Pow Is Killed
In Camp Riots

PANMUNJoM R-Indian guards
killed one anti-Con;munist war
prisoner and wounded six others
to-day in breaking up screaming

mand said tonight.
An Indian spokesman acknowl.
edged that there Lad been a dis.
turbance and said some Indian
soldiers were hurt. The spokesman
said he could not confirm that one
prisoner was killed and six injured.
An Allied spokesman said the
demonstration began in . hospital

an inspection tour.
About 500 anti-C Communist Ko-

added that Indian troops then
moved in and broke UP the demon
stration with guns and clubs.
'They killed one prisoner and
wounded five others" he said.
A sixth prisoner was wounded
later, SO seriously that he may
die, when the demonstration pre-
sumably broke out again, he re-

An Indian spokesman said the

The u. N. Command said the

The Indian spokesman said the

It took a long time for Alvin
Dark and the New York Giants
to get together on contract terms.
And it probably will take the
rest of the spring training sea-
son for Manager Leo Durocher
to decide where the 30-year-old
inf1elder will play this year.
Dark finally agreed to sign a
contract yesterday. A telephone
conversation with President
Horace Stoneham resulted in a
two-year pact calling for an es-
timated $32 500 per season. Dark
is the first Giant player since
Walker Cooper in 1946 to receive
a two-year contract.
With Rookie Daryl Spencer,
up from Minneapolis, being
tabled as the regular Shortstop,
Dark is expected to be tried out
at second base in the early ex-
hibition games. IF the expert
ment fails, Alvin will be given q
chance at the third base job.
Dark, who batted .301 in 1852
and fielded .965 at shortstop, ap-
peared to be heading for an ex-
tended holdout siege earlier this
week.

Hoyas Looking 10 MT
With NewConfidence
After Whipping CIV
By Bill Fuchs

Georgetown University's bas-
ketball team is looking forward
to the National Invitation Tour
nament starting Saturday night
in New York's Madison Square
Garden with a confidence it
hasn't known since the seniors
were freshmen.
Since that fabulous season,
when the Hoya freshmen won
16 of II games. there has been
one disappointment after an
other. Two seasons of frustra-
ton in which the Hoyas mixed
greatness with panicky blowups
were enough to send one coach,
Buddy O'Grady. out Of the pro-
fession with an ailing stomach.
But last nights 1854 victory
over George Washington before
$500 fans at Uline Arena and
the five games before that seem
to indicate that the Hoyas finally
have arrived. At least Coach
Buddy Jeannette is Of that opin-
ion.
Coach Praises Hoyas.
"These boys are great" Buddy
was saying after last nights
game. which gave Georgetown
the mythical area championship
Everybody has been knocking
these boys, but let me tell you
for the last six games they have
been playing great ball. And
If they continue to play this way
