Anti-Communist POW
Risk Lives In Break
KOJE ISLAND, Korea, June 12 (UP)—More than 400
anti-Communist war prisoners risked their lives Thursday
in a break for freedom from the fanatic Red commissars

Ex-Commissioner
Of Agriculture
). E. McDonald Dies
SAN BENITO, June 12 IIP)—J. E.
McDonald. 71-year-old former Tex-
as commissioner of agriculture,
died in a hospital here Thursday.
McDonald, a stormy figure in
Texas politics who became commis-
sioner of agriculture in 1930 and
served until he was defeated by
John C. White in 1950, died in
Dolly-Vinsant hospital about 9:30
a. m.
He was hospitalized Wednesday
morning. McDonald bad been in-
volved in an automobile accident
several weeks ago.
McDonald took his first public
office as a member of the House
of Representatives in 1929. Most of
his life was devoted to agriculture.
He was born June 4, 1881, in
Mexla. He was educated in the
town's public school, and in 1911
moved to Ellis county, where he
began farming in one of the state's
leading cotton counties. He also
maintained a farm at his birth-
place.
A committee chairman in the
House of Representatives tried in
1935 to seize records of McDonald’s
office for the committee. McDon-
ald defied the attempt and placed
Texas Rangers in the office to see
the records remained.
The squabble did not harm his
position with the voters, and the
next summer he was renominated
for commissioner of agriculture in
the Democratic primary. He was
re-elected until his defeat in 1950.
McDonald, who once beat down
an attempt by the Texas House of
Representatives to impeach him,
was nominated by the Republican
as well as the Democratic party
many times for the agriculture
commissioner’s post.
His squabbles also led to the na-
tional level, when he was once ac-
cused of lobbying illegally for high-
er farm prices.

ed as they broke from marching
ranks. They ran toward American
guards who were shifting 4,875 of
them to 500-men compounds.
They were being moved from
Compound 95 to temporary quar-
ters in Compound 91. The move
was made without violence al-
though there were scuffles be-
tween prisoners trying to break
away and hard-core Reds trying to
hold them.
Have Control Now
“We have uncontested control
. . . without a doubt,” Col. Har-
old L. Taylor, deputy camp com-
mander, said.
Taylor announced that 19,000
prisoners have been transferred to
new compounds. At least 1,000 have
been weeded out as anti-Commu-
nists or for other reasons and are
being held separately for further
interrogation, he said.
Brig. Gen. Haydon L. Boatnei,
camp commander, said meanwhile
that he fully approved of a pro-
postal that observers from five
neutral nations inspect Koje’s com-
pounds. The suggestion, made by
Sen. Richard B. Russell D-Ga.
was endorsed by President Tru-
man. It calls for letting Sweden,
Switzerland, India, Pakistan and
Indonesia send military observers
to check Allied treatment of the
prisoners.
Try Another Friday
Friday the 13th, heavily-armed
Amerian troops will go into Com-
pound 66 which holds more than
3,000 defiant North Korean officers.
Their leaders were shown through
the shambles of Compound 76,
where 39 Reds died when they
fought removal.
Use Of T-H Act
In Steel Strike
Almost Required
WASHINGTON, June 12 (UP)—President Truman got
another congressional turn-down Thursday on his request
for seizure powers to get steel production going again.
The latest rebuff made it appear that Mr. Truman may
be forced, against his will, to invoke the Taft-Hartlev Act
against 059,000 striking members of the CIO United Steel-;
workers.
The Senate earlier this week had four times rejected
proposals to give the President authority to seize vital in-
dustries to keep them from being closed by strikes.

