US. Soldier Tells How Reds Machine-Gunned 800 Wounded Americans

TOKYO, R-A repatriated Am erican soldier today said Chinese troops ruthlessly sprayed 40 truck loads of wounded U. s. soldiers with burp guns, killing most of the nearly 800 helpless screaming men.
 Then the Reds bayonetted many of the survivors, Pfc. Fully Cox, 20, of Altoona, Ala, told news men in Tokyo Army hospital.
 Cox, double amputee, was ask ed if he considered the mass ma chine gunning premeditated mur- der.
 ''That is what you'd call it,' he said quietly. r. Cox was with the 32nd Regi- ment of the Seventh Division dur ing retreat through hordes of Chinese Reds on Dec. g, 1850. He was one of about 20 men guarding the 40truck convoy of wounded.
 There were about 20 wounded to each truck. We were trying to get them out to Hamhung, where the evacuation fleet was await ing" he said.
 The convoy ran into a Chinese road block and was overwhelmed. Cox was wounded.
 "Then the Chinese climbed up on the trucks and sprayed burp guns into the wounded. Then they bayonetted them"

Signs of Imminent
 Break In DeadlOcked Korean ArmiStice Talks

TOKYO, R-There were signs today that a break might be inn minent in the deadlocked armis- tice talks at Panmunjom.
 After three days of no progress the Communists indicated they were getting ready to nominate their choice for a neutral nation.
 And President Syngman Rhee of South Korea said he would agree to send to the neutral nation some 15,0OO Chinese who have re- jected Communism.
 Most observers predict that once the Communists and United Nations Command get together on a neutral nation to administer further screening of 50,OOO Chi nese and North Korean prisoners who have refused repatriation, the rest will be easy.

Calls For $5,SO!O,OO ,OOO In Foreign Aid Funds

WASHINGTON, R-The Eisen- hover administration is reported drafting a foreign aid budget call ing for about S5,8OO,OOO,OOO in new money from Congress for the next fiscal year. Former Presi- dent Truman had suggested at least S7,6OO,OOO,OOO.
 Officials who disclosed this to- day said the National Security Council tentatively approved a program of this size at a White House meeting yesterday. A few hours earlier, these same officials had said the figure would be be- tween S6,100,00O,000 and $6,300,- O0O,000 but the specific amount was yet to be determined.
 In conferences which lasted late into last night, the amount ap- parently was scaled down to around S5,8OO, 100000. Foreign aid director Harold Stassen apparent ly lost a last-ditch fight in favor of the bigger amounts because of the administration determination to economize in foreign aid spend ing.

U. s. Citizen Deplores Lack of Understanding Between US. and Canada

SPOKANE, R - The lack of understanding between the people of the United States and Canada is "one of the great tragedies of history" the President of the Pacific Northwest Trade Associ- ation said yesterday.
 Ralph D. Baker, a United States citizen who has lived in Vancou- yer, B.C., for the past 15 years, spoke at a Chamber of Commerce meeting here.
 Canadians want to be better understood" he said.
 Baker cited a recent incident in which he said an American alum mum company irritated Canad- ians in announcing it planned to use British Columbia w ter to create power-generating facilities near Skagway, Alaska.
 The company failed to consult with Canadians or their govern ment before making the an- nouncement, he said "let alone secure prior approval and per mission.''

India May Be Named As Nation To Take Reds Rejecting Repatriation

M U N s A N, R - Communist truce negotiators suggested We'd nesday that 50,000, Allied held war prisoners who do not want to go home be sent to an un- named neutral nation in Asia. The Reds also agreed to bargain on the time needed to determine their future.
 T think we made some pro- gress,' said It. Gen. William K. Harrison, chief LIN. negotiator. At least they are not adamant on the time prisoners are to be held in custody"
 While the Communists did not name neutral, there was un- official reports the Reds would nominate India. Observers pre- dicted LIN. negotiators would agree. The Communists have re- jected Switzerland as neutral.

About Proposed Special Session Of Legislature
By JIM HUTCHINSON AP Legislative Correspondent

AP LeSlSldIlVe correspondent
 Proposals for increased Alaskan highway use" taxes, which have caused the furry of special legis- lative session talk in recent days, came before the 1853 Legislature in four separate bills.
 None of them got to first base.
 The Legislature stuck to the mo tax increases" policy which several leaders espoused.
 The proposals have gained new prominence now because of two suggestions for a special session for the purpose of raising gaso- line taxes or truck license fees, or both.
 There has been no indication that Governor Heintzleman has any intention of calling a special session on the gas and/or truck tax issue.
 The few legislators who have commented on the proposal view ed it with caution or skepticism.
 The proposals stem from the House Appropriations Committee cut of federal funds for Alaska highways to 10 million dollars from the proposed IS million of the Truman budget and the IA million proposed in the Eisen- hover administration revision. The House yesterday went along with the committee slash.
 One special session proposal came from the Central Alaska Council of Community Clubs in the Anchorage area.
 The one that drew top attention was by an Iowa Republican con- gressman who sits in a key spot. Congressional Delegate Bartlett quoted Rep. Ben Jensen of Iowa, chairman of the subcommittee on Interior Dept. appropriations, as proposing the special Alaska leg islative action if the territory wants to get more federal funds.
 During the 1853 legislature, A. F. Ghiglione, head of the Alaska Road Commission, predicted Jen- sen might give the Alaska high way funds rough ride. He said Jensen had stressed at previous hearings that Alaska should levy truck fees and gas taxes more in line with the states.
 Governor Gruening also re- commended a motor fuel tax boost
 Trucking industry representa- lives protested that the trucking business already was in a pre- carious position because of com petition from the government railroad, high initial costs in Alas ka and rapid wearing out of trucks and tires under northern driving conditions.

