PANMUNJOM, Jan. 60
Tert OF statement made by
347 American, British and
South Korean pro-CommuniSt
prisoners OF ipar to Allied and
Red neUsmen today:
We are South Koreans.
Americans. British, who love
our homes. our people and our
countries. What uniteS us all
is our desire for peace, for real
democracy and racial equality.
Why are we not going home?
We know from our expert
ence what is going on:
In South Korea. for those
returning prisoners that escape
the firing squads and the con-
centration camp. there is the
press-gang. landlordism. pow
erty and the prostitution of
life under the rule of an Amer
lean puppet.
In America, the witch hunt,
McCarthyism. the fate of
Dickinson and Bachelor. the
Valley Forge mental home,
and for those who are Negroes
lynch law. and the color bar.
ANY one, who breathes the
word peace in America now
becomes at once a "Commu-
mist" and U. N. outlaw.
Ask About Indo- China.
In Britain. American occu-
patton, drafted to fight an
American war in Korea! And
next. in Indo-China? In PAX
istan?
Here, we have experienced
during years in the prisoner
camps real democracy for the
first time. And among our
selves in the custodian area
true equality and international
brotherhood. We are not Com
munists. though some of US
hope to be. But here we have
learned much and have caught
a glimpse of what man can
achieve when he works for the
common good and not for per-
sonal gain.
That goal of happiness and
plenty can never be reached
unless peace is kept. We be-
lievt that our greatest task is
to keep the peace and win de-
mocracy for our people. But
If We return our voices would
be silenced. That is why we
are here.
Most Of the Koreans have
heard the explanations of the
United Nations command and
have repeatedly said we re-
fuse to be repatriated. The
Americans and the solitary
British prisoner have not
heard explanations despite
our requests. The United Ma
tons command must bear all
responsibility for refusing to
give us explanations.
Claims Of Coercion.

long history of murder, tor

Army Ready 10 Act
On Dishonorab|e
Discharges for Il
By John A. Giles

The Army moved today to
give the 81 American soldiers
who want to stay with the Com
munists in Korea dishonorable
discharges and prepared q full
report for Defense Secretary
Wilson on it's plans to court
martial another who has re-
| turned.
Mr.. Wilson ordered the dis
honorable discharges yesterday
after a long conference with
John Slezak, acting Army Sec
rotary. and Gen. Matthew B.
Ridgway. Chief Of STAFF.
He made it clear to the two
officials that he was caught UNI
awares by the announcement Of
the Military District of WASH
ington Friday night that it in
tended to court-martial Corpl.
Edward s. Dickinson. The
charges against the Crackers
Neck (Va.) corporal, who first
decided to stay with the Reds
and then changed his mind.
could result In the death pen
atty. He is charged with CO.
operating with his captors to
get better treatment.
Must Follow Policy.
An official said today Mr.. Will
son fatty told the Army oficials
it must make certain that all
such actions in the future are
in harmony with departmental
/ policy.
| The Army at first proposed the
81 be labeled deserters. Army
attorneys argued that dishon-
orable discharges could be given
only after courts-martial.
H. Strive Hensel, Defense De-
partment general counsel, chal-
lenged this theory. He pointed
out that a regulation of the
Army Secretary set forth this
procedure and that such q regu-
lation could as easily be changed
by the same official.
On this basis, Mr.. Wilson then
ordered the Army to take the
dishonorable discharge action,
thus ending a departmental
dilemma which has persisted for
weeks. The action means that
all pay and allowances which
have been piling up on the books
for the 81 and that the allot-
ments to next of kin will be cut
off. It also eliminates veterans
benefits. Should any Of the 81
ever return to this country, they
could take legal action to wipe
the dishonorable charges from
the record.
Studies Dickinson Case.
Shortly after Mr.. Wilson an
nounced his decision on the 81
soldiers, the Pentagon then said
he was taking the Dickinson case
under advisement." Army off,
Gals said he had demanded a
full report on the case.
1t is believed that Mr.. Wilson
probably will reverse the Army's
stand against Corpl. Dickinson
| nv at least reducino the charges
However, Army officials main
tain there is SUFFICIENT evidence
from fellow captives to support
the move against the corporal.
Representative Wampler. Re-
publican, Of Virginia. said he
would intercede with the Army
secretary for the corporal. who
Is under arrest at Walter Reed
Army Hospital.

