Reds May Return More POWs Than Allies Expect
By ROBERT B. TUcKMAN

MUNSAN, R Limited Nations iaison officers Monday proposed a quick exchange of sick and wounded seven days after agree ment is reached on procedure and the Communists offered a plan which might return far more AL lied prisoners than expected.
 The LIN. Command at the first meeting of liaison officers at Pan munjom also announced they were ready to return prisoners at the rate of 800 3 day.
 The number of prisoners on both sides who would be returned was not known. But LIN. Con- mand officers wondered if the Communists were offering to ex- change those prisoners who are so slightly disabled that they would be ineligible for repatria- ton now under the Geneva Con- vention.

CONGRESS GROUP GETS
 l3,ooo TAX SUGGESTIONS

WASHINGTON, R - If you want to know about taxes, ask the man who pays them.
 On that theory, the joint Sen ate-House committee on taxation sent out questionnaires to every state in the Union. Results, with more still coming in: 13,0OO sug- gestions from 5000 individuals.
 The questionnaires were in gen. eral agreement on one thing: that taxes are too high.

 Swiftly-moving justice brought the 18- year old AWOL Marine back to New York State from Iowa eight days after the death of William A. Braverman, 19- yeaf-old Hobart College freshman.
 Still near him was the 16-year- old bobby soxer he calls his wife Diane Marie Weggeland, a ward of Monroe County Children's Court.

JUN. Reports
 Progress In First Meeting with Reds

MUNSAN, R - United Nations liaison officers reported distinct progress" with "very objective Reds today in their first meeting to work out a quick exchange of sick and wounded prisoners of war.
 If a trade goes smoothly it could pave the way for an armis- tice in Korea.
 The JUN. liaison group handed their Communist opposite num- bers at the 48-minute session to- day a nine point program that, among other things, called for ex- change to begin within seven days after agreement on procedure.
 The JUN. also asked the Reds for the number of Allied prison CTS they are willing to. return. The Reds said they would supply the number but they took no ac- ton immediately on the U. N. nine-point plan.
 Rear Admiral John C. Daniel, chief U.N. liaison officer, said of today's meeting:
 "The attitude of the Commun- ists was very objective. I'd say distinct progress was made in that we met and exchanged views. I feel that we have made progress"
 But the Reds raised two points that were not fully explained.
 North Korean Maj. Gen. Lee Sang Cho said that before the Reds supplied the number of AL lied POWs to be returned both sides must establish the category of prisoners who may be exchang- ed before an armistice" U.N. of- ficers said he did not explain what he meant.
 The Reds also indicated they may want some prisoners returned to their homeland and some sent to neutral countries. There was no elaboration on that.
 The Allies have assumed that all disabled prisoners would be sent back to their own countries as a matter of course-providing the prisoners themselves want it that way.

Atomic Device
 Exploded 5000 Ft. Over Yucca Flat

LAS VEGAS, Nev., R-A high altitude atomic bomb flashed over the Yucca Flat proving ground northwest of here today, while 30 planes circled nearby and two jet droneS carried mice and monkeys into the quick-forming cloud.
 The sound wave hit this resort town, 75 miles away, with a sharp crack reminiscent of the window breaking early atomic tests, but there were no reports of damage today.
 The bomb was exploded at an altitude of more than 5000 fleet, the Atomic Energy Commission announced afterwards.
 The size of the cloud, which boiled up within three minutes, and the force of the shock felt here gave indication that its power may have been greater than normal, or that the height of the explosion increased it's ef- feet.
 This was borne out when the Civil Aeronautics Administration ordered vast area of about 10000 square miles-bounded by Las Vegas, Yuma and Nogales, Ariz., and Albuquerque, N. M, closed to air traffic above 24,O00 feet for six hours after the blast.
 The jet drones, each carrying 50 mice and two monkeys, pene- trated the cloud at 30,000 feet and landed at Indian Springs Air Base 20 minutes after the blast, the AEC announced. It had no immediate statement on the con- dition of the animals.
 Mice and monkeys have been used in previous tests here this year, but results of tests with them have not been made public.
 The Air Force said earlier that as many as "A planes would be in the air at the same time dur ing one of this springs tests. But it put the figure at 82 after this mornings blast. Among them were 12 giant BAY jet bombers.

SchIundt Sets Pace
As Indiana Heads for
First Undisputed Title
BY the Assoeioied Press

NEW YORK, Jan. 20.-Indiana
University still has 10 league
games to play, but the Hoosiers
today appear headed for their
first undisputed Big Ten bas-
ketball title.
Sporting an 30 conference
record, Indiana holds a two
game lead over Illinois and is
showing no signs of letting up.
The Hoosiers, spanked by Don
Schlundt's 26 points, whipped
Purdue last night, 88-75, to keep
the pressure on Illinois.
The Illini, however, kept pace
with a 1864 victory over Mich
igan State.
1t seems hard to believe that
Indiana never has won the
championship outright, since
that State is known as basket
ball "hotbed." But the best the
Hoosiers have been able to do is
tie-and they did that in 1926,
1928 and 1896.
Schlundt Leads Conference.
But the Hoosiers figure to be
hard to stop this time. Schlundt
took over the Big Ten scoring
lead last night from Ohio States
Paul Ebert, who was held to IA
points as the Buckeyes lost to
Wisconsin, 64-51.
Schlundt has 246 points for a
22.4 average. while Ebert has ZIG
for 21.6.
If Sch1undt goes on to cap
ture the scoring crown, he'll be
only the second player in In
diana's history to do so. The
other was Branch McCracken-
the Hoosier's current coach--who
did it in 1880.
az Points on Fouls.
Indiana beat Purdue on the
foul line last night. The Hoosiers
Gagged AZ of 81 free tosses, break
ing the Big Ten record of 40
set by Wisconsin only two weeks
ago,
Purdue, last in the league
standings, trailed only by three
points at intermission-41 to 38
but faded in the second half
as Indiana's overall strength
started to tell.
At East Lansing, John Kerr
led the Illini to victory with %
points. After being tied, 1886,
Illinois slowly pulled away from
Michigan State to register its
sixth league win in eight starts.
In the other Big Ten game
Iowa squeaked past Northwest
ern, 69-68, as Ken Buckles
scored % points for the winners.
In the Big Seven Conference,
Nebraska upset Missouri, 1852,
with Willard Fagler's sparkling
reboundlng and shooting keep

foot-5 one hand specialist,

Notre Dame Spurt Wins.

pull away and trim Bradley, IA

Notre Dame led, 49-48. In the

pointed Bradley, 1912, to sew up
the game.
Louisiana State took a firmer

ference lead by trimming
