Play DIT
Hanna N0nday

Theatre goers of this vicinity
will have their first opportun-
ity to view a play by a dram
atist who, in a few short years,
has been internationally ac-
claimed and honored when
Christopher Fry's "a Sleep of
Prisoners" comes to the Hanna
Theatre for eight performances
starting Monday, January 28th,
after successful engagements in
New York, Washington, Phila-
delphia, Chicago, and else
where.
"A Sleep of Prisoners" Mr..
Fry's newest drama, was writ
ten for the Festival of Britain
and was judged the best play
presented during this celebra-
ton.
The story of "a Sleep of
Prisoners" was inspired by the
imprisonment in 1649 of six
rebels against Oliver Cromwell
in an Oxford church near Mr..
Fry's country cottage. The play
treats of four prisoners con-
fined in a church. During the
passing of a night their dreams
are expressed in four Biblical
allegories, which show their
own and mankind's, willing
submission to the counsef of
destruction. The episodes of
Cain and Abel, Abraham and
Isaac, David and Absalom, and
Shadrach, Meshack and Abed-
nego in the fiery furnace point

High Police Official Due
To Testify in Graft Case
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, May 12.-The de-
fense says it will call "a high po-
lice official" today to testify for
two policemen accused of shar-
ing in graft paid by boss Bookie
Harry Gross.
Counsel for the two accused
officers last night refused to dis
close the identity of their wit
ness, but it was reported he was
one of the police officials whom
Gross named as refusing to ac-
Icept graft.
Plans to call the witness were
announced by counsel for Capt
George M. Oest and Sergt. Wal
ter j. Sullivan, two of five de-
PENDANTS in a departmental trial
resuming today in Brooklyn.
The five, all of whom are re-
tiring from the force in the next
few days. face loss of pension
rights if found guilty of protect
ing the now defunct Gross gam
bling business, which reputedly
|netted $40 million a year. Thir-
teen other policemen face a de-
|partmental trial on similar
charges May 26.
Gross. SO. testified against the
five last week and also said he
made graft payments to more
than 100 policemen and depart
ment officials. He named a num-

rs and that the inclosure was
surrounded and secured within
20 minutes. Only minutes after
the actual seizure the Commun-
iSt prisoners were parading
around their compound, waving
banners obviously prepared in ad-
vance proclaiming the generals
capture.
Banners Still Displayed.
The banners were made from
rain ponchos sewed together and
were about IS feet long and 3
feet wide. The lettering was In
white. Several banners were still
hanging inside Compound 76 to-
day.
The prisoner camp apparently
was normal today. But the visit
OF newsmen almost caused some
disturbance. AS reporters gath
cred at the compound entrance
with Capt. Hunter, a spokesman
for the prisoners approached and
said he had something to say.
Camp officials Immediately told
him to stop talking and to go
inside.
you have nothing to say, Kim, +"
one American officer said angrily.
why not?" the white-shirted
kim said repeatedly.
Because you are q prisoner of
war"
Correspondents were asked by
the authorities to move away to
prevent any incident. AS they
complied, Kim and other prisoners
returned to the compound, waving
q petition. Other prisoners in
the center of the enclosure had
stopped playing soccer and had
gathered in ominous groups to
watch.
Camp officials were in control
outside the prisoner compound,
but it was obvious that the Com
munist prisoners were running
things to suit themselves inside.
No Talk of Punishment.
Col. Raven was asked why the
contraband articles had been re-
turned to the Reds the day before
Gen. Dodd's capture.
Merely to appease them and
prevent trouble" he said.
Another officer was asked
whether prisoners ever were pun
ished for infractions of camp rules.
"Punishment?". he asked. II
don't even want to talk about it,"
He said it was in direct viola
ton of prisoner of war tregula-
tions for POWs to raise their own
flags. But the North Korean ban
ners with the red circled star
were on many flag poles through
out U. N. POW Camp No. l.
Koje Island-today.
'"All the compounds we have
left are pretty rough" Capt.
Hunter said. He reported that be-
fore Gen. Dodd's capture, camp
personnel occasionally went into
the compounds but many times
we felt our lives were in danger
and we left"
He said other compounds in
the camp were about the same
as 76." Camp officials said that
most Of the 10000 prisoners now
on Koje have signif1ed they wish
to return to North Korea and
China if and when q Korean
truce Is reached.
Capt. Hunter said the 5000 men

and the circumstances surround
ing the negotiations and his ulti-
mate release" is under way.
He added that after Gen. Ridg-
way, his predecessor as Far East
commander. authorized the 9th
Army to use force to free Dodd
from Compound 76, Gen. James
A. Van Fleet. it's commander, "im-
mediateH began to mass the
necessary means" on Koje.
The necessary MEANS" appar-
|ently, were troops and tanks. A
correspondent who was on Koje
briefly Saturday saw 20 tanks
landed.
On Friday. Gen. Clark said,
Gen. Colson transmitted the fol-
lowing demand to the Reds for
Gen. Dodd's release:
l. You have treacherously
seized and are Illegally holding
Brig. Gen. Frank Dodd. Gen.
Dodd is no longer in command of
the U. N. POW enclosure, and
has no authority for any decisions
or actions. You are holding him
las any other u. N. soldier, and
his continued detention by you
will serve you no purpose what
lever.
20. You are directed to release
him by 1000 hours. 10 May. Go
pm. Saturday,. If this is not
done, all necessary, force will be
taken to effect his release, re-
gardless Of consequences to you.
"3. The entire Communist per-
sonnel of the compound will be
held fully accountable for any
harm whatever to Gen. Dodd."
Gen. Clark said the Communist
|POWs. observing the U. N. prep
|arations for enforcement of Gen.
Dodd's release, attempted to bring
matters speedily to q head" by
making their fouf-point demand.
THAT the allegations set forth
in the first demand of the Com
munist prisoners are wholly with
out foundation" Gen. Clark said,
'is indicated by the fact that the
prisoners subsequently agreed to
eliminate these allegations from
their original message. The base
less charges concerning germ war
fare already have been refuted
by my predecessor, and ! can
state unequivocally that the
United Nations has at no time
engaged in any such illegal type
OF warfare"

in 76 were supposed to be North
Koreans. But he expressed the
opinion that many Red officers
might have passed themselves off
as regular soldiers once they were
captured. Kim. the prisoner who
tried to approach correspondents,
was the leader of Compound IT.
Kim and several other represen-
tatives from other enclosures were
permitted to 60 into 76 after Gen.
Dodd was captured. Camp au-
thorities said the prisoners from
other compounds were refusing to
leave 76 unless their demands
were met.
Alexandrian Deputy to Dodd.
Camp officials would not say
what the demands were. At least
three Communist leaders from
other compounds have been in
troduced into rs. There were
strong indications there were
more, but camp officials would
not confirm or deny this. They
said there was II occupied COM
