Six Years After, West Side Man, German Captive Reunited Here
This happy scene In a Wyoming home late Friday night makes it hard to believe that six short years ago Hans Engel, left, waa Uie German Army captive of Dudley Russell, right, then a U. S. Army lieutenant on prisoner /detail. .
It was a sincerely happy reunion that took place at the Russell home, 59 Susquehanna avenue, Wyoming, when Hans and hia wife, Jane, who reside at Larohmont, N. Y., rang the bell and were greeted by Russell, his wife Gisela and their two children, Karen Jo and   Steven  Paul.
The atory behind the atory starts long before WorW War n. It starts with German-born Hans coming to the United Statea where his father, a prominent surgeon, and his mother took up residence in  West Chester, Pa.
Hans had become a typical American boy In apeeoh and aetlons by the time of his father's unexpected death.
The war clouds were Just form¬
ing when Hans and hta mother iiad to return to Germany to set' tie some business matters and visit with relatives.
Shortly after their arrival In Germany, Hitler decided the time was right and Hans as a native- born German was included in the draft, over his strong protesta Soon he was In uniform.
Ever watching for a chance to desert, the time came early in 1944 and it would take volumes to recount the experiences he went through in making his way through Holland to Italy, where he joined a ituerrllla hand to await the arrival of U. S. forces. Surrendered to British
A   spear-heading   British    unit
arrived first and Hans gave him¬ self up to insure agaiiut racap' ture by German or Italian forces.
His request to be sent to the United States as an American citizen was refused by the British, but they did turn him over to the U. S. Army for shipment to the U. 8. as a prisoner of war.
Many influential  friends Han's father had made in the U. S. be fore his death vainly tried to get Hans    released — among    them Walter Damrosch, the conductor.
tiate in 1946, Hans and other prisoners were returned to Eu¬ rope and at that point Russell enters this story.

UN Accuses Enemy Of Hiding 944 Cls
MUNSON, Korea (IP)—^The ( onimunist.s are terror¬ izing Allied captives into resisting repatriation, a returned South Korean soldier reported Sunday.
The ROK soldier, one of 12 "reluctant" South Kor¬ eans returped Saturday with a Turk, said he knew of "at least" 50 fellow countrymen who wanted to return but were afraid to because of Red propaganda.
He aaid the Communists told them they would be imprisoned for three years oh Koje Island if they returned and that they might face charges of "collaboration "
The Communists, meanwhile, said the actual number of "re¬ luctant" American war prisoners still in Red handa would be known "soon."
Reda Hiding Figurea
The Communltsts have kept the figure seceret, but a Communist correspondent said "we will re¬ veal the number to the neutral nations repatriation commission soon."
He presumably meant by next Thursday since an Indian spokes¬ man aaid the Communists prom- laed to turn over about 320 United Nations prlaonera, 30 of them non-Koreana, then.
Tha Alllea hav« accused the Communists of holding back at least 944 American prisoners, and it waa believed most of the 20 non-Koreeana to be turned over to In,dian custody might be Amer¬ ican troopa. One of tha returned ROKa aald the Reda are holdingi 2,000 Sunday.
180 more  Koreans  than  they  re¬ ported. Driven Insane
Allied officers were shocked at the condition of the Turkish soldier, Pvt. Cavid Kekbebir, re¬ turned Saturday. They said he had become a mental case in captivity and that his talk was now  "meaningless."
Hia con.dition raised the ques¬ tion whether other non-Koreans in Communistic hands were in condition to decide for themselves whether they did not want to re¬ turn home or whether the Com¬ munists took advantage of their mental state to keep them.
Mentally unstable prisoners should have been returned last April during the exchange of sicK and  wounded  war  prisoners.
The United Nations, meanwhile, turned over to Indian custody another 1,937 anti-Communist prisoners   and   promised   another

BIGGER DRAFT CALLS POSSIBLE AFTER JULY
WASHINGTON ilB- A Defense Department apokesonan aaid Sat¬ urday that all of the armed forces may be forced to draft men after next July  1.
If adopted, a service-wide draft would mean a big increase in monthly draft calls above those already anticipated. Selective Service Director Lewis B. Her¬ ahey haa estimated that induc¬ tions may soar as high as 50,000 to 60,000 a month by mid-1954 to  meet  Army needs  alone.
The committee condemned mass use of gamma globulin because "hundreds" of thousands will be inoculated for each person who benefits. But it can "usefully be given" to prevent paralyala of per- aona in close contact with polio patienta, to patienta in hospital wards and to children in nursery schools following exposure to a ease of polio," the report said. Protective Dosa
Gamma globulin could "juatlfl- atily" be given as a protective dose in essential tonsil operation and during pregnancy "since in the later months of pregnancy, polio may take a very severe form," the report aaid.
They said that officials faced with outbreaks of polio also need not close schools o;- swimming pools with chlorinated water or ban public meetings.
They listed several steps which persons should take to avoid con tracting the disease during epi¬ demics. These included avoiding tonsil and adenoids operations; avoiding large scale intra-muscu lar Injections: avoiding intimate association   wi^i   members   of   a

