Surley Red Prisoners Stage Sitdown Strike
Pusan, Korea — (U.P.) American soldiers broke up a sitdown strike of 745 surly homeward bound Chinese Communists prisoners today by threatening them with bayonets and tear gas.
A platoon of Americans put on gas masks and carried tear gas grenades aboard a U.S. landing ship which had brought 769 sick and wounded prisoners from a camp at Cheju.
The presence of the soldiers caused the Communists, some of them amputees, to change their minds quickly. They left the landing ship in orderly lines, some hobbling on canes.
The shipload was the last contingent of a total of 6,033 disabled Red prisoners to be turned over to the Communists at Panmunjom, beginning Monday.
Before the sitdown strike started, 13 litter cases had been carried off the landing ship and 11 ambulatory patients walked off voluntarily.
The remaining prisoners, some of them tubercular, refused to move. Instead they either squatted stoically or pretended to be sleeping on the steel deck of the hold.
UN officers and interpreters were puzzled because most of the returnees were believed to be diehard Communists who were eager to return to their country.
A spokesman for the strikers told a UN officer the prisoners objected to having their pictures taken by photographers. Later the prisoners demanded an inspection of camp No. 2 at Pusan, where they will remain until they board a hospital train Sunday to go to the prisoner exchange area at Pamunjom.

London, —(U.P.)— John R. Christie,
55-year-old clerk suspected as London's "Notting Hill strangler," was charged with three more murders today.
Christie Charged With 3 Murders
Christie was charged two weeks ago with murdering his wife Ethel, 50, and hiding her body in a slum area chamber of horrors last December.
At West London Magistrates court today he was formally accused of killing Rita Elizabeth Nelson, Kathleen Maloney, and Hectorina MacClennan in January and February.
The three women—all in their 20's—were found sealed up behind red wallpaper in Christie's gloomy apartment. The body of his wife was found hidden under floorboards.
Parts of two other bodies were found buried in a small garden outside the "house of murder," but there has been no court action involving them.

Visual Instruction Bureau To Have New Film Series
School children in Kansas and Kansas City, Mo., will soon be able to view important world and domestic happenings in newsreel form through the News Magazine of the Screen distributed by the Bureau of Visual Instruction.
Warner Brothers-Pathe News, producers of this citizenship teaching aid now used in 30 states, has arranged for KU to handle distribution in this area.
EE Prof to Attend Special Lab Course
Dr. Edward L. Jordan, assistant professor of electrical engineering, will attend a special two-week course given by Bell laboratoreis in August.
The course on the design of computer and switching circuits will be taken by 75 university professors and representatives of industry throughout the nation. The course involves new research data not yet generally published which is used to disseminate the information.
It will be the first time in five years that a KU professor has attended a similar course.
The bureau will handle 20 copies a month of the News Magazine of the Screen, which is issued 10 times during the school year. Copies of the April and May releases will be available for inspection by educators.
In the News Magazine of the Screen the regular newsreel format is expanded by use of more analytical commentary, editorial notes, maps, and other effects leading to better understanding of the material.
Supplementing coverage of the important current events are surveys of science, aviation, arts, and an American heritage feature Printed materials accompany each film so the teacher can plan the most effective use. These include a synopsis and suggested test questions.
