Europe Fears 'Invasion' by Red Chinese tion such relief is proffered, free of charge, Chinese officials say. EASTERN GERMANY, it -is reported, has accepted the proposal of Nu Ing-tan, Red China's expert on industrial planning, to fill in her shortage by mass importation of Chinese labor. It is known that Soviet Germany has incurred a defection of approximately 2,250,000 persons about 14 of her manpower to the West. The papers mentioned refer to this proposed resettlement as an invited plague of "Red-worker-ants." THESE PERIODICALS, quoting as their authority Indian sources, say that the Kremlin has given only reluctant assent to the mass migration scheme. They state that Chou En-lai made a like offer to Russia, to supply abundant coolie labor to Chinese 'Ants' to be Settled in Europe." Their alarm is stirred because the prospective invasion may be "by consent of the invaded." The stories are based upon reports from Berfin-Pankow, capital of the Soviet zone of Germany, that an agreement has been reached between East Germany and Red China, whereby 5,000,000 Chinese industrial and agricultural workers are to be settled, within the next five years, commencing in 1960, in the Soviet zone of Germany.

THESE WOULD emigrate from China at the rate of one million a year. According to Peiping, this is merely a generous gesture, to relieve present manpower shortages in that Soviet satellite country. Out of China's teeming overpopula speed up the industrialization of Siberia, but Moscow declined to accept. It is known that similar offers have been made to other satellite countries Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary, Albania, Poland and Czechoslovakia all bedeviled by manpower shortages. The total cf such offered help runs up to 12,000,000 young Chinese.

IT IS REPORTED that in accepting the East German accord provided that the Chinese would not be intermingled with the native-born population. Instead they would be housed in mass-barracks, which would gradually be transformed into Chinese Communes. Each Chinese worker, however, would be allowed to bring along his wife and family. Birth statistics indicate that it wouldn't be long before the Chinese The writer was Consul General of Yugoslavia in Ncnr York for many years, until he defected and became an American citizen.

GAVRILOYICH Free Pms Special Writer A twentieth-century Genghis Khan is on the march. The prospect of a new Asian invasion terrifies Europe. Foreign publications such as the Saarbrucken "Neues Europa" and the Frankfurt "Ost-West-Kurier" have burst out with frightened headlines such as "Red Chinese Invasion of Europe," and "Twelve Million population of East Germany would far exceed the 17,000,000 native-bom. MEANTIME, in China, recruiting for the mass emigration to East Germany is well advanced; it is reported that twice the needed number have already volunteered. Schools ha-e be'en established to teach German to prospective settlers in the Soviet zone of Germany.

Some European newspapers made a sardonic comment: "Will Russia one day be forced to seek allies-including the United States to combat the 'Yellow Peril when Russia finds herself surrounded, both in East and West, by a huge potential Chinese army?" For as some European commentators see it, the battle lines are already drawn between Russia and Red China, as to which shall ultimately be the' dominating power in world Communism.

Holiday Total Expected To Exceed 260 Forecast BY ROBERT S. BOYD Free Press Suff Writer Most people in Michigan are painfully aware that hospital costs are going up and up. They get a fresh reminder every time Blue Cros3 takes a thick slice out of their pay checks. But rising costs are showing up in another way, too the bill society has to pay for hospital care of the poor. That's also going to be costing you more.

POOLER Free Press Columnist We novice fishermen have asked for some help with summer coming on. We novices have asked about the relative merits of day and night fishing in Michigan. Among the fascinating things we got back was a picture from our old friend, Harold Todd, of i 1 eton, showing us a truck-load of fish caught after dark.

We were too busy at the time to Pooler accept his inviation to come up and garner at the right moment these bushels of fish. (Another year, another invitation?) But did get from Leo Daloisio, president at the Wayne County Sportsmans Club, some tips about the best wa3's and times to fish to prove there are some people willing to exenange fishing secrets. "SOME SPECIES of Michigan fish, like humans, do their prowling at night, others during daylight and-some both at day and night," he says. "Bluegills and sunfish will take any small bait that is thrown at them. "Bullheads and catfish as a rule bite better after dark with worms (ripe), liver and dead minnows fished on the bottom bringing the best results.

"Calico bass or crappie can be taken in large number during the day in summer with live minnows as -the best bait. "Large-mouth or small-mouth black bass can be taken day or night. A few hours before and after sunrise and a few hours before and after sunset are the best times. They will take both live and artificial bait adapted to where you are fishing. "GRASS PIKE and Northern pike are primarily day fodders.

