Charges Stevenson Favors Appeasement Republican Rally Is Opened In Chicago CHICAGO, UP — Republican offered today to make foreign policy a 1954 campaign issue with a charge that Democrats would take an "appeasement” line on Communism. "appeasement” charge was hurled by Sen. Homer Ferguson' of Michigan, keynote speaker at a meeting billed as the GOP response to a Democratic conclave here earlier this week which kicked off next year’s congressional campaign. , Ferguson, filling in for GOP national chairman Leonard W. Halt, who is ill, said Adiai E. Stevenson advocated "softness” toward Communism in a speech at the close of the Democratic meeting in which he urged a new try at peace and disarmament with Russia. f In addition to Ferguson and two cabinet members — postmaster generar Arthur E. Summerfield and interior secretary Douglas McKay — Republicans held a faint hope that President Eisenhower will drop into their meeting of more r than 1,000 women from 18 midwestern and southern states.

WZzazn Oasis Relates Imprisonment By Czechs

. (Editor’s note: William N. Oatis, Associated Press correspondent who was imprisoned two years Jn Czechoslovakia, has written a copyrighted j series of articles on his im- • prisonment. The United Press j has prepared a series of five articles. Oatis is a native of Marion, Ind.) NEW YORK, Sept 18 UP — William N. Oatis, Associated Press correspondent who spent more than two years in a Communist prison, said today he passed the long days reading, singing and playing games with cellmates. Oatis, in a series of dispatches copyrighted by AP, said he was alone only for about three months in Ruzyne prison, on the outskirts of Prague. He 'had a succession of seven cellmates —two Czechs, two Mora-\ vians, a Slovak, a Sovakian Jaw and an Austrian, ranging in age from the 20’s to the 60*s. They included two mechanical, engineers, a clerk, a priest, a policeman, an army officer and a politician. Food Not Too Bad Reveille was soundbd at 5:30 a.m., and taps at about 9:30 p.m., he said. All prisoners were given three meals a day, and the skinnier ones, such as himself, -®lso got mid-morning and mid-after-noon sandwiches. Oatis said the food was serveA< in the cells in small double-boil-ers. Liquids were below and solids above. "The food was not elegant, but it was usually tasty and filling,” he said. Breakfast always consisted of coarse rye bread and a coffee substitute, he wrote. Lunch included soup, which usually was excellent; mashed potatoes and gravy and vegetables or dumplings and gravy. Supper often consisted of porice or a barley concoction many prisoners flushed down the toilet. Books Received Once or twice a week, the prisoners were given pieces of canned meat, "parts of the animal that his Denver vacation. He plans to send a greeting to the gathering. Some Republicans urged that he a personal appearance and snow' under the headlines the Democrats got out of their twbday meeting. Ferguson based his “appeasement charge against Stevenson on the fact that the ,1952 Democratic presidential candidate described the conference room as "the door of peace” and advocated talks with Russia “when we can” and “where we can.” “Governor Stevenson in. effect is urging us to meet at every'Opportunity whether it be on the Communists’ terms or our own,” Ferguson protested. "This shows such * a vast misunderstanding, such a lack of comprehension of the nature of Communism, that it is almost unbelievable.” He said the former Illinois governor was advocating “the old softness toward Communispa” which marked past Democratic administrations.

should have been thrown away.” On Sundays and holidays they got slices of meat, and, once in a while, fresh lettuce, sprinkled with sand, he said. Oatis that he and his cellmates taught one another their native languages and sang songs in several language?. They played questions and answers and made a chess board on toilet paper. The chess men were kneaded out of hard rye bread, he said, and "his priest-companion colored one set of chessmen' with toothpaste. Czech and Slovak propaganda books were provided, Oatis said, and he received three parcels of books in English from his wife, the U. S. embassy and AP. In January, 1952, he began writing songs on toilet paper. He said he composed more than 400 songs, three revues and numerous skits, but “don’t look for any\of these at your music store.” ' Finally Freed A prison officer' sold cigarets, candy, cookies and fruit once a week, he said, and clean underwear was provided periodically. The tan burlap uniforms were replaced oqly when they began to look dirty or worn. Shower baths were, provided, and Oatis said he had numerous cavities in his teeth filled by the prison dentist. He was placed in *the prison hospital, he said, with what was diagnosed as tuberculosis. On five occasions, Oatis continued, he made the automobile trip to Prague and “eagerly drank in” everything he saw. Once he went to town to testify at an espionage trial. He was takeh to see the U. S. ambassador once and to see the American chaise d’affaires twice. Another time, he was taken to a hospital for a physical examination, he said. ; Shortly before midnight, May 15, 1953, Oatis wrote, a guard awakened him and a secret police officer informed him he was being released. Less than six hours later, an American embassy car carried him out of Czechoslovakia. . Keep Anxious Vigil Over Siamese Twins Decline Comment Now On Operation NEW ORLEANS UP —Physicians kept an anxious vigil today over Siamese twin girls separated by an unprecedented operation here and declined comment until later about their surgical miler stone. Famed Ochsner Foundation Hospital reported that both the three-month-old Mouton twins, now in separate cribs, were “doing. well” after being severed at the lower spine Thursday. A spokesman said there may be a statement Saturday morning of scientific details of this “first operation of its kind in medical history" and what new hope it may offer in future cases. The operation was pronounced a “complete success” but doctors and nurses kept an around-the-clock watch over eight - weeks -old Carolyn Anne and Catherine Anne Mouton to guard against complications. If both girls live it would be the first time in history that an operation to separate Siamese twins has not brought death at least to one, as in the case of the famed Brodie twins whose skulls were joined, j The Mouton twins, daughters of Mayor and Mrs. Ashton Mouton, of Lafayette', La., | were joined at the sacral bone ot the lower spine and also had the same lower intestinal

National Plowing Matches Underway Secretary Benson To Speak Saturday , AUGUSTA. Wis. UP — Thousands of visitors jammed this western Wisconsin community today to watch one of American farming’s biggest events —the national plowing matches. While the national competition, and the major farm policy speech by agriculture secretary Ezra Taft Benson isn’t scheduled until Saturday, up to 40,000 persons were expected for today’s state\ matches. Farmers will compete in two kinds of plowing competition, with the winders to be matched against experts from Wisconsin, Missouri, Pennsylvania, Oklahoma, Nebraska. Minnesota. lowa, Illinois, Ohio and New York. After the national finals Saturday. secretary Benson will deliver what he has called “one of the most important speeches I never made.” His audience is expected to reach 75,009 and officials are making preparations for as many as 100,000 persons. The plowing matches get nearly as much attention from politicians as from farmers. Last year, both President Eisenhower and Adiai Stevenson took the stump at the Kasson, Minn., matches to outline their farm policies. Before the 1948 election, former President Truman made what was latter interpreted as a successful bid for a large bloc of the farm vote. • Benson's speech is being linked with Republican farm state chances in the 1954. congressional elections. tracf. They required an entirely different type of operation. , A group of doctors reported in the journal of the American medical association today that two-year-old ; Rodney Dee Brodie, the surviving twin, has made encouraging progress since the Brodie operation. \ The other twin, Roger Brodie, died after they were separated.
