When the boy was discovered missing, a search first was made of the bathhouse before the alarm was given. Swimmers at the pool estimated that he had been in the water more than half an hour before his body was located. Young Rickman's uncle, Al- j | bert Rickman, drowned about j 16 years ago while swimming | in the Little Tennessee river ! | above the Iotla bridge. Forest service funds are not available for a life-guard at ' the pool, in the Nantahala for est, but Forest Service officials here said in all probability, a guard could have not saved young Rickman because he made no call for help and dis- I appeared without struggling. Gene Stamey, hired by a ; group of Franklin businessmen j | to oversee activities at the pool, 1 returned to town about 3 o'clock j \ on the day of the drowning. He j j told Forest Service officials he left because the day was cool | and there were few swimmers at the pool. Young Stamey is not a registered lifeguard. Services for the Rickman boy were conducted by the Rev. Rommie Pierce, of Wingate. former pastor of the Cowee church, and the Rev. Norman E. Holden. Burial was in the church cemetery. Surviving are the boy's par- I nnts: three brothers. Erwin, of | Birmingham, Mich., Ed, of the home, and Seaman First Class Cecil Rickman, stationed with ; the navy in Scotland; the pa ternal grandfather, Roland R. ' Rickman, of West's Mill; and | the maternal srandparenfs, Mr. and Mrs. Cas Sawyer, of Hayes ville.

Young Kusterer, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Kusterer, of Franklin, was sponsored by the local Legion post. No. 1 Fleet as one of the most re markable men and officers he \ has ever known. A colonel, j commanding a regiment, eight years ago during the Normandy invasion, Van Fleet now is a ; four-star general. Col. Sloan described him as "a Lincoln- 1 esque type of person, who j seems totally unaware of mili- , tary rank". General Van Fleet, | he explained, will talk as in- ] terestedly with a private as with j a high ranking officer ? and be ; as interested. He gives General Van Fleet much credit for 'the present strong ROK (Republic of Ko rea i army, which Col. Sloan said now is "a powerful mili tary force". It is made up of 10 U. S. -equipped and U. S. trained divisions. Incidentally, no division or other unit within the Korean, army carries the number "four". There is a third and a fifth, but never a fourth. The ' ex planation is a "deeply imbed- t ded" superstition about the number four. It is impossible for a West erner to understand the Orient al psychology that marked the Koje Island prison riots. Col. Sloan said. Men with no real grievance, he remarked, armed | themselves with weapons such i as flails and rocks and attack- ] ed heavily armed troops. ? The hard core of Communists ? and Col. Sloan personally doubts that the number of real Com munists is large ? within the prison stockade are animated by a religious-like fanaticism, j and somehow they are able to transmit that fanaticism to others. The element of fear, ! too, entered into the picture, be cause there were "kangaroo \ courts, just as there have been in all prison camps, always", \ and undoubtedly many non Communist prisoners were mur dered. These Communists, he said, acting almost certainly on in structions from outside the prison, were determined to pre vent the UN forces from screen ing the prisoners, and thus showing how few were real i Communists. 1 J He expressed the belief that j General Dodd, when he was ! captured by the prisoners and I held hostage, several weeks ago, j was attempting to win the | Communists' confidence by 1 showing his confidence in them. "He took the gamble ? and lost." i The prisoner stockade on ' Koje Island was crowded, and much too large, Col. Sloan said. Originally, he explained, there was neither the time nor the personnel to do more than Im provise to meet the prisoner-of war situation. Then, it looked like the war was about over, and the expenditure of a large sum of money for a number of smaller stockades did not seem warranted. Still later, the start of the peace talks held open the promise of a cessation of fighting and the release of the prisoners. Col. Sloan, now only 37, was graduated from the U. S. Mili tary academy at West Point in 1937, and fought with the American army In Europe and the Pacific during World War 2. So far as is known, he is the only Macon County man to attain so high a rank in the regular army. At the end of his leave here, he left lor Carlisle, Perm*-, for 10 months at the army war college, a highly coveted as signment among regular army officers.
