In The- IO. V Day's lews 0 ui 3iD Z3 UU ui By I BANK JENKINS A new code of conduct for Amer ican servicemen who become pris oners of war is expected to be come elective today when Presi dent Elsenhower signs an execu tive order putting the new pro gram into effect. The new code grows out of the cases of Americans charged with collaborating with the enemy In Korean prison camps. lis details have not been made public but It is known to represent a compro mise between the stern attitude of the army and a somewhat more lenient viewpoint taken by the air force as to men subjected to enemy pressure. The old code had its origins in the age of chivalry when war as regarded as GENTLEMEN'S business. The Hague Convention ol 1907 and the Geneva Conven tion of 1929 formalized into inter national law agreements, for hu mane treatment of prisoners of War. The nations signing these con ventions agreed, for example, that prisoners could be put to work if they were WILLING, but must be paid for their labor. Prisoners could send and receive mail subject, of course, to reasonable censorship. Torture of prisoners for any reason, but specifically torture to force them to reveal military in formation was rigidly forbidden by international agreement. And so on. That day is past. We're now back to barbarism thanks largely to communism. The communist countries wage war as savages wage war. They use ANY method including torture of prisoners, both physically and mentally to gain their ends. We need a new code of conduct for the members of our armed lorces. It is no longer fair or de cent to send them into battle i which includes the risk of cap ture as well as the,risk of death) tinder a code that subjects them to TRIAL FOR TREASON if under Inhuman tortures, mental as well as physical, they reveal military information The latest prison ruckus is at Lincoln Nebraska, where the Ne braska state penitentiary is locat ed. To quell a 12-hour convict re bellion national guardsmen had to be called in with orders to shoot to kill, if necessary. The guardsmen were called in after about 225 rebels had set fire to six prison shops and smashed equipment and furniture in their cell block. Fortunately, the show of force ended the uprising and it was not necessary to do any shoot ing. Facing the rifles of the sol diers, the prisoners returned to their cells. What shall we do about these prison rebellions which are be coming almost ROUTINE in the news? CONSTRUCTIVE work is all I can think of as a remedy. Keep our convicts "busy. arTHEA'ITVE work. Pav thein wages. Put their wages away, to be PAID TO THEM if and when they have paid their debt to society and have been released. ' Someway Let's give them HOPE. When hope is taken away from a man, there isn't much left to build on. Our modern prisons too nearly approximate the picture of hell, as given to us by Dante Alighieri In his Divine Comedy. Over the gates of hell, as he pictures it in his visionary Journey through "Hell, Purgatory and Paradise" was this legend: "All hope abandon, ye who en ter here." Our prisons are too much like that. Copper Union Resumes Work Bv THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Employes of the Kennecotl Cop per Corp. started back to work today in four states, ending a cost ly 47-day-old strike. A Joint union council last night Instructed the men to return alter agreement was reached with the International Union of Mine, Mill and Smelter workers at Ray. Ariz; Kennecott spokesmen said full scale production would resume as soon as maintenance work ne glected during Ins strike had been polished olf. They said all the 11.000 employes in Utah. Nevada. New Mexico and Arizona are ex pected back by the end of the week. Utah workers agreed on settle ment terms, including a .154 rent-i-n-hour wage and pension pack nee, last Friday. New Mexico and Nevada workers later accepted the tame offer. Agreement in Arizona was blocked bv a bargaining dispute between the independent Mine-Mil! union and the CIO United Steel workers. Tie steelworkers have asked the National Labor Rela tionr Board lor a collective bar saininr election. The board's deci sion has r.ol been announced. Kennecotl ollicials said the aareement would not become a formal settlement unless Mine Mill was certified as the bargain ing unit lor Ray workers. A. C. Skinner, secretary of the loin; union council, said the Ray Mine-Mill local raulied the agree ment late lavt nieh! by a "sub stantial margin." Terms were the same as in the other three states, skinner said.

