KOJE ISLAND, "% { June 12
— (AP)— U. S./ < hunted to
day for missing & ades of 399
frightened anti- ¢ mmunist pri
soners of war who broke away
from 4,800 marching Reds.
The breakaway came during an
otherwise orderly evacuation of
the fourth trouble-ridden POW
enclosure at this United Nations
prison camp.
: Kangaroo Courts
The anti-Red POWs said the
missing prisoners had been haled
before Communist kangaroo courts
before today’s transfer. They
didn’t report the number,
Death at the hands of their die
hard leaders was the fate of 16
POWs missing from an enclosure
emptied Wednesday.
The camp commander Brig.
Gen. Haydon L. Boatner, is ex
pected to order evacuation of a
fifth compound, No. 66, tomorrow.
Some of the 2,700 ugly-tempered
North Korean officers and 650
non- coms there are reported fash
ioning knives and spears.
Displayed Compound
Boatner met today with their
leaders, some of whom were
shown the smouldering wreckage
of Compound 76, the first to be
empited Thirty- nine prisoners
died and at least 150 were injured
there in a Tuesday battle with U.
S. paratroopers. The 39th death
was reported today. Many of the
39 were speared to death by fellow
Reds.
Compound 66 is guarded by one
company of the King’s Shirpshire
Light Infantry of Britair, and one
company of the King’s Shropshire
Regiment. However, indications
were that the U. S. 38th Regiment
would supervise the evacuation
The remains of 16 savagely kill
ed prisoners were dug up in the
third empited compound, No. 77,
But so far soldlers have found
no bodies in the fourth, No. 95.
Transfer of POWs from No. 95
brought Operation Breakup to the
30 per cent mark. Brig. Gen. Hay
don L. Boatner, Koje commander,
intends to wrest control of the
80,000 internees from their Red
leaders by moving them to new,
smaller compounds and splitting
them into groups of about 500.

Negro's Trial
By BEM PRICE
NEWNAN, Ga., —une 12 (AP)
—Clarence Henderson, a onetime
rounder and gambling man, today
awaited the end of 32 months in
jail just “praying, singing and
trusting in the Lord.”
~ Three times the illiterate Negro
sharecropper was sentenced to the
electric chair and three times the
Georgia Supreme Court held the
evidence was insufficient sos con
viction.. : !
Meantime, the case of Clarence
Henderson achieved a fame of
sort, even in the Moscow press,
as a test of Georgia justice.
Henderson was convicted for the
Oct. 31, 1948, slaying of a Georgia
Tech student, Carl Stevens, 21, as
he parked along a lover's lane near
Carrollton, Ga. A
The Negro, who figures he’s
about 40, was arrested the
following November.
It was that gambling that got
him in trouble. Henderson once
testified that he ‘“heard about a
skin game over in Villa Rica and
I’m a gambling man.”
So. he said, he journeyed to
Villa Rica and there partook of a
bit of dicing, emerging with S4O
and a pistol. He said he later
sold that pistol. He was broke.
It was the pistol that figured in
the trial as the death weapon,
Original Trial =
In Henderson’s original trial the
girl with Stevens testifed that she
and Stevens were approached by a
masked Negro and ordered from
the car. o
Twice, she related, the Negro
tried to force Stevens to attack
her but the boy refused. Stevens
was shot, she continued, protecting
her honor. She fled after the
shooting.
At the first trial she failed to
identify Henderson at all. In the
next two trials she said she be
lieved Henderson was the man,
The Federal Bureau of Investi
gation said it couldn’t match the
bullet taken from Stevens’ body
with a test bullet fired from the
gun Henderson once owned, but a
state expert said the gun fired the
fatal bullet. g S i SR
Henderson stoutly maintained
he was home asleep the night of
the murder and once cried out dur=-
ing the trial, “All these people are
telling stories on me. They're try
ing to kill old Clarence, I ain't
guilt. This black nigger didn’t have
nothing to do with it. Let me raise
my Kkids.” >
Wasn’t Worried
He said he wasn’t really worried
for the two years and eight months
| because he figured “the Lord
' would save my body with the help
of the good people.”
. One of those people was Daniel
Duke, Atlanta attorney, who ac
cepted the case long before it was
a cause celebre and Henderson
was just a pauper. Duke carried
it to the high court three times.
The last decision came down Mon
day.
Henderson said he was goingl to
give up fighting, too, since it had
landed him in jail several times
previously—and he’s tried of jail.
While no official word is avail
able, there are reports that Hen
derson will be released in At
lanta some time within the next
10 days.
The jailer, who listened to the
interview, laughed at the end.
“You know,” he said, “just two
weeks ago Clarence and another
Nefro were locked in the same
cell. They }?Ot to gambling and
the other Negro won Clarence's
clothes and his breakfast. Then
they had a fight.”

