13 Foreign Visitors
Observe 4-H Clubs
Holding Camp Here
THE EVENING STAR Az
Washington, D. C. **
THURSDAY, JUNE 1S, 1883

Some 200 delegates from 46
States, Hawaii and Puerto Rico
today began the second day Of
their 23d National All Club
Camp here with 13 youngsters
from foreign lands observing the
proceedings.
The 13 foreigners. who hail
from Japan. Australia. Turkey,
the Netherlands, France. Uru-
quay and India. are keeping an
eye on the camp as part of their
studies here under the Interna-
tional Farm Youth Exchange
Program. of which the All Is
one Of the sponsors.
One of the foreign visitors had
to come only from Frederick
County. Md. He is Toshio Fukui.
10. who has been at the Myers
vile farm of Wolford w. Wolfe
since coming to this country last
May.
Toshio halls from Yamagato
Prefecture on the island of Hon.
Shu where he has a 7-acre farm.
His three younger brothers are
taking care of the farm while
he spends six months in the
United States under the ex-
change program.
Speaking some English, ToShio
came to the camp with Miss
Mary A. Thomas, one of Mary
lands two girl delegates, who is
also from Frederick County.
Neither Mr.. Wolfe's son William.
10, nor his daughter Vivian. Is.
are delegates to the convention
though they are both active in
the All.
While he is in the United
States Toshio is spending two
months with Mr.. Wolfe's family
and four months in Oregon. In
Oregon he is particularly inter-
ested in studying the methods Of
fruit culture because four acres
of his small farm in Japan are
devoted to this type of agricul-
ture.
Another aspect of American
agriculture he is interested in Is
the growing of flowers, because
that was his project as a member
of the Japanese All.
And the National All Club
camp is also of great interest TO
him because he is national Off
Ger of the Japanese All and part
of his program here is to study
the organization of the clubs.

They presumably were putting
the document into English, Ko-

The staff officers recessed in
definitely.
There was no announcement
as to when the top-level nego-
tiators would meet to approve
the text.
The interpreters quit for the
day after working five hours and
scheduled another session for 10

the Interpreters might have COM
pleted work on the document and
scheduled another meeting to re-
read it.
Some observers said 1t was
possible the armistice agreement
would have to be sent to Wash
ington and U. N. headquarters
IN New York for approval. This
would take several days.
Meanwhile, both sides acted as

though a truce were still no
more than a few days away.
Big New Building Started.
Communist work crews tore
down mud huts in Panmunjom
and began construction of what
appeared to be a large perma-
nent building. This may be the
site of the official signing and
could serve as headquarters for
THE military armistice commits
sion.
U. N. officials stepped up the
job of clearing sites for ex-
changing prisoners and top Of
f1cerS who will serve on the mill
tary armiStice commission flew
to Korea.
+ At Freedom Village near here,
where prisoners will get their
first real taste of freedom, full
dress rehearsals were held to iron
the kinks out of procedures de-
veloped during the exchange of
silk and wounded last April.
The U. N. advance camp here
also was being enlarged.
The senior allied member of
the proposed armistice commits
sion, Maj. Gen. Blackshear M.
Bryan, landed in Munsan after
a flight from Tokyo. where he
was commander of the United
States 18th Corps. Gen. Bryan
went into an immediate brieflng
session with the top U. N. nego-
tiator. 1t. Gen. William K. Har-
rison.
Accompanying Gen. Bryan was
Brig. Gen. E. H. Underhill, who
will serve on the commission.
Air Force Mai. Gen. George
G. Finch was expected later in
the day to replace Brig. Gen.
Edgar Glenn as a delegate on
the U. N. truce team. Gen. Glenn
is to retire next month.
Along the battle front Com
munist loudspeakers blared that
a truce had been signed land the
war is over" But the Reds were
wrong. Top U. N. and Red COM
manders must sign the truce

