 Holding of LIN Prisoners for BIackmai|, Ransom
By o. H. P. KING

MUNSAN, Korea, Dec. 10-lR- The United Nations command today demanded an answer tomorrow from the Communists on the Allied pro- posal to start immediate negotia- tions for exchange of prisoners of war in Korea. There was no indica- tion what the Red reply will be. The Reds have stood pat on their de- mand that the LIN answer their proposal for behind the-lines in- spection by representatives of neu- tral nations before discussing pri- soners.
 LIN negotiators said the matter still is under study.
 From Tokyo, the United Nations radio Monday night lambasted the Communists in one of the bit terest attacks from an Allied source. It accused the Reds of holding LIN prisoners for black mail and ransom to win their point on the question of policing an armistice.
 The Allies in effect told the Con- munists at Panmunjom Monday to quit stalling on the prisoner issue
 They told the Reds that an Allied liaison officer will be in Panmun- jom at 10:30 am. Tuseday 5:3C PSF Monday) for their answer.
 And a one-man LIN subcommittee will be ready to start negotiations for the exchange of prisoners 2la hours later.
 Joint subcommittees working or arrangements for enforcing a truce met only Al minutes Monday. They quit as far apart as ever but sched- uied another session for Il a.m Tuesday (6 pm. PSF Monday.
 Excerpts from the LIN radio broadcast were distributed to cor respondents in Tokyo by Gen. Mat thew B. Ridgway's headquarters 1T a bulletin labeled mot an officia release"
 The broadcast declared that the Communists have made hostages of all UN prisoners still alive in Rec camps" by their apparent refusal to talk about exchanging prisoners unless the LIN gives in to their de- mands for policing the truce.

Drunken 'DiIoi'
 Didn't Even Have Drivers License

DALLAS, Ga, Dec 10-IR-'He' s got us stumped," said Police Chief Lottie Smith, referring to the flier he arrested for drunkenness after a plane crash yesterday.
 He missed the airport by nearly two miles, Smith related "As a matter of fact, he was so drunk he didn't even know we had an air port"
 The chief said the fliers name is Bob Cabaniss and he cracked up a small plane in plowed field half a mile from the Pauling County court house and just beyond residential area.
 He had a gash on his forehead it took two stitches to close. but he wasn't complaining of pain, Smith continued.
 We aren't sure where he's from He told me he was from Atlanta He told the sheriff he was from Macon, Ga. He told the state patrol he was from somewhere else. In all, think he's given about 16 diff ferent home towns"
 Did he have a pilots license?
 Nope" replied Smith, The didn't nave a pilots license. He didn't even have drivers license"
 No liquor bottles were found in the wreckage.
 Smith said the plane flew low over town = it just missed some rooftops" and crashed about 100 yards from the nearest house. The plane did not appear to be in any trouble, he added.

Demo Chairman
 And Friend Each Make Fast S6S,0OO

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10-- R - Frank Mckinney, Democratic Ma tional Chairman, said today he and Frank M. McHale, his close politi- cal friend, each made a fast $68,OOO profit on investments of $l,00O apiece made in 1946.
 Mckinney told news confer ence mo political influence or im- propriety were involved"
 Angrily he charged that news paper headlines describing the pro- fit were so pllrased they might make his children think then father was a damn crook"
 Records of a bankruptcy proceed ings in Philadelphia give McKin- ney's profit as $74.o00 on the $l,ooO invested in common stock of the Empire Tractor Corp, of Phila- delphia, hut Mckinney said that figure is inaccurate"
 "Is it criminal, is it unlawful for a Democratic Chairman to hold business interests?" Mckinney de- manded at the news conference.
 If some people had their way you would have to go to some abbey and choose a monk to head the party"

