Reaffirms Ban On Red China Visits State Department Keeps Blanket Ban WASHINGTON (UP) — The state department has reaffirmed its blanket ban on permitting American newsmen or other cititens to visit Red China. The department said the ban will be in effect as long as Red China holds Americans "as political hostages.” The department issued a formal policy on travel in Red China Tuesday after the Peiping regime invited 15 American newsmen to visit the Chinese mainland. Th department said the United States welcomes free exchange of information between countries. But it said the Chinese Communist regime by "taking American citixens into captivity and holding them in effect as political hostages . , . has created a special impediment.” The department said Red China still is holding 11 American citizens despite an agreement last Sept. 10 to free all Americans “ex peditiously.” It said 10 of the Americans are in Red Chinese prisons. ■. 'So long as these conditions continue R is not considered to be In the best interests of the United States that Americans should accept the Chinese Communist invitation to travel in .. Communist China." the department said. Herbert Rrucker, chairman of the freedom of information conF mittee of the American society of newspaper editors, protested that the state department ban was “a fundamental violation of the principles the government and people of the United States stand for.” "Conimunism thrives on darkness and suppression, said Bracket, editor of the Hartford (Conn.)

Constitution Party Launched In State Washington Doctor Is State Chairman INDIANAPOLIS (UP)—“We will keep the torch of freedom from being plunged into the sea of socialism. . .” With those words Dr. Arthur Blazey. a Washington. Ind., physician, last week launched the state’s part in one of the oldest election schemes in history. Blazey, chairman of Indiana’s newly-formed Constitution party, is one of numerous right-wingers throughout the country who think they can put a president in the White House without the recorded vote of the majority of citizens. Their plan runs as follows: 1. Get “Constitution” and “States Rights” parties on as many state ballots as possible with nominations for right-wingers for president. 2. Receive enough votes so that neither candidate from the two

major parties receives enough ballots |in the electoral college to gain office. By law the winner must receive a majority of electoral votes. 3. Build up popular opinion to the point where, if the election is thrown into the house of representatives, their own right-wing candidate wins. “We don’t have a big publicity campaign?' Brazey said. “We work through the grapevine. This is a grass roots movement. All the people who value their money but are sacrificing it4or taxes will be behind us.” Brazey hopes to get the party on the Indiana ballot. They have no presidential nominee yet But he promises to announce one after the Democratic national convene tion. He thinks “it might be Sen. (James O.) Eastland of Mississippi.” Eastland favors down—the—line segregation of Whites and Negroes but Brazey said he and other support him mainly because he favors states rights. “The Republican and Democratic parties have been taken over,” Brazey said. “We can go no longer work within the parties. I was a Republican, but I lost faith in them.” States rights is the major issue of the campaign, according to Brazey. He is opposed to federal controls, foreign aid, the new and fair deals, the Republican and Democratic party leadership, naletters, the supreme court Decision 'bn segregation, the income tax, and socialism and communism, which he feels go together. * The idea for the Constitution party in Indiana came in a meeting in Indianapolis last June by Clarence Manion, former dean of Notre Dame law school. ■ Manion summoned right-wingers from all over the state. The Constitution party was finally formed last week as an “For ■America,” a national orgarrtiation started in 1952 by the late Col. Robert R. McCormick, pblisher of the Chicago Tribune. Manion is a leader of ‘“For America.”_ - .... Brazey said his party also has tie-ins with various right-wing groups throughout the country. He thinks seven states have Constitu tion parties which will get on the ballot, and they will teain up with states rights parties in the South. Eventually the plan is to give the Constitution party a nationwide ticket including candidates for all public offices. "The people will support us once they hear about it,” Brazey predicted.
