2 US. Prisoners
 Stall Attempts To Coax Them Home

PANM ONJOM lR1 - 1nO1dn LL. Gen. K. s. Thimayya said today he believes p American prisoners of the Korean war who refuse to quit the Communists are attempt ing to permanently stall off Allied attempts to coax them home.
 Thimayya said the Indian Com mand would make every effort to get the explanations started, but there was little possibility they would get under way in less than four or five days.
 Time is fast running out; the explanation period ends Dec. B.
 Only hours before they were scheduled to meet with American explanation teams, the P balky Americans refused to meet with interviewers. They said they won't leave their barbed wire com pounds unless fellow pro Con- munist South Korean prisoners also agree to attend the sessions. This South Koreans have refused to do for three days.
 Meanwhile, the saddened moth CT who flew across the Pacific from her Minnesota home in an effort to see her prisoner son received a letter from him bitter ly attacking the United States.
 Mrs. Portia Howe of Alden, Minn., her eyes yelling with tears, read the letter from her son, 2O-year-old Pfc. Richard R. Tenneson.
 Don't misunderstood me-" it said, q still love my family, my people and my country, and whe- ther you are able to unedrstand it now or not, believe me when 1 say that it is for them that I am fighting and it is impossible for me to live in the United States because I want to live as I wish.
 United States authorities have probably told you that I was forced, doped, brain washed or some other horse manure that they use to slander and defile people like myself who will stand up for his own thoughts and the rights
 Her face showing the strain of the last few days, Mrs. Howe all most broke down as she said, Where did I fail don't know where I failed"
 'I must find out where because I have three other children and l must not make the same mistake. ,

Record Crowd Jams Gym At Roof Garden

Although the temperature was 20 below zero Saturday night, the people of Nome turned out en masse to attend the 18th Pioneer Roof Garden. Long before the cur tain raised to open the program, every seat in the large gymnasium was occupied and standing room was at a premium. Young and old were represented and all enjoyed the evening to the fullest extent.
 Dan Jones, president of Igloo No. l, introduced President-elect Bob Scott who delivered the ad- dress of welcome which was en- thusiastically received. Bob, the son of pioneer parents, in review ing the history of those pioneers who blazed the trail and endured the hardships of frontier life in Alaska, very appropriately paid a weH-deserved tribute to the brave women who bore with patience and fortitude the trials, hardships and inconvenieces of those days and shared with their husbands the chill winds of diversity, sus- taining with courage and devotion their faith and perseverance to carry on, to sink one more shaft, or move over the divide to the next creek. It was a vivid DOT trayal of early pioneer life and in keeping with the occasion. It was much appreciated by the audience as evidenced by the ap- plause which followed.
 Then came the march of the Pioneers, men and women and the customary singing of Alaska, My Alaska"

Russian Wild Rye
Better Than Crested

WHY DOES AN article in your
paper say that Russian Wild Rye
grass makes a good supplement to
crested wheatgrass" april Is issue,
page 18).
Our experience leads us to be-
lieve that Russian Wild Rye is
better than crested wheat through
out the season and that crested also
ranks below a number of other
introduced grasses including tall,
intermediate and pubescent wheat
grasses.
On our ranch, Russian Wild Rye
is first up in the spring, stays green
all summer and all fall too. 1t is
very cold and drouth resistant.
Cattle prefer it, spring, summer and
fall, to all other grasses or clover,
even. And what the cows prefer
seems to us to be pretty much what
is making the most money.
Let's give new, introduced grasses
the place they deserve in grassland
agriculture. Crested wheatgrass has
its place, of course. But on our
ranch it has been replaced by what
we've found to be far better pro-
ducers.-C. D. H. RavalE County.

Maintain Parity Levels

TO KEEP the ship of state on an
even keel, there must be an eco
nomic level or relationship between
industry, labor and agriculture-or
parity level between them as near
as possible. 1t is unfair and unwise
to build up one at the expense of
the other.
Labor and industry set their price
on their products. Agriculture does
not; therefore, the government is
the only source of aid in maintain
ing a price level with them.
The public should be glad there is
an abundant supply of agricultural
products even if subsidy (tax mon
ey) provides fair profit above cost
of production.
If there were only so per cent of
supplies the public needs, the adj
vanced price would be far greater
than the subsidy on over production.

think we could get away with it. Anyhow,
I'm prepared to try. Have you passport,
Herr Schmidt. and do you speak French?"
Il have forged passport and do speak
French but with marked accent.
May l see the passport?" Anne-Marie
put out her hand feeling suddenly profes-
sional and confident. When Schmidt produced
the document, she examined it with the eye of
connoisseur, while Peter Macready watched
with smile of approval and private amuse-
ment.
A T-sHAPED arrangement of flashlights, tied
to sticks so that their flimsy beams would
shine upward, had been set out to mark the
line of the airfeld's main runway. At ten
minutes to eleven an elderly cargo-carying
DC-3 appeared, and Bates. Peters odd-job
man and watchdog. ran down the line, switch
ing on the lights. The plane circled once and
came in to land, its landing lights cutting into
the darkness like two shining knives.
Less than five minutes later, it took off
again with Peter, Anne-Marie and Schmidt,
and quantity of equipment aboard, while
Bates set to work to remove all evidence of
the airfield having been used

plane had reached cruising height and settled
down to drone steadily across the moonlit face
of England, Peter busted himself with para