VOldsethS Buy
Angus Herd

GEORGE AND NORMAN Voldsetn,
Lennep ranchers, recently purchased
200 head of commercial Aberdeen-An-
gus cows from Jennings Bros, Hymore,
SD.
The Voldseth Bros. have been using
Angus bulls with their yearling heifers
for several years, but this marks their
first entry into black COW herd. They
will be shooting for premium market
with offspring from the Angus, and will
gradually replace most of their 1000
Hereford cows with the other breed.
The COWS purchased we're selected
from the entire Hymore commercial
herd, big, well fleshed, good milking
COWS being picked. Delivery of the
herd will be made this fall.
The Voldseths recently sold their
yearling steers at $3.50 per hundred,
straight across, no shrink, October de-
livery. Nearly one-half of the 200 head
involved in the sale were crosS-bred
-Herefords.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1954-07-01

In addition, all rationS we're fortified
with vitamin D and B complex sup
plements-alSO trace minerals.
There were II to IA sows or bred
gifts per lot each winter.
The addition of IS per cent APP (anti-
biotic) supplemental 2-when fed
with Is per cent sun cured alfalfa, bar
ley, soy bean oil meal and meat meal
resulted in significant improvement
with regards to number of pigs far
rowed alive, birth weight of pigs and
number of pigs weaned per sow.
Meal Better Than Pellets
The sows fed the sun cured alfalfa
meal narrowed larger pigs and the
death loss at weaving time was Is to
20 per cent lower than for the sows fed
the dehydrated alfalfa pellets.
In these two trials the sun cured
alfalfa meal gave better reproductive
performance and at considerably less
cost than the dehydrated alfalfa pei
lets.
The extent to which legume forage
can be used in the economical produc-
ton of hogs will, of course, depend
somewhat upon the price relationship
between the cost of forage, grains and
concentrates and the quality of the
forage. Certainly good results cannot
be expected from low grade roughage
when grains and concentrates are fed
in limited amounts.
In the light of more recent research
work and the practical experiences of
good swine growers, it seems that good
high quality legume forage can be
used more extensively and as a means
of lowering the cost of production.

wheat and per cent meat scraps.
In summer, when good legume pas
ture is available, no grain or concen-
trates are fed to the sows. Last fall,
when County Agent E. D. Atkins and
the writer visited the Schulz farm the
sows that were sucking fall pigs had
the run of stubble field and grazed in
pastures predominately alfalfa. They
were not fed any additional grain or
concentrates. We saw no runty or sick
ly pigs. In other years, sows on pas
ture and narrowing in the fall had been
fed at the rate of pounds of ground
peas per head daily.
SOws Live on Clover

the pleasure of visiting the Ed Heller
pig hatchery at Sun Prairie, Wis,
where thousands of feeder pigs are pro-
duced annually. In questioning Mr.. Hell
Ter about his methods of feeding brood
S0WS, foGnd tnar after the pigs were
weaned, the sows in summer lived very
largely on ladino clover or alfalfa. Be-
fore the sows are due to farrow in the
fall a small amount of grain is added.
His winter ration for brood sows also
consisted of a high percentage of le-
gume hay.
During the winters of 1851 and 1852
the Montana Experiment Station con-
Quoted feeding trials using sun cured
alfalfa meal and dehydrated alfalfa
pellets in the winter ration for sows.
Three lots of sows were fed each win
ter.

Several Processes Stop Cellar Leaks
BY Hermon Baum

are made Of concrete blocks.
Whenever it rains for any length
of time, water seeps into this
basement through the walls /
would like to know what you rec
ommend for correcting this con-
dition. Should paint the inside
walls with some kind Of water
proofing material?"-D. L. B.. Jr.,
High Point, N. c.
Answer-We receive so many
letters on this subject that others
must nave shared the experience
we once had. A real estate man
was showing us q home in SUBJ
urban New York City. We COM
pleted our examination of the in
terror and were delighted to find
that this house had everything
we wanted. We then asked to see
the cellar because that was very
important for our workshop. II
can't show you the cellar" he
told us. ut is full of water"
Sure enough, it was.
Leaks into cellars generally oc-
cur through porous side walls or
at the line Of juncture Of the side
walls and floor slab. Occasion
ally, a floor will leak where it
has been poured over earth fill
rather than over cinders.
Side walls are best treated on
the outside, but in a completed
house this may be difficult and
expensive. An excavation is
made to the bottom of the foot
ing. Four-inch drain tile is
placed in this and sloped to
sewer or dry well. The joints in
the tile are covered with a piece
of building felt. The wall sur
faces below grade are thoroughly
cleaned and then covered with
two coats of portland cement
plaster, each u in thick.
The plaster should consist Of
one part cement to 21a parts
sand. The first coat is applied to
wet wall. The surface of this
coat is roughened and then al
lowed to dry for "a hours when
the second coat is applied. Eight
cen inches of gravel Is placed

on top of the tile and the, ex-
cavation back filled.
The illustration shows that
joint between floor slab and
wall is caulked with tar. This is
the preferred method of con-
struction. Where water leaks
through joints not constructed
in this manner, the best cure is
to use a cold chiSel and mallet
to cut a groove into both the
wall and floor as illustrated.
Brush out all dust, and then
when the concrete is dry, pack
the opening with cold process
roofing compound.
To stop water infiltration
through walls in completed
houses. most owners prefer to
tackle the job from the inside
because it is far less expensive.
For this purpose. cement base
paints are recommended. These
are powders to be mixed with
water. about pounds being re-
quired for each 100 square feet.
1t Is best to apply this paint with
a stiff scrubbing brush rather
than with a paint brush, and
work 1t thoroughly into the sur
face. particularly at the joints.
This material will close a crack
or hole up to 70 inch wide. The
wall must be thoroughly wet be-

