Vation in unheated Korean hutS
reminded Americans of the re-
port of Col. James Hanley late
In 1851. He said more than 5000
Americans had died in captivity.
Many. the 9th Army judge
advocate said, were killed by
their captorS.
U.N. Report Says 5000.
Less than a month later the
United Nations issued a report
from Gen Matthew B Ridgway
placing the figure at closer to
5000.
The first IS Americans and
235 other allies returned by the
Reds in the first three days of
the exchange of sick and wound
ed prisoners reported the deaths
OF approximately 1900.
Another SIS Americans have
been promised back in the ex-
change and $50 more from other
allied units. Their tales may run
the figure higher.
At the time the United Ma
tions Command exchanged pris-
oner lists with the Communists
in December, 1851, approxi-
mately $4,000 American soldiers
were listed as missing in action
by the Department of Defense.
Reds List 3,1OO Americans.
The Communists announced
they held 3,100 American pris-
oners or roughly Is per cent.
Death from wounds. starvation
and exposure had accounted for
most of the remaining IS per
cent.
u. N. losses - bodies ground
under tanks, or vanishing in the
thunder of cannon f1re-have
been comparatively less in this
war than in others, mainly be-
cause that kind of warfare has
been limited. Probably fewer
than 1000 reported missing in
action actually disappeared
without any one knowing what
happened to them.
The fate of the many was re-
counted this week in Freedom
Village.
Accounts by Allied Soldiers.
Here are the accounts of
deaths Of allied soldiers on forced
marches and in prison camps in
North Korea as told by Amer

prisoners just released from
Communist captivity:

Debate Is Brief.
An anticipated debate on the
subject of the U. N. proved brief.
There was no count of the af-
firmative votes, but there are
$3.50 qualified voters in the 62d
Continental Congress at Consti-
tuition Hall.
The resolution pointed out the
U. N. Charter was adopted on
the thesis that members would
retain their national sovereignty
and rights as free nations and
would not intervene III matters
which are essentially within the
domestic jurisdiction of any
state"
The U. N. Charter comes up
for revision in 1855, the Daugh-
terS continued. and world gov
ernment proponents are already
zealously working to achieve
their aim of Strengthening the
Charter to provide for a world
government or partial world
government"
The OAR maintained its
stand that the u. N. should be a
deliberative body of sovereign
nations working together for the
adjustment or settlement Of
international disputes or situa-
tionS which might lead to a
breech of the peace"
The Daughters reiterated op-
position to the genocide conven-
ton, the Covenant on Human
Rights and "all other U. N. agen-
cies or treaties which would have
the effect of Superseding our
Constitution or limiting our ma
tional and State liberties OF free

opposition to the resolution
when she said, IT believe in the

members, like herself, felt it was
the worlds best hope for peace.
Since 1945. she said, a quarter
of the worlds population had

Mrs. Cannon c. Hearne, Of

Mrs. Elizabeth Peck of Glens

that the OAR is unnecessarily
afraid that the U. N. will become

Socialized Medicine Crusade
Under Fire By Incoming COP

What irked Judd and some other
COP lawmakers was a report by
the Federal security Agency
(FSA), headed by Oscar Ewing,
saying that during 1851 private in
surance met only about Is per cent
of the nations personal costs of
sickness, including loss Of income.
The combined total of private
expenditures for medical care and
loss of income due to sickness was
put at $4,000, 900, 900. The report
said the nation paid 81, 400. 600, 900,
in health insurance premiums and
got back in benefits go million
dollars less.
President Truman and the FSA
have several times recommended
that Congress enact system of
prepaid health insurance for en-
ployed persons, the cost to be
financed by payroll levies. Just as
consistently, Congress has refused.
The American Medical Associa-
ton called the FSA report. issued
Saturday night, a "perversion of
statistical information and an
obvious attempt by lame-duck
administrator to discredit the vol
grams" DR.. George F. Lull of
Chicago, the AMA's secretary and
general manager, said, Someone
played with statistics and present
ed them in a way that implied
there was a dire need for COM
pulsory health insurance"
Republican House Leader Hal
leck of Indiana said the House was
mot going to get into the field
of compulsory government insur-
ance."
Recently a health commission
appointed by Truman sought to
compromise the compulsory health
insurance dispute.
1t proposed federal grants to the
states to help finance insurance
for individuals unable to pay the
cost Of the premiums themselves.
It also proposed that recipients of
federal old age and survivors ben
efits have their medical insurance
costs paid from social security
funds.
Judd, a physician and one time
missionary doctor, declared the
any totalitarian system of govern
ment-financed and operated medi.
cal care-and that's what their
system is, whatever they call it."

Fashion Show
For
n. Y. Visitors
BY DOROTHY ROE

NEW YORK R-America's fash
ion capital is staging its semian-
nual edition of the Greatest Show
on Earth" for visiting editors this
week, presenting styles of the new
season with all the dramatic trim
mings of Broadway opening.
For about $50 fashion reporters,
representing newspapers through
out the United States and abroad,
the daily schedule usually begins
with an 8 o'clock breakfast show
ing. It proceeds far into the night,
with nary breathing space for
those hard-working gals who try
to see every show.
One of the houses usually sure
of full turnout is that of Maurice
Rentner, whose openings are ac-
companied by all the fanfare of
first night at the opera, complete
with impressive programs, elabor-
ate lighting, naughty models and
a hushed air of reverence. His
night showing this time climaxed
the opening day of the industry's
"Press Week" and was definitely
gala.
Among his Innovations for the
spring season are the butterfly
sleeve, the demijacket and the
standoH collar.
Following the general trend TO-
ward sleeve interest notable in
most collections this season, Rent
ner shows sleeves with floating
founces from the elbow, giving
winged look to the silhouette.
His demijacket is hardly jacket
at all. AS he puts it. it's ga mere
half jacket caressing the Shout
ders." Usually it is a coverup
device concealing a daring decol-
lete on dress or blouse beneath.
The standoff collar stands away
from the neck, as the name indi-
Gates, making a frame for the
shoulders.
He shows a series of slim, mold
ed dresses with full panel backs,
presents a group Of suave dress
maker suits cut on slim lines with
discreet touches of white or jeweled
trim, accents the importance of
draped chiffon for cocktail and
evening wear.
Not on the official schedule of
the New York Dress Institute but
enthusiastically applauded by visit
ing editors is the collection of Vera
Maxwell, whose casual skill with
tweeds has won her a following of
well-dressed women throughout the
country.
A handsome career woman who
wears her own clothes, Miss Max
well believes most u. S. women
like casual, functional garments
without frills and handsome fabrics
and fine, tailoring are Of first
importance.
She works with fabric manufac.
turerS to obtain exclusive colors
and weavss in her woolens, blends
them with a mastery hand and
turns out the kind of suits, cos.
tunes and coats that women boast
they s'live in"
