...last week for the sacred act of laying on of hands. The place: All-Saints-by-the-Sea in Santa Barbara, Calif. The occasion: the first consecration in the U.S. of an Oriental bishop. Episcopal bishops are usually consecrated in cathedrals, but China-born Rt. Rev. Quentin K. Y. Huang, who studied for the ministry in the U.S., had deliberately chosen the tiny (300 communicants) church at Santa Barbara. Reason: for several years it had been the only guaranteed source of financial support for relief work he directed in China...
...slender, 44-year-old Bishop Huang, who had arrived from China wearing a discarded G.I. uniform, the colorful service of consecration was both an end and a beginning. It was a reward for Christian work during the misery of war. Somehow he survived 265 bombings unscratched while he helped refugees, conducted services, directed an ambulance corps.

Liang was convicted of "stealing military materials and of squeeze and extortion." Huang was convicted of receiving 4,100,000 Chinese dollars ($205,000 official rate) rake-off in purchasing military supplies. Pao had made 1,400,000 Chinese dollars from a building contract. All three were shot...
...doctors. Even Westerners agree that there is a lot of common sense in Dr. Chang's methods-he is a good doctor who knows symptoms, takes pulses, fits the medicine to the patient's needs. And some Chinese medicines have panned out by Western standards (e.g., "ma-huang," known in America as ephedrine, a drug which constricts blood vessels). But Dr. Chang is an exception: in the hands of most village practitioners, the native craft has degenerated into superstitious mumbo jumbo...
