Reds Charge Allies Detoin
Prisoners; Dispute Builds Up

Big Switch, which ended Sun
day.
Even as the post-exchange
dispute flared, the last group of
healthy Americans freed earlier
were on their way home by ship.
With 297 ex-POWs aboard,
the eighth and last troopship to
return American prisoners sailed
from Inchon for the two-week
trip to San Francisco.
That left only 10 American
repatriates in Korea. All were
medical cases scheduled for
evacuation shortly.
Other ailing POWs were en-
route home by plane from Tokyo.
Meanwhile, the stage was be-
ing set for the next phase of
the armistice-s settling the fate
Of prisoners who have refused
repatriation.
The U. N. command began
moving the first of nearly $4,000
Communist POWs from camps in
South Korea to the demilitarized
zone.
They will be shipped at the
rate of about $500 a day. with
the job scheduled for completion
by September 18.
The Reds say they hold about
800 Koreans and 20 non-Koreans
who have refused repatriation.
They have not announced when
they will start moving these
POWs to the demilitarized zone
in Western Korea.
Guarded by Indian Troops. +
The balky POWs will be
guarded by Indian troops under
the control of f1ve-nation re-
patriation commission.
For 80 days, allied and Com
munist officers will be allowed
to talk with the POWs in an eff
fort to convince them to return
home.
Prisoners who still balk at
going home will then be turned
over for 80 days to the Korean
political conference.
II the conference fails to set
tie their fate. the POWS will
be released.
Brig. Gen. Archelaus l.. Ham,
blen, jr., chief of the U. N. group
which win talk with the allied
POWs. said he hoped all will
decide to come back" but added
it was too early to make pre-

He said his teams probably
will start meeting with the al

generally were steady.
Mr.. Halter listed several rea-
sons for the big influx of cattle,
chief among them being the hot,
dry weather of last week which
scared pastures and left cattle
men with the choice of market
ing their cattle or buying feed.
Many, especially from Virginia
and West Virginia where the
drought was felt worst, chose to
market their stock.
Retail Market Slow.
In addition, Mr.. Halter said,
beef has been moving slowly at
retail, packing houses stopped
buying toward the weeks end SO
they wouldn't have to carry stock
over the holiday, and many pack
ers are negotiating with unions.
The 1900 cattle in the stock
yard pens actually was a reduc-
ton from earlier last week when
5000 animals were counted.

PANMUNJOM. Sept. 8 A
full-scale dispute over the eX-
change of war prisoners was
building up today. The Com
muniSts accused the allies of
holding back captives and the
U. N. Command drafted a de-
mand for the return of allied
POWs it asserts are still in Red
hands.
While Peiping radio asserted
the U. N. Command withheld
357 Chinese and Koreans from
repatriation, Gen. Mark Clark's
headquarters worked over a list
of Americans believed in Red
captivity.
The names were collected from
interviews with returned prison.

and lists and from letters writ

List Being Reached.
The U. N. list, after careful
rechecking, will be handed to
the Communists with the de-
mand that the Reds either re-
turn or account for the missing
Americans.
It was to have been given to
the Reds yesterday, but was de-
layed pending careful checks
with available information in
Tokyo and Washington.
The Joint Military Arrnistice
Commission will meet tomorrow
at IL am. Go pm. Tuesday EDT
and there was a possibility the
list will be given the Reds then.

BY the Assosie.sd Pres.

