Patrol Action Rages Along Snow-Covered Battlefront
Seoul, Korea — (U.P.)—Unusually heavy Communist patrol action was reported today along the snow-covered Korean battlefront as Allied bombers pounded behind-the-lines build-up centers for Red troops and supplies.
Allied artillery and infantrymen killed 130 Communists Sunday and Monday in patrol clashes along the front. The Reds attacked at various points from Anchor hill on the Eastern front to the far Western front.
Action was especially heavy on the central front where front line observers reported "unusual" movement of enemy troops close behind the fighting lines. Yesterday 159 groups of Red troops were spotted in the area, some of them ranging up to a platoon in size.
Allied artillery zeroed in on the Communist groups as observers reported them and sent the Reds scurrying for cover.
Red Says UN Bombed POW's
Pamunjonjo, Korea—(U.P.) N or n the Korean Gen Nam II charged today that United Nations warplains have killed 39 Allied prisoners of war and wounded 157 in nine attacks on Communist prisoner of war camps.
Nam's charge was made in a letter to Lt. Gen. William K. Harrison, chief Allied negotiator, at a brief liaison officer's meeting today.
The Reds made no mention of Gen. Mark Clark's request to exchange seriously sick and wounded prisoners of war.
Nam, who heads the Communist Armistice team, upbraided the Allies for rejecting a previous red protest of an alleged prison camp bombing in Syria. The attack was tone to the Communist tirades in the Pamunium truce tent.
"Since the beginning of the armistice negotiations alone," Nam said, "your side has nine times bombed and strafed our prisoners of war camps, killing 39 of your captured personnel and wounding 157 of them.
"Your side has never rendered any responsible accounting for this series of serious crimes. But shameless silence, denial, slander and vituperation cannot in the least relieve your side of the fullest responsibilities for these barbarous actions . . ."
Congress Hears Washington's Advice
As they have for years, the House and Senate observed George Washington's birthday with separate ceremonies at 11 a.m. CST, built around a reading of the first president's famous "Farewell Address."
Washington —(U.P.)—Congress laid aside legislative business today to listen to some old but ever-new advice from the father of the country.
The coveted reading assignments this year went to Sen. John Sherman Cooper (R-Ky.) and Rep. Richard H. Poff (R-Va.). The theme, as pertinent today as it was 157 years ago, was the need for national unity in a time of trial.

Baur Speaks On 'Arousing Voters'
"Arousing interest in issues of an election is the only way to increase the number of voters," Dr. E. Jackson Baur, associate professor of sociology, said yesterday in a "Sociology on the Air" broadcast.
Mass media of communication such as group meetings, public forums, letters, and other means of informing voters need to be stressed, he added.
Barely 60 percent of the eligible voters vote in any year, he commented. "The record vote last fall was partially the result of publicity measures to arouse interest in the election." Dr. Baur said.
Citing an experiment conducted in 1950 by a class in Techniques of Opinion Measurement, Dr. Baur stressed two points:
1. People who vote do so regularly; once started in the voting habit, they continue.
2. People who vote are those interested in the outcome of the election because of the issues at stake.
Findings of the class, Dr. Baur said, were fairly representative of any cross-section of voters.
