The w ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

 WASHINGTON, The law partners of Louis Johnson, former Secretary of Defense, and the relatives of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek have just been caught shipping strategic tin to Communist China despite the fact that both John son and the Chiang family have been urging all-out American aid to nationalist China on the Island of Formosa.
 The tin shipments totalled l23 tons, which is tremendous amount of this strategic metal. This quantity definitely went to the Communists in Tientsin in 1949 un- der an invalid license. An addition al 90 tons of tin was sent to Shanghai through phony license in the spring of 1949 and probably went to the Communists also though this is not definite.
 The shipments were so carefully camouflaged by false representa- tions and qualifications that it took some time for Secretary of Com merce Sawyer to discover the tin shipments. However, he has now

Connie Proposal Taken
 Up by Ridgway, Also - Chiefs of Staff

WASHINGTON, July 2 = lR = The U. S. Joint Chiefs of Staff and Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway exchang- ed messages today on the Commu- mist proposal for Korean armistice talks at Kaesong after July 10. An early reply to the Communists pre- sumably was taking shape.
 At the same time, Secretary of Defense Marshall advised Congress there would be no rush to bring U. 5. troops home from the Far Pacific in the event Korean armistice is negotiated.
 Marshall made the statement in urging the House Foreign Affairs committee to act quickly on the ad- ministration's request for $8,500,- 900 0OO for foreign military and eco homie aid.
 Messages Are Secret
 Responsible officials, who said a
 
 series of messages had passed be- tween Ridgway and the joint chiefs, gave no hint of what was said in them.
 The fact of the consultations pointed, however to a possible re- ply within hours to the Communists. A likely time might be the early evening hours of tonight, Washing ton time. Because of the time dif- ference, nightfall in Washington is Tuesday morning in Tokyo.
 No objections have been voiced to Kaesong one of the few places the Communists now hold south of the 38th Parallel as a meeting place.
 Top officials have made plain they would like to have an earlier date. There was no sign however whether Ridgway has been advised to pro- pose this.
 The LIN commander has full au- thority for dealing with the Com munist proposal but has been kept in close touch all along. with the Capital.
 Tn addition to the military con- sultations, there was continued dip lomatic activity.
 Secretary of State Acheson went over the Korean developments with his top advisors at staff meeting during the morning. Later e went to the White House for review o1 foreign issues with President Tru- man. The President has been kept in close touch with all developments and regularly meets with Achesor on Mondays.

REDS CLAIM IN KOREAN WAR
Use Strong Language in Broadcast; Place, Time
 Sci for Talk

lOhfO, July ---lH1-- Red Korea tonight urged it's soldiers to fight on while the world waited for news of an expected armistice.
 Pyongyang radio repeated Chinese and North Korean acceptance of LIN proposal for cease-f firing talks.
 But the Reds made this clear: They are claiming victory in the year-old conflict.
 The North Korean Communist station started each broadcast with this statement:
 The American aggressors have at last realized failure of their sinister attempt and that is why they are seeking peace"
 Between news items the Com munist announcers inserted these statements:
 Savage Broadcasts
 Soldiers on the front. fight brave- ly and continue annihilation of ag- gressors." and "anti-aircraft batter ies, aim sharp and increase the bag of enemy intruders.~
 Japanese radio monitors, who heard the Red broadcasts, said the Communist tone was even stronger than usual.
 Peiping radio repeated the text of the Communist acceptance state- ment last night.
 Cease Fire Discussion
 The Reds first announced oyer the two stations Sunday night that they are willing to meet LIN repre- sentatives and discuss a cease-fire They want the meeting held in the Kaesong. area between July 10 and IS.
 Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway, su- preme Allied commander. had pro- posed Saturday that meeting be held aboard the Danish hospital ship Jutlandia in Wonsan harbor. He said he would propose date, If the Reds agreed to the meeting. Ridgway has not indicated his re- action to the Red acceptance mes- sage.
 Agree to Reds
 It is presumed, however. that the LIN will agree to the Reds proposed place and time.
 Diplomatic circles in Washington said Rtdgway already has his full instructions and authority to deal with the Communists.
 The world talked of peace, but it. was business as usual" on the fighting lines.
 There were bitter ground skir- mishes at scattered points.
 Allied warplanes threw another heavy blow at the Hwangju airfield north of Sariwon in the northwest. Other planes hit supply centers, rail and road lines. bridges, troop con- centrations and gun positions
 B-29 Superforts hit military bar racks at Hungnam on the east coast.
 LIN naval forces continued to blockade and pound the North Kor- can east coast.
 Heaviest ground fighting of the day apparently was on the Western front. An Allied patrol stormed a hill north of Yongchon. The foot troops killed B Reds and captured four. The Allies withdrew and called down an air and artillery barrage. Another 30 to 10 Reds were killed or wounded.

rainbow of 1lues, in silk chiffon
IT Is not just a neck kerchief but
a dress accessory when used
cleverly.
Almost any good basic dress
can take on a different character
through the addition of handker-
chiefs. Take last years sheath

loop it over a ribbon about your
neck in double jabot. This can
also be done with suits and jackets,
to fill in the neckline. Any num-
ber of different squares, printed
or plain, may be worn this way.
A soft bodice consisting of two
I20-inch squares may be tied right
on over your sheath. With one
square for the front and one for
the back, knot the ends on the
shoulders, so that you have a boat
Ineckline, then roll the surplus fab
ric into the waistline if the squares
ARE too long. and knot the sides
so that you have snug fit through
the waist. Squares may match or
you may have a harlequin effect,
front and back different.
Peplums and panels are easy to
do. Add a belt with a jeweled
buckle if the dress is not belted.
Slip the buckle to the side and
let two or three 20-inch squares
float by the corners from it. Or
put the buckle in the back and

in little ruff1e over the belt.
Another good trick with a belt
is to tuck several small squares,
alike or in different colors, under a
velvet ribbon or belt. to make a
full, flaring peplum. Have it in
front only, or in the back, too.
if you sew the squares to the rib
bon so they will not fall out.
A soft effect can be made by
folding a square into a triangle
and putting it on as an apron.
folding it in pleats in the front
or pulling it tight and plain,
whichever is more becoming.
This is but a start. Arm your
self with a handful of handker-
chefs and have fun trying them
out in different ways. You'll be
surprised at the smart results.
