Red Hints Reprisal for POW Slayings
MUNSAN Korea May 30 AP The Communists chief truce negotiator called the killing of a Red war prisoner on Koje Island an atrocity and hinted at reprisals against Allied prisoners in North Korea. Nam Il warned the Allies to protect war prisoners and warned of consequences. Seven Red POWs were killed and 16 injured in new disturbances yesterday and today, likely hardening stalled talks. Maj Gen William K Harrison Jr said Nam's responses were hysterical but fair in screenings of internees. A Communist correspondent warned of renewed red threats amid the talks.

Farm-in-Day Showcases Columbia Basin Irrigation Effort
At Moses Lake Washington a desert plot was transformed into a seven room house and 10 acres of cultivated land in under 23 hours to illustrate how modern engineering can turn sagebrush into a functioning farm. The event marked the Columbia Basin project’s first irrigation water delivery this spring. Volunteer workers spent 221 hours on the project. Reclamation Commissioner Michael Straus called irrigation water “Water that free men had harnessed to keep them free and sure their future.” Donald Dunn, a 30 year old Marion Kansas farmer flooded from his own farm last summer, received the house tax free. he and his wife stayed the night with two daughters cared for by friends. Dunn, a World War II veteran, was chosen by the Veterans of Foreign Wars as the most worthy recipient of the $75,000 farm fully stocked with livestock and equipment.
