Drop Of Eight Pct.
In Old Age Relief
Decrease OF 139 Cases For State
Is Reported For Fiscal Year

The number Of persons receiving
old age assistance grants through
the Old Age Welfare Commission
declined eight per cent during the
fiscal year ended last June 30, it
was revealed last Saturday in the
agency's annual report.
At the beginning of the fiscal
year, the agency had 1921 cases.
while at the end OF the year there
were 1852, a decrease of 1S9.
The report points out that many
cases were dropped because the in
crease in federal old age benefits
of the social security system last
October made them ineligible to re-
ceive the state grant.
Persons receiving old age assist
ance under the state program
which is partially financed BY fed
eral funds-must be 65 years of
age or older.

Festive Ideas for February's Holidays
BY Violet Faulkner

l. month, but It's crammed
with important holidays-the
birthdays of two great Amer
leans and st. Valentines Day,
when we 60 all-out for
romance.
Plan a children's party for
Lincoln's Birthday. The kids

make these cute log cabins for
them. They're so simple to
make-a few minutes work
and you're ready for the
young guests.
Log Cabins: Whip " pint
heavy whipping cream with
4 tablespoons sugar. Fold in
4 teaspoons grated orange
peel, 4 teaspoons grated lemon
peel and 4 teaspoons fresh
lemon Juice. Spread this
mixture between graham
crackers. Sprinkle chopped
dates over each layer. Use 4
crackers for each log cabin.
Frost sides with whipped
cream mixture and store in
refrigerator for an hour or
two. When ready to serve,
use % OF a plain graham
cracker for each side of the
cabin roof. Trim plates with
flags held by large gumdrops
and a handful of small gum
drops. For an added attrac-
ton, cut the top off a lemon
and place porous-centered
candystick in the middle.
Have one of these for each
child and you'l hear screams

Red China 'Eyiles' prIesi 10 U. S. Aites Cruel Trial

ROSWELL, NM. Nov. 28-tP-A Catholic priest, sentenced to exile in the United States last June by Red China, is recuperating here.
 After his three-hour trial early last summer, Father Leon Sullivan tall Irishman from Detroit, said he expected bullet in the back of his head.
 Instead he was condemned to exile in the good old U.S.A.!" he exclaimed. T couldn't believe my ears!D
 Father Sullivan said he was charged with five murders, 20 rapes, espionage and "counter-revolutio ary activities"
 Two Witnesses" beat him while charging him with various murders.
 "The people there all knew the truth, but the truth didn't matter" ]" he said. Finally the trial ended, and they had to drag me off the platform"
 Then the Communist leader pulled prepared document from his pocket and started reading. Sulli- van recalls it like this:
 ''The priest Sullivan, is an i'm perialist who uses religion as cloak for counter-revolutionary ac- tivities and espionage for imperial ist America, is condemned to per- petual exile as an enemy of the people, .

nished aid and comfort to the enemy"
 Willoughby also cited Time, News week, and U. s. News and World Report for "inferential, if not calcu- lated deception of the public"
 He called the newspapermen:
 "Thesc. ragpickers of modern lit erature. careless chroniclers. . jittery experts. journalistic sooth- savers. the tickle press. the panting eagerness of sidewalk huckster and thc unctuous concern of an undegtaker."
The Daily Alaska empire., 1951-11-28
Accusations Centercd

Willoughby's accusations center el mainly, around two points:
 l. That the correspondents had "telittled7 the Eighth Army, and, 2. that they erroneously described last years withdrawal, under Chin csc attack, as a defeat" magnify ing its proportions, criticizing army intelligence, and eXaggerating the casualty figures.
 On a CBS television program last night Willoughby declared he did not "ascribe a deliberate intent on the part of these reporters
 "They merely reported what they believed unquestionabIy was the impact of what they saw" Willoughby said on the teIevision program. However, they have a responsibility to the public and to the reputation of the Sth Army"
 In their replies, the correspondents denied having criticized the army as such, or the individual soldiers They said they had criticized Mac Arthur, for his overall decisions and Willoughby for his intelligence reports, on which MacArthur ap- parently based his strategy in Kor- ca.
 As an example of the "belittle- ing" of the army, Willoughby quoted extensively from an article by Baldwin. It compared Ameri- can generalship, troops and equip ment with those of other coun-
The Daily Alaska empire., 1951-11-28
Written Before War

Baldwin said the article was writ ten before the Korean fighting be- gan. He said it was prepared early in tha spring of 1850, but was not published until after the war start ed. He added:
 "As an intelligence officer, Gen Willoughby was widely and justly criticized by Pentagon officials as well as in the papers. His present article is as misleading and inac- curate as were some of his intelli- gence reports"
 Bigart, cabling from Paris, said his criticisms had been directed against Macarthur and Willoughby not the army as such. He replied:
 General MacArthur and his tight little circle of advisers have
 never been able to stomach criti-
 cism, whether from a war corres-
 pondent or the President of the
 United States. .'
 Boyle said American intelligence in Korea, for which Willoughby was responsible, was "tragically bad. He said:
 "The generals job was to obtain information about the Chinese and to evaluate it. I thought then and fstill think, that our intelligence was tragically bad. Gen. Willough- by, naturally, feels otherwise. In this case, the events give the answer the troops ran into a complete surprise, and were decisively beaten back. Generalities about bias and prejudice cannot outweigh the hard facts of defeat and the cold statistics of losses. It was not bias and prejudice that rolled the army back across thousands of square miles of lost ground"
 Executives of the two magazines said they had no comment.
