Americans Disappointed by Red's
List of 3,198 Prisoners-of-War
LAUGHTER AND TEARS—rears and laughter echoed in the home
towns of America. The Communists handed over their list of American
prisoners, containing 3,198 names.
For mothers and fathers, sweethearts and wives, of these 3,198
there was laughter and one of the happiest holiday seasons on record.
But for other thousands there were tears and despair.
The nation as a whole, however, was shocked and disappointed
by the list. What had happened to the remaining 11,559 American sol
diers known missing in Korea?
A civilian employee of the De
fense departments public informa
tion office bands reporters the first
list of names of 3,198 American
prisoners-of-uar as reported by the
Communists.
There was no answer to this
question. But all too well the peo
ple of America remember the
stories of atrocities made public
recently in Korea.
And even as thousands were
rejoicing at word that their fight
ing men are still alive, the De
partment of Defense and President
Truman warned that the Commu
nist prisoner-of-war reports are
completely unverified. The enemy
has refused to permit Red Cross
inspection of its camps.
White House Secretary Joseph
Short told newsmen: “The Presi
dent has asked me to urge every
news medium to stress as often
as possible that the prisoner-of-
war list is entirely unverified.
“He appreciates the efforts al
ready made along this line but be
lieves it important to continue
them—to do even more than al*
QUESTIONED . . . Charles Oli-
phant, ex-counsel of revenue bu
reau, admits he gave Henry Grune-
wald data on Teitelbaum tax case,
but denies he was member of al
leged clique of officials who tried
to shake Teitelbaum for $500,000
in crooked money.
ready has been done.
"This country has no way of verifying whether the list is accurate
or inaccurate, true or false, complete or incomplete.
"Fur the sake of the families whose sons are missing in action,
everyone should treat this list with skepticism.”
But for the mothers of America there was one reaction: “Thank
God for such wonderful news. It answers tens of thousands of prayers.*
Shortly after the names of Americans on the Communist list was made
public, the UN handed the Reds a stiffly-worded note demanding that
the enemy account for more than 1,000 prisoners not named. The UN
contends these prisoners had been named in earlier Communist propa
ganda broadcasts, but were not on the prisoner-of-war list. What has
become of them, the UN wants to know?
EUROPE'S UNITY— There has been a growing feeling in the rural
sections of America that the countries of western Europe are making
little progress toward unity in spirit or force. Secretary of State Acheson,
however, believes otherwise.
Acheson said recently that Europeans have made more progress in
the last four years toward bringing about this unity than they did in the
previous five centuries. As - examples, he pointed out the six-nation
Europe-army program and the Schuman plan for pooling coal and steel
resources.
One of the main blocks in the formation of the Europe-army is the
British unwillingness to contribute troops to such an organizaion. Before
the plan can succeed as planned by General Eisenhower, the British
will have to change their policy which dates from the time of Queen
Elizabeth.
COST-OF-LIVING— As 1951 came to a close, the Bureau of Labor
Statistics released figures on the cost-of-living for the American family.
The bureau’s index hit a new peak of 10.8 per cent above the level of
June, 1950, when the Korean war broke out.
The bureau said the rising costs of miscellaneous goods and services,
and higher prices for fresh fruits and vegetables, were largely responsible
fat the increase. ' u *>
NEW BLACKMAIL— Hungary, with a record of holding American
citizens to gain concessions from the United States, has embarked again
upon the blackmail trail. This time she is holding four U. S. airmen
whose plane was forced down by Soviet fighter planes after it strayed
across the Hungarian border.
The Soviet puppet says she will bring to trial the four airmen who
violated the Hungarian border “with the criminal intentions of dropping
spies and diversionists in the territory of the Hungarian Republic.”
Last year Hungary jailed American businessman Robert A. Vogeler
on charges of espionage and later released him after the U. S. agreed
to a number of concessions.
It is now but a matter of time before the Hungarians ask for more
concessions. And if the blackmail works as before, the airmen will be
released after much propaganda and the concessions granted. ,
THE BIG TRAGEDY—Among other things, the year 1951 will be
remembered for the big tragedy—the millionth traffic fatality.
The nation’s tragic parade of motor vehicle accident deaths began
September 13, 1899. H. H. Bliss, victim No. 1, was killed by a horseless
carriage in New York City.
Heavy snow and ice-crusted highways and the fact that thousands
of Americans made holiday trips, contributed to the traffic death rate
late in the year. j
U.S. BALKS—For the first time in the history of the United Nations,
the United States balked at the levy it must pay to help maintain that
organization. The U. S. cited its huge expenditures in the Korean war
and the billions spent to uphold the charter principles which the United
Nations was not in a position to implement.
The assembly, however, approved a 1952 budget of $48,096,780, of
which the U. S. will pay 36.9 per cent. Although less than last year’s
levy, the U. S. objected that no state should pay more than one third of
the budget. _ . * •
The British are to pay 10.56 per cent of the fiscal year 1952 and the
Soviet Union, the Ukraine, and White Russia 11.49 per cent.
FREED . . . Vance Erin Hardy
was freed in Detroit court after
spending 27 years for crime he did
not commit—murder. He was freed
through the efforts of his sister,
Gladys Barrett, Detroit, after in
vestigation by a national magazine
of his case.
BLIND GI HOME . . . P.F.C.
Charles Hunziger, New York, al
most totally blinded by a grenade
explosion In battle of Heartbreak
Ridge, was flown home by the mili
tary air transport service. He
spent the recent holiday with his
mother.