GOP’s Doubtful
Of Plan’s Merit
By JOHN CHADWICK
WASHINGTON, June 12—(AP).
A proposal to invite neutral mili
tary leaders to observe the treat
ment of Communist prisoners of
war on strife-torn Koje Island got
a mixed reaction in Congress to
day. The suggestion by Sen. Rich
ard B. Russell (D.-Ga.), was en
dorsed by President Truman,
Some Democratic senators said
it would help offset Communist
propaganda about the “mistreat
ment” of Red prisoners. But Re
publicans, if not hostile to the
idea, expressed skepticism that it
would prove effective,
Sign of Weakness?
One senator told a reporter he
feared it might be taken as an
admisgsion of weakness: ™ -
President Truman suggested in
a letter to Secretary of Defense
Lovett yesterday that military
men from five neutral nations be
asked to visit Korea to see at first
hand how Communist prisoners
are treated by United Nations
forces.
Russell, chairman of the Senate
Armed Services committee and a
candidate for the Democratic
presidential nomination, advanced
the idea in a call at the White
House two days ago.
A visit to Koje Island by high
ranking neutral military observ
ers, Russell suggested, would be a
means of refuting “the mass of
falsehoods which are being broad~
cast to the world by the Commu
nist propaganda machine.”
Truman forwarded Russell’s
memorandum to Lovett with the
comment that the proposal had a
lot of merit.
Take a Look
“It seems to me,” the President
wrote, “that it would be well to
ask Sweden, Switzerland, India,
Pakistan and Indonesia to send
military men to Korea to take a
look at the situation and see what
really is happening.”
Sen. Robert Kerr of Oklahoma,
ore of Russell's rivals for the
Democratic presidential nomina
tion, promptly called it “an ex
cellent suggestion.”
Similar comments were made
by Sen. Fulbright (D.-Ark.) and
Sen. Moody (D.-Mich.).
But Sen. Bridges (R.-N.H.) took
the view that “we don’t need rep
resentatives of other nations to go
there and tell us if we are con
ducting the prison camps prop
erly.”

South Koreans
Ban Broadcasts
PUSAN, Xorea, June 12—(AP).
The South Korean government
has banned Voiece of America
broadcasts over the 10-station gov
ernment network, accusing it of
“pbitterly anti-government” and
“abviously insulting” remarks.
The Voice has included in its
three daily broadcasts editorial
excepts from many U. S. and oin
er foreign newspapers attacking
President Syngman Rhee and
scoring recent political develop
ments here.
The U. S. State Department
broadcasting agency has been us
ing the South Korean government
net-work for two years as a cour
tesy and not on a contract, said
Dr. Clarence Ryee, director of the
government’s office of public in
formation.
“However much we may ques
tion the taste and judgment of
the persons responsible for such
broadcasts,” Ryee told newsmen,
“We do not dispute the airing of
such opinions under other aus
pices.
“But in this case the auspic2s
were the ROK Republic of Korea
government radio itself—used to
carry Dbitterly anti-government
criticism, obviously insulting.”
He said that for the government
to continue carrying foreign criti
cism on its*ewn radio would be
“like lending a man a plstol to
shoot you.” ;
A_!z" i Embassy official con
firmed that the Voice broadcasts
were suspended last night. He said
no protest was planned here; that
if any were made it would have