Hacks At
Red Line
SEOUL. Korea, June 12 (IB —
Bayonet-wielding Allied riflemen,
supported by tanks on the ground
and fighter-bombers in the air,
hacked two wedges into Commu-
nist lines and still held their new-
ly-won ground Thursday night.
Tank gunners blasted Red lines
in the same area west of Yonchon
where two heavily reinforced Com-
munist companies attempted to
overrun Allied outposts.
The Red attacks were thrown
back with heavy enemy losses. One
attack alone cost the Communists
123 dead in rifle, bayonet and gre-
nade fighting.
Strong Red probing attacks and
Allied counter-thrusts continued all
across the 155-mile front, accom-
panied by heavy concenrations of
enemy artillery and mortar fire.
However, there still was no indi-
cation the Communists were build-
ing up to a major offensive.
lion, voted 15 to 10 against giving
Mr. Truman power to take over
the steel mills. The vote made it
clear that the President' has little
chance of getting seizure legisla-
tion through the House.
In the Senate, two sponsors of
seizure proposals gave up attempts
to take them on to the economic
controls bill. Sens. Burnet R. May-
Bank, D- S. C. and Francis E. Case
R-S. D. withdrew their amend-
ments to the controls measure and
tried a new tactic. They introduced
them again as separate legislation.
The Senate, however, had more
it plain that it is in on mood to give
the President seizure power — at
least not until he uses the Taft-
Hartley Act.
Inasmuch as the Steelworkers
voluntarily postponed their walkout
several times, Mr. Truman feels it
would be unfair to invoke Taft-
Hartley anti-strike provisions
against them now.
Notorious Pair Now
in Prison May Be
Brought Into Case
PRYOR, Okla., June 12 HPI—1The
notorous Davenport brothers of
Wichita Falls, Tex., were injected
into the murder case of a slain
county attorney Thursday.
Oklahoma Crime Bureau agents
investigating last Saturday’s am-
bush murder of bootlegger-prose-
cuting Mayes County Attorney
Jack Burris said Chester and Nor-
man Davenport had sworn to “even|
the score” with Burris.
The Davenport brothers now arc'
serving 25 years at the Oklahoma I
state peniteniary at McAlester for
kidnaping a highway patrolman,
but officers said the Texans might
furnish information to help solve I
the Burris murder.
Chester and Norman Davenport
charged that Burris traded with
them and promised 10-year senten-
ces for "certain information giv-
en the county attorney.”
An investigator said that hot
words passed between the broth-
ers and Burris at the time the
Davenport’s were sentenced. “They
threatened to get even," he said.
“We are digging pretty deep into
! the theory that some of the Dav-
; enport relatives or close friends
I might have sought revenge,” the
i investigator said.

45 Per Cent Of
Men Drafted Are
Being Rejected
Washington, June 12 nn •
South Carolina had the highest and
Kansas the lowest rejection rate of
draft-eligible men examined dur-
ing the year ended last June 30.
Selective Service Director Lewis
B. Hershey reported that almost
45 per cent of men eligible for mil-
itary service were turned down for
physical, mental and moral reasons
during the past four years
He said the health of American
youth “not only has shown no im-
provement” but is “less favorable”
now' than during World War 11
A state-by-state breakdown of re-
jections during the year ended last
June 30 showed South Carolina on
top with a rejection rate of 63.2
per cent. Kansas was at the bot-
tom of the list with a rejection rate
of 20.6 per cent.
The percentage of rejections in
some other stales:
Missouri 33.4; Oklahoma 36.1;
and Texas 34.
BLACKWELL—Blackwell resi-
dents feel that they have "the best
telephone service in the country”
and apparently do not want to
change over to dial telephones.
San Angelo telephone company
lias proposed to install dial phones
and increase phone rates here.
From all accounts, the town re-
belled. Blackwell is a well-knit hap-
py family and the two telephone
operators here provide a type of
service "that can’t be beat,” in
the words of one business man.
The operators are Mrs. S. M.
Evans, office manager, and Miss
Bertha Smith. They give service to

For Program of Farm Supports
! the “nth” degree—very personaliz-
ed service that a modern mechani-
cal device could never approach,
Blackwell people say.
Of course the operators, working
for the company as loyal em-
ployees, are appreciative of
compliments but not soliciting the
praise that has come.
Both have lived here many years
and are veterans who have had a
personal hand in the joys, sorrows
and excitement that have marked
the lives of all the families in this
vicinity.
Thursday night a public meeting
will be held here at the- school au-
ditorium at 8 o’clock for discussion
of the proposal. Apparently, Black-
well people do not feel that in
their case dial phones would
amount to a forward step in ser-
vice.
WASHINGTON, June 12 IIPI—Bi-
partisan support developed among
House farm leaders Thursday for
legislation to insure that farm sup-
port prices will remain at their
• present high levels no matter who
wins the fall elections.
Chances looked good for House
approval of some legislation of
that kind before Congress adjourns.
But the move appeared likely to
encounter strong Senate opposition.
At stake are government price
props for wheat, corn, cotton,
peanuts and rice. They can range
from 75 to 90 per cent of parity

