Sergt. Webster Leo johnson of
Annapolis came home from a
Korean prison camp yesterday to
find his mother, doomed with
cancer, awaiting him at the air
port.
Neither the 25-year-old SOL
dier nor his mother, Mrs. Bertha
R. johnson, SIS, were aware that
doctors have given her from
Z to 10 days to live.
It was a poignant scene, to
those who knew, when they met
at Andrews Air Force Base at
2 pm.
A host of relatives had driven
the frail. 90-pound mother to
the airport from her home at
Carr's Farm near Annapolis.
She was at the flight line with
them when the plane came
down, and she was the first to
greet her boy.
Silently she placed her arms
around him. Just as quietly
he embraced her, bowling his
head mutely.
While rushing him to his
mother as speedily as possible,
the Army had shielded the SOL
der from knowledge of his moth
er's inevitable fate.
Mrs. Johnson. in a light green
frock, hugged her son for fully
a minute before yielding him to
the embraces of brothers and
sisters.
Sergt. Johnson was captured
December /, 1850, and released
August 8, after many months
at prison camp No. 5 near the
Yalu River.
Others meeting him at the
airport were brothers William,
SO; Claiborne, 35; Christopher,
30, and Cecil, 20. and sisters
Mrs. Tanzy Wolmack, "a; Mrs.
Hazel Brooks, 81. and Mrs. Vio-
let Brewer, %.
Sergt. Johnson's father died
when he was a baby.

LONDON. Aug. 25.-Perle
Mesta came back from two
months in Russia yesterday and
said she was shocked to see how
people live under communism.
Mrs. Mesta. former United
States Minister to Luxembourg,
said her 12,000-mile tour of the
Soviet Union only increased her
conviction that the free world
is the only place to live, the only
place where you can say what
you want to-"
She said the fact Russia has
been sealed of from normal ave-
nues of news, commerce and as
Sociation with the outside world
for a long long time" has bred
fear among its people.
Permitted to travel more ex-
tenSively in the U. S. s. r. than
any official American visitor

returns more impressed than ever
with her belief that the West
ern world must stick together"

Besides Moscow she visited
Stalingrad. the Dnieper Dam.
Odessa, Tif1is, Zaporozhe, Baku
and Astrakhan at the mouth of
the Volga River. She travelled
on the Volga-Don canal and the
Caspian Sea.
Everywhere she went, she said,
she took American canned food
with her. She explained she did
not like Russian food and rail-
way trains had no dining cars.
She said she was given per-
mission to take all the Journeys
she asked for. but that she could
not always get permission from
the Soviet government for Amer
leans from the Embassy whom
she wished to accompany her.
Mrs. Mesta in answering re-
porters at the dock, issued a pre-
pared statement.
II am just back from a strange,
strange world" the statement
said. When boarded the plane
to go to Russia, longed to re-
turn with a true picture of the
Russian people. I hoped I might
be able to make some contribu-
ton toward the assessment of a
situation that is dividing the
world.

3 War Plants Listed
By Reds for Return
To East Germans
BY the Assoeioted Press

BERLIN, Aug. 25.-The Com
muniStS announced today the
names and locations of the 33
RuSsian-managed mills and
plants that Moscow says will be
turned over to the East German
government when reparations
end January /.
They represent the last direct
Soviet foothold in German in
duStry.
The West German ministry for
alderman affairs, in an analysis
of east zone industry. said the
Soviet plants have been geared
for production of war materials,
Western observers anticipated
they would be nationafized as
soon as they are turned back to
Premier Otto Grotewohl's gov
ernment.
Still Will Supply Reds.
They also anticipate that the
plants will continue to turn out
weapons and military supplies for
the Red armies.
Analysis by West German and
allied economic experts shows:
1. The plants produce vast
quantities of war material, in
Guiding tanks and tank parts,
small arms. mortars, shipyard
parts, cranes, chemicals and syn
theticS.
2. Approximately 250,000 high
ly skilled East German workers
are employed in the 33 plants.
3. The chain Of industrial
mills was so organized that it
fed the mechanical Red army in
East Germany with most of its
equipment, except for artillery.
Jet aviation fuel, synthetic rub
Der and gasoline for tanks and
armored cars, have been turned
out in big quantities.
Naturalization Expected.
The Russians conf1scated the
largest producing plants in the
East zone in 1945 and set up a
chain of SO Soviet corporations"
for a giant reparations grab.
Sixty-six of the smaller mills
were turned over to the East
German Communist regime early
in 1852 and now are peoples
owned"-nationalized.
Berlin quarters expect the
other 33 plants to be national
lied as soon as they are turned
back to the Germans.
The biggest are the Krupp-
Gruson steel works in Magde-
burg, once a mighty arm of the
Krupp gunmaking center in the
Ruhr. They have been making
tank tracks and wheels, gre
nades. small arms and cranes
for the Soviet army. Another
Soviet-held plant in Magdeburg
has been producing the ma
chinery for the uranium mines
in Thuringia and SaXony.
Other plants to be given back
include Mersenburg's leuna syn
thetic gasoline and buna arti-
fetal rubber plants. employing
$4,000 workers; the film fabrik
Agfa- -Walfen in Bitterfeld, man
ufacturing artificial silk for
parachutes; the Leipzig ball
bearing works. The zeitz COM

