According to the Laurens Trac tor and Implement Co. the Model “70” replaces Model “G” in the John Deere tractor line. The big gest new feature of the “70” is its more than fifty horsepower which Harold H. Hill, manager, states, “is ample for haidling a four-bottom plow in most conditions, five bot toms in many soils, fouj-row bed- ders, 14-foot double-action disk harrows, 20-foot disk tillers and Mr. Hill added that the “70” is built to handle the new big-capacity John Deere No. 227 Corn Picker. Feature-wise, the new “70” close ly parallels the John Deere “50" and “60” tractors introduced a year ago. The new tractor .has Duplex Carburetion . . . hot-or-cold mani fold . . .

Red Cross Plans To Bring War Prisoners Home At Early Date Plans for American Red Cross ser vices to prisoners of war to be liber ated 'as a result of the Korean arm istice were announced yesterday by President E. Roland Harriman. In making the announcement Mr. Har riman said that the full resources of the organization's staff in the Far East and of chapters in this country w’ould be made available to bring essential aids and comforts to freed American servicemen. In accordance with the truce terms, a team of 70 representatives from Red Cross societies in nine United Nations countries, headed by an ARC staff member, will work with the military ahd with a coun terpart Red Cross team from North Korea and Communist China in re patriating war prisoners from both sides. Eighteen ARC members, in cluding L. W. Neatherlin, of Dallas, Texas, team coordinator, are among U. N. Red Cross workers. Neather lin, incidentally, is a former field director at Barksdale Air Force base, Shreveport, La. He was recently awarded the “medal of freedom” by President Eisenhower for “excep tionally meritorious service” as a Red Cross staff member. Tw’o other Southerners are ARC members of the U. N. team. They are James A. Person of Bunkie, La., a former assistant field director at Camp Polk, La., and Allen G. Scar brough of Green Cove Springs, Fla., a former field director at the Jack sonville (Fla.) Naval air station. At the time of Mr. Harriman’s an nouncement, ARC Executive Vice- President James T. Nicholson was en route to the Far East to work with H. L. Jane way, ARC director in the Far East, in directing Red Cross services to American repatri ates. He will also consult with the military regarding Red Cross oper ations during the post-hostility pe riod. Red Cross representatives visiting Communist prison camps will take a variety of items for the comfort of American and other U. N. prisoners. These items will include the famous Red Cross ditty bags, which contain toilet articles, writing materials, cig arettes, anc* reading jnatter.