under a so-called “sliding scale”
which went into force in 1951.
Secretary of Agriculture Charles
F. Brannan, advocate of high sup-
ports, this year pegged them at
the highest level permitted. But
as the law now stands, the ad-
ministration which comes in next
year—be it Republican or Demo-
cratic—could decide otherwise and
lower supports to 75 per cent of
parity.
House moves to suspend the flex-
ible system and make high sup-
ports mandatory developed on two
ironts Wednesday:
1. The House Banking committee
by an overwhelming vote tacked
into a bill to extend the wage-rent
controls a rider that would require
supporters kept at 90 per cent of
parity next year. The rider Is net

South Korea Cuts 1

WASHINGTON, June 12 IIP)—The
United States will protest the South
Korean government’s action in cut-
ting off Voice of America broad-

tj„, casting system, the State Depart-
1 ment said Thursday.
Department Press Officer Linciln
White said U. S. Ambassador John
J. Muccio is taking up the ques-
tion with the South Korean govern-
ment.
White declined comment on
statements by South Korean offi-
cials that the Voice programs were
cut off because of anti-govern-
ment and “obviously insulting
broadcasts."
Mexican Consul
Claims Insult
BOERNE, Tex., June 12 HP) —
The Mexican counsel general to
San Antonio, refused service in a
Boerne cafe, said Thursday he
would protest immediately to
Washington, Mexico City and the
governor of Texas the "direct in-
sult to the Mexican government.”
Counsel General Cosme Hinojo-
sa said he and two companions
were refused service by cafe own-
er Charles O. Grimsle.v Wednesday
afternoon because of their race.
Grimsley, however, told a differ-
ent story.
The cafe owner said Hinojosa
and two other men came into his
establishment and “raised a dis-
turbance."
“They set a bottle of whisky on
the bar,” Grimsley said. “I told
them, ‘You can’t do that.’ They
got nasty and smart, and the coun-
sel general called me a name in
Spanish.
Senate For
Extension
Of Controls
Eight Months More
Life Is Voted In
Latest Revision
WASHINGTON, June 12 HP)-The
Senate passed and sent to the
House Thursday legislation to con-
tinue price-wage-rent controls to
next March 1,
Fassage was by a 58 to 18 roll
call vote
The bill continues the Defense
Production Act, which is scheduled
to expire June 30.
The Senate bill would keep wage,
price and rent controls for eight
more months, but continues auth-
ority for allocation and consumer
credit controls for an additional
year—until June 30, 1953
The bill now goes to the House,
where the Banking committee is
completing its own version of a
controls measure. The House com-
mittee already has recommended
extending wage-price-rent and al-
locations controls for one year, but
dropping real estate and consumer
credit curbs.

Steel Placed On
Big Bridge Over
Oak Creek Lake
Steel girders spanning the Oak
Creek lake crossing of State High-
way 80 are being put in place at a
rate indicating that all of the steel
will be set before the end of this
week.
The new highway bridge is more
than 300 feet long and is approxi-
mately as high at the top of Oak
Creek dam downstream. It will be
some 12 feet above the water at
flood tide.
The highway crossing built on a,
high embankment across the wat- j,on reported,
ers of the lake runs about two miles
long with the bridge across the
channel of Oak Creek.
Work on the dam is being given [
its final touches with dirt work due
to be completed within about a
week. Rip-rap is practically com-
pleted on the upstream facing of j
the dam and will be completed j
within about 10 days on the down- i
stream side.

The accused the Reds of block-
ing an armistice in Korea by re-
fusing to accept the final United
Nations offer.
Maj. Gen. William K. Harrison,
senior UN delegate, agreed to an-
other meeting Friday but told the
Communists, “Why you want to
meet again every day is difficult to
understand."
Harrison said in a six-minute
statement that the UN’s April 28
package proposal was an "inte-
grated whole” and was not subject
to “acceptance in part."
"I tell you flatly and definitely,”
he said, "no further concessions
will be forthcoming.
“You can save much precious
time and achieve an armistice
whenever you desire by the simple
recognition of that fact and by ac-
ceptance of our final, irrevocable
proposal of April 28.”
In this proposal the Allies offer-
ed to return the 70.000 prisoners
who have declared themselves pro-
Communists. Others of the 169,000
held by the Allies would not be
sent back to Red territory.
