Reds Bind And Shoot Thirty-Two U. s. Prisoners

(Contiuued from Page One) ridge recaptured by the Fifth Cav- airy yesterday afternoon. The American prisoners were killed only two hours before troopers re- took the ridge.
 The Americans seized the ridge at 6:30 pm. The hill had been fought over for three days.
 The 37 Americans were moved down by bursts of gunfire.
 Three North Korean prisoners were taken after a sharp fire fight nearby. One of them was positively identified by an Ameri- can survivor--Cpl. James Melvin Rudd of Salyersville, Ky.-as a members of the squad of killers. > This prisoner denied he had taken any part in the action. Reg imental officer said he would be sent back with recommendation that he be tried as war criminal.
 On the way back from the front we met the prisoner and Corporal Rudd on their trip back for joint questioning. With Rudd was an- other survivor-Corporal Roy l.. Day, Jr., >..l Paso, Tex.
 Day looked at the two North Korean prisoners in the back of the truck and said:
 .s'If you ask me, I think they should be shot just as they shot our men, rather than be given a trial. Or else we ought to string them up right now"

Korean Situation At A Glance --.

 The British destroyer Concord and Chinese communist shore bat teries fought 30-minute duel on the approaches to Hong Kong. This was disclosed to have been the second such exchange of fire in the tense Far East. The British frigate Whitesand Bay shot at communist gun supplements in the same area on Aug. 2, it was of- ficially reported.
 The Concord fought with com munist batteries on three islands -Taitami, Puntin and Lingtin-in self-defense, the British said. There was one minor British cas- ualty.
 In the past week Red batteries on the islands have fired on three merchant ships - British, Ameri- can and Norwegian.
 In Washington, Senator Wiley R.-Wis.) said the Russians had "baited a trap" to involve the U. s. with the Chinese communists in a struggle which would "bleed us completely dry" He called for an all-out effort to keep the Chi nese communists from being in- volved in the Korean struggle.
 In Washington, too, it was be- -lieved by many that the Russians in cooperation with Red China may re-occupy North Korea. An Allied offensive beyond the 38th parallel would thus involve direct fighting with Russia.
 Navy pilots reported the de- struction or damage of 34 tanks in new sweeps. Fifth Air Force pilots said they damaged eight tanks in ground support attacks. U. S. air. men were using a new 6K-inch tank-killed rocket that had been rushed into production only four weeks ago.

Employees Benefit From Will Of Capt. Austin E.. Lathrop

FAIRBANKS, (P) - Fifty-two. relatives, employees, business as- sociates and hospital and educa- tional organizations were named residuary beneficiaries in the es- tate of Capt. Austin E. Lathrop, pioneer businessman killed in an accident July 26.
 Petition for probate said merely that the estate was valued Gin ex- cess of $5OO,OOO." Outside sources have estimated the estate might run from three to four million.
 The will provided that Lath- rop's vast interests continue to op- crate under trusteeship known as 'Lathrop Trust" for five years after the residue of the estate was distributed to trustees by the ex- ecutors.
 Lathrop left two types of be- A0OSIS-SooI1 olAu StOCh HI LdIIAOp Company. Requests of stock, value as estimated, ranged from five to 200 shares.
 Among the larger bequests in stock were 200 shares to MT. and Mrs. Austin c. Cooley, New York, nephew; 175 to Zoe Cooley Green, Kent, Wash, niece; 15O to Mrs. Cleo Boyce, Seattle, stepdaughter; 233 to MT. and Mrs. Frank Eugene Richards, Klamath Falls, Ore, nephew; and 15O each to Miss Miriam Dickey, Fairbanks, secre- tary to the Lathrop Company; Sydney C. Raynor, Anchorage, and Harry J. Hill, Anchorage.
 The will provided the directors of the Lathrop Company to make an annual donation of $1OO at Christmas time to the Pioneers Home at Sitka. Otherwise all Alaskan beneficiaries were in An chorage, Fairbanks and Cordova.

