Congress King Had Varied Career
WASHINGTON (UP)—Karl C. King has had a varied career, and one little thing led to another, in four directions.
The directions were from farm boy, to reporter, to manager of a big truck farm, to politics.
King at present is a Republican Congressman from Pennsylvania.
Our man was born on a farm near Plevna, Kan. As a lad he slopped pigs, juiced cows, gathered eggs and flung hay into the rack. He didn't like it. And one day while sitting under a cow, he made up his mind that he would become a newspaperman.
After he finished his schooling he realized ambition number two. Eventually he latched onto a paper in Kansas City. His first assignment was to cover the markets. Even though he was still remotely connected with the farm, he liked his work as he made the rounds to report prices on hogs, cattle, wheat, and hay.
Along came World War I, and there was a gap in the reporter's career as he did a hitch in the Navy. After he was separated he got a job on a paper called "The Packer," which dealt with the produce industry.
Finally, he begged his boss to transfer him to Packer's New York office so that he could continue his schooling. His immediate goal was to get a degree in Journalism. So he covered the lettuce and carrot beat in the daytime and went to school at night. He never quite made the degree at Columbia University, but he grew in stature as a newsaperman.
Eventually "The Packer" people sent him to Philadelphia to cover doings on truck farms in the Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington area. One day his editor called him in and asked him to look into a fabulous produce farm...

Eventually "The Packer" people sent him to Philadelphia to cover doings on truck farms in the Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington area. One day his editor called him in and asked him to look into a fabulous produce farm near Morrisville, Pa.
King spent the day with owner of the place and was fascinated by the efficient operation. His host asked the young newsman how he would like to leave his notebook and typewriter in Philadelphia and return as general manager of the property.
The money looked good, but King didn't believe the ink he had collected on his typing fingers would wash off. He kept at the reporter's job until 1929, moved to Morrisville, Pa., took a 21-year lease on 7,000 acres and went into the produce business for himself.
"I didn't have the capital to buy the place," he told me. "I became a tenant farmer. I still am. I later renewed that lease."
King, of course, is in Washington now. But he keeps his hand
Red Stool Pigeon Quizzed by MPs
TOKYO (UP) — Military police today questioned "Slick," most notorious stool pigeon in the Communist prison camps, on his movements while absent without leave from a Tokyo hospital.
They tried to find out whether "Slick," who has been marked for death by fellow Americans be betrayed, had made any contact with the Communist underground.
"Slick" vanished Aug. 28, a few hours before he was scheduled to leave with four other former prisoners on a plane for the United States. He returned voluntarily to the hospital last night.
The possibility that "Slick" contacted Communists, either Korean, Chinese or Japanese, was not discounted.
Fellow prisoners who suffered because of "Slick's" treachery said he was not a Communist. They said he was a "rat" who turned them in to the Chinese in order to receive favors.
In the operation of truck-patch vegetable growing. His rented place is called "King Farms" and annually grosses something over two and a half million dollars.

Army Manpower Cut Cancelled
WASHINGTON (UP)—The Defense Department has cancelled a scheduled cut in Army manpower and will continue drafting men at about the present rate until stable peace is achieved in Korea, it was learned today.
A high Pentagon official said the administration has decided it would be foolhardy to weaken the U.S. military position in the Far East simply because a truce has been signed.
The Defense Department previously had believed the Korean truce would make it possible to trim the Army's strength by 0,000 men, and thus reduce calls from the current level of 23,000 a month to about 19,000 a month starting in November.
But the Pentagon officials announced, will be 23,000 men.
He said draft calls will remain at that level, barring an incursion in enlistments, unless or unless appears that "a firm agreement has been reached with the munists at the forthcoming K-Political Conference.
The 50,000 cut in Army strength would have been in addition to reduction of 100,000 men placed as an economy move before Korean truce was signed.

McCarthy Seeks File On Alleged Reds
NEW YORK (UP)—Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy said today he would ask Defense Secretary Charles E. Wilson for an explanation by tomorrow if he does not receive personnel files on three alleged Communists employed by the government.
The Wisconsin Republican said he wants the files in connection with closed hearings of his investigating Subcommittee here. He said the hearings already had uncovered one Signal Corps security guard who was pro-Communist. The guard has been suspended on charges of Communist leanings.
McCarthy said he has asked for police protection for the witness who testified that the security guard was "100 per cent in sympathy with Communism."
