UN to Protest Sending Chinese Back to Reds PANMUNJOM, Korea UP — The United Nations announced today it will protect a decision of the Neutral Nations Repatriation Commission to send a chair-swinging Chinese war prisoner back to Communism. The prisoner will be one of three Chinese and North Korean war prisoners to be handed over to the Communists here tonight. The repatriation will bring to 158 the number of Chinese and North Koreans who have decided to return to Communism of the 22,500 anti-Communist prisoners held by the Allies. Intense Grilling The Chinese who changed his mind today did so after an intensive 45-minute grilling by Polish and Czech members of the commission, who ended a three-day boycott of the commission's activities. The commission then announced that the Chinese, who tried to hit a Communist propagandist with a chair last Saturday during a "come home to Communism" interview, now wanted to go home. A U. N. Command spokesman said the Allies objected to the repatriation of the Chinese because the five-nation neutral commission failed to inform the U. N. the man would be heard. Protest Treatment In the near riot last Saturday, in which all but nine of 440 Chinese noisily refused to return to Communism, the chair-swinging prisoner was questioned by Red persuaders for three hours. At that time Brig. Gen. A. L. Hamblen, chief of the U. N. repatriation group, protested the treatment of the Chinese as "cruel and inhuman." The new U. N. protest was being considered on the ground that no Allied interpreter was present at the parade into the stadium evening of Oct. 31. Agreement Halts Wayne Court Row LOS ANGELES (UP) — Mrs. John Wayne's spicy testimony about the alleged amours and alcoholic affairs of her he-man husband was stopped by a sudden property agreement today, but Wayne insisted he'll hang out more "dirty linen" himself. Mrs. Esperanza Wayne strung out her version of the family laundry for two days in a separate maintenance hearing during which she accused the movie profile of beating her while drunk, spending the night at the home of actress Gall Russell and being bitten on the neck by a strip tease dancer. But late yesterday the wash was quickly hauled in. After an unscheduled huddle among attorneys, the Waynes and Judge Allen Ashburn, an "oral agreement" was reached on the ex-acress' demands for $9000 a month. The judge called a week's recess to attorneys could draw up a written agreement and Wayne could prepare answers to her charges. The sudden settlement of the bitter fight doesn't mean Gall Russell and being bitten on the neck by a strip tease dancer. But late yesterday the wash was quickly hauled in. After an unscheduled huddle among attorneys, the Waynes and Judge Allen Ashburn, an "oral agreement" was reached on the ex-actress' demands for $0000 a month. The judge called a week's recess to attorneys could draw up a written agreement and Wayne could prepare answers to her charges. The sudden settlement of the bitter money fight doesn't mean Wayne "is lying down on this thing," his attorney, Frank Belcher, said. "When court resumes Wednesday he will go ahead with his divorce suit," the lawyer said. "He will deny he struck her and he will explain that Russell thing. We will prove our case for divorce." But Mrs. Wayne, $1, smiled broadly when the judge reconvened the court late yesterday to announce "the property settlement has been adjusted substantially." Belcher said both sides "agreed not to reveal the financial details." Jerome B. Rosenthal, her attorney, said Wayne's offer and Chata's demand "are a little closer together." And Wayne's business manager, Bo Roos, insisted "Wayne didn't back down a bit." Whether any supporting players will be added to the cast of the lively hearing was undecided by the lawyer "producers" of the courtroom drama. Rosenthal said he did not know Miss Russell would be called. In his divorce suit, Wayne 46, had charged his estranged wife of having playboy Nicky Hilton as a week's houseguest. But Belcher said it would not be necessary to call Hilton into court because "Mrs. Wayne already has admitted he was at her home." Esperanza has explained Hilton stayed at her home while recovering from an auto accident; because the heir to hotel millions was "homeless."

Jones while Jose was attempting to protest Treatment In the near riot last Saturday, in which all but nine of 440 Chinese noisy refused to return to Communism, the chair-swing prisoner was questioned by Red persuaders for three hours. At that time Brig. Gen. A. L. Hamblen, chief of the U.N. repatriation group, protested the treatment of the Chinese as "oruel and inhuman." The new U.N. protest was being considered on the groud that no Allied interpreter was present at the session to verify the prisoner's statement that he wanted to go back to Red China. While the U.N. was preparing its complaint, Lt. Gen. K. S. Thimayya, chairman of the neutral commission, lodged a "strong protest" with the allies because a U.N. interpreter swore at a Polish officer during the Saturday incident. Thimayya said the Pole had been "grossly insulted."

New Trick, Treat Plan Proposed "It's a neat trick, and a treat to collect!" A brand new idea to supplement the age-old trick-or-treat so familiar with millions of American children, has been suggested by local organizations. The plan, proposed by the American Friends Service Committee and the Junior Red Cross, calls for the collection of many household articles and clothing for shipment to the needy of Eruope and Asia. Rather than asking for candy and gifts as they go from house to house in their block, children up to the sixth grade are requested to ask for educational items, health items, health and comfort articles, used clothing and toys for both boys and girls. The plan has been approved by the Elementary School System of Anaheim as well as the sponsoring groups. All donations collected by children will be packaged and shipped by the two sponsoring organizations. All contributions are to be taken to the local elementary schools on Monday following Hallowe'en, it was announced.