Hurri cane Diane, after menacing the South Atlantic Coast eight days, hit Into North Carolina early Wednesday, but did relatively little direct damage. Northeast of her path, though, winds whipped high tides into business houses at Eliza beth City, Washington, N.C, and other points. Sixty-mile gusts along the mile wide Pasquotank River at Eliza beth City sent water to one-foot depths in rivtr-fronl establish ments. Tiie Weather Bureau warned that the Pasquotank would continue to rise until about 1 p.m. iPSTi, probably sending water to a three foot depth In riverside stores. High ways to the south and west .were Hoover Blasts Demo 'Smears' WASHINGTON W Herbert Hoover says President Eisenhower already is acting to put into effect the administrative changes recom mended by the commission he headed. The former President accused Democrats of "an infamous smear" in charging that his com mission on governmental reorgan ization was partisan, that its task forces were "stacked," and that the administration is trying to de tach itself from the commission's recommendations. The Democratic statements ap peared Monday in the monthly Democratic Digest, published by the Democratic National Commit tee. Hoover, replying in a statement released here Tuesday, aaid they were made by "someone ignorant of the whole workings of the com mission." Both Republican and Democratic members of the com mission, he said, certified that "my work was fairly and patiently conducted." To the statement that the task forces, especially ihat on public power, had been stacked to "turn back the clock" of government pol icy. Hoover replied: "Public power pressure groups were not represented upon the water resources task forca for the simple reason that I also refused to appoint representatives of the public utilities. We were conduct ing art objective inquiry and not a donnybrook fair. "As to the attitude of President Elsenhower," he added, "he has directed the executive departments to set up machinery for the imple menting of the commission's ad ministrative recommendations." Ike's Grandson Fishes, Rides PRASE R, Colo. (UP) President Eisenhower's seven-year old strand son, David, had a full morning: of fly casting and horseback riding today on his first day of sharing: the chief executive's mountain fishing sojourn. The boy, who Joined Mr. Eisen hower here last night, tried his hand at casting in a new, heavily stocked trout pond close by the new three-bedroom guest house built on the ranch of Alcsel Nielsen, Mr. Eisenhower's host for the five-day visit, But David seemed much more interested lit getting aboard a white horse and walking the animal around the yard of the house. He appeared much more at home on horseback than fishing. Reporters watching from a road side almost a half mile away dis tinguished the President walking around the yard. But they did not spot him at the trout pond. David was getting flycasting instruction from other fishermen. Pope Appoints New Bishop WASHINGTON The Rev.

National Guard trucks were ordered into the area to help evacuate household ere. Diane pushed into central North Carolina with ever-falling force. Her route was north north west toward Raleigh and the Virginia line. Her forward speed was about 12 miles an hour. Be fore noon her winds had fallen beneath hurricane force and her eye was becoming disorganized. The office of North Carolina Gov. Luther Hodges said scattered and "very preliminary" reports in dicated damage along the beaches was 'almost miraculously light." This fourth hurricane of the sea son made her central landfall at this southeastern North Caro lina river port. Her force was blunted as she moved on a north westward course over land toward Northwestern Virginia. WINDS FALL Even before Diane came to the mainland her one-time 115-mile-an hour core winds had fallen to gusts of 100. Maximum winds clocked here were 74 ui.p.ii. Diane invaded the land only five days after Hurricane Connie nad sideswiped Northeastern South Ca rolina, invaded this area and blown out ir. Pennsylvania. Conine took 43 lives and wrought damage esti mated in the millions. The Weather Bureau said the storm w-ould move into Northwest ern Virginia early Thursday with winds abated to 20 to 30 miles an hour.

Mm tin Cent It "u New Trouble Breaks Out In Argentina BUENOS AIRES. Argentina iPv New disorders bioss out Wednes day in front of the Roman Catholic Metropolitan Cathedral on Pla.u de Mayo in central Buenos Aires, Police used fire hoses to break up a demonstration. Several per sons we're reported arrested. Witnesses said the disorders erupted as Catholics emerging from mass in the cathedral began shouting anti-govci nineni slogans and were met by antagonistic groups. The outbreak came less than 24 hours alter u shaky iwo-inunih truce between the Catholic church and Argentina's dominant Peron ista party apparent Iv ended. The Catholic church is the stale church in this country. OPPOSITION GROl'P Meanwhile the Radical party, chief opposition group to Presi dent Peron's regime, introduced in Congress demanding that the government "remove any barrier" to the return ot two Catholic pre lates expelled to Rome by the gov ernment June 15. The prelates. Bishop Manuel Tato, auxiliary bishop of Buenos Aires, and his assistant. Msgr. Ra mon Novoa, were stripped of their government-paid duties on charges ot inciting disorders. This was fol lowed by the Vacllcan's cxcom municatlon of Pcron and other: who had any part in the expul sion. The day afler the prelates leit an unsuccessiul revolt agauist Peron broke out. CAMPAIGN The Peronistas' Supreme Council Indicated Tuesday night its open ami-church campaign would be revived. The council Is sued a statement condemning "those who use religious dogma and their church as instruments of low political ends." The council added the tinie had come for it to resume all-out political activity. Such a move had been expected after the government announced Monday. that it had uncovered a plot to assassinate President Juan D. Peron and other government leaders, jne government blamed "catholic nationalists" and opposi tion political leaders. The council statement said: "Do people believe the Peronista party can sympathize with the criminal transgressions of those who , . . aspire to grab power to serve their own designs for subju gation and reaction? Evidently no. And for this we will resume and rerew the brilliant political role of 1946 (when Peron became presi dent.)" DISPUTE Peron last November brought a church-state dispute into the open with a charge that some church leaders were working to undermine his regime. The church denied the accusation. Since the June 16 revolt (he gov ernment has soft-pedaled criticism of the church, and sponsored a move in Congress to postpone for six months the constitutional con vention authorised to remove Catholicism's favored status as the state church. Public demonstrations and dis turbances which began Monday continued yesterday. Police fired tear gas to break up a crowd of 500 students shouting insults at the government in the city of E Peron, 0 miles south of Buenos Aires. They arrested 41 demon strators.

