Prisoner Of War
Lists Bring New
Strife In Truce
Allies Complain
That Red Total
of 900 Prisoners
IL Too Small
WASHINGTON. Dec. l9

WASHINGTON, Dee. ~
-(AP)-ihe exchange of
prisoner of war lists by the
Allies and the Communists
has brought new strife 10
the Korean arnlistice nego-
iiations.
The Reds have complain
ed that The Allied list of
more than 1924 900 Chin
csc and North Koreans is
useless because it's written
in phonetic English.
The Allies, for their part
have complained that the
Red total of ii ZOO pris.
oners, including 3, 100
Americans, is too small.
Bun the truce negotiatOrs
have made no formal pro-
test on these matters.
The delegates dealing with the
prisoner of war issue did not meet
today Meantime, U.N. delegates
attending sessions on how to police
an armistice have told the Reds
this: The allies will not bulge one
inch on this problem until the Reds
agree TO rotation OF troops and be-
hind the lines inspection to guard
against sneak military buiidup.
For thousands of Americans,
meanwhile, the Defense Depart
ment in Washington is the center
Of attention. Streaming from the
pentagon are scores of kilograms
notifying anxious relatives that
their kin are on Red prisoners
lists.
While this is the best Christmas
present year for anxious thousands,
the Defense Department has this
caution: the names have been list
ed by the Reds and there is no
way TO verify the accuracy Of the
list The Communists never have
permitted international Red Cross

In the early Juveniles" many
Southern nurseries were using the
advertising slogan "plant a few
pecan trees to support yourself in
your old age" Perhaps I should
have paid heed to that advice. AL
though the slogan was somewhat
misleading the fact remains that a
number of cases have been report
ed in this State where a few pecan
trees in the farm yard have paid
the taxes on the farm.
In addition to the crop of nuts
produced, the pecan is a beautiful
tree and is as valuable for shade
as any of our deciduous trees. For
eastern North Carolina we recon-
mend the Stuart, Cape Fear, and
Brake varieties. For the Piedmont
the Stuart is probably best and in
the mountains only northern va
rieties such as Indiana or Green
River should be planted.
There is no advantage in getting
large trees. A 5 to 6 foot tree is

should be set slightly deeper than
they were in the nursery and
should be at least so feet apart

in a tub of water or cover them

TIMBER OWNERS URGED
TO FIGHT PINE BEETLE

The Southern pine beetle, a real
threat to pine timber in eastern
North Carolina, has been tempo
rarily stopped in its tracks.
Although the beetle has caused
extensive damage to at least 1000
acres of pine timber in 10 coun-
ties, recent rains along the coast
and control measures by many
landowners have checked the in
sect's activities.
However, John E. Ford, assist
ant extension forester at State
College, warns that the pine beet
lie, like other insect pests, never
knows when it is licked and has
not yet given up the fight.
It's very possible, he says, that
if the beetles now found in the
trees are not destroyed through
the winter, enough beetles may be
present next spring to start a
stable epidemic-especially if the
weather is dry next spring.
Ford says the beetles probably
will remain in the trees where
they are until spring. This period
of inactivity is an excellent time
for any landowner who has patch
es of recently killed pines to de-
stroy the brood trees with the
beetles in them.
Since the pest works between
the wood and the bark and just
inside the bark, destruction of the
bark will kill the insect. This can
be accomplished, says Ford, by
peeling the bark off and burning
it.
If infested trees are large
enough for sawtimber, they can
be worked up into lumber, and the
slabs should then be burned. In
the woods all laps" and tops of
trees over two inches in diameter
should also be piled and burned.
Counties affected by the beetle
include Carteret, Craven, Pamlico,
Beaufort, Hyde, Washington, Ber-
tie, Martin, Pitt, and Nash.
