WANT T0 RETURN | 10 HISSION SEAT! American Workers Divided on| Opinions on “Ran Out” By RANDALL GOULD (United Press Staff Correspondent) Tsingtao, China, June 17 (UP)— American missionaries from all over Shantung province are congregated in Tsingtao and wondering, “Where do we go from here?” A fair proportion of them, sur- vey by the United Press indicates, want to go right back where they came from. Moreover, they are now somewhat annoyed over the| situation in which they find them-| sclves. But they can't return to their posts for a while, hecause of \ variety of reasons, none of them ugreeable, Tt scems the practically unani-| mous opinion that such danger as may have existed, if any, does not now exist. Everybody recognizes that there may be more danger in future, but at present most of the temporary residents of Tsingtao feel that they would be quite safe back at their respective jobs if they could get there. Perhaps this view would not be so unanimous if all the evacuated missionaries were present to testify Quite a numper have departcd fc home. Most of these were anxiou to depart, according to those still remaining. It 18 said that when the American consular warning ad-| vice or command—-versions as to, just what happened in late March| \ary—was received, some of the| missionary families got out, bag and | baggage, in less than twelve hours,| which s construed as indicating| that they were “all set to go” and| had been for some time. i clear. | tor such a return would be useless. them If necessary in the event that they decline to obey orders; the American authotities cannot order anyone out. Some of the mission- aries declare that the “advice” of the American authorlties amounted to an order, and that they left be- cause they believed that they had to, and against their own best judg- ment. So far as could be ascertained by the United Press, the American| consular and legation authorities did nothing technically wrong in{ this connection.

It seems quite generally to be the impression that to ask approval of consular or legation authorities One important missionary leader red this to be his belief on two unds: First, that as a matter of 1 the officials would hate to| crsc their recent judzment in “avor of evacuation, and second, that it is the t course from the| viewpoint of officialdom to get the| missionaries out and to keep them' out, i “Mes nwhile, our work goes to| pieces” ‘continued this spokesman, | who is connected with an imper<; tant Christian university at Tsinanu. | “Chinese have taken over our po-| | sitions, and are, of course, pleased| ng moral buffer against NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, ' More Then 8,400 Pounds of Human Flesh at Banquet Table “Milan, June 17 (UP)—More than 8,400 pounds of human flesh sat round the banquet table of 30 per- sons at the annual fat men's feast here.
