But the warning was mild ly Worded and officials said the Reds apparently had accepted ttic Indian command's decision to re turn unrepatriated prisoners as an accomplished fact. However, North Korea's Pyong yang radio said the action "de stroys" the armistice agreement and tramples authority of the Neu tral Repatriation Commission. Quoting Red correspondents at I'anmunjom, the broadcast said U.S. armed troops surrounded the anti-Red camps, took the prisoners by force'and then handed them lo South Korean agents. The transfer went smoothly de-i spue minor miotics ana a cold drizzling rain. At least twice the southward flow of prisoners was interrupted.

She told the court she was standing by a troc when she heard tho shot and that, -ifler wards, the defendant pointed the gun toward her and "told me 1 hould be next."

Woodrich contended, the shooting "falls clearly in the cate gory of manslaughter " He said the act occurred because of an "uncontrollable impulse" and that Owens' state of min:l would be the basis of his defense. Woodrich denied that the defend ant had been guilty of proinedita tion. malice or deliberate action. Rather, he said, the act was not premeditated, but "done in a mo ment of blind impulse." He said the defendant was in a stale of depression and anxiety over the possibility of losing his children ami home. Divorce pro ceedings .had been instigated.

Problem Of Organizing Civil Defense Talked (Continued from Page One) through Deputy Director Mrs. Ixiis Baker of emergency welfare to her section chiefs to set wel fare operations moving. Considerable discussion hinged on the legal responsibilities if some volunteer or volunteered piece of equipment should be in jured. At present the responsibil ity for life, limb or equipment rests squarely on the volunteer legally. Several officials voiced a need for aid from governments requesting the volunteer aid in lime of natural disasters. County Judge Carl Hill came up with an idea that cities and counties might form an emergency fund for injur ies or damage. In times of war, the federal government carries the financial load. Hill pointed out that the court, as the rulin" body of the county, had the attitude it would stand by with "everything we have" in eases of emergency in spite of leffal technicalities. The only definite action taken at the afternoon meeting was a reauest that Parcher return to Salem with a recommendation to the State Legislature that some action bo taken to cover more adequately damage to equipment or persons.
