Postal Employees Pay
During Fund Debate
BY the Associated Press

Postal employees are one STEP
closer to being assured their pay
checks while Congress argues over
a bill to authorize such money.
The Senate yesterday, as the
House had previously, approved
a stopgap resolution. This will take
effect as soon as changes by a
Senate committee, accepted by the
Senate, are okayed at a Senate
House conference.
The resolution was introduced
after Post Office workers were told
there was no money available to
pay them. There were two reasons
Regularly-appropriated funds for
the Post Office and other depart
ments had run out, and de-
f1ciency appropriation bill was
stalled.
The deadlocked measure, how
ever, tackled on an amendment to
bar use of any of the bills money
to carry out Government seizure
of the steel mills. 1t is on this
point that a Senate-H House confer
ence has been unable to agree
so far.
The Stopgap resolution was
amended in the Senate to include
no-money-for- seizure provision
also. ConfereeS llust also rule
on this change. The resolution

agencies to draw on funds in the

! PUSAN, Korea, May 29.-The
/ United Nations commission in Ko-
rea today urged President Syng-
man Rhee to lift martial law in
Pusan and to release nine as
semblymen arrested by South Ko-
rean military police.
Mr.. Rhee told a news confer
ence he will abolish army rule of
this provisional capital when he
sees fit. He clamped it on Satur-
Gay in 81 southern counties, say
ing among other things the area
was threatened by Red guerrillas
He said also the government has
evidence of crimes against the
nine assemblymen and added that
more lawmakers may be arrested
Whether the U. N. letter had
been delivered to Mr.. Rhee at the
time of the news conference was
not disclosed.
Rhee Criticised.
The u. N. Commission for the
Unification and Rehabilitation OF
Korea wrote Mr.. Rhee that he
had not observed the Republic S
code governing martial law. It also
said aSsemblymen can be arrested
only when caught red-handed in
crime.
Mr.. Rhee told his news confer
ence the assembly has almost dis
qualified itself" and asserted the
people would back him if he were
to dissolve it.
The assembly is required by law
to choose a new president before
June %. 1t is bitter against Mr.
Rhee and presumably would moi
re-elect him.
Vice President Kim Foo sub.
mitted his resignation and said il
was because of his health and the

SEOUL, Korea, May 29.-Com-
munist big guns turned back an
Allied raid with their mightiest
barrage of the year yesterday. II
was the same day Red truce ne
|gotiators threatened to renew
heavy fighting in Korea.
The Communists poured 1926
rounds of fire on United Nations
positions in the "a hours ended
|at 6 pm. yesterday. That's five
times the Reds normal volume in
the present limited action phase
of the war.
Half the shells broke up an Al
lied raid on a three-hill enemy
position near Korangpo on the
western front. Heavy Communist
mortar and artillery barrages also
pounded two sectors east of the
once heavily contested Punchbowl
on the eastern front.
u. N. Withdrawal Forced.
Intensity of the Red fire didn' t
match Allied peaks of up to 10000
rounds in single day.
The Red artillery barrage near
Korangpo forced withdrawal OF
U. N. troops who had wrecked
Communist positions on three
hills along TIE old invasion route
to South Korea.
1t came as North Korean Gen

U. N. assault troops had stormeo
two of the hills near Korangpc
within three hours of their 3 am

$3.50 am. Tanks provided fire
support in the attack on one hill
and U. N. troops assaulted with

Offers Revised Draft
Of Subdivision Plan
Upper Montgomery

Several proposals in the sub
division control plan for Upper
Montgomery County, which were
severely criticized last Fall have
been deleted in a revised draft re-
leased today.
The less-restrictive plan is the
product of f1ve-month study by
the Upper Montgomery County
Planning Commission and 10 citi-
zen advisory committees. The adj
vlsory groups represented the
election districts in the affected
area.
The definition of the term Sub
division" has been changed toI
allow sales of small parcels of
land minimum of 10 acres) for
strictly agricultural use without
commission approval. Landowners
may also adjust property boun-
daires by land transfers and theI
original proposal that a $50 fling
fee accompany all proposed sub
divisions of land has been dropped.
minimum Of Guidance"
In releasing the revised plan
Thomas c. Kelley, jr.. commits
sion chairman. said an effort was
made to conform to the objec-
tions raised in the earlier plan
while still providing "the barest
minimum of necessary guidance.
He said no public hearings haveI
been planned for the new draft.
But he urged that all interested
obtain copies Of the new plan and
submit written suggestions and
recommendations to the COM
mission by the end of June.
The commission meets each
Wednesday night and will open it's
meetings to the public. Comments
and written opinions on the plan
will be received at these meetings,
held in the County Courthouse at
Rockville.
Lot Size Requirement.
Other changes in the plan in
clude reduction of the minimum
lot size requirements. Where
either sewer or water facilities
but not both-are available, lot /
sizes are restricted to a minimum /
of 10000 square feet instead of
10000 square feet. If neither water
nor sewer facilities are available
the minimum is set at 10000
square feet, instead of 10000
square feet.
The original draft required in
clusion in subdivisions of sodding
and landscaping improvements.
These were attacked as unneces-
sary frills. The new plan limits
improvements to croSSwalks and
water and sewer systems, other
than those installed by the Wash
ington Suburban Sanitary Com
mission.
In answer to the criticism that
the first set of regulations even
prevented a landowner from pre-
Senting sections of his land to his
children without a subdivision
plat and approval of the COM |,
mission, section permitting sale |,
or transfer of one acre or more /
per year has been included. The
transfer would not have to be
passed upon by the commission.
Cash or surety bonds will be re-
quired in the full amounts esti-
mated ito be necessary for con-
Struction of crosSwalks and water
and sewer facilities planned for
the subdivision. These improve
ments must be completed within
two years of the date the final
plat is approved by the COM
mission. (
