U.S. Wives, Children Start to Leave Trieste
Friday, Oct. 16, 1953
Trieste—(U.P.)—American wives and children started evacuating tense Trieste today and United States Army headquarters for Europe banned all non-official travel to the city by either military or civilian personnel.
Well informed sources in Belgrade* reported that Marshal Tito is quietly building up his armed forces about one third above normal strength in his own part of the Trieste territory to back up his threat to invade the Allied zone if Italian troops enter it.
On the Italian side, authoritative Italian sources said in Rome that any compromise plan which would keep Italian troops out of the Allied zone is "unthinkable."
In London, the United States, Britain, and French foreign ministers opened a two-day "save the peace" meeting at which Trieste was a top item on the program.
Despite angry statements by Yugoslavs and Italians, and the threat of fresh riots in Trieste, there were indications that a compromise was being sought.
About twenty wives and children of American soldiers left Trieste by train for the big army supply base at Leghorn, Italy, today in the first stage of the Anglo-American evacuation.
It is expected that all the 700 American and British families will be out within about two weeks. The troops are to follow later.

Foster Hall Joins TV Possessors
Foster hall finally has a television at
Six weeks ago at the opening of school the dormitory for freshmen women was sans TV—one of very few organized houses without it.
But today, thanks to the generosity of a Kansas City television firm, the girls may look all they please.
The 41 members of the dormitory, led by their president, Bev Jones, college freshman, wrote to a Kansas City television company to see if they might secure a set on loan "at least for the duration of the football season, so we can watch the games like persons in all the other houses."
The letter reached the president of the firm, who, in turn referred it to Donald Doss, sales manager. Doss said okay.
The 21-inch unit was installed last Thursday, just in time for the girls to view the Oklahoma-Texas game that weekend.
They will have the set until Jan. 2
Anti-Red POW's Threaten Break
Orlando, Fla. —(UP)— The Air Force today planned an investigation of the crash of a B-47.
Air Force to Check Crash
Panmunjom, Korea — (U.P.) - Four thousand anti-Red North Korean war prisoners threatened a mass breakout from their compound today in a rebellion against "brain washing" interviews by Communist indoctrination officers.
One thousand of the North Koreans refused angrily to be herded into their compound and be taken to the tent city where the Red officers waited to try to get them to agree to go home.
"Steel-heLMeted Indian soldiers, armed with rifles, and packing gas masks, had surrounded the village compounds." United Press correspondent James Morissey reported from a vantage point.
"The soldiers—we found out later there were 600 of them—were lying on the ground, their rifles pointed straight at the enclosures. It looked like the beginning of a battle, but not a shot was fired all day."
Mr. Morissy said some of the North Koreans ignored the negotiations between their leaders and the Indians and began a track meet, carrying some sort of filled sacks as a handicap. Other Koreans applauded and cheered the racers from the sidelines.
Other prisoners huddled near the center of one camp. Every once in a while, they would get up and march around in circles, waving South Korean flags and singing songs.
During the last hour of negotiating, an eerie silence fell over the camp, and there was no movement in the compounds. Then the Indian troops marched off.
Loudspeakers blared inside the camp, announcing there would be no explanations today. Cheers rose from the 8,000 North Korean anti-Communist prisoners.
After the strike had lasted five hours and the North Koreans showed no signs of weakening, Lt. Gen. K. S. Thimayya, head of the neutral nations repatriation commission, called off the interviews.
Gen. Thimayya had ordered the Indians to use force, if necessary, to remove the prisoners from the compounds but declined to tell the guards to carry out his commands.
Radio Peiping, voice of Communist China, blamed "American secret agents" for the dismal failure of the first questioning session Thursday
"Top secret agents" threatened death to any Chinese who accepted repatriation and warned that the prisoner who stood behind him also would be beaten to death, Peiping said.

Baboon Still On the Loose
Chicago—(U.P.)-Herman, a Jekyl-Hyde baboon, roamed through a residential area on Chicago's South Side today, eluding capture by human agents, policemen and youths.
Sometimes he was vicious. He attacked two dogs last night and hurt one seriously.
Sometimes he was lovable. A teenage youth cornered him in the basement of a home today and called: "Here, Herman."
Herman bounced up onto the youth's shoulder and squealed happily. But he became frightened by a growing crowd of on-lookers and led.
"He's a nice baboon," the youth said. "He didn't bite."
Herman, weighing 45 pounds and standing three feet tall, escaped yesterday from a room in a gasoline station where he had been caged by his owner, 17-year-old Edward Clark. The youth, an attendant at the station, said he obtained Herman from John Mach Jr..24.
Mach's mother didn't want a baboon around the house," Clark said.
Anti-cruelty society agents, carrying nets and bananas, spent five hours trying to catch Herman last night, then quit because of darkness.
Marie Smith, 27, found the baboon in the basement of her home this morning. After his playful scene with the neighbor youth, Herman scampered away and last was reported a couple of blocks north, with humane agents and police on his trail.
