HornCombFoc
Only One in u. S.,
Wrecked by Fire
BY the Associated Press

LANCASTER, Pa. Feb. 90
Fire of undetermined origin
yesterday destroyed horn comb
factory which was founded in
Colonial times and was believed
to be the only one of its type
in the Nation.
The owner and sole employe,
George Washington Grouse. Sc,
escaped without injury.
The two-story red sandstone
building, at Reinholds in the
northern tip of Lancaster
County, was originally occupied
by Mr.. Crouse's great-grand-
father, a soldier under George
Washington at Valley Forge.
According to legend. when
steers were brought into Valley
Forge Mr.. Grouse would twist
off the horns after the animals
had been slaughtered for food
and convert the horns into
combs. After the war he opened
the factory at Reinholds.
The same slow manual meth
cd of cutting, securing, grinding
and polishing the bone was still
practiced by his descendant.

Schwable's physical condition
during this period. the former
POW said:
II hate to say this about the
colonel. but his face was so
shrunken in, it made him look
like a little mouse"
The thin and wiry colonel,
who sat just a few feet from the
witness in the hearing room at
Henderson Hall in Arlington,
smiled broadly.
Intense Questioning Described.
All of the witnesses told of
Col. Schwable's solitary con-
f1nement and the intense interro-
CATION he was subjected to. And
they agreed that his "confes-
sion," which was distributed to
them in a pamphlet containing
his picture and pictures of al
legged germ bombs and bugs,
failed to convince them or other
prisoners that the United States
was engaging in meteorological
warfare.
Col. Schwable signed the con-
fession" in January, 1853. When
he was repatriated later last
year, he Immediately repudi-
ated it.
He was shot down while on a
reconnaissance fight over North
Korea, July 8. 1852. He and his
co-pilot, Maj. Roy H. Bley, were
captured.
Yesterday morning. Maj. Bley,
who is an interested party" in
the present proceedings, de-
scribed Communist tortures he
suffered while being held for al
most 10 months in solitary con-
finement.
He told the court of being
kicked 40 or so times and of
being frequently slugged with
rife butts in low-ceilinged cells
and dank caves.

French Still Attempting
To Stir Up Wet Mini

HANOI. Indo- China, Feb. 20
R.-French Union patrols from
the fortress of Diem Bien Phu
punched on today toward the
surrounding Wet Mini, but only
light skirmishes were reported.
The airlift-supplied fortress
has been encircled by the Com
munist-led rebels for 80 days.
A division of the rebels moved
away last month in a drive that
is now stalled northeast of the
Luang Prabang, royal capital Of
Laos. About $4,000 Wet Mini
troops still remain around Diem
Bien Phu, however, and the
French Union forces were trying
to draw them into battle.
In the Red River delta there
were light encounters between
French and Wet Namese troops.

South Korea Trying
To Win Acceptance
Of Aid in Indo-China
BY the Associated Press

SAIGON, Indo-China., Feb.
20.-South Korean Mai. Gen.
Choi Duk Shin arrived here to-
day to try to convince France to
accept the Korean offer of divi-
sion for the Indo-C China war.
Gen. Choi also said he hoped
to lay the foundation for an anti
Communist pact between the
Indo-Chinese states of Laos,
Cambodia and Wet Nam with
other anti-Red nations in Asia.
During an eight-day visit here
Gen. Choi plans to confer With
Gen. Henri Navarro, French COM
mander in chief; Maurice De-
jean. French commissioner gen.
eral; Prince Buu Loo, Wet Ma
mese Premier, and Gen. Nglyen
Van Hinh, the Wet Namese
Army's chief of staff. He also
will visit Laos and Cambodia.
THE only chance of the free
nations of Asia to survive is to
form a common front against
communism" the South Korean
general declared. If we do not
unite the Communists will beat
us one by one"
Gen. Choi said the French
government has not yet given a
definite reply to South Korea's
offer of troops to help fight the
Communicated Wet Ninth in
the Indo-China war
However, Mr.. Dejean. highest
ranking French civilian official
in Indo-C China. has said: I'VE ask
no aid from Korea and we are
opposed to the sending of foreign
troops to Indo-China because it
could incite Communist China
to intervene in the war"
Gen. Choi said today that
China will intervene in Indo-
China anyway, if it believes it's
Interest so dictates. without need
of any pretext, and that the only
policy is to attack China before
it launches another aggressive
move"

