For Reds in Korea,
Ex-pOW Tells court
By II. A.soeIas.d psss


FORT SILL. Okla. Jan. 2s--
The Army's frst witness In the
general court-martial Of Maj.
Ambrose II. Nugent returned TO
the stand today and swore the
veteran officer made q propa-
ganda broadcast for the North
Korean Communists after his
capture in the Korean War.
Sergt. Marvin E. Talbert. 35-
year-old career soldier from Fort
Bragg, N. c., corroborated testi-
, 'inony given previously by an-
other former POW. Mlsergt.
Harvey N. Bailey Of Amarillo.
Tex.
Sergt. Talbert swore he heard
Mai. Nugent, then o captain, In
form q group Of n prisoners In
Seoul that he had made q broad
cast for their Red captors to
save all their lives.
II have made a broadcast for
the security Of the group" the
sergeant quoted the Merrill,
Wis, officer as announcing to
the room full of troops.
Heard Recording Later.
Sergt. Talbert also told the
court that he heard a propa-
ganda broadcast, or recording, a
few days later while eating with
several other prisoners. He said
the voice was that Of Maj.
Nilgent.
Sergt. Talbert said he didn't
hear all Of the statement, but
as near as he could understand,
It said something "about these
people being our friends and
that our troops should lay down
their arms"
Sergt. Bailey previously testi-
ned Maj. Nugent prepared q
propaganda blast to the effect
that South Korea invaded North
Korea, that the action was a
civil war. that the United States
intervened unlawfully and that
the United States Gath Division
should lay down It's arms.
The chief defense counsel,
Maj. Robert e. Hough, ham,
Inered hard at Sergt. Talbert's
inability to pinpoint the partic-
ulart day Of the alleged broad
cast. He also ridiculed the wit
ness certainty with which he
identified the propaganda voice
as that Of Mai. Nugent.
One Witness Excused.
The fifth day of Maj. Nugent's
court-martial began today with
the court excusing Sergt. lIc
Minford L. Stearns, the witness
who said the Wisconsin officer
informed him he made sur
render leaflets for the Commu-
niSts.
Last Of four witnesses yester-
day. Sergt. Stearns' disconnected
account touched of one Of the
hearings biggest legal tangles.
The snarl forced the law officer,
1t, Col. Donald L. Names, jr.,
to: keep questioning down by
the nine-colonel court.
Sergt. Stearns, IS, an Army
aviation man from Fort Knox,
KY, testified that in private
conversation with Mai. Nugent
the officer showed him a speech
he had written and asked Sergt.
Stearns to read it to other
prisoners.
Sergt. Stearns said he pro-
tested that the material could
get you in trouble" The accused
replied, Sergt. Stearns asserted,
that he had made leaflets
worse than that" to be dropped
over American lines.
Mai. Nugent added that all he
would have to do when he re-
turned home would be to say he
was forced to sign the material
"and nothing would be done
about It," the witness said.

"If motorists would not try to
pack too much activity into the 78-

tragedy could be avoided" Thomas

being cautious is when planning the
trip. Don't try to cover too much
ground; begin your trip, and your
return home, so as to allow a little
extra time for traffic congestion and
emergencies. The rest is simply ad-
herring to the basic driving rules and
exercising little courtesy and self
control when you drive. These simple
things could mean the difference be-
tween safe trip and tragedy for
every motOrist on the road"

despite the heavy curtailment of fishing in 1855, the pack in South eastern Alaska was about 400, 900 of pink salmon as of this date com pared with a pack of about 225,00O in the parent year of 1853. Spawn ing escapementS, while generally low, show some increase over the parent cycle ill those districts where comparisons can be made at this time. Complete restoration of the depleted southern pink salmon runs, while still some years off, looks more possible under the en- phasis of the present program, the FWS said.
 FWS officials will propose for the next two years continuation of the present rigid restrictions imposed on fishing gear and fish ing areas two years ago in order to hasten the rehabilitation of these runs.
