from us I hope our experience
will be valuable to the Defense
Department in preparing our
people for the future. We are
up against a propaganda team
and we've got to learn how to
fight fire with fire."
1t. Wright, who spent nearly.
the entire Korean war in Red
prison camp, plans a Pacific
honeymoon-but his wife doesn't
know about it.
1t. Wright said he married his
wife, Laura, of Falls Church, Va,
in July. 1850, shortly before he
was sent overseas. He was cap
tured while on duty with the 1st
Cavalry Division on November 2,
1850.
The young officer said he
wanted to surprise his wife with
the honeymoon destination, but
he whispered to reporters that f.
would be Hawaii.
eve never had time for one be-
FORE" he said.
1t. Wright declined to COM
ment on his Imprisonment, ex-
cept to say the worst part was
being away from my wife"
He is the son of Mrs. Alice B.
Wright, of Arlington.
1t. Wood told reporters that at
least so per cent of the American
prisoners in his Stockade died of
malnutrition and lack of medi-
cal care.
"That's a low estimate" 1t.
Wood said.
"The bad conditions, with at
temptS of Red indoctrination,
completely demoralized every
one," he said.
Nearly Three Years as POW.
1t. Wood said his two years
and 10 months of captivity be-
gan when he was captured during
the U. N. offensive the first au-
tumn Of the war.
"We didn't know at that time
there was large Chinese force
up against u.s." he related. There
were just too many"
Shortly after he arrived in San
Francisco. 1t. Wood called his
wife in Washington. Mrs. Wood
told The Star her husband said
he felt fine.
There wasn't much to say"
Mrs. Wood commented. 1--WE are
just happy that he is back"
Maj. Beswick was repatriated
on the last day of prisoner ex-
changes. He was captured in
May, 1851, after he bailed out
of his plane when it was hit by
anti-aircraft flax over North
Korea. When he was shot down
he suffered face, leg and arm
burns.
Earlier in the Korean war, he
had taken leading part in bat
tering Communist troop and
supply centerS. He led the
Marine fight of four planes from
the Death Rattler" Squadron.
Maj. Beswick's father talked
to his son this morning and
reported he was "in pretty good
spirits"
He said Maj. Beswick said he
had been treated very we'll"
during the last four or five
months of his captivity. He ex-
poets to be in San Francisco
about a week for a medical
checkup, and then will be as
signed to a hospital for 80 days
recuperation, probably at Ell
'Toro, Calf.
He expects to come East to
visit his parents as soon as he
can after leaving the hospital,
his father said.
Tripp Looks Healthy.
Sergt. Tripp smiled easily as
he debarked from the troop ship
in spite of the 33 months he
spent as a prisoner of the Com
munists.
He said his captivity was
pretty rough all along" but he
looked healthy and relaxed when
he arrived in San Francisco.
The only thing wrong with
him, he said, is a little trouble
with his teeth. which he expects
to have corrected at his next
duty station, Fort Meade, Md.
Sergt. Tripp was not the first
off the transport. but he was
the first man through the proc
essing line in about an hour after
the ship docked.

Diamond Ball GIitterings
BY Casey

What to do about women is
the Oldest cultural problem in the
world. What women do about
the worlds problems is demon
strated daily. And so with the
spectacular DIAMOND BALL.
It's women like your club
presidents who have built up a
following over the years who
make projects like the DIAMOND
BALL a success. It's people like
members of the Club Assembly
of Greater Boston who get ideas;
/. it's folks like Mrs. Rachel
A. Saunders of II Hammond ST.,
Roxbury, President of the Mass.
State Union representing 80
women's clubs, that help carry
them out. It's members in or
ganizations like this that make
things click (not clique). They
know the fellow in the White
House the woman on the
street and the man behind
the gun. In Metropolitan, Co.'S
mopolitan ventures like this, NO
ONE can sit high and look low.
They know how to get folks out.
They've been doing it for years.
Their work includes everybody
regardless of CLASS, COLOR,
SOCIAL, or ECONOMIC STAND
ING. They work with the people
because they love people and
believe in the brotherhood Of
man. They'll be there at the
DIAMOND BALL resplendent in
all their glory with all their sup
porters looking like a million
dollars.
:. THE PRESIDENTS MARCH
will be a GRAND MARCH be-
cause the presidents and their
followers are GRAND people.