Fairbanks Agent Plugs for Tourism Before Chamber

Everett Patton, representative of the American Society of Tour Agents and operator of Fairbanks tours which take the visitors to that city on a three and a half hour trip through Fairbanks, the university and museum, spark plugged the noon luncheon of the Chamber of Commerce yesterday | with his vision of the future of the tourist industry in Alaska.
 He firmly believes that tourism is a new business, big business, new industry that will grow and grow and some day in the very near future, exceed the gold in- dustry and even exceed tourist industry as developed in Hawaii. Already, he stated, it is a multi million dollar industry in Alaska with strikes as the biggest thorn in it's side
 He showed how one planned tour alone last summer, during the tourist season, cancelled due to the strike, caused refunds to be made totalling S56,O0O..
 There are many things to be done to build the industry but they cannot be done overnight. One of the main things to do is to have the visitors leave with a feeling that "they have seen an empire growing"
 Nome's History Preserved
 He advocated that every shred of Nome's colorful history should be preserved and handed down to the tourist as he sees it from his bus window. Every landmark should be preserved for its his torical value. For example, he recommended that one of the old locomotives of the early-day rail road should be preserved and used as part of the tourist dis play; the legend of Tex Rick ard and Rex Beach exemplified in some way; an exhibit available for those interested and also a bulletin of service organizations with information of when and where they meet.
 He showed that the average tourist to Alaska is a tourist of means, as travelling in Alaska is 30 per cent higher than in Eu- rope and these people demand better facilities. However, as the volume grows, the tourist will get more for his money.
 Patton praised Wien Airlines for having done more to further the industry than any other air line inasmuch that they have SUD- piled not only the planes but the entertainment and even housing where necessary.
 Patton speaks not only as a | businessman but as an Alaskan who grew up in Fairbanks and Seward where his father was pas tor of an early Methodist church. His enthusiasm brought a hearty response from the Chamber mem bers present.

Dissolved Group
Fights Registration
As Communist Front

The Subversive Activities Con-
troll Board today is studying the
question of whether the Internal
Security Act requires registration
Of a Communist-front organiza-
ton even if the organization has
dissolved.
The issue arose yesterday in
argument over a petition filed
by Attorney General Brownell
against the Committee for a
Democratic Far Eastern Policy
citing the New York-based COM
mittee as a Communist-front
group. David Rein of New York,
acting as attorney for Maude
Russell, former executive secre-
tary of the committee, offered to
present evidence showing that
the committee formally dis
solved in September, 1852.
Mr.. Rein argued that since the
act applies to registered organ
izations, only those which are
active can comply with it.
Il don't see how you can order
the registration of an organiza-
ton that has gone out of bust
ness" he observed.
Assistant Attorney General
Clifford Nelson argued that the
internal security act went into
effect on September %, 1850,
and therefore 1.-The obligation
which began then as regards this
committee has not been ex-
tinguished by anything the COM
mittee has done since"
IF pro form a dissolution of
an organization can gain it ex-
emption from registration" Mr..
Nelson said, then it can make
the act nullity."
Both Mr.. Nelson and Mr.. Rein
asked for additional time to OBJ
tain information on court deci-
sions bearing on the point, and
Board Chairman Thomas Her.
bert gave then until July % to
present further evidence,

THE SALESGIRL didn't bat an eye
L. when the harried husband rushed
into a room full of women and self
consciously asked:
I'D like to buy a homogenized
dress"
Realizing he'd gotten his milk and
merchandise mixed, she smiled and
replied Il think you want Sanforized
dress, sir" The customer laughed and
agreed he must have made a mistake.
And with the salesgirl's help. he was
able to present to his wife the dress she
wanted
The moral is that an alert employe

strongly criticized by some for
saying the group might hunt for
Communists among clergymen,

Pamphlet Is Cited.
Representative Scherer, Re-
publican, of Ohio introduced a
pamphlet attacking the commit
tee which he said was issued by
the Citizens Committee to Pro-
tect American Freedom, headed
by the Rev. A. A. Heist.
Mr.. Scherer quoted the PAM
phlet, Courage is Contagious"
as saying in part: "(Congres-
SionaD committee members can
and do SANDER witnesses with
impunity, secure in the knoWl-
edge that there can be no retail

After hearing further excerpts,
Representative Walter, Republi-
can of Pennsylvania, suggested
the minister be invited to testify.
Would Refuse to Testify.
The Rev. Heist, contacted by
newsmen at his home in nearby
Huntington Park, said that if
subpoenaed he would refuse to
testify. 1T would seem from this
that the committee is interested
