Dead" Woman Comes To Life In Seattle MOrtuary

SEATTLE, (P)-A change in a vital statistic file revealed late yesterday that a Seattle woman lived four days after she was pronounced dead and taken to a funeral home Monday.
 The spark of life in the body of Mrs. Ida Schmidt, 60-year-old widow, was noted by an attendant at the Greenlake Funeral Home four hours after a physician had pronounced her dead and her body had been taken to the mor- tuary.
 A faint movement of the jaw tipped the attendant to the Wom- ans condition and she was re- moved to a hospital. She was kept alive until yesterday afternoon when hospital attendants said she succumbed to the cerebral hem orrhage which plunged her into a coma early Monday.
 Her death was recorded with the coroner Monday but the file was later removed, bringing the case to light.
 Chief Deputy Coroner C. l.. Harris said the file was removed because "the only time we record death is when there is a death. We changed the record when we received the report she was alive"

Legion Commander Says Communist MasSacres
 Prove U. $. Is At War

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, (P) = The commander of the American Legion Department of Alaska said Wednesday he was appalled, by the news of Communist massacres of United States troops in Korea.
 "Such actions," said John H.. Van Horn of Sitka, Alaska, prove that the United States is at war and not engaged in a police |ac- ton. The enemy is ruthless and uncompromising. The news bears out the need for military control rather than the State Department rule of warfare.

Truman Insists On Fair Deal Program On 1852 Platform

KEY WEST, Fla, (40 - PreSi- dent Truman plans to fight for his entire Fair DeaP program - civil rights proposals and all - both within his own Democratic party as well as against his Re publican opponents.
 And regardless of who runs for President on the Democratic tick ct, whether it's MT. Truman him self or someone else, the chief ex- ecutive made it crystal clear yesterday that he has no thought of giving up control of the Demo- cratic party.
 Four years ago the President lost four southern states by his firm adherence to these sharply controversial civil rights pro- posalS.
 His inSistence yesterday that his Fair DeaP' program be in corporated into his party'S plat form for the 1852 race shaped up as an obvious challenge to such leaders of the anti-Truman forces as Gov. James F. Byrnes of South Carolina and Senator Byrd D-Va).
 Byrd, a stalwart in the south's opposition to the civil rights pro- gram, declared that inclusion of this program in the platform the Democrats will take into the pre- sidential campaign will mean a hard fight within the party.

Korean Atrocities Catch Military By Surprise

TOKYO, (P)- American front line troops in Korea were told today the Reds have slaughtered $500 of their captured buddies.
 The Armed Forces Radio broad cast for the first time the figures Col. James M. Hanley announced Wednesday ''so the GIs will know what they are up against"
 Hanley is the center of an army investigation because he announ- ced the totals. The colonel said he released them so front line troops wouldn't be fooled by Red pro- paganda.
 The Armed Forces Radio earlier was silent on the subject while the west of the world heard-and was shocked. The radio began beaming the story to the front this afternoon.
 Maj. Edgard L. Tidwell, chief of the Far East Network, ex- plained the delay: There were too many unknown quantities. When we could finally pin things down, we let it go."
 The announcement caught the military by surprise - from the US. Eighth Army in Korea to the Pentagon in Washington.
 South Korean government of ficials said today there was no- thing new in the atrocity figures.
 The rest of the world didn't ac- cept the announcement so matter of-factly.
 Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway, su- preme Allied commander, sent his press information officer to Ko- req to investigate the details of the disclosure, and the figures themselves.
 In Washington, U. s. senators said they were puzzled that top military and government officials expressed surprise over the re- port.
