OREGON Package Delivery To POWs Asked By UN Officials PANMUNJOM, Korea, Nov." 21 hh The United NationB asked the Communists Thursday to undertake the deliveries of Christ mas packages lor Allied prisoners neia ay uie ixeas. ... . It was the third time the U.N. has asked the Reds to accept par cels for Allied prisoners. So far, the Reds have agreed only to exchange mail. - ,. . ', Thursday's request was made in a letter from in. Cen. William K. Harrison, chief U.N. truce - delegate to North Korean Gen. Nam II. The letter was given the Communists at a brief liaison officers' meeting. "The approach of winter and the hardships imposed by cold weather make it particularly de sirable to take all possible steps at; this time to enable the cap tured personnel of both sides to receive relief parcels,", Harrison said.) : ..,'..- - .. "Further, the nearness of the holiday and New Year season, ' which many of the captured per sonnel of both sides customarily observe as a period of special spiritual ; and laminar slgniri cance, makes it especially ap proprlate that these deliveries should be undertaken with mini mum delay.". ; t Parcel Exchange- v': ' Harrison, first proposed a par cel exchange plan on Aug. 5. Shortly after -that time, the Reds said they had taken the project "understudy." ' -. When nothing happened, Harri son proposed it again Oct. 6. The Reds never answered the second letter. At a short meeting Wednesday, the U.N. apologized to the Reds for the inadvertent flight of an airplane over the neutral Pan rounjom zone while Identifying barrage balloons were hauled down because of high winds. The Reds protested the death of a prisoner on Nov. 16 in a u.N. camp on Koje island, claim ing he was "persecuted to death." : : Steel Placed for Reservoir Pillars I M l 1111 t M - r; , - - '-''"" tH3aU,i,iililWli Crews constructing Bend's 6,000,000.

THAT'S WHY I OOBUS. Aulhor of VAGABOND'S HOUSE Skilled Women Weave Purple Velvet for Elizabeth's Robe By O. D. GALLAGHER BRAINTREE, Essex, , England Nov. 21 IIP) Behind the closed doors of Warner's textile mills two women the most skilled in all the Brit ish Commonwealth were hard at work Thursday at the task of weav ing the royal purple velvet for Queen Elizabeth U's coronation robe. " ' . : It is a tedious, painstaking task that' will keep the pair, Miss Lily Lee and Mrs, Hilda Caiver, busy for the next three months. , Although they are closeted alone in the room with their 100-year-old handlooms, there is. no sound ex cept the rattle of the foot treadles that part the warp and the soft hiss of the flying shuttles carrying the weft. . Visitors are barred. And for the two skilled weavers there is neither time nor chance for anything but weaving eight hours daily until the task is done. . Each must turn out 20 yai'ds of, purple' velvet as uniform In coloi?. and dexture as It is. possible for. human skills to pitoduce, So fine is the weave and so ex acting the requirements that each day's work produces a scant one and one-half feet of cloth. The two women must concentrate constantly on their task, for the del icate weave is so fine that the Sheepman Tends Flocks from Air SALT LAKE CITY IIP) Charles W. Stoddnrd. who lives nenr the shores of Great Salt Lake, is the only known sheepman who tends his flock from an airplane. Stoddnrd got the idea for his one- man aerial "lift" to feed sheep three years ago when the govern ment aided sheepmen with "opera- tlon huylift" because of the severe winter. After taking flying lessons. Stod dard installed a hopper in a two seated Cub plane. The pilot can push a lever and release concen trated food pellets to the sheep ue low. In only 45 minutes, Stoddard can teed 1.000 head of sheep on Fre mont Island in Great Lalt Lake, flying at nn altitude of 50 to 100 feet. High water fences in the sheep and fences out coyotes. "HUMANE" TRAP LONDON, Nov. 21 (111 F. E. Sawyer built a better rabbit trap and the government Friday heat a path to his door. The Ministry nf Agriculture announced that Sawyer's "humane", trap is the best ever tested. It equals pres ent traps In efficiency, the minis try said, and avoids suffering. slightest variation in the pres sure of the razor-sharp cutters" that snip the silk threads and turn them into velvet pile would change the shade of the royal purple. Both women have been weavers for 30 years,, or more. But never, they said, have they been assigned a task like this., And beneath the mechanical rhythm of their work there is a fierce competition. For they know that although each is weaving 20 yards of the precious cloth, only one will be used for the coronation robe. . . ... The queen herself will select the finest, the possibly flawless length. The other will be held as a dupli cate in case anything could happen to the first piece while it is being tailored. . But the director of the mill in sists that no one, including the weavers, ever will know which length of velvet is selected. "Not even , the two women will be able to jdistinguish, between them," he SaiiJ.T ' t . ' The velvet will cost $39.20 per yard or a total of $1,568 for the two 20-yard lengths. Each is 21 inches wide. At another loom in the old mill a man is weaving a fabulous cloth of gold on a loom carrying 10,000 threads. When asked who had ordered the precious cloth, how much it will cost per inch and how permission was obtained to draw the gold from the Bank of England, mill direc tor Doe said: "I'm afraid I cannot tell you, it's confidential.'.'' .-t Cloth of gold is used for the cor onation canopy held over the mon arch's head during the most sacred moment of the ceremony, that of the anointing. Official Writing' Course Offered U.S. Employes ; By BERNARD BRENNER tuiiiUMj rrew tiuui Coinaijwniktfit) WASHINGTON (IK Was your ln-sevice training in maximising procedurally sound public obfus cation techniques phased out short of iinalization? Then take heart, brother. The Agriculture Department graduate school can give you a course in "official writing," government style. The course, according to a cata logue description, "considers ways of making official writing clear, vigorous, and readable in spite of the necessary rules and restrictions." Perhaps like this excerpt from an agriculture department re lease: "In setting the quotas for these importers, consideration will be given to the percentage which the applicant's imports prior to July 1, 1951, constituted of total im ports of the same type of cheese for the period beginning with the calendar month in which he start ed importing and ending June 30, 1951." Easily Explained : The writing school has a course on "tne wgic oi mecnanizmg in formation." It teaches "applica tion of the basic logical principals of mechanically organizing and classifying information to prob lems of organizing information for the specific purposes of sci ence, industry and government." j. Kendall Mcuarren, one oi three instructors for the "Official Writing" course, said he has about 15 students this year. They come from all branches of gov ernment and from private life. He uses the "horrible example" technique to show his students how not to write news releases. Example Cited 'I don't keep any stock releas es for examples," he said. "I just nick up two or three current piec es out of the flow every weeK. "In determining individual cheese import authorizations for 1952-53, unused remainders from 1951-52 will not be considered, and imports during the 1951-52 control period in excess of authorized quantities will be deducted from authorizations for 1952-53 of the importers concerned."
