and research were cited as the
main differences between com-

United States and Nationalist
China by the head of Chiang
Kai-shek's telephone and tele-
graph system.
William W. Lee, chief of traf-
fic and commercial department

where United States experts act
as advisers, he said.
Leery who has been associated
with Chinese government com-
munications for 25 years, is in
this country under the auspices
of the Federal Communications
Commission.
Prior to coing to Cleveland, he
surveyed telephone facilities in
southern Ohio and telegraph op-
erations in New York. He will
return to New York and later
go to Stanford University for a
course in communications.
