Reds Says 400
POWs May Choose
Communist Rule
PANMUNJOM, GT) — Another
136 Americans and 264 other U.N.
prisoners of war streamed back
to freedom Tuesday but the Reds
said 400 of the POWs still in the
stockades may not come back be
cause they have chosen Commu
nist rule.
Allied sources confirmed that
the Red statement was handed
over at a meeting of the prisoner
repatriation committee in Pan
munjom Monday night. There was
no word of a breakdown of na
tionalities among the 400.
Tuesday’s release of nine Ameri
can officers and 127 enlisted men
boosted to nearly 2,000 the num
ber of Americans liberated in
three weeks of the prisoner ex
change.
Many Americans repatriated
earlier have told of some fellow
captives who have elected to re
main behind, either because they
had turned informer and feared
retaliation or had swallowed
Communist propaganda.
In sharp contrast to Commu
nist prisoners moving northward,
Tuesday’s liberated Americans
came back quietly. A few shouted
jubilantly, but most were silent,
simply happy to return from bleak
North Korean camps. They ap
peared in good health.
Communist prisoners delivered
by the U.N. Command continued
their violent demonstrations.
Their return was interrupted
three times when North Koreans
spit in the faces of two Allied of
ficers.
Ice and water can each exist at
32 degrees Fahrenheit, and if a
mixture of the two is heated uni
formly, the temperature will not
rise until the ice is all melted.
6 Cannery Workers Held
Under Provisions of
McCarran - Walter Act
SEATTLE, UP)—Six more alien
cannery workers have been de
tained here under provisions of
the McCarran-Walter Immigration
Act.
JohnP. Boyd, Immigration Ser
vice director, said the six were
picked up as they arrived by
plane from Alaska the past few
days. He explained they are be
ing held in lieu of $1,000 bond
pending a hearing to determine
their admissibility as aliens.
All are Filipinos except one, a
Mexican.
Moose Comes Off Worse
In Collision With Truck
FAIRBANKS, UP)—A moose and
a truck collided on Airport Road
in the city limits here and the
wrecker picked up the moose for
a change—the truck was able to
leave under its own power.
John Stephl said he was going
about 40 miles an hour when he
struck the moose. The animal was
tossed on the hood and stuck a
horn through the windshield.
The wrecker carried the 1000
pound three-year-old bull, who
had died of a broken neck, to
Fish and Wildlife Service head
quarters where he was dressed
and given to Fairbanks charitable
institutions.

OH, DIANA!
Successful Pastor
Visits Jail Where
He Was Converted
SEATTLE, UP)—The Rev. Hugh
E. Rounds, 43, of Anchorage, Al
aska, is an eminently successful
minister, a “part time” United
States marshal, and 1949’s “Man
of the Year” in his Alaska home
city.
He is pastor of the Mountain
View Church and runs a rescue
mission in Anchorage at which
last year 1,200 persons, mostly
homeless men, were housed and
65,000 meals were served.
Sunday, the Rev. Mr. Rounds
visited the place where he got
the decision to follow the teach
ings of Christ, the place where
he changed his life into the sue
cess it has become.
The Rev. Mr. Rounds visited
Tank 2-A at the King County Jail.
As Jailer Andy Anderson swung
open the heavy steel-bar door, the
Rev. Mr. Rounds remembered:
“I was a no-good police charac
ter. In and out of jails all the
time. In the fall of 1933 they
charged me with 2d degree burg
lary and I spent a good bit of
time in this tank.”
He recalled that a group of
Christian workers appeared in the
cell block one day and that the
word they carried “converted me
into a life of Christianity.”
His story impressed the late
Superior Judge Chester A. Batch
elor, who sentenced him to up to
20 years in the Washington State
Penitentiary, but then suspended
it and turned his case over to
parole authorities.
For several years the Rev. Mr.
Rounds preached as an evange
list. He was graduated from the
Bethel Temple Bible School.
Eight years a^o he went to An
chorage.
Each time he returns to Seattle
for a visit, he works for the U.S.
marshal in Anchorage and deliv
ers a prisoner to the federal peni
tentiary at McNeil Island. And he
also visits Tank 2-A at the county
jail. He says:
“I try to tell them about Chris
tianity, about what happened to
me. I know it helps.”
