 Are Confined To Discussing Agenda
By JIM BECKER

MUNSAN, Korea, (P - Cease fire talks are progressing in "cold military formality" with every reason to be optimistic, United Nations briefing officer said to- night.
 "The talks are now on the tracks," said the spokesman, Col. George Ruhlen of Los Crices, NM. "An armistice is m u h nearer tonight than it was A hours ago."
 The briefing officer said nego- tiators may not get down to brass tackS" in Thursday sessions. They still are discussing what items are to go on the agenda and in what order they will be taken up.
 Improvement in the atmosphere of negotiations was reflected in a UAACA 20 Allied news representatives would be authorized to go to Kae- song for Thursdays negotiations.
 Previously they had been ban ned on Communist insistence.
 Communist radios in Pyongyang and Peiping said North Korean and Communist negotiators have laid down a three-point demand for a cease-fire agreement:
 l. Establish a 1212 mile buffer zone at the 38th parallel.
 2. Re-establish the status quo as of June 25, 1850, when the Ko- rean war started, with the 38th parallel dividing North and South Korea.
 3. Withdraw all foreign troops from Korea and start talks inn mediately for exchange of prison CTS.

DETROIT, (P) - The National League inner circle today saw an end to the American Leagues reign of terror" and predicted a new cycle, shifting the batting power to the senior circuit.

Gen. Groves of Atomic Bomb Project, Caustic
 On U. s. Foreign Policy

DARIEN, Conn, (P) = Lieut.. Gen. Leslie R. Groves, U.S.A. ret) contends that America should make a determined effort to learn Russia'S secrets.
 He says Cookie pushers" in an understaffed State Department aren't enough to do the job.
 The wartime head of the Man hattan Project, which developed the atomic bomb, told an inter viewer at his home here:
 eve should take immediate steps to infiltrate Russia by es- tablishing courses of study in the Russian tongue and customs. It is impossible for any nation to maintain complete secrecy on dip lomatic or military strategy, and we have not made any real at tempt to pierce Russia's secrets" |"
 Groves was caustic in his com ments on American foreign policy toward the close of World War II and in the postwar period.

New Aggression
 May Lurk Behind Red Negotiations

WASHINGTON, (R) - Wary lawmakers cautioned today that new Communist aggression may be lurking behind seeming Red willingness to negotiate a cease fire in Korea. t
 Senator Lodge R-MasS told a reporter he fears the current man. euvering by the Reds at Kaesong might be only an effort to throw United Nations forces off guard for, an attack on Europe in Au- gust.
 "We must watch this thing care- fully" Lodge said. eff they were planning an attack in Europe or to move Chinese Communist troops against Indo-China, the cease-fire move would be just the sort of thing they would attempt"
 He said he doesn't believe the U. N. should settle for a cease-fire at the 38th parallel, as the Reds have proposed. He joined Senator Dougles O-IlD in proposing that the narrow neck of the Korean Peninsula, about 100 miles north of the 38th, be made the dividing line.

Bristol Bay Fishermen May Be Granted
 Additional Fishing Time

ANCHORAGE, (P - A pos sibility that the mid-week closure on salmon fishing at Bristol Bay might be relaxed for the rest of the season appeared today.
 Ward Baltzo, assistant regional director of the Fish and Wildlife Service, commented: "Bristol Bay is reported to have developed a very good run in the past week. Depending on the number of es- opponents, it may be that addi- ti0nal hours of fishing are justi- fled"
 He said the packers had asked additional fishing time in view of the early season labor strike.

Chamber Meeting Hears Otto Ceist

The Chamber of Commerce meet ing Tuesday night was high-lighted by a most interesting talk pre- sented by Otto Geist, well-known archeologist from the University of Alaska.
 In his very impressive talk MT. Geist stressed very highly the necessity of Nome's taking steps to secure a permanent exhibits building to house the wealth of regional anthropological and ar chaeological specimens. These in clude articles of stone, ivory, wood, bone and the rich deposits of fossil ivory culture-not only what we have produced in the past years, but also what we will produce in the future.
 MT. Geist stated that in this trip he will make an investigation Of the area the other side of the Cape and especially of that DOT ton we know as "the Nook.
 MT. Geist asserted also that the University is eager to make this step and is willing to share such finds as are duplicates from our section and St. Lawrence Island; but in regard to any future ex- cavations the policy of the Uni versity is to go 50-50 on all that is found in our section.
 MT. Geist feels that Nome should not pass up this recommendation lightly, as he considers this field of endeavor very essential and valuable. Lack of a permanent exhibits collection would be re- gretted by ourselves and by pos terity.

