(UPI) - How long does it take a man to live down the charge that be betrayed his country? For Otho G. Bell,. 31, it was about 10 years. Bell was one of several soldiers who were dishonorably discharged from the Army after being ac cused of collaborating with the Chinese Communists in a Korean prisoner of war camp. For years, Bell said, he was shackled' to the brand "turncoat." But during the past year or so, things have improved for Bell, his wife, Jewell, and their four children. Bell said he had encountered "no prejudice whatever" in re cent months. Just one year ago, he had said he would "rather hang" than continue life branded as a turncoat. He said he makes his living do ing odd jobs but he added, "when there is work to be found, I'll find it." Bell has built a wooden house on some land he purchased in a rural district east of here. "There's still a lot to be done," he said motioning to the unpaint ed walls and cluttered interior. "But' I'm getting there." ' Bell remained in Red China for 18 months after the end of the Korean War. But ha steadfastly denies that he was a traitor. He said he hoped that his case would be brought to court even tually so that he would get the uhance to clear his name. The U. S. Supreme Court ruled that Bell, and others who re mained with the Communists, could not be tried by courts mar tial on collaboration charges be cause the Army lost jurisdiction wnen it discharged them. In another case, the Sunreme Court ruled that Bell was entitled to $1,455 prisoner-of-war pay. That was more than a . year , ago, but ne said ne sun -nas .not received the money. 'The lawyer" says I'll get the money sometime," he said, but I haven't seen it yet." Bell is a native of Mississippi but said he has decided to make Washington' his home. By many standards, Bell still is far from successful. But he feels that he is on the way up. "I was drawing relief for a while," he said, "but I don't need it now." ROYAL COURT of the North Douglas County Fair be sides Queen Norene Walker DarnaH will include four princesses from communities in the area. ' All will be crowned Saturday night in a pre-Fair ceremony at the Drain Community Hall. The coronation ball will also be an event of the evening.

COFFEE io ox. 89V BYRD"S MARKET West Harvard Finnish Police Break Up New Anti-Red Riots HELSINKI (UPI)-Police used tear gas to break . up another : anti - Communist demonstration ' Tuesday night in rioting filmed ! by' television cameramen from Moscow, sponsor of the World Youth Festival in this neutral na tion. ! Authorities said many of the several thousand participants in the fourth straight night of dem onstrations were teen-agers. They , theorized many were present fori lack of anything better to do on a summer night. The demonstration came as the festival observed its Soviet-Fin nish "Youth Friendship Day." There was no truncheon swing ing or use of mounted police, as in previous riots against the Communist-backed festival. At least ten arrests were made and there were no serious casualties, police said. (In Moscow, the government newspaper Izvestia said the riot ing was caused by adults who supplied whisky to teen-agers, then urged them on with periodic orders. ("The spectacle was well-re hearsed but the actors turned out to be very weak and the direc tors, people without taste." the f newspaper said.) Police dispersed the crowd by tossing four tear gas bombs. They also closed down a snack bar used as a hangout by Finnish teen-agers.
