Draft Board Chief Quits Over Issue BIO 8PRINO, Tex. IPh-This west Texas city's draft board chairman has resigned because he does not like the life prison sentence meted out to Cpl. Claude Batchelor. Eatchcior, 22. of Kermit, Tex., was comicied by a court-martial at Ft. Sam Houston, Tex., iast week on charges of collaborating wiJi the enemy and informing on fellow POW's while a captive of me Chinese Reus in Korea. Draft Board Chairman H. W. Wright said he did net condone collaboration with the Communists but that he thought "brainwash ing" and Batchelor's youth should have ' been considered." Batchelor was one of 23 Ameri cans who chose to stay with the Reds after the Korean armistice. Later he and Cpl. Edward Dicken son of Crackers Neck, Va., changed (heir minds and returned to United Nations control. Dickenson was triea on charges similar to those against Batchelor, and given 10 years in prison at hard labor, He was a prosecu tion witness against the Texan. Wright made public yesterday a letter of resignation he sent to Paul Wakefield, state selective service director, in Austin, Tex. it said in part: "My conscience will not let me be a part of drafting young men who might later be subject to the severe punishment that was ren dered Cpl. Claude Batchelor. "Although I cannot tolerate any one who would collaborate with Communists, I am still of the opin ion that the court did not take in to consideration that this boy was only 16 years old when he entered miliary service and that you and I know that a large per cent of the older men could not stand up uncer the severe punishment and brain washing that the Commu nists are able to force upon their prisoners."

I Sen, Bridges (R-NH) has called for a return to the days of the rattle snake Flag so the Communist will be "afraid to take any action which may possibly call for strong measures on our part.1 The president pro tempore of the Senate told a civil defense session at St. Anselm College last night he is "tired of being afraid of the Russians" and "it Is about time the Russians started to be afraid of us." "I truly believe that the only hope of peace is for us to return to the principles which made this nation great; to cease appease ment; to cease compromise on fundamental principles," he said. Bridges noted that the first flag of tne republic was coiled rat tlesnake with a motto "Don't Tread on Me" and said that "in my opm- lon, that Is the attitude we better adopt in the world today." The New Hampshire .senior sen ator said his statement "is iiomg to be misinterpreted bv the phony intellectuals" but added he could not "completely subscribe to the retaliation theory."

Contractor Wins Suit WASHINGTON Ml The U. S. Court of Claims Wednesday award ed a San Francisco contractor damages as the result of delayed deliveries of reinforcing steel to the Deschutes, Ore., Irrigation pro ject. William C. Thompson, worked on the project under contract with the Bureau of Reclamation. The unanimous five-judge deci sion held the bureau had been neg ligent In failing to furnish the con tract in the -specified time In an orderly and efficient manner. Thompson, acting on behalf of himself and a subcontractor, J.D. Proctor. Inc., had sought 6,144 damages as the result of the de layed deliveries. He also had asked an additional $132,912 because of over-purchases of concrete caused by bureau estimates and delays which he said resulted from an inadequate labor supply. The court rejected the latter claim but, after upholding the gov ernment liable for the delayed steel deliveries, referred the case to the extent of such costs Thompson is entitled to recover.

Benson Talks To Teachers WASHINGTON IB .Secretary of Agriculture Benson told Amer, lca'a rural educators Wednesday "there still are plenty ot farmers with only 40 acres and a mule." He said this is one reason the Ag. riculture Department is stressing research and agricultural edu-a-tion. However, Benson said In a speech prepared for the National Confer, encs on Rural Education, "the time lag between the discovery, or the development, of research re suits and their application on the farms of the nation has been, and Is, too great." He said schools could help work out ' a better system of two-way communication between research and farmers." Benson was one of a panel ot three, representing government, labor and industry, which ar ranged to discuss rural education at closing sessions of the confer ence, sponsored by the National Education Assn. (NEA) and the U. S. Office of Education. The oth er panei members were Victor Reuther, assistant to the president of the CIO, and Walter Fuller, board chairman of the Curtis Pub lishing Co.
