U. 5. Treasury Bans Payment of Ransom To Reds in China By »h« Auociated Pr«» NEW YORK, Dec. 8.—The Treas ury Department today threatened fines and imprisonment Against those sending money to Red China in the hope of saving relatives in the hands of the Communists. E. E. Minskoff, head attorney of the Treasury’s general counsel of fice, said the “trading with the enemy” act will be applied to try to smash what he termed a “dia bolically clever” extortion scheme by the Reds. The act provides for fines of up to $10,000 and ten years in prison, or both. Laundryman Goes Wild. Mr. Minskoff made the an nouncement a few hours after Chin Hong, 40, a laundryman in despair at not having enough money to try to buy safety for relatives in China, went besserk and was killed by police bullets. Until now, Mr. Minskoff said, the Treasury has ben loathe to prosecute persons whose families are being “exterminated,” but now the Reds’ scheme has reached "flood” stage. Chinese Americans around New York are being milked of nearly $1 million a year, he said. In Hong Kong, the Chinese Reds came up with one of their few comments on the ransom de mands, calling it a “well justified” tax, rather than extortion. The pro-Communist newspaper, Wen Wai Pao, said an investiga tion of demands on the family of a Canadian resident named Chu revealed that Chu inherited Chi nese properties in 1948. What was sought, the paper said, was re imbursement for rice he “ex ploited.” The Treasury official said the Reds bonanza stems from their realization that “a Chinese can not say ‘no’ to a relative.” IF YOU ARE you'll look glamorous 1n this Cocktail Dress with beautiful lines so • perfectly proportioned to flatter your figure, come holiday parties!
