American Back From Siberia SAYS
Guards Killed LILO In Rebellion

BERLIN, R-An American re-
leased from a Soviet slave labor
camp at Vorkuta said Tuesday a
rebellion flared there in July,
1858, in which guards moved
down 10 prisoners on the spot
and wounded 500 more.
John H. Noble, 81, Of Detroit,
who was released by the Russians
on Saturday after 912 years Of i'm
prisonment, told a news confer
ence the vast network of prisons
in Russia needs only spark" to
explode in open revolt.
Noble said the revolt at Vokuta,
in arctic Russia northeast Of Mos
cow, was inspired and organized
by followers of the executed So
Wet secret police chief L. P. Beria,
who was then under arrest. From
so to so persons were executed
later, he said, as a result of the
revolt.
Noble said the slave labor camp
at Vorkuta contained more than
half million inmates, of whom
95 per cent were dedicated to op-
posing the Soviet regime.
Noble said the inmates got the
impression Beria's men were try
ing to foment revolution through
out the Soviet Union to overthrow
Premier Georgi Malenkov's re-
CINE.
Noble described how he and his
father, a camera manufacturer,
were trapped in Dresden by World
War III and were compelled to re-
main there under local interment.
Both were arrested in 1915 by the
Russians. The father was released
seven years later. Young Noble
was taken from a German prison
to Vokuta in 1850.
He said he was sentenced to Is
years, although he was never
tried, and added:
Cali they ever told me was that
we were guilty of having received
American officers and soldiers in
our home in 1945 and that we had
American food in our possession.
Even when he was released, the
Russians declined any explana-
ton.
Life in the Siberian labor camp,
he said, is horrible and hopeless"
'None of us ever expected to
return" he said.
Noble was put to coal mining.
He said the temperature some
times reached as low as 40 degrees
below zero, and on one occasion
it fell to 70 below.

Potato growers sometimes are
puzzled by the seed pods, looking
like tomatoes, which grow on the
plants, but experts say that if the
seeds are planted, each separate
seed will develop different kind
of potato, almost never the same
kind found on the plant that pro-
duced the seed.

hydrants.
Dogs Big Issue
The big issue Of the meeting
was over the proposed dog ordin-,
ance with many present protest
ing the proposed annual fees of
SIS for male dogs and $40 for
females. Many were in favor of
a 81 fee for males and So fee
for females.
1t was explained that the ord
nance was proposed because
there were SO many complaints
to the city police concerning stray
dogs and the higher fee was to
finance the controlling of the
situation. The mayor stated that
the council had no intention of
passing any ordinance which the
public does not approve, and that
this is the time for everyone to
speak up SO that a suitable ord
nance may be drawn up for the
elimination of the strays.
Chief jerks reported that the
Al dogs disposed of in the past
two months is not even a good
start He said that Is to 20 dogs
is the average on the city dump
at night, but they are so wary
that the police have been unable
to catch them.

name societies, reported on suit

and mentioned special gloves as
well as the dog stick, a device
used for catching wild dogs.
