Harriman Warns % Against Helping Save China’s Face WASHINGTON (AP) — Averell Harriman Thursday cautioned against any hasty U. S. moves that might help Red China escape Asian indigation over treatment of the Dalai Lama. Harriman, a former governor of New York, mutual security direc tor and ambassador to the Soviet Union, generally supported the foreign aid program in testimony before the House Foreign Affairs Committee. He got the backing of another former diplomat - Rep. • Chester Bowles D-Conn.—when he said this country “should not be the first to rush in” with recognition of a Tibetan government-in-exile if the Dalai Lama should set one up. The Dalai Lama, spiritual and tempoi'al leader of the Buddhist Tibetans, fled to India when Red Chinese forces seized his remote mountain capital, Ihasa. Harriman and Bowles both said the non-Communist world stands to profit from the Tibetan ci’isis if it brings home to Buddhist and other Asian countries the ruthlessr ness of communism and its basic hostility to religion. But they said the effect might be ruined by efforts to give “a cold war twist” to the situation. Harriman said he hopes Asian na tions will take a strong stand, which the United States could back up. However, he agreed with Rep. Walter H. Judd D-Minn that hu- No Waiting HOTARD^ Cafeteria 11 a.m. - 2:30 p.m.—5 p. m. - 8:30 p.m. manitarian efforts by U.

PROVE IT TO YOURSELF AT YOUR FORD DEALER'S ‘**&* My ' 1 MAK LONG DISTA CALLS I sld its TELEPHONE STATION-TO-STATION Long distance telephone service is economical anytime. But when you call station-to-station, then it's downright cheap. Actually you can make three calls for the price of two. And there’s no sacrifice in service, either... just a sizeable saving. Just tell the operator you will talk to anyone who answers the long distance number you’re calling. It's as easy as that to save 30%. And remember you save even more by calling after 6 p. m. any day or all day Sunday. Already low rates are even lower at these times.