"Silver bass can be caught day or night. "Walleyed, pike or pickerel can also be. caught day or night. During the day they are taken in deeper waters, at night in shallower waters. "Perch can be taken in large numbers from sunrise to sunset.

But there can be exceptions. "Last winter while fishing for smelt at Leamington at night we tried our luck closer to the bottom in about 20 feet of water. The result: 150 perch. We tried it again on several occasions but only came up with smelt." Sunday, May 31, of highway fatalities its final day. Day weekend.

One reporter said Baker, a vivacious, one-pound squirrel monkey from Florida, uttered a few peeping noises when the photographers swarmed close about her. Able, the seven pound Rhesus monkey from Independence, showed a wound across the abdomen wheh off cials said was caused by surgery required to attach scentific recordng instruments to her. She also had a red scar beside the right eye, but this was caused in a scramble from one cage to another. Baker appeared to be in perfect shape.

She wore a tiny canvas jacket, perched on her trainer's hand, nibbled crackers and showed no fear. BUT SUNDAY? Holiday Sure Was A Beauty Lots of people carried raincoats and umbrellas Saturday but it was just excess baggage. It couldn't have been a nicer holiday. Balmy breezes, mostly sunny blue skies, and temperatures comfortably stuck in the 70's spelled delight to parade-goers, picnickers and just plain loafers. But Sunday will be partly cloudy, with showers or thunderstorms likely.

It's trying to shift part of the load to the taxpayers. If no help is forthcoming by July 1, the hospital will take a drastic step. IT WILL cease to give free out-patient care to needy youngsters on the welfare or ADC (Aid to Dependent Children) rolls.

These children many of them real hardship cases accounted for 25 per cent of the visits to Children's Hospital's out-patient clinic last year. They paid nothing for their care. But they cost the hospital $186,181 in 1958. UNLIKE THE government-supported hospitals, such as Receiving or Wayne County General, Children's Hospital doesn't have access to tax money to pay the costs of treating poor children. For most of its 72-j-ear history, Children's Hospital has met this expense through charitable gifts.

It still does so in large measure. The United Foundation gives the hospital a year to take care of needy youngsters. But now, those rising costs have soared too far. Children's Hospital ran more than $700,000 into the red last year. THE GAP was too much for Torch Drive funds to cover.

The hospital had to borrow $50,000 last December to squeeze through the year. In February, it got an emergency grant of 75,000 extra from the United Fund to last through June. But time and money are running out. CHILDREN'S Hospital suffers from three big money leaks: The loss in the outpatient clinic for free treatment of welfare and ADC cases $186,181 last year. The hospital believes the city, county and state should pay the medical expenses of these children just as they pay for their food, clothing and shelter.

The city is currently studying the hospital's plea for an allowance of $5.50 every time a welfare patient visits the clinic Welfare Supt. Daniel J. Ryan predicts the city willbe pble to pay something but not all the hospital wants. THE STATE Welfare Commission this week rejected a plea for direct payment of hospital expenses of ADC children.

(UPI) Rescue teams drove an automatic coal mining machine deep into a hillside near here Saturday trying to reach three men trapped more than 24 hours in a mine tunnel cave-in. The men were receiving air, water and milk through a pipe driven through to the room in which they were trapped Friday morning 500 feet deep in the mine. OFFICIALS of the Ken Coal Co. hope the men will be reached and brought out unharmed, but progress was slower than expected. Eugene Quinlan, safety director for the Peabody Coal which owns the Ken Coal said the mechanical "coal mole" might not reach the men before midnight Saturday.

Earlier, company spokesmen had thought the machine was more than 200 feet into the hillside and might reach the men by noon. Early Saturday morning, 25 gallons of milk was sent through the air lines and the miners caught it in their tool boxes, lunch pails and hard hats as it poured from the hose. They were able to communicate with the outside by means of a mine radio attached to a piece of machinery they had been using. One of the men, Don Mc-Claren, 53, of Anna, 111., a shuttle car operator, talked to his wife and told her, "Just simmer down and be calm. e're all right.

We'll be here when the men get to us." The other trapped miners are Earl Bennett, 50, of Taylors-ville, 111- a mechanic, and Jake Lewis, 38, of Harlan, Ky, who operates a coal mole similar to the one being used in the rescue operation.