Slays Youthful
Girl Hosfage
CARMEL, N. Y. June 12 (AP)
—An escaped convict, making a
desperate effort to seize a getaway
car, stabbed a 9-year-old girl
hostage to death yesterday as
police closed in on him,
Hit by three police pullets, the
convict surrendered and was
taken to a hospital.
His little victim, stabbed with a
butcher knife as her mother look
ed on helpless, died an hour later.
Gave Warning
The slayer, Donald Snyder, 26,
of Canastota, gave warning of his
decferation and cried:
“If you come near me, I'll stab
the child.”
Alex Williams, 45, school bus
driver and a special policeman,
tried to persuade Snyder to release
the child, Betty Lou Arnold. As he
talked, he sidled up closer and
fired, hitting Snyder. The conviet
then plunged the knife into the
little girl’s abdomen.
Williamg fired two more shots,
and Snyder gave up the fight.
Williams drove the school bus
that brought Betty Lou home late

house and told Mrs. Snyder:

“I'm an escaped convict. The
cops are after me. I'm not fool

or I'll take your children.”
The mother screamed to the
¢hildren: Run! Run!” Two of them
ran, but Snyder seized Betty Lou.
Williams, seeing Snyder grab the
child, drove away to get his gun.
As Mrs. Arnold ran toward a
phone, Snyder kicked open the
house door, dragged Betty Lou
into the kitchen and grabbed the
butcher knife. s
He told the woman: “I want you
to_drive me to New York,” more
than 50 miles away. -
As Snvder held the knife close
to the child, her mother led them
to the cellar garage and they got
into the family car. /
Stalled Far Time

time, Williams arrived with his
gun, He and State Trooper Ray

New Egg Marketing Plant
Will Be Benefit To State
By R. H. DRIFTMIER, JR.
One of the most modern egg
marketing plants in this part of
the nation is being constructed at
the Farmers Market on the At

State Department of Agriculture
the market will be ready for op
eration about July 1.
The plant will house offices of
Georgia Eggs, Inc., an organiza
tion which has been a tremendous
asset to Georgia farmers in pro
viding 4 ready market for their
eggs. Alarge factor in selling even
top-quality eggs is the packaging
and marketing procedure. At the
new office of Georgia Eggs, Inc.,
eggs will be candled, (a testing
process by the use of lights) au
tomatically graded, sized and
packed into attractive cartons de~

The increasing number of eggs
being marketed by this organiza

The new and completely modern
building will provide fast and ef

of eggs in the various processes.
The state Commerce Dl?artment
in a recent report, said thet a

Vote Is 15-10
WASHINGTON, June 12.—(AP)
—A House commmittee voted down
15 to 10 today a proposal that
President Truman be empowered
to seize and operate the struck
steel mills.
It was the first formal vote by
any HMouse group since Truman
went before Congress Tuesday and
pleaded for this power.-
The Sensate previously had re
buffed Truman by voting that he
should use anti-strike provisions
of the Taft-Hartley law in an ef
fort to end the strike of 650,000
CIO steel workers. And today
Senators favoring seizure power
for the President abandoned their
fight to write it into wage-price
controls legislation. They said
they would propose it again later
in a separate bill.
The seizure question was raised
in the House Banking Committee
by Rep. Bolling (D.-Mo.), who
proposed it as an amendment to
legislation extending the economie