CaudIe Knew 
 Fix Shakedown

WASHINGTON, Dec 10 - lR = T. Lamar Caudle acknowledged to- day that he heard last August of an alleged attempted tax fix shake down of Abraham Teitel- baum. He said he called Frank Nat han on the telephone and bawled him out for "bandying" his name.
 House tax investigators recessed for luncheon without developing whether Caudle, then an assistant attorney general, took any further action than the telephone call after he got wind of the sensational story leitelbaum told publicly last Tues day.
 Teitelbaum, a Chicago lawyer who in times past has represented Al Capone, testified that Nathan and Bert K. Master sought $500,O00 froH him last April under threat he would have tax troubles"
 And he said they told him there was a clique" in Washington in- cluding Caudle, which looked for soft touches"
 All those named promptly branded Teitelbaum's story as false - Nat han under oath in the witness chair of the House Ways and Means subcommittee Investigating tax ir- regularities.
 Today, the committee called I. T. Cohen, an Atlanta tax attorney, as it's first witness.
 Cohen said Teitelbaum told him of the alleged attempted extortion, and that he passed it on to Caudle. who was friend of his, on Aug. 20.
 He said he gave Caudle such de- tails as Teitelbaum's account of getting a mysterious telephone call from man who, speaking in a gut teral voice with German accent, advised him to play along" with the tax fix.
 Cohen quoted Caudle as com- menting:
 That might be Grunewald. He is Dutchman."
 Henry Grunewald, will-of-the- wisp private Investigator here, is scheduled to be witness later in the hearings.

Fairbanks
 BIatked Out Seven Hours

FAIRBANKS, Alaska, Dec. 10- RN-A power failure blacked out Fairbanks for seven hours Friday night and shut off electricity -oper- ated heating systems in 45-below- zero weather.
 Many residents in homes with
 automatic coal st0kers or oil burn
 CTS stayed up all night stoking
 furnaces with wood chopped from
 boxes.
 Frank Mapleton, utilities. man. aeer, said an overloaded cable burn- led, cutting off the power supply from 9 pm. to am. Only build ing with private generating facil- ities had lights.
 Power was restored with a tenn porary circuit, but residents were asked to ration themselves until permanent repairs are made. Heating plants in many large
 apartment projects failed com
 pletely during the power blackout
 --or freezeout.
 One large. apartment house re- ported temperatures inside the building dropped to 20 degrees above zero. Another reported plumb ing froze indoors. Many residents reported temperatures down to 10 above inside the house after heat ing plants folded.
 Plumbers were flooded with calls to thaw inside water lines and plumbing.
 One lady living in an apart
 ment house telephOned the News
 Miner to report that her cosmct-
 ics on her dresser froze solid.
 The city was trying to rig up new cables. Meanwhile power was be- ing supplied to consumers on TO- tation system. Each district in the city took a 30-minute blackout at regular intervals so the peak load could be kept down on the tempor-
 system.

North Pole, Santa Plane Is Delayed

SEATTLE, Dec. Weather and engine trouble grounded an Alaska Airlines DC-4 early today, delaying the start of scheduled light to the North Pole with a real pole and a sack of letters for Santa.
 Alaska Airlines officials said, weather permitting, the plane would fly to Point Barrow, Alaska, de- parture point on the 2.600-mile polar flight, sometime today. The flight to the pole will be made to- morrow.
 The airliner was to have taken off from Paine Field north of here last night. When trouble develop ed in one engine, after an earlier delay due to weather, maintenance men held up the flight to get the four-engined ship in perfect shape for the hazardous 12-hour flight over the frozen Arctic wasteland.
 The especially -outfitted plane will carry 5000 letters to Santa collected hy North Pole Nellie" (Mrs. Au- dree Vance of Fairbanks, Alaska) from children throughout Alaska and the states. Mrs. Vance will make the trip as stewardess for the flight.
 The airliner's cargo also will in- clude Stan Garson's North Pole red and white striped steel cyl finder, who originated the idea of planting a real pole at the pole, probably won't make the trip. The airline said Civil Aeronautics Ad- ministration rules will permit only employees aboard during the polar flight.
 An Air Force navigator will ac- company the flight-the first by commercial airliner over the North Pole
 A special release hatch has been constructed in the planes tail to drop the pole and the sack of mail at the approximate site of the North fole.

 Leon had his father uncovered down to the knees when the walls caved in second time. Leon. spot ting another section of the wall about to give way, bracsd his back against the crumbling section. He remained there for seven hours.
