POULTRY CASE
BEFORE COURT
POlin Poultry Company At
tempts to Reverse De-
cisiOn on Clayton Plant
SEWERAGE PROBLEM

The Polin Poultry Company's
attempt to reverse a State Board
of Health decision denying the
company a permit to operate a
processing plant at Clayton yes
terday went into it's third day be-
fore Judge Charles L. Terry, Jr., in
Superior Court. Isadore Polin of
the applicant company was on the
witness stand when court recessed
Tuesday. Mr.. Polin, under ques-
tioning by his counsel, Henry j.
Ridgely and David P. Buckson,
testified that no waste matter
would be discharged from the
plant into the Clayton sewerage
system. Chief Deputy Atty. Gen.
Vincent T. Theisen is representing
the health board.
Petitioned by Residents
1t also was testified Tuesday
that the Clayton Town Council had
been petitioned by So residents not
to permit operation of the plant.
The council refused a permit. The
company's suit, however, names
only the health board as respond
ent. Describing construction of the
cementblock plant, Mr.. Polin said
that the floor drains well, water or
sewage does not "back up," and
that the plants plumbing equip
ment includes traps and drains to
prevent feathers or other stray ref
use from getting into the town
sewage system. The witness main
tained that all requirements Of the
health boards regulations were
met in the construction of the
building which the company oper-
ated only a short time until the
ultimate denial of its application
for a permit.
Report System Overtaxed
Testimony presented Monday
was to the effect that the sewer
age system of Clayton already is
overloaded to three times its nor
NAL capacity. Counsel for the
company sought through other
witnesses to show that permits
had been issued by Clayton for
structures that would tie in with
the sewerage system since the
town denied a permit to Polin.
Testimony Monday indicated that
the burden of the proposed pro-
cessing plant on the sewerage sys-
tenn was equivalent to that of one
hundred and ten persons. MIR.
Polin said he was not advised of
any local health laws pertaining to
sewage disposal and plant waste
when he applied for a permit. He
contended the operation will be
fully sanitary.

Angry, Howling Koreans
Turn Down, 221 to 6,
Red Pleas To Come Home

PANMUNJOM Up - A n cry,
bowling Koreans today turned
down, 221 to 6, Communist pleas
to come home in another singing
boomerang for the Reds, who ask
ed to interview them after 10 days
of stalling.
The Communists dragged thru
the noisy interviews, meeting only
227 of the All Korean prisoners
called to the explanation area.
One of the six POWs who chose
Communism sat through fiv e
hours of Red wheedling and talk.
U.N. observers protested he was
worn out and confused and unable
to make a rational decision.
The Communist batting average
was close to their overall 3 per
cent for some 2,40O prisoners in
terviewed. The almost negligible
figure has been a jolt to Red
propaganda that all the $4,000
balky POWs wanted to com e
home
Some of the interviews with
the Koreans lasted 21s hours.
They were relatively quiet until
late in the afternoon, when the
POWs began attacking the per-
suaders as if on signal
The prisoners fought with the
guards until Indian chairnen in
each tent ordered a cooling off
period.
The explainers pleaded, shout
ed, smiled and threatened.
The prisoners listened con-
temptuously, confidently, some
times shouted back - and then
chose South Korea.

New Hope For
Korea Settlement

PANMUNJOM, R-Allied and

pumped new life into dwindling
hopes for a Korean peace settle

Top-level negotiators reconvened

proved an agenda drafted by staff
advisers in six secret sessions.
The agreement provides for
simultaneous discussion Of time
and place for the peace conference
and Of nations which will attend.
Communist insistence on deciding
the composition first had dead
locked the preliminary talks for
three weeks.

the future of Red interviews with

ers who have refused to 60 home

pressing intense concern" over

Nehru earlier had said India
would consider American military

Pakistan, he said, 'can have

give up its independence if it
likes or limit it, but we are con-
cerned with the consequences Of
these actions and watching devel-

in effect placed non European

made "a defenseless Western
Europe" part Of the price for

ence.
The Western powers said "The

Commerce Official Denies
Rumors that CAB Is
Under Investigation

WASHINGTON, R-The Com
merce Department has taken Of
fetal note of rumors that the
Civil Aeronautics Board is under
investigation - and has denied
them.
Robert B. Murray, Jr., under
secretary of Commerce for Trans
portation, said he knew of no in
vestigations having to- do with the
CAB or any of its five members,
nor of any studies that might lead
''to any recall or resignation of
a CAB member.
He referred to reports in avia-
ton trade magazines and in GER
tain syndicated columns that as
many as five groups = including
the Federal Bureau of Investiga-
ton and at least two COMPRESSION
al commissioners locking into
CAB operations.
These reports implied-without
giving sources of their informa-
tion-that the probers were look
ing into possible favoritism by
board members toward certain
airlines, or other forms of i'm
proper administration of the Civil
AeronauticS Act.
Murray suggested that the re-
ports of CAB investigations could
be the result of the harvest moon,
or of the warm Indian summer"

Naughty Words Removed
From Movie Cease Fire

HOLLYWOOD, R-The words
damn and 'hell' will be with
drawn from the movie "Cease
Fire" made by real soldiers in
Korea. Producer Hal Wallis said
Friday that more delicate words
would be substituted in the script
as a result of the refusal of the
Motion Picture Association of Am
erica to give the picture its seal
Of approval.
"Since we used real soldiers we
felt the use Of those words in three
places would not be objection
able" Wallis said.
Paramount Pictures will dis
tribute the movie, which will soon
have its New York premier with
Gen. Mark Clark as the official
host.

Truman To Go
'sAll OUT In
Nationwide Talk

INDEPENDENCE, Mo-, Up -
Harry S. Truman, ready to tell a
nationwide audience his side of
the Harry Dexter White contro-
versy, says the FBI director sat
in on a conference at which
Whites fate was discussed.
The former President replies
tonight over radio and television
hookups to Atty Gen. BrowneH's
charges that in 1916 he kept White
in government service despite FBI
reports that White was a spy.
The name Of FBI director j.
Edgar Hoover came up when
Truman was questioned last night
about reports his speech would
explain White was retained in
government work under plan to
trap an alleged Communist spy
ring.
Associates of the former presi-
dent have been quoted as saying
the case of White, who died in
1948, was discussed at a confer
ence Of Hoover, the late Fred
Vinson, chief justice, and Tom G.
Clark, then attorney general and
now a Supreme Court justice.
It was at this conference plan
to keep White in government
work was repeatedly agreed upon
The Kansas City Star reported
that Hoover denied he ever had
approved plan to retain White
and that he opposed his appoint
ment to the International None
tary Fund dictatorship.
Brownell has charged that
''White was known to be a Com
munist spy by the very people
who appointed him" to the none
tary post.
Truman said he would go call
out" on his speech tonight, which
will be carried by NBC, CHS and
ABC radio and television net
works.
Truman associates were quoted
as saying White was transferred
from his security sensitive" post
as an assistant secretary of the
treasury to the '1ess sensitive"
monetary fund dictatorship be-
cause he was under suspicion.
