U. S. Official
Released
BY Soviets

Thomas Hadden, United
States Deputy Information
Control Officer who was for
chilly seized by Soviet soldiers,
was released following a Wig
orous protest by the u. S.
Commander. Three more Ger
man policemen who were
seized were also released, how
ever, there are still six re-
naming; of this number one
was stabbed and the other
dubbed. It is unlikely they
will release them in a hurry.
Mr.. Hadden was questioned
at length by the Soviets
among other things they ask
ed: what he thought about
communism; about Truman's
policies and Henry Wallace's
chances of election to the
presidency Of the United
States.

Rhee, of the young republic.
General Hodge was COM

ponsible for Korean indepen-
dence. General Hodges depu-
ty will assume command of
the forces, which will remain
until a strong Korean army is
trained, to prevent the new
republic from being swallow
ed up by the communists.

Mac Arthur Buns
Iron Curtoin" Film
In Jqpdn

General Douglas Mac Ar
thur has banned the film
known as "The Iron Curtain,
after an advance review Of it.
The Supreme Commander
thinks it is not a good picture
which portrays brutality Of
Soviet diplomats and makes a
hero Of a Communist who
leaves the party and joins the
Canadian army. This IS bad
propaganda, he indicated.

These employees have had substantial raises
during and since the war. Their average week.

earnings of workers in manufacturing indus
