Arkansas Parents Churoe
Murder in Ice Box Deaths

Earlier yesterday the father,
34-year-old j. A. Hallman, told
newsmen he was sure the chill
dren were murdered" because
there were too many funny
things" involved. His wife
agreed.
Mrs. Hallman returned from
the fields last Wednesday to find
the children missing. After a
search she called officers. A dep
uty lifted the lid of the box and
discovered the bodies.
Crittenden County Coroner T.
H. McGough said the children
were apparently playing in the
box when the lid, which had
been tilted back against the
wall, tipped shut. Death was at
tributed to suffocation.
However, Mr.. Hallman's old
est daughter, who. arrived home
with Mrs. Hallman, insisted an
old pillow point rested on the ice
box lid.
Yes, I saw it right on top of
the ice box as we came up on the
porch" said 11-year-old Mary
Ellen.
Among widespread rumors OF
foul play, a neighbor was quoted
as saying she heard screams
coming from the Hallman house
the day the children died.
"A lot of these rumors have
been run down but didn't par
out" said Deputy Bill Williams

Three young fellows were cry
ing, whether from fright or ia
tigue I do not know. I do know
that when that dread order
came-meaning hand-to-hand
f1ghting-they Immediately quit
crying. It seemed to steel them,
and they quietly fixed bayonets.
A Chinese called out in Eng
lish, asking us to surrender.
Maj. Mclaughlin asked the
men what they wanted to do.
II am willing to stand here
and die if you want" he said.
"You are not going to live for
ever. There is no ammunition
and no help coming"
The men took about five min
utes to talk it over, they voted
to surrender if the Chinese would
promise to leave the wounded to
be picked up by Americans later.
The Chinese agreed. They were
combat-WiSe veterans and so far
as I could determine, they kept
their promise.
We wrapped the wounded as
best we could in sleeping bags
and blankets and then surren-
dered.
Most of the next day we were
kept standing on a frozen creek
beneath a cliff to avoid detection
by American planes. We had
started on living hell.
Life of Torture Begins.
We hiked for months after
that. Finally, after about 700
miles of seemingly aimless wan
dering, our captors took us to
Prison Camp No. 5, outside of
Pyoktong, on the Yalu River.
There began for all of us a life
of starvation, torture, illness and
OF course, death for many.
Now I have survived and am
free again. My wife met me here
in Toyko. We have an air-con-
ditioned room in the Imperial

I am an out-patient of the
Tokyo Army Hospital. I have
just had eight teeth extracted,
and am to go on until all are re-

For lunch I had scrambled

any one had told me I could eat

General Assembly to consider at
it's next session law to make
it illegal to abandon old ice
boxes that might become death
traps for children.
The resolution was brought
about by the recent deaths of
four Richmond youngsters who
died when they locked them
selves in an old box and by
similar accidents in other
States.
At the same time individual
legionnaires began collecting
money for the w. w. Blackstock

81 Months in Captivity
The Bitter Life of q Prisoner
In Korea Told by Frank Noel

Besides the two that I saw, I
heard from reliable sources-Ko-
reans who hate Communism-of
at least three other Russians
who were shot down in combat
early this year.
There were many other Rus
slams engaged in the Korean
war.
I saw Russian truck drivers,
Russian engineers, Russian in
telligence agents, and a head
quarters that the Russians main
tanned in Chonchong.
The Russian language is
taught as the second language
in North Korean schools.
I know seven American air
men-six officers and a sergeant
who were questioned by Rus
slams after their capture. One
of them, a captain, lost two
teeth when a brutal Russian
intelligence officer knocked him
down.
1t was about a year ago that I
first saw a Russian flyer. After
I was permitted to take a few
pictures in prison, the Ccmmun-
lists kept me away from the other
prisoners.
On this occasion, I was sit
ting beside a road, enjoying the
warm sun and pretending to
read one of the Communist prop
aganda books.
A jeep came along. In it was a
Russian flyer in uniform. The
side of his face was bleeding.
He apparently had been injured
when he was shot down. I was
about 10 feet from him and
could not have been mistaken.
The second Russian pilot that
saw was about two months
later. He too had been shot down
by an American Sabre.
When I was in Chonchong on
a picture-making trip, I saw the
Russian headquarters.
These are some of the things
I saw and experienced in the
long months of captivity.
Mans Great Endurance.
One of the things I have
learned at my present age, 48,
is that a man can endure almost
anything.
The facts of my capture are
pretty well known. 1t was on
the road between Koto and
Hagaru, on the coldest night of
my memory.
The Reds trapped us Novem-
ber %, 1850, and we were taken
prisoner next day, November
80. The date is not important.
1t was a long time before any
of us remembered it.
I was with some American
Marines, British Marines and
Infantry of the United States
Army's I'd Division. They were
going up to help the 7th Marine
Regiment. which had left a
short time before to replenish
my film.
I was riding in a jeep with
Maj. John j. Mclaughlin of
Savannah, Ca, and 1t. Frank
Cold of Tampa, Fla, when the
Reds ambushed us on a narrow
road.
We were pinned down all night
behind a railroad embankment
which offered scanty cover. Fifty
or so men were killed and about
the same number wounded. The
guns froze and the ammunition

