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.

Employes of the Kennecotl Cop

Kennecotl ollicials said the
aareement would not become a
formal settlement unless Mine

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.

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. Tax Collections

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."

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."

CASABLANCA, French Morocco
1 Scattered violence by Moroc

authorities geared for possible ser.
lous trouble Saturday, the second

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.