Washington State Prison Riot Ends, Weapons Found

MONROE, Wash, R - Sullen and hungry, 150 rebellious in- mates were to be returned to their cells Saturday after being kept at bay by gunpoint in the Washing ton State Reformatory yard since thier wild riot Thursday night
 The men, most of them young criminals, remained herded to- gether on the reformatory's base ball diamond while a meticulous search was made of all buildings and cells for hidden weapons.
 Supt. Paul J. Squier said the shakedown was completed and turned up a varied collection of files, homemade knives, pipes and knives footed from the reforma- tory kitchen when the torch was put to five buildings during the riot.
 Two bursts of eight shots each from a guards tommy gun were fired over the heads of some of the still-defiant rioters Friday night as they headed for the burned out cannery, presumably to seek food.
 Squier said the gunfire twas strictly a warning" and the riot CTS were in no danger. One man was killed and three wounded during the riot two nights ago when, the guards said, a group tried to rush the gates.

Returning POWs Too III To Rejoice In 18th Exchange

PANMUNJOM, tR - Hobbling and stretcher-borne American and Canadian soldiers-some still suf- fering from recent battle wounds were liberated here Saturday as the Reds made the first three de- liveries from three more North Korean stockades.
 Many of the 94 Americans and 43 other non-Korean repatriates of the 18th daily exchange were white-faced, bandaged and too i'll to rejoice, in grim contrast to the rollicking British Commonwealth and U. s. returnees of previous days.
 An American Marine, Cpl. Stew en E. Drumnond, said some of the Americans came from Camp No. g, near Kanggye. He said it held only men captured in the last five months of the war. This indicated they apparently still were recov- ering from battle wounds.
 A report that captured Japa- nese-American soldiers from Ha- waii and at least one US. officer were tortured by the Reds in an effort to obtain military informa- ton about the big Pearl Harbor naval base was told by one re- patriate.
 Two other Americans said Mai. Gen. William F. Dean, highest ranking Red-held captive, is in prison camp deep in North Korea with other officers and will be among the last returned. The Reds so far have repatriated a mere handful of American officers.
 Some of the captives returned by the Reds Saturday who had been taken prisoner recently told of good medical care at Commun- ist frontline aid stations in re- cent months.
 However, the men who had spent months and years in Com- munist captivity told the familiar stories of Red harshness and bru- tality.

WHAT ARE WE FIGHTING 1?
Christian Science Monitor

A statement by Dr. Youn Chan Yang, South Ko- Ambassador to the United States, lately had all the earnlarks of challenge, almost goad.
 He said at a press conference, If you feel you can't fight Communism any more, then don't stop us from fighting and give us the help we need''
 The ambassadors words were of a kind to prick American pride, tug at an American desire, and echo the mpatence of some Americans. To analyze the challenge may help in the United States to deter mine just what and why they have been fighting in Korea and what they morally committed to accom- plish
 Is it true that the western world has simply been fighting Communism in Korea? In sense the action there has been very important resistance, set back, to Communism. But let go back to that tragic Sunday, June 25 1850, and the days immediately fol- lowing.
 Did we of the United States and the United Nations take against the invaders from North Korea simply because they Communists? No, the IN. supported South Korea because the invasion was an of aggression, studied breach of the peace the JUN. Charter was framed to protect and it in the longrun interest of peacelovng nations to resist ag gresson whether it came from Communists, Fascists, Saracens, Conqustadors, Martians or bushnen.

WHIPPING OR SHOOT DIVE KILLED 5-YEAR-OLD GIRL.

PARTON SPRINGS, Fla, CR- Russell Tongay came to this Flor ida west coast town Saturday to bury his five-year-old swim-star daughter, Kathy. Miami police charged Kathy died as the result of a whipping but he insists she died as the result of an "unfor- tunate accident"
 Tongay denied he had beaten Kathy, as charged. He said he had given full details to Miami police that Kathy was injured while practicing high dives from a 33- foot springboard a few hours be- fore she died in convulsions.
