Off, f-the-RecOrd Talks
 Resume On Exchange Of Prisoners of War

MUNSAN, (P) - Allied n d Communist staff officers, after a two week recess, Saturday re- opened ff-the-record talks on how to exchange prisoners of the Korean war.
 There was no indication Whe- ther a break was imminent in the long deadlock over the Allied de- mand for voluntary repatriation.
 Some observers, however, indi- cated compromise formula was in the works. Both sides were be- lieved to have spent the past two weeks overhauling prisoner rost- CTS and bringing them up to date.
 The JUN. Command said it was ready for another try to break the deadlock. The Communists had pressed twice for speedy resump- tion of the secret talks.

SCHOOL NEWS
By OLAF HALvERSON

The acquiring of an education can be compared to the building of a large ship. If every member and section of a ship is built of the very best material and assem- bled in accordance with sound en- gineering science, you will have strong ship which can ply the oceans with very little danger of sinking.
 If an iceberg is struck when the ship is crossing the North Atlantic, perhaps only one com partment would be damaged and the well-built ship would sail on to it's destination.
 Likewise, if we build our ship of education of the very best mat erial, we will not sink when we meet obstacles in life. The mem- bers of our ship will be good training and study of our lessons in English, mathematics, history, science and other studies.
 Let us make good. use of our time by studying diligently.
 Forty years ago this week, the mightiest ship ever afloat, the Ti- tanic, was speeding across the At lantic, setting a new worlds rec ord. All of a sudden there was coolness in the air, followed by a big crash. The ship had struck an iceberg and was sinking.
 The orchestra changed from dance music to ''Nearer, My God, to Thee" until the waters en- gulfed them. Many lost their lives because the ship was not com posed of best material, nor was 1t constructed on the best prin- ciples of engineering science.
 The following students had per feet attendance during the last six weeks:
 Isaac Larsen, Donna Lyle, Jack Muller, Madeline Piscoya, Robert Summers, and Milton Willoya.
 Students in the play are re- hearsing morning and evening with intensive effort. The stage boys are busy preparing elaborate properties to be used in the play.

In Requests to Congressional Leaders

In the request for funds to
Speaker Rayburn. Mr.. Truman
explained that the program is
based on studies made by spe-
cial committee of the National
Security Council.
The new facilities, which will
provide greater capacity for the
production of fashionable materi-
ais and for the fabrication of
such materials into atomic weap-
ons, will strengthen our atomic
energy program over and above
the expanded program initiated
during the course of the past two
weeks" the President said.
$4.2 Billion Outlay Estimated.
Mr.. Truman said the total cost
Of new facilities required, includ-
ing those to be constructed by
iva for power generation and
transmission, is estimated at ap-
proximately $4.2 billion for a pc
riod of five years.
Mr.. Truman repeated that the
United States is ready to join in
any effective plan for control of
atomic energy and prohibition of
atomic weapons. But in the abb
sence of an agreement, he urged
the new expansion be undertaken
promptly.
In his letter to Senator May
bank, the President urged the
necessity for speed.
"The manpower, power and con-
struction materials required for
the new facilities can be made
available without unduly adverse
effects on the rest Of. the defense
program or on our economy gen.

Senate Unit Votes 6-]
To LEI RFC Continue
By the Associated Pres.

The Senate Banking Committee
voted, 6 to 3, today to keep the
Reconstruction Finance Corp. in
business as the Governments chief
lending agency. But it decided
to write number of reforms in
the law setting up the RFC.
Earlier this year. the Senate
had voted to abolish the agency,
but it reconsidered and sent the
question back to the Banking
Committee for more study.
The Senate had substituted the
end-RFC proposal for a reform
bill sponsored by Senator Full
bright, Democrat, of Arkansas.
The Banking Committee today re-
instated Senator Fulbright's re-
form proposal and sent that meas
ure to the Senate floor.
Friends of the reform plan con-
cede that prospects are not too
bright that the reform measures
win be brought to q Senate vote
again. For one thing, they are
wary of another attempt to sub
|stitute an abolition measure on

the Atomic Energy Commission
and the Tennessee Valley Au-
thority to begin a major further
expansion" of the atomic pro-
duction facilities.
In a letter to House Speaker
Rayburn, the President said the
expansion had been under con-
sideration for some time, and
added:
"It is made necessary by the
fact that the Soviet Union has
shown no disposition to cooperate
in an international program for
control and regulation of arma-
ments and, in the absence of ef-
fective international control of
atomic energy. the national
security and the security of the
free world demand that we main
tain and increase our leadership
in this field"
Concurrently, the President
wrote Senator Maybank. Demo-
crat, of South Carolina, chair
man of a Senate subcommittee on
appropriations, stressing that
this Government must and can
expand the atomic energy pro-

being contradicted by his brother

the inspector said he received the
money from policeman who died
last December. He said his wife
helped him refresh his memory
overnight.
Inspector Beach stated yester-
day that he received the money
from j. Mahlon Selby, his BROTH
er-in-law. Mr.. Selby was sum-
moned Immediately by the COM
mittee and denied the statement.
Money Paid on Loan.
Today Inspector Beach testified
the $1,000 was received from the
late Sergt. Ernest F. Wycroff. who
was attached to the 7th precinct
while Inspector Beach was its
captain.
MIR. Wycroff paid the money on
an unsecured loan for an auto
mobile. the inspector testified
today.
"You have no corroboration for
that" said Senator Welker, Re-
publican. of Idaho. your wit
ness is dead man with sealed
lips"
The Senators were still angered
today by the disappearance of
former Police Chief Robert j.
Barrett-whom they sought to-
question yesterday-and a success
sion of disclosures about unex-
planned financial deals by high
ranking policemen.
Although no further crime hear
ings are scheduled, the commit
tee still will try to question Mr..
Barrett about his unexplained
financial transactions, according
to Chairman Nicely. An account
ant testified yesterday that in the
33 months ending last September
80 the former chief spent about
$17.400 more than acknowledged
income.
The committees life runs until

GUS loans and investments over a

He could not recall, however, from

A spokesman said guards were
changing places in a high watch
tower when the accident occurred.
The Reds began parading this
afternoon in the compound, where
2,700 officers and $50 enlisted or
derlieS are held.
At least 100 United States and
British infantrymen entered the
enclosure shortly after on orders
of Col. Harold Taylor. deputy
commander of the United Ma
tons Koje Island prison camp.
(Col Taylor's home is at

They broke up the demonstra-
ton with tear gas bombs and
drove the Reds into the center of
the compound. Then they syste-
matically ripped apart the two
metal shacks serving as the POWs'
command post and dispensary.
The Reds apparently staged the
disturbance in an attempt to force
Brig. Gen. Hayden L. Boatner,
camp commander, to visit the
compound and confer with them, a
camp spokesman said.
The spokesman added that Gen.
Boatner received "a long, abusive,
demanding letter" from
the compound leader two days
ago.
The general never answered it
because the letter violated his
rules that messages to him from
POWs must be "brief, courteous
and to the point"
General Watches From Distance.
Gen. Boatner also refused to
go to the compound gate during
the disturbance. But. from dis
tance, he watched his United
Nations soldiers break it up. After
a short period Of watching he re-
turned to his quarters to interview
officers and to prepare q statement
on the incident.
u. N. officers said they expect
more such incidents before they
begin moving POWs to new,
compounds next Wednes-
day.
