Non-Red Prisoners
Flee To UN Guards
During Transfer
Compounds Broken
Into Smaller Groups
Koje Island, Korea (U.R)
Three hundred and four non
Communist prisoners bolted
from their Red comrades during
the breakup of two more prison
compounds Wednesday.
U. S. 2nd Division guards with
fixed bayonets herded 5,600 war
prisoners from once unruly Com
pound 83 and 3,400 others from
Compound 603 into small, more
manageable SOO-man enclosures
without resistance.
All 04 prisoners who dashed
for freedom from Red rule had
been in Compound 85. They fled
from the Communist ranks and
flung their red-starred caps in
the dirt to enthusiastic cries of
"Attaboy!" and "Come on, Joe!"
from the American guards.
One of the prisoners displayed
wounds apparently received in a
recent beating by Communist
"goon" squads.
The latest movement brought
to 61,000 the number of prison
ers shifted to smaller enclosures
or whose compounds have been
searched for tunnels, weapons
and Red propaganda.
In Washington, acting Defense
Secretary William C. Foster said
that diplomatic approaches are
now being made to certain na
tions" to arrange for a team of
neutral military observers to in-
spect the riot-torn prisoner-of-
war camp.

Russian Charge
Of Plane Attack
Brings Rejection
Swedish Cabinet in
Emergency Meeting
Stockholm, Sweden (U.R)
The Swedish Air force rejected
Wednesday a Russian charge
that one of its planes fired on
Soviet jet fighters.
Relations between Sweden and
Russia plunged to a new post
war low.
Cabinet in Meeting
The cabinet held its . third
emergency meeting in three days
to consider the shooting down of
Swedish air force plane by
boviet et fighters and the Rus
sian charge that the Swedish
plane .fired when challenged
after violating Soviet territory.
ine Swedish air lorce said the
plane could not have fired be
cause it was completely un
armed.
Minesweepers Armed
Swedish armed minesweepers
stood by the spot in the Baltic
where wreckage of a second air
force plane, which disappeared
last iriday, has been spotted 60
feet under the surface.
The government partly reacti
vated the World War II air ob
server corps and issued live am
munition to jet fighters and war
ships in the Baltic with orders to
shoot back if attacked.
It was disclosed in CoDen-
hagen that Danish planes and
warships also have orders to
shoot back if attacked in inter
national or territorial waters.
This was the chain of events
in an Increasingly complicated
situation:
Bullet Holes Found
1 A Swedish air force "flying
classroom" plane disappeared on
training flight over the Baltic
last Friday. Swedes believe it
was shot down by Russian fight
ers. This belief was hardened
when bullet holes were found in
one of the plane's liferafts.
2 A Swedish air force plane
seeking the "flying classroom"
was shot down Monday by MIG-
15 jet fighter planes. A German
freighter picked up its crew.
3 The Swedish government
sent Russia a stern protest over
this attack, demanding punish
ment of the attackers.
4 Russia alleged in a note
Tuesday night that the Swedish
plane had violated Soviet-held
territory and fired on Soviet
fighters which challenged it.
Reply Anticipated
5 Sweden's reply was ex
pected to be that the search
plane was shot down without
warning over the open Baltic
and that it had no guns with
which to return the fire.
6 The Swedish government
made it known a Swedish plane
accidentally flew over Russian
held territory last Friday and
that a formal apology was given
Russia for this violation. Thl
plane returned safely.

dent Truman's plan to take 21,

cal patronage system and put
them under civil service.
The vote was 56 to 29 in favor
of killing the plan.
Mr. Truman's reorganization
plan, originaly a bi-partisan rec
ommendation of -the Hoover
commission, would have abolish
ed the present system of having
first, second, and third class
postmasters appointed by the
president on recommendation of
a majority party member of
congress or leader and confirm
ed by the senate.

High Temperatures
Bring Out Damage
In Frost-Hit Pears .
High temperatures yesterday
brought out some frost injuries
in pears and peaches, according
to C. B. Cordy, county agent in
horticulture. The extent of the
damage is unknown, the agent
explained, due to its spottiness
and the fact "that none of us
have ever seen injuries such as
this so late in the season." "
' The injury to the pears is
more evident if they were ex
posed by being on the outside or
lop of tne trees. Damage was
highest in the Cornice, followed
by Bartlett, Anjou and Bosc
varieties, Cordy said.
Can Detect Injuries
Anyone thinning should make
a close examination of the pears.
Severe injury can be detected
by cutting the pear, and looking
for browning of the flash. Slight
injury can be found by peeling
the pear where it was exposed
and looking for a thin brown
layer. Where this has occurred it
is likely the pear will be deform
ed and show a blemish on the
skin later. Where the near is
brown in cross section, it may
fall after a deformed stage.
Peach damage can be detected
in the same manner, Cordy said
Heating Prevents Damage
He pointed out that where
heating was done there was no
frost damage.
In truck gardens, Cordv said
that injury now is quite evident
nd the grower can determine
if the crop is worth keeping. He
added that most tomatoes were
the warmer elevations and
less subject to the frost.
Frost injury to common vetch
was reported by Earle Jossy,
county agent, who said that in at
least two cases the crop was
made unprofitable for seed. If
30 per cent of the pods have
turned dark, it "will probably
pay them to cut it for hay." He
also noted the possibility of
grain injury, and said it should
be watched.

City Councilmen
Set Hearing Date
For Annexations
Card Table License
Action Postponed
The Medford city council last
night set hearing dates on the
annexation to two areas at oppo
site ends of the city. Both an
nexations will come up for hear
ing August 5.
The areas proposed for inclu
sion in the city limits are West-
side Heights addition, west of
the Washington school area, and
tract southeast of the present
city limits adjoining Verde Hills
No. 1, which was recently
brought into the city.
Both areas would be annexed
through petition, signed by 100
per cent of the property owners,
and a vote of the council. An
election would not be necessary
in either case.
The vote on setting the hear
ing date was unanimous for
Westside Heights addition.
Councilman Paul Selby voted
"no" on setting a date for hea'
ing on the east Medford tract.
Defer License Action
In other business, the council
deferred action, at least tempor
arily, on renewing card table 11
censes in six Medford taverns
and clubs. Councilman Stanley
Jones called for a recess after
a motion for renewal had been
made by Selby and had been sec-
ondedt After more than half an
hour the council reconvened and
the motion . and second were
withdrawn.
Card table licenses call for
fee of $50 for the first table, $25
for the second table and are fur
ther graduated for additional
tables. Income from card table
licenses last year amounted to
about $1,700.

Price Consideration
Assured Steel Makers
If Strike Concluded
Washington (U.R) Econ
omic Stabilizer Roger L. Put
nam said Wednesday the steel
industry has been promised
"friendly and sympathetic" con
sideration of a price increase be
yond $3 a ton if it negotiates a
wage contract with striking
steelworkers.
Higher Prices Discussed
Putnam told a new conference
that he and acting Defense Mo
bilizer John R. Steelman dis
cussed a $4.50 per ton price hike
"among other things" during the
latest steel wage negotiations
but that no figure was decided
on.
Putnam said Steelman has
"let them (the steel industry)
know it will get a friendly and
sympathetic hearing" on prices
if they settle the wage dispute.
Putnam's statement was made
as House members got a chance
to tell President Truman how to
handle the strike of 650,000
steel workers. The senate has
voted to request Mr. Truman to
use the Taft-Hartley act.

a further price increase.
