TOKYO, Aug. Cen. Matthew
B. Ridgway told the Reds today

Sumed until they assure him they
will keep their Kaesong neutrality
agreement.
The Allied supreme commander
bluntly acknowledged the Red
apology for last Saturdays viola

told them that wasn't enough.
In a strongly-worded message
to the two Red commanders in
Korea. Gen. Ridgway said he
needed new assurances that Com
munists will keep their word.
Only then, he said, will he
send his five negotiators back to
Kaesong to resume armistice
negotiations.
Broke Off Talks Twice.
Gen. Ridgway, who has twice
broken off talks because armed
Red troops violated the neutral
area, said he didn't think the ap-
pearance of a company of heavily
armed Communists last Saturday
was an accident" as the Reds
stated.
He told Korean Gen. Kim Il
Sung and Chinese Gen. Peng
Teh-huai that he considered the
incident neither minor nor trivial
And, he said:
ut must be clearly understood
that my acceptance of a resump-
ton of the armistice talks is
conditional on complete COM
lpliance with your guarantees of
naturalization Of the Kaesong
area. Any further failure in this
regard will be interpreted as a
deliberate move on your part to
terminate the armistice negotia-
tions.
II await your acceptance of this
condition"
A company of armed Red SOL
diers had marched through the
Kaesong neutral zone while the
armiStice conference was under
way Saturday. Because of this,
Gen. Ridgway abruptly broke of
the conferences Sunday.

Edwin Johnson Warns
House Probers Against
Damaging Baseball
Senator Urges Group
To AbsoIve Come Of
Doubtful Legality
By Miriom Ottenbero

Senator Edwin c. johnson,
Democrat, of Colorado, today
warned congressional baseball
probers that if they cast further
doubt on the legality of the
games structure without doing
something about it, they will
cause "irreparable damage" to
baseball.
The Senator. who is also presi-
dent of baseball's Western League,
urged the House Monopoly sub
committee to complete its job
by recommending exemption OF
baseball from antitrust laws.
He is sponsor of a bill to ex-
empt all professional sports. but
when subcommittee members pro-
tested the bill was too broad and
might have the effect of cutting
down broadcasting and television
of games he said he assumed the
bill would be rewritten.
Epidemic of Suits Feared.
Senator johnson made it clear
that he was mainly interested in
preserving two basic arrange
ments in organized baseball-the
reserve clause" which makes a
ball player the property of the
first club that signs him, and
territorial rights which give clubs
the power to veto the entrance
Iof other clubs into their territory
He said these arrangements were
dictated by necessity" and with
out them baseball would be rele-
gated to the sandlot.
Taking note Of the suits by
what he termed "disgruntled play
Iers" attacking. the legality of the
reserve clause, he predicted that
if the congressional hearings end
without remedial legislation the
suits might reach epidemic pro-
portion" from "chislers, black
mailers, and ambulance chasing
lawyers"
The courts, he said, would be
the worst place" to leave the
question of the reserve clause
and territorial rights.
IF you lawyers think there's
any illegality about the reserve
clause. he declared, you should
exempt it"
Farm System Defended.
Chairman Celler asked Senator
johnson about the farm system
through which major league clubs
develop their new players. Senator
johnson responded that this was
such a natural arrangement with
such advantages to ambitious
young players and to the COM
munity served by the farm that

Fairfax County 0mits
Peace Justices From
Ballot in Primary
New Provision Forgotten;
Lively Voting Focuses
On Shorp Local Fights

Fairfax County election official;
discovered today-after the Vir.
Iginia primary already was under
way-that they have enormously
omitted the names of justice OF
the peace candidates on the bal
lots.
Apparently overlooked was the
provision of the county executive
form OF government, which takes
effect January l, that only one
justice of the peace be elected in
each magisterial district.
But at least three candidates
have filed in one district and two
in another. Under present law
this number is allowed and elec-
tion officials had assumed that
they would automatically become
the unopposed nominees.
Ed Uhler, chairman of the
County Electoral Board and also
of the Democratic Committee
could not be reached for com
ment.
Three File in One District.
In Mount Vernon Magisterial
District, which embraces the heav-
lily travelled Route and Shirley
highway, three of the incumbent
justices of the peace filed for re-
nomination. They are Harry
Shepherd, Lewis Finks and Will
liam j. Barber.
In Providence District. through
which Lee highway travels, C. C.
Carr and Joseph Bennett had filed
for denomination.

filed in any of the other four dis

BY the Associated Press

BUDAPEST, Hungary, Aug. T.
The Hungarian press and radio to-
day gave the Communist govern
ment's version of why it has ban
Iished "undesirables" from Buda-

The official version said a total
of 4,081 members Of the former

The statement said there was
not a single paragraph in the
peace treaty with Hungary that
would prescribe that "Horthy's
generals and ministers must be
allowed to dwell in de luxe quar-
ters in Budapest"

said, used the same laws passed
