CLAIM 16 (Continued from Page 1) dispute over the exchange of war prisoners was building up today. The Communists accused the Al- lies of holding back captives and the UN command drafted a de- mand for the return of Allied PoWs it asserts are still in Red hands. While Peiping radio claimed the UN command withheld 357 Chinese and Koreans from repatriation, Gen. Mark Clark's headquarters orked over a list of Allies believed tin Red captivity. The names were .collected from 'interviews with returned prisoners, from Communist broadcasts and Ifsts from letters written by cap- tives. The UN list, after careful re- checking, will be handed to the Communists with the demand that the Reds either return or account for the missing men, Still listed as missing are 15 Ca- nadian Army men and one RCAF fliem. The list was to have been given to the Reds Monday, but was de- layed pending further careful checks. was nil, while the jands of Oshawa pupils into prim- |ary school. -After two glorious | months of comparative freedom, |going back to the old grind left {them apparently numb.

Brought into a room full of other children in starched shirts and new dresses, they sat quietly while parents fill- ed out registration forms. For the sake of this story we would have liked to add that they cried, knocked over chairs, pulled the girls' hair and generally caus- ed a ruckus.

This, we think, could happen only in not merely loves its horses, but breeds some magnificent animals, and in fact, owns one in the person of Tulyar. For Tulyar is the nation's horse. A few months ago, the Irish Parliament, or Dail, approved the expenditure of $700,000 for the purchase of a stallion name Tulyar from the fabulous Indian sportsman, the Aga Khan, Tulyar is reputed to be the horse of the century. He was undefeated as & three-year-old in the British Isles, where a.racer has to run more than six furlongs and with as much as 150 pounds on his back. The purchase of Tulyar didn't pass the Dail without an argument. After all, it hap d in Irel The Conservative members of Parliament contended $700,000 was a "luxury price," for an animal in a country facing an economic crisis. But the more liberal members won their point, 60 to 23, that Tulyar was a good investment in the national horse breeding industry. So Tulyar became a property of the government.

The Irish are individualistic, if any race is, and they see nothing inconsistent in nationalizing the noble horse. : . Image the consternation on Ottawa's Parliament Hill if some sporting member advocated the purchase of Native Dancer for a million or so, for the purpose of improving the breed of racing animals in Canada. But, of course, race- horses don't mean so much to Canada as they do in Ireland. In Ireland, the horse is big business. Export of horses is to Ireland almost what General Motors is to the United States or the gold, silver, lead and zinc products to Canada. Tulyar, the people's horse, will bring many a pound into Ireland. Not so many as the Irish sweepstakes net, of course, but quite a tidy sum, you may be sure. . An American syndicate headed by Jack Dempsey, Los Angeles insurance man (not the ex-pugilist) bid more than a million for Tulyar. The Meslem Aga Khan may have felt in conscience that the steed belonged to Ireland and took a cut in price. The Aga Khan was criticized in Londen for allowing Noor to get away from him. Hence be was sensitive about Tulyar. Noor was Irish-bred, and beat Citation every time out. Tulyar is hel to be an Irish horse, be- came he was trained on the emerald green grass of the Ould Sod for his English victories.
