It brought to 573 the total MIGs

and three memorials during its
• afternoon session Friday.

Communists Offer
To Barter Britisher
For Girl Guerrilla
LONDON, UP1 — World Commu
nism Saturday offered a sensa
tional human barter — a British
businessman in a Hungarian jail
for a Chinese girl guerrilla chief
facing the gallows in the jungles
of far-off Malaya.
The trade was authoritatively
said to have been suggested to the
British legation in Budapest, Hun
gary, and to British Foreign Sec
retary Anthony Eden in London.
The British foreign office said
it was considering the proposed
exchange but added that no de
cision had yet been reached.
The central figures involved in
the offer were:
Edgar Sanders, 43-year-old cous
in of Movie Star George Sanders,
who was sentenced to prison on
spy charges along with American
Robert Vogeler in February, 1951;
Lee Meng, alias Le Ten Tai,
now 25, a petulant-looking Chi
nese woman accused by the Brit
ish of being one of the highest
ranking female Communists in
embattled Malaya. She was seized
in the rich tin-mining state of
Perak in July, 1952. After two
trials, she was sentenced to hang
for possessing a hand grenade in
violation of Malayan emergency
regulations.
The unusual exchange offer,
spreading over two continents,
pointed up the intricate ties of
the world Communist movement.
It also indicated the high value
placed by international Commu
nism on the head of the woman
jungle leader for whom the Mal
ayan government had posted a
reward of 40,000 U.S. dollars.
