Reds Offer New Plan
Al Truce Talks; U. n.
Asks Time for Study
BY the Asseeiofed Press

MUNSAN, Korea. July 3.-Com-
munist negotiators today offered
a new plan for breaking the
Korean truce talks deadlock, but
an Allied spokesman said the pro-
posal contains a 'lot of gimmicks
and potential gimmicks."
Maj. Gen. William K. Harrison,
jr., said the Red plan may be
an important one and it may not. -
The Reds indicated they would
ease their demand for return OF
all military prisoners in United
Nations stockades, provided the
10000 Chinese captives are re-
turned. They asked for secret
sessions to discuss the proposal.
Meaning Is Uncertain.
Gen. Harrison, the senior Allied
negotiator, Immediately called fol
adjournment until Friday &c
pm, EST Thursday to study it
He did not reply to the Com
munist demand for secret sessions
"The exact meaning and full
significance (of the Red proposal)
is not Immediately apparent te
the United Nations command,
said Brig. Gen. William P. Muck
OILS. United Nations spokesman
He said it contains a "lot ot
gimmicks and potential gim.
mickS."
Allied refusal to repatriate any
prisoner who does not want to &c
home has deadlocked the truce
talks for weeks.
100000 Oppose Return.
Last April the United Nations
screened most of the 10000 wal
captives and civilian internees in
its stockades and found that about
100000 did not want to return
to Communist rule. The total
included about $4,000 Chinese wal
prisoners.
The new Red proposal closely
|resembled the Communists May
offer. Then the Reds demanded
return of 10000 North Korean
and Chinese prisoners of war. They
indicated, however. they might
yield on 10000 South Koreans i'm
pressed into the North Korean
army and might not argue over
the disposition of 1880 civilian
internees.

Speech by Alexander
|0n Korean Weakness
Stirs Laborite Row
By the Associated Press

LONDON. July 3.-Prime Min
lister Winston Churchill quieted q
political storm last night as Labor
ties accused his defense secretary
of telling a private group-but
not Parliament-that United Ma
tions forces in Korea needed more
reserves.
The defense secretary. Earl
Alexander of Tunis, told 500 men,
bers of the Canada Club at a pri-
vate dinner Tuesday:
II should be very much hap
pier if Gen. Van Fleet (the United
Nations field commander in Ko-
rea) had a little more reserves
in his own hands. I think If the
Chinese attempt a full-scale Of
fensive they will penetrate the
front to a depth of some miles In
some places"
Bradley Favors Secretary.
Lord Alexander had reported tc
Parliament on his recent tour OF
Korea earlier the same day but
had made no reference to his con-
cern over the reserve strength be-
cause Gen. Omar Bradley, chair
man of the United States Joint
Chiefs Of Staff, felt the matter
too secret for public debate.
Although the dinner party was
ostensibly private, a reporter pres
ent sent Lord Alexander's remarks
to newspapers and news agencies
Including the Russian news
agency Tass.
When told the story was out
Lord Alexander asked all papers
and agencies to withhold publica-
ton. All agreed, as far as is
known here.
Angry Laborite members of Par
lament last night demanded an
adjournment of scheduled busi-
ness in the House of Commons and
an immediate debate.
Baked on Debate.
Their demand was turned down
after Mr.. Churchill told the House
Lord Alexander had consulted
Gen. Bradley about security as
poets of his Parliament speech
on Korea.
"The general replied he would
prefer no public reference be made
as to the strength of reserves, but
he did not dissent from the state
ment as an expression of opinion, Z"
the Prime Minister said.
Mr.. Churchill claimed that Lord
Alexander's remarks had done nc
harm to the security of United
Nations troops in the field. He
added that Gen. Bradley's objec-
tions to mentioning the reserve
strength were based on fears that
it might be misinterpreted if made
publicly.

Price-Fixing Bill Sent
TO White House After
Easy Victory in Senate

The So-called fair trade"
price fixing bill headed for the
White House today, after a hard
fought, but lopsided victory in
the Senate.
Opponents of the measure hope
for a veto. Such action would
have the effect of killing the bill
until next year. With Congress
expected to close up shop this
week end, there would be no op-
Iportunity to override a veto.
Proponents beat down four OPP
position amendments in the Sem
ate last night before approving
the bill, 64 to 16. Thirty-five
Democrats and 20 Republicans
voted for the measure, while six
Republicans joined 10 Democrats
IagainSt it.
Would Force Compliance.
Purpose of the bill is to make
all retailers abide by price-fix
agreements which. legal in As
States. can be applied to brand
name commodities through con-
tracts between manufacturers and
retailers.
The Supreme Court ruled last
year that retailers in the fair
trade" areas could not be held
liable for cut-rate sales if they did
not actually sign contracts. The
Federal bill would force these
non-signers to observe the mini
mum prices.
Senator Morse, Republican, Of
Oregon, said he guessed the Presi-
dent would veto the measure.
Others based their hopes for a
veto on the fact that the Justice
Department and Federal Trade
Commission have opposed 1t.
Douglas Leads Critics.
Critics Of the bill. led by Sem
ator Douglas, Democrat, of Illinois.
said it violates the spirit of anti
trust laws, and will increase re-
tail prices. It's supporters denied
increases will result. and said it
is needed to protect small Iner-
chants against cut-throat prac-
tices by big competitors.
In one amendment aimed at the
latter objection, Senator Douglas
proposed that Congress outlaw So
called "loss leader" sales. These
are retail sales of items made
at less than the cost to the seller
for the purpose of Turing GUS
toners into stores.
The Douglas amendment was
beaten by a 69-to-12 roll-call
vote. Then, in succession, the
Senate shouted down two amend
ments by Senator Morse and one
by Senator Long, Democrat. Of
Louisiana.
