“All The Sickening Details Of

Fishermen Relief
Program Fine For
Start, Says Bartlett
WASHINGTON, UP) — Delegate
Bartlett Thursday described the
relief program announced by Gov.
Heintzleman for Alaska’s fisher
men as a “commendable start.”
“But obviously,” he added, “it
will not take care of the immedi
ate need.”
Heintzleman announced Tues
day that Secretary of the In
terior McKay has made $250,000
available for a public works con
struction program and that the
Agriculture Dept, has made
surplus foods available for distri
bution to the fishermen hard
pressed by poor salmon runs.
In addition, he said President
Eisenhower has directed the Fed
eral Civil Defense Administration
to' survey the Alaska situation and
give assurance “of any consid
eration which is possible under
existing authority of the federal
government.”
Bartlett and Henry Benson,
territorial Commissioner of Labor
criticized the governor last week
for his refusal to join with them
in an appeal to the President for
aid. Bartlett and Benson then
asked the President Saturday for
an appointment but to date have
received no reply.
In commending the governor,
Bartlett expressed hope that the
$250,000 Public Works program
could start immediately without
the necessity of delaying surveys.

S> WASHINGTON, UP)—1The Army
laid before the world a docu
mented indictment of Commun
ist atrocities in Korea—what it
called “all the sickening details
of horror” in which probably
6,113 Americans died a tortured
death.
The statistics were not new.
But it was the first time the
Army gave out grisly details of
how captured American GIs were
dragged on death marches,
roasted alive, lined up and shot.
What survivors had to say was
grim reading—“One of the boys
had no head; it seemed to have
been mashed or beaten and was
laying all over the road . . . The
other GI had his eyes gouged out,
nothing remained where his eyes
were except holes.”
The charts and text indicated
most of the atrocities occurred in
the first year of the war, when
the Communists invaded South
Korea and overran American and
Republic of Korea troops. There
was a smaller upsurge of the
graph line when the Chinese en
tered the war and hurled Allied
forces southward from the region
of the Yalu River.
To the Chinese were charged
27.5 per -cent of the war crimes
alleged. The North Korean Reds,
who had only a fraction as many
troops in the field as Communist
China, were blamed as the great
er barbarians.
The Army said: “It is an inter
esting fact that the North Korean
people’s army slaughtered most
civilians during September, 1950.
Of these, 14,602 or 84.6 per cent
were slain in the last four days
of the month.”
That included the “Taejon
massacre” where the Reds were
said to have killed the occupants
of the South Korean city in
batches of hundreds at a time—
among them 42 Americans.
