Howe,ver, Suter did not expect ths downward adjustment in business to be severe, and observed that wholesale prices will- probab- , ly decline about 5 percent below I current levels. Suter cautioned that the business decline could be more ievera than now anticipated. The decline is not expected to be long or severe and likely will be followed by a period of high, busipeps activity and relatively stable or slightly rising prices. For Indiana and U.

Wilson Rules Prisoners To Be Disciplined Defense Secretary Rules On Prisoners Friendly To Reds WASHINGTON, UP — Defense secretary Charles E. Wilson has ruled that American war prison•ers may face disciplinary action if “sympathetic” investigation shows they made false confessions or informed on their buddies too readily. In a statement Thursday night, Wilson ordered a middle course between the army's lenient and the marines’ tough policy toward POWs who succumbed to Communist pressures. Although Americans have sympathy for “those who suffered" at the hands of the Comtnunists, the secretary said “weu. do not as a general principle condone” those who confessed falsely or added to the misery of their fellow prisoners. “Such cases will be carefully knd sympathetically examined by the services concerned.” he declared, to ascertain whether in any of them there has been an unreasonable failure to measure up to the Mldlvtdual conduct wkich in expected even of a prisoner of war or deviations from standards of behavior prescribed by law.” \ Wilson did not explain what wpuld be considered ‘‘unreasonable failure.” Presumably included would be Cases in which POWs cooperated with the Communists to receive favored treatment rather than because they were forced. Wilson emphasized that action taken by the Defense Department will be on an individual basis, will be just and fair and iff line with established facts and evidence and the rules,, regulations and laws in regard to military conduct.” Under the pew Uniform Code of Military Justice a man may be court martialed \for aiding the enemy .to the detriment of fellow prisoners. The maximum punishment is life imprisonment. If you have something to sell or rooms for rent, try a Democrat Want Add. It brings results. Trade in a Good Town — Decatur - """T" 1 * I—T' 1 —T'

The Australian-born unofficial Communist spokesman said there were no more American prisoners being held in North Korea. ."There might be some in Manchuria.” he said. Burchett previously had acknowledged the presence of the filers in Communist camps in Manchuria, but he charged they were not war prisoners and must be bargained for by the IL S. stale department. The Red newsmen said all of the war prisoners had been returned to the Allies: with the exception of the 23 Americans, one Briton and 335 South Koreans who refused repatriation.