air installation Is miles west OF
Tokyo.
First reports said there was
one japanese injured by the
crash.
Emergency medical teams and
crash crews from nearby Air
Force installations rushed to the
scene Immediately and reported
there were no survivors,"
The Air Force said there was
some light rain and fog as the
plane left Tachikawa, but the
weather was not bad enough to
ground aircraft.
It said there was a ceiling of
about 1000 feet and visibility of
about one mile. A spokesman
said the safety limits are a $50
foot ceiling and half-mile visi-
bility.
Leaves Already Completed.
All Army rest and recupera-
tion leaves in Japan were can
celled after the South Korean
government released $4,000 anti
Communist war prisoners from
allied compounds in Korea. But
it appeared probable that the
men aboard the doomed plane
already had completed their
leave.
A spokesman pointed out that
it normally takes more than a
day to process returning leave
troops.
japanese firemen were the
first to reach the blazing plane.
Seven of us rushed to the
burning wreckage and pulled out
seven dying men," one of them
said. "All the others were
trapped in the flames and we
could do nothing"
Hiroji Kato, a 35-year-old
farmer, was slightly burned when
the big craft exploded.
II heard a tremendous sound
Of engines" he told the news
paper Asahi. II looked up from
the field and saw this huge plane
falling on me. I almost tainted.
Then it crashed and exploded.
The blast burned me in several
places, but my wife and son, who
were working with me about IS
feet away, were not hurt"
Not Burning Before Crash.
An 18-year-old farmer, Sadao
Masua, said There was no
smoke when it fell but flame
shot up when it crashed. We ran
to the field where the wreckage
was scattered all about. There
were many bodies of the dead
thrown out by the impact"
Last Friday the Air Force
briefly grounded all Globemas-
ters after the failure of small
generator parts had caused fires
in the engines, of two planes.
Most Of the planes were out of
service only a few hours.
Witnesses agreed that the
Globemaster which crashed to-
day was not afire when it hit the
ground.
An Air Force board which in
vestigated last December's crash
at Moses Lake found that the
big plane crashed because some
one had failed to unlock control
surfaces before the takeoff. The
Air Force ordered special pre-
takeoff check routine as a result,
and work was speeded up on de-
vices to prevent such occur
renceS.

Alaska Military Port
Almost Wiped Out by
Fire and Explosions
By the Associated Pres,

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, June
18.-Fire and explosions de-
Stroyed millions of dollars worth
OF military installations and sup
lies last night at Alaska's main
military port of Whittier, 72
miles southeast Of here.
The rampaging, wind-blown
flames destroyed three new ware
houses, two docks and other build
ingS in less than four hours. Re-
ports here and at Seward, but
not confirmed by the military,
said a quantity of ammunition
blew up.
Cause Of the fire was unde-
termined and two unofficial ver-
sionS were given. One said that
a forest fire in adjacent timber
swept into the town. The second
said boiler in one of the ware
houses blew up to set off the
blaze.
Three Injured Critically.
Three persons were reported
critically injured in the boiler
explosion. An Alaska railroad
yardmaster was believed to be
the only other casualty, al
though hundreds of stevedore
troops stationed there were
utilized in fighting the fire.
Alaska defense command Off
cials here said the port facili-
ties were wiped out completely
and no longer were usable.
Many millions of dollars have
been spent in developing the
area, which serves as a port for
the entire defense command
sector.
Walt WEIGH of Radio Station
KENI in Anchorage flew to
Whittier and reported that
smoke from the fire extended
halfway to Anchorage. He said
tight military security had been
clamped on the port, making it
virtually impossible to get a full
picture of the situation.
A report from Seward said an
ammunition storage dump also
exploded, but it may have been
a reference to the small arms
ammunition supplies.
Military officials refused to
estimate the loss, but admitted
that it would run into the mil
lions of dollars.
The town, developed by the
military during World War II
and expanded vastly since then.
is mountain trimmed and can be
reached only by rail or air from
the land side. 1t has a civilian
population of TOO. Military Off
cials refused to say last night
how many soldiers were stationed
there.
New Building Undamaged.
The newest building in Whit
tier was a nearly completed Sc
million bachelor quarters for
military personnel, which has
been described as "a city under
one roof" This building appar-
emily was not damaged.
The Corps of Engineers has
said it is regarded as the largest
and most complete housing
structure ever erected by the
Engineers Due for completion
this summer. it was designed to
house 1900 men. 1t embraces
living quarters, recreational IA
cilities. which include a 350-seat
theater and four bowling alleys,
a hospital, library, shops and
other facilities.

