One Of the most damnable
practices of the extreme
political right is a willing
ness to smear the Americans
who were prisoners of war in
Korea with a blanket indict-
ment based on the conduct
of a few. That the Birch So
ciety and others like it are
willing to impugn the integ-
rity of thousands of soldiers
who were prisoners merely to
further the aims of rightist
propaganda is a shocking
thing and needs to be exposed.
A movie has been made
based on the misbehavior of
a small number of prisoners.
It's narration is a slick,
smooth job which, in passing.
says there were prisoners
who did not act as did those
in the movie script, played
by professional actors. But it
is all a part of a glib, rather
rapid narrative, and the
overall effect is to discredit
Americans who were prison.
ers of war in Korea.
Over and over, we hear the
statement: "It was the first
war in which no American
prisoner Of war escaped"
The implication is that none
tried.
This charge is utterly
false.
The truth is that several
hundred American prisoners
of war escaped from Korean
camps.
What happened to them?
The story is worth know

The prison camps were

WORDS, WIT

BY WILLIAM MORRIS

President Kennedy's recent
use of "finalize" has prompted
some casual comments to the
effect that this unnecessary
coinage must now be deemed a
proper part of cur language
Such suggestions betray a basic
ignorance of our language and
the way it grows.
No one person-not even the
President-can establish a word
as an item of correct usage by
favoring it with his mark of
approval. The first of the

row when he undertook to

Heavy SiIoge OK
For Dairy Cows

The recent dry weather has left
many dairy farmers with am empty
haymow and sad prospects for a
winter supply of hay. William HI.
Henderson. County Agent, say S
farmers may use heavier feelings
of silage to help solve the problem.
He points to research reports and
farm studies where dairy cows
have thrived on all hay or all
silage rations without affecting
their milk production.
Farmers with an extremely
limited hay supply should con-
slider ensiling their field corn.
Grain prices are not expected to
advance and plentiful supplies of
shelled corn are available FIR o m
the mid-western states.
III n d rson rec com m d s
droug h t-s tr i ken corn be en-
siled before it becomes too dry for
adequate preservation. 1t may be
necessary to add some water when
ensiling. If heavy rains come, do
not ensile or feed crops for 8 to 5
days to prevent nitrate poisoning
or poison gas problems.
1t is strongly suggested that
sodium metabisulfite be used in
ensiling all crops hit by the
drought Preliminary research at
the University of Minnesota indi-
oates that the use of pounds of
bisulfite per ton of forage ensiled
will keep nitrous oxide gas forma-
tion at a minimum and prevent
destruction of carotene 1t could
also help to reduce forage dry
matter losses when the corn en-
silage contains little or no grain.
The quality or overall feeding
value of corn ensiled with little
or no ear development will be con-
siderably lower than normal. How
ever, Henderson believes it can be
used to meet minimum y
equivalent needs and ease the hay
shortage. Heavy silage fe d i n G
could enable many dairymen to get
through the winter with little or
no purchased hay.
