(The Allies warned the* Reds they
might take a short cut through the
snarled prisoner exchange problem
by simply releasing 32,000 North
Koreans who don’t want to go
home. Allied negotiators said such
action would follow a pattern cre
ated by the Reds themselves.
Lt. Gen. William K. Harrison
told tbe Reds turning the prisoners
free would only be following their
policy of liberating prisoners at the
front. "Your side already has
shown us the wdy,” he said. “It

their “cut sprouts” in May, Mr.

growing season helps to produce a
high yield of No. 1 potatoes. The

Home Loan
Rales Increased
Washington, May 2.—The govern
ment today upped the interest rates
on most government guaranteed and
insured home loans to 4 Vi per cent.
For World War II and Korean War
veterans who have not yet used their
GI home loan benefits, this means
a jump of Vi per cent in the interest
rate they will have to pay.
For families who plan to finance
their home purchases with the aid
of loans insured by the Federal
Housing Administration the increase
is only Vi per cent—from the pres- 1
ent 4V4 per cent rate. FHA loans
also carry a charge of *i per cent as
a mortgage insurance premium. Thus
the total carrying charge will be 5
per cent.
The increases' do not apply to
mortgages already in effect. They
permit the lenders to change the
higher interest rates on new loans.]
The FHA increase is effective im
mediately. The VA raise-takes effect
Wednesday.
Officials said the move was needed!
to increase the supply of mortgage
money. Many lenders were reported
reluctant to. lend at the old rates.
SC Peach Crop
Expected To Be
3,120,000] Bushels
A South Carolina peach crop of
3,120,000 bushels is expected this
year, May 1 prospects indicate.
This was the view yesterday of
the Federal-State Crop Reporting
Service. r
A crop of this size would be 5
per cent smaller than the 3,286,000
bushels of 1952 and well below the
would be less than the 1941-50 10-
year average of 3,226,000 bushels.
Indicated production of 12,110,000
bushels in the 10 Southern peach
states compares with 10,663,000
bushels made last year and the 10,-
year average of 15,003,000 bushels.
Indicated produmtion in these
states as of May 1, and final 1952
volume, in thousands of bushels:
North Carolina, 1,400 and 1,849;'
Georgia 3,220 and 2,496; Florida 10
and 18; Alabama 544 and 585; Mis
sissippi 544 and 432; Arkansas 1,782
and 1,539; Louisiana 145 and 68;
Oklahoma 282 and 247; and Texas
1,053 and 346^
The move also appeared to be in
line with the new administration's
