French Author Rejects
Top Literary Prize
By the Associated Press

PARIS. Dec. 3.-The top French
literary prize was awarded today
Ito a 41-year-old history professor,
who promptly rejected it.
A jury Of distinguished writer's
gave the "Prix Goncourt"-French
equivalent of the Pulitzer prize
to Louis Poirier for a novel Of
fantasy entitled "Rivage Des
jSyrtes" Banks of Quicksand) He
wrote it under the name of Julien
Gracq.
Only worth 5000 francs ($15)
in cash, the prize is far more val
liable than that in publicity and
prestige. Mr.. Poirier is against
literary prizes, however, and said
ia week ago he wouldn't accept the
prize. even if it were offered him.
Not long ago he wrote a violent
Iattack on literary prizes. called
literature of the stomach" To-
day he repeated: II cannot do

complete, continuing inspections
over all of Korea.
Even limited inspection would
represent an about face on the
part Of the Communists.
AS far back as 1948 the Russians
refused to allow United Nations
election teams to cross the 38th
parallel to supervise free balloting
| in North Korea. Mondays move
by the Reds was believed to be
the first communist offer to give
outsiders look at their military
installations since the Iron Cur
tain was rung down after World
War II.
II the negotiators could agree on
inspections behind the lines and
a ban on either side building up
its armed strength presumably
the way would be cleared for
settlement of agenda item -
supervision of the truce.
Then the delegates could move
on to the next big problem -
reaching agreement on how to
exchange prisoners of war.

Willingness to honor a. cease fire.
Avoid All Casualties.
"The policy will be:
l. Avoid all casualties.
2. Demonstrate willingness to
honor a cease fire.
3. Maintain present defensive
positions.
4. Reconnaissance patrols only
will be sent out.
S. Avoid engaging the enemy
unless he threatens our positions
by fire or movement.
6. No offensive operatives, in
Icluding radios.
7. Artillery and mortar fire will
be limited to counter-battery
only.
8. Defensive fire will be only
against enemy attack including
concentrations Of enemy troops
threatening our positions OF
against fire in support of a
counterattack.
8. No exposure of our own
troops on features that would
draw enemy fire.
New Directive Issued.
This correspondent has reason
to believe these same orders were
handed down to all front-line
troops in Korea.
The above presumed orders were
followed by new directives issued
November 20. This correspondent
was informed the following is a
paraphrase Of the new directive
issued to the same battalion:
To avoid misunderstanding, the
policy will be:
/. Method-Present forward de-
fense localities will be maintained.
Offensive and defensive action as
necessary to maintain them will
be continued.
2. Notwithstanding will be
confined to aggressive reconnais-
Sance patrols.
3. Artillery-Enemy fire will be
retaliated in the ratio of five to
one. Harrassing and counter
battery fire will be on known gun
positions and enemy locations
Enemy in the open will be en-
gagged but suspected enemy move
ments will not be engaged.
4. Our own positions will con-
tinue to be improved.
5, All normal precautions will
still apply.

that actions speak louder thar

Sooner or later, simply by tria
and error, the Communists are
going to discover those four point:
as clearly as if Gen. James A
Van Fleet had sent a copy to Gen
Kim II Sung.
When that happens, granted
that the Communists want 8
se-flre as much as they say
they do, an easy and pleasant
calm should settle over the front
which already is operating at re-
duced tempo.
At that point, the soldiery OF
both sides, the vast number oil

Point to One Solution.
In these last five days the Com
munists, who claim to be clever
folk, should have been able to
note some facts and make some
deductions:
/. Allied infantry has gone into
action only when attacked or to
regain lost ground.
2. Allied patrols have been non
offensive.
3. Allied artillery has fired only
in reply to enemy fire, or against
known gun and mortar positions
that threaten Allied troops.
All this sooner or later must
add up to one thing to the Com
munist high command: That il
is they. and not the Allies. who
have provoked every attack since
November 27. the day the Allies
decided to call of the ground wal
as much as possible for the time
being.

