Pvt. John D. Martin, 24, Tule
lake, Calif., hag been charged
with giving aid and comfort to
the en emy while he was a Com
munist prisoner during the Ko
. rean war, the Camp Hanford
public information office said
yesterday.
The announcement said Mar
tin, son of Mr. and Mrs. Elmer
Martin, Tulelake, probably
would be tried by general court
martial at Fort Lewis, Wash.
Date of the trial has not been
set, the information office said.
Not in Barricaded Area
It was not disclosed how long
Martin had been assigned to this
post, which guards the vital Han
ford atomic works.
The post security and intelli
gence office said, however, that
Martin never had been inside
the Hanford barricaded area,
which is the actual production
section of the sprawling pluto
nium plant.
Martin was specifically charg
ed with "attempting to promote
disloyalty and disaffection
among fellow prisoners of war,
with knowingly communicating,
corresponding and holding inter
course with and giving aid and
comfort to the enemy" between
June, 1951, and April, 1953.
Martin was captured by the
North Korean Communists on
Nov. 17, 1950, and was, released
during operation "little iwitch"
in April, 1953.
Father Denies Guilt
At Tulelake, Martin'g father
said his son could not possibly
be guilty of the charge.
"I know my boy is not guilty,"
Martin said. "I don't think he
could have possibly given any
aid and comfort to the enemy
the way he was marked up."
Martin said his son had serious
shrapnel wounds in his back and
legs, and his feet and hands
were badly frozen when he was
freed during operation "little
switch."
The elder Martin said he would
fight the charges against his son.
"I think the Army is very,
very unjust," he said. "It has
been awfully damn tough with
all those boys who were in North
Korean prison camps."

O&C Timber Access
Road Regulations
Aired at Hearing
Portland (U.R) Pros and cons
of present and proposed O&C
timber access road regulations
were argued at.a Bureau of Land
Management hearing here yes
terday.
The hearing was resumed to
day. Arguing against existing
right-of-way regulations were
Harry Hogan, The Dalles, coun
sel for the Industrial Forestry
association; Nils Hult, Junction
City lumber operator and a di
rector of the IFA, and Joseph
Nolan of Tacoma, Wash., Weyer
haeuser Timber company at
torney. .
Smaller operators, represented
by Western Forest Industries as
sociation, opposed changing pres
ent -regulations. Their views
were expressed by Leonard Net-
zorg, WFIA counsel; Jack Buch
anan of Sutherlin and Ray Swan
son of Noti, WFIA officers.
IFA attorneys said the worst
feature of the present access
road rules was the amortization
method of paying for roads
through landgrant lands. They
claimed it gave the government
rights similar to those of the
road owner, once the road was
paid for.
The other group argued that
present rules offer "greater asr
surance of competition" for
O&C timber.
Judge Carl C. Hill of Rose
burg, speaking for the 18 O&C
counties, said amending present
regulations was preferred to in
stalling new ones.

Hi A Octane (Gras
dline
ou might expect that all you
need to get the full power out
of a high compression engine
is high octane gasoline. Actually
you need more than just high
octane you need a gasoline
with a special kind of additive.
That's because the way most of us
drive most of the time short trips
here and there creates a ' power
wasting problem that neither engine
design nor highest octane, gasoline
can solve by themselves.
- This problem is the increased
build-up of certain ; deposits within
the combustion chambers '. . . the prin
cipal cause of power waste.
What happens is this x
As your engine warms up, these
deposits warm up, too glow red
hot. And these glowing particles act
like hot coals ignite the gasoline
mixture ahead of time . . . before the
pistons reach proper firing position.
This is called pre-firing and means
that power works against you instead
oifor you.
In addition, these same deposits
have another power-wasting effect: '
They foul spark plugs, causing your
engine to miss.
Engineers will tell you there's
nothing more wasteful of power and
gasoline than pre-firing and spark
plug "miss."
But there's an answer there's out
high octane gasoline that gives you
all the advantages of high octane
without the power-crippling effects
of these deposits Shell Premium
Gasoline with TCP. .
TCP, the Shell-developed addi-
tive, fireproofs the deposits so. that
they no longer cause pre-firing. No
longer can they glow red hot and
ignite the gasoline mixture. And TCP
stops spark plug "miss," too. Your
spark plugs do the job they are sup
posed to do.
Start getting the full power built
into your engine. Get Shell Premium
with TCP. It's the most powerful
gasoline your car can use!
ShoU'i Trademark foe this unique gasoline addfthw
developed by Shell Research. Patent applied toe.
Only Shell Premium Gasoline
has both TCP and High Octane !
