Truman, Douglas Tm Rift Over
 Choice of Judges

WASHINGTON. July IT = R = Senator Douglas (D-IlD said today he will poll the Chicago Bar Asso- ciation to determine whether he or President Truman is right in their Federal judge selections.
 MT. Truman passed over two o1 three men recommended by Douglas for judgeship vacancies in Illinois.
 Douglas said in statement he believes Mir. Truman's two choices are worthy men," But he added he feels his own selections have "su- perior qualifications"
 Douglas had recommended ap- pointment of William H. King, Jr., a former president of the Chicago Bar Association, and Benjamin P Epstein, a judge of the Cook (Chi- cago) County Circuit court.
 However, MT. Truman nominated Joseph Jerome Drucker and Corne- lius J. Harrington to the bench.
 Drucker is a nephew of Rep Adolph Sabath, Chicago Democrat and 85-year-old dean of the House Harrington is circuit judge in Chi cago.
 Congressional insiders interpreted MT. Truman's appointments as an other indication of the growing coolness between him and the Hi nois senator.
 > Douglas, however, said
 T have no desire to become en- gagged in a struggle with the Presl- dent. for whom I have the kndliest feelings and who is bearing a heavy load"
 MT. Truman picked Douglas third judgeship choice, Joseph Samuel Perry, but Perry also was backed py former Democratic Senator Scott Lucas of Illinois and some politicians have looked on Perry's nomination as chiefly reward for Lucas.
 The rift between Douglas and MT. Truman generally has been attri- buted to these factors:
 1. While supporting most admin istration proposals, Douglas has foi- lowed an independent course on others. He has led drive aimed at cutting Federal spending.
 9. Reports that Douglas may De- come contender for the Democratic Presidential nomination. in 1852 II MT. Truman does not run. Douglas has denied any such intentions though it is generally believed he'd like to have a hand in picking the nominee.

Some Progress aHR EEse1 zee Fall EDesgDffe
 New kgess Point
By SAM sUMMERLIN

 (Who went to Kaesong fo Tuesdays cease-fire discussions meeting)
 MUNSAN, Korea. July IT -lR- An Allied spokesman said Commun- ists raised a new point in Korean war cease fire discussions today = but that came as no surprise to the LIN delegation.
 The spokesman did not report the nature of the new point.
 Both he and an official commun- ique sad some progress" was made !n the fifth day of armistice con- ference at Kaesong. Delegates are still arguing about the agenda.
 The spokesman, Col James A. Norell of Mountain Home, Idaho, said he had no idea how long dele gates would be working on the agenda.
 The negotiators spent an hour and 35 minutes on it Tuesday. They will resume at 10 am. Wednesday (4 pm today, Juneau time).
 There was considerable back and forth discussions" Norell said, but no heeated arguments.
 Allied announcements about arr mistice meetings were brief, but Communist reports were even short CT. The North Koreans Pyongyang radio merely gave the time the meeting opened and the time it closed. It's reports have been terse since the talks resumed Sunday. North Korean Gen. Nam Il. chief Communist delegate. opened Tues days sessions. a US. 9th Army an- nouncement said. Most of the 55- minute morning session was devoted to a discussion between Nam and Vice Adm. c. Turner Joy, chief LIN delegate, of the Allied proposals for the agenda
 Considerable time was required in clarifying definitions and in making translations.
 In the afternoon Nam elaborated on the Reds idea of what the agen- da should include. He apparently came with the English and Chinese trpnslations of his remarks already prepared.
 Both Joy and Nam. who do virt- uslly all the talking, read their statements.
 For the third day there were no Red guards near the tiled building where meetings are held. The AL lied party saw only two armed Com- munists in Kaesong.
 Both were North Korean police. One stood in a traffic circle with a red flag in one hand, white flag in the other. He presumably was directing the almost non-existent traffic. The other was leading an OK cart.

The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON right, 1881. py Bell Syndicate. h

WASHINGTON = Defense mo- bilizer Charles E. Wilson has had many bitter battles with labor both before and after he came to Wash ington. However, the former Gen. eral Electric boss pulled shoulder to-shoulder with labor leaders last week in a closed-door assault on Congress for failing to pass effec- tive price controls.
 More than 100 house members, including about 20 Republicans, heard Wilson, AFL president Bill Green and CIO secretary-treasurer James Carey denounce the badly gutted price control bill as a boon to Joe Stalin and an invitation to ruinous imitation.
 If the dollar goes down to 25 cents in value because Congress has failed to control prices, Joe Stalin will have gained a great victory without firing a shot," the ex-head of General Electric declared at the secret meeting, called by House rules chairman Adolph Sabath of Illinois.
 T do not agree with labor all the time, but agree with labor on this. We are moving into a period

 Harney is chief quarter master on the U. $. s. Los Angeles, sailing in Korean waters.
 He was ordered tO produce two small admirars flags to fly on the jeeps of Vice Adm. Joy and Rear Adm. Burke at Kaesong. The Navy's ad- miraI flag is blue with white stars. Hartney found he had only large sizes in the ships locker.
 The regular white bunting material was too stiff and coarse for the 10 by I2-inch flag. So Hartney whipped out his shirttail and cut them out.
 The Navy issue material did a perfect job, too, Hart ney said in a letter to his  mother, Mrs. w. c. Hartney.
