Latest Prospects At Pan
Pan Mun Jom
Tokyo, Jan. 7.
Communist truce negotiators, believed to be armed with new orders from Red policy-makers, promised to shed more light on plans for the ex- change of war prisoners today.
For the first time lately, the Reds seemed to be sincerely interested in Allied arguments and asked intelligent questions, Rear-Admiral R. E. Libby reported.
The sub-committee on war prisoners reported no progress in the Pan Mun Jom talks on Sunday, but the delegates left off ugly name-calling of recent days and the gloom eased slightly.

Communist Guerillas Not A Menace
GENERAL VAN FLEET'S
ASSESSMENT
Somewhere in Korea, Jan. 6.
General James A. Van Fleet said today that by-passed Communist guerillas in Southwest Korea are not strong enough to threaten any armistice agreement made at Pan Mun Jom,
"They (the Communists) don't have much to build on here in the south," the Eighth Army Com- mander told reporters.
Gen. Van Fleet said "any Communist move- ment during an armistice will be suppressed."
"They are people who would rather lead that kind of life, live in the hills rather than surrender," he said. "They were a little more than the police could handle, so the ROK Army had to step in."
Gen. Van Fleet flew here from Seoul today to help President Syngman Rhee of South Korea dedicate the new Korean Army training centre. The centre, ont of the general's favourite pro- jects, can handle 14,000 soldiers and has schools for teaching in- fantry, artillery and tank war-
fare.
"We shall expect to train here many thousands so that your army will continue to improve," Gen. Van Fleet told several

Why we say Clothes- horse.
The clothes-horse is a wooden frame on which clothes are hung to dry before the fire in winter. But why "horse”? The word does not always mean an animal. It is used by sailors, miners, engineers, printers, acrobats
and leather- curriers in various ways
to
describe something that supports. Hence a clothes "horse" is some- thing on which clothes are supported.
