Russia WiII Accept New Ambassador
By EDWARD E. BOMAR

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27- R - Russia has agreed to accept George r. Kennan as the new U. s. Ambas- sador to Russia, almost at the same time denouncing him as foe of the Soviets.
 President Truman announced at Kansas City Wednesday night the selection of the 47-year-old career diplomat, who is credited with being a principal author of the present American policy of containment to counter the threat of Communist aggression.
 Eennan will succeed former
 Rear Adm. Alan G. Kirk, whose request for retirement President
 iai Secretary Joseph Short said
 Mir. Truman accepted with reluct- ance.
 The announcement was made af- ter the Kremlin orally informed the White House that Kennan would be acceptable There had been some speculation that he would not be. It arose after attacks on him by both Pravda and Radio Moscow, the latest only yesterday.
 Kennan, former State Department counselor and recently chief of Secretary of State Acheson's policy planning staff, is now on leave with the University Institute for Advanc- ed Studies at Princeton, N. J. He is expected to take over the Ambas- sadorship probably in April.
 Short said his nomination would be submitted to the Senate for con- firmation soon after, Congress re- convenes. There has been no indica- tion of opposition to Kennan.
 Kennan has had long experience in dealing with the Soviets, previous service in the embassy at Moscow, and speaks the Russian language fluently.

No Atiion Yet
 On $120,0oo For U. }. Pliers
By RICHARD o'REGAN

VIENNA, Dec. 27-tR-The U. s. Embassy said Thursday night the Hungarian Communist government IS still considering the American cffer to pay fine for the freedom of four jailed U. s. fliers.
 Such a stand conflicted with the announcement of Hungarys legation in Washington last night that the offer of s120,O0O in fines-called a ransom in the west--had been ac- cepted for the prompt release of the four men.
 In Washington, the legation said that no further word had been received from Budapest. The press attache, Madame Zsuzsana Szucs, said the only information receiv- ed by the Minister, Dr. Emil Well, was last nights message saying the
 American offer to pay the fines had been accepted but that the fliers could not be released be- fore Thursday because of Hun garian Christmas holiday.
 The nights development raised doubts on the status of negotiations for release of the fliers, convicted of violating Hungary's borders after their plane lost it's course on a Mu- nich-Belgrade flight. It seemed pos sible the Hungarians had raised new conditions.
 The Ambassador here. Walter J. Donnelly, talked with George Ab- bolt, U. s. Charge D'Affairs in the American legation at Budapest.
 '"The Hungarians merely told Ab- bolt our proposition was being con- sidered," Donnelly said.
 But American officials in Buda- pest still hoped the fliers soon would be on their way to freedom. Abbott also expressed hope that the Hun garians-when their decision was made-would turn the fliers over to the U S. legation in Budapest rather than dump them on the Aus trian border without previous notice.

The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON.-It wasn't an- nounced at the time, but General Eisenhower gave Winston Church ill some very blunt talk at their recent luncheon in Paris. It was about the bluntest conversation anyone has had with the eloquent Prime Minister of England who us- ually dominates every conversation and who usually was able to have his way with Franklin Roosevelt.
 Eisenhower opened the luncheon by telling Churchill that he felt the time had come to speak frank ly. He added that he had always been a close friend of England in fact, had been criticized in the United States for being too friend ly to the British.
 Therefore he indicated that, as a friend, he was in a position to speak frankly about England's fail- ure to cooperate in Europe. Eng land, lie said, was not supporting

.Cease-Fire Agreement
 Runs Out
0minous Note Further Received About Prison CTS of War Deaths

MUNSAN, Korea, Friday-R- The 30-day Korean cease-fire line agreement ran out today on "a 'ather ominous note' in truce alks about Allied prisoner of war deaths.
 There was no indication here of ,lans to extend the agreement re- sponsihle for the 30-day twilight var. The full five-man armistice committees which signed the orig nal agreement Nov. 27 did not wen meet. An. official U. N. spokes- nan said neither side asked for m extension.
 But in a subcommittee session at 'anmunjom Thursday, Rear Adm. a. E. Libby said the Communists linted; they may report many of the 50,000 unaccounted for Allied prisoners of war died of exposure md disease.
 Libby said it was "a rather ominous note. It might have been a forewarning that all these people died of Illness"
 Subcommittees working on the problems of exchanging war pris- oners and supervising a truce still were deadlocked when they ad- burned their last session before the scheduled expiration hour. The agreement was timed to run out 1t midnight c am. PST) Thurs lay
 Each committee scheduled an- ,ther meeting for II am. Friday ,6 pm. PST Thursday in Pan- nunjom.
 Washington sources expressed belief Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway would approve l5-day exten- sion of the period in which the l45-milc line drawn aCross Ko- req Nov. 27 could become per- manent cease-fire line.
 IliSn QiRiOiialll OAAAtioto t1 Washington said the Supreme U. N. Commander had been author zed to approve an extension of up Q 27 days if he felt there was iope of reaching an agreement.
 On Nov. 27 negotiators drew q tentative 'cease-fire line and agreed 1t would become the cen- ter of 2ts mile wide buffer zone if an armistice were signed with Tn 30 days.
 Otherwise the line would be re- irawn just before a truce is signed o follow changes resulting from cattle action.
 Expiration of the cease-fire line agreement could bring an explo- i've end to the month-long Hull )n the battle front; or the twi- ight war could continue while ne- citations go on.

