Believed in Soviet Hands
By the Associoted Press

BERLIN, Nov. 24.-The United
States Army reported three SOL
diers missing from their unit here
today and said they are believed
held in the Russian zone.
Army authorities were informed
by a German resident that three
American soldiers and a woman,
believed to be German, were ar
rested by Communist peoples po-
lice yesterday afternoon about 300
yards inside the East zone.
The incident occurred in the
area of Buckow East, on the bor-
der between the American sector
of Berlin and the Russian zone
where the German said the SOL
diers had been hunting. A civilian
automobile belonging to one of
the soldiers was later discovered
in that area.
The United States liaison mis-
sion at Potsdam has asked Soviet
authorities to release the three
soldiers, who are assigned to the
508th truck company in West Ber-
lin. Their names were not dis

By the Assoeiofed Press

Selective Service may begin
drafting 19-year-olds soon, but
not before the end of January.
An official said today that sur
veys of the manpower situation in
the Nation are being assembled to
provide an up-to-date picture on
how many 20-year-olds still are
available for the draft.
State Selective Service direc-
tors will come here next week to
discuss their problems with ma
tional officials. he said.
He added that these talks are
expected to lead to decision on
when to change an outstanding
order banning the draft of 49,
year -olds.
Maj. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, Sc
lective Service director, issued the
ban early this year when some
local boards exhausted their lists
of older registrants while others
retained large backlogs of men 20
and 81 years old.

Ford Says Foundation
Wouldn't Give a Dime
To Socialist Uses
Numesuke of Founder
Testifies at Inquiry
On Tux-Exempt Groups
By jones (. Roper

Henry Ford II said today the
$500 million Ford Foundation
wouldn't give a dime to any So
cialiStic enterprise.
The youthful industrialist gave
this assurance to a special House
committee investigating whether
tax exempt charitable foundations
have encouraged opponents of
capitalism.
Mr.. Ford, the grandson of the
founder of the Ford Motor Co.,
is president of the company and
chairman Of the board of the
Ford Foundation. The founda-
ton owns more than 80 per cent
of the non-voting stock of the
Ford Co.
Started Under Hoffman.
The elder Henry Ford and his
son, Edsel Ford, willed the stock
to the foundation. which began
large-scale operations two years
ago under Paul Hoffman as presi-
dent.
Henry Ford II, wearing a pow
der-blue shirt with a matching
handkerchief in his coat pocket,
testified that the Ford Foundation
was dedicated toward solving
problems of world peace, Amer
ica's internal political and eco
nomic strength, education and
human behavior.
He said that if the foundation
"ever found any of it's donations
going to socialistic purposes, we'd
never give them another dime" I"
He said the foundation also could
cut off any unexpended funds al
located to such a project but
probably could not recover any
monies that might have been mis-
used.
Questioned on Purpose.
Committee Counsel Harold Kelle
asked Mr.. Ford to answer charges
that the Ford family set up the
foundation as a scheme to keep
control of the Ford Motor Co.
II was in prep school when the
foundation was started in 1885,"
Mr.. Ford replied, "but far be it
from me to say one purpose was
not to get this stock into one
hand"
The motor company was recap
italized in 1886 with 20 shares of
non-voting stock issued for each
share Of voting stock. Mr.. Ford
and four relatives retained some
of the non-voting stock and all the
voting stock.
The non-voting stock that went
to the Foundation changed hands,
without the staggering inheritance

wise would have collected on the

F amt Signal by Radio

By the Associated Press

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Nov. "a.
"A faint radio signal was the
only tenuous clue today to the
fate of So men aboard a giant
C-124 Globemaster which van
ished Saturday night over the
Gulf of Alaska.
Twenty-four search planes were
poised here ready to fan out when

four engined transports last
check-point. The weather outlook
was poor.
The Al Army and Air Force
passengers and II crewmen were
listed officially yesterday as miss
ing in the continuing plague of
United States military air disas-
ters throughout the world.
Names of the crew were released
late yesterday. Today the Penta-
gon released the names of Is of

