First 2 Americans
Freed by Red China
Reach Hong Kong
Fulbright Scholar Says He Spied
For U. S.; Priest Also Released
HONG KONG, Sept. 16 (ff). Red China today
released two American civilians—the first of 22 the
Communists have promised to free. One of the two
asserted he was guilty of spying for the United States.
Released were Walter A. Rickett of Seattle, a Ful
bright Scholar imprisoned July 25, 1951, on espionage
charges, and the Rev. Harold W. Rigney, 54,. Chicago,
dean of the Roman Catholic
Pu Jen University in Peiping.
He was arrested on spying and
sabotage charges in July, 1951.
Mr. Rickett said, after cross
ing the border into this British
crown colony: “I was engaged
in espionage work and there was
a (Korean) war. I was an agent:
for the United States Govern
ment. I collected military in-;
formation.”
Wife Reiterates Views
Mr, Rickett’s wife Adele, when
released by the Reds last Feb
ruary, said she was guilty of j
spying. She praised the Com
munists highly. She reiterated;
that today after her husband j
was freed.
American officials said last
spring Mrs. Ricketts appeared to
have been thoroughly “brain
washed.” Her husband is a
former United States Marine
Corps language officer who
speaks Chinese and Japanese. j
Father Rigney was taken to
the Hong Kong Catholic Center.;
The Rev. Charles H. Vath said’
“he looks terrible—you don’t;
understand,” and asked newsmen
to give the liberated priest time
to rest.
Father Vath said a news con
ference would be held later. |
Mr. Rickett was taken to the;
Gloucester Hotel in downtown
Hong Kong.
No Others Arrive
Three hours after Mr. Rickett
and Father Rigney were released
there was no official word that
any other Americans had crossed
the border.
"We have, waited four years;
and three months for this day,”;
said Father Rigney.
Both talked briefly at the
border with Richard Tomlin.

RED FARM TEAM BACK HOME
AFTER U. S. LEMONADE 'BINGE'
MOSCOW OF r— The Soviet farm delegation which
visited the United States and Canada returned to Moscow
yesterday and the agriculture ministry's official newspaper
said they had made a deep impression.
The article in Soviet Agriculture said the Russians trav
eled through 12 States, visited 50 farms and drank 600 litters
(158 Vi gallons) of lemonade.
It quoted American press figures that there were 29
luncheons, dinners and receptions 4n their honor during
28 days in the United States and said that all their meet
ings with United States fanners invariably were marked
by friendliness.
It said the few unfriendly articles about the tourists
“published by certain organs of the press failed to mar
the atmosphere of warmth extended to the Soviet guests.”
Soviet newspapers so far have made no mention of the
Incidents of hostility to the Russians in Canada, where
anti-Communist refugees staged demonstrations against
them. •

Ford Pleads
For United Fund
Advantages of combining com
munity fund appeals into a sin
gle campaign were cited here
today by Benson Ford at a rally
of business leaders participating!
in the 1955 Red Feather drive,
for $4 million in Metropolitan
Washington.
The vice president of the Ford
Motor Co. said united giving is
not only good business for all
concerned, but is a boon to civic
spirit and helps improve iabor
management relations.
In a luncheon address at!
Hotel Statler, Mr. Ford described,
; the Community Chest as thet
I closest thing to united giving.
I but he expressed hope that
Washington next year Will come
even closer to a campaign in;
which the people can "give once;
for all.”
Describes Detroit’s Success
The industrialist, who heads;
the United Foundation of De
troit, told the business leaders
the phenomenal success story of
the one-campaign policy in his
city and elsewhere.
“In the six years since the De
troit Fund was put into effect,"
he said, “the practice has spread
like wildfire until today about
712 communities have united
funds. Nearly half of all the
money contributed last year went,
to united funds.
“That’s quite a record, par
ticularly when vou consider that
the united fund is a local activ-,
ity. There is not and will be no
national united fund organiza-;
tion—a very important consid
eration to those of us who be
lieve in trying to solve our pri-j
vate problems by private means.” j
United Drive Demanded
I Mr. Ford said the 1955 Wash
ington area Chest campaign has
particular significance in view of
the fact that many local business
and civic groups are demanding
united drives.
"As your closest equivalent to
‘giving once for all,'’ he said,
“this campaign can point the
way toward more united giving

