Son's Sex Change Is Complete Says Father
London, Mar. 14.
The father of sex-changed Roberta Cowell said tonight that his daughter "is now completely female."
Sir Ernest Cowell denied a newspaper report that Roberta, who was once Robert Cowell, RAF fighter pilot and racing motorist, was not a woman "in the full sense."
The Sunday Pictorial declared
in a front-page story: "His birth certificate is changed to Roberta Elizabeth Cowell, and be wears women's clothes, but the ex- perts think he is still not in com- plete female.

Attempt Made On His Life, Alleges Dr Wu
Evanston, Ill, Mar. 14. :
Dr K. C. Wu, former Governor of Formosa, said today a "dastard-
ly attempt" was made on his life after he left the Formosan Government and that President Chiang Kai-shek's regime is now holding his son as a "hostage."
At the same time, Dr Wu charged that President Chiang is trying to mould an undemocratie “dynasty" on the island.
The ex-Governor said the made attempt on his life was after he left the Formosan Gov- ernment in 1953, but declined to give detalla because they "might do harm" to persons still on the Island.