Six Lost Since November I.
Since November 7, six planes
either have crashed or disappeared.
They carried 1862 men, of whom
81 are known dead, p are missing
and eight survived. Three of the
troop carriers were lost in Alaska,
two in Korea and one in Montana.
The weak radio signal, which
could have come from emergency
equipment carried by the Globe
master, was picked up yesterday
by the CAA station at Yakataga,
on the Alaska coastline about $50
miles east of Middleton Island.
The SOS was so dim no bearing
could be taken. But authorities at
Elmendorf Air Force Base here
said the signal on the interna-
tional distress frequency of 500
kilocycles might have come from
Gibson Girl" radio transmitters
attached to the C-124's rubber
liferafts.
They cautioned, however
against undue optimism, pointing
out that the signal was not picked
up again and past experience in
Alaska aerial tragedies has shown
that mysterious radio transmits
sionS are not uncommon and have
proved valueless in searches.

glacier covered peaks of 10000

Flying From Tacoma.
The MATS Globemaster, big as
a five-room house, made its last
report over Middleton at 9:47 pm
psf Saturday on a 1,4OO-mile
flight to Elmendorf from McChord
Air Force Base, near Tacoma,
Wash.
The Alaska Air Command con-
firmed early today the CHA
based at McChord, was on a rou-
tine flight to Alaska and most OF
the Al passengers were stationed
in the territory.
The Globemaster was flying al
5000 feet on schedule 6 hours and

last heard from. It should have
reached Anchorage 46 minutes
later.
Weather conditions were re.

notified British Foreign Secretary
Anthony Eden that it could not
accept a British-backed Indian
compromise plan for ending the
Korean prisoner of war deadlock
unless the proposal was substan-
TALLY amended.
Britain feels that the proposals
should be given chance as they
stand, but the United States wants
all details spelled out.
India came up quickly with
notifications but these apparent
ly did not satisfy the United
States.
Closed Meeting Held.
The 81 powers which backed an
original American resolution held
an uEgent closed meeting last
night at which United States Sec
retary of State Dean Acheson de-
tailed the American objections to
the Indian proposals. The q ap-
parently failed to find a position
which would please both Britain
and the United States.
Feelings at the meeting were
tense and afterward press officers
of the British and American dele
cations were not even polite to
one another-highly unusual in
diplomatic circles.
Mr.. Eden stayed away from the
meeting but sent his top assistant,
Minister of State Selwyn Lloyd.
A spokesman said Mr.. Eden had
"Iong- standing social engage
ment," but he went mum when
reminded that Mr.. Eden didn't
make up his mind to stay here
until last Friday and therefore it
was unlikely that he had a New
York engagement for a day he
expected to be in London.
Mr.. Acheson was scheduled to
speak late today in the United
Nations 60-member Political
Committee. but aides said he
might postpone the speech because
of fast-breaking behind-the
scenes diplomatic developments.
POland's Reaction Awaited.
Poland was also on the speakers
list and some delegates hoped for
a tip-off on official Communist
reaction to the split between the
Western Allies.
Moscow newspapers commented
yesterday that the British-Ameri-
can differences over the Indian
resolution just proved the Commu-
mist contention that major split
and possibly war-between
the United States and other West
ern countries is inevitable. The
Soviet press also has made it
plain that the Russians do not
consider the Indian plan the right
solution to the POW issue.
Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei
Vishinsky also sumbitted amend
ments to the Russian proposal on
Korea, which would hand the
whole truce problem to 11-nation
political conference. The Soviet
amendments call for an immediate
ceasefire before the conference
meets and require a two-thirds
vote in the conference for deci-
sions.
Divided Over Approach.
Since the Russian resolution
calls for four Communist nations
of the II in the conference, the
two-thirds requirement could tie
up any meeting effectively. But
there appeared little or no chance
of most U. N. members accepting
much if any part of the Russian
proposal.
Both British and Americans
made it clear that they are not
divided on their basic refusal to
send back prisoners who say they
are afraid to return to the Reds.
They differ over what approach
is most likely to solve the prob
lem and bring an armistice to
War-torn Korea.
The United States position is
that the Indian plan is too vague
and could give the Reds chance
to indulge in all sort of stalling
and double talk.