SEOUL, Korea, Dec. 27-tR4-Am- erican sabre jets shot down two Red jets and badly damaged an- other in a renewal of air battles over northwest Korea Thursday the Fifth Air Force reported.
 The MIG-15s were shot down in a 30-minute battle between 32 sabres and 50 fight-minded MICS.
 Earlier 100 MICS had run for cover when a flight of sabres op- ened up on them. The Fifth Air Force said no American planes were hurt in either encounter.
 The air war broke out anew
 in clear skies as Allied infantry men fought in knee deep snow and subzcro temperatures near
 Hearttreak Ridge to regain an
 advance pcsition cut off by the Reds.
 The Communists have been fig h ting. intermittently since Christmas night to capture and hold the outpost.
 A company of Reds attacked again shortly after last midnight, just 24 hours before the end of the 30-day truce trial period.
 The fight continued through the bitter cold early morning darkness. By ' am. the Reds cut off the position.

A Good Compromise

difference of opinion between the super
intendent of schools and members of the
Board of Education over a successor to Dr.
Garnet C. Wilkinson, who retired last summer
as assistant superintendent in charge of the
colored divisions, seems to have been settled by
q satisfactory compromise.
In appointing DR.. Harold A. Haynes, who
has served in the public schools as an associate
superintendent to become first assistant super
intendent, the superintendent and board have
given him appropriate and deserved recognition
Now 81 years old, his retirement is not far away
To work with him, Francis A. Gregory, principal
OF Armstrong High School and one of the out
standing educators in the schools system, will
take newly created position as associate
superintendent in charge of colored schools
Both of the appointees are good men, they
have identified themselves with the local school
system through able work. 1t is gratifying that
the superintendent of schools and the board
members have patched up their differences
through an arrangement that seems to be not
only fair but should strengthen school admin
istration now and provides well for the future

Throw-Awoy Bottles

It is a sad commentary on the civic pride
of some of our citizens that it should become
necessary to conduct city-Wide campaign
against "thoughtless" disposal Of the so-called
throw beer bottles The problem has
become SO acute, apparently as result OF ad-
vertisements about the convenience of non
returnable beverage bottles, that Alan w. Payne,
chairman of the District Alcoholic Beverage Con-
troll Board, and William A. Xanten, superintend-
ent of sanitation, have joined in sponsoring an
educational drive against the practice of tossing
bottles and cans along the roadside. Sometimes
the containers roll onto the pavement, menacing
traffic.
Virginia already has placed ban on throw
away bottles because of the litter that accumu-
lates along the highways or on them. Other
jurisdictions may be forced to take action unless
voluntary steps bring the situation under control
The beverage manufacturers and sellers could
help by urging their customers to dispose of
"empties" in proper place, such as trash
receptacle. It would also help If the throw
away" idea were discarded in favor Of less
suggestive description for the non-returnable
containers.

This and That

So the man had just got back from
9000-nile auto trip. and what had he
seen that Templeton Jones hadn't?
Well, many things, of course, but
Jones still felt he had the best of it. He
had cleaner food, less crowding and
jostling, more comfort in every way. and
he wasn't bit shamed by the speak
piece of the honest man who said we
were all in danger of confusing comfort
with civilization.
Jones no longer let's people push him
around mentally.
Civilization should give q degree of
comfort, else it is not civilization at ALL,
You see, Jones knows something about
civilizations. Not as much as Prof.
Toyrbee, whose account of their rise and
decline remains a masterpiece few have
read in its entirety. Jones managed to
get through the condensed version, and
he knows a thing or two about other
books along the same line. OF course.
he wasn't there. but he has read great
deal, and no man is less in danger OF
confusing comfort with civilization or
anything else.
Travel some one said, is fools para
disc, or did he say 1t was the bugbear Of
little minds?
It makes no difference.
II the muscles are full Of vim and 60,
and one is young, one likes to travel. to
see things.
Templeton Jones Is 40 longer young.
Evening star., 1951-09-27

All this going and coming, this inces-
SAINT flying here and there, this milling
around, the larger the crowd the better,
makes even the quietest heart restless
now and then.
The flow Of life, the surge of the
mighty sea, is not something way of
there, but beats its compelling message
for all to hear. Ask not for whom the
sea shell Solnds-it sounds for thee, too.
The quiet man, of whom Templeton
Jones is good example, knows all this,
but at times he is in danger of forget
ting. as he hears the traveller telling
about his travels, the aviator about his
winging, the vacationer Dragging about
where he has been.
'The home-staying heart is happiest,"
wrote an old poet, now almost forgotten.
Truly, such sentiments seem out of place
in our roaring age, when planes span
the Atlantic in four hours. Chow long
did Lindberg take to do it?)
There can be no quarrel between those
who stay and those who go, but surely
there should be little more generosity
and good will toward the person who
stays because he wants to stay.
! What one wants to do
This is In great danger Of being wiped
out by those who claim that one ought
to do what they have decided all
should do.
The hour is at hand, and Templeton
Jones Is its hero, but unfortunately few
persons know IT,
