WEBSTER WASHINGTON MERRY-GO-ROUND BY CARL ANDERSON Thrill That Comes Once in a Lifetime. Qanntnr RiiccpII nvc Wr.nl- He Henry Needs Is a Mrs. Estes Kefauver 4 Salem, Oregon, Friday, June 13, 1952 'NO POSITION TO DICTATE' North Korean Gen. Nam 11, chief communist negotia tor in the long stalled Korean peace talks, told the dele gates at their last fruitless session that "the United Na tions is in no position to dictate anything either on the battlefield or in this conference." While he used softer words than customary, he remained unyielding on the final issue blocking an armistice-prisoner exchange. There seems to be no end in sight to these futile nego tiations largely because each side regards itself victorious. The United Nations command long since submitted its final terms providing for the repatriation of some 70,000 communist prisoners in return for approximately 12,000 allied personnel, but precluding the surrender of nearly 100,000 anti-communist Chinese and Koreans to Red fir ing squads and slave labor camps. While the communists reject these terms they refuse to recess the conference and insist on daily meetings to retain a forum for Red propaganda. This is to the effect that under the Geneva convention, to which they have not subscribed, they are entitled to demand the forcible return of all prisoners and that the allies are subjecting prisoners to atrocities. As usual the communists are accusing the UN of their own practices. Any atrocities In Korea have been com mitted by the Reds themselves who have killed UN pris oners, failed to account for thousands of them, tortured and murdered hundreds of anti-communists among the prisoners and instigated bloody riots in UN prison camps. The Geneva convention provides that "prisoners of war shall be released and repatriated without delay after the cessation of hostilities." But it also provides tht the detaining powers shall take into account the interacts of the prisoners themselves and that the transfer shall always be effected humanely. It also provides that in the absence of agreement each of the detaining powers shall carry out its own plan for release and repatriation of prisoners. As a fact Russia since World War II has ignored the Geneva convention and kept millions of prisoners in slave camps, subject to torture, starvation and purges. The same policy has been followed in the Kremlin satellite na tions, by the Chinese and Korean Reds and in all coun tries under communist tyranny. PACE ADMITS 'MAJOR WAR' The Truman administration has finally admitted offi cially that "a major war" is going on in the Far East. Army Secretary Pace said so earlier this week in testi mony in the House of Representatives. An appropria tions subcommittee of the House was hearing the Army high command's complaint that there wasn't enough man power in Korea to control Communist rioters at the Koje island prison camps. With the Korean war about to go into its third year in less than two weeks, the Truman administration has de cided apparently that, election year to the contrary, con gress had better realize the status of conditions In the Orient. The months of hoping that an armistice might be possible have come to an end. The hope is still there, but the bitter realization that the United Nations have lost the initiative to the enemy has' discouraged any real hope at this time. Army Secretary Pace was blunt, likewise, In admitting that the American Eighth Army had to meet twice its number in fighting the Communist horde against it. As a result, the allied forces have difficulty in sparing men to keep the unruly prisoners under control. Columnist Drew Pearson noted yesterday that the Brit ish intelligence believe the buildup of Communist forces in Korea is for a gigantic offensive timed with a break down in the truce talks. The American intelligence feel that a new attack is not in the cards. The extent of Brit ish fears is noted in General Montgomery's presence in that war zone. Secretary race's admission of a "major war" is an indi cation of the seriousness of the crisis in the Orient. "Police-action" ideas are all out the window. The Tru man administration should continue to talk frankly about Korea, now that Pace has finally admitted officially what is going on over there.

There is no gift a man would rather have on Father's day than a bathroom his very own bath room. Ladles, you may object: "But Dad already has his own bathroom." Does he? He may in name but never in fact. Whether you live in a log cabin or a marble palace of 100 chambers, the odds are he really doesn't have a bath room he can enter and leave at his leisure. I have never met a married man who felt he had a bathroom he could honestly call his own, except when the rest of the fam ily was away on vacation. The chances are that if they designed a house that was all plumbing except for the kitch en, father still wouldn't have that bathroom. Here's what happens: A fami ly in modest circumstances makes some money and builds a home that has a bathroom for every member and one left for guests. "This is your bathroom, dear," Mama tells Papa. He can't be lieve it. After all these years. Jobber Tends Baby of Victim New York VP) A knife-wielding robber bound a young . mother with picture wire recently and stole her J6.000 ring but before he left he fed the baby. The mother, 20-year-old Mrs. Anita Laken, said she was fixing lunch for her 18-month-old son, Lane, when a man rang the door-bell and said he was with the office of price stabilization. Hinting that Mrs. Laken's rent might be reduced, the man left. In 15 minutes he was back and this time produced a knife. He bound Mrs. Laken to a chair with the wire and took the ring. The mother pleaded to be released because the baby was 111 and it was time for his medicine. "I'll give him his medicine," the man said, and did. "He needs his milk, too," said Mrs. Laken. The robber heated the bottle, fed the baby, and fled. Thirteen's Her Number Minneapolis (P) Having the date in mind, Janice Heidel berger claimed a special place In the spotlight Friday.

Girl Bites Dog-Catcher Medford Lakes, N. J. VP) A girl bit a dog-catcher here. Ellis C. Glover, 26, testified before Municipal judge Ephralm Tomlinsen Thursday that he was bitten on the left arm by ' Lucy Fay, a junior at Mount Holly high school. Lucy admitted she did bite Glover, when he tried to take away her dog "Freckles" last May 23. "He twisted my arm when I reached into his car to get Freckles back," Lucy testified. "I blew up and bit him." Judge Tomllnson dismissed the case. Only Friday the 13th in 7952 Chicago P) If you're superstitious, take It easy. It's Fri day, the 13th.

VP) Who does a policeman call for help When something is stolen? McAlrstcr cops are beginning to wonder. A police cruiser was stolen Wednesday a few steps from the police station. It was found several hours later abandoned five miles northwest of the city. Just a little more than a month ago a bold burglar entered Police Chief Koy Anders' home while he was at church and stole his pistol.