Greuning July IS, 1850.
 "Such an arrangement is clearly permissible under the federal air port act as long as the municipal ity assumes the existing obliga- tions of the Territory" Plett's let ter stated.
 This disclosure was aimed at Sen. Buffers "point four" charge of a "washout transaction in connection with the purchase.
 In the letter Plett explained the arrangedements as follows:
 On April II, 1850, the Territory paid the Palmer Airport Associa- ton, a non-profit, private organ ization, $15O,O00, and 13 days later the Association returned all but $5,OOO, which had gone to acquire land not previously owned by the Association. The association then released the land to the Territory, provided it hold an option to take back the airport on behalf of Pal mer if municipal corporation ever was formed.
 Dlett said the deal is an eligible project cost, whether construed as a purchase or gift, and he in closed an opinion of Frank R. Yates, acting comptroller general, supporting his statement.

TANKS SEEM GOOD ANYWHERE

eral MacArthur situated in Tokyo reports that of the casualties of the fighting Korea has been the he ory of tank country"
 There have been theories, held by various officers, that tanks could not operate in difficult terrain Never theless the Russianmade tanks being used by the Ko reans be able to negotiate muddy rice paddles as we'll as the steep rugged hills of Koreas central spine.
 In brief it might be good idea for military officers in general to drop their theories to what the enemy do with particular weapons and concentrate atten- tion the business of stopping the best that the enemy offer anywhere It is always mistake for strate- gsts to build their defense upon theory and the best evidence along this line is the French idea that the Maginot Line would contain the Germany Army.

ANCHORAGE, U-Four points raised in Congress Wednesday by Sen. Butler R.-Neb0 in connec- ton with the Palmer Airport As sociation were answered yester- day by George s. Schwamm.
 Schwamm, director of the Ter ritorial Aeronautical Commission, denied there was any scheme or "subterfuge" in connection with Palmer Airport land negotiations.
 Saying he was speaking for at torney Stanley McCutcheon, now in Seattle, Schwamm said the $5,628.42 paid him constituted le- gitimate attorneys fees for work on seven airports at remote loca- tions, including travel. He said McCutcheon actually receiv e d $1 500 for the Palmer transaction.
 He termed Buffers implication of personal profit through Me Cutcheon's banking connections as "horsefeathers."
 Schwamm noted that an investi- gation sought by Territorial Rep. Marcus Jensen had no jurisdiction at Juneau, and pointed out Jen- sen did not extend the "smear" to Anchorage, wheer the U. s. attor- ney does have jurisdiction to hold an investigation.
 The airport program director declared Butler was in error in quoting price of $43 per acre by referring to documents purported- ly showing Schwamm quoted $1 ,OOO per acre by Miss Hill late last April, and $500 for the first six acres, plus an additional con- stantly accelerating price of $25O per acre by Harold Thuma in Au- gust, 1949.
 Schwamm produced letters from Jack E. Maze of the Matanuska Valley Bank; M. D. Snodgrass, major landholder, and James Hur- ley, manager of the Alaska Rural Rehabilitation Corp, all of which he said, listed estimates at above the price paid, ranging from $780, to $171, ,000 for the entire area.
 "It was a good, clean business like deal and there is nothing to hide," Schwamm said. "We made shortcuts but did nothing off-col- or, and as result will be able to dedicate the Palmer airport on Sept. g."
 Regarding a Butler charge that McCutcheon signed a voucher for Roland Snodgrass, secretary of the Palmer Airport Association, Schwamm said McCutcheon ob- tained permission by long distance telephone and documented transcript, properly witnessed, will prove the act was only one to gtt the papers in time to secure funds. ~
 Everything was done with fed eral approval and supervision, andS the McCutcheon bill is even now being further itemized to please the public," Schwamm said. "I repeat it's political 'digger-up- pers' who are fighting the work. The airport is now 90 per cent complete, and the CAA is pleased with our progress"
 Meanwhile it was disclosed that Walter Plett, CAA administrator for fho EioIofh par;op oo& on1x,

 The deal, he said, involved sale of the land to the Territory for $150, ,000, with a rebate of $145,000 to the Territory.
