Vlidow "Dead" Six Days Ago. Now Recovering

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 14 (AP) -- Fla-bbergasted doctors today predicted the complete recovery of Theresa Butler. 60-year-old widow pronounced dead and sent. to the morgue six days ago.

Mrs. Butler abruptly came out of a five-day coma yes- terday. talked coherently and recognized her daughter and Dr. .l.C. Geiger, city public health director.

"From all medical informa- tion now possible. Mrs. Butler will probably fully recover." Geiger said. . ,

Last Thursday a doctor pro- nounced Mrs. Butler dead, presumaibly from an overdose of sleeping pills. But a-t the morgue a startled attendant heard a. gasp and saw her ja-w twitch.

Until yesterday doctor; had feared Mrs. Butler's brain would be damaged from being without oxygen while she ap- peared to be lifeles.

When pronounced dead. she had no perceptible reflex- es. blood pressure. breathing or heartbeat-basic symptoms of death.

France Slashes Dollar Spending

PARIS. Nov. 14 - (AP)--France slashed her dollar spending pro- gram for the 195i-52 fiscal year by 40 per cent in an economy move today. This means she will buy leasfrom the Western hemisphere.

Following Britain's example. Finance Minister Rene Mayer told the cabinet that France would spend only about s5oo.ooo.oou for imports in the period ending next June 80.

A week ago, R.A. Butler, Chan- cellor of the Exchequer, announ- ced Britain's new Conservative Government would cut all imports by about 10 per cent. saving that country the equivalent of nearly 3l.000,000.D00.

The high cost. of rearmlrlg is the main reason for both cuts - and others which European economists are sure will come elsewhere on the continent.

TOLEDO. Ont... Nov 13 -(CP)- Parents In this community 20 miles north of Brockvllle. who took their children out cf school last Flrlday in protest of allegedly un- sanitary conditions in the build- ing, told a special school board meeting last night that the child- ren will be kept away until the situation is corrected. The board was told that every child in Toledo, which has some zoo res- idents. is infected with lice.

Peiping Also In Truculenl Broadcast

By WILLIAM JOIIDEN MUNSAN, Korea, Nov. 15 (Thursday) - (AP) - A Moscow- trained Chinese truce negotiator Wednesday virtually dared the United Nations to break off the Korean armistice talks and try to change the front lines by force of arms - if they could.

The challenge came from Maj.- Gen. Hsleh Fang. Chinese Red sub-committee chairman and for mer military attache it prompted no immediate reply.

The Red Peiping radio. in a truculent broadcast today. declared that if the talks break down ”we are prepared" to smash United Nations attacks. It urged the Chi- ncse people to tighten their belts and strengthen their campaign in Korea "until the enemy is willing Y.) accept peace."

The broadcast accused Vice Ad- miral C. Turner Joy. chief U. N. negotiator for special attack, of trying to "wreck finally the whole armistice negotiations."

Nevertheless. joint sub-commit- tee talks at Panmuntom were scheduled to resume at 11 A. M. to- day (O.'P.M. E.B.T. Wednesdayt

Charge Chinese With Acts Of Barbarism Unique Even For Reds

By Bill Shlnn

PUSAN. Korea, Nov. it -(APl- The United States Eighth Army to. day charged the Communists, in acts of "barbarlsnl unique even in the Communist world," have kil- led about 5,500 American and 290 other Allied prisoners of war.

That grim record. compiled since the outbreak of the Korean wa.r, did not include South Kor- ean soldiers, for whom exact cas- ualty figures are difficult to ob- tain. But the army indicated ap- proximately i.l,0()o of them were killed.

as for civilians, the army cited estimates of 260.000 Korean non- combatants slain ill atrocities.

"The exact figure will never be known." the army added.

The figures were announced at a press conference by Col. James M. Henley, chief of the Eighth Army's Judge advocate section. He issued a. formal statement and then apl- plifled It. .

Chinese Clalml False

"The Chinese forces in Korea have committed most of the Com- munist atrocity killings. of U. N. prisoners of war since the entry of Red China into the conflict late last year." I-ianley said.

"This is in sharp conflict with the Chinese claim of compliance with the Geneva convention for the treatment of war prlsoners.'

I-lanley said Eight Army records showed the Chinese had killed 2.513 American prisoners, 10 Brit-

Transport Minister Chevrler. steering his bill through the com- ; mittee set up specially to deal ., with it, took issue with the Mari- c time witnesses in a running inter- rogation through the 2',-'.--hour ses- slon.

At one poillt, he said he thinks the Maritimes and Newfoundland are ”fully protected" under the legislation.

sulate

counsel for the government The commission speaks on freight rates for the four governments and the boards of trade in the Marltimes arid Newfoundland.

n In a. brief. they told --the.-dorm mlttee that the proposed equaliza- Wtion -- outlining a broad policy of .0 equal rates nationally for the same rail service with some exceptions would damage the Maritime economy.

The uniform rate plan, the brief said. would "completely ignore" the various important conditions . that apply to the Maritime (rate) sbructure. and on which many Maritime industries have been developed.

A plan submitted to the Board of Transport Commissioners in line with the anticipated legisla- tion indicated the approximate doubling of some "class" rate for the haulage of goods between the Maritimes and other parts of Can- ads.

Chief Opposition

Chief Maritlmes - Newfoundland opposition to the equalization plan was based on the argument that it would destroy the long-standing system of "arbltraries" and "rate groupings" used to haul much traf- fic into and,out of the Marltimes at low rates. Under the group sys- tem. it big block of territory - on some hauls almost the whole Mar- ltlmes - gets the same rate for the whole area. The "arbitraries" are sub-normal rates, so called be- cause they have no relation to mileage hauled.

Mr. Matheson gave an example to show that. on some freight mov- ing from Halifax to Toronto. the normal change between Montreal and Toronto would be 31.34 now, while the "arbitrary" on the much lcnger haul between Halifax and Montreal would be only 35 cents.
