TOKYO (AP) - Plans to release four U.8. airmen. probably in Hoiig Kong later today. were dis- closed by Red China-along with a hint that 11 other imprisoned U.s. airmen of the Korean war also may be freed shortly.

First Peiping radio announced Monday night that a military tri- bunal May 24 convicted the four airmen of "intruding" into Man- churia, then sentenced them to im- mediate deportation. They have been in Red prisons more than two years.

Then secretary - general Dag Hammarslrlold announced at Uni- ted ' ' headquarters in New York that Communist China's Pra- mier Chou En-lai had informed him by letter the four airmen prob- ably will reach Hong Kong today.

The letter also lnted at the probable release of the other 1 1. now under sentence as "espion- age agents."

Like dozens of their neigbbo I the Myrna were burned out of their

LIVE IN TRAILER

Now they are living in a cramped trailer between the rubble of their fire-flattened home and the black- ened trunks of trees ringing their farmland.

Their home was a solid structure with rambling ells, packed with the accumulations of a lifetime. Only part of a chimney and pins- tcr-littered cement foundations are left.

The grotesquely-twisted remains of the kitchen stove and Mrs. Myi-als sewing machine poke up through the rubble.

The fire burned so intensely there is practically no ash. nor any sign of their prized "electric ra- dlo.”

”Sometimes we laugh andnjoke about it." Mrs. Myra says. And sometimes we Just bawl." She struggled to keep back tears as she spoke.

OTTAWA tCPi-Farm live and CC? parties joined forces Monday in requesting that meat sold on retail markets be graded for the housewives.

Thcy,saiti in the Comiiimis that when farmers are required to sell livestock by grades. the grades should be passed on to consumers. Agriculture Minister Gardiner replied he can't see how the gov- ernment can safeguard everyone who buys meat. He added that he doesnt believe housewives are foolcd often by butchers.

"Housewives know about as who's selll g it." he said.

TAKE L0 ER PRICE

G. H. Castledeu lCCF--Yorkionl said hog producers sell animals by grade. taking a lower price for low-grade animals. But there was no assurance that the meat wniild not be sold as top-grade pork. There were no grades marked on retail pork cuts and the buyer could not distinguish.

The discussion arose during con- sldcratlon of a measure. later passed. to consolidate standards and grading legislation for inter- provinclal and export trade in dairy products, livestock, fruit. vegetables. meat and canned foods.

John A. Charlton (PC-Brant Haldimandl said moat producers are docked for low grades.

"We would like to sea those grades follow through to the con- sumer."
