U.N. Asks To-Day HALT
To Political Squabb|es|
In Rhee's Government
BY the Assoeiofed Press

PUSAN, Korea, June 9.-The
United Nations has urged the
South Korean Government to halt
its political squabbling for 10 days
to ease tension which the U. N.
said Is threatening the republic
with chaos.
The U. N. proposal was handed
the government last night. It also
suggested that President Syngman
Rhee lift martial law from this
temporary capital and release II
national aSsemblymen held on
charges Of conspiracy against the
government.
The U. N. commission on the
uniflcation and rehabilitation of
Korea is seeking solution to the
crisis brought on by a quickening
Of the long feud between Mr.. Rhee
and majority of the assembly.
Popular Vote Demanded.
Mr.. Rhee is demanding that the
right to elect the president be
taken from the assembly and
given to the people. He also wants
q two-house Congress instead of
the present unicameral assembly.
A proposed constitutional amend
ment embodying Mr.. Rhee's de-
mands was beaten in the assembly
earlier this year, 1879.
Today, for the third time since
the president declared martial law
on May Is, the assembly tried to
meet but failed to get a required
quorum Of 80 members.
Many assemblymen have re-
mained in hiding for fear of ar
rest by South Korean military
police.
Prime Minister Chang Talk
Sang today failed to negotiate
q compromise between So pro-
Rhee assemblymen and about 40
anti-Rhee lawmakers. His pro-
posal was understood to contain
President Rhee's demands plus a
proposal that the Assembly be
empowered to approve cabinet ap-
pointments and hold votes of con-
ddence on Government policies.
Another plan under discussion
would delay the presidential elec-
ton from next week until mid
July.
200 Hold Rally in Pusan.
About 200 persons held rally
in downtown Pusan this morning,
then marched to Mr.. Rhee's home
and presented petitions attack
ing the Assembly.
Another group went to the
Presidents home in the after
noon with similar petitions.
Both groups urged the As
Sembly be dissolved.
Mr.. Rhee told the groups to
60 home and "be patient" He
said the problem would be solved
to their satisfaction lin several
more days."

7run1on's Letter on Steel

The tert of President Tru-
mans letter to Chairman May
bank of the Senate Banking
Committee, -Udrning against
any Senate action in the steel
dispute. tolloWS:
Dear Senator Maybank:
I am informed that the Senate
may take some action today with
respect to the current dispute in
the steel industry. If the Senate
should do this the results might
be very harmful.
The parties to the dispute are
now negotiating for a settlement
of the dispute. No one can be
sure of the outcome Of these nego-
tiations. However. the parties on
both sides appear to be earnestly
seeking a settlement, and there
is at least a reasonable hope that
they will be succesSful-unless
something is done on the outside
to upset the present bargaining
situation.
Every one must agree that a

settlement by the parties Is by
far the best thing that could hap
pen In the national interest. When
we may be on the verge of achiev-
ing that. any action which pre-
vented 1t would be tragic. In the
present circumstances. any action
by the Senate-even though it
would not become applicable i'm
mediately or even though it might
be only an expression of the
Senate's views-could so alter the
situation or the attitudes Of the
parties in this case as to cause
"a breakdown in their negotiations.
I earnestly ask the Senate not
to do this.

Oats Market Rigging
Is Target Of Inquiry
Opened by Brannan

The Agriculture Department is
investigating a possible manipu-
lation Of the American. oats mar
ket, it was learned today.
Senator Young. Republican, OF
North Dakota. proposed the inves-
tigation. suggesting that Cargill
Inc, the largest American grain
dealer. has imported Canadian
oats to drive down future prices
in the United States.
Senator Young told the Agri-
culture Department that evidence
indicates oats were imported at a
loss on cash sales but could have
been used to influence the futures
market and thus give Cargill a
handsome profit in futures trading
Senator Young proposed on
June 2 in a letter to Agriculture
Secretary Brannan that the Ag-
riculture Department investigate
the oats imports. If Agriculture
refused, Senator Young said, he
would take the case to the Sen
ate Agriculture Committee.
Today, Secretary Brannan re-
piled that the Agriculture De-
partment started investigating
May 9 with the idea of finding
out whether any of the recent
importations of oats have been at
q loss under existing price rela-
tionshipS between the Canadian
market and our own"
I'VE agree with your suggestion
that If this is the case" Secre-
tary Brannan wrote, "it will be
strongly indicative of a manipula-
tive venture.
I'VE can assure you that If this
investigation discloses any sub
stantial evidence of manipulation
or any other violation of the Com
modify Exchange Act, the depart
ment will take prompt action with
respect to those concerned"

activities in the oats futures mar
kets.

on the Chicago Board of Trade

New Study Of Change
In Mo-Pac Railroad
By the Associated Press


An Interstate Commerce Com
mission Examining Board recon-
mended today that the question
of reorganization of the giant
Missouri Pacific Railroad Co. be
re-examined.
The boards report represented
a major victory for Robert r.
Young's Allegheny Corp. which
holds 81 per cent of Mo-Pac's
common stock.
Re-examination of the reorgan-
ization proposal was recommended
on the basis of increased earning
of the rail system.
Under the reorganization plan
approved in 1949 by the ICC. all
the common stock interests in the
company would have been wiped
out.
Allegheny and others. including
the Board of Directors of the COM
pany itself. have waged a strenu-
Gus fight for re-examination, con-
tending that a greatly improved
financial condition warrants at
least some preservation of the
common stock interests.
The company, both here and in
Bankruptcy Court at st. Louis, is
contending that actually no re-
organization is necessary. but that
the 19-year-old bankruptcy can
be wound up by relatively
simple debt adjustment. subject
to approval by security holders.
The board which recommended
re-examination today is composed
of Roger r. Boyden, assistant di-
rector of the ICC Bureau of FL
nance; Vernon v. Baker, chief of
the reorganization section, and
Finance Bureau Examiner Harvey
H. Wilkinson.

Such cases have been a source

The hearing came after 500
parents signed a petition, claiming
|the school superintendent was yio-

principle.
The parents said teachers and
students were forced to attend
Baptist sessions in the school and
that three Catholic students got
failing grades because they did not
attend a Baptist convention in
Waco.
The school board chairman
promised a public report. He said
the board had found isolated in
