Noted Pulitzer Prize Winner Of 1943 Due to Return Home From Prison Camp in Korea (By The Associated Press) Ol Pappy Noel may be coming home from the wars. A communist newman said at Panmunjom Tuesday the 52-year-old AP photographer was on the rear list of prisoners. Pappy, formally known as Frank, was captured by Chinese reds near the Chongjin Reservoir in northeast Korea Dec. 2, 1950. Reports trickled out of red territory from time to time that the Pulitzer Prize winner of 1943 was well. Noel was captured, a colleague said, because "his heart was too big." He was supposed to have gone back to Tokyo for a rest. But Noel said, "Ol Pappy is going to stay here I feel better with the kids up at the front." Pappy was with the U.S. First Marine Division when the Chinese communists entered the Korean war. He was right there when the reds swooped down from the north and the Marines withdrew to the Hungnam beachhead. He was with a convoy of Ma-rines trying to reach an isolated regiment when the communists pulled an ambush. First reports were sketchy, but they indicated Pappy was not hurt. Two Marines who were with him but later escaped said "he just sat and knelt in the frozen ditch beside the road and snapped pictures whenever he could. Frank Noel would make one hell of a Marine." Nearly six months later 19 American prisoners escaped from the reds. They said they had seen Noel two months before, and that he was all right. He walked with a slight limp, they said. The reds had marched him 60 miles in freezing weather. When his feet nearly froze, he was allowed to finish the trip in an oxcart. On July 18 a Chinese newspaperman at Kaesong, original site of the cease-fire talks, said he had seen Noel two months previously. He said he was well and healthy in a prison camp "somewhere in Korea." Noel's wife, Evelyn, is at Al-B-29 Attempting Landing Smacks Home; Four Dead SHREVEPORT, La. (AP) — B-29 superfortress bomber, gliding in for a landing, smashed through a one-story residence and crashed late last night. Four of its 13 crewmembers were killed. Eight airmen were injured three seriously, and another missing, officials at Barksdale Air Force Base reported. Witnesses said the cripple craft dipped crazily to the ground broke off an engine, then skidded 200 yards across U., S. Highway 80 and burst into flame. Mr. and Mrs. W. C. McDaniel were asleep at 11:18 pm. (CST) when their new home was torn from its foundation. They escaped with minor injuries and shock. The bomber's pilot had just radioed the Barksdale Air Force tower for landing instructions and was on his final approach with wheels down when the plane struck the house. At Travis Air Force Base, Calif., a spokesman said the plane landed at Travis Sunday after a flight from Guam and that a ferry crew took over for the flight to Barksdale. bany, N.Y.

Assistant District Attorney Jerome Kidder asked for the address of "John Cronin" yesterday at the trial of Mrs. Evyleen R. Cronin 59 and mattonly, charged with forgery and larceny. Mrs. Cronin, Miss Bankhead's former employee, is accused in a 32-count indictment of raising the actress's checks a total of $4284. The trial in General Sessions Court moved into its seventh court day today with Miss Bankhead still waiting for a cue to take the witness stand. Kidder made his request for the address of "Cronin" after Judge Harold A. Stevens excused the jury late yesterday. The judge directed William E. Clancy, a defense attorney, to give the address to the prosecutor. It was understood that Kidder was given a Brooklyn address. The assistant district attorney declined to identify the man. Defense counsel also refused to discuss him. Oil from Submerged Lands Off California Pumping Over Million Dollars WASHINGTON — Oil from the disputed submerged lands off California, Louisiana and Texas is pumping more than one million dollars a month—which used to go to the states—into the Federal Treasury. The revenue is in the form of royalties, rentals and bonuses paid by companies operating for the most part under leases originally issued by the states. The Supreme Court ruled June 23, 1947, in the case of California, and June 5, 1950, in the case of the Gulf of Mexico states, that the federal government had paramount rights and full dominion over the marginal sea from the low tide line seaward to the edge of the Continental shelf. The court held that the federal privilege included the power to control production of oil and gas from those submerged lands. Since the ruling, no new leases have been granted by the states and the federal government similarly has refrained from issuing new leases except in a few minor instances where new wells were found to be needed in order to conserve the national interest. Mastin G. White, Interior department solicitor, told a reporter today that: (1) Since Dec. 11, 1950, the Seclary from waters off Louisiana. (2) Since Oct. 1, 1950, California has collected and turned over to the Secretary of the Interior, for holding in another special fund, $10,258,527 in submerged oil land revenues. (3) Between June 23, 1947, and Sept. 30, 1950, California impounded $28,288,580 in similar revenues, to be held in trust like the collection by the federal government. Louisiana and Texas have been asked to account for their receipts between June 4, 1950, the date of the Supreme Court decision, and Dec. 11, 1950, when the court enjoined the states and lease-holding companies from operating in the submerged areas without permission of the United States. The states have not yet reported. In the case of California, the Supreme Court has been asked to rule as to whether great bodies of water are part of the marginal sea or part of the state-owned inland waters. These include San Pedro bay, which the federal government says is not a true bay but part of the marginal sea, and Santa Barbara channel and San Pedro channel. The California submerged lands produced 1,345,946 barrels of oil during September. This does not include production from that part. Since the ruling, no new leases have been granted by the states and the federal government similarly has refrained from issuing new leases except in a few minor instances where new wells were found to be needed in order to conserve the national interest. Mastin G. White, Interior department solicitor, told a reporter today that: (1) Since Dec. 11, 1950, the Secretary of the Interior has collected and placed in a special fund in the U.S. Treasury $7,756,403 in Gulf of Mexico oil revenues. The California submerged lands produced 1,345,946 barrels of oil during September. This does not include production from that part of San Pedro bay, known as Long Beach harbor, which the federal government has conceded is inland water. Dairymen Contend High Cost of Feed Has Taken Hike Of August Rise from Them SACRAMENTO (AP)—California dairymen contend the increasing cost of feed has already eaten up the penny a quart hike in the price of milk ordered in most of the state last August. The State Bureau of Milk Control is holding hearings to give them a chance to prove that another price rise is needed if California is to avoid a milk shortage. Seven hearings were called for early in January by the Milk Control Bureau yesterday. Three others had previously been announced, the first of which is today in Tulare. The bureau is required to set minimum milk prices in the various milk marketing areas of the state. Most, but not all, of the state is in a marketing area. Parts of Fresno county, for example, are not in the Fresno marketing area or any other. The minimum price set by the bureau becomes in practice the actual price of milk. The 10 scheduled hearings cover all but one of the milk marketing areas. The exception is Humboldt-Del Norte, where an automatic pricing formula is in effect. In petitioning for the hearings, organized milk producers said a shortage of milk is a possibility throughout the state and that unless they receive price relief, the shorage may become serious. In central and northern California, they said, the price of alfalfa has gone up $8 a ton, the equivalent of almost one cent a quart of fluid milk since the last milk price increase was okayed. The schedule for the newly-called hearings: - Oakland, Jan. 3 — covering San Francisco, Alameda-Contra Costa, Marin, Mandocino Lake, Monteverde-Santa Cruz, Napa-Sonoma, San Mateo, Santa Clara and Solano marketing areas. - El Centro, Jan. 5 — Imperial marketing area. - The Tulare hearing today covers the Tulare county marketing area. There will be a hearing in Bakersfield tomorrow for the Kern county marketing area and in Los Angeles Thursday for the Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino-Riverside, San Diego, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara and Ventura areas.
