Complaints of Ex-PWs Against
Cpl. Dickenson Reviewed
WASHINGTON Wt - The Army
Tuesday submitted a bill of par
ticulars at the court martial of
Cpl. Edward S. Dickenson listing
more than a score of one - time
fellow prisoners of war who al
legedly complained that Dickenson
appeared to follow the Chinese
Communist line.
Dickenson's shy, blonde wife,
Lottie, listened without apparent
emotion as the Army for the first
time cited the broad base of its
charges against Dickenson. The
defense hafl demanded such a bill.

Realtors to

Ragnor Johnson, recently ap
pointed Oregon State real estate
commissioner, and Mrs. Johnson
will be honored at a reception to
night by the Salem Board of
Realtors.

the receivins line will be Rudy

new position by Gov. Paul Pat
terson, April 1, succeeding Alvin
Crose. The Johnsonss have this
week moved to Salem from their
former home in Astoria, where
Johnson was a prominent real es
tate dealer.
ated a surprise by agreeing to ac
cept the bill of particulars without
delay. He had been expected to
ask for time to investigate the
specific allegations, j
However, Emery fought tenaci
ously to defend his 23 year old
client and moved successfully on
several occasions to have the testi
mony of prosecution witnesses
stricken from the record.
One of those named on the Ar
may's list, Cpl. Thomas "A. Car
rick of Blacksburg, Va., who
shared a foxhole with Dickenson
and was captured on tne same
day with him in Korea in 1950,
testified he sheard Dickenson give
the enemy the names of American
POW's who were plotting to escape
from a prison camp.
Under cross examination, Car
rick acknowledged he also heard
Dickenson admit to the Chinese
that he himself was planning an
escape.
Carrick, one of the prosecution's
star witnesses, testified with ob
vious reluctance.
"It's hard to say anything
against a man you fought in com
bat with," he said.
Dickenson, who originally chose
to stay in enemy hands but finally
came home, appeared relaxed and
unworried as his courtmartial con
tinued into the second day. He
smiled frequently and chatted with
his attorney. He is accused of in
forming on fellow POW's to get
favored treatment for himself.
