} PANMUNJOM, LR - One hun dred hale and happy Americans streamed through the bamboo curtain at Panmunjom today to start the second dramatic week of Korean war prisoner exchange.
 But their South Korean com- rades again came home in wretch ed shape. Pitiful living skeletons were passed tenderly from Com munist anbulances to filters car ried, by Allied soldiers.
 Four hundred in all got their freedom during the day. There were 100 Americans, 25 British, 25 Turks and 25O South Koreans.
 A surly batch of 2,758 Chinese and North Koreans, including 1,2OO North Korean civilians, was turned over to the Reds Wednes- day.
 They ripped off their clothing, yelled and shouted, and sang Com munist songs, but seemed more subdued than Reds freed pre- viously.
 Four returning prisoners said escape attempts had been foiled by Chinese because they were turned in by informers in their camp.
 Each released POW said the Chinese knew too much about the plans and where they had hidden supplies for the discoveries to be accidental. Each said he was either thrown in jail on reduced rations, beaten or made to stand motionless in the freezing North

Fugitive From Florida Chain Gang Plans Break From Fairbanks Jail

. FAIRBANKS. R-John A Tru- man, fugitive from Florida chain gang, apparently doesn't like Alaskan jails either.
 Captured near Anchorage and kept in the federal jail there, Tru- man escaped but was recaptured and sent to Fairbanks for safe keeping. The Fairbanks lookup is considered a more substantial building and a safer place for keeping someone.
 Harold Prosser, Federal jail superintendent at Fairbanks said he heard via the grapevine that Truman had plans to escape from ProsSer's establishment, too.
 Prosser summoned guards and they searched Truman's cell. They found an imitation pistol made of soap. It was stained black and looked genuine, Prosser said. In the cell was a length of pipe, part of knife blade and part of a tablespoon which could have been used in springing a lock.
 New charges of attempting to escape from custody have been added to those already faced by Truman.

Secretary Dulles
 Doubts Red Claim Of Having H-Bomb

WASHINGTON, R Secretary of State Dulles said today he ac- cepts with some skepticism Rus sian Premier Malenkov's implied claim that Russia has mastered production of the hydrogen bomb
 Malenkov said last weekend the United States no longer has a monopoly on H-bomb production apparently meaning the Soviet Union knows the secret too.
 Dulles told news conference the United States has no inde- pendent evidence that Russia has the super-powerful bomb.
 Specifically, he said, American authorities have not detected evi- dence of a hydrogen bomb explo- sion within the Soviet Union, either before or after Malenkov's surprise assertion Saturday.
 Dulles also said that Malen- kov's hydrogen bomb speech by implication confirmed the truth of Western charges that the So- viets have failed to give adequate return in consumer goods to the Russian people for their labor.
 He said too, Malenkov's ad- dress showed Russian despotism has been so complete that the So- viet people had no knowledge or participation in the plans of their rulers.
 In discussing Malenkov's speech Dulles said the United States in- tends to watch developments within Russia carefully to see if Soviet authorities follow through on promises to give the Russian people more consumer goods.

Heintzleman Reports
 Governors Favor Private Over Federal Development

JUNEAU, R-Seattle's hospi- tality was an impressive feature of the recent national governors $ conference, Gov. Frank Heintzle- man said Tuesday.
 Heintzleman, one of A state and territorial governors who at tended the conference last week, said it was obvious the state and city went to great expense and much trouble in making arrange ments.
 The governor said he was pleased that the conference fol lowed a "state" theme. It SUD- ports the administration policy of development by private enter prise instead of federal paternal- ism, he said.

JUN. Will Insure Return of All Red Held Prisoners

WASHINGTON, R-Secretary of State Dulles warned the Com munists today the United Nations will withhold ito the last' Red war prisoners charged with or convicted of crimes-to make sure the Reds return LIN. prisoners in the same category.
 In prepared statement Dulles also declared any Communist plan to withhold. American pri- soners guilty of so-called crimes would violate the Korean armis- tice agreement.
 Dulles said the Communists "have bad record in this mat ter' of holding back war prison CTS, adding there is ample evi- dence they kept hundreds of thousands of Germans and Japa- nese prisoners after World War II.
 Reports by returning American prisoners which tell of prison sen tences given some American POWs, he said, have not yet been officially evaluated.
 But he said these charges pro- vide reason for suspicion and a1ertness."
 Dulles went on to say:
 N"The United Nations Command holds substantial number of Communist prisoners of war who have committed crimes and I un- derstand that it is the intention of the United Nations Command to withhold the return of these prisoners of war to the last so that we shall first know whether or not the Communists intend to withhold the return of any con- demned by them to sentences"
 Dulles said the Communists might claim they have right to withhold some POWs under the provisions of the Geneva Conven- ton. The American position, he said, is that the truce agreement takes precedence over the Gen. eva regulations.

LUBBOCK, Texas R-Secretary
of Agriculture Benson told drought
harassed farmers of the Southwest
that the government will act to
save cattle needed to maintain
foundation herds for future beef
supplies.
Stating a shortage of feed was
forcing many livestockmen to sell
herds, the secretary declared it
would be "a calamity for the whole
country if foundation herds were
forced into liquidation"
"You need feed, and we want to
help you get it," said the Cabinet
officer in a speech prepared for
a meeting of the American Cotton
Congress.
Benson came here last week to
address the cotton group and to
check on a drought that has been
described as the worst in the his
tory of the Southwest.
