Reds Make Prc=aganda
OF Valley Forge P0Ws
BY the Associoted Press

TOKYO. May 13.-The Com
munists' Peiping radio said to-
night American prisoners repa-
triated at Panmunjom have been
Jailed in lunatic hospitals" be-
cause they refused to produce
"the so-called atrocity stories
that United States Army officers
and officials demanded of them"
The propaganda broadcast,
monitored in Tokyo by Radio
Press, said some of the "jailed"
American repatriates had Sue
ceeded in holding their own press
conference and had voiced their
disgust at the American press for
printing atrocity stories.
The broadcast said British
prisoners of war told of good
treatment in North Korean and
Chinese camps upon their return
to England.
(Of 149 American repatriateS,
% who had been pictured as
pro-Red by Chinese propagan-
dists were flown to Valley Forge
Hospital at Phoenixville, Pa, so
the Army might study their
treatment at the hands of the
Communists. These vehemently
denied any Red taint and eX-
pressed resentment at being
singled out for special observa-
tion. Other repatriates were
flown to hospitals near their
homes or were given leave almost
immediately

would follow his predecessor

have their responsibilities while
the assistant United States At
torneyS have their own jobs to
carry out in prosecuting Grim
inals.
Mr.. Rover drew a laugh when
he said he sis opposed to sin"
and recalled the classic remark
of former President Coolidge
when his wife accused him of
missing a church service.
Appointed by Coolidge.
President Coolidge was the
man who first appointed Mr..
Rover to the United States At
torney's post here.
Mr.. Rover, who succeeds for
mer United States Attorney
Charles M. Irelan, declared that
he agrees Fundamentally with
Mr. IrelanS rule of reason"
regarding multiple indictments.
He indicated he does not want
the Federal court jammed with
too many cases involving the
same person, but he turned
thumbs down on what he called
''jockeying indictments" with
defense attorneys.

Taft Suggests Study
Of Pay in Congress

Senate Majority Leader Taft
was on record today for a study
of congressional salaries by a
commission of experts outside of
Congress. amid indications that
the bill to raise Senators and
Representatives to $4,000 a year
has little chance of passage this
year.
Senator Taft said he has al
ways thought congressional sal
aries need revision, but is not
committed to any particular fig
ure. Referring to the $4,000
increase recommended by the
Judiciary Committee Monday,
Senator Taft added:
Somebody outside of Con-
gress better make a study of it,
possibly a presidential commits
sion. 1 don't think there is any
hurry about it, though. because
I don't think people feel this is
a peculiarly appropriate time"

Judge Allows
Petitioners Request

Continued from Page Onc)
pointed out the will gave them
absolute authority and discretion
as to amount, that it was not their
duty to seek approval of the court
as to the amount of allowance and
alleged the amount they were pay
ing, together with other income
received by the petitioner is fully
adequate for his maintenance and
education"
The petitioner testified he had
invested most of the $69,OO0 from
which he would get probably
$1,000. He gave an estimated eX-
pcnse account which would amount
to $500 for the coming year.
Judge Henderson pointed out
there was no indication that Offutt
was a spendthrift or of bad habits
and that he did not seem to be re-
questing an uniustifiable amount,
considering his last year at school
and his liability to pay federal and
state income taxes on the amount
he would receive from the trustees.
He also pointed out that under
the will that unless Daniel Offutt
III reached the age of forty the
trust estate would not vest in him.
If he dies before then the trust
ends and the corpus plus any un-I
distributed income goes to the sis
ter and nephews and nieces Of the
testator. There are also stipula-
tions in the will calling for an adj
vanccment of $4,000 to the pc
titioner at age 30 and age 80 re-
spectively.
The Judge decided it resolved in
to a question of law, that if the
trustees were justified in taking
into consideration the additional
$2,10O income then 5000 per month
was proper, but if not then It'll
should be increased. In interpret
ing the will the judge said Here
we have a father who wishes toi
assure to his only son monthly
allowance in an amount necessary
and desirable for his support and
maintenance The testator must
have known when he signed his
will that his son would get abso-
lutte control of proceeds of certain
insurance policies and of bonds in
their Joint names He added no
qualifying phrases that would have
justified the Trustees i'm taking
the stand they have Of taking in
to consideration his other income
or resources "
His request for 500 more is
justified, constituting the will as it
should be construed, in view of
what | believe to be the law" the
judge said and concluded that the
allowance payable by the trustees
should be $500 monthly, effective

it-because few golfers are made over

B. 7. w. Band News

AS the school term for 1882
50 comes to close, the Booker
T. Washington high school band
members have already begun
reminiscing happily over nine
months of practicing during school
hours as well as after school
hours. Memories of marching
band drill, pep rallies parades to
the stadium, musical half time
shows, school programs, school
concerts, community concerts and
parades for civic groups, practic-
ing for the State Festival Con-
test, the pre-festival concert, the
trip to and from the festival and
commencement are chasing each
other in the minds of these young
and energetic boys and girls who
now are happily and anxiously
awaiting the opening of the
1953-54 school year.
Mr.. Timothy O. Savage, the
bandmaSter, said that quite a
few of his "old" band members
who held the key positions in the
woodwind, reed,. brass and per-
cussion sections Of the band
graduated this year. However,
Mr.. Savage said that he felt
confident that adequate replace
ments will come from his junior
band for next school term.
Some of the main detectives of
the Instrumental music program
in the public schools are to teach
pupils to appreciate listening and
performing good music, to teact
pupils to spend their leisure time
wisely, happily and culturally
and to teach pupils to perform on
instruments for the pleasure de-
rived as far as their interest and
ability will allow. Students who
are interested in taking inStru-
mental music for the purpose OF
eventually getting in the band
are urged to purchase such in
struments as flutes, clarinets, al
to saxophones, etc.
The band uses more clarinets
than any of the other tnstru-
mentS.

And of you've gotten up again
Within your town,
You know the sorrow and the pain

For those who never stop 10 think.
And what is more,
With progress they can never link.
