(By VICTOR KENDRICK)

Munsan, Aug. 31. Communist attempts to indoctrinate Ameri- can and Allied prisoners of war have, by and large, been a miserable failure.

This is the most rewarding and reassuring disclosure that has yet come to light as Operation Big Switch, the exchange of prisoners of the Korean war, plods toward its conclusion.

Some of them wavered (turing the long, harrowing months in a Communist stockade. A low fell by the wayside. But, the great bulk came through with flying colours.

"Political Suicide"

Bonn, Aug. 31.

A West German Government spokesman today rejected as completely unreal Social Democratic suggestions that a United Germany bo given a status similar to that of Sweden or Switzerland.

Such a proposal simply failed to recognise Germany's geographical position, he said. "The comparison is just wrong."

The spokesman said the way pointed by the Social Democrats could lead the German people

Especially notable was the way the Negroes, as a group, reacted to the duly political hammering.

How they not only withstood the daily pounding of intensive Communist indoctrination, but fought back and actually managed to win over some prisoners hovering on the brink of Communist conversion, is a story to reward cynical of anti-Communists.