Lapham's Supporters Tell White House Unions Respect Him
WASHINGTON (IP>—Roger W. Lapham, former mayor of San Francisco, has been proposed as secretary of lobar by influential friends of President Eisenhower, it was learned last night.
Lapham, a life-long Republican, h«is had wide experience in labor- management affairs. He was an induetry member of the World War n War Labor Board and was once a vice president of the San Francisco Employers Coun¬ cil. From 1948 to 1952 ha headed Marshall Plan missiona to Greece and China. Respected by lAbor
Hia aupport^ra emphasized to the White House that he la re¬ spected by organized labor.
There waa no hint, however, that Lapham—^who will be 70 In December — Is necessarily the "front runner." The post wm left vacant two weeks ago by the abrupt resignation of Martin P. Durkin, former AFL Plumbers Union president and a Steveneon Democrat.
Chairman Samuel K. McCon¬ nell (R-Pa.) of the House labor committee, (3ov. Alfred B. Dris¬ coll of New Jersey, and Dean J. Douglas Brown of Princeton Uni versity, are among others report¬ ed under discussion.

The White House announced that Vice President Richard M. Nixon will deliver a message from Mr. Eisenhower to the annual AFL convention at St. Louis next Wednesday. Durkin will be there CM a delegate.
The secretary of labor usually reads the President's message at such conventions. The choice of Nixon, instead of eome lesser ad¬ ministration functionary, was
New Peace Plan Debate
V
Is Red Aim
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. (UV- Russia proposed yesterday that the United Nations reopen debate on which nations will take part in the Korean peace conference.
The Soviet Union formally re¬ quested the UN to consider the demand of the Far East Commu¬ nists for a round-table peace meeting which would include Indian and three other neutral Asian nations.
Soviet Delegate Andrei Y. Vish- insky sent the request to the UN. He asked for debate on the Chin¬ ese and North Korean objections to the US decision last -month providing for a two-sided peace parley.
Oppose New Debate
The United States and the other 15 UN members that fought in Korea have agreed to oppose any Communist attempt to reopen de¬ bate on the composition of the peace conference, which is sup¬ posed to be held by Oct. 28.
The background for the Soviet demand was thi.s:
At the special as.sembly session in August, three resolutions were approved. One invited to the peace parley as representatives of the "UN side" all the nations that fought under the UN flag in Korea.
BuNsia, If
A second resolution invited Rus¬ sia if "the other side desires it."
The third resolution called on UN Secretary {Jeneral Dag Ham¬ marskjold to forward all deci¬ sions and records of the proceed¬ ings to the Chinese and North Korean Reds and to "report as appropriate."

Sfo Sales Tax Plan Coming Illinois Republican Says
WASHINGTON (IP)—Rep. Noah, liquor,   beer,  wine  and  tobacco—
M. Mason (R-III.) asserted Satur¬ day that President Eisenhower is planning to ask Congress to en¬ act a national 5 per cent retail sales tax.
Mason, a high-ranking member of the tax-writing House ways and means committee, said he had it "on good authority" that Mr. Eisenhower is "about ready" to ask for the tax. Taxes Expiring
It would replace revenue that will be lost starting Jan. 1 when the excess profits tax expires and a 10 per cent individual income tax cut becomes effective.
Mason said that, as he under¬ stands it, the levy would replace existing   excise   taxes—except   on
and would  raise $5,000,000,000.
He said )he will introduce m counter-measure, an 8 per cent manufacturers' sales tax, to ba imposed on all finished manufac¬ tured goods as a replacement for present excise taxes. He calcu¬ lated llis proposal would increase net revenues by $3,500,000,000. Defeat Predicted
Mason predicted, however, that Congress will not agree to either type in 1954, an election year.
He joined (Chairman Daniel A. Reed (R-N. Y.) of the House ways and means committee In opposition to a federal saiea tax, which would put a levy on every consumer sale, excluding food and such other essentials as medicine.
