Nichols said he planned to confer with Sheriff Wilbur Hil-dreth later Thursday about moving the two to the crowded Polk County Jail but if that isn't possible they may be moved to a state institution.

The usual procedure after arraignment in Municipal Court, is for persons being held without bond, as are Williams and Niccum, to be transferred to the County Jail. Hildreth was unable to provide isolated cells for Williams and Niccum earlier this week, and the County Jail still had 115 prisoners Thursday.

Lloyd Bucher, said that threats to kffl his crewmen one by one prompted his false confession to violation of North Korean waters. It's tragic to contemplate that Bucher's anguish in responding to that threat could have been reduced to routine if the proposal of a retired U.S.

admiral had been adopted. Adm. Tom Gallery proposed after the Korean War that in conflicts with Communist nations, the President of- the United States issue a directive to all U.S. military personnel, authorizing them, if captured, to confess to anything demanded of them by their captors. Under the Gallery proposal, the President would announce to the free world that he had issued such a directive.

(It wouldn't matter if persons un-der Communist domination were kept in the dark about the directive; the Communists can tell their people anything anyway.) The confession problems of Bucher and his crewmen would have been so simple under such a program. They could have 'signed confessions willynilly and the confessions would have fallen of their own weight. The President could have reminded the free world of the official directive, then stated the truth, that North Korean waters had not been violated. I have talked to many military men about the Gallery proposal and none has found fault with it.

One Iowa officer signed a Korean War germ-war confession only after being held for months in the solitary confinement of a tiny, pitch-dark closet. Yet, after his ultimate release, there are reasons to believe that normal promotions for him were delayed because of his confession.

Now, apparently, there are those itching to pounce on Bucher and his crewmen. The statement of Senator Richard Russell for instance: "Those men are being hailed as heroes. They are heroes in the sense that they survived the imprisonment. But they did sign a great many statements that did not reflect any great heroism in my mind."

Secretary of State Melvln Synhorst said Thursday many state records, including voting records and business corporation records, received a thorough soaking.

Among the records were soaked were the sealed county canvasses of the November vote for governor and lieutenant governor. Synhorst said he could not tell immediately whether these records were damaged. The votes for the governor and lieutenant governor are canvassed by the Legislature just prior to the inauguration of the two office holders Jan. 16. Statehouse workers said the water pipe was in a "vent" that ran to the top of the Statehouse, and the sub-zero cold of the last 48 hours apparently seeped down the vent causing water in the pipe to freeze and break it.

The two vaults in the secretary of state's office, one in the basement and the other on the first floor, are directly below the spot where the pipe broke. Des Moines, where he assaulted her.
