U.S.. Officials to Wait and See
If Any GIs Teach Communism

among released American prison

others swallowed the Commu-
mist line.
The spokesman said Army in
telligence officers will interview
all the exchanged captives as a
matter of course. but without
any attempt to segregate those
who appear to have accepted
the heavy doses of Red propa-
ganda.
Must Settle Doubts.
The voyage home is counted
upon by the Army to strengthen
the men physically as we'll as to
clear their minds of any Commu-
mist notions.
AS to the possibility that some
of them may have agreed to serve
as Communist agents. a spokes-
man said the Army would take
no action before settling all
doubt on that score.
One freed American told a
story at Freedom Village yester-
day of a group of 80 repatriates
from a prison camp on the Yalu
River who intended to preach
communism in the United States.
Others said some prisoners had
played along" with the Reds to
get better treatment. so that it
was difficult to distinguish be-
tween those who simply took the
course OF least resistance and
those who may have seriously
embraced communism.

st. Laurent Halls Vote.
In 1949 the Liberals won 1913
seats for the greatest majority in
history. The Conservatives won
Al, the CCF Is and the Social
Creditors 10.
Mr.. st. Laurent hailed the re-
suit as showing Canada has the
kind of government it wants. He
called the returns "a hearten-
ing expression of confidence"
The 71-ear-old Uncle Louis"
conducted his own kind of cam
paign. I'm running on per-
Torrance, not promises" he
said.
That was good enough to
make history again. Never be-
fore had a party won five con-
secutive times in Canadian cleo
tions. The Conservatives won
four times between 1878 and
1896, after which the Liberals
took four in a row.
Liberals Have Power 90 Years.
The present-day Liberals have
been in power since 1885, first
under w. L. Mackenzie King,
and since 1948 under Mr.. St.
Laurent. With the four to five
years added by yesterdays cleo
ton, they will run their tenure
to % years.
The Conservatives now have
failed to win a Canadian cleo
ton since 1880. They tried yes
terday under the same leader
who lost in 1949-George Drew,
former premier of Ontario. His
hopes of being Prime Minister
we're as good as lost in mid
campaign. Some Conservative
candidates, as if to pull away
from Drew ties, never mentioned
him in their speeches.
Mr.. Drew and the national
Conservative leadership failed to
find an issue to fire the imagi-
nation. They promised lower
taxes and a more efficient gov
ernment-but about half the
voters decided to continue to
depend on Mr.. st. Laurent.
The national popular vote was
not a factor in counting the re-
suits, which were on a district
basis, but the Liberals total was
almost exactly so per cent and
virtually equal to 1949's ratio.
They had the heaviest popular
vote IN eight of 10 provinces
with Saskatchewan going to the
CCF and Alberta to the Social
Creditors.