Meeting for the first time since World War II, two old friends, Gen.
Dwight D. Eisenhower (left) and Prime Minister Winston Churchill (right)
met in Paris recently for d series of conferences on the European army
plan. Eisenhower was understood to have made a fervent appeal to
Churchill to give more encouragement to the plan. There were also
reports circulated after Churchill returned to England that Eisenhower
expressed his willingness to "stay on the job" for a longer period if
Britain would give greater support to the plan.
MEAT FORECAST
Smaller Spring Pig Crop in Prospect
Hopes for a larger supply of
meats in butcher shops next yepr
[ lower prices received a jolt
the government’s forecast of
a 9 per cent reduction in next
’s pig crop. It may mean
higher meat prices, the
snt of Agriculture believed,
lent survey indicated
pig crop would number
, compared with .61,-
957,000 last spring, and 55,407,000
for the 10-year (1940-49) average.
Responsibility of the reduction in
production rests largely with a
dwindling supply of corn and other
livestock feeds. For the past two
years the nation has been using
grains at a faster rate than it has
produced them. The deficit has
been taken from reserves accumu
lated in 1T48 and 1949. -

Its driver died, rests atop a railroad trestle in Pittsburgh near the train
with which it collided. The freight train struck at the crossing, and the

shop, was delivering clothing to his customers when his truck was hit
by the train and shoved on the trestle.

