Ready 10 Expose 'TerIniies' Says Demo Chairman

NEW YORK, Nov. 27-R-D Demo- cratic National Chairman Frank F. Mckinney says he and President Truman are ready to help expose and punish the few" political 'termites" in government.
 Tn my opinion" Mckinney adds "99 9/10, percent of, those en- trusted with public office are hon. est and incorruptible."
 He describes the others as "the termites we shall always have with us" and continues.
 The only way to deal with ter mites is to keep sharp watch for them and get rid of them when- ever they show up. That is just what the Democratic party is do- ing"
 McKinney's comments were made last night in his first major speech since becoming national chairman oct 31. He addressed a $100-a- plate banquet of the Democratic National Committee.
 President Truman sent the diners a message appealing for prepara- tions that will make the Democratic party strong morally. strong in enthusiasm and strong in the ma terial resources that will be needed for a hard-fought campaign"

Supervision Problems Develop After Cease Fire Line Agreed On

MUNSAN, Korea, Nov. 27--R- Truce negotiators signed a cease fire line agreement today and im- mediately developed two vital dif- ferences on how to supervise an armistice in Korea.
 United Nations delegates insisted on:
 l. Joint Allied Communist ins- pection teams with free access to all parts of Korea"
 2. Provision against military buildups by either side.
 Neither point was included in plan proposed by the Reds. who have never permitted outsiders in Communist Korea.
 The differences developed in a session described by the top Allied negotiator as short and sweet"
 The full five-man negotiating teams-ail in full dre8 except for two drably clad Chinese gen. erals-approved . cease-fire line agreement opening the way for an armistice within 30 days. Then they plunged into the next truce question. That is supervision of an armistice. Each presented its own ideas.
 The two plans were in general agreement on four points: CD shoot ing to stop when an armistice is signed; t2) a joint commission to supervise the truce; ts) all forces to withdraw from the buffer zone and enemy territory after the arrnistice is signed, and @ armed troops to stay out of the buffer zone.
 Vice Adm. O. Turner Joy, chief LIN delegate. presented the seven- point Allied plan after hearing the Communist suggestions.
 i've, started tthA baN rolinR by. telling the Communists their pru- posal wasn't broad enough on the general principles dor supervision). Then we gave them an idea of what we wanted"
 The Communists asked for an adjournment until Il am Wednes- day t6 pm. Tuesday, PSID to study the LIN plan.
 Fighting quieted along the frozen l45-mile front as the full five- man truce teams met for the first time since October 25. But the air war flared with two deadly jet battles. Allied air forces reported one U. s. Shooting Star and four Red jets were shot down. and two Red planes damaged.

S100 Million Spent for Taft Says Opponent

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27 IR = Joseph T. Ferguson contended today that spending to re-elect Senator Taft (R-Ohio) in 1850 could be figured at Sl0o,0oo,OOo using the same approacht Taft did in putting costs of the Ferguson campaign at $2,000,000.
 Ferguson, Democrat who lost the election to Taft by 430,000 votes, fired back from the witness chair of a Senate Elections sub committee at many of the state ments Taft made from the same seat yesterday.
 A peppery little man, known as Jumping Joe" in Ohio, Ferguson said it was a deliberate lie" that the Democratic campaign was blue printed by a Communist by the name of Hall" Taft had said that Communist Gus Hall wrote an ar ticle in a Communist magazine which "blueprinted" the fight against his reelection.
 Ferguson commented: "The only Communist or ex-COm- munist = who came into Ohio that l know of-was Ben Gitlow who made several speeches for MT. Taft"
 AS for Taft's charge of carpet baggers" ut-of-staters) engaging in the campaign Ferguson said there were plenty on Taft's side He ticked off the names of Sena- tor whelry (R-Neb), Republican Natl nal Committee Chairman Guy Gab. ielson, movie actor Adolphe Menjou, Harold Stassen, Senator Byrd (D-Va) and Senator Mo- Carthy (R-Wis).
 No- contest is involved in the present hearing. The elections subcommittee is hearing testi- mony on the basis that it may be helpful in developing improved election laws. Each side in the Ohio contest charged the other with excessive spending.
 Taft was not prss0i1s ssss ' T q ssl'sss | :. LOT testified. He is in North Carolina on a speaking tour. Jack Martin his administrative assistant, sat be- hind the committee and listened to the testimony.
