reported $4,000.
Lawrence CPops) Harrison,
Waterloo's general manager, said:
"The deal is closed so far as
Waterloo is concerned end the
remainder of Shares contract has
been transferred to Fort Wayne.
The sale was made with the ap-
proval of our commissioner, Doxie
Moore. and Fort Wayne now owns
Share. I know nothing of Mr..
Podoloff's refusal to approve the
deal. That's strictly a problem
between Fort Wayne and Mr..
Podoloff."
Podoloff yesterday refused to
give a reason for his decision.
In Lafayette, Ind, Commits
sioner Moore said: II don't know
what Podoloff's reasons may be
probably it's just a delay in the

healthy thing to sell players from
one league to another"

Asian Nations Urge
III. Sired China Talks
On Eastern Problems
BY the Associoied Press


LAKE SUCCESS, Dec. 2S.-
Tense Asian countries in the
United Nations are pressing the
United States to negotiate with
Communist China for a settle
ment of all Far Eastern political
problems.
They are reported to feel that
such negotiations are the only
possible means for a solution to
the Korean war without a mill
tary knockout.
Ever since the Chinese Reds
sent their hordes into Korea, the
countries of Asia-with the ex-
ception of the Philippines-have
been urging that the United
States listen to Communist
Peiping's demands that:
/. The United States withdraw
its troops from Korea;
2. The United States withdraw
the 7th Fleet from Formosa.
8. The United States stop it's
opposition to the seating of the
Communist Chinese regime in the
United Nations.
Hope for Peace Seen.
They believe these concessions
would bring peace to Asia, at
least temporarily. This view was
implied in 12-power resolution
they put before the United Nations
Assembly two weeks ago. pledging
Red China a political conference
in return for peace in Korea.
That proposal was accompanied
by a 13-power (the thirteenth was
the Philippines) resolution calling
for negotiations on cease-f fire in
Korea. Consideration of the reso-
luton for political talks was
shelved to await progress on the
cease-f1re move.
Since Peiping's rejection of the
cease-fire proposal. the IL coun-
tries-Afghanistan. Burma, Egypt,
India. Iran. Iraq. Indonesia.
Lebanon. Pakistan, Saudi Arabia,
Syria and Yemen-are pressing
for try at their other proposal.
U. S. Opposed to Proposal.
The United States so far has
pursued hostile attitude toward
the proposed political conference.
The Americans view any move
linking a possible end to the
Korean fighting with concessions
to the Chinese Reds as yielding
to blackmail.
The Asian sponsors of the polit-
ical conference resolution, how
ever, are expected to meet this
afternoon (about pm. EST to
discuss ways and means Of bring
ing about such talks.
The three-man cease-fire COM
mission-Assembly President Mas
rollah Entezam of Iran, Sir Bene-
gal N. Rau of India and r. G.
Riddell of Canada-met yesterday
to discuss Peiping's rejection.
No announcement of their con-
clusions was made.
They met as Gen. Macarthur
charged in a special report to
the U. N. that the Chinese Reds
made their plans to invade Korea
last summer-months before U. N.
troops crossed the 38th Parallel.
Many observers, especially in Asia.
have charged that China would
not have intervened if Gen. Mac
Arthur had refrained from cross
ing the parallel.
