Truman Says U. n.
Cant Send Red P0Ws
Back 10 Sure Death

President Truman has empha-
sized that the United Nations cam
not forcibly return to slavery and
almost certain death at the hands
of the Communists" the prisoners
captured in the Korean war.
He gave fresh backing to the
stand taken by the United Nations
negotiators in truce talks in Korea
the big snag to an armistice-
by releasing an exchange of let
ters with Capt. Charles G. Ewing,
an American intelligence officer.
Capt. Ewing. a former newspa-
Iperman, wrote the President that
he had talked with many prisoners
who would rather die than live
under communism again"
In reply, Mr.. Truman said:
II read with great interest your
observations on. your interviews
with prisoners Of war in Korea.
Your conversations with those
men who prefer death to life
under a Communist regime point
up vividly the compelling humani-
tartan and moral reasons for the
stand which the United Nations
negotiatorS have taken on the
repatriation question. We must
not use bayonets to force these
prisoners to return to slavery and
almost certain death at the hands
of the Communists.
'You soldiers in Korea can also
well appreciate the fact that be-
hind the Iron Curtain there are
millions of people who yearn
desperately to ragain their lost
freedom and sense Of dignity.
These people look to the free
world as their only hope to
achieve this goal. This fact ap-
plies with special force to those
hundreds of thousands Of Chinese
and North Koreans who have
been impressed into the Com
munist armies and forced to face
suffering and death to further
the brutal ends Of aggression. 4"

Mine Holiday Assai|ed
|As Coal Talks Resume
BY the Asseeioted Press

NEW YORK. Aug. 21.-Spokes-
men for the hard coal industry
and $4,000 miners went back into
session today-with no sign that
any early agreement would be
reached for a new contract start
ing October /.
The absence of United Mine
Workers Chief John L. Lewis from
the talks indicated that the heart
Iof a new contract-a wage in
crease-was not likely to be
touched.
Reports continued that. the
talks may be adjourned today and
resumed in Washington in Sep
tember.
Mr.. Lewis has called out his
$4,000 hard coal miners and his
100000 soft coal miners for a
memorial period" from August
% to September 2. Because of the
week ends and the Labor Day
holiday the miners will be out of
work for five working days only.
The anthracite operators yes.
terday sent a letter to Mr.. Lewis
charging him with violation Of the
existing contract by calling his
men off the job in memory of
miners killed throughout the in
Idustry during the past year.
Mr.. Lewis notified both hard
and soft coal operators that the
current contracts would expire
September 80. In recent years the
hard coal contract has not been
signed until after a contract with
the soft coal operators has been
agreed too.
No specific demands have been
presented by the United Mine
Workers.
The average hourly wage for
anthracite workers is now $2.25.

time you go food shopping, take
time to look-really look-at the

Good advice. Now when we're
at the peak of the summer season
the choice Of vegetables is almost
unlimited. But how often have
you served your family a new
vegetable dish?
Tender ears of sweet corn. sun
ripened tomatoes, cucumbers ga
lore, green beans, okra, green
and yellow squash, cabbage, car
rots, beets, cauliflower, spinach,
broccoli the list goes on.
Variety in color, too, with tones
and hues ranging from the deli
cate pale green's of pattypan
squash to the deep purple of the
eggplant. So unleash your i'm
agination and make special
point of either trying out a vege-
table new to you or preparing an
old one in new way. Instead of
carrots and peas, try peas with
onions or leeks; team carrots
with green beans; tomatoes with
corn or with okra; zucchini with
ham and cheese. Try a plate of
antipasto using a combination of
vegetables that smacks of the
Italian tradition. The main thing
is avoid monotony.