And unless the Allies change
their mind again-an ever pres.

going to be forced to demonstrate
their willingness to honor such q
ceaSe-fire. That will be because
the Allies are already demonstrat-
ing theirs by refraining from
offensive action. Needless to say

Col. Howard Levie. said the Allied

Admiral joys questions con-
corning the proposal to freeze

Would the proposal prohibit the

Would it bar the replacement of
one military unit with another of
the same strength?
Would it prevent replacement OF
ammunition used in training or an
exchange of weapons of the same

Would it permit unlimited con-

Iof some news pictures from the

The message advised the Lon

Details Revealed on Directive
Which Led to Korea War LuN

EDITORS NOTE-In dispatch
cleared yesterday through general
headquarters censorship of Gen
Ridgway's United Nations COM
mand, Robert Eunson, chief of the
Associated Press staff in Japan
and Korea. reported further de-
tails concerning military directives
which led to a temporary halt in
ground fighting along the Korean
front lines.
(The lull in ground action was
reported by Associated Press war
correspondents. and all others in
Korea. last Wednesday. These re-
ports led to official denials that
any "caSe-flre" order had been is
sued and to statements by the
White House press secretary that
AP dispatches saying there had
been complete. if temporary
halt" to ground action were mot
true" The White House also dis
closed the text of military direc-
tive to confirm no "ceaSe-f1re" had
been ordered. This did not ex-
plain the origin or detail of in
structions which actually reached
the front lines and which speci-
fed, in effect. United Nations
troops were not to shoot unless
shot at.

German Arms Plant
Studied as Help 10
Atlantic Pact Army
BY the Associated Press

| BONN. Germany, Dec. 3.-Some
Allied occupation authorities are
thinking about resurrecting the
German arms industry to help
equip Atlantic defense forces.
With American arms output
tagging, some influential occupa-
ton officials are suggesting that
the West must tap the rich indus
trial Ruhr for armaments along
with German manpower to tip the
military balance against Russia.
A responsible source said today
one Allied leader in Germany
already has proposed to his gov
ernment that the West should per-
NIT full-scale German arms pro-
duction again. He declined to
identify the official or his govern
ment.
This source said the arguments
of officials. who favor hitching the
Ruhr to the Vests arms drive,
run like this:
Mass production of tanks,
artillery and other equipment by
the Ruhr would speed up the
equipping of IL German divisions
planned for the European army.
The Germans could also help
equip the armies of Italy, Belgium
and The Netherlands, which are
receiving weapons from Canada
and the United States:
This would insure Britain and
France priority on American arms
shipments.
The source emphasized that the
question of tapping the Ruhr for
armament production had not
progressed beyond the talking
stage. 1t is certain to encounter
stiff opposition from many quar-
terS.
Must Start From Scratch.
The informant said some high
ranking officials here fear the cost
of arming German contingents
for European army may be pro-
hibitive, unless the Germans are
allowed to produce their own
equipment.
The Germans must start from
scratch. They lack barracks,
training grounds and even uni
forms. Under present plans, the
western poWers-principally the
United StateS-muSt supply all
equipment and part of the cost of
recruiting and training German
divisions under these conditions.
German leaders estimate the
first years cost of creating II di-
visions at Sc billion. But some
Allied sources put the figure at
$l4 billion.
So. suggestions are being made
in Allied circles that it would be
to the interest of the western pow
ers if the Germans produced their
own arms instead of having other
nations supplying them.

Few Nations Viewed
Eligible for Neutral
Inspections in Korea
BY the Associoted Press

PARIS, Dec. 3.-United Nations
sources foresee that only a hand
full of nations could qualify fol
the kind of neutral" cease fire
inspection teams demanded by
Communist truce negotiators for
Korea.
The United Nations has listed
SO of its 60 member nations as
giving some form of aid to the
United Nations effort in Korea
But they admit the figure is elas-
tic. None of the IT nations with
troops under United Nations forces
in Korea, nor Denmark nor Nor
way which have promised troops
could be considered neutral"
None of the five Soviet bloc
countries would qualify either.
Some Avoid Stand.
Egypt, Burma and Yugoslavis
are generally regarded as having
stayed away from any decisive
stand on the Korean question
although Yugoslavia finally joined
in branding North Korea as an
Iaggressor. Because of that and
because of Cominform dislike for
Yugoslavia on general principles,
no one here thought Yugoslavia
would be accepted as neutral
observer by any one on the Com
munist side.
Sweden's aloofness from the
North Atlantic pact and India's
general reputation for passivity
may qualify those two nations fol
neutral roles. Sweden and India
had medical units on the Korean
front.
India announced recently that
it was considering removing ever
that token force. India and
Sweden have diplomatic repre-
sentation in Peiping.
Arab Nations in Middle.
Several Arab countries, Israel
a couple of Asian countries such
as Pakistan and Indonesia all
have built up middle of -the-road
policies that may allow them to
qualify. They bolstered this
reputation by refraining from TAX
ing a stand on recommendations
for a United Nations war material
on Communist China.
Outside the United Nations
membership. Switzerland is the
neutral. Home of the
International Red Cross. a coun-
try that goes it alone without
Joining any pact, Switzerland al
ways ranks high in building up
neutral teams. 1t is not a mem
Der Of the United Nations but it
plays a big part in handling the
United Nations children's emer-
gency fund program.
