Briton Reports Reds
VainIY Sought Riffs
BY fhO Assoeiuted Press

MUNSAN, Korea, Aug. 5.-The
first British officer liberated to-
day from Communist captivity
said the Reds tried to create riffs
between British and Americans
In a prison camp near the Yalu
River-but it didn't work.
THE Chinese would insinuate
to the British they were better
than the Americans and they
would inSinuate to the Ameri-
cans they we're better than the
British" said 1t. Anthony Per-
rims of the Royal Northumber-
land FuSilierS, Slapton-by-
Leighton -Buzzard, Bedfordshire,
England.
These we're crude attempts to
get us to agree with them. Need
less to say, one didn't" he added.
Prisoners in his camp passive
ly resisted the Chinese guards
throughout their captivity, the
lieutenant said.
Allied captives refused to use
postcards inscribed with Com
muniSt slogans and peace doves.
he added. The night of the
armistice, he declared, the Chi
nese provided beer and extra
rations for a party which was
not held because "the Chinese
wanted to celebrate. Conse-
quently, we would not"

Russia Rejects U. 5.
Plane Protest, Denies
HoIdinu Missing Men
BY the Asseeiussd Press

LONDON. Aug. 5.-Moscow
radio said today the Soviet
Union has rejected a United
States protest against the shoot
ing down of an American bomb
er off Siberia July %. The
broadcast quoted a Russian note
as saying the Moscow govern
ment had no knowledge Of the
Is men missing aboard the
United States plane.
The B-50 bomber was forced
into the sea. Only one of the II
crewmen was rescued by an
American naval vessel. but the
United States has said It had
information that others may
have been picked up by Russian
craft.
The Moscow broadcast quoted
the Soviet note as calling the
American protest completely
groundless." It had been filed
by Washington officials after an
earlier Russian charge that the
bomber had flown over Soviet
territory and opened fire on
Russian jet fighters.
The United States denied the
charge and claimed that the
Russian MIG Jets had attacked
the bomber 40 miles out over the
Sea of Japan.
The new Soviet note declared
the Russian government has in
its possession no information
whatever about the United States
aircraft, which withdrew in the
direction of the sea, or about
its crew."
Repeating previous charges
that the plane had flown over
Russian territory and opened fire
first, it again demanded that
those guilty of violating the
Soviet frontier should be held
strictly responsible" and added
that the Soviet government ex-
poets the United States to take
measures to prevent future vio-
lation" of Russian frontiers by
American planes.

FICTION


godmother and three wishes. She lay in her
rumpled bed, stared out at the hazy day and
thought of the wishes she would make.
First, for thin, patrician nose, blonde hair,
and willowy figure. Like Alma, her older
sister. Then she WINGED, remembering what
Fred had said last summer. Jill, you're not
a glamour-girl You're snub-nosed, freckle-
faced, sorrel-topped kid who might be cute if
you didn't try so hard" That was the last
time she saw Fred.
Second, she would wish she was neat. Not
fussy, like Alma, who never had hair out of
place or smeary lipstick or crooked seam.
But - well, she remembered what Andy said
on their last date: Jill, you are the only gal
ever knew who could just walk into room
and make it look as if hurricane had struck" :"
Third? She smiled, just thinking of it.
Third, she would wish that George would take
her in his arms some time today and say, Jill,
darling, you are lovely and desirable and my
dream girl. Will you marry me, Jill?"
She lay for ten minutes savoring that wish,
cherishing it, thinking how wonderful George
was and brilliant, and - and methodical.
You had to be methodical to be meteorolo-
gist, handling all those isobars and isotherms
and cold fronts and warm fronts.
She didn't know what most of them were,
but George did. He made weather predictions
from them, and everybody read or listened to
them. She had been seeing George for almost
four months, ever since Alma fiance brought
him around Albert had known George in
college. Alma had said, George is just the
man for you. He's so busy with his statistics
he'll never notice how sloppy you are"
Jill got up and stared around the room. The
Rats Nest, Alma called it. 1t wasn't too bad.
Four pairs of shoes on the floor, but she could
always find matching pair among them.
Evening star., 1953-11-29

Almost always. Five lipsticks and three COM
pacts on the dresser, where she could take her
choice without paving through drawer.
Nylons hanging on chairback, where she
could pick out clean pair in an instant.
She picked up her robe and went to the
kitchen where she put bread in the toaster, set
an egg to boil and put the heat under the
coffee Alma had left.
,DILL was in the bedroom taking the curriers'
out of her hair when the phone rang. George.
Jill! It's going to be good day for our
picnic. That occluded front is moving in, but
slowly. Maximum temperature will be about
78."
"It's kind of misty here" she said, land
wondered -"
Morning mist" George said firmly. ''It
will dissipate by eleven at the latest. Ceiling
thousand feet, and rising"
"Oh. you're wonderful" She thought she
smelled something.
Simple he said, "as one two, three. I'll
be there at 1890"
"I1l be ready" Something s0as burning.
She hurried to the kitchen. The egg pan had
boiled dry, the toaster was smoking, the coffee
had boiled down to thick, brown syrup.
Well, there was more bread. And she had
breakfasted many time on hard boiled egg.
She made sandwiches, packed them with
pickles and cupcakes in Alma's cute wicker
basket She set the scorched pans to soak.
She did her nails. Waiting for them to dry,
she thought nothing could 60 wrong this time.
Not like the time she spilled coffee all down
her white strapless just as George arrived to
take her to dance Or the time she wore one
red slipper and one green one to concert
with him.
Nails dry, she dashed to the bedroom and
put on her starched, immaculate pink dress,
thinking of girlhood picnics back home. Hair
in a horsetail, jeans, loafers, lunch in COW
cred tin pail. That's the way she had planned
