"Sacrament". The pre PANMUNJOM (AP) -- A high source said tonight the Indian com- mand is considering a new plan to solve the critical problem of eating war prisoners that has left the Indians in a blazing cross- fire between Allies and Reds. The source, whose name and na- tionality cannot be disclosed, said the formula is designed to by-pass the issue of whether the Neutral Nations Repatriation Commission will free some 22,500 prisoners at midnight Jan. 22. The allies have demanded re- lease of the PoWs; the Reds have demanded they be held. It isc considered probable that if the commission doesn't approve the release, anti-Red Koreans and Chinese will smash their way out of their neutral zone compounds. The Indian proposal would throw the problem back to the Allies and he, Reds themselves, the source said. The source said the Indian plan is to turn the anti-Red prisoners back to the Allied side and the pro- India Considers New Plan To Solve Korea PoW Issue Red prisoners back to the Com- munists.

Thimayya, Indian chairman of the NNRC, will stipulate that should either side release its prisoners the commission would be in no way to blame. The source said the Swedish and Swiss delegates on the NNRC would vote with him. outnumbering the Communist' Czechs and Poles. Earlier the commission took up the issue of what to do with -the PoWs. At a 20-minute session, Maj.- Gen. Jan Svenstrom, the Swedish delegate, proposed that the com- mission back the Allied demand that the prisoners be released on Jan, 23.

Gives Magistrate Lesson On Dice TORONTO (CP) -- Dominic Si- mone, 39, of Toronto, who admits to being a gambler but an "honest" one, gave a demonstration of the finer points of a dice game in magistrate's court Friday but was convicted just the same, He was given three months in jail on a charge of keeping a gaming house. Simone was arrested Dec. 15 to- gether with 127 others when police raided what they called a gambling "castle" in suburban North York. The "castle," lice said, was fitted with steel doors, an electric alarm system and an eight-foot fence. : Police said Simone was found with $1,217 in one pocket and a pair of crooked dice tucked in his sock. Admitting his guilt but denying ish ty, the gambl spent more than an hour giving Magis- trate O. S. Hollingrake a lesson in dice-throwing. He used his lawyer's drinking glass as a throwing cup and the court clerk's desk as a table. When told by Simone's lawyer that gambling was a "disease" with the accused, the magistrate replied: '"'That"s the very reason there's a law against gambling." Arleigh Armstrong, crown. coun- sel, said Simone had been charged twice before with keeping a com- mon gaming house. with Mr. and Mrs. F. Stainton at Bowmanville.

His Souliy has only 800,000 inhabi- ants. At 47 Figueres already has taken on the giant United Fruit Co. in negotiations to revise the firm's concession in Costa Rica. Don Pepe wants a 50-50 split in the Costa Rican profits. But, he says, talks are being handled in a way to demonstrate his country's 'sense of responsibility, " "We don't want to give the Rus- sians any propaganda weapons," Both Conservatives, Reds Blast New President Don Pepe said in an interview. He made clear he didn't believe ex- propriation was any way to settle roblems. ICKED OUT COMMUNISTS Leader of a revolution in 1948 which kicked organized commun- ism out of Costa Rica, Figueres has been blasted by the Reds from one side and by Latin American conservatives from the other. Figueres doesn't think that for- eign capital, permanently settled, is good for underdeveloped nations, Often it is a drain on a small nae tion, he believes. Aid can come by loans and tem- porary investments, he contends, but the loans should be repaid, the temporary investments liquid- ated on equitable terms, and the "permanent" type of investments Tepatrjsted under agreements sat- isfactory to both sides. © GREENBANK GREENBANK -- Misses Olive! and Dorothy Real of Toronto were with their sister Mr. and Mrs. Ry- | erson Beare over the New Year holiday.

KEPT UNDER WRAPS American authorities ap- proached Ritchie after he served a month in jail here for petty theft. They kept him under wraps as a mysterious witness but his escape brought his identity to light. He was traced to Windsor by in- vestigators and on to Chatham where he bought a car and the trail was lost. Police traced dozens _ of tips during the week-end and ¢ watched the home of Ritchie's mother and his girl friend Betty White 27. Police described Ritchie as a floater and small-time thief. He gave Detroit police a signed state- ® ment that he took part in the Reuther shooting. Police said he is a key witness and their case against the other men may col- lapse unless he is found. Windsor police officials = pooh- poohed the idea that Ritchie had anything to do with the crime. He has been known to come to police with wild stories of being robbed.