Members reported nine Demo=
crats and one Republican lugfort
ed the seizure move in the House
committee. Five Democrats and
10 Republicans were against it.
One Democrat voted present and
one Republican was absent.
The House group is working on
its own version of a new wage
price controls law to replace the
present one which expires June
30.
The Senaie battling over seizure
power has been in connection with
the Senate's own version of con
trols legislation.
Abandonment of this scrap
cleared the way for an early Sen
ate vote on the controls bill which
contains a provision saying the
‘Senate requests that Truman use
‘the Taft-Hartley Law in the pres
ent steel crisis.
In two days of battling, the Sen=- |
ate had rejected by top-heavy
margins four separate efforts to
give Truman the seizure powers
he asked.
Two more were pending today
Put were ‘disposed of in this fash
on:
First, Senator Case (R.-8.D.)
withdrew un gmendment contain
in%; limited seizure feature.
} en “Senator Maybank (D.=
S.C.), floor manager for the con
trols bill, announced he would not
call up his amendment contain
ing a comprehensive seizure plan.
Maybank asked that all of the
seizure plans discussed in connec
tion with the controls biill be sent
to the Senate Labor Committee
for consideration in connection
with a separate seizure bill.
Maybank's reference te Aufiust
or September indicated he had in
mind that steel production might
be resumed, meantime, by use of
the T-H law.
The law allows the government
to seek a court order, good for 80
days, agawnst a strike which im
perils the national welfare.
Four Rejections
Four times in two days the Sen
ate has recjected by top-heavy
margins proposals to give Truman
the seizure powers he asked, vot
ing instead to request him to in
voke the Taft-Hartley Act’s anti
strike injunection ci)x'ovisiomr..
Senate leaders drove to dispose
of the whole issue, and get a final
vote by nightfall on a bill to con
tinue the anti-inflation Defense
Production Act, with which it has
become sc tightly intertwined.
This will shift the spotlight to
the House, where banking com
mittee is drafting its own version

in from other states and only six
per cent were produced in Geor
gia. As long as this situation ex
ists, quality eggs . from Georgia
producers should have a ready
market.
Many Advantages
A large production of quality
eggs by Georgia farmers will be
advantageous to the whaole state,
The farmer will benefit from the
increased, year-round income; the
consumer will benefit by being
able to buy a fresh, quality prod
uct,
Georgia Eggs, Inc., the Athens
agency which has done a great
deal to help Georgia farmers cap
ture this waiting market, is head
ed by poultry marketing specialist,
John F. Maulding. His organiza
tion draws itg producers from: an
area which includes the counties
of Habersham, Stephens, Hall,
Banks, Franklin, Hart, Jackson,
Madison, Elbert, Barrow, Clarke,
Oglethorpe, Wilkes, Lincoln, Wal
ton, Oconee, Morgan, Greene and
Taliaferro.
By June 1, of this year, after
approximately three years of opé
eration, Georgia Eggs had ’Fd
farmers of the area $364,000. They
are now paying an average es
$16,000 per month.
With the large potential market
for 0235 in the state, and the in
creased emphasis being placed on
quality egg-production, the time
may be close at hand when Geor
?11 city-dwellers can buy fresh,
op-quality Georgia eggs at every
corner grocery, and Georgia
farmers can take home the large
sums which are now sent to lowa
and other Western egg-producing
states.

University Plans
Refailing Major
A full-scale course in retailing,
the first program of its leind in the
South, has been added to the eur
riculum of the College of Business
Administratton at the University
of Georgia. 5 - :
The program will be inaugurat
ed in the fall under the leader
ship of Robert D. Entenl;&ll—
gistant professor of econ It
will cover all phases of the re
tailing field frem buying and
niqerchandising to faghion prom.o
tion.
Constant Demand
According to Dean James E.
Gates of the College of Business
Administration, the refailing
courses were added to the busi
ness curriculum to meet the eon
stant demand for trained gradu
wtes in this field. Retailing now
employs approximately one cut of
every six persons in this eountry,
he said,
Dean Gates added that the Uni
versity’s new program will now
make it wunnecessary faor high
school graduates to go morth to
receive professional traiming in
the retailing field.
Until now a major in retailing
has been offered in only three or
four of the northern and eastern
schools and in no school in the
South. ]
To keep the new program alert
to the dynamic changes in the ie
tailing field, the University has
organized a retailing council made
up of outstanding retail store ex
ecutives over the state. These ex
ecutives will serve as an advisory
committee and suggest changes
that may be required in the pro
gram,
Practical Training
Besides classroom studies the
new retailing major will include
an “in training” program of about
ten weeks during which the stu
dent may supplement his académic
study with practical on-the-job
experience.
Prof. Entenberg, head of the new
reuiling program, has had many
years of experience in various ca
pacities in the retail field im all
sized stores throughout the Eagt
and Middle-West. He iz a grad
uate of WasWfin University.in
St. Louis, Mo. where he also conmj~
pleted his graduate studies in be
marketing and retailing.
