The result was that fund revenues rose only 5 million dollars, from 126 i millions a year ago to 131H million for the year ended June 30.

The resolution on Korea also deplored that "some of our allies and members of the United Nations are still engaged in trade with our enemies," It urged the government to take action against such trade. Dulles told the legionnaires big wars generally are started by mis take, not design. "Aggressive despots think they can make a grab unopposed, or opposed but feebly," Dulles said.

Fourteen such prisoners were returned Thursday, including Sgt Floyd Harrington, Chicago, who got a whopping 15-year sentence for stealing "some secret documents" on informers.

Another sergeant said ht was given a jail sentence at 10 A. M. July 27, the precise hour when the truce was signed. The sergeants said the Reds told them they were "war criminals" who could not expect the "right to repatriation" but most of them felt aj the time that the Reds were bluffing. The of officers coming through reported that most of their officer friends, especially the higher ranks, would be among the last delivered.

Fisher 30, of Bridgeport Conn, noted that the first was unattended, he parked his own vehicle on the shoulder and while awaiting return of the first driver went to sleep. The bus driven by Francis G. Garoff, 26, of Philadelphia, had just completed a long gradual curve before heading into the straight-a-way beside which the trucks were parked. The ICC said that Garoff, who had a good record as a bus operator, apparently became drowsy, dosed off and failed to adjust to the straight highway, gradually leaving the concrete and finally plowing into the parked trucks. The commission said that Garoff, an "extra" driver had had his last sleep some 14 to 15 hours before taking his bus out, although he was off-duty.

The report said he had been notified he would be needed only about three hours before departure time and said that bus companies in general should do something about taking the element of uncertainty out of the assignments for extra drivers.

Ground has been broken for one of a chain of 10 hospitals and two more are to be started with ceremonies Labor Day, next Monday. These hospitals will cost a minimum of 15 million dollars to build, perhaps a maximum of twice that much. Cost of building and maintaining them is bound to be a lur- ther drain on the fund.

He used a cane to keep his slender frame soldierly erect He said: "For an old soldier to say it is a pleasure, to take his review, to address his troops for the last time, and to make this last public appearance as a commander, is in my mind at least a stretch of the imagination and a far cry from the truth."

The soldiers were members of the 406th Engineer Brigade. Names of the victims were withheld until their next-of-kin could be notified.

Rescue squads, ambulances and helicopters rushed to the scene and army medics spent hours futilely trying to revive the men as the bodies were pulled, one by one, from the black waters. A newsman who hurried to the scene said soldiers told him that a metal boat, about 25 feet long and powered by an outboard motor, was carrying 22 men the time the boat capsized in about 10 feet of water about 100 yards from the shore of the lake which covers several acres.
