Ocean Ordeal Told by Crew
New York—(U.P.)-Two crew members of a B-29 weather plane that crashed in the Atlantic ocean recounted today how they fought off sharks with their bare hands as they battled for survival for 22 hours in heavy seas.
Sgt. Larry Graybill, 21, of Landsdowne, Pa., a radar scanner, and A/2c James Henderson, 20, of Flushing, Mich, arrived here onboard The Home Lines cruise ship Nassau with 13 other survivors from the B-29 and a rescue plane that was forced to land while searching for them.
Both Graybill and Henderson wore bandages on their hands and forearms, attesting to the slashing shark skins from Portuguese Men-Of-War.
Other members of the crew were: A/2c Richard Barker, of Sparata, N.C.; A/2c Philip Bruening, of Paramount, Calif.; A/2c John Shanley, of St. Paul, Minn., and S/Sgt Julian Collins, of Laursen, Iowa.
Seoul, Korea —(UP)— The Republic of Korea announced today the arrest of an influential editor, a police official, and a businessman on suspicion of spying for North Korean communists.
Koreans Arrested On Spying Charge
Defense Minister Admiral Sohn Won Yil said the trio would be tried by a military court next week. The defendants charged are Chung Kuk Un, 35, senior editor of the pro-government newspaper Yonhap Shimmun; police official Hong Tale Ki whom Mr. Chung was alleged to have bribed, and Kang Kwan Jun, a prosperous businessman accused of acting as courier for information supplied by Chung.
Mr. Chung was closely affiliated with former Home Minister Chin Hun Shik, who was dismissed from his post by President Syngman Rhee two weeks ago.
Observers here believed the trial will lead to government action against other influential Koreans believed to be members of the Chin Hun Shik faction.

Bamboo Curtain Conceals Yanks
Tokyo—(U.P.)P. The "bamboo curtain" effectively hides the fate of three Americans captured by the Chinese Reds south of Hong Kong last month. But there is a suspicion the Communists may be cooking up another propaganda "spy" trial with the Americans as the victims.
Such a trial would be complete
such as annotations and arm-bearing
against AIDL. American import
The trio, newsmen Richard Applegate and Don Dixon and Merchant Marine Captain Ben Krasner, with three Chinese crewmen, were seized by a Chinese Communist gunboat while sailing in Applegate's small yacht from Hong Kong to Macao on March 21.
For six months no authentic word of their fate has reached the outside world. Despite repeated inquiries and official American proing even to admit that the Americans tests, Peijing and Moscow have maintained complete silence, refusare being held.
Even the usually-effective Chinese Nationalist intelligence system has failed to produce a clue.
The fact that refugees who filter through the "bamboo curtain" from South China to Macao and Hong Kong have no information on the three white westerners—a fairly uncommon sight in that area today—indicates to some officials that the men are held in confinement and are not being put on display for internal propaganda purposes.
If the pattern of Communist efforts to make propaganda tools of Western prisoners in both North Korea and East Europe is followed, it does not have a trio's fair until they have signed enlistment confessions of espionage and the stage has been set for a people's court martial.
Applegate, former United Press correspondent, and Dixon, of INS, both covered the Korean war. Peiping Radio repeatedly has attacked both agencies in its propaganda broadcasts.

Open shelf books may be read in the room without signing a card. These books are arranged by call number, found in the card catalogue.
Western Civilization references are arranged alphabetically in the open section at the west end of the room.
Reserve books on the close shelves must be asked for by using the author's name. To use a reserve book, the student must present his identification card.
Miss Ewart also explained the newly-installed turnstiles at the west entrance and exist to the room. "It is customary in any room with an open shelf to have a check at the door. The turnstile enables people on the desk to see which books the student has and, if necessary, to help him remember which books must stay in the room."
The west door will be the only exit to the room. The south door will be used as an entrance.
The Green room is being used for reading only. Students are urged to ask at the desk if they are unable to find a book or need additional information, Miss Ewart said.
