Mark Clark Says POW Disturbances on KOje Directed from PanmunjOm

KOJE ISLAND, Korea, (P - Gen. Mark Clark said Monday that without question" the bloody riots and other disturbances by Red prisoners of war on Koje were directed by Communist truce delegates at Panmunjom.
 The United Nations Far East commander asserted the Red truce delegates directed the uprisings 'here and the disobedience of'' camp commander orders.
 He conceded the JUN. has no positive proof there is a direct connection between Koje and Pan munjom. He apparently meant that no radio messages, letters or agents between Koje and Pan munjom had been discovered.
 But Clark said: "There are so many instances where the Com munist world knew of events taking place here, and reflected them at Panmunjon1 and so many instances where events at Pan munjom have been reflected here, that the implications are obvious" "

Army Retires Eisenhower Tuesday,
 Taft Faction Challenge Him to Fig Int

WASHINGTON, (H - I n e Army cleared the way today for Gen. Eisenhower's immediate re- tirement, promising action before he leaves the Pentagon Tuesday for the political wars.
 Maj. Gen. Floyd Parks, the Army's information chief, told a reporter the former supreme com mander in Europe definitely will be on a retired status" when he leaves Tuesday for Abilene, Kas., and his first out of uniform speech in the Republican presi- dential nomination race.
 Orders transferring Eisenhower to inactive. status, after 37 years in uniform, will be handed him at a brief ceremony following his final report to his military super iors on his second supreme com mand in Europe. This will free the general, Parks said, to cam paign actively for the COP nom- ination, if he wishes, although Eisenhower will retain his five star rank as general of the army and $18,761 a year in pay and allowances.
 Eisenhower has said he will resign his commission, however, if he gets the nomination. In that case his pay and allowances, as we'll as his use of three aides, would cease.
 His homecoming from Europe Sunday in the warmth of a sum- merlike sun was purely mili- tary affair. The Army gave him the full 17-gun welcome reserved for military heroes.
 Even as he arrived, Taft's cam paign headquarters got out statement welcoming him back to this country but regretting that ''he didn't return sooner"
 "NoW that he is about to take off his battle jacket we of the Republican Party hope that he will start fighting" said a state ment by Rep. B. Carroll Reece of Tennessee, manager of the com mitee backing Senator Taft for the COP nomination.

Supreme Court Rules to 3 Against
 Truman's Seizure of the Steel Mills

WASHINGTON, (HJ - I n c Supreme Court ruled 6-3 Monday that President Truman's seizure of the steel industry was uncon- stitutional. Within minutes CIO President Philip Murray called a nationwide strike of his 650,000 steelworkers.
 Tn a historic decision striking down President Truman's claim to vast inherent powers under the Constitution, the high court up held the ruling of US. District Judge David O. Pine that the President acted illegally in seiz- ing the steel mills April to head off a strike.
 This meant the government must obey Pines order to turn the mills back to their owners.
 It also meant the Truman ad- ministration could not carry through it's promise of a wage increase to the steel workers while the mills were under government ownership.
 The high court decision was written by Justice Black. Chief Justice Vinson and Justices Reed and Minton dissented.
 Black said for the court major ity: "The Presidents power to issue the (seiZure) order must stem either from an act of Con- gress or from the Constitution it. self. There is no statute that ex- pressly authorizes the President to take possession of property as he did here"
 In his dissent, Chief Justice Vinson contested the view that the Presidents only recourse in an emergency is to await "the final passage of legislation . to cope with threatened disaster"
 Truman has repeatedly claimed he has inherent powers under the Constitution to seize a private in- dustry, or take a wide variety of other actions, to safeguard the welfare of the nation in time of national emergency.
 The court said firmly, however, that this power belongs to Con- gress and not to the President either as the civilian head of the government or as commander-in- chief of the armed forces.
 Murray's strike call came less than 45 minutes after the black robed judges read their opinions.
 He said: ''In the absence of a wage agreement our members have no alternative other than to cease work"

State Increases
Money To Schools

TALLAHASSEE R The state
is planning to split up SIS, SIT 900
among the 81 Florida counties for
public school support this year.
School Supt. Thomas D. Bailey
certified that amount to Comptrol-
Ter c. M. Gay as the preliminary
calculation of the states contribu-
tons to the county school system
for the 1928 year.
1t is $500. 900 more than state
contributions last year. and 81 ,982,-
600 less than the 1851 Legislature
appropriated for this year.
Auditors for the Department of
Education and comptroller's office
estimated the state win have to
pay out about 2 Va million dollars
less than the Legislature allowed
when it appropriated III millions
for the biennial minimum founda-
ton school fund.
That is all savings from the ap-
preparation. The 2 VI millions extra
may not be spent, even though
appropriated, because state alloca-
tons are determined by strict ap-
plication of a formula in the law.
Last year, the states contribu-
ton was $S49, 900 less than the ap-
preparation.
Of the $50, ST., 900 tentatively set
up for this year, $44,173, 900 is for
teachers salaries, $500, 900 for
school bus transportation $5,03o,-
900 for current operations and S.
706, 900 for construction and other
capital outlay.
To get the states s. million dol
lars the counties must put up ST.
356, 900. Actually, they viii almost
match the state fund.
The increase this year Is largely
due to increased enrollments. The
average daily school attendance is
the major factor in determining the
state fund ALLEGATIONS:
