9Th Army Gets SET
For Any EventualiiY
In Freeing Of P0Ws
By the As.oeiated Press


SEOUL, Jan. 5.-The 9th Army
Is. getting set for "any eventu-
ality" at midnight January %
when more than 10000 anti
Communist prisoners are sched-
uled to be freed from neutral
custody. it was learned tonight.
These eventualities repeatedly
include even an attack by South
Korean army forces if anti-Red
Chinese and North Korean pris-
onerS are not freed according to
the Korean armistice timetable.
Even as the 9th Army prepared
for the prisoner release, South
Korea and the Communists
bitter foes-joined in bitter cri-
ticiSm of a headcount of anti
Communist war prisoners by In
dian troops. The United Nations
command has warmly indorSed
the count.
American troops waiting south
of the demilitarized zone were
reported ready to handle a dis
organized rush southwark of
thousands of prisoners if they
should break out or become un-
ruly after being released from
the SIS compounds in which they
are held.
Will Start at Midnight.
It also was learned that pres
ent plans call for the anti-Red
prisoners to start moving south
ward out of the neutral zone just
after midnight on January %.
The POWs will not be asked to
wait until dawn.
Measures are being taken for
special isolation of pro-Commu-
mist prisoners or agents moving
southwark with the prisoners,
loudspeakerS along the roadways
leading southwark will tell them
to weed out the hostile among
you"
North Koreans will be held
temporarily in compounds north
of MunSan. it was learned. while
Chinese will be moved to Inchon
to board ships for Formosa.
Marine crews were erecting
miles of steel and wire chan
nels and barricades south Of
Panmunjom.
Some fences were IL feet high,
with wire clear to the top.
HeadcOunt Condemned.
ROK Foreign Minister Pyun
Yung Tai and North Korean 1t.
Gen. Lee Sang Cho used almost
the same language in condemn
ing the headcount which Thurs
day sent 1875 Chinese back to
Red China.
But as Pyun told a news con-
ference today his motives and
those of the Communists ARE as
far apart as two stars"
The Indian command made
what it called a routine head
count of 1894 Chinese prisoners
Thursday. While the count was
underway, 1875 asked to be re-
turned to Communist China.
The ROK foreign minister
branded the Indian guards as
"armed Communist explainers"
who are forcing the prisoners to
return to the Communists.

Splash Mats Handle Roof Drainage Best
By Douelos Tuomey

A great many homeowners
have the wrong idea about how
to treat the leaders or down.
spouts which convey the rainfall
from the roof to the ground.
In order to prevent the flood
ing of lawns or paths during a
storm, many Of them set a
length of drainage pipe in the
ground near the foundation of
the house and set the end OF
the leader in it and then plaster
up the joint.
In some cases they dig a dry
well beneath the pipe and in
other cases they lay several
lengths of the drainage pipe be-
meath the ground and run it a
few feet away.
It is our opinion. after many
years of experience, that they
could hardly do anything worse,
because they are leading gallons
of water right next to the foun-

job has to be done all over
again.
B. A. Davenport, who heads
the firm which developed the
system, knew the problem.
The idea for an answer came
when he read an article about
how Paris businessmen sus-
tanned sidewalk cafe patronage
throughout the winter months.
These ingenious Frenchmen,
according to an article in the
Wall Street Journal which Mr..
Davenport read, used radiant
panels inside the concrete side
walk to warm the outdoor cafe
area.
Adapting that idea to the
problem of preventing con-
crete from freezing before it
had a chance to cure" Mr..
Davenport figured out that
electrically-heated glass panels
suspended above newly poured
concrete would do the trick.
Truss framing was designed
and an order for specially fab
ricated glass panels was placed.
With the whole system worked
out-including possibilities of
using a tarpaulin over the
framework to provide a heated
inclosure for workmen in ex-
tremely cold weather--the sys-
tenn was demonstrated at the
plant of the Davenport firm in
Faulkner, Md.
At a height of six feet above
the concrete, the rays from
each electrically heated glasN
panel are diffused over an area
Of about 8 feet, Mr.. Davenport
said.
use of this type of heat
eliminates the possibility of
uneven curing of the concrete.

to the use of open-f1ame heat

dation and simply asking for a
damp, if not actually wet, base
ment.
Another thing they are doing
is completely eliminating the
action of evaporation, which
disposes of water when it is
spread thinly over a large area.
There is one good, practical
manner in which to handle roof
drainage, and it consists of hav-
ing splash mats under the end
of the leaders SO that the water
flows easily off them.

Worry About
Youth Morals

VIENNA R-Even the Commu-

about a soaring teen-age crime rate
and a decline in moral standards
In Eastern Europe.
Western officials in Vienna feel
that acts of teen-age rowdyism in
the East are a reaction against
the restrictions Of communism.
Hungary and Poland seem the
hardest hit. Hungarian newspapers
say people in Budapest are afraid
Of leaving home at nights for fear
Of holdups. In Poland, teen-age
hooligans repeatedly terrorize en-
tire neighborhoods. Polish newspa-
pers have reported teen-age crimes
almost every day of the past six
months.
Communist officials blame the
high teen-age crime rate on DO
lice. Communist bosses also COM
plain that judges are too lenient
with offenders.
The Communist newspaper EST
Budapest carried this account:
s'It was not Saturday but Tues
day, it was not payday but lust
day of the week, but the movie
houses and dance halls in one Bu-
dapest district were crowded to ca
pacity.
There young man was seen
dragging a young girl out of one
dance hall and hitting her in the
face with his fists. Nearby they
carried a drunk out of tavern
and hurled him into the street.
"Girls Immediately swarmed
around visitors entering one of the
places. They were between Ia and
II years of age. The place was full
of teen-agers, none of them having
a regular job.

he did not arrest one or the other

High Officials Gave
Paris Secrets 10 Reds,
Suspect Tells Prober
BY the Assoeioted Press

PARIS. Oct. 6.-The central
figure in Frances defense leaks
scandal insisted again today
that "higher-ups" had passed
important military secrets to the
high command Of the Comlnu-
mist Party.
Andre Baranes. reporter for
the fellow-traveling Daily Liber-
alton, made this statement IN
the course of a closed grand
jury-type hearing which brought
him face to face with his editor
and boss, Emanuel d'Astier lie la
Vigerie, pro-Communist member
Of the National Assembly.
Baranes originally said he
transmitted important defense
data to D'Astier and to Jacques
Duclos, No. 2 French Commu-
mist. after getting it from highly
placed civil servants working for
the National Defense Council.
Emerging from the hearing
shortly after noon. D'Astier told
newsmen that Baranes' testi-
mony was all fables"
Police intend to confront Ba-
ranes and Duclos but attaches
at the tribunal said such a ses-
sion was not likely today. Busy
with preparations for a special
session of Parliament tomorrow,
DucloS requested a delay.
Baranes said again today that
other important figures, whom
he did not identify, were involved
in the case. In his questioning
last night he had described him

The national league, which
