to live on the black market

The three soldiers were among

the Korean conflict ended. All

from the Army for choosing to
live in a Communist country

AT Won't Try Flyers
For False Confessions
BY the Associated Press

An Air Force spokesman says
q false germ warfare confession
was obtained by Chinese Com
munists from one of four re-
turned American jet pilots, but
no disciplinary action AGAINST
the officer is planned.
He named the flyer as Capt.
Harold Fischer, jr., of Swea
City, Iowa, a double jet ace of
the Korean War who was re-
leased May 81 after more than
two years in Chinese prison
camps.
The spokesman said Capt.
Fischer and three other flyers
released with him also Con-
fessed" to crossing the Yalu
River into Chinese territory un-
der Air Force orders. But he
said no such orders had been
given.
The spokesman said the ac-
tions of all four men are under
study, but he indicated they
probably will be given a clean
bill of health"
The Air Force has declined to
discipline any of its men for ac-
tions while they were Chinese
prisoners on the ground they
were acting under pressure of
Communist mistreatment.
The Marine Corps likewise de-
clined to bring court-martialI
proceedings against Col. Frank
Schwable. a flyer who made a
false germ warfare confession.
The Army, on the other hand,
has convicted four former pris-
oners of war on charges of COL
laborating with the enemy, and
has filed charges against num-
Der of others.

WASHINGTON baseball

A WASHINGTON DaSepaA
IA player in a major league
game executed a running
somersault over the fielder
with the ball. He landed on
third base, untouched.
A dead man once scored a
run. He ran from first to
third on a long hit, then col
lapsed. The hitter following
him around the bases picked
up the body and carried 1t
home. He touched the
corpse's toe to the plate, then
stepped on it himself to score
a grisly two-run homer.
A poor-fielding outfielder
once got an assist on a home
run by the opposition. The
ball hit him on the head ana
bounced over the fence.
These and many more base
ball stories come from the
mammoth collection Of Ira L.
Smith. Mr.. Smith, author OF
four baseball books, probably
has the largest amount OF
baseball material outside the
Hall of Fame at Cooperstown,
N. Y.
Mr.. Smith keeps his collec-
ton, much of it on microfilm,
at his home. 304 South Lee
street, Alexandria. It in
cludes a complicated filing
system of 4,598 summary
cards which relate the scant
facts of baseball stories.
From these, MIR. Smith, If he
wants details, can track down
the source from more than
5000 microfilms Of news
papers.
Since 1920, Mr.. Smith has
been assembling his collec-
ton. He pores over sports
pages from as far back as the
New York Mercury OF the
ls6O's in the Library of Con-
gress. When he sees some
thing worth filing, he photo
graphs it with special equip
ment. He develops the f1lm
at home, then screens 1t on q
microfilm reader while M
writes material from the story
on his typewriter.
In addition to the film
record, MIR. Smith has a com
plete file of Ofiacial Baseball
Guides since 1901, copies o
the Sporting News from lSS'
on. score cards from the Polt
Grounds dated in the 18SOs

has contracted to write
which will cover all the po-

When researching to pro-

his file, separating the stories
about the men who played the
position he is writing about.
He then further divides the
material, making out yellow
