Stain Sends
Korea Reds His
Best Wishes
Hopes They Have
Success in Struggle
Against U. N. Troops
BY the Associated Press

MOSCOW, Aug. 15.-Generalis-
simo Joseph Stain today sent
North Korea his best wishes for
it's success in the battle against
United Nations forces.
A telegram from the Soviet
leader to North Korean Premier
Korean Thronss Cheer Rhee on Inousuro-
tion for New Term. Poae "A
Kim II Sung offered hearty con-
gratulations' on the occasion of
the North Korean national holi-
day.
Stain wished success to the
"heroic Korean people in it's strug-
gle for its homeland"
The telegram was published to-
day in all Moscow newspapers.
People Called Unwavering.
In a lead editorial, the Com
munist Party organ Pravda also
called for peaceful settlement Of
the Korean struggle. But the
newspaper added that the Korean
people are "unwaVering in unani-
mously striving to defend the free
dom and independence of its
country"
The Stain message apparently
did not indicate any new trend
in Russian reaction to the Korean
war. Similar kilograms have been
sent to the North Korean Premier
on previous anniversaries such as
today's observance of liberation
from the japanese after World
War II.
Meanwhile, the North Korean
Premier. in an important article
in the Communist newspaper
Pravda, declared his nation would
not compromise on the war pris-
oner issue.
Return of Patriots Pledged.
I'VE shall succeed in having our
patriots, all to the last one, re-
turned to their homeland to peace
full labor" he wrote.
Kim II Sung declared that if
the armiStice talks are broken off
and the war extended the Ameri-
cans will come to even less
glorious results than those they
have now in Korea"
The North Korean radio re-
ported earlier today that Kim IL
Sung had told Parliament North
Korea would be prepared to sign
an armistice which would end the
tWo-year-old war as a draw.
The broadcast, quoting high
lights of the Premier's speech on
the anniversary of the liberation
of Korea from Japan after World
War II, said Kim II Sung declared,
however, that all Korean and Chi
nese prisoners must be returned
to their homelands.

A chauffeur who claimed he
was employed by the Argentine

terpreter Sotomayor told his at
torney, Harry j. Ahern, that
he was ION loan" from the En-
bassy to DR.. Magnuson. The
defendants wife, Mrs. Marie Mile
sis Sotomayor. supported the
statement.
Police said the Embassy did not
claim diplomatic immunity for the
driver. nor was he on the list of
persons entitled to immunity.
Police said an Embassy represen-
tative had appeared at headquar-
ters in Sotomayor's behalf, but
a bondsman credited Sotomayor
with arranging his own bail.

ipal Judge Mary Barlow, Soto
mayor and his wife ducked around
doorways trying to evade photog-
raphers. Sotomayor swatted at
a cameraman with a rolled-up
newspaper, but missed.

a woman.
Shouted at Chauffeur.
Pvt. Bowles said he stopped the
police car and he got out. He
went to the right front window
and shouted to the man to stop
beating the woman, the policeman
said.
He then ran around to the
drivers side, Pvt. Bowles con-
But. as he did so. the car
started up. brushing his leg as it
sped off, he added.
The two policemen fired three
shots at the fleeing car, hitting
the trunk. Then the chase began.
It ended near Seventeenth and K
streets NV. when another shot
hit a rear tire and the car careened
to a stop.
Why He Didn't Stop.
Pvt. Bowles said he grabbed
the driver who then said, II Dip
lomat. Me no stop. Just have
fight with wife. This is all"
After the chase ended. police
said Mrs. Sotomayor declared:
"He beat me because he is
jealous. He had maybe six beers.
I told him to stop the car"
Sotomayor was taken to No. g
precinct and booked on the as
Sault charge.

in Argentina and had been in the
United States about six years.
