Cooper Describes Orientation Of Anti-Red POWs in Korea By TAMMIE BLOOM The overall effectiveness of the United Nations orientation pro gram for Chinese and Korean an ti-Communist prisoners of war cannot be completely determined until ten or 15 years have passed, Bernarr Cooper, audio-visual ad viser to the UN, said last night. Cooper, speaking before the Ra dio Guild, described the program of education which was used in Korea to teach democratic meth ods and attitudes to approximate ly 120,000 prisoners of war who refused to return to Communist dominated countries. When the prisoners were turned over to the Indian command after the fighting in Korea stopped, 65 per cent of them said they felt they had benefitted from being prisoners under the United Na tions command, Cooper said. Thir ty-five per cent said they felt their future potential had been increased infinitely beyond what it would have been had there been no war. Prisoners Screened The 150,000 prisoners held by the Unitec. Nations in April, 1952, were carefully screened to deter mine those who were violently anti-Communistic. About 120,000 said they would resist to death be ing returned to the Communist side, Cooper said. Those who held violent anti- Red convictions were housed in 14 separate compounds and sub jected to the education program, he explained. The program strove , to orient the prisoners to democracy by en larging upon the Oriental pattern of family relationship. Cooper said. The men were taught that THE pAItY COLLEGIAN STATE COLLEGE r,ENNSYLVANIA AIM Board Approves Proposals The Association of Independent Men's Board of Governors Wednesday night gave final ap proval to recommendations for amending the AIM constitution. The board put the recommenda tions in- the form of an amend ment and approved them in the first reading of the amendment. The recommendations were pre sented last week by Robert Hard ing, chairman of the AIM re organization committee. Councils Must Approve To be written into the consti tution, the amendment must be approved by a two-thirds major ity at two consecutive meetings of the board. If it is accepted, it must be - voted on by three-fourths of the dorm councils. Harding presented four recom mendations to the board. Three were accepted at last week's meeting. The fourth, dealing with reorganization of the AIM Judi cial Board of Review was accept ed at - vednesday's meeting, after it was amended. Judicial Recommendation The original recommendation called for four board members-at large to be appointed during the spring semester, with four more appointed in the fall, one from each living area. The Board of Governors amend ed the recommendation to read that all eight members of the judicial board will be appointed at large in the spring semester. The chairman of the judicial board will also be appointed in the spring by the president of AIM, with the approval of the Board of Governors. Other mem bers will be appointed by the president of the judicial board. The amendment also states that the judicial board president shall be a sixth semester student at the time of his appointment. Other Recommendations The other three recommenda tions, approved last week, pro vide for: 1. Compensation for AIM of ficers. The president shall be corn pensated to the amount of $lOO and any expenses deemed neces sary by. the Board of Governors. The vice president will receive $25 and the secretary and treas urer $5O each. Compensations will go into effect next fall and will be for one year. 2. Enlargement of the executive through their responsibility to the family they were also responsi ble to the community, to the na tion, and to other nations, he said. Under the program, Cooper said, prisoners were told of the func tions of the UN. They learned about the members, and about the agencies of the UN which would benefit them if they assumed a responsibility to the community in which they would liye after they were released from the pris ons, he said. There were certain aspects of the program •whi c h could have been more successful, Cooper said. As an example, he explained that the Orientals refused to accept the policeman as a positive part of Hitch-Hiking Home ? Then the best thing to carry with you is a . . .

Daily Broadcasts During four to six hours of the day radio broadcasts were made into the compounds. The educa tional portions were semi-docu mented programs designed to pre sent material in a subtle manner. Entertainment was also - includ ed in the broadcasts, Cooper said, most of it furnished by the prison ers themselves. Each compound had its own dramatic and choral groups and its own band, he said. The instruments used in the bands were home-made from old rations cans, he said. FRIDAY, MARCH 26, 1954 in explanation of his resignation and subsequent decision to remain on the ballot March 18.
