U.N. Refuses to
Return Red POW’s
In Chains, ’Cuffs
MUNSAN, Korea, .(/P) — U.N.
truce negotiators Thursday ac
cused the Communists of insisting
that thousands of Allied-held war
prisoners be chained or hand
cuffed and shipped back to the
Reds like cattle.
Maj.' Gen. William K. Harrison
told the Communists their de
mand for forced repatriation of
all Allied-held prisoners “falls on
deaf ears.”
“The U.N. will not forcibly and
violently drive to your side any
one who resists returning to you.”
He reiterated that the U. N.
screening program showed “in
controvertibly” that 100,000 pris
oners would rather die than re
turn to Communism.
The chief U.N. negotiator’s ad
dress came after North Korean
General Nam II charged that re
cent outbreaks of violence on Koje
Island have proved the Allied
principle of voluntary repatria
tion “utterly bankrupt.’’
Harrison again proposed an in
definite recess until the Reds call
for another session, but the Com
munists stuck to their insistence
on daily meetings.

New Code Approved
To Govern Treatment of
Alaska’s Mentally 111
WASHINGTON, (JP)—A bill to
establish a new code to govern the
treatment of mentally ill in Alas
ka has been approved by the
House Interior Affairs Committee.
Delegate Bartlett (D - Alaska)
said the code would conform with
the most modern and improved
state laws for the mentally ill.
A provision originally in the
bill which would authorize the
construction of a hospital for such
patients in Alaska was eliminated
before the measure was approved.
The committee also approved
measures for the sale of small
tracts of government land in Al
aska as follows:
Forty acres near Glenallen to
the Catholic bishop of northern
Alaska for mission use; 135 acres
near Kenai to the Alaska Council
of Boy Scouts for a campsite; and
40 acres near Anchorage to the
State Victory Bible Camp Ground,
Inc., for a recreational camp.
U.S. CURTAILS EXPORT OF
STEEL MILL PRODUCTS
WASHINGTON, (/P)—1The gov
ernment Thursday halted the ex
port of all steel mill products ex
cept those “essential to direct mil
itary production of the United
States or friendly countries, or
essential to direct defense-sup
porting industries.”
The action was taken by the
Commerce Department because of
the strike which has cut off new
production by the nation’s steel
mills.
It follows an embargo already
placed on warehouse deliveries of
steel to JJ.S. producers of con
sumer goods.

Gen. Grow To Be
Court Martialed
WASHINGTON, (/P>—Maj. Gen.
Robert W. Grow, whose diary
was stolen by Russian agents
while he was visiting in Germany,
will be tried by court martial, the
Army announced Thursday.
Grow was a military attache at
the American embassy at Moscow.
The announcement said that the
Army had completed the investi
gation of the charges preferred
against Grow and that trial by
court martial is warranted.
The Russians made propaganda
use of the diary, publishing ex
cerpts in which Grow was depic
ted as advocating war now against •
Russia.
The trial will be held at Fort
Meade, Md., with the sessions
closed to the public. The date for
the trial was not announced.
In March of 1951 Grow was in
Frankfurt, Germany, for a medi
cal checkup. The Army has said
that someone believed to be a
Soviet spy slipped into his room
there and photographed portions
of the diary.
The published excerpts attribu
ted such quotations to Grow as:
“War! As soon as possible Now!
“Our attack should be directed
at enemy weakness. Although the
military services are primarily
concerned with military weapons
and methods, we must understand
that this war is total war and is
fought with all weapons.
“We must learn that in this war
it is fair to hit below the belt.”
Since the Grow incident, the
Army has forbidden all of its
personnel overseas to keep diaries
or personal records involving mil
itary matters.
SEATTLE, (/P)— Alaska Air
lines, which suspended its Seattle
Alaska passenger flights Satur
day, probably will not be able to
resume passenger service to Fair
banks for about ten days, it was
reported Wednesday.
