Tent City Is Erected
AsU. n. Speeds Steps
To Trade Sick p0Ws
BY the Assoeiafsd Press

MUNSAN, Korea, Sunday, April
5.-The promise of Easter un-
folded across Korea today. Med
ical teams drilled for an ex-
pected exchange Of sick and
wounded prisoners of war and
an Allied liaison team made
final preparations for its meet
ing with the Communists to-
morrow which may open the
way to peace.
The hope for peace was born
not only of the revival of Allied
Communist meetings in the tiny
truce village of Panmunjom but
also of the sudden thaw in the
cold war in the big Red capitals
of Moscow and Peiping.
Marines in less than "a hours
built a tent city for receiving
sick and wounded prisoners from
the Communists. It rises in a
four-acre field a half-mile from
the Allied armistice camp in a
MunSan apple orchard.
'COpter Field Cleared.
The surgical, X-ray, laboratory
and hospital tents surround a
square patch of ground cleared
for a helicopter landing field.
Every available helicopter
which could be spared from war
duty was ready to lift sick and
wounded captiveS from Commu-
mist to Allied ground. A fleet of
Army ambulances marked with
large red=.crosses was hand
to speed-the prisoners south
ward.
A sign at the gate of the spark
ling new hospital town pro-
claimed: Freedom Village-the
End Of the Rainbow"
Medical officers promised steak
dinners as the first meal for
those Allied captives who are
able to eat them. For the under
nourished and severely i'll, spe-
cial diets are planned. @
The Allied prisoners in Com
muniSt hands are held in IA

and a hospital, most Of them in

Two other centers sprouted in
the Munsan area. South Korean
and United States Army engi-
neers threw up a second field
hospital for sick and wounded

now in Communist hands.
A 500-foot-long prefabricated
building of corrugated iron was
almost completed a half-mile
north of the Munsan railroad
station. There Allied specialists
will process the Chinese and Red
Korean captives who will be
transported north $50 miles by

Red Attack Shattered
Just Before Easter
Sunrise in Korea
BY The A,.eeintad Pros,

SEOUL. Sunday, April S.
United States and South Ko-
rean troops shattered a COM
pany-sized Red attack and seven
smaller trusts with machine guns
rifles and hand grenadeS just
before Easter sunrise on the Ko-
rean central front.
The Communist company -
about ITS men-attacked near
midnight in two columns. One
hit Christmas Hill and the other
an outpost 900 yards to the
southeast. South Koreans broke
five other Red probes on the
eastern front.
An 9Th Army brief1ng officer
said the Reds slamme dnearly
1000 artillery and mortar shells
against the positions. The Reds
got close enough to feel the sting
of the defenders hand grenade
blasts, he said, but never pene-
trated the allied outpost line.
Celebrate Anniversary.
South Korean President Syng-
man Rhee, 9th Army Commander
1t. Gen. Maxwell D. Taylor and
South Korean Army Chief of
Staff Gen. Paik Sun Yup visited
the Republic of Korea's I'd Army
Corps today on the occasion OF
the corps first anniversary.
In clear weather, allied war
planes kept up their pounding
of North Korean supply centers
and transport lines in rear areas.
Eleven B-29 superforts from
Okinawa last night slammed ITO
ton sof bombs on three supply
areas near the North Korean
capital of Pyongyang. Far East
air forces said crewmen reported
that the bombs touched off or
ange and blue explosions on the
ground.
The 5th Air Force reported its
night-f1ying light bomberS de-
stroyed 81 Red supply trucks,
blew up four road bridges, and
damaged two locomotives in pre-
dawn strikes.
The Easter pounding followed
a series of allied air attacks all
across the Korean peninsula Sat-
urday.
Air Force and Marine fighter
bomberS smashed at two Red
troop and supply centers and
Communist Notifications and
supply lines.
Deadly American sabre jets
scored against four MICS. prob
ably destroying one and damag-
ing three, the 5th Air Force said.
Meanwhile, q. N. Command
representatives made final prep
arationS for tomorrow's start of
prisoner exchange talks that
could bring an armistice in the
34-month-old Korean war.
Marine Corsar f1ghter-bomb-
ers dumped tons of high explo-
sives on Red troop and supply
concentration area 10 miles
northwest OF Kaesong. where the
previous futile peace talks began
July 10, 1851.
Marine Panther jets started
eight large fires at another sup
ply and troop center northwest
of Sariwon.
The 5th Air Force said its
Sabre jets destroyed six MICS,
probably destroyed another one
and damaged eight last week.
The Air Force said no allied
planes were lost in air fighting
during the week but it said
ground fire shot down two and
five were lost to "other causes"

are able to transmit high pro-

is the point at which many dairy

Charlotte county dairymen were
in a favorable position from the
standpoint of markets. At the

the county is being marketed in
Richmond. Norfolk. Washington,
D. c., and Durham. N, c. While
milk can be delivered fairly

Commerce Reduces
It's Budget Estimates
IS Pct, Weeks Says

Secretary Of Commerce Sim
clair Weeks disclosed yesterday
that the Eisenhower admins
tration has made a Is per cent
reduction in the original Com
merce Department budget for
fiscal 1854 submitted by former
President Truman in January.
Mr.. Weeks told his first press
conference that the new admin
iStration is asking Congress for
$685. million as compared with
$1,127.000. 900 requested by Mr..
Truman. He said the reduction
would have been in the neigh
borhood Of 18 per cent except
that he found it necessary to in
crease the Maritime Commits
sion figure from $25 million to
SOS million.
This was necessary, the Sec
rotary said, to enable the Com
mission to catch up on its bills"
for operational subsidies. He
said it will probably be necessary
to ask for about the same
amount in fiscal 1855. Some
bills, he noted. "have been al
lowed to run up for as much as
seven years."
Includes Capital Outlays.

represented cuts affecting per-

Now Two Doctors
Say Spinach May
Undermine Health.
By the Asseeiated Press

LONDON, Mar. 1870 spin
ach is good for kids. is it?
Two medical researchers said
today that far from being a boon
to the young. the stuff may ac-
tually imperil their health.
And Drs. Joan E. Bamji and
N. S. Bamji of London advanced
this theory: 1.-THE intense dis
like Of spinach shown by most
children is natures way of pro-
tecting them from its harmful
effects"
The doctors set forth their
conclusions in a letter to the
British Medical Journal.
They said experiments with
rats show that the oxalic acid in
spinach upsets the body's alb
sorption of calcium. thus leading
to weak bones. The acid also
tends to deposit oxalic acid salts
in the kidneys, damaging those
vital organs.
Spinach raw or cooked, when
added to the diet of dogs which
includes meat, cracker meal and
skinned milk powder" the
Bamjis wrote, produces not only
a greater negative calcium bal
ance but also poor absorption of
nitrogen.
"And yet we know Of con-
scientious mothers who have
forced large quantities of spinach
on their unwilling children day
after day"

Senate Majority Leader Taft

better for the committee to desig-
nate one or two of its own men,
beers to examine the FBI report.
He explained that he had to leave
the meeting to convene the Sen

decided it would not undertake
to do that.
From what he has learned,
Senator Taft said the outcome

same. He said Mr.. Dulles gave q

Nevertheless, Senator McCar-

Mr.. Perlman asserted that the