Backs Trunan's Request For $lO Billion Tax Hike

WASHINGTON, (P) = T h e American Federation of Labor got behind the Truman administra- tion's request for $10 billion of new taxes today and proposed $6, 400, 100000 to $7,OOO, 100000 be raised from increases in individ- ual income taxes to hit particu- larly at those with larger incomes.
 The proposal was advanced by Arthur Elder, AFL tax consult ant, in testimony to the tax-writ- ing Senate Finance Committee. His plan would hike individual income levies by more than double the $2,85O, 100000 increase in a House-passed $7,200,0O0,O00 revenue-raising bill.
 The plan of the big labor organ ization ran directly counter to sug- gestions of business groups. These have urged that the House bill be changed so that personal income tax increases would hit harder at lower income levels.
 The Committee for Economic Development, an organization of businessmen, took this view in testimony yesterday. It said more taxes should be siphoned out of the lower income groups as an anti-inflationary measure.

Predicts SOviets Will Instigate New Crisis

MOSCOW, R-Diplomatic ob- servers stationed here are predict ing new crises in Western-Soviet relations-possibly a new Berlin crisis-over the Vests moves on the German and Japanese ques- tions.
 Some observers here said that if the Western powers follow up the action ending their state of war with Germany by moving toward a separate German treaty, they may make their position in Berlin most difficult, if not untenable.
 They add there is almost sure to be some way in which the So- viets could retaliate for actions they are certain to denounce as violations of international under standings.
 As for the Western plans for a peace treaty with Japan, Moscow newspapers are saying that the Chinese people-meaning the Chi nesey Communist government = will "never permit the resurrec- ton of a Japanese militarism. :" They are charging that the move toward a Japanese treaty is part of a plan to remilitarize Japan.

PROBE: The Wedemeyer. View

THE Senate committee of in
i quiry into the custer of Gen.
Macarthur has set up a seven
man subcommittee to determine
future witnesses and set a target
date for ending the probe.
Sen. Richard B. Russell (D-Ga),
who presides over the hearings of the
joint Senate Armed Services and
Foreign Relations Committees, heads
the subcommittee on future wit
nesses.
The subcommittee evolved as a
substitute for motion by Sen. Lester
Hunt (D-Wyo) that the hearings end
June 80. The motion drew unanimous
opposition from Republican members.
Wedemeyer on Stand
1t. Gen. Albert c. Wedemeyer was
the eighth witness behind closed
doors in the Senate caucus room in
Washington. Before he came to the
stand, testimony totaled more than
100000 words, plus many thousands
more in appended documents.
Gen. Wedemeyer was the first wit
ness who supported some of the poll
cies advocated by Macarthur. His
testimony at times supported the Adj
ministration and at others its Repub-
ican critics.
Old China Hand
Gen. Wedemeyer, SIS, is an old hand
in the Far East. World War II COM
mander in the China theater succeed
ing Gen Joseph StilWell, he was later
deputy Army chief of staff for plan
Sixth Army with headquarters at
San Francisco. He has asked to be
retired.
Gen. Wedemeyer recommended that
this country withdraw from Korea,
break off relations with Russia and
go into full mobilization. If the de-
cision is to stay in Korea, he said,
u. S. forces should bomb Communist
China and blockade her ports-alone
if necessary.
This policy, he admitted, might in
crease the risk of outright war with
Russia but, he said, it was a calcu-
lated risk that should be taken.
Psychological Defeat
In Asia's eyes what already has
happened, he said, is that the military
first team" of the United States has
been so kicked around by the third
team" of the Russians, North Koreans
and Red Chinese, that for practical
purposes it amounts to a defeat.
Wedemeyer declared. the President
had the right even the duty, to recall
or break any field commander not
responsive to high policy. Neverthe-
less, he supported MacArthur's COM
plants that he had been unreasonably
restricted by allied objections to mill

