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."

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."
