|Newsmen's Tour Indicates
Reds Follow u. N. Demands

The candy was gone in few Sec
onds. From then on we hao
nothing but smiles to offer.
Still the children followeds us.
The crowd was growing at every
moment. There must have been
at least 100 by the time we reached
the market place and the first
MP. He was a North Korean in
a dirty brown uniform with a
Russian-made tommygun on his
back. q
He gave US only an impaSSive
look as we strolled past, smiling.
The main street was lined on
both sides by Western style build
ingS. All were war-damaged and
most of them completely gutted.
Youngsters Don't Beg.
In few blocks more we reached
the farmers market. Women
dressed in white and a few men
were selling farm produce
squash, cucumbers, greens, rice,
long string beans, and some kind
of root kept in a pan Of water.
Here the children turned out i'll
new droves. Our following
doubled.
They did not beg for food.
Most of them looked well enough
Some were even as well dressed
as American children might be
on a hot summers day barefoot,
in short pants and blue shirt.
The adults were not SO happy
looking. But many bowed, smiled
and even waved cautiously. There
were some traces of hunger on
the adult faces.
Soldiers Snap Pictures.
At one of the ancient city gates
where fire had burned away the
wooden pagoda-like tower and
sent a huge bronze bell crashing
10 the ground, Chinese soldiers
their cameras at us from
heir perch on a stone wall.
When we climbed up to them,
hey smiled, but turned away and
would not fraternize.
All told, in about a one-hour
stroll we saw less than so Commu-
1ist soldiers.
None carried weapons except the
lalf dozen or so military police
men who sported red and yellow
shoulder boards, red piping on
heir baggy trousers and a red star
On their caps.

KAESoNG. Korea. July To-
From all appearances, the Reds
are complying fully with Allied
demands for a neutral ease-flre
site.
When the United Nations dele
cation travelled here today for the
fourth day of peace talks, there
were no armed soldiers along the
route. There were no armed
guards at the conference site.
The only men we saw with guns
were a few military police in Kae-
song.
One American Army officer and
four Allied newSmen walked up
and down the main street for more
than an hour without incident.
Many of the Chinese and North
Korean soldiers smiled or bowed
Slightly to courteous greetings
from us.
Some scowled.
We were like five Pied Pipers.

The five of us were Capt. John
I. Dickson, jr., an Army public in
formation officer from Tokyo;
Ronald Bachelor of Reuters, Fred
Sparks of the Chicago Daily News,
Frank Robertson of the Christian

Nobody gave us permission to
visit downtown Kaesong.
At first we saw no one after
leaving the conference house, on
the slope of hill in what was
the better part of town before
aircraft and artillery hit Kaesong.
We wandered down a dirt road
toward town.
The first thing we saw were
the children.
They came up to as by the
score-grinning. but not begging
or shouting "Shine-shine" or "chop,

south who have come to know the

Candy Soon Gone.
No one in the group had any
sweets except Mr.. Bachelor. He
doled out pieces one by one to the
who came running like
hungry chickens in a hen yard.

Port Clinton's new ferry boat,
the Erie Isle, which will be put
in service next April between this
city and Put-in-Bay, arrived at the

COUNTY ADVISORY BOARD
Rejects ERIE GARDENS 20
PERCENT RENT hike PROPOSAL

More than score of Erie Gar
dens residents, under the leader
ship Of George Freeh, won sup
port of the Ottawa county rent
advisory board in their protest
against a proposed 20 percent in
crease in rent, at a meeting held
in city hall Saturday night.
The government controlled
housing project was represented
by Mrs. Doris Ref, acting mana
ger, in the absence of James
Squlres, manager, who is i'll.
There was no representative of
the Gardens from the Chicago Of
fee of the federal housing admin
istration which controls the local
project.
The rent advisory board, COM
prised of Judge Tom Stahl, Gen
Ga, chairman; DR.. Robert Bolte,
Oak Harbor, and Jack Boysen, Ge-
noa, called on Paul Decker, area
rent control director, of Toledo,
to take steps to revoke the pro-
posed raise of Erie Gardens unit
rentals.
The board, after brief deliber-
alton, ruled against rent increas-
es on grounds that maintenance
service has decreased over the
past 10 years; existing rentals are
higher than comparable prevail
ing rates, and properties under
consideration have shown deteri-
Grafton out of line of the propos-
ed rent hikes.
During the hearing it was re-
vealed that there are only two
maintenance men now taking care
of 297 units.
Mrs. Ref said the government
had failed to provide sufficient
budget to take care of all main
tenance problems facing manage
ment of the Gardens.
She also pointed out that back
in 1914 when rent tables were set
up, they were not adequate or in
legal amounts, and that later ad-
iustments we're made. There has
never been an increase, there
FORE. she said. Gin view of the
adjustments that were in order" "
Askes questions to specific data
on earnings from Gardens rent
ais, the budget etc. Mrs. Ref said
she was not at liberty to disclose
such information without sanction
of the Chicago office.
Unofficial figures furnished by
Decker disclosed that rental reve-
nues amounted to $120,000 annu-
ally, as against a maintenance
budget of $4,000 per year.
Tenants complained of sagging
foundation conditions, poor plumb
ing maintenance and yard upkeep.
The proposed rent raise provid-
ed a maximum rate of $51 per
month for three-bedroom units in
the Gardens.
