The specter of brutal treatment and long-time confinement treated an apathy among many U.N. soldiers who were returned—and a psychological shock, which doctors say only time and care will heal. | ‘There seems to be one hope generated by the prison- tr exchange which has been generally overlooked. This is ‘the probability that Communist prisoners will often tell the truth about the U. S. behind enemy lines, Just as our own prisoners are being carefully interro- gated, in an effort by U. S. officials to see what ‘sort of treatment they received at the hands of the Communists, so, too, will Communist prisoners be questioned in North , Korea and China, It is reasonable to assume that many will tell the truth—that they were treated well, fed well, and handled fairly, as human beings, by personnel of the United States and allied countries. : ‘These facts, of course, are contrary to the picture which has been painted by the Communists. While we are discoveriig brutal death marches and new atrocities, in- flicted on our-own. soldiers, nearly 6,000 Communists, if they dare tell the truth, must admit they have been treat- ed fairly by U. N. and U. S. soldiers. It might even be ac- curate to. xy. that the 5,800 Communist prisoners returned by the U. N, probably realize, better than any other group in China and North Korea, that the propaganda of their own ‘government is not true. If a complete prisoner exchange is completed, over 100,000 Communist prisoners—-who have been treated de- cently by the allies—will wind up in North Korea and China, We hope they spread the gospel, Dal ‘ ‘There was one authority higher than Stalin’s, the Rus- ‘Some people will not know what hit them if another No one has suggested that Stalin’s death was part of 2 plan to fool the western world. > tal . ‘The average worker would perform better if he were allowed two vacations a year.instead of one, though some modern-day “workers” seem to us to be on continuous va- eation, Today’s Business Mirror By SAM DAWSON “NEW YORK The U. S. dol- lar is getting harder. An@ the re- sulting tight money squeeze is be- ginning to cause some yelps of pain, The American dollar is now worth as:much as the Canadian— for the first time in over a year. Tight money and rising interest rates here are among the raesons given, Corporations wanting to get mon- Jey by floating bonds or other se- curities are finding the cost has risen till it hurts. This week South- ern Bell Telephone & Telegraph Co., seeking to float ‘a 30 million dollar block of debentures, found it would have to pay at least 3.79 per cent—and rejected all offers, while it thinks it over.’ Investors who have U. S. gov- ernment bonds (other than sav- ings bonds) have found that the sharp drop in their prices recently has shaved millions of dollars off their market value. ‘ The insurance company, fof ex- ample which a thousand dol- lar Victor} 2% and once could get a thousand dollars or better for it, now finds its current market value only about $920. Other countries now prefer the American dollar to gold, This is shown in recent weeks by a steady fE che ue it Bank and Dur. rly morning hard to con- ‘ i ff q and the wives of the Qut- members g lars and U.

Bankers have been complaining that the demand for loans is at a record level for this time of year—and they are hard pressed to find the money to lend. They hike their interest rates and turn dowh many loan requests. They blame the tight money pol- icy which the Federal Reserve Board has been applying, starting about two years ago. Bankers and some businessmen are “saying that if money doesn’t ease a little soon, rough economic times may lie ahead. The Federal Reserve Board Chairman Martin says this. tight money Policy duties eased “when tionary. ers. no longer threaten stability.” But he told Boston bankers: Wednesday that the board is still fearful of infla- tion. The board could ease the tight money situation by reducing the amount of money which banks must keep in reserve to back up deposits; by lowering the redis- count rate the board charges when it lends banks money; or by buy- ing large amounts of U. S. se- curitise in the open market, send- C. Of C. For-Upper Keys To Meet At Tavernier Mon. PRESS TRAIN THING,OF PAST MUNSAN (#—The press train at Munsan became a thing of the past today.