Red Cross Officials
Get Only Conducted
Tour Of POW Camps
BY the Assoeiated Press

MUNSAN. Korea, Aug. 25.-
United Nations Red Cross officials
returned today from three weeks
in Communist North Korea and
said they were allowed to talk
only to hand-picked U. N. pris-
oners of war-under the watch
full eyes of the Reds.
The chief of the 30-man Red
Cross team, r. M. Jerram of
Cornwall, England. summed it
up: THE general Illustration of
the whole thing was a result Of
an agreement of restrictions,
delays and petty arguments.
For q military escort the
workers had "a lot of nasty
little thugs with Sub-machine-
guns" MIR. Jerram said.
Not . Single Complaint.
Not a prisoner among the Sc
lected ones interviewed voiced
a single complaint against the
Reds. the workers reported.
Mr.. Jerram strongly sus-
pected" that those interviewed
were carefully picked. I'VE
were not permitted free access
to the other POWs."
Released prisoners have said
the Reds chose only pro
gressives"-prisoners who went
along with the Reds or ct least
purported TOTO speak to the
Red Cross.
Mr.. Jerram said the prisoners
interviewed spoke in the presence
Of Chinese interpreters.
Those interviewed said the
food was adequate and that they
ate as good as their captors. Re-
leased prisoners have told quite
different story.
Visited Two Camps.
Mr.. Jerram said the teams
an equal number of Communist
Red Cross workers went along
visited two camps of non-Ko-
rean prisoners and talked to
Representatives" of two others.
They visited Camps l and 8,
most of whose prisoners have
been repatriated. They talked to
men of Nos. 2 and 4. No. 2 holds
about 470 officers and No. 4
about 600 enlisted men.
I'VE had a closely conducted
tour with an occasional bit of
useful work." Mr.. Jerram COM
mented.
He viewed the result as only
a qualified success"
Gerald Corom of Canton, Ohio,
headed other Red Cross teams
which toured camps holding
South Koreans. said: I'VE neither
saw nor heard evidence of any
violation of the Geneva conven-
ton"
Mr.. Corom said, however, his
men were "only partially free"
to do their Job.
Will Stay Anyway.
In Tokyo, James T. Nicholson,
executive vice president and gen.
eral manager of the Red Cross,
said he expects the teams to
stay on the job in North Ko-
rea despite all the obstacles
which Communist authorities
are placing in the way"

called a meeting July 20 in the

on the recent developments in
connection with the city's water
system and the recent outbreak Of
polio in the city.
Meanwhile a group of Rockville
residents called a meeting in the

ing the current water shortage
and polio threat"
IThe executive committee of the

circulated flier in their area
with information resulting from
their investigation of the current
ban on water use. They assured
citizens that the million gallon
storage tank to be completed be-
fore next summer would ease the
short supply.
The flier also urged the Mayor
to circulate a copy Of the revised
ordinance along with the complete
facts on the water situation to all
residents of Rockville.
City Clerk Sara Mortimer said
there have been many protests
since the "a hour ban on outdoor
water use was imposed a week

Mayor Weddle, in announcing
mis- meeting for next Wednesday
