2 Th Ntwi-IUrltw, Reteburg, Ort. Sat. Oct. 1, 1949 Tito Claims Reds Infiltrate Spies In Yugoslav Army LONDON, Oct. 1-P)-Premier Marshal Tito accused Russia to day of trvlng to Infiltrate spies into the Vugoslav army and gov ernment In an effort to over throw him. The Yugoslav leader, replying to Thursday's Soviet note scrap ping the Russian-Yugoslav friendship treaty, charged that the Soviet government, "with dip lomatic notes full of insults and threats," followed by demonstra tive troop movements in coun tries bordering Yugoslav!, sought to Intimidate the Yugo slav people. Hungary and Poland yesterday followed Russia's lead in de nouncing their mutual aid trea ties with Yugoslavia, inner sovi et satellites in the Cominform are expected to take the same sten soon. Tito's new note Its wording mixed with pain and anger to ward Moscow was reported heie by Tanjug, the official Yugoslav news agency. "It Is well known that Soviet representatives tiled to organi'-e their agents within the Yugoslav government and Yugoslav army with a view of over throwing the legal Yugoslav government,' the note said. Russia's aim, It went on, was to exert pressure on the Yugoslav people "In order to realize lis undemocratic and anti social am bitions." Russia and the Tito regime have been quarreling since the Soviet-backed Cominform tossed Yugoslavia out of its member ship in June, 19-18. Their bickering reached a cli max with Russian denunciation of the 20-year assistance part which was signed during the war, In 1945.

Dirty Tales Not True; Pigs Really Detest Dirt By SAM SUMMEKLIN AP Newsfeatures RALEIGH, N. C Mr. Farmer, don't believe those dirty stories about your pigs. Mud-slinging rumors to the con trary, your pigs are by nature the cleanest and the smartest animals on your farm. Our four-footed friends In cer tain intelligence tests have out smarted even chimpanzees, brightest members of the ape family. Pigs can be easily househroK en, and can be trained to hunt as well as dogs. What's more, scientists test baby foods on baby pigs! The latter have a digestive system more nearly like that of humans than any other common animal. This is just a sampling of the many true facts about pigs, a breed of patient creatures that has been relegated by man to a life of mud and ignorance. The dirty, stories about pigs have been authored by the hog raisers themselves. Uninformed and misguided, they have maoe the picture of a clean and gen tlemanly pig a rare sight indeed. Let an expert explain Dr. H. A. Stewart, head of animal breed ing and swine research at North Carolina State College here In Raleigh. "Pigs have become associated with filth only because we don't jive them a chance to get away from it," explained Dr. Stewart. "With the temperature hovering around 95 degrees on hot um mer days, pigs just naturally scoot for the nearest waterhole. Since these oftentimes aren't pro vided, the normally clean -conscious pigs swallow their vanity and collapse into the closest mud wallow." Pigs don't have sweat glands like humans, he said. Instead, they have a layer of fat under the skin. For this reason, pigs can cool their bodies only by ra diation and evaporation of mois ture. Because of the fat layer, hogs like the temperature in the low 50s. Humans, of course, pre fer the hich 60s or low 70s. Emily Post would be needed to teach some pigs real table manners, but . any farmer can make respectable eaters out of his pigs. Pigs, contrary to world-wide belief, don't have gluttonous ap petites. Too many farmers fail to feed their pigs enough, not realizing that these animals re quire plenty of food because they grow proportionately faster than any other common animal. A sort of psychological fear Is created In pigs bv this action, giving them the Impression that there isn't going tr. be enough food to go around. That is why they dive for the feed trough when the slop comes around. When self-feeders are provided and less competition is present, pigs never show any indication of a ravenous appetite. gum underwear bottles fruit pianos stores pigs bote toys cows washers bricks bedding dogs matches vegetables pipe cigarettes mud seeds rape wool diamonds i i i .

Ten minutes la ter he took the elevator to the jail, two floors above. He found the Jail door open. Out To Dinner Deputy Sheriff William Kis singer, head jailer, said he had been working In the Jail office un til 10 minutes to eight, when he and his wife had gone to dinner at a restaurant on N. Jackson street, one block away from the court house. when thev came out of the res taurant, Kissinger said, he heard shouts and cries of "Help, police!" coming from the courthouse, but he dismissed tne noise as riu makinir a eommotion" in the women's quarters of the Jail. When Byrd discovered ine jau break, he released Mrs. Wilson and together with trustees they moved the Injured Jailer into the Wilsons' apartment in the jail. Byrd immediately returned to the sheriff's office to notify the state police, and to issue a call over KRNR for the sheriff's reserves. Enter Tank Mrs. Wilson said her husband had gone into the "tank," the heavily-barred section of the jail where dangerous prisoners are kept in response to request from one of them for "a suitcase to put my clothes in." As Wilson un locked the cell door, he was grabbed and beaten and kicked. Dr. Roy E. Han ford, w ho was called to examine Wilson, said he suffered severe contusions of the abdomen, In the region of the kid ney, and lacerations of his face and ears. Wilson was removed to Mercy hospital last night. Mrs. Wilson said the six prison ers were in the same cell. When they had beaten up the Jailer, they bound and gagged him with towels torn into strips. Called Ring Leader Mrs. Wilson said when she heard the commotion, she came to the door of the apartment, opening into the Jail lobby. She was grabbed by Kerstine and led into a cell. She described the 18-year-old Kerstine as "the ring leader" of the Jail break. Wilson was not armed, nor were there any weapons In the jail office. But the prisoners found the keys to the jail and escaped in the elevator, going down to the ground floor. Their escape from the court house was not witnessed, but po lice believe they separated. Two of the prisoners abandoned a ear, identified as stolen, at Winchester. State police said the car was re ported stolen shortly after 8:30. Calls For Help Mrs. Wilson said as soon as she was locked in the cell, she started to scream. She also directed four women prisoners in nearby cell to scream and shout also. Trustees at the Jail said they witnessed the assault on Wilson through a glass window between the "tank" and the section of the jail in which they are imprisoned. They were powerless to do any thing, however. As the escapees were leaving, they unlocked the trustees' section and invited them to come along. But these men about half a dozen in number, declined. Kissinger said he was told by Byrd, that a few minutes after the latter had arrived in the sheriff's office, he heard the ele vator descending from the Jail, around 8:30. He went up shortly and discovered the jail break. WALLBOARD Firtex Sbeetrock Mesonite PAGE LUVBER & FUEL 164 E. 2nd Ave. S. Phone 242 LEARN FREE! G. I.
