Arlington Burial For Indian Hero Moi Wanted in Iowa

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29-tR President Truman today offered the burial in Arlington national cemetery of a Winnebago Indian killed in action in Korea, whose interment was halted at Sioux City, Ia., because of his Indian blood.
 MT. Truman acted after reading a news story that burial of the hody of Sgt. First Class John R. Rice, 37, was halted just as it was about to be lowered into the grave.
 The story which aroused the President quoted an army off cer as saying the Winnebago Indians burial was stopped by authorities of the Sioux City Memorial park cemetery because "only members of the Caucasian race" could be buried in the cemetery.

 Assisting in the raid were Deputy Marshals Sidney Thompson of Ju- neau and John E. Krepps, of Wran- gell
 Hellan said no other forms of gambling were uncovered except the one place where the slot ma chimes were found. They were taken in custody by the marshal and will be destroyed. No arrests were made.
 "A warning was issued against gambling and slot machines prior to the raid" Hellan said. with the statement there would be no second warning. It is my intention to en- force the law regarding gambling in any form. Fragrant public gamb- ling will not be tolerated"

Fate of Truce Talks Up 10 Communists
RidgwaY Refuses Second Probe of Bombing No Alternatives

TOKYO, Aug. 29-tR-Gen. Mat thew B. Ridgway put it squarely up to the Communists today to decide the fate of Korean war truce talks.
 The United Nations commander curtly refused to reinvestigate the alleged Kaesong bombing incident. But he said the allies would resume armistice negotiations whenever the Reds are ready to end their "unjus- tifiable delay of the conference.
 The general view here was that Ridgway's l16-word message to the tcp Communist commanders left them almost no alternatives but to back down or break off the dis rupted conferences completely.
 Ridway did not even mention the Communist demand that he admit a LIN plane bombed the truce site. He called the whole incident fraud.
 His message to the North Korean premier, Kim Il Sung, and Chinese Gen. Peng Teh- Huai dealt only with their request that he send his lia- ison officers back to Kaesong to look at new evidence.
 "A reinvestigation after this lapse of time," Ridgway said, "ccuId serve no purpose other than to continue this unjustifiable de- lay in the armistice negotiations"
 The LIN comander observed that during the original investigation a few hours after the asserted bomb- ing the night of Aug. 22, Red llai- son officer specifically refused the requests of my liaison officer to con tinue the investigation during day. light and to leave all of the alleged evidence in place"

Senator predi(is
 Judge's Removal for Reducing Reds Bail

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29-R- Senator O'Mahoney CD-Wyo) pre- dicted today that Federal Judge Delbert E. Metzger of Hawaii will be replaced for reducing the bail of seven Communist suspects ar- rested in Hawaii.
 OMahoney, the chairman of the Senate Interior and Insular Af- fairs committee, told a reporter Judge Metzger's reduction of the bail bonds from $75,O00 to $5.00( was an courageous act.' The gov ernment had asked the higher figure.
 Rep. Doyle (D-Calif), a mem- Der of the House Unamerican Activities committee, told a re- porter he considers the S5,OOO bail very much too low" in view of the disappearance of COmmun- ist suspects under similar cOndi- tiOns in New York.
 Asked for comment, Senator OMahoney dictated this statement to a reporter:
 Outrageous Act"
 "The action of Federal Judge Delbert E. Metzger of Hawaii ir reducing the bonds of Jack Hal and his associates arrested yester-
  day as Communists on orders oi the FBI is an outrageous act which in my judgment will speedily ter minate the judges services in Ha- waii.
 His actual term of office ex- pired in September, 1850, but his age and the pendency of suggested legislation providing retirement for territorial judges has delayed the selection of successor.

The W ashinqton Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

Recently, on the edge of the Iron Curtain, Drew Pearson par ticipated in a project which real ized an idea for which he has plugged ever since 1948-the re- lease of a barrage of freedom friendship balloons to people be- hind the Iron Curtain.
 As far back as July 21, 1943 Pearson wrote an open letter tc Stuart Symington, then Secretary for Air, in which he stated:
 Tt may be that am terrible bore on the subject, but I am convinced that we must go over the Kremlin's head to the Russian people in order to convince them that the United States-contrary to Moscow propaganda-is compos- ed of people who do not want wa as long as the Russian gov ernment has no senate, no con- gress, and most important of all no public opinion to hold the checkrein on the Kremlin, oul only common sense policy is to get to the Russian people our selves with the truth.
 "So here is my suggestion.
 "The 60 giant B-29's you have sent to Europe will have their ef- feet on the Kremlin. Let's also make them felt by the Russian people-in an entirely different way-by having them drop mes sages of friendship"
 A few days later Pearson wrote; General public reaction to the idea of going over the head of the Kremlin by floating weather bal looms from France and Germany