token, it seems to me that any

He Tells President
Odds Favor Russian
Exchange of Secrets
By GARNETT D. HORNER
Star Staff Correspondent
DENVER. Sept. 12 Harold E. 1
Stassen reported to President
Eisenhower today that he be
lieves the odds are that Russia
will accept the Preaident’s pro
posal for an exchange or military
blueprints and mutual aerial in-;
spection as the "gateway” to dis
armament and sound peace.
Mr. Stassen. special assistant
to the Prerident for disarmament
policy, and this country’s deputy
representative In United Nations
disarmament subcommittee ne
gotiations with the Russians,
conferred with Mr. Eisenhower
for more than half an hour at
his vacation headquarters here.
He told newsmen later that his
report on U. N. talks was "opti
mistic," and at the same time
reflecting the need for patience
because “we realize It does take
time” for the Russians to give an
answer to the far-reaching pro
posal with which the President
startled them at the Geneva Big
Pour conference in July.
Close Study Indicated
Mr. Stassen said “there is
every indication” that the So
viet Union is giving the blue
print exchange—aerial Inspec
tion proposal "very intensive and
thorough study."
He also voiced belief that
countries "around (he world” are
becoming convinced that the
President’s Geneva proposal "is
the gateway that has the best
prospect of leading into future
reductions in armaments and a
lasting peace.”
Asked if he believed the Rus
sians eventually would accept the
proposal, he replied:
"I’d say the odds are that they
will.”
Later he amplified this by say
ing he believes the entire United
Nations General Assembly, in
cluding the Soviet Union, will
support the “gateway” sugges
tion.
Hopes for Favorable Report
Mr. Stassen explained that he
hopes the full United Nations;
; Disarmament Commission will I
act unanimously to present a'
favorable report on the Elsen
hower proposal to the General
Assembly during its session
jstarting next week and ending
;in December. *
After conferring with Mr.
Stassen the President went out
;for a private golf tourna
ment with a group of friends
who came here from vari
ous parts of the country for
a “stag weekend” of golf and
bridge.
Francis Oulmet, 1913 National
Open golf champion, and Charles

executives—matching scores with

With Colorful Ceremony
General's Reunion With Tribesmen
In Mountains Is Bizarre Affair
By CROSBY S. NOYES I
European Correspondent of The Star i
RABAT, French Morocco, Sept.
16.—For Lt. Gen. Pierre Boyer
de Latour, resident general of
France in Morocco, his visit to
the Berber tribe of Alt Segh-i
rouchen de Sidi All was some
thing of a family reunion.
Back in the 20s when the young
De Latour was serving as a jun-;
ior officer in the French colonial
army, the Alt Seghrouchen was
one of “his tribes." He even
;took a wife from the tribe (mar
ried and subsequently returned
to her family, according to
Berber law), who bore him his
first son, Georges, now a lieu
tenant in the French army.
For some 50 correspondents
who kibitzed at the affair, the
400 mile motortrip to the central
Atlas mountains was a welcome 1
change from the supercharged:
political atmosphere of the
Moroccan capital. It was also
evidence of the confidence placed
in the control of French authori

Revolt Is sth
Against Him
In 3 Months
BUENOS AIRES, Sept. 16 W7.
—Circles in close contact with
| the army said today unnamed
officials in the army had called
i upon President Peron to resign.
There was no official con
- firmation.
: Federal police headquarters
• near the Congress building were
! evacuated, possibly indicating
i fear of an attack.
1 Gen. Peron was reported to
have gone to the Army Ministry
; about 3 a.m.
t This report came on the heels
■of government announcements
that armed rebellion had flared
at three key centers in the in- #
, terior and had been "rapidly”
!’crushed. The government also
, declared a terrorist plot had been
i jsmashed in Buenos Aires with
i the arrest of 100 civilians. This
, was the fourth reported plot
aimed at upsetting Gen. Peron
I since the major revolt of June
16—just three months ago to
; day.
General Named as Leader
j The state radio said "it is
II understood” the chief of the
’rebel forces is former Gen. Dal
;miro Felix Videla Balaguer. who
was accused September 8 of
leading the Rio Cuarto garrison
jin a conspiracy which was
’crushed. Pour days later, Gen.
Balaguer was reported under ar
rest, but this never was con
firmed officially.
Despite earlier government an
nouncements that the situation
had been “fully dominated.”
there still appeared to be rebel
{activity in some areas this aft
ernoon.
; But the state radio broadcast
! ;said the rebels were being “suf
'! located” and repeated that the
‘ government "fully dominates”
’the situation.
“All other commanders have
’ affirmed their loyalty to the gov
ernment,” it said.
The surrender of 300 rebel
‘ troops in Kntre Rios Province
- was announced.
j; State of Seige Extended
! A state of siege—virtual mar
: tial law—was extended to the
i entire country. Previously this
applied only to Buenos Aires.
’ Gen. Peron proclaimed the
state of siege and the House of
Deputies, completely dominated
by pro-Peron deputies, approved
it in just five minutes.
I There -was no official account
of casualties from the revolt but
it appeared that some bloodshed
must have resulted.
! A policeman was reported shot
to death in the Belgrano district
of the capital. Identity of his at
tackers was unknown but they
may have been linked with the
plotters in the capital city.
Gen. Peron had been sched
uled to speak at 10 a.m. <9 a.m.
EDT) to leaders of the General
Confederation of Labor, the
-workers' organization which is
the backbone of the Peron re
gime. The speech was not mad#
on schedule.
Antiaircraft Guns Ready
An arf^of quiet tension pre
vailed in the capital, where anti
aircraft guns were mounted at
’strategic points, including Casa
Rosado, the pink building where
;Gen. Peron has his presidential
I headquarters.'
A government broadcast as
sured the nation that all was
calm and "the situation has been
totally dominated."
In Entre Rio Province, north
of Buenos Aires, elements of the
3d Cavalry Regiment rebelled.
The government said this revolt
was crushed by loyal troops and
300 of the rebels surrendered.
On the outskirts of Cordoba,
Ithe big provincial capital in cen
tral Argentina, elements in an

,to seize control. Fighting raged
there, with loyal troops of the