Telephone till Penitentiary Rebels Give In To Troops LINCOLN. Neb. HI A 13-hour prison rebellion at the Nebraska State Penitentiary collapsed Wednesday when armed troopers and National Guardsmen marched Into the cell block with orders to shoot to kill If necessary. One shot was tired accidentally. No one was hit. . , Gov. Victor Anderaon said about 35 prisoners who had aet (ire to six priaon shops and spent the night smashing furniture and equipment in their cell block offered "no dif ficulty at all" after Warden Jo seph Bovey told them to be back in their cells within two minutes or the troopers would shoot. When the troopers and guards men marched in to the cell block they found all prisoners within tneir cells. INMATE INJURED Shortly afterward Jack Stover. M, an inmate, waa carried out on a stretcher. Bovey aaid he had been attacked in his cell and oth er inmates apparently had tried to kill him, then aet fire to the mattress and bedding in the cell. The governor aaid Stover waa in such condition when officers found him that he was first thought dead. Four or five of the oriaoners in. volved in the rioting were among the eight prisoners who seized two guards last March and holed up in the security building for 3 :, uays oeiore tney were starved out. A. c. Elchberg, administrative assistant to Gov. Anderson,' de scribed the start of the trouble. "Right after dinner about 500 prisoners refused to return to their cells. Some 340 others went peace fully, but those who refused to go scattered into the prison yard and into the shops." FIRE STARTED . , The shop building runs parallel to two cellblocks and Is connected in various ways. Those who scat tered Into the shop building, Xich berg said, started a, fire in the furniture shop. . . . . , Then they fled to loin the hotl.r. tag crowd in the orison varri.

Others tried to hid but were flushed out and herded into the cellblock. . ,. CONVICTS ANGERED Gov, Anderson said he unrt.r. stood the rlotirur Drlsonera hi been angered over the confinement of two inmates in aegregatlon "be cause they wouldn't work." companies of Lincoln firemen waited outside the walls.

Burned were the furniture, can- ning, tin, novelty, tool and machine shops. After the selge last March. Warden H. H. Halm resigned and the State Board of Control, which governs the prison, emploved Cot. E. B. Albert, a former Armv prison director, as director of the prison, and Joseph Bovey, capl- ioi cusioaian unoer uov. Ander son, was named warden. Air Foresters Control Fire YREKA Four smoke Jumpers were flown tn from Cave Junction last week and are credited with confining a forest lire on Cotton wood Mountain, IS miles from Yreka, to less than an acre, ac cording to Lee Morlord, Klamath National Forest fire dispatcher. Another lire was controlled last week southwest of Little Deer Mountain in tho Oooscnest ranger district. Morlord said that the fires were apparently "sleepers" from the thunderstorm of August 7. "Quite frequently," he said, "Ihe rain accompanying a thunder storm will provide a wet surface blanket, but a fire will spread on dry .leaves or needles underneath the wet covering. Occasionally, such a fire will cover a large area before breaking into the open." Violence Flares In Casablanca' CASABLANCA, French Morocco 1 Scattered violence by Moroc can Nationalists continued in Casablanca Wednesday. French authorities geared for possible ser. lous trouble Saturday, the second anniversary of the French exile of Nationalist sultan Mohammed Ben Youssef. Ben Youssef was whisked out of Rabat two years ago and re placed on the throne by an aged pro-French relative, Mohammed Ben Moulay Agile. In recent months the Nationalists ' have stepped up their demands for Ben Youssef s return. The French are attempting to compromise by ordering Ben Mou lay Agafa to form a broadly based government, Including the Nation alists. The chief Nationalist par ties have already rejected any re tention of the present sultan.
