Infant With Two Heads
Is Double Tax Exemption
By the Associafed Press

INDIANAPOLIS. Jan. 2O.-The
doctor who delivered the two
headed Hartley baby said today
he considers it definitely two
babies" and the tax collector
said he'll abide by the official
medical ruling in granting
exemptions.
However, there's no immediate
occasion for concern about ex-
ceptions for the Cecil Hartley
family of Petersburg, Ind. They
already had $4,000 in exemp-
tions before the latest arrival,
and the fathers income is only
$4,000 a year.
DR.. Vance Chattin of Wash
ington. Ind, who delivered the
infant December IL in a Wash
ington hospital, said it was a
multiple birth and he entered
two names on the birth certi-
ficate-Donald Roy and Daniel
Kaye.
Wilbur Plummer, assistant di-
rector of the indianapolis Office
of the Internal Revenue Service,
said the Government will GO
along with the official medical
ruling in granting one or two
exemptions.

PANMUNJOM, Jan. 2O.-The
mournful wall of a Chinese bugle
cut through the icy air in Korea
today. as it had done so many
times before.
The long. sad, chilling notes
floated from hill to hill and lost
themselves across the frozen
paddles.
From the north came the
throb of a big drum, the roar
OF frenzied cheering, and waves
from the human sea rolled south
for the last time.
Once, not So long ago. that
eerie music would have chilled
the hearts and prickled the skin
of the waiting South Korean and
American soldiers. 1t would
have set them crouching over
rifles and machine guns, and
loosening pins of grenades.
This morning. despite the
tenseness. waiting men stomped
chilled feet on the frozen ground,
turned to each other. and smiled.
They're coming!"
Arrival Differs From 1850.
1t was 8:52 am. and the first
Chinese and North Korean pris-
onerS of war marched peacefully
out of compounds in Korea's
neutral zone. .
For the chanting. cheering
marchers, it must have been
strange and piquant experience.
Among them were thousands
who had stormed down that very
same road before. in 1850 and
1851. They had swept across
the Imjin River ice. over the
barbed wire, through the mine
fields. and into the ROK and
American trenches. killing and
being killed.
This morning. laughing and
smiling, they climbed into big
American truckS-yelling and
chattering like boys on the last
day of school-while ROK army
bands played them on.

At the Chinese check point,
Americas highest ranking Off

NEW YORK, Jan. 20.-Maj.
Gen. William F. Dean vented his
anger over the Communists
overwhelming odds against his
retreating oath Division early in
the Korean war by standing in
Taejon's shattered streets and
firing his AS at a red tank.
II wasn't silly enough to ex-
pect to do anything with a pis-
tol," he said. THAT was just
plain rage and frustration-just
Dean losing his temper again
and doing something foolish"
Gen. Deans account of his
tank-hunting is given in the first
installment of My Three Years
as Dead Man." appearing in
this weeks Saturday Evening
Post.
His tank exploits occurred July
20, 1850. the day he was cut off
from most of his division. After
more than a month of trying to
find his way back to his lines,
he was captured August 26. He
was released last September after
more than three years as O
prisoner.
Sorry About Mistakes.
"In the fighting made some
mistakes and I've kicked my
self thousand times for them, I"
he wrote.
II lost ground I shouldn't have
lost. I'm not proud of that rec
ord and I'm under no delusions
that 1t was any mastery cam

Entering Taejon. he and a
small group of men gave chase
to a tank which parked at an

them take cover.
Gen. Dean said they then

He said the bazooka fired twice

Some Of the more excitable
North Koreans went too far and
set fire to their American army
squad tents-each one worth
several hundred dollars. The
oil-treated tents burned with
dense black smoke that rose
over the whole huge mile square
south camp - reminiscent of
burning villages on battle days
early in the war.
Haze Spreads Over Area.
AS the day wore on, smoke
and haze spread all over the
Panmunjom area, and with the
singing and chanting lent a wild
