Truce Team Surprises
Seds With Quote From
Repatriation Principle
MUNSAN (JP) The Allied truce team surprised the Reds Satur
day at the resumption erf Korean armistice negotiations by quoting a
Russian publication which praised the principle of voluntary repat
riation. Red insistence on forced repatriation of all prisoners of war Is
the last big roadblock barring the way to a Korean armistice.
Mai. Gen. William K. Harrison
Jr., senior UN Command delegate,
told the Communists that while
the Chinese and North Koreans
have expressed contempt "Jor any
nation which would support the
firinciple of no forced repatria
lon." it would probably come as
as surprise to them to learn that
his principle was utilized twice
during World War II by the Soviet
L'nion.
Hussia is "a nation for which
your governments have, upon oc
casion expressed great admira
tion." Harrison added dryly.
Harrison turned the tables on
the Reds by citing Soviet pro
cedure during a 30-minute session
w:iich reopened negotiations after
three -day recess called by the
Ati
At Communist insistence an
o'iier meeting was scheduled for
fcunday.
Harrison told the Reds that on
Jjn 8, 1943, the Soviet command
addressed an ultimatum to Ger-ir.-in
officers and soldiers, order
ing them to "cease resistance."
This ultimatum guaranteed life
and security and, after the end
of the uar, their return to Ger
r.vany or to any country the pris
oners should desire to go to," Har
r;:.jn said.
At this point Gen. Nam II, chief
Communist delegate, looked up in
vhat appeared to be great sur-
Harrison also cited of a similar
l.'isLance during the siege of Buda
te;:, Hungary, during World
V3l II.
Harrison said it "might be of
further interest" to the Com
rnunist delegation to know that
the Soviet Institute of the Acad
emy of Sciences described the
Budapest ultimatum as "the high
est act of humanitarianism."
He then accused the Reds of
stubbornly opposing the principle
of voluntary repatriation as "in
ctmpatible with humanitarian ob
jectives" or with international
ru es or customs of warfare.

Funds for BPA
Win Approval
In Congress
WASHINGTON Sen. Cordon
(R-Ore) said Friday a Senate ap
propriations subcommittee has ap
proved appropriations totalling
$73,123,400 for construction and
operation of Bonneville Power
Administration facilities in the
Pacific Northwest.
The figure is the same as that
previously approved by the House
in passing the Interior Department
appropriation bill for tho 12
months beginning July 1.
Cordon, a subcommittee mem
ber, told a reporter approval also
had been given to start construc
tion of the Kennewick division
of the Yakima, Wash., irrigation
project. The actual amount of the
funds for this work was not avail
able. The subcommittee approved a
total of $2,750,000 for access road
construction in the O&C lands in
Oregon. All but $700,000 of the
amount is earmarked for road con
struction in connection with the
salvage of wind thrown timber.
Rehabilitation of the Savage
Rapids Dam at Grants Pass. Ore.,
also came in for $700,000, Cordon
said.
Of these amounts, only that for
Bonneville was contained in the
House-approved bill. Tho others,
if approved by the Senate, still
must be acted on by tho House.

Favors to Racketeers
Charged to Tax Men
WASHINGTON (jp)-Sen. Williams (R-Del) said Friday the U. S.
Treasury let racketeers Frank Costello and Phil Kastel duck payment
on huge tax delinquencies for years while they raked in fat profits
from slot machines and other ventures.
Willams said the Treasury has "marked off" $315,156 in taxes
due from Kastel over the past 15 years, and he told the Senate:
This does not include $148,043
which was marked off by the gov
ernment in 1942 as representing
cancellation of proposed penal
ties." Firing another Salvo In his one
man campaign to expose tax
scandals, tho Delaware Senator
declared:
"The administration's boast
about being the defender of the
average man has a hollow ring
when one observes the manner in
which they have enforced the in
come tax laws against America's
most notorious racketeers as com
pared with the manner in which
our tax laws are being enforced

As an illustration, Williams cit
ed a report in the Houston, Tex.,
Post that the government has
threatened to sell the $5,000 home
of a crippled retired watchman to
collect an unpaid $3.90 income
tax bill.
Williams said he has been In
formed that the Internal Revenue
Bureau, tho nation's tax-collecting
agency, is now Investigating
Costello's tax returns for the
World War II period.
He said the bureau's special
rackets squad is also looking into
Kastel's tax returns for the last
six years.
Costello and "Dandy Phil" Kas
tel both figured as prime targets
in last year's hearings before the
Senate Crime Committee, then
headed by Sen. Estes Kefauver
(D-Tenn).
Both were cited for contempt
for refusal to answer questions.
Costello was convicted at a New
York trial, fined $5,000 and sen
tenced to 18 months in prison. His
case is pending on appeal.
The charge against Kastel was
dismissed in Louisiana, his home
bailiwick.
It has been calculated that there
are 10 billions tons of gold in the
sea water of the world.

