Red Wordinq Accepted on Two Points
Communists Nod When Allied Views Presented Al Long Session
. By ROBERT EUNsoN

SEOUL, Korea, July Is, - iR - Allied and Red envoys agreed to- day on two points of the cease-i,re agenda but dispute over "at least one major point" is blocking the start of actual Korean war armis- tice negotiations.
 The United Nations announced this tonight after negotiators re- turned from their longest session this week. It was the first report of agreement on any part of the agenda.
 Vice Adm. c. Turner Joy, head of the U. N. cease-fire team, ac- cepted Communist wording for two agenda items at the close of Tues days conference, the announcement said.
 When he did so. "the entire Com munist delegation seemed to show qualification, perhaps mixed with certain element of relief said Brig. Gen. William Nuckols of the U. s. Air Force. Nuckols attended the session in Kaesong.
 And when Admiral Joy presented the allied view on the major unre- solved question, Nuckols said, the two Chinese members of the Com munist delegation nodded and ap- peared to appreciate the United Nations viewpoint"
 Neither Nuckols nor the formal headquarters. announcement. dis closed the points agreed upon in the sixth day of conferences. Nor did they say what was the major stumbling block to reaching "mu- tually acceptable agenda.'
 But General Matthew B. Ridgway. supreme allied commander, describ- cd it as essential to the success of the cease-fire conference.
 Observers speculated that the key question was whether to discuss withdrawal of foreign troops from Korea. The Communists want this on the agenda. The United Nations negatiators do not.
 They are still trying to agree on the scope of actual cease-fire talks.
 Tn order to hasten the cOnferen- ces to their ultimate goal" the U. N. announcement said, ''thc United Nations senior delegate Admiral Joy) accepted two points presented by the Communists on the phrase ology of agenda items, after plac- ing on the record the United Ma tiors understanding of their basic intent"
 Some additional progress" was made at yesterdays sessions which lasted two hours and 50 minutes, the Army said.
 The seventh days meeting was scheduled for II am. Thursday. , pm. Juneau time today.
 "Today's meeting moved rather ponderously. as had the previous meetings, due to language difficult ties the Army said.
 Since three guages-Chinese, North Korean and English-are used in the conferences, it was necessary for each statement from either side to be translated two times"

S. E. Alaska Now Catholic Diocese
Cathedral Named in Juneau; 0'FIanagan Named Bishop

Southern Alaska was last night elevated to a diocese of the Roman Catholic Church in a directive from Pope Plus XII, according to an Associated Press dispatch from Washington, D. c.
 The change will take the area out of mission status. It appeared likely that the Jesuit fathers, es- sentially missionaries, will be re- placed, the Rev. James U. Con- well, chancellor of the Vicariate of Alaska, said here this morning.
 Cathedral will be the Church of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary in Juneau.
 The Rev. Conwell said the new diocese of Juneau will include the surrounding areas of Anchorage, Palmer, Seward, Kodiak, Cordova and all of Southeast Alaska.
 The Rev. Robert Dermot O'Flan- agan, pastor of the Holy Family parish in Anchorage, has been named bishop of the Juneau dio- ccse which will include "all the southern coastal region" of Alaska, the announcement said..-. Bishop elect O'Flanagan, born in Ireland March 9, 1901, came to Alaska in 1883.
 The remainder of Alaska will con- tinue Io be administered as vic- ariate apostolic.
 Long Contemplated
 There are approximately l2,000 church members in the new diocese, including about 1000 in Juneau, the Rev. Conwen said. He also stated that the formation of this new dio- cese had been under consideration for some time due to the more ad- vanced development of this region, compared to other Alaska areas.
 The Rev. OFlanagan will be concecrated as bishop at a time and place of his own choosing, fol- lowing which formal installation will take place, the Rev. Conwen said. It is customary for concecra- ton to take place within three months following appointment, he said.
 The new arrangement will mean that Southeast Alaska will have US own residential bishop and not be tied in so closely with Rome. The Rev. OFIanagan will choose ms own staff and it is net now known what changes will occur.
 New Status Change
 The Rev. Conwell explained that the change is similar to territory S being elevated to statehood, With more autonomous control given by Rome.
 The same announcement said that the diocese of Seattle was e'- eyated to an archdiocese. The order also created diocese at Yakima, Wash.
 The Most Reverend Thomas A. Connolly, Bishop of Seattle, was appointed archbishop. Msgr. Joseph P. Dougherty, former chancellor of the diocese of Seattle, was named first bishop of the Yakima diocese.
 The diocese of Spokane, Yakima and Juneau will he included in the new archdiocesan province of Se- attle. Archbishop Connolly, 5l, a native of San Francisco, became bishop of Seattle in 1948. Prior to that he was auxiliary bishop of San Francisco.