Schmidt watched him, seemingly interested
in the design of the equipment, and presently,
with an almost brutal abruptness, asked,
What is the meaning of the black mark upon
the parachute pack?"
Peter blinked, then answered easily, "Oh,
that! 1t means it's got black canopy, that's
ALL"

mo, l couldn't lay my hands on two black
ones" Peter explained. Hers is the usual
camouflage color. You being number one in
this business thought you'd like the black
job - harder to see against the night sky"
Schmidt nodded slowly. Il am not sure
that would not prefer the other" he said
quietly. ''The night sky is not truly black -
not when the moon is high"
Peter made a gesture of evaporation. What
the hell!' he said. "Nobody's going to be
watching for you. Besides, I've got the har-
ness adjusted to your size"
There was pause. Then Schmidt said,
Very well. will take the black one. Show

"Afterward, Mrs. Parker, propose to rely
upon you to get me safely to the Italian-Swiss
border" The charming smile showed itself
again and Schmidt's intensely blue eyes lit
with wicked humor.
Il am told that you smuggled many wanted
men from one side of France to the other dur
ing the war - under the noses of our notori-
ously efficient Gestapo. If you could succeed
against such odds, doubt that you will find

gentle Suffolk landscape like great. pretzel-
shaped piece of concrete scar tissue.
Light cleaned round the edges of the
blaCked-out windows of a Nissen hut which
had once served as an Air Force guardroom.
She stopped her Car nearby. lighting a ciga-
rette with nervous fingers before she got out
Presently the hut door swung open under her
hand.
Of the two men inside. the first to see the
slim, dark girl on the threshold was Peter
Macready. He flung his arms wide and has
tened toward her. shouting a greeting in gut
ter-French. "Hold, PataboG' Ca "a. ma
petite gonzesse?"
Anne-Marie smiled, amused by the fam
boyant ebullience which was so typical of
Peter. She turned her cheek to be kissed and
said, ga n'ra pas mai, Pierrot." Then, in
English, she added, Il must be mad, though,
to let you talk me into this business
Macready chuckled, ''Of course you're mad!
You always were, bless your little heart. Come
and meet Herr Schmidt"
Together they walked toward an improvised
table by which tall, lean man was standing.
Friend Schmidt" Peter said. This kind and
beautiful lady is Anne-Marie Parker. &C,
M.BE., etcetera. If you want testimony
to her unprecedented skill and courage, you
might apply to Colonel Keffer, ex-head of the
Gestapo headquarters in Paris - if you can
find the lout."
The tall man bowed and kissed the girls
hand, bringing his lips down to it in the
German fashion rather than lifting it as a
Frenchman would have done.
He was about forty-fve years old, fair
haired, with strangely spherical small head.
His eyebrows and lashes were colorless, which
made the vivid blue of his eyes all the more
remarkable. Il am honored to meet 50 famous
and courageous an x-adversary, Mrs. Parker"
he said in faultless English.
ANNE-MARIE said, Thank you, Herr
Schmidt" returning his smile. which was
charming, and feeling surprise at the un-
Germanic gentleness of his beautiful voice. A
moment earlier she had decided that the man
was ugly, but now, under the influence of his
voice and his smile, she modified her decision;
Schmidt was strange to look at, certainly, but
not repulsive.
They sat down on ammunition boxes beside
the makeshift table. Peter produced a bottle
of whisky and glasses and poured out drinks.
Then, glancing at his watch, he said, There's
half an hour to wait, at least. The kits all
ready outside in the car and Charlie Bates is
standing by to switch on the lights. If you
two want to make plans, now's the time"
Schmidt nodded, reaching for brief case

Parker?"

Very little" Anne Marie answered, "ex--
cept that you came to England illegally and
have to get out the same way"
The German raised one of his colorless eye
brows. In that case you are taking great
deal on trust, are you not?"
The girl nodded calmly. Peter and to-
gether survived two years of the most danger
GUS existence there is. He saved my life twice
and saved his once, at least. We trust one
another, Herr Schmidt. l was sure Peter
wasn't proposing anything shameful when he
asked me to help you"

pause he asked Would it be an impertinence
to ask what are your motives?"
Anne-Marie laughed. 1--we been short of

Il have no objection to earning five hundred
pounds and l couldn't refuse to do Peter a

SMILING now, Schmidt nodded second time.
Those are good reasons" he commented
Then, unfolding his map, he added, perhaps

- so that you shall have it quite clear" Anne
Marie inclined her head. ''In fact" Schmidt
continued, Il am German ex-officer of high

Many of these documents deal with the
