Chinese Force Recess Senate Group 10 Study
AS U. N. Bans Talk Of Plans This Week For
Withdrawal In Farley Action in 0atis Case
Sessions Called Off Till

From Peipine Awaited
BY the Assoeioted Press

ADVANCE U. N. HEADQUAR-
TIERS. Korea. Sunday, July 22.-
Firm Allied refusal to discuss
Withdrawing troops from Korea
at this time caused the Chinese
Reds yesterday to call a recess
in the armistice talks until We'd
nesday.
An American briefing officer
saiG the Allied refusal to talk of
troop withdrawal at present was
made with "a certain air of
finality"-expressed more in an
attitude than in actual words.
The Chinese, who hitherto have
sJudiously let the North Koreans
lead the Red side of the Kaesong
bargaining. promptly stepped In
and braked the cease-flre talks to
a halt until July Is.
They obviously wanted to ask
Peiping what to do next.
Joy Reluctantly Agrees.
Vice Admiral c. Turner JOY
chief Allied delegate, who voiced
the U. N. attitude, agreed with
some reluctance to the Red re-
quest for the recess.
He said he felt the two sides
already had full agenda to dis
cuss without the troop withdrawal
subject, considered by the Allies
a political topic,
Admiral Joy told the Reds he
saw no useful purpose in the re-
cess.
He asked their liaison officers
to keep in contact with those of
the Allies in hopes the talks could
be resumed sooner than Wednes-
day.
The Reds agreed to keep in
touch, but indicated some or all
OF their five delegates would go
back the more than 100 miles to
the North Korean capital of
Pyongyang. That would entail
about a days journey over a bomb
blasted highway and a second day
for the return.
Should Peiping's decision be
continued war, Allied sources say
the Reds already have replace
ments in line sufficient to launch
a 300,000-man offensive as they
did last April. That and a subse-
quent offensive were bled to a halt
by heavy Red losses.
Veterans in Reinforcements.
In Taipeh, the pro-Nationalist
China Union Press said the Red
reinforcements include veteran
troops belonging to the 18th Army

First Court Ruling Upholds
Plaintiff In Old Litigation
Over Lundgard Property

The first legal round in the
long court contest over vacating
of an old Perry Street right-of-
way, former railroad strip and
the property now occupied by the
Lundgard Mill, has been won by
the plaintiff, John Zetzer, it was
announced Saturday.
In a decision handed down last
week by Judge Soleleather, of
Bowling Green, he ruled that an
ordinance passed by the village
in 1883 recognizing railroad
right of way as open property was
valid.
Leslie Meyer, counsel for the
defendants, Marvin and John
Lundgard, declared there is no
question as far as the defense is
concerned, about the vacating Of
a strip between Monroe Street
and the railroad boundaries, "but
it does not have the effect Of
opening the street"
Meyer told the NEWS today
that the courts decision will be
taken before a court of appeals,
and will probably come up for a
review shortly after the first of
the year.
The courts opinion in effect,
ruled that the ancient ordinance
did vacate the railroad right-of-
way, which at that time paralleled
what is now Perry Street. The
court holds that the ordinance
was valid.
Meyer stated that the defense
opinion is that while the vacation
status is recognized, "it does not
have the effect of opening the
street.
The case has been pending for
a number of years. The plaintiff
