Truce Talks Go Informal
Reds May Relax De- mand-FormdIity Drops Off Subcommittee

MUNSAN, Korea, Aug. 17-tRl- Truce talks moved into new and informal phase today as Allies and Reds sought to break their long impasse over a demarcation line.
 Negotiators created small sub committee to try to untangle the snarl over where a demarcation line should be drawn between opposing armies.
 The change in tactics came amid growing, but cautious, optimism the Reds may be willing to com- promise on their demand fer demiIitarized zone back along the 38th parallel. The Allies want it right where they are now, along the present battlefront in defen- sible terrain.
 The subcommittee, consisting of two delegates from each side, was created yesterday. It will hold its first meeting at pm, today, Ju-
 
 Its members will meet informally in Kaesong where formal, full dress negotiations have been locked over this same point for more than three weeks.
 The JUN. command said it will issue no coAmuniques during these meetings. And the press will not be briefed on what happened. The purpose is to allow the ne- gctiatOrs complete freedom in try ing to find a satisfactory recom- mendation.
 There was no indication how long the problem might be in the hands Of the subcommittee.

The W Washington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

SOMEWHERE NEAR THE CZECHOSLOVAK BORDER. = Anyone who thinks it's easy to launch freedom m-friendship ball. oons across the Iron Curtain has another guess coming. Once the balloons are in the air, nature and the fact that winds of freedom blow from West to East" take care of the rest. But the real job is getting them into the air.
 And that boils down to assemb- ling hydrogen, tanks to put it in, trucks to haul it in, German workers to fill the balloons with hydrogen and, on top of all this, keeping the operation secret from the curious German population which loves intrigue. The man who deserves the chief credit for over coming these headaches is Harry Andrews and the Dewey and Amy Rubber Company, who, without knowing a word of German, ca joled, coaxed and wheedled nearly one thousand hydrogen tanks from firms all over Germany, collected them all in one place and got them filled with hydrogen. It takes so much hydrogen to carry 15 mil

7-Year-0Id Cloak and Dagger Killing Solved; Prosecution Bumped

Icardi denied any part in the kill ing.
 The Defense Department said it and the Justice Department have been boring over the iawbooks seeking a way to prosecute Icardi anu LoDolce m tnls country, ana it added: '"All possibilities have now been exhausted and it ap- pears that the only hope of pros ecution lies with action by the Italian courts"
 The Italian Embassy declined comment on whether it would seek to have the two men sent back to Italy for trial.
 They cannot be tried by civil courts here, since the staying the Department accused them of took place outside the U. S., and they are beyond reach of mili- tary courts because both have been discharged from service.
 Dropped in Water
 The Department said the death of Holohan occurred on the night of Dec. 6, 1944. It said that after the major was killed, his body was tied up in a weighted sleeping bag and dropped into 30 feet of water in Lake Orta in the Alps near Trieste.
 It declared that two Italians who were attached to the mission, under intelligence officers ques- tioning a year ago last June "fi- nally broke down and told the real story of what happened to Major Holohan."
 The Department said LoDolce, later located in Rochester, final ly confessed and wrote out a statement" which cooroborated that of the two Italians.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 16 -R-- A cold-bloooed deuce of spades" killing of an American cloak-and- dagger officer behind enemy lines in Italy seven years ago has been solved, the Defense Department said yesterday.
 The Department declared Maj. William V. Holohan, then 40. was killed by two fellow American ser vicemen with the aid of two Ital- ians. All were attached to an of flee of strategic services (OSS) mission parachuted into enemy territory to get the low-down on partisan guerrilla bands.
 One of the former U s. service men denied any connection with the killing; the other withheld comment.
 Two Named
 Named by the Department as the principles in the case were:
 Aldo Icardi, then 2S-year- old lieutenant, formerly of Pitts burgh but now employed in New York City. The Department said in a formal mimeOgraphed an- nouncement that Icardi matched the plot in a disagreement with HoIohan over how much arms aid to give to Communist part iSa,ns.
 Carl G. LoDOlce, then ser- geant, from Rochester, N. Y. The Department said LODolce "drew the two of spades" and thus got the assignment of shooting Hol- ohan when Icardi decided poi son given him earlier might not be effective.

