she would be safe if she stayed in

Gus, DeVaney decided to try to re-
move the wire from the car.

from another fisherman and push
ed the wire off the auto. When
the heavy wire hit the road, it
bounced against Mr.. DeVaney who
was killed instantly.

WASHINGTON LETTER

WASHINGTON - More than
$4,000 North Korean and Chi
nese prisoners of war who have
refused TO 90 back to homes in
communist-ruled lands are now
in the custody OF the Neutral Ma
tions Repatriation Commission.
Some 800 of them are practic-
j & Catholics and probably sew
eral thousand are Protestants.
All of them have been denied
religious care since coming un-
der the N.NR.C's jurisdiction
several weeks ago.
Failure to provide such care
specifically to allow Chinese and
Korean speaking chaplains 10
work among them ~ points up
the necessity for a clearer spell
ing out of religious issues in
international agreements.
The P0W's are being held in
the demilltarlZed zone near Pan
munjom, Korea, where they are
guarded by Indian troops. During
the next three months teams of
communists will meet with the
prisoners and try to persuade
them to change their minds about
not going home But of the first
500 prisoners to meet with the

than anywhere else it is express

of the introduction TO the Pro

Our Great Freedom

privilege is never much appreciated than
when 1t is taken away. The old swimming hole never
seemed so attractive until the classes resumed and
we we're up to our necks in reading writing and
rithmetic instead of the welcoming waters of our
fayorite creek
It was certainly killing matter if We had to
curtaii our outdoor activities for while There was
no duty attached to the privilege And we knew
that with the turn OF the seasons and the passage
OF the months our privilege would return again
Such is not always the case, though, with other
privileges or rights We have seen, more and more,
the will Of people free, being shackled by un-
serupuous leaders Peoples who were once free to
choose the men and manner of directing their own
destinies are now unable to voice even an opinion
counter to the prevailing regime; they can only
parrotlike give unwilling assent They have lost the
privilege of the free election
Here In America we have that privilege. II Is
guaranteed us by our Constitution II is essential
to the maintenance of everything We hold dear
about government
It is the very nature Of privilege or right that
il can either be used or not used The very freedom
which our type of government preserves for all
lets it up to each individual whether not he will
enjoy the privilege of voting
The sad fact is, though, that for many this priv
ilege might as we'll not exist Those who exercise
their freedom by not voting might just as we'll be
living in some Communist dominated land where
the privilege no longer exists

sent the accusation that we were not Americans.

care during that time is still not
known. 1t is not known because
of the vagueness of the terms of
the Agreement On Prisoners of

United Nations Command and
the communists.
1t is true that the Agreement
calls for treating the PoW's lin

visions of the Geneva Conven-
ton and with the general spirit
of that Convention" which re-
quires a OBTAINING power to pro-

the prisoners it holds.
But this already violated clause
IN the Agreement is its only men
tion-and an indirect one at that

On the other hand, provisions for
their physical welfare and other
rights are carefully detailed.
