My telegrams Nós. 1269 and 1394: Reuters correspondent in Peking and N.C.N.A. Personnel in Hong Kong.
On 12 September Hsueh Ping received the normal monthly visit from his wife. She was accompanied by two employees of the N.C.N.A. and, in accordance with normal prison practice here, these were also admitted to see him after giving their names. To have prevented these men from seeing Hsueh would have implied deliberate discrimination against him as compared with other prisoners.
2. No doubt N.C.N.A. will assume that we deliberately allowed the visit as a special act of policy. There may therefore be something to be said for an attempt now to arrange a visit to Gray, who we assume to be still under house arrest and incommunicado.