Some Republican leaders, con-
vinced the voters generally look
with favor on Senator McCar-
thy's Investigations of commu-
nism, intend to feature him in
some Of next years senatorial
campaigns.
The Senate Republican Cam
paign Committee already has
begun to line up ammunition
against five Democratic Sen
ators it regards as best bets for
displacement in the November.
1854. elections.
They are Senators Frear of
Delaware, Douglas of Illinois.
Gillette of Iowa, Humphrey Of
Minnesota and Murray of Mon
tana.
A committee official who
didn't, want to be identified by
name said that If present plans
mature. Senator Mccarthy will
be utilized in behalf of @. o. P.
candidates in. some of these
States.
Helped Beat Tydings.
Senator Mccarthy took an ac-
tive role in the 1850 senatorial
campaign in Maryland. which
saw Sentor John M. Butler. Re-
publican, defeat the veteran Mil
lard e. Tydings, Democrat. A
Senate Elections subcommittee
which investigated unanimously
called it a .~despicable back
street campaign" and criticized
some of Senator McCarthy's tao
tics.
| Senator Mccarthy himself was
reelected to a six-year term
last year. While he won handily,
he ran well behind the G. o. P.
margins polled in Wisconsin by
President Eisenhower and Coy.
Walter ]. Kohler. jr.
Senator Mccarthy. disclaiming
any knowledge of committee
plans, said he probably will make
some political speeches next year
but has no schedule.
Has 619 Invitations.
The Senator said he had re-
ceived 619 invitations for
speeches since the first of the
year, and that many of these
invitations came from members
of Congress"
Asked if he would be available
next year, Senator Mccarthy re-
piled: ''Ill probably make a few
speeches"
Senator Dirksen of Illinois,
chairman of the Senate cam
paign group, said future plans
have not yet jelled. But he left
no doubt he regards Senator Nc
Carthy as definite asset. Sem
ator Dirksen said that at a re-
cent Illinois meeting, the crowd
gave its greatest cheer to his
mention of Senator McCarthy's
Investigations.
G. o. p. May Lose Edge.
AS the situation stands, the
Republicans may go into the
campaign outnumbered by the
Democrats in the Senate. Not
counting Senator Morse, Inde-
pendent, of Oregon, the count
would be 48 Democrats and Al Re
publicans if Gov. Frank Lausche
of Ohio appoints a Democrat to
succeed the late Senator Rob-
ert A. Taft.

Girls Romance
By MurieI Nissen

DEAR MISS NISSEN: I am
q girl, 10. and have been going
steady with a young man Of q
for the past two years. He is
a flne person, and the only cause
for disagreement between us has
been his mother, who resents
the fact that I am not Of their
nationality. Later, when we
told her we intended to marry,
she threatened suicide. Ray led
her to believe we had broken
up, so for the past year we have
been seeing each other without
her knowledge. She wants him
to take a trip with her this
spring and when he refused, she
ordered him out Of the house.
] think she realizes he is still
seeing me, and is using this
method Of delivering an ulti4
matum to him. WILMA.
ANSWER: Rays mother has
80 many objections to her sons
marriage that the possibility of
overcoming them all seems rather
dim. The pride of race, which
fosters so much parental OBJ
lection to marriage. is as strong
as it is unreasonable.
Besides battling this strong,
instructive clanniShnesS, Wilma,
you must also battle a mothers
aversion to being alone. Rays
mother has conjured up q pic
ture Of herself as a deserted
woman who will be left alone
when her only son marries.
II your prospective mother i'm
law could have some assurance
that you are not going to be
heartless and that Ray would
not become a needless son, she
might be won over to the idea
OF your marriage. However,
while I offer these crumbs of
comfort in a remote hope that
they might help, it seems I'M

able to overcome the obstacles
to a happy marriage. You were
both wrong in keeping your
friendship a secret for the past
year, for as you see now, nothing
has been accomplished.
It's up to Ray to decide
whether he loves you enough to
buck his mothers domination.
Let him make the decision-but
soon.
DEAR MISS NISSEN: am
IA and live with an aunt who is
very kind to me. However, I like
q boy Of IA and she won't let
me go out with him. H. M.
ANSWER. Your aunt has a
serious duty in raising a young
girl; the least you can do to re-
pay her kindness is to obey her.
Since she doesn't want you to
see the boy, respect her wishes.
AS you grow older, I'm sure she'll
give you permission to date.
