Russia Proposes JUN. Intervene Nm Korean Arnlistice

PARIS, (P) - Soviet Russia, in a surprise move, proposed Thurs day that the United Nations Se- curity Council intervene in the Korean armistice negotiations. It asked that both Korea and the leSsening of world tensions be considered at a high level, pos sibly by foreign ministers or chiefs of state.
 Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Vishinsky submitted the proposal to the Donation political commit tee after a long speech denounc- ing a western collective action plan, and limiting ominously at events to come in southeast Asia.
 The American delegation said that since the SoVietS have veto power in the Security Council, it would be useless to bring the Ko- rean armistice negotiations to that body, adding that the place for successful conclusion of sue h talks is in Korea, with the veto free General Assembly deciding later on a political settlement.
 Vishinsky accused the US. of ferrying Chinese National troops into Viet Nam, Burma and Thai land for an attack on the Chinese Reds. These measures, he said, would be described as defensive" when military operations" begin against southern China.
 This called to mind the begin ming of the Korean war, when the communists charged that the US. was the aggressor, and the Chi nese intervention in Korea, when similar charge was made.

DISTRIBUTION OF US. INCOME

The Census Bureau this month divided US. in into five groups, each group representing fifth of the counrys population The result shows that the fifth of the population with the highest income receives almost one-haf of the national total income
 The poorest fifth of the countrys population re- ceives only three per cent of the national income while the second poorest fifth receives only nine per cent, and the third group only seventeen per cent
 The highest fifth of the population receives forty seven per cent of the total income and the second highest ffth twenty-four per cent Thus, two-ffths of the population receives seventyone per cent an- other two-fifths receives only twelve per cent.
 The highest percentage of the total income at tributed to the top fifth of the population found in Missouri New York and Texas, where the top fifth received forty-nne per cent of the total national income.

Governor Warren May Enter WisconsOn Primary For COP Nomination

SACRAMENTO, Calif., (P) - Some of Gov. Earl Warren's SUD- porters say he will enter the Wis consin primary election to broad en his campaign for the Republi- can presidential nomination.
 It's purely guess, Warren has given no hint.
 The governor also has been urged to go on the Oregon ballot May IT. Warren packers say:
 Wisconsin would give Warren a national showcase as presi- dential candidate. There, if it came to showdown, he'd have good chance of beating Sen. Taft or Harold Stassen.
 The dangers are obvious: de- feat would tarnish Warren's rec ord before the national conven- ton in July. By keeping away from other states, he would still command California's 70 votes as healthy starter.