Defines Type Of Loan
That Raises Prices
BY the Associated Press

A group of bankers and insur-
ance executives tried to illustrate
yesterday how they sort out what
they think are good and bad loans
in these days of imitation.
The National Voluntary Credit
Restraint Committee gave some
examples of what it is doing to
hold down bank credit in the in
terests of fighting imitation.
The committee works in harness
with the Federal Reserve Board
to get banks throughout the Ma
tion to cut down, voluntarily, on
loans considered infiationary by
the committee and the Reserve
Board.
In general, as announced before
the committee calls on banks to
grant credit only to projects that
boost production, especially for de-
fense, or fill essential civilian
needs. National committees serve
as appeal boards from decisions by
local banks.
These were among regional
committee decisions cited yester-
day as guidepoSts to good and bad

Civilian JET Output

Resignation of Delos w. Rented
as Undersecretary of Commerce
for aviation led to reports today
the Government is planning an
early start on program aimed
to catch up with Great Britain
on jet transport planes.
Associates said Mr.. Rented,
whose resignation was announced
by President Truman in Key West
yesterday. had delayed his de-
parture from Government service
for several months in an effort
to work out suitable plan for
civilian jets.
Hints At Agreement.
In a news conference here, Mr.
Rented hinted that agreement
may be near on a Government
backed project to produce jet
transports for civilian air lines.
He declined to go into details
but said:
II think we are beginning to
arrive at something"
At the Capitol, informed sources
said a program to produce a jet
engine transport plane for mill
tary use will be announced shortly
The plane, it was said, could be
adapted easily for civilian use.
Britain May Widen Lead.
Britain has started testing a jet
transport plane for use in British
overseas commerce. The tests, If
successful. would give Britain a
|two-year lead over this country's
jet transport plans.
Mr.. Rented said he plans to re-
turn to private enterprise. But
it was said he had refused to dis
|cuss job opportunities with pos
Sible employers until he leaves the
Federal payroll.
In his letter of resignation to
the President he said:
If the present international sit
uation deteriorates drastically and
I am needed, I will be available. u
He will continue to serve for a
time as a part-time consultant to
Secretary of Commerce Sawyer
and Charles E. Wilson, defense
mobilizer.

White House denies knowledge of
receiving the letter.
"All this" he continued, brings
out matter which overShadows
this Medal of Honor thing. That
lis that there is an iron curtain
which is apparently preventing
incoming information from reach
ing the President as well as pre-
venting some information from
going out"
This has made it impossible, he
said, for that great group of be-
reaved Americans" to get their
viewpoint before the President.
This curtain must be lifted for
the Presidents own benefit as well
as that of the parents of these
boys"
Capt. Guild went on to say that
"this curtain" had apparently
prevented the White House from

He said he had personally ad-
dressed and signed "at least ,000''
of the post cards which were di-
rected to the White House.
what I want to see DONE
Capt. Guild asserted, "is the lift
ing of all the political restrictions
which have hampered the fighting
in Korea.
"We here at home should be
permitted to share some of the
risk, of whatever risk there is. in
allowing our men to fight back
effectively instead Of having us
sacrifice the lives of our fighting
men because our Washington
leadership is afraid that the peo-
pie at home do not have the cOur-
age to share that risk
The present administration "has
taken the attitude that American
people haven't got the CUTS tc
stand up under the threat o1
bombs or a reprisal by Russia
II think they have the CUTS tc
stand up under any positive &C.
ton taken.
We're being protected when we
don't want to be protected. We

Retired Army Coptoin
Says His Views Are
Shared by Many
BY the Associated Press

GLENWOOD SPRINGS, Colo,
Nov. 13.-Retired Army Capt. Eu-
gene r. Guild said today he has
devoted more than $1,000 Of my
sons death benefits" in a constant
effort to present to President
Truman the viewpoint of one par
ent of a boy who died in the
Korean fighting.
This viewpoint" he said. I
think is shared by a great many
of the parents of the other some
1000 who have died in Korea
and the parents of those who are
still dying and will continue to
die"
The captain, who wrote the
President November l asking
whether Mr.. Truman's failure to
award a Medal of Honor to his
son was due to his criticism OF
tactics in Korea, said he was
greatly troubled and disap-
pointed by my failure to reach
the ear of the President over the
last II months"
He added, however, that II
am relived more and more by
the statements from Key West
and Washington" concerning the
award of the medal of honor to
Marine 1t. Henry Alfred Com
miskey, and the award OF a Navy
Cross to the captains son. 25-
year-old Marine 1t. John Guild,
who was killed while fighting at
1t. Commiskey's side.
No Tampering, Short Says.
"It indicates that the affair is
at least being handled and also
that the President is now receiv-
ing information which he never
got before"
Presidential Secretary Joseph
Short yesterday told newsmen at
Key West, Fla. where the Presi-
dent is vacationing, that Mr.. Tru-
man considers the Congressional
Medal of Honor as sacred" and
would not tolerate "any one tam
pering" with the procedures set
up for its award.
In Washington, Secretary of the
Navy Kimball said there was mo
basis in fact" for Capt. Guilds
suggestion that his criticism of
the Truman administration fig-
ured in the medal award.
Mr.. Kimball said the records
show 1t. Guild and 1t. Commits
key were both initially recon-
mended for the Navy Cross by
their division commander but that
the commander of United States
naval forces in the Fast East, Vice
Admiral Charles Turner Joy, had
recommended 1t. Commiskey's
award be raised to the Medal Of
Honor.
Letter in Many Papers.
In addition to his letter Of No
vember /, which a White House
spokesman said has not been re-
ceived, Capt. Guild said that on
September 20. 1851. he wrote the
President that his son and all the
Korean dead were being deprived
of the right held by the dead of
other wars to have the war in
which they died recorded on their
gravestones.
