a nucleus of pros CProgres-
sives'D who had fallen for the
Red propaganda.
Quite a few of the pros were
young men but they were more
than that; they were just plain
stupid"
Another sergeant, Edward M.
McClain, %, of Bascom, Fla,
emphasized that it was the Chi
nese Reds who practiced indoc-
trinatlon.
"The North Koreans did not
try indoctrination or propagan-
da," he said.
"They just beat us up, starved
US, left us without medical care
and sometimes left us to freeze
to death.
"But the Chinese tried to force
propaganda down our throats.
"The way it turned out for
some men-those who fell for it
| i am not sure which was the
worse"
He Learned to Hate.
A young corporal, George A.
Cooper, 21, of East st. Louis, ILL.,,
best summed up the feelings of
the men who came back today.
Asked if he learned anything
worthwhile in prison camp,
Corpl. Cooper, a prisoner for
3712 months, answered:
Il learned to hate"
The only Marine from the
Camp 3 sergeants' compound,
M/Sergt. Frederick j. Stumpges,
80, Sheboygan, Wis, was cap
tured at Corregidor in World
War II and was a prisoner of
the japanese for three years
and five months.
ASKED TO compare japanese
prison life with his 33 months as
a prisoner of the Chinese Reds,
Sergt. Stumpges said:
Il hate to admit it but the
food was better this time. Ply
sically the Chinese did not mis-
treat their prisoners like the
Japanese did but the mental
strain was much greater"
Sergt. William A. Stone, Is,
Wichita Falls, Tex, captive
of the Reds for 33 months,
brought back his North Korean
dog Spike" from Camp 3. He
bought the white and tan mutt
from a Korean eight months ago
in exchange for an old pair of
tennis shoes.

Freed POW Tells
OF Seeing One Line
OF Wife's Letters
By the A.seeioted Pros,

FREEDOM VILLAGE, Korea,
Aug. 29.-In all the long months
he was a Communist prisoner
since July IA, 1850, M/Sergt.
Fisher Watkins got to see only
one of the letters his wife wrote
and then only one line of that.
The st. Louis man, released
today, said the Reds called him
and his wife "warmongers" and
let him see one sentence she
wrote. It was:
President Truman wasn't
afraid to drop the A-bomb on
such people as the Chinese"

Assoeioted Press Foreign Correspondents
FREEDOM VILLAGE, Korea,
Aug. 29.-Tough sergeants cap
tured early in the Korean war
reached Freedom Village today
unbent by three years impriSon-
ment under the Communists.
The sergeants had nothing but
contempt and hate for the Chi
nese and North Koreans.
Typical of their undaunted
spirit was 37-year-old M/Sergt.
Fisher Watkins of st. Louis.
Sergt. Watkins said his captors
"pistol-whipped me but didn't
knock me down-they couldn't
hit you that hard"
He was captured July IA, 1850,
while his oath Division fought a
delaying action against the North
Koreans.
"They didn't know how to
fight" he said. They just
swarmed over you-they had us
outnumbered about so to l."
Watkins was 1 of 81 sergeants
confined in special company in
Camp 3.
Resisted IndOctrinatiOn.
He said the 81 sergeants stuck
together and resisted Red at
tempts to indoctrinate them at
every turn. They also gave moral
support to the younger soldiers.
They'd work on the young
kids" Sergt. Watkins said, but
we'd tell 'em what the score
was. 1 think we helped the
kids"
There was one Marine in the
sergeants' group. M/Sergt. Fred
erick J. Stumpges, SO, who has
spent nearly seven of his ID
years in the Marines Corps as
prisoner of war.
Sergt. Stumpges was captured
during World War II by the
japanese on Corregidor and was
in prison camps in the Philip
pines and Japan for three years
and five months. The Chinese
captured him November 80, 1850,
near Koto in Northeast Korea.
The Sheboygan, Wis, Marine
said today after his release:
Il swore that 1 would never
be taken alive again-it was a
letdown when I realized 1 was
captured"
A bullet had creased his right
temple and split his right ear.
They had to pick me up this
time" he said.
Several in Death March.
Several of the sergeants made
the Infamous death march" un-
der the North Korean called
"the Tiger"
They gave this description of
him: About 5 feet 8, sharp, un-
smiling features, a scar behind
his left ear and about 80 to 35
years old.
The Tiger shot an American
lieutenant in cold blood las an
example" when other prisoners
in the Ieutenant's group were
unable to continue the march.
He either personally shot to
death or ordered the killing of
more than dozen others on that
march, including two or three
French nuns.
M/Sergt. Martin A. Strahan.
jr., Pontiac, Mich, who was cap
tured 10 hours after American
ground troops first fought the
Communists near Osan, July 5,
1850, saw the Tiger kill the lieu
tenant.
"One of the men in the lieu
tenants group was too weak to
keep up with the march," he |
said. THE Tiger put his gun
to the lieutenant's head and |
pulled the trigger. Through in
terpreters the Tiger said he had |
shot the lieutenant as an ex-
ample and that next time I will
shoot TO-"
"a Salvation Army officer
from London pleaded for the
lieutenant's life" said Sergt.

