Useless Act’
JUNEAU, UP) — A house-ap
proved bill designed to protect
Northwestern Alaska • reindeer
herds staved off indefinite post
ponement in the Senate yester
day, and was sent to the Judi
ciary Committee for possible re
drafting.
The chairman of the Judiciary
Committee, Sen. Ralph Moody,
moved for the indefinite post
ponement, saying it was “a use
less act — it’s already illegal to
kill or take property belonging
to another person.”
Moody told Northwestern sen
ators, who endorsed the bill, that
“we would not toe accomplishing
anything if we pass this, except
that we would toe misleading the
people in your area if we put
this in.”
Moody said he would rather
“we come up with something
worthwhile,” and then withdrew
his motion to postpone action on
the bill at this time. The bill was
withdrawn from the calendar and
referred to the Judiciary Com
mittee for work.

Priest in Red China
By GEOFFREY GOULD

United States will rfiake the
“strongest possible protest” to Red
China for giving a 20-year prison
sentence to an ailing 68-year-old
American prelate, Roman Catholic
Bishop James Walsh.
Secretary of State Christian
Herter said Friday “I find it dif
ficult to emphasize sufficiently
the revulsion that I, personally,
and the U. S. government feel
today.
“I am instructing our ambas
sador at Warsaw to lodge the
strongest possible protest with the
representative of the Chinese
Communist regime at their meet
ing next Tuesday.
The United States does not rec
ognize Red China and has no dip
lomatic relations with the coun
try. However for the past 18
months Ambassador Jacob D.
Beam of Warsaw and Red Chinese
Amassador there Wang Ping-Nan,
have been maintaining formal
contact. One purpose of the peri
odic talks is to try to obtain the
release of a handful of American
prisoners in Red China.
Peiping Radio said Friday that
Bishop Walsh admitted plotting
to overthrow the Communist
government. The prelate had been
in China since 1948 and remained
at his Shanghai post after the
Communists took over the next
year. He refused an offer to re
turn home in 1955.