DRESIDENT TRUMAN has
4 gone to the nation in his CAM
paign to get from Congress new
and stronger economic controls.
What he wants is a two-year
extension of the Defense Produc-
ton Act, plus added anti-infation
powers, the President said in a coast
to-coast broadcast. The Act, authoriz-
ing all current economic controls is
due to expire June 80.
IF we let imitation run away with
us" the President has said, ''the Rus
slams will have won the cold war
without firing shot"
Stronger Curbs
Mr.. Truman wants stronger curbs
on prices, credit, rents and strategic
materials. Some lawmakers agree
with organizations which insist THAI
price and wage controls are not
needed.
House and. Senate banking COM
mittees conferred behind closed doors
on proposed drafts Of the bill.
One crux of the dispute is the roll
back on beef prices, which aroused
opposition ct the cattlemen.
The pinch began to be felt by the
public. Meat markets in some areas
were without beef for the first time
since the last war Many restaurants
were without the expensive beef cuts
that once featured their menus.
Beefs About Beef
Spokesman for the cattle industry
denied that beef trust" was con-
Quoting strike" against the Ameri-
cen housewife by withholding cattle
from the market
One explained the shortage was
caused by five million individual
farmers making up their minds as to
whether the American people want
meat or not A Spokesman for con-
sumers charged the shortage was
artificial" and that meant producers
were "racketeering."

Seizure of the Chorwon and
Kumhwa base points of the Iron Tri-
angle by the First Corps-a composite

the communist defense line.
The triangle is of major importance
not only because of the immense
quantity of supplies stored there but
because it is the key to the North
Korean transport system. All high
way anG rail lines converge there.
Defense in Depth
There was ample evidence of the
value the Reds placed on the Tri-
angle. There they built chain of
fixed positions-pillboxes and gun bo-
sitionS.
The Reds. however, have not COM
mitted anywhere near their available

Leopold 10 Step Down

Leopold to Step Down
King Leopold III will abdicate the
Belgian throne on July 16. The next
day the Brussels Parliament will
meet in joint session for the corona
ton of his eldest son, bespectacled
Prince BaudOin.
Thus will end the ill-starred saga
of Leopold whose subjects could not
forget that he surrendered his armies
to the invading Nazis in World War
II. For six years Leopold lived in
self-imposed exile in Switzerland,
hoping for the storm to blow over.
Last July Leopold gained a bare
majority of his subjects votes in a
plebiscite but whole sections of the
country voted almost solidly against
him. Never, they vowed, could Leo
pold be called King of all the Bel
gians.
The country was on the verge Of
civil war. Finally the King agreed to
transfer his powers to his slim bach
elor son. Last August Baudoin took
the Regents oath before Parliament.
He was scheduled to ascend the
throne on his 21st birthday, Septem-

The Prince Royal spent most Of his
life abroad and had little instruction

Promotions
President Truman has cited for
judicial promotion the man who pros
ecuted Alger Hiss and the judge who
presided over the long trial of the IL
top American Communists.
The first is Thomas F. Murphy,
New York City police commissioner,
nominated as a federal judge in the
Southern District of New York.
The second is Federal District
Judge Harold R. Medina for promo
ton to the u S. Circuit Court of
Appeals.
Judge Medina, SO. whose conduct
of the stormy nine-months trial of
the Communist leaders, has been
called exemplary, was named for the
post made vacant by the retirement
of Judge Learned Hand.
A fortnight ago the Supreme Court
upheld the convictions and consiitu-
tionality of the Smith Act under
which IL were sentenced for conspir-
ing tc teach violent overthrow of the
government.
Murphy, loot 4, WalruS-mustached
and A, has been one of New York's
most colorful police commissioners
since Theodore Roosevelt.
AS an assistant. U. S. Attorney in
New York, Murphy was the govern
ment prosecutor in the two perjury
trials of Hiss, former high-ranking
State Department official. The first
jury failed to reach an agreement
but the second convicted Hiss of lying
under oath in denying he passed State
Department secrets to a prewar Com
munist spy ring.
Hiss now is serving a fve-year
prison term.