scrambled past skimpy barbed-
wire Enclosures and fled into the
night beginning at midnight
Wednesday.
Outnumbered 1000 United
States guards were helpless ex-
cept to fire a few bursts from
their rifles. Nine prisoners and
one Korean guard were killed
and 16 other prisoners wounded.
Some chose not to flee.
More than 900 others were
rounded up by United States
troops. A roundup of the others
was put in motion Immediately
but the task appeared nearly
hopeless.
Enlistment With ROKs Doubted.
A South Korean military au-
thority said many escapes
would enlist in the South Ko-
rean Army but higher sources
cast doubt on this.
Mr.. Rhee. who heretofore has
opposed the impending truce
with a degree of moderation
while allowing subordinates to
threaten revolt and violence,
issued formal statement saying
he ordered the prisoners freed.
He said he acted according to
the Geneva convention and also
to the principles of human right"
South Korea's provost marshal
general Issued this appeal, broad
cast to the war-ravaged republic:
THE entire people of the Re-
public of Korea are requested to
protect and help these patriotic
youths"
Warning Against Re-arrest.
He warned that any one, re
gardless of nationality" who
tried to re-arrest the freed men
would be dealt with severely.
An American officer said many
ROK officers from the prison
camps fed with the prisoners.
Meanwhile, the U. N. Com
mand said it handed the Reds a
letter at Panmunjom reporting
the ROK guards had been re-
placed by United States troops
and that every effort is being
made to recapture the $4,000
prisoners still loose.
First reaction from observers
was that Mr.. Rhee's move would
not keep the allies from signing
an armistice agreement.
Reds Might Demand Return.
However, some sources said
the Reds might balk and de-
mand delivery Of the prisoners.

aration Of powers is involved.
THE power Of a duly-consti-
tuted and duly-authorized COM
mittee of Congress to call a
judicial officer before it to tes-,
tify regarding facts in his pos
session seems to me clear. If
there is any doubt on that point,
1t should be cleared up author
itatively now. The issue is bound
to rise again."
Mr.. Keating said that other
ex-Attorneys General have tes-
titled during the investigation
of the Jushce Department so,
1T seems important to me that
his (Justice Clark's) testimony
on specific cases handled during
his tenure be made a part of
the record"
However, since a policy de-
ciSion is involved it is my feel
ing that the full Judiciary Com
mittee should vote on the ques-
ton"
May be Precedent.
AS far as the subcommittee
could learn, no Congressional
committee ever has subpoenaed
a Supreme Court Justice.
Subcommittee authorities feel
that Congress should not sub
poena judge to account for his
work on the bench, but that it
Is proper to demand an account
Ing of his previous work.
Before he became a Supreme
Court Justice in 1949, Justice
Clark worked for the Justice De-
partment for IL years. For the
last four of those years, he was
Attorney General. During this
period. numerous irregularities
arose. Some evidence has pointed
toward Mr.. Clark as ATTORNEY
General, but no firm charges
have been made against him.
Asks About 7 Cases
Nevertheless, Mr.. Heating
wanted to question Justice Clark
about seven cases. These in
volved:
l. DR.. Olaf A. Olson, a Mimi
eapoliS physician who got a fav-
orable tax compromise under
unique circumstances.
2. Amerasia. the magazine in
volved in leakage of secret in
formation from the State De-
partment.
3. Kansas City vote frauds.
4. James A. Mutually, a Justice
Department attorney who was
fired after he took $3.50 for
warding fee from a lawyer.
5. Norman E. Miller g. Asso-
ciates, Inc, Detroit, which was
accused-and later cleared-of
padding costs on a Navy contract.
s. T. c. Coke. who was cleared
OF violating Office of Price Ad-
ministration regulations.
7. Roy E. drummer, bond deal
er who was indicted on mail
fraud charges and then cleared
when the indictments were drop
ped.
Justice Clark, in turning down
the invitation to testify about
these disputes. wrote to Mr..
Keating:
Your invitation involves a
principle of great Importance,
the preservation of the indie
pendence of the three branches
OF the Government.
The subcommittee should
agree that the courts must be
kept free from public CONTROVERSY.
In order to discharge their high
trust, judges have Scrupulously
maintained, as is clearly the duty
OF the office. a dignified retire

