...Ukrainian-born Philip Jacob Jaffe, 48, wealthy Manhattan greeting-card manufacturer, who, along with Miss Mitchell, edited and published a little magazine called Amerasia, devoted to plugging the Chinese (Yenan) Communists and criticizing the Chiang policies which the U.S. State Department supported...

I told him that there was increasing uneasiness in America because of the tight censorship. . . . Chiang said he welcomed such a frank complaint...