Pastor Held
For Shooting
PORTLAND (;P- The 72 -year-old
pastor of a downtown mission
was booked in city jail Friday fol
lowing a fatal shooting in a room
ing house.
Police reported that Rev. James
Lafayette Yokum, 72, told them
ho shot Frank Wilson, a handy
man in the rooming house, after
Wilson came after him brandish
ing a hammer and an ax.
Yokum, police said, gave this
report of the shooting. He called
at the rooming house to see a
parishioner. As he stopped his
car, 'Wilson slapped at him." Yo
kum took a .25 caliber automatic
from the glove compartment and
entered the house. When he
reached the upper corridor, Wil
son rushed at him armed with the
hammer and the ax.
Yokum took the gun from bis
jacket and fired.

Prolie of Cost
Of Luxury Ship
Asked by HST
WASHINGTON (JP) - President
Truman ordered an inquiry Friday
to determine whether the govern
ment is paying too much toward
the cost of the new luxury liner
United States, formally turned
over to the U. S. Lines a few hours
earlier.
The government is paying 42
million dollars or more and the
shipping company 28 million.
Noting that the size of the gov
ernment's subsidy to the new liner
had been seriously challenged by
various officials, Truman said in a
letter to Attorney General Mc
Granery: "It would seem advisable to con
sider steps that should now be
taken to protect the government's
rightful interest. Accordingly, I
request that you determine what
legal action should be taken by
the government . . .
"The clearly desirable objective
of promoting an adequate mer
chant marine cannot be used to
condone the allowance of excessive
subsidies to individual ship oper
ators." Under a 1949 contract, the gov
ernment agreed to pay an esti
mated 42 million dollars toward
the cost of the huge ship, the
world's third largest and evidently
its fastest passenger liner.
In accordance with that contract,
and disregarding strenuous objec
tions which had been raised by
Comptroller General Lindsay War
ren, Secretary of Commerce Saw
yer Friday turned the liner over
to U. S. Lines for 28 million dollars.

Monaghan told a press confer
ence he is placing charges against

Actually, Monaghan revealed,
Gross accused all 24 of the police
men he inspected.

Firecrackers
Really Loud
VALLEY STREAM, N. Y. VP)
Two small boys playing with small
firecrackers gave the whole Valley
Stream area a bang Friday.
They decided to find out how
loud a noise a midget firecracker
would make when exploded in an
empty 2,000-gallon gasoline tank.
One boy touched off the cracker.
The cracker touched off fumes in
the tank.
, Results:
The heavy tank, weighing more
than a ton, was lifted .into the
girders of the trestle under it which
was stored and twisted around a
steel beam.
The whole village felt a Jar.
And two small boys, Carl Heu
ther, 11, and Robert Muhr, 11, had
to be treated for burns before
they went home for possibly more
explosions.
Steel Pinch
Threatens to
Keep Curbs
WASHINGTON (JP) - The steel
strike's sharpening pinch on the
nation's economy led the govern
ment Friday to scrap plans lor
relaxing building restrictions on
July 1.
The Defense Production Admin
istration postponed indefinitely
any easing of curbs on steel for
home construction and building of
amusement and recreation centers.
A go-ahead on most banned con
struction had been planned before
the strike began on June 2.
Meantime, an Associated Press
survey of arms manufacturers and
defense experts showed they ex
pect military production to come to
a virtual halt within a few weeks
if the steel strike continues.
The walkout of 650,000 members
of the CIO steel workers union
now in its 19th day was contin
uing without sign of a break.
President Truman held off invok
ing the Taft-Hartley act, with its
provisions for 80-day court in
junctions to stop big labor strikes.
Meanwhile the concern of de
defense officials was heightened,
too, by the strike of 3,300 workers
at General Electric Company's Jet
engine plant at Lockland, O., near
Cincinnati, and a threatened strike
at the North American airframe
pjam at Englewood, Calif.
' The Lockland-produced engines
are used in the Englewood -produced
frames. The two plants turn
out about half of all Sabre jet
fighters used in Korea.

Sprague Tells
Editors Need
For Writing
PALO ALTO, Calif. W Char
les A. Sprague, publisher of th
Salem, Ore., Statesman and former
governor of Oregon, told the Call
fornia Newspaper Publishers As
sociation Friday night .there is a
crying need for better-written,
more informative, more interesting
newspaper editorials.
Editorial writers, he said, should
avoid "Afghanastanism" writing
only on remote problems. Rather,
he said, they should not be afraid
of dealing with local "hot pota
toes." Sprague said the first essential
for an editor today is awareness
of his responsibilities
"The editor," he said, "is In mid
stream and ought to get into the
swim. He should not hesitate to
take on dragons abroad or the
crackpots at home."
Sprague aaid that readership
surveys have showed that, unfor
tunately, many editorial columns
get considerably less readership
than the sports page. He declared
that this Is partly the fault of edi
torial writers who should make
their copy so interesting that read
ers would not pass their pages by.