Flanders Proposes
Study on SIashing
Defense by Billions
By the ASsocio1ed Press

Senator Flanders, Republican,
OF Vermont, proposed today that
President Eisenhower and other
top Government policy-mak
consider cutting billions of dol
lars from future programs for
hydrogen-atomic weapons, de-
tense and foreign aid.
Senator Flanders, a member of
the Armed Services Committee,
suggested in an interview that
the United States may before
long have on hand such a supply
Of nuclear weopons that further
production might pass the point
OF diminishing returns"
But savings from a cutback, he
said, might make it possible to
carry out Republican campaign
pledges Of a balanced budget and
even tax reduction.
Peak Done This Year.
The Budget Bureau Thursday.
In a new revenue and spending
estimate, said outlays for foreign
aid and atomic energy are still
rising, but should reach their
peak during the current fiscal
year, and then decline.
Senator Flanders proposal
contrasted with views expressed
by some other members of Con-
gress of both parties, especially
since Russia published claim
to have mastered the technical
basis for the H-bomb.
Representative Patterson, Re
publican, of Connecticut, mem
Der Of the Senate House Atomic
Energy Committee. said Thurs
day the United States should
make an all-out effort to dis
cover possible weapon mightier
than the hydrogen bomb.
He urged a top level study of
the Nations offensive and de-
tense capabilities in the atomic
field and a clear blueprint for
further action.
"ThiS has more priority than
a balanced budget" Mr.. Pat
terSon said.
Tragic, Lanham Says.
Also on Thursday, Representa-
tive Lanham, Democrat, of
Georgia, termed Congress re-
duction of Air Force funds by
SIS billion tragic in view of the
A-bomb" and folly" in the face
of an H-bomb threat. He said
Congress would "have to do
something" about it in January.
Senator Flanders, however,
cited some figures intended to
support his suggestion that it
may be time for us to rest on
our oars"
How many of these terrible
bombs does it take to put a pos
sible enemy out of a ware" he
asked. Some say that 40 bombs
properly placed on targets will
do it and that we are certain to
have one out of 10 planes carry
ing bombs hit it's target.
IF that is so. then any pro-
duction above 400 of these de-
structive bombs is beyond point
Of diminishing returns. There
certainly is some limit to stack
ing up of costly fashionable ma
terials."
Senator Flanders said he be-
lieved the administrations top
leaders should take a new look"
at spending on hydrogen-atomic
development. other defense costs
and foreign assistance.

ONE OF THE main Orders in the framework Of the
structure, CIVILIZATION is COMPETITION, its rives,
Mans individual behaviorism. From the moment WE ARE,
to the moment WE ARE NOT, life is one fearsome COMPETE
TION with death. There is scarcely any phase OF life, that IS
not influenced directly or indirectly by COMPETITION and
we react according to our particular idosyncracies. This is I'M
fortunate because instead of stimulating our better instincts,
it seems that COMPETITION invariably brings out the
worst in most of us. The genre homo is ~propagated through
the medium called Low and since this tremendously vital
factor is the key. to procreahon, It should be ldeahstlc and
beautiful. Unhappily, however, LOVE is a nursing of rivalry
and COMPETITION, which, in counties. instances are the
sole stimuli and out of which come lies cheating, hate suffer-
ing and violence.
A LOVES N he begets, and in order to build better
bodies and high morale, we encourage and promote athletics
and games Of skill for our offspring. In the field OF sports,
COMPETITION is indisputably king. In ancient times, athle-
tic prowess was practically W~orshipped and games OF skill and
strength were played on a purely idealstic plane. Today,
sports have not only become concentrated, but have also
deteriorated to a racket, more or less, one that breeds cheating,
hate and crime. In another, but related field, beauty and
popularity contests are farces, in most cases. they exploit
pulchritude and arouse meanness, and ugly pett1ness.
PROFESSIONAL ENTERTAINMENT does not escape
this disturbing force, either. We sit and thrill to a great play
and brilliant actors, but we cannot sense the undercurrents OF
jealousy. hate and antagonism that grow out of COMPETE
TON, between the performers, for coveted leading roles,
usually fermenting until there is a grand bloWup that leaves
enmity,v violent feuds and often death in its wake. Talent

THE SURVIVAL OF the fttest

III SURVIVAL OF the ftteSt in business depends on
how well the concern can buck the COMPETITION of other
firms as well as the COMPETITION Of the employer and the
employee that brews strikes and non-production. Big BUSH
ness and little business, the pushcart vendor and the fabulous
corporation, all compete to survive. The bigger the syndicate
or corporation, the more brutal and inscriptions the rivalry
that has caused wars of nations and the fear, hate, blood and
death of human beings. Rivalry in crime brings gang wars
and the dread staccato sound of machine gun bullets
AT THE ONE emulation in transportations is filling
the newspapers with screaming headlines. Aeroplanes,
trains and ships are locked in deadly COMPETITION. Air
lines are helbent on proving that planes are safer to ride in
than trains and ships. For years, if you remember, trains
and ships were the only means we had of covering great dis
tances, and train wrecks and ships disasters were apprecia-
lively ~infrequent. Recently railroad tragedies have been
occurring with alarming regularity, shocking the nation, and
now fires are breaking out on ships at sea. Planes are still
crashing, two or three a week, however. Sabotage" some
ask. Others shudder and hint at COMPETITION, and
reprisals.
WRECKED TRAINS Burned ships. Smashed planes.
Bodies1- Bodies! More bodies; All in the n a m e Of
COMPETITION.
