u. n. 10 Take P0Ws,
But Bans Condition;
Will Liberate 1900
Gen. Hull Tells lndiuns
Their Rules on Custody
Will Not Be Met
BY the Associcted Press

PANMUNJOM. Jan. 16.-The
U. N. Command said tonight it
viii accept from the Indians
22,000 unrepatriated anti-Com-
munist war prisoners-but not
on India's condition that they
remain prisoners.
Gen. John E. Hull, U. N. COM
mander. wrote the Indian COM

mand that as of January % the
U N will consider the prisoners
entitled to their freedom as ci-
villains"
Gen. Hull's letter was the U. N.
answer to India's decision to
turn back to their captors all
unrepatriated war prisoners
starting next Wednesday.
1t. Gen. K. s Thimayya. In
dian chairman of the Neutral
Repatriation Commission, said
it would be an armistice viola
ton If either side changed the
status of the POWs.
Reds May Oppose.
The Communists were ex-
pected to oppose the Indian de-
cision, since they want all pris-
oners kept in neutral custody
until a peace conference decides
their fate.
The allies contend that under
the terms of the armistice all
unrepatriated POWs must be
liberated as civilians at midnight
next Friday.
For the United Nations COM
mand now to agree to further
and indefinitely prolonged cap
tivity of these prisoners of war
would negate the very principle
Of human rights for which so
many men Of this command
have fought and died." Gen.
Hull wrote.
"Such unjust and unworthy
action is intolerable to any free
people, and is obviously un-
thinkable."
Sees Failure Of Duty.
He continued:
Return to the United Nations
Command Of personnel prior to
% January can only be regarded
as a failure by the Neutral Ma
tions Repatriation Commission
to fully discharge its duties, but
this failure will in no way, it
must be emphasized, affect the
right Of prisoners of war to be-
come civilians at that time re-
gardless OF their physical loca-

Proposed Changes
In Juvenile Court
Procedures Praised
Delinquency Groups
Report HoiIed by Police
And Welfare Officiols
By Miriom Ottenbero

Police and welfare officials to-
day hailed proposed changes in
Juvenile Court procedures as
helpful to law enforcement and
to closer cooperation among the
agencies dealing with juveniles.
The changes were recon-
mended by the Juvenile De-
linquency Committee of the
Council on Law Enforcement. The
council will act on the report
on January Is and thereafter will
make its report to Congress.
Juvenile Court Judge Edith H.
Cockrill. the official whose agency
would be most affected by the
proposals. sent word through her
secretary that she is not pre-
pared to comment at this time.
Judge Cockrill is a member of
the council.
Emphasis in the committee s
report was laid on a closer work.
ing relationship between police
welfare and correction agencies
and the court. The courts yolicy
OF secrecy has been target OF
criticism from both police and
welfare officials who welcomed
the committees recognition OF
their problems.
Hardened Criminal Situation
The committee also proposed
changes in law and procedure
aimed at dealing with hardened
sophisticated criminals" who are
juveniles only in chronological
age. For them, the committee
took the view that existing pro-
cedures appear inadequate to
protect the community. This is
an attitude already vigorously
expressed by police and prosecu-
tors
Along with what could be ac-
complished through changes In
law and interagency agree
ments, the committee recon-
mended some expenditure for
the most critical needs. These
include funds to complete the
Receiving Home for Children, to
provide bigger stats for Juve-

partment and to provide either
mileage reimbursement or Gov
vernment cars for court work.

Disrupts Quiz
Suspended EmpIoye
Accuses Senutor of
Conspiring With Ct
BY the Assoeioted Press

