POEM

Here is a poem written in fox
hole on Saipan, dedicated to all
men fighting for freedom every
where, and to their loved ones.
IN MEMORY
Through the stutter of the rifle
And the rumble of the guns
Through the screaming of the
bOmbers
AS they make their lethal runs;
Through debris and trash and
rubble,
Hate and pain and fear
Through each GOd-made, man
made trouble,
Yet one memory is clear.
Seems so long since we have seen
you,
Though our work is not yet done 4:
Chances are we'll never know you,
Till we sink the rising sun.
AS we enter fields of battle
FILLED with fury and regret.
We to loved ones toss the candle
Pray to God you won't forget.

CLARKSViLLE. Va.
TvHE MAIN STREET in this Southern
Il Virginia community of 1000 souls
drops rapidly away from town into the
Roanoke River Valley. 1t is valley
of peaceful green fields and rolling
hills, with the river meandering
placidly among them.
Three centuries ago, the section was
the hub of mighty Indian trading
area. The thrifty Occaneechees lived
in the fertile valley and other tribes
came from miles around to trade.
The scheme of things changed when
the white settlers arrived. 1t changed
still more when Clarksville was settled
and grew into one of the worlds leading
tobacco markets.
Later came the Civil War. It's world
trade ruined, the valleys economy
shifted to small-scale farming. Now
the way of life for many hereabouts
is about to change again. Within a
few months, the waters of huge man
made lake will cover much of the valley.
Now high and dry. this little town
will be surrounded on three sides by
water. 1t already has annexed 600
acres to make up for the a. per cent
of the present town area that will be
inundated. The shore line will be only
a scant 100 yards from the main busi-
ness intersection and half-mile away
the water will be SIS feet deep.

The lake, or reservoir, is part of a
gigantic geographical transformation
which is taking place throughout the
area as water is impounded behind the
new $85 million John H. Kerr Dam,
20 miles downstream.
When the lake is filled, water will
cover $4,000 acres at flood level in six
Virginia and North Carolina counties
At normal level, 1t will have a shore
line of roughly 800 miles through the
historic Virginia Piedmont region.
It is a project of the Army engineers.
It's purposes are to control floods, pro-
duce electric power, provide recreational

Sam B. Freeman, a director of the
Roanoke River Basin Association and
chairman of the County Zoning Board,
adds:
"The dam and reservoir should open
up a new scheme of things that will
bring us new life, ideas and business
without disturbing those whose farms
and homes will not be affected"
Not every one, however, is happy over
the situation. Some farmers were re-
luctant to give up land their forbears
had titled for generations. Others feel
the Government took too much tax
producing land. William G. Nowlin,
resident engineer at the dam, is sympa-
thetic, but says that in project OF
this size, some one is bound to get hurt"

Peiping Radio Lashes
Al Allied Brutality
On POW Exchange
BY the Associoted Press

TOKYO, Sunday, April 27.-
Peiping radio last night unleashed
q furious double-b barrel blast
against the Allied stand on the
prison exchange issue in armistice
negotiations.
It was packed with charges of
brutality Of "the American ag-
gressors" against Korean and Chi
neSe prisoners and emphasized
Communist insistence for the un-
conditional release of all POWs.
CamOuflage Charged.
The 15-paragraph Red propa-
ganda broadcast opened up with
the brutality charges.
"The American aggressors," it
said. "are brazenly claiming that
they are strictly observing the
Geneva convention relative to the
treatment of prisoners of war of
August IL, 1949. They are doing
this in order to camouflage their
absurd voluntary repatriation de-
mand and their persecution and
slaughter of the Korean and Chi
neSe prisoners in their custody
and in the hope Of throwing dust
in the eyes of the people through
out the world"
Geneva Violation Claimed.
The broadcast summed up the
adamant Red stand on the pris-
oner exchange issue thus:
THE only possible road to set
tlement on item four of the
agenda is for the American side
Immediately to give up their vol
untary repatriation absurdity,
which is in violation Of the Geneva
convention, and to adopt the fair
and reasonable proposals of the
Korean and Chinese side as the
basis for agreement. Otherwise
the American side must bear full
responsibility for the stalling or
even the wrecking of the armistice

Nine. Chang Quoted
As Saying Korea Truce
May |mperi| Formosa
By the Associated Press

CHICAGO. April 26.-The ma
tional commander of AMVETs
said tonight Nine. Chang Kai-
shek believes that any truce in
Korea will greatly increase the
danger to FormoSa and "other
weak spots"
John L. Smith said this was
brought out "very forcibly" in q
letter from Nine. Chang in which
she answered five questions he
had asked her. He said he was
revealing receipt of the letter and
its contents for the first time.
In an address prepared for the
Cook County AMVETS annual
commanders banquet. Mr.. Smith
quoted her as saying:
IF a cease-fire truce is con-
cluded in Korea along the present
battle line, I think the danger to
Formosa will be increased. Per-
sonally, I do not believe that the
Communists participation in the
truce talks is actuated by a genu-
inc desire for peace. If and when
a truce is signed, it does not
mean that they will desist from
aggression, they are likely to break
the truce and launch mightier Of
fensives in Korea and other weak
spots after they have made ade-
quate preparations.
"Or. If they refrain from en-
gaging in further hostilities on the
Korean front, they will in all
probability commit fresh acts of
aggression elsewhere, and an in
vasion of Foromsa will surely be
one of their possible objectives. "
In reply to another question,
Nine. Chang said the United
States should increase both
economic and military aid to the
