THURSDAY, AUGUST IB. 1955 HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON PACK ELEVEN New US Military Code For Prisoners Signed By ike WASHINGTON W A new mill ttry code calls on every captured lighting man to withstand enemy pressure to the utmost, but to avoid at all costs disclosure of vital military Information and disloyalty to his country or his comrades. Drawing - toh experiences In the Korean War,'- it- recognizes that physical and mental torture can lorce a man to tne oreaiting point as soon as possible in. ways and means to prepare Americaus to resist pressure and toil enemy interrogators. But the clelense re port stressed the necessity lor the training In Americanism to start in the homes, the schools and the churches, saying that by (lie time a man gets uito uniform his char acter is pretty well established. The American military man. 11 proposes laeailSUC Sianaaros .rrflr, , ,h. rnrf. nri mmun. and indoctrination to keep thai panying instructions, must oppose breaking point high. President Elsenhower pro claimed thetfnew code yesterday and directed the military services to train all men to stand up to It, an enemy both before and after capture. He must try to escape and help his comrades do likewise. He must cbey discipline in prison camps, following the leadership both in combat and in captivity. , emorcd by the senior ranking lb aaja i(iai cvciy muci nan , prisoner 1,&."'rbhifv:!. wormingor doing anything to t - .r.,u.

No serv iceman may sign a confession or I assent to an oral one, wnetner true lor fabe. or sign any peace or To reluse to surrender on- his own initiative. To continue resistance to pres. aures alter capture. To keep faith with his lellow p..-oncn.. Tne code holds to the loftiest Ideals of bravery, but recognizes, as Gen. John E. Hull phrased if, that "any man can be broken if enough pressure is put on him." Hull, onetime supreme command er In the Far East, was vice chair man ol a committee of retired ofticers and civilian officials which drew up the code and an accom panying report. It officially relaxes for the first time the old requirement that a man give his captors only his name, rank and serial number. That remains the first line of defense, to which he should hold if he can. The code calls on him surrender appeals or anything on behalf of an enemy. Likewise for bidden is the making of propa ganda recording's or broadcasts. Balancing this demand for re sponsibility on the part of the mil itary man is the defense report statement, backed up by the Pres ident himself, that the "United States will never forget and never forsake him and that it will win the ultimate victory." The framers of the code drew upon the advice and personal experience of many experts, ln cluolng Americans who survived the worst that the Communists .could do to them in Korea. The committee rejected as. impractical 11 lie xuc luuc cans uu uiin ,, i , ihat to avoid answering other J l! " ' . S! "to the utmost ol my ability.' The report says he should stand "on the. final line ol resistance to 1he end no disclosure ol vital military information and above all no disloyalty in word or deed to his country, his service or his comrades." The framers of the code noted that because modern warfare may reach "the doorstep of every citizen,' il may well become a code "lor all Americans if the problem of survival shouldever come to our own main streets." The presidential order directed the military services to start "specific training" for all ranks he say absolutely nothing to his captors. The committee also rejected the I advice of some who advocated either letting prisoners tell as much as they wanted to and others who would encourage pris oners to talk a lot but say noth ing1. The report criticized the actions and failures of some Korean War prisoners who "failed to keep the faith," but said on the whole, tho.-e taken prisoner ."cannot be found wanting."

Waicott Stops Escaping Youct s CAMDcN, N.J.

Waicott Is a special Juvenile investigating officer attached to the Camden Police Department. Police said he and Patrolman Bernal Ford were standing a few ieet away when the teen-age boys fled from the store. The men gave chase and Waicott forced the youths against a wall. The boys were identified as Albert MacNeill, 15, and William Broth ers. 16. They were charged with breaking and entering and larceny. dollar-stretching values for back-to Tax Provision Misunderstood PORTLAND in No. D.'.d and , to pay a small tax on their earn- Mother, you won't lose an exemp tion If your son or daughter earns more than $600 this year. R. C. Granquust, district director Af the Internal Revenue Service of the II S. Treasury Department. said Wednesday there apparently has been a mUundrraianuing of this income tax provision. 'We have rcport3 of parents and employers telling working children they'd have to null Ihcir jobs be fore tlisv earn 600." (JranqtlUt a!d. ' They can worlc risht up In reopening ni school if they want to." . He said parents may claim work ing children under 19 years old as exemptions provided they furnish more than half the total cost of the child's support for the year, the director explained. The same ap plies tor adopted children. Also, a dependent child Is en titled to an exemption for himself on his own tax return. But if he or she is married and files a joint return.1 no dependency exemption can be claimed by the parent. Some working children may have Ingo, Granquist said, but those who are employed for a short period or receive a small salary may be eu titled to a refund.