resulting deficit might mean
loss through imitation of what
ever was gained by the consumer
in purchasing power.
Chairman Millikin of the Sem
ate Finance Committee, would
not comment on the George bill.
He wants to wait and see what
kind of tax bill the House sends
to the Senate about a month
from now.
Exemption Increase Seen.
An influential House Democrat
who was not ready to be quoted
predicted today that regardless
Of what the Ways and Means
Committee does, the House will
approve an increase to $700 in
the personal exemption. He said
most of the Democrats and
block Of Republicans would vote
for that figure. Ordinarily, the
House considers tax bills under
a rule which blocks amendments,
but this provision could be added
to the bill as part of a motion to
recommit with instructions to
the committee to insert it.
Senator George made it clear
he was offering higher exemp-
lions as a means of checking
the unemployment trend by slim
ulating business through the
medium of greater purchasing
power for the individual. If the
tax bill comes from the House
with a $500 personal exemption
figure. it will be popular in the
Senate also in an election year.
Senator Flanders suggested
that a combination of tax in
centives both for business and
consumers would be the part of
wisdom. He argued that when
the Democrats were trying to
relieve unemployment between
1888 and 1889 all of the efforts
OF Government were directed to-
ward consumer relief. In spite of
all that was done, he said that
the number of unemployed was
reduced in that Six-year period
only from IL million to 9 million.
He suggested that there was not
enough recognition at that time
OF the part that business could
have played In creating more
employment through incentives.
Tax Credit Plan Changed.
While the George proposal ap-
parently gained ground, the
House Ways and Means Com
mittee backed down to some ex-
tent from a plan it approved
January IA to ease double tax
alton" Of corporation dividends.
The committee voted late yes
terday to put a limit of 10 in
stead Of Is per cent on a pro-
posed tax credit on such divi-
dend income to individuals. The
amendment adopted by the COM
mittee last month has been
under constant attack by Demo-
Gratis as a "giveaway" to wealthy
families.
AS changed yesterday the plan
still would allow a person, in
preparing his income tax return,
to deduct $50 Of income from
stock dividends this year and
500 next year and thereafter.
It also would allow him to take
a credit Of S per cent the first
year and 10 per cent the second
year, but no longer contains the
original provisions for a Is per
cent credit the third year.

Final Neutral Report
Brands u. n. Release
OF P0Ws as Illegal
BY the Assoeioted Press

PANMUNJOM, Feb. 20.-The
Neutral Nations Repatriation
Commission in a final majority
report, today branded as illegal
the release of unrepatriated
Korean war prisoners last
month by the United Nations
Command.
The report, released on the
eve of the commissions disso-
luton, declared: 1T would be a
bare assertion unsupported by
any evidence Ito say that the
prisoners had voluntarily sought
non-repatriation."
The flve-nation commission,
comprising delegates from India,
Sweden. Switzerland, Czechoslo-
vakia and Poland, goes out of
existence at midnight tomorrow
under terms of the Korean
armistice.
Swiss and Swedes Dissent.
The Indians, Czechs and Poles
signed the report. The Swiss
and SwedeS issued a statement
emphasizing that they did not
"join in the conclusions"
The minority statement de-
clared that while admitting the
existence in the (anti-C ommu-
nist) camps of strong prisoner
of war organizations, the Swed-
iSh and Swiss members hold the
opinion that the prisoners had
nevertheless opportunities to ap-
ply for repatriation . ;"
The three-member majority
report was basically a restate-
ment Of an interim report is
sued December %.
No Freedom of Choice.
It declared that organizations
of prisoners in the anti-Com-
munist south camp which held
more than $4,000 Koreans and
Chinese ruled out any posi-
bility of freedom of choice.
It declared that anti-Red
leaders were in firm control
when the prisoners were turned
back to the U. N. command jan
uary 20.
Neither the majority nor mi
nority reports mentioned the
north camp, which housed about
$50 pro-Communist war prison.

Canadian Factory
Sinks y Feet After
Underground Cave-in
BY the Associated Press

WINDSOR. ontario, Feb. 20.
New cracks appeared today
around the perimeter of an area
$50 yards square where sections
of a huge chemical plant on the
banks of the Detroit River sank
into the ground yesterday.
But no further settling was re-
ported today and officials of the
Sc million Canadian Industries,
Ltd, plant discounted the threat
Of a new collapse into a newly
created lake resulting from
underground caveins.
Part of the old marshland on
which the plant is built dropped
at least % feet yesterday with
out warning
Flood Waters Spread.
Repair crews donned gas
masks this morning as pro-
lection against chlorine fumes
while they sought to repair a
damaged coupling leading to one
Of the main gas storage tanks.
The section is a waste of torn
and twisted steelwork with
buildings down almost to roof
level.
Flood waters spread some Az
feet west overnight in the di-
rection of the two-year-old Of
flee building on the adjacent Ca
madam Salt Co. plant. Cracks
had appeared in the salt COM
pany building, an indication
that the foundation was settling.
Workers cleared all records and
furniture out of the brick-and
concrete structure.
Old Salt Mine Caves In.
One theory was that a cave
in at the 1.000-foot level where
salt was mined a half century
ago caused the land to settle.