A loud financial alarm bell
rung by Budget Director Joseph
Dodge was heard in public last
week, a month after Mr.. Dodge
rang 1t for Government bosses
only.
AS if conjured by Mr.. Dodge's
economy order, which had a
back-to-the-wall tone, Beardsley
Ruml appeared on the Washing
ton scene with suggestions for
balancing the budget that
would revolutionize Government
finances.
Portly Beardsley Ruml was a
man to reckon with, because ne
once before stepped out of his
businessman setting and brought
to Washington an idea that
made history. This was his sug-
geStion, adopted by Congress in
1943, that wage and salary earn
erS' income taxes be deducted
from paychecks through the year.
RumI's Newest Plan.
This time. Mr.. Ruml suggested
to the House Ways and Means
Committee getting rid of about
Sc billion annual expenditures by
creating Government-controlled
but privately financed corpora
tions to carry on Government
busineSs-type projects. He also
recommended wiping out 81 bill
lion apparent" annual deficit by
bookkeeping changes. He said his
changes also should result in saw
ings of about 50 billions a year,
through greater efficiency. It
added up to taking $12 billion
a year out of the Federal spend
ing column.
The grmneSs of Mr.. Dodge's
economy call suggested that the
new administrations efforts to
balance the budget may have
run into difficulties so for
midable that only a new ap-
proach could solve them. His
order was dated July 8. Textual
copies of the confidential order
to all Government chiefs fell
into newsmen's hands last week.
Discussing his budget sugges-
tions, Mr.. Ruml told newsmen
he does not think it is possible
to balance the Governments in
come and outgo under the pres
ent system without taxation so
high it would brake business &C
tivity and cause depression.
Administration officials would
not comment on Mr.. Ruml's sug-
gestions. but they indicated they
were not ignoring them. The
Treasury has studies under way
looking toward proposals to Con-
gress in January for a complete
overhaul of the Nations tax SyS-
tenn. The fact that Mr.. Ruml
has been prominent in Demo-
cratic Party affairs would not
hurt his proposals. Congress is
so closely divided that any such
plan would need support from
both sides of the aisle.
Mr.. Dodge's order added up
to leaving big spending and
employment holes to be filled by
private industry. It spelled re-
ductions as sharp as he can get
in Government orders to busi-
ness.
Behind this lay the fiscal 1853
deficit, which. at $3,389, 900, 900,
was $3.5 billion bigger than an
ticipated. That was largely the
result of over-estimated tax re-
ceipts. 1t threw scare into
Mr. Dodge and other planners
because they have no assurance
present estimates may not be
off just as much, or more.
Also behind it was the evident
reluctance of Congress to post
pone tax cuts now scheduled for
next year. These cuts add up
Evening star., 1953-08-17
RumFs Plan Is Taken Seriously
As Economy Problems Mount

to estimated revenue losses to
the Government of So billion in
a full fiscal year. If spending
and income remained the same
in the coming fiscal year as at
present, the deficit would be
about the same as projected for
this year-between $5 and So
billion. But if taxes fall of So
billion, the deficit in fiscal 1855
would be $13 to $14 billion
Spending would have to be cut
by that huge amount to balance
the budget in fiscal 1855.
So Mr.. Ruml's proposal fol
taking $12 billion out Of the
Governments spending or deficit
record must have sounded good
to Mr.. Dodge. secretary of the
Treasury Humphrey and other
top administration officials
Whether they think/it is feasible
politically or otherwise, and will
adopt the plan, is another mat
ter.
Mr.. Ruml said the Government
spends So billion a year on cap
ital enterprises such as stock
piling, lending and agricultural
price supports (where the Gov
ernment acquires farm products)
These enterprises he said should
be refunded by bond sales to
private interests, and formed up
as corporations, which would
then do their annual financing
by private borrowing under Gov
ernment policy directives.
The Government spends Sd
billion a year, Mr.. Ruml said, on
investments that could be or
ganized as privately financed
authorities" 0ike the Port OF
New York Authority, supported
by bond sales to the public.)

TOKYO, Aug. 17.-Life as a
prisoner of the. Chinese Com
munists was a thing of doubt
and fear-doubt of what our
captors would do to us next and
fear that an incautious word
might be overheard by some
fellow prisoner who had become
an informer.
There is a strange thing about
all the Communists I have met.

They trust no one-especially
their fellow Communists. Some
how. they managed to instill this
same feeling of distrust into
their prisoners. even though
those prisoners had fought
bravely side by side before be-
ing captured.
Some few men turned inform
ers. Others, in the constant
questioning by the Communists
said things the Communists did
not like.
The Hole for Punishment.
AS a result, lots of us went
into the "hole"-a cell in which
a man could neither stand nor
stretch.

reserved for prisoners the Reds
hated most. When you went
into that hole, you stayed fol
weeks without ever leaving it.

A little food was thrown in once
in a while and a Chinese guard

Many of us spent days. weeks,
months, in the hole. simply as
punishment for not thinking the
way the Communists wanted us
to think.

So far as I know. all of these
Americans were soon returned to

Americans today in Chinese ter

and chose not to come back with

Not all of them, however, are
there of their own volition, I am
sure.

Atomic Energy Plant.

MI. Ruml suggested atomic
energy plants as a type of Gov
eminent capital outlay that
could be shifted to private, in
stead of Government financing.
He left detailed selection to
later study.
In addition to this change in
financing of many Government
costs. Mr.. Ruml suggested going
on the cash, instead of the ad-
miniStrative budget. That means
considering all Government re-
celpts as income whether from
taxes or collections for Govern
ment trusts, like social security.
At present, receipts for the trusts
are held aside, treated as liza
blllties, because the Government
does not own the money, only
holds it in trust.
Like budget reformers for
years, Mr.. Ruml said this is
mere bookkeeping, and, since re-
ceipts for the trusts are running
about $4 billion a year, the de-
f1cit is therefore 81 billion bigger
than it would be if trust receipts
were treated as income. Mr..
Ruml pointed out that the Gov
ernment uses the money anyway
by putting Government bonds
into the trust Golfers and taking
over the cash not needed by the
trusts for operating expenses.
This part of Mr.. Ruml's plan.
at least, is known to have strong
Treasury backing. It has for four
years been a favorite theme of
Marion Folsom, Undersecretary
of the Treasury.