BOSTON. Jan. Ex-senator
McCarthy's hearing into subver-
sion in industry was thrown
into an uproar today when
Nathaniel Mills, a suspended
General Electric Co. employe,
stood in the rear of the court
room and shouted:
Mccarthy! I accuse you of
conspiring with the company
and getting the jobs of General
Electric people"
Deputy United States mar
shalS forcibly elected the Stoutly
resisting Mr.. Mills. who con-
tinued a TRADE as the majority
of spectators booed and shouted,
Throw him out" A few ap-
plauded. Whether they were ap-
plauding Mr.. Mills or the mar
shalS was not clear.
Two Elected Earlier.
1t was the third election of
the session. Earlier, on order
of the Wisconsin Senator, mar
shalS removed Theodore Pappas
OF Lynn, an earlier witness, and
his counsel. Oliver S. Allen.
Mr.. Mills is under suspension
by General Electric for refusing
to answer questions concerning
Communists before Senator Me-
Carthy here last November. He
invoked the fifth amendment at
that time.
AS Mr.. Mills was rustled down
the corridor by the deputies. he
shouted. Let me get my coat
on" AS they pushed him into
an elevator. he was told. PUT it
on in the elevator" Two mar
shalS rode to the street floor
with him.
Mr.. Mills election came just
as Alexander Gregory, 64-year-
old Lynn General Electric en-
ploye, refused to give Senator
Mccarthy, sitting as a one-man
Senate investigating subcommit-
tee, the names of persons the
Senator described as "Commu-
nist-conspirators" he might have
known at Lynn.
Pleads Two Amendments.
Mr.. Gregory, who said he was
born in Bulgaria and became
United States citizen about 1927,
pleaded the first and fifth
amendments-refusing to answer
on the grounds of free speech
and Standardization.
In answer to questions, Mr..
Gregory said, GAS far as I'm con-
cerned I've never seen an evil
Communist. I never was in con-
tact with a vicious Communist.
The persons I came in contact
with were gentlemanly and Sc
cret-minded, who wouldn't give
away any information"
Mr.. Gregory said he had
worked for General Electric over
the last 35 years.
Mr.. Pappas was elected when
he refused to answer the queS-
ton: do you consider a man
a traitor to his country if he
has the names of Communist
conspirators and refuses to give
them to law-enforcement Off
cialS?"
Harvard Professors Balk.
Two members of the Harvard
University faculty testified at
yesterdays public committee
hearing. Both admitted being
former members of the Com
munist Party. but both refused
to answer when asked to name
their associates in the party.
Senator Mccarthy said he
planned at "the earliest possible
moment" to ask Senate contempt
citations against Physics Prof.
Wendell Furry-a frequent tar
get of the Mccarthy probes
and Leon j. Kamin, a $3.200-a-
year research assistant.
The 47-year-old Prof. Furry
testified he was one of a half
dozen Communist Party men,

Child Welfare
Program Hinted
Mrs. Hobby Foresees
New Administration
Fight on Delinquency

Welfare Secretary Oveta Culp
Hobby today limited the admin
iStration will propose changes to
broaden the use of Federal funds
in child health and welfare work.
Mrs. Hobby was called before
the Senate Juvenile Delinquency
subcommittee to give her views
on what can be done about the
Nationwide increase of children
in trouble.
I'VE need more flexibility in
the appropriations given to the
Children's Bureau" Mrs. Hobby
declared.
She said changes were being
studied, but added. "I can't be
in the position of scooping my
boss president Eisenhower be-
fore he sends his health message
to Congress" She did not give
details.
Later, however, DR.. Martha
M. Eliot. chief of the Children,s
Bureau. told the subcommittee
that restrictions under present
laws severely limit efforts to at
tack juvenile delinquency, par
ticularly in the cities.
DR.. Eliot pointed out the child
welfare and health programs of
the Federal Government are pri-
marily protective and preven-
tive. She said the laws were not
written Ito give primary atten-
tion to children already found
to be delinquent"
She outlined some of the work
being done in which Federal
foundS are contributed to State
programs. She added:
Il have stressed the kind of
work that can be done by the
States under the existing grants
for child welfare services because
want to make clear their lim-
itations for the program of
treatment for children already
delinquent. who are found large
ly in cities, and to point out
their potential strengths for pre-
vention."
She said the grants are made
by the Children's Bureau to the
States to enable them to extend
and improve their programs of
maternal and child health. medi-
cal, hospital and related care of
cripped children and child well
fare services.
Law Limits Work.
She said about one out of five
States are giving particular at
tention to problems of juvenile
delinquency in "areas of special
need" This is allowed under
certain circumstances although
the laws sharply limit most of
the work to rural areas. She
commented:
The conditions surrounding
this part of the program. how
ever, make it difficult, if not i'm
possible, to continue treatment
activities in cities beyond the
initial stages"
In her opening statement, Mrs.
Hobby expressed concern over
the delinquency picture in WASH
ington. She declared:
"All of us have been shocked
at the revelation of juvenile de-
linquency here in the Nation S
Capital. AS Americans and as
parents we cannot escape a sense
OF shame for Dixon court right
here in the Capital of our
Nation.
"The record in this small area
OF 357 arrests in six years that
involved Dixon court dwellers is
sufficient cause alone for the
soberest kind of reflection about
the social maladies that spring
from poverty. When we note
that 38 of these involved juve-
niles. in offenses ranging from
truancy to murder, it is an even
more somber picture.

Snake Bites
Fatal To 10000

The snake bite, the dread of
field workers everywhere, takes a
toll of 10000 to 10000 lives year
ly in countries for which informa-
ton is available with the great
est number of deaths occurring in
Asia.
These estimates were made by
two statisticians from the United

undertaken to determine whether
snake bite deaths on a gIobaI
basis constitute a problem of
worldwide Importance, and there
by, matter of concern to the in