WATER TANK FALLS UPON TOWN ... An entire city block in the town
of Tucumcari, New Mexico, was devastated recently when a huge water
tank suddenly collapsed and crushed and flooded the whole area. Four
persons in the vicinity of the tank ware killed. No explanation for the
sudden fall of the large tank, which co«t one million dollars, was given,
but authorities were investigating to determine if there was deliberate
destruction of the tank by persons unknown.
The Clean-Up
W HITE HOUSE advisers report
that while the President was at
Key West he did not seem too anx
ious to move boldly toward a cor
ruption clean-up. When he got back
to Washington, however, he got
much more in a mood to house-
clean.
Some of the young men around
him felt pretty strongly about the
housecleaning and did their best to
influence the President. So did Sen.
Clinton Anderson of New Mexico, a
former cabinet member, while new
Democratic Chairman Frank Mc
Kinney also threw his weight behind
a purge.
It was Senator Anderson who first
phoned the President at Key West
more than three weeks ago urging
drastic action.
At first. Chief Justice Fred Vin
son, though anxious for a clean-up,
seemed- to think things could be
patched up without firing Howard
McGrath as attorney general. Sen
ator Anderson, however, disagreed.
He told the chief justice that the
President would lean on him heavSy
for advice and that he should rec
ommend drastic measures.
Without a drastic purge, the
senator from New Mexico
argued, the administration
would lose all control ever con
gress. Vinson seemed to agree.
Broken Mink Market
-'*■ A ' / ••
The other day a high official of
the munitions board wanted to buy a
small fur piece as a 25th wedding
anniversary present for his wife.
Momentarily forgetting the cur
rent congressional investigations, ha
entered Washington’s swank Erie-
bacher’s and asked to see some fur
neckpieces.
"Here is a nice Russian sablp
at $600 per skin,” said the clerk.
"That’s too. high for me. What
else do you have?” said the officiaL
Then the clerk produced a stone
marten fur piece at $335 a skin.
The official again shook his head,
claiming it was too steep a price,
and added:
"Well, don’t you make these fur
pieces in mink?”
The startled clerk practically had
a stroke. Recovering his breath, he
finally stammered:
“Mink! Who would buy mink in
Washington? The market has been
broken—broken in little pieces.
There have been no mink sales in
Washington for two months.” '•
Abandoning Ship
More and more - top government
officials are deserting the Truman
administration. Latest to plan their
exit are Stuart Symington, Recon
struction Finance administrator,
and 1 Manly Fleischmann, head of
Defense Mobilization. ' i
Both are among Truman's top
trouble-shooters, but both are
afraid of getting smeared by
close association with an admin
istration that gets bogged down
deeper daily. ^
In addition, Symington, when )
started cleaning up the RFC and
firing certain “friends” got a deluge
of unpleasant ribbing from certain
White House ^guardsmen.”
“Who do you think you are—little
Lord Fauntleroy?” asked one White
House secretary who had a finger in
the RFC. *
Coddling American Women
A group of congressmen investi
gating U.S. supply bases in Europe
recently got a lecture on how wa
coddle our womenfolk.
The congressmen were quizzing a
London businessman about delays
in British arms production for the
North Atlantic Pact program.
"We in the United States are go
ing all-out to defend the free world
against communism,” said GOP
Congressman Charles Brownson of
Indiana. "But there seems to be a
lag on this side of the Atlantic.
Maybe if you fallows tried incentive
pay for defense workers you’d get
better production.”
"It wouldn't work over here,”
disagreed the Londoner. "You
Americans believe in extra
drive and overtime, but a lot of
your incentive on the job is to
get more money to buy beauty
treatments for your wives or
labor-saving gadgets to lighten
their toil. Over here, we work a
little less and work our wives a
little harder.”
Congressman Brownson suggested
that the Britisher would get a dif
ferent view of the working habits rf
American mothers if he visited an
average household, particularly
around spring cleaning time.
Merry-Go-Round
Mink coats and 12-pound hams
should be scarce around Mike Di
Salle’s stabilization offices at Christ
mas time—if his staff follows the
dictum that they are to accept no
Christmas presents which they can’t
eat or drink inside 24 hours .
John Sherman Cooper, ex-sen
ator from Kentucky, now a delegate
to the United Nations, will run for
the senate again—this time against
Sen. Tom Underwood, Democrat.
SHOPPER'S
CORNER
By DOROTHY BARCLAY
QUARTET IN F
Q UARTET in F — for Fruit — is
the sweet music in the home
maker’s ears these days. Prunes
and raisins in the dry line, and
oranges and tangerines in the fresh.
Take your choice, for they’re all
plentiful at your market, and there
fore easy on the budget.
Know what the Department of
Agriculture authorities estimate?
That there will be
26* per cent more
prunes and—wait a
minute—67 per cent
more raisins than
last year.
What little Jack
Horner in his corn
er pulled out of his
Christmas pie and called a plum, is
the prune we know today. It’s the
type of plum that’s firm and sweet,
and solid enough to dry whole.
Today's Horner plums—or prunes,
are better, plumper and tenderer
than the tradiional nursery rhyme
one, and because of modern pack
aging, cleaner and easier to han
dle. No more of that long soaking
and all-day stewing for these mod
em prunes. Some of them, in fact
are especially treated with moist
heat,' and need little or no cooking,
they’re so moist and tender. -
The packaged primes can be used
in multiple ways, to suit the taste of
every member of the family. If
they’re too dry for your favorite
treatment, just cover them with
water and let them stand until soft
enough to cut and drain. Such
prunes can be pitted and stuffed for
salad or a confection. A simple way
to have a constant supply of prunes
to draw on, is to put rome in a fruit
jar, cover with water, screw on the
top, and keep ip the refrigerator for
k few days.
jtfHIP IT UPr
For whipping up, longer cooking
is necessary than for the whole
fruit, because the pulp will have
to separate from pit and skins to
go through the sieve.
For fast cooking, use your pres
sure cooker. The softer prunes will
be cooked by the time you have 15
pounds pressure. The harder ones
may need about 10 minutes, at 15
pounds. Remove the cooker from
the heat, and let the pressure drop
to zero to cool the fruit gradually.
If you like 'em sweeter, add sugar,
or still better, honey, which is
plentiful right now. If you want
variety, try a slice or two of lemon
or orange, or a spicy cinnamon or
clove.
As for raisins, they're practically
a drug on the market, and are sell
ing 50 to 100 per cent more widely
than a year ago. So there are plenty
for your coffee cake, or fruit cake,
or muffins or cookies—or for just
eating in the raw.
TANGERINE AROMA
That Christmas stocking aroma of
tangerine lingers on for months as
an echo of the holidays. And you
can preserve it with the large sup
ply of tangerines still on the mar
ket, as long as it lasts. For an aft
er-school snack for-the children, as
a fruit-cup, as marmalade, as a
cocktail, there’s a tang in that tan
gerine flavor which is like nothing
else in the way of fruit. Make your
own juice or marmalade, or buy the
juice in cans at your stpre—and
you’ve really got something.
Ohio Town Celebrates
Premier in Big Way
BELLAIRE, O.-The town of
Bellaire was the scene of a movie
premiere recently that turned the
community upside down.

than 40 Hollywood performers and
officials, including Bob Hope,
Gloria Grahame, Jan Sterling,