fore this waterproofing is ap-
piled.
Floor slab leaks should be re-
paired by q professional water
proofer who will cover the sur
face with a special waterproof
mortar which need be only "a
inch thick.
Another method of repair
which the home owner may
want to attempt consists Of first
putting down a membranous
waterproofing. This consists of
a layer of hot asphaltum applied
over the surface. Before this
hardens. a layer of 15-pound
roofing felt is placed on the
floor. the joints being Tapped 6
inches. This felt should extend
8 inches up the side walls. As
phaltum is then applied on top
Of the felt. and another layer Of
felt laid. This is covered with q
final layer Of asphaltum. Two
inches Of concrete are then
poured on top Of the asphaltum.

Senator Mccarthy ought at
least to have the same civil
rights as Communists claim.
Far from being q disadvan-
tage to the anti Communist
crusade in America. the con-
troyersy initiated by Senator
Flanders of Vermont is turning
out to be a salutary develop
ment. It is exposing to full
view the arbitrary methods Of
the anti-anti-C Communists, and
it will probably lead now to a
full-dress debate in the Senate
or before the new select COM
mittee on every phase of the
charges made against the Wis
consin Senator. 1t will pre-,
sumably give him a larger au-
dience than before to reveal
all the tricks and intrigues

the simplest facts concerning
their knowledge Of the Com
munist activity of others.
AS for the charges against

these continue to be spread
without the slightest evidence
of guilt, and there are many

Mr.. Woodring Hasn't Forgotten
Gen. Marshall Was Chief Of Stoff in q Hot Spot When
Konson Was Secretory Of Wor Under Roosevelt

When Navy ,Undersecretary
Dan A. Kimball was promoted
to Navy Secretary in the sum-
mer of 1851, he said to his
superior, Defense Secretary
George Catlett Marshall. Gen
eral, have you any suggestions
about filing my old job?" Gen.
Marshall's reply was prompt
and powerful.
"Kimball," he barked, "get
your own Undersecretary. I
don't want any part of it. Get
somebody you can work with
who will be loyal to you and
I'll fight for him all the way
to 1900 Pennsylvania Avenue
and back to the Pentagon.
II had to be chief of staff
to a Secretary Of War and his
first assistant who weren't
speaking to each other. They
mot only didn't make any
secret of how they hated and
despised each other, they ran
to the President behind each
others back. Then the Pres
ident would send for me to get
the facts.
"It was the most miserable
experience of my life. If we
hadn't been trying to prepare
for a war I knew was coming
I don't think I could have
stood it. I don't want any one
around here to have to go
through anything like that
again, and if anybody does it
will be their own fault, not
mine"
The Secretary of War who
wasn't speaking to his first
assistant was Harry H. Wood
ring, whose bitter letter as
serting that Gen. Marshall
would sell out his own grand
mother for personal advan-
tage" was made public by
Senator Mccarthy. The first
assistant was Louis johnson
who much later became for
one controversial year Presi-
dent Humans Secretary of
Defense.
Franklin D. Roosevelt was
the President who umpired
the Woodring- Johnson haSsle
which was one of the most
open secrets in Washington
during the tense pre-World
War II era. It always seemed
rather to amuse him, though
it was hard on the conscien-
tious and dignified Marshall.
In the end Mr.. Roosevelt
pulled the rug out from under
both Mr.. Woodring and Mr..
Johnson-and the Republicans
as well. AS Republicans were
gathering in Philadelphia to
nominate their 1910 ticket, Mr..
Roosevelt explained that the
Nations defense must have

question Is whether Nc
Cartfyisln has or has not
gone too far. / think it has
gone too far. and I know few
thoughtful and knowledgeable
Americans, liberal or conServ-
alive. who do not also think
so.
But what constitutes ''going
too far?
I submit that it is going
too far if in an attempt to
protect the American system
one throws overheard certain
fundamentals of that system,
such as that we are governed
by laws. not individuals; that
every man has the right to his
day in court. whether he is
being tried before a Judge and
jury or before public opinion,
and that 'the peoples tribu-
nal' has no place in Anglo
Saxon Justice but is an in
vention of revolutionists for
whom justice is always a
means of serving political pur-
poses. The French revolu-
tionists set up the first of such
tribunals in the West. copied,
since then, by the Communist
and Nazi states.
What Senator Mccarthy
has been doing is. ! think, to
turn a perfectly legitimate
investigative body into a
basically illegitimate peoples

go too far if they exacerbate
