But rebellion already Is stirring

for some of the 21 countries to in
crease their contribution to the
pool of armed forces and supplies.
Inside sources have reported
the committee called on eight of
the IL Allied nations to hike their
military spending. The biggest
increase, of more than so per cent,
was demanded by Belgium, and
the Belgians are stubbornly re-
sisting.
Lists Objectives.
Mr.. Hartman listed these six
objectives to streamline and boil

U. 5. Ready for Task
OF Informing P0Ws'

BY the Associated Press

The military in Korea, Tokyo
and Washington is ready to be-
gin the gigantic, intricate task o1
: advising kinfolk of the names Of
3,198 Americans reported held
prisoner by the Communists. The
first official notifications may &C

Many families will be cheered
by word that their Soldier-sons

hands. But still greater num-
ber are in for grief and disap-
pointment.

munists is little more than one
fourth of 11,042 Americans re-
ported missing in Korea.
The Army in Korea arranged to
fly the prisoner list to Tokyo,
where it will be distributed to
newsmen and relayed on to the
Pentagon in Washington.
That list will contain only the
names, rank. serial numbers and
unit designations. 1t will have to
be matched in Washington against
the roster of the missing to obtain
home town addresses.
That procedure will take hours,
possibly days. But as quickly as
possible after notifying next of
kin. the Pentagon hopes to make
public its list. Normally, the
Pentagon waits about "a hours
after notifying kinfolk before re-
leasing casualty reports.
The Associated Press plans to
carry on its wires both the un-
official list as supplied by the
Communists and later-as soon as
they become available-the names
and addresses as released by the
Pentagon.

OF Pappy Noel may be coming
home from the wars.
A Communist newsman said al

old Associated Press photographer
was on the Reds list of prisoners
Pappy, formally known as
Frank, was captured by Chinese
Reds near the Chongjin Reservoir
in northeast Korea. December 2
1850.
Reports trickled out of Red ter
ritory from time to time that the
Pulitzer Prize winner of 1943 was
well.
Noel was captured. a colleague
said, because "his heart was toe
big"
He was supposed to have gone
back to Tokyo for a rest. But
Noel said, or Pappy is going te
stay here. / feel better with the
kids up at the front"
In Plenty of Action.
Pappy was with the United
States 1st Marine Division when
the Chinese Communists entered
the Korean war.
He was right there when the
Reds swooped down from the
north and the Marines withdrew
to the Hungnam beachhead.
He was with convoy of Ma
rines trying to reach an Isolated
regiment when the Communists
pulled an ambush.
First reports were sketchy. but
they indicated Pappy was not
hurt. Two marines who were with
him but later escaped said "he
just sat and knelt in the frozen
ditch besides the road and snapped
pictures whenever he could. Frank
Noel would make one hell OF a
marine"
Nearly six months later 19
American prisoners escaped from
the Reds. They said they had
seen Noel two months before, and
that he was all right.
He walked with a slight limp.
they said. The Reds had marched
him so miles in freezing weather.
When his feet nearly froze, he was
allowed to finish the trip in an
oxcart.
Reported in Good Health.
On July 18 a Chinese news
paperman at Kaesong. original site
of the cease fire talks, said he
had seen Noel two months pre-
viously. He said he was well and
healthy in a prison camp some
where in Korea"
Only a week ago, Red cores

Actual USDA grasshopper re-
search testing on the new chemical
last year was done on some $4,000
acres of test plots in Montana, Wyo-
ming and Arizona. Forty-acre test
plots totaling 1,400 acres were
checked near Broadus in Carter
county. Some 5000 additional acres
of range land were sprayed in Mon
tana and Wyoming with plots vary
ing from 240 to 1000 acres in size.
In both of these tests, the hopper
population count was reduced to less
than l per square yard regardless
of the severity of infestation before
spraying.
Equally good results were OBJ
tanned on a 40,600-acre test area in
Arizona with aldrin spraying at the
same basic rate of 2 ounces in l gall
lon of oil per acre. To mention spe-
cific checks, at of IL stations in
the area where detailed counting
was OOllS, tllS average Kill Was 81
percent in "a hours. Within days,
SO percent of the hoppers were dead
and in days, SO percent. These five
stations were on level terrain and
while the kill was lesser in rougher
areas where the planes flew higher,
the kills were still good.
AS a result of this extensive test
ing both by farmers and ranchers
themselves and the USDA, all state
leaders meeting at the 1850 grass
hopper control conference in Den
yer in December agreed to recon-
mend aldrin for use in 1851. Chlor-
