GI'S IN KOREA TO APPEALTO PUBLIC Seoul, Korea, Jan. IS (U.B A committee representing all Gri In Korea came away from an Interview with Secretary of War Robert P. Patterson last night still dissatisfied with the army's demobilization program and determined to carry their complaints directly to the Amer ican public. The four GI committeemen said they had collected a fund of $1,200 for an advertisement In the Washington Post explain ing their views on demobiliza tion. The advertisement, they said, would protest the slow-up In army discharge rates and would state that the GI's In Korea favored a long-range de mobilization plan with the draft continuing until rotation of all army personnel was assured. Patterson told a press con ference after his meeting with the committee that he also fav ored getting overseas veterans home as soon as replacements were available. But he declared his opposition to all mass dem onstrations by American service men and said he believed sol diers should take their com plaints to their commanding officers.

I heartily agree. It is bad enough when only the people partake, but when rats four-legged ones join the feast It is, as Alice in Wonderland would say, "too much of a muchness." Last Saturday evening I dropped into a Medford theatre and presently found my eyes straying from the film to the rats in the aisle. They were coyly nibbling at popcorn dropped by patrons. Big, fat, sleek rats they were, first-comers soon being joined by their cousins and their uncles and their aunts. Surely there is some union of the Actor's Guild which will rise in protest against this entertainment by non-union members. And let us suppose that these rats should tire of their vege tarian diet and nibble at a shapely calf. It would be dis concerting to say the least, In' tact the resulting pandemonium would in all likelihood put a good healthy fire to shame. Aside from an esthetic dis taste for rata, I have no desire to contract any of the horrible diseases they are known to carry. Isn't it time that the services of a Pled Piper were solicited? H. D. N. (Name on Pile). UNDER RESTRAINT London, Jan. 15 OJ.R) A TJ. S. army court martial ordered criminal charges filed against the former commandant of the American military prison at Lichfield today and restrained him from further contact with witnesses who have testified to brutalities committed against GI's -at the Lichfield guardhouse. The court's ruling came after Prosecutor Capt. Earl J. Carroll, San Francisco, Calif., alleged that the ex-commander, James A. Kilian, had instructed wit nesses in their testimony. Witnesses testified during the trial that GI's imprisoned in the Lichfield guardhouse were pun ished severely for minor infrac tions of the camp rules. Several former inmates said they were forced to scrub the floors with toothbrushes, made to eat their meals in five minutes and to stand with their noses and toes pressed against a prison wall.

Cite-Soir said the ghoulish racket was uncovered as a re sult of recent complaints by French medical schools that they were not getting enough cada vers for their dissection classes. The newspaper hinted at the existence of an organized band of thieves of a "very special type" who, for reasons not quite clear, were interested in side tracking bodies which normally would be used for dissection by surgical students. Cite-Soir said persons respon sible for the burial or other dis position of unclaimed corpes in Paris were selling the cadavers to the body-snatchers who. In turn, were using them for some mysterious black market racket.
