Reds Killed Two Chaplains for Holding Services, Ex-POWs Say Freedom Village, Korea (U.R) horrors Freed war prisoners revealed to day the Communists killed two chaplains for holding secret Christmas services and broke the will of many Americans. Pvt. Edward R. Achee, medic from Detroit, said the fear less chaplains, one a Roman Catholic and the other a Protest ant, died of beatings after con ducting the forbidden services. Another liberated prisoner, Pfc. William J. Skipper, said he saw about 1,000 Americans die of malnutrition, dysentery and other ailments at Pyoktong dur ing the two years and six months he spent there. Gave Up Hop "The guys just didn't have any will power," Skipper, of Gali vants Ferry, S. C, said. Skipper indicated that the men had given up hope of getting out alive. Achee said the two chaplains went to his camp on Christmas day of 1950 to comfort the enlist ed men with religious services, "When they got back to their own compound, they were pretty badly treated," Achee said. The Protestant chaplain died a week later and the Catholic chaplain month later. Taken Far Away So many atrocities have been reported by prisoners returning to freedom in "Operation Big Switch" that the Army's hopes of recovering thousands of miss ing soldiers have fade Army intelligence already has learned that some of the cap tured Americans were taken as far away as Czechoslovakia and Poland for propaganda purposes and that others have been con scripted for slave labor in Man- churian mines and factories Pvt. Joseph G. Paquette 24. Grosvenordale, Conn., told of the Cap Got in Byes; Judge Drops Charge Memphis, Tenn. (U.R) Raymond L. Siurgii, 49, told a traffic judge he would never have collided with that other car if it hadn't been for his haircut. "I had just had my hair cut." he explained. "My cap fell down over my eyes and I couldn't see." The judge dismissed charges. of the now infamous "mining camp," a stopover for prisoners marching north to camps on the Yalu river. Bodies Left Outside He said about 100 in his group of 300 died during the four months he was in the "mining camp." When they died, the Chinese would take them and throw them outside the buildings," Pa quette said. "It was warm and there were worms and flies and the bodies didn't have a stitch of clothes. They would keep the bodies lying out there for a day or so and then have other pris oners throw them in a hole or ditch some place." Only Act of Congress Can Make Citizen of Haymes, Official Says Hollywood U.B An immi gration official said today that only "an act of Congress" could make an American citizen of singer Dick Haymes, 34, who faces possible deportation be cause he chased Rita Hayworth to Hawaii. Herman L. Landon, district di rector of the Immigration and Domiciliary Finance Officer Promoted Camp White Allan Hender son, finance officer at the Camp White domiciliary from the day of its opening, has accepted a newly created position in the ac counting department of the Navy Yard at Bremerton, Wash. Mr. and Mrs. Henderson and their two children, Lanny and David, who reside in Medford will leave Sept. 1. The job con stitutes a promotion, to organ ize a new office in accounting and management at the ship yard. Henderson, who was in the Navy in the last war, started in government service at the Ft. Peck dam. Montana, in 1935. He went to school at Everett and members of his family now live there. Henderson was active in Medford community life and is a member of the Toastmasters club. He came to Camp White from Montana as one of the original team sent there to convert the camp into a VA domiciliary. KNEW WHERE TO GO Richmond, Va. U.PJ A black cat strolled into the emergency room of the medical college of Virginia Hospital here and gave birth to a litter of kittens. Naturalization Service, also said he considered the crooner s chances of being deported good." The singer, a citizen of Argen tina, was arrested by immigra tion authorities yesterday. Free on Bond A few hours later, he was re leased on $500 bond, pending his appearance before an immi gration examiner. Haymes was charged with vio lating the McCarran-Walter act by going to Hawaii in June for a singing engagement and a visit with Miss Hayworth, divorced wife of Prince Aly Khan. Under the McCarran-Walter act, an alien such as Haymes can remain in the United States but cannot re-enter without special permission if he leaves. Avoided Army Service The Department of Justice charged he is an alien ineligible for U. S. citizenship because he avoided the military draft in 1944 on grounds he was a citi zen of a neutral country, Argen tina. Haymes, insisting he was no draft dodger, said "I was exam ined twice and found physically unfit because of hypertension and high blood pressure." Miss Hayworth, whose charms got Haymes into legal hot water, was busy having her picture taken by a magazine photog rapher at her Brentwood man sion when the crooner was ar rested. Nothing to Say "Miss Hayworth has nothing to say," the star's secretary said. But HajVnes estranged wife, Nora, a former wife of actor Er rol Flynn, staunchly defended him. She said she would resume the action after Haymes was "out of this mess, 41 J St-"- ,-A: S5&3???'-' f I X 0 (f4 H s -vj I o A,t A I I .1 If i n It r - Friday. August 7.

Kerr, a member of the Senate Finance committee, said today President Eisenhower's pocket veto of a bill to repeal the 20 per cent movie admissions tax is "pushing a drowning man back in the creek." The Oklahoma Democrat told newsmen, "I deeply regret the decision," "He's pushing a drowning man back into the creek after we had succeeded, at least for the moment, in pulling him out," Kerr said. Sen. Homer Ferguson R-Mich.-newly elected chairman of the Senate Republican Policy com mittee, told a reporter "I understand and appreciate the President's reasoning but they (theater owners) do have end exceptional case." Ferguson said he hoped Con gress will re-examine the whole excise tax structure next January.
