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.

Rati Liko Pop-Corny Movie
To the editor: You have pro
tested long and loudly against
the habit of Medford theatre
goers eating popcorn while
watching the movies. 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?

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.

Paris, Jan. 15 (U.R) Paris
body snatchers have started a
new black market in unclaimed
corpses, the newspaper Cite-Soir
reported, but no one seems to
know just how and where the
cadavers are being sold.
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.
