LXIV, No. 78 Red Parley Will Not Halt POW Release Jan. 22 Release Called Inevitable By WILLIAM C. BARNARD PANUNJOM-01'-t seems a cinch that 22,000 Chinese and North. Korean prisoners in the anti-Red compounds will be re- leased after midnight Jan. 22 (Ko- rean time). Top authoritative sources in Korea say it is inevitable. "r "All this stuff now going on at Panmunjom," one said, "is just for show. The ,issues have been -settled a long, long time." THE ALLIES demand release of the prisoners at 12:01 a.m. Jan. 23. The Reds insist they be held while "come home" interviews are resumed and until a Korean peace conference can determine their fate. Indians guarding them main- * tain a gentlemanly, wavering position, irrating but not actual- ly antagonizing either side. It is possible Lt. Gen. K. S.- Thimayya, under instructions from his government, might throw his vote to the Communist side of the Neutral Nations Repatriation Commission by deciding the pris- oners should be held past the Jan. 22 date. The- commission chairman thus would side with the Poles and Czechs against the Swiss and Swedes. * * * IF THE REDS win such a rul- ing, plans already have been made for the anti-Red prisoners simply to break out of their 55 com- pounds in the neutral zone and start walking south, it can be said authoritatively, It also can be disclosed that the Indian troops would make no move whatever to stop the mor slow them. There is one unanswered ques- tion: Would Communist forces move into the demilitarized zone and southward in an attempt to halt the prisoners? ** * THE UNITED States 8th Army has thought of this possibility. If the Commufists move south, they will march straight into Allied-gun- fire and possible renewal of the Korean war. The 8th Army has made de- tailed plans for handling south- bound prisoners. They will be "chanlized" through extensive barbed wire en- tanglements and barriers, well marked by white tape. "There are hostiles among you. Weed them out. "Keep moving." Chinese and Koreans will go Into temporary holding com- pounds. From there, they will move south in trucks andtrains. The North Koreans will be ac- commodated in South Korea. The Chinese who want to go there will be taken to Formosa.

Homer Capehart (R-Ind.) yes- terday suggested a- billion-dollar government program to help peo- ple buy homes on 50 to 60-year mortgages with little or no down payments. Sen. Capehart, chairman of the Senate Banking Committee which will consider President Eisenho- er's housing proposals, advanced what he called a "radical idea" of making homeomers of citizens otherwise unable to afford their own dwellings. s s " HE TOLD a Congress of Indus- trial Organizations housing con- ference he has long been worried about the plight of citizens who cannot afford either a down pay- ment on a home or "the high rents they are forced to pay today." Sen. Cpehart disapproved past programs under which pub- lie housing has been built with federal subsidies for rent to low- income families. He said itzwould be better to help such families finance their own homes. "We could go into it on, say, a' billion dollar basis figuring on los- ing 200 or 300 million," Sen. Cape- hart said. "Even if we tool a licking fi- nancially, because some of the people couldn't keep up their payments, I think we'd be better off as a nation than with the public housing plan. I think the vast majority would become suc- cessful homeowners." Sen. Capehart said the billion dollars might help build a million homes, presumably by addition to private construction capital.

Debt Limit, Taxes Among Maj or Issues Public Opinion Seen Favoring Measures WASHINGTON - () - Mem- bers of Congress took a second look at President Eisenhower's legisla- tive program yesterday and let it be known that. he will have to fight to get major parts of it through the House and Senate; Public reaction to Thursday's State-of-the Union message, as measured by telegrams received at the White House, is "over-whelm- ingly in favor" of the Eisenhower program, Press Secretary James C.

Chairman John Taber (R-NY) of the House Appropriations Com- mittee said: -Daily-Chuck Kelsey tries of "certain knowledge of the tactical use of our nuclear weap- ons."

Affected were employes of auto makers, steel companies, railroads and electrical manufacturers. * * * LAYOFFS have mounted in re- cent weeks. Railroads have laid off around 18,000. The textile, farm equipment and rubber indus- tries also have been affected. In announcements this week, most company spokesmen blam- ed "adjusted production sched- ules" or "a lack of immediate business." North American Aviation Inc., disclosing plans to lay off 1,100 at Columbia, Ohio, attributed the action to the government's sched- uled "stretchout" in defense con- tracts. THE BIGGEST layoffs this week were in Michigan, where the num- ber of jobless rose to 142,000. At the Plymouth Division of Chrysler Corp. and the Automotive Body Briggs Division, 7,650 workers were taken off the payrolls yester- day. Hudson Motor Co. sent 4,501 home. In South Bend, Ind., Stu- debaker Corp. said it would lay off 3,000 to 3,500 because it plans to cut production.
