Mrs. L. M. Browning, Lone
Troop Consultant for the Nation

troop over the week-end and

year have been put to good use
and that Girl Scout literature
. was being used to great advantage.
She was also glad to see that the
fall exodus of families has not im
paired the troop to any extent.

cancies there are may soon be fill- i
ed with other girls in the com
munity who have not taken ad
vantage of the privileges of being
a Girl Scout.

Western Heads To
Talk With Stalin
•PARIS, (/P)—Diplomats of the
Big Three western powers agreed
“in principle” Saturday to meet
Russia in four-power talks in an
effort to reduce world tension.
The British and American am
bassadors concluded a conference
with French foreign office offi
cials by agreeing on the general
content of three separate notes
the three governments will send
to the Soviet Union.
The notes will answer the Rus
sian suggestion of Nov. 3 that
four-power talks be held on Ger
many.
It was learned authoritatively
that the Western diplomats re
jected the proposal of meeting
solely to discuss Germany, but
will agree to a Big Four meeting
on all the world’s problems.
The replies to Russia will be
drafted by the separate govern
ments and dispatched to the
Kremlin through the Western em
bassies in Moscow.
Bob Baker, Fish and Wildlife
agent, who has headquarters at
Kotzebue, is scheduled to leave
for California this month for thej
Sacramento district, where he
will assist the game enforcement
officials for about a month.

10 American POW
Return “Home”
SEATTLE, (IP)—Ten American
soldiers, all former prisoners of
the North Koreans or Chinese
communists, arrived here Friday
to. await reassignment—probably
in the United States.
Some had escaped their captors
and others had been given their
freedom voluntarily by some un
explained quirk of fate.
Among the latter was Cpl.
Samuel C. Odom, 20, of Flora,
Miss. He was captured by the
Chinese near Unson, Korea.
‘After we had been with them
for 211 days, the Chinese commun
ists just took us up near the
American lines,” he said. “They
pointed and told us: Cro that way
and go home/ They shook hands
with us and we went—home.”
Sgt. William J. Goodwin of
Kenton. O., said he “liquidated**
several of the enemy in making
a run for it after he had been
captured “up by the Manchurian
border someplace.”
“It wasn’t too bad,” comment
ec Cpl. Leonard Hamm of Som
erset,, Ky., “I lived on a twice-a
day ration of cracked com for
20 days.”
