, ficers, after q twoIweek recess
tomorrow reopen off-the-record
talks on how to exchange prison
ers of the Korean War.
There was no indication whether
a break was imminent in the long
deadlock over the allied demand
for voluntary repatriation.
Some observers, however, indi-
Gated a compromise formula was
in the works. Both sides were be-
lieved to have spent the past two
weeks overhauling prisoner rosters
and bringing them up to date,
The u. N. Command said it was
ready for another try to break the
deadlock. The Communists had
pressed twice for speedy resump-
ton of the secret talks.

IL am. 70 pm. EST Friday. The
negotiations We're recessed April
to allow both sides to explore
possible new solutions.
The agreement to resume pris-
oner exchange talks came during
a short mo progress" session of
the subcommittee on truce super
vision.
The meeting lasted eight min
utes and 25 seconds-mor than
the total of the previous seven
sessions. But Maj. Gen. William
K. Harrison said no headway was
made toward breaking the two
way deadlock over Red nomina-
tion of Russia as a neutral truce
Inspector and allied objections to
the rebuilding of the North

Observers have predicted an
agreement on these two issues
would come only after the prisoner
deadlock is broken.
The Reds have insisted on the
return of all prisoners when an
armistice is signed. The u. N.
command has said it will send no
one back against his will.

Desperate Need for Blood
IMPRESSED on Donors Here

The Importance of donating
blood and the dire need for more
local donors, was brought home
to Madison County Wednesday
when county hospitalized
patient suffering with a rare
blood disease badly needed trans
fusions.
Donations of blood from the
county are taken TO the Columbus
bank and are free to residents.
But when the request was made
this week, the supply from Madi-
son county was said to have
been practically exhausted.
London residents can help
remedy this situation when the
mobile unit comes to First Pres
byterian Church Monday, April
21 Hours for receiving donors
will be between 10 am and
q pm.
Add to this great need In the
county and elsewhere in the area,
the constant plea for whole blood
for wounded servicemen in Korea
where 100000 pints are required
each month, and it Is understand
able why there is such great de-
mand each time the unit comes to
the county," said Judge Maurice f.
Beathard, blood Program chair
man for the county Red Cross. a..'
So far, only few have regist.
cred for Mondays visit of the
unit, according to Miss Ruth E
Armstrong, recruitment chairman.
IF we could only have another
response like that of December
when 126 pints were received, 1t
would be wonderful accomplish
ment. Wen have to hurry if we
do it. We're hoping that there
will be many watkins (those who
go without an appointrnent) but
we're also hoping that by Sunday
residents of London and vicinity
will feel it a privilege to register
with US" Miss Armstrong said.
In commenting on the import
ance of donating, General Mat
thew B. Ridgway of the Far
Eastern Comm and says, Tn
modern warfare the value of
blood is comparable to ammuni-
ton, fuel food and other irnple-
ments of battle. without blood
the saving of many lives would
be impossible" l
But don't forget too the
wonderful benefit it is to the
folks at home when illness over
takes them; a pint of blood is
often the means of saving a local
life or speeding recovery" said
chairman Beathard. 49,
Register now. A call to 1457
M-3 or SO the local Red Cross
office will help immensely with
our present dilemma of not know
ing how many are planning 10
come Monday. We can't let the
men in the service down; neither
do we want another one of oar
own people let down for lack of
blood in the bank" he said. a|a