KODIAK, Alaska, Aug. 16--R- Burned out wreckage of a Navy pa- trol bomber which apparently car- ried 12 men to their death was due to be reached late today on bleak Amak Island of the Alaska Penin- sula.

Haines Dock May Close; Owner Unable 10 Sell
FROM ASTORIA Adolph Lindstrom of Astoria, Ore, is at the Baranof Hotel

The Haines steamer dock may be closed in the near future, it was an- nounced today by Peter Wood, Ju- neau real estate agent attempting to sell the property for Ed Koenig, the owner.
 Koening, who is to enter the armed services Aug. 27, will not be able to keep the dock open, Wood said. Several buyers are consider ing purchase. he said, but negotia- tions are moving too slowly" to meet the date.
 A telegram from the owner in Seattle to Wood ordered him to flock her up."
 The dock is in need of repairs. Ac- cording to shippers, closing will af- feet unloading of freight destined for shipment over the Haines Cut off to the Interior. One Juneau shipper declared it would tie up his operation seriously.
 Dock Building
 A contract has been let by the U s. Army Engineers for the construc- ton of large army dock at Lutak Cove. few miles north of Haines Work has started but it will be many months before it is complet- ed.
 Wood took a dim view of the army permitting its dock to be used by civilians and said:
 "The army was interested in let ting the public use it's proposed dock at Whittier. When the money was assured and the dock built, it was closed to any but army use. We predict the same for Haines. If we have to close the Haines dock now there is a certain per- iod of several months that no boat unIoadings will be possible. We have kept it open this long out deference to the welfare of the citizens of Haines and the welfare of the Haines cutoff traffic"
 Information received by the AL aska Development Board regarding the use of the army dock that the movement of civilian freight over it would be permitted.
 Will Permit Use
 The letter received from Col. Everett L. Upson, chief of staff, U. s. Army of Alaska, at Fort Richardson qualified the state ment with: At the present time 1t Is contemplated that under normal peace time conditions, movement of freight over the dock will be permitted"
 The local Alaska Steamship Go office said that $50 tons of freight were unloaded by the freightel Sailors Splice there last week. Henry Green, agent, said that 1T event of closing. it would be possible to lighter freight ashore or it might be possible that cannery dock al Letnikof Cove could be used.

Final Peace .1reatyDraff
 Made Public

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16-R-The United States and Britain made public today their final draft of a peace treaty with Japan. It makes clear Japanese obligations to pay partial separations to Allied coun- tries devastated during the war.
 Russia has bitterly denounced the American British sponsored draft and is reported ready to wage an all-out propaganda battle against it at the treaty conference opening Sept. 4 in San Francisco.
 Despite this, the State Depart ment confidently expects the over whelming majority of 5o-plus Allied countries will sign the pact at the meeting.
 The latest draft. the third. makes it clear Japan's present financial difficulties rule out complete repar- ations to any country.
 This reparations provision however has been softened in language some what to please the Philippines which threatened to boycott the San Francisco meeting because they felt they were entitled to big war damages from the Japanese.
 The rest of the changes in the 6,500 word draft are minor. These were included in answer to com ments and suggestions from friend ly governments.
 No changes, as far as could be learned. were made to appease Rus sia's vehement objections.
 Red China Refuses TOKYO. Aug. --4R-Commun- ist China announced today it will refuse to recognize the forthcom- ing Japanese peace conference which it charged was called under Unite States "compulsion."
 Red China was not invited to the conference opening Sept. at San Francisco. Neither was Nationalist China, although it is recognized by the United States.
 Red China's expected position was made known in a long statement by Communist premier and foreign minister Chou En-Lai. The state- ment was broadcast by the Peiping radio.
