Chou Demands
Reciprocal Rights
For Reporters
PEIPING, (#) — Premier Chou
En - Lai told touring American
youths Saturday that 24 U. S.
newsmen will not be admitted to
Red China unless the United
States allows Chinese reporters
the same rights.
Chou told the Americans the
“State Department put an end to
the matter by refusing reciprocal
rights of coverage by Chinese
reporters.”
Chou met with 41 Americans
at the headquarters of the State
Council and talked on American
prisoners in China, Chinese “pris
oners” in the United States,
newsmen, the Hungarian report
in the United Nations, Formosa
and Tibet.
Chou said Red China is against
the U. N. Hungarian report. “It
starts from the standpoint of in
terfering in the internal affairs
of Hungary. It distorts facts.”
This dispatch was filed to the
Associated Press from Peiping by
Frederic Grab of Arlington, Va.,
a 22-year-old member of the Am
erican delegation.
Under the State Department
proposal for an exchange of news
men the United States would con
sider the admission of Red Chi
nese reporters, and each case
would be handled on its own
merits. Secretary of State Dulles
has said admission of the Chi
nese would have to comply with
existing U.S. laws dealing with
the Communists in the United
States.