affairs and partisan politics.

siderations I must forego my

oners had slipped away in the
darkness and scattered through
South Korea.
ROK Colonies Disappear.
Brig. Gen. Lionel McGarr o1
the prisoner of war command
said most of the South Korean
officers in the camps up to anC
including colonels had disap-
peared with the prisoners. He
said higher precentage oi
South Korean enlisted mer
stayed at their posts.
Gen. McGarr said in a new.
conference weeks before the
breakout We saw what might
happen" He said the Pow
command had taken measures tt
reduce the risk. However, wher
asked by a reporter if he hac
any idea the break was coming
Gen. McGarr said: II hac
none"
He said there were only
80 to 35 Americans on duty in
each of the camps Wednesday
night. But he added that rein
forcements have arrived since
He emphasized the prisoners haC
"broken out" by battering OF
cutting holes in the barbed wire
fences.
He said he believed the
prisoners have been swallowed
up into the civilian population
by now and "if the people de-
cided to live up to the pro-
nouncement of President Rhee
we probably won't get many
back"
9Th Army Cancels Leaves.
AS the news became known
the United States 9th Army can
celed all leaves for Allied troops
The problem of rounding up
the prisoners appeared almost
impossible-many were South
Koreans who had been impressed
into the North Korean Army
All could blend into the mass
of other South Koreans un-
marked by language or physical
differences.
The U. N. command was rely
ing almost entirely on radio
broadcastS asking the prisoners
to return, even as South Korea S
radio Pusan broadcast Mr.. Rhee's s
urging civilians to house
and feed them.
The U. N. broadcasts told the
prisoners they had made a mis-
take in leaving the prison camps
They promised no reprisals and
assured the prisoners they would
be set free after an armistice is
signed.
In addition, the U. N. COM
mand ordered several units-pre-
sumably American-into a search
for the nriSOperS
COnfers With Paik.
Meanwhile. Maj. Gen. Thomas
w. Herren, United States COM
mander of POW camps, conferred
with Gen. Sun Yup Paik, South
Korean army chief of staff, with
out reaching any solution.
"Paik was non-committal," !"
Gen. Herren said, land he made
it clear that it was all in the
hands Of President Rhee."
From allied soldiers to q. N
headquarters in Tokyo there was
a strong undercurrent of resent
ment against Mr.. Rhee and his
followers.
A spokesman at Gen. Mark
Clark's headquarters issued a
statement accusing the South
Koreans of collision with the
prisoners in breakouts
from POW camps at Pusan,
Masan, Mansan and Sang
Korea.
Before the mass escape, the
U. N. held Just under 125,000
prisoners but nearly 47,000 of
them refused to go back. The
Is, 900 who escaped were among
the 47,000.
Mr.. Rhee went into closed ses-
sion with his cabinet.
United States Ambassador Ellis
o. Briggs in Seoul and other
diplomatic officials declined to
comment. But they were known
to be gravely concerned.
