Czech Olympic Champion
Spurns American Bids
RY fha Associnfad Pras,

VIENNA, Aug. 18.-Emil zato-
pek, CzechoSlovakia's triple gold
medalist in the recent Olympics,
spurned bids to visit the United
States today, calling the offers
ridiculous, unsportsmanlike."
The world marathon champion,
broadcasting over the Prague ra-
dio, said while at Helsinki he had
received numerous offers to run
in America. He said, however,
the offers were to run on Circus
tracks unsuitable for his long dis
tance running.
Zatopek said the United States
was indirectly responsible for his
record-breaking feats at Helsinki,
where he won the 5000 and 10000
meter runs.
"It was the brustal and harsh
play Of the United States ice
hockey team In the winter Olym-
pics which drove me to my most
recent performances" he said. II
made o pledge to win at least two
gold medals for my country"

Truce Talks to Resume

MUNSAN, Korea, Aug. 1872
United Nations and Communist

recess that produced no visible
hint of progress.
They probably will pick up right
where they left off last week
arguing fruitlessly over prisoner
of war exchange. The only issue
blocking an armistice for Korea
Since July 26 the truce teams
have met only once a week. AT
each session they called another
seven-day recess.
The Communists are insisting
that 10000 Red prisoners, includ-
ing all 10000 Chinese in Allied
hands, be returned.
The U.N. offers only to return
$4,000 captives, including 6,40O
Chinese. The U.N. says the rest
of the prisoners in U.N. camps de-
clare they will fight to keep from
being sent back to North Korea

By jones (. Roper

Secretary Of Agriculture Bran
nan and Senator Aiken. Repub-
lican, of Vermont, tangled last
night over who's the farmers pal,
who tells falsehoods and who's a
flea.
That was the start of open
Democratic and Republican cam
paigning for the farm vote in the
coming elections.
Secretary Brannan and Sena-
tor Aiken, appearing on a radio
TV program, each claimed he was
the farmers friend. Secretary
Brannan said Senator Williams,
Republican, Of Delaware had told
''falsehood after falsehood" about
the Democratic bid for farm votes
in 1948. And the Secretary told a
iStory comparing Senator Aiken to
a flea. although he said this was
nothing personal"
Secretary Brannan predicted
farmers will stick with the Demo-
cratic Party this year because the
administration has done many
things which I think farmers
know. understand and appreciate. +"
He strongly backed mandatory
farm price supports at 80 per
cent of parity "as a floor" hint
ing that these supports actually
should go higher,
Plugs Flexible Supports.
Senator Aiken plugged the Re-
publicans' campaign for flexible
tprice supports that would let the
Agriculture Department scale
down support prices when produc-
ton is large. This is intended to
discourage farmers from over
production in some crops-as in
the case Of potatoes, when price,
props were high.
Senator Aiken. on the basis of q
recent Senate investigation,
charged widespread collusion
and corruption" in administration
of the farm program. He claimed
the administration has run the
program in some instances fol
political purposes" but predicted
thousands and thousands (oi
farmers) are going to leave the
democratic Party because they
resent being hoodwinked"
Assails Deceit Charge.
Secretary Brannan assailed Sen.
ator Williams for stating in the
Icurrent Saturday Evening Post
that the Secretary and President
Truman deliberately deceived
farmers in 1948 to WOO them away
from the Republicans.
j IT think 1t is one of the most
shameful pieces Of public informa-
ton that has been put out in a
long time" Secretary Brannan
said. There is falsehood after
tfalsehood in the article"
He chided Senator Aiken for
stating that Republicans promoted
some of the best parts Of the pres
ent farm program.
"It reminds me Of the story OF
the donkey which was crossing the
bridge with the flea riding on his
back" Secretary Brannan said

bids for the property-$1 $50 900
and $1,000, 0,000-but was turned
down both times. He said the
agreement, with Mr.. McCloskey
was for purchase of the shipyard
for 81, ,250,000.
When these bids were rejected.
according to the 1947 testimony,
Mr.. McCloskey withdrew and told
Mr.. Wolfson he was under no
obligation since they had been
unable to get the shipyard for
the stipulated price.
Mr.. Wolfson testified that he
insisted that Mr.. McCloskey ac-
cept $40, 900 for his trouble. Mr..

to give it to his associates.
Thereafter, Mr.. Wolfson said.
he gave $1,000 each to Mr.. Nc
Closkey's two sons. $4,000 to Mr..

$25, 900 to David r. Knapp, the
resident plant engineer for the

Mr.. Weber explained to the sub.
committee that he and Mr..
Knapp, who had since died, were
partners in a scheme to set. up
a steel mill and the $25, 900 was
made to Mr.. Knapp to buy up hts
half interest.
When the re-opening of the
case was announced. Mr.. Wolf
son said in Florida that the
charges about irregularities had
been kicked around by every
politician in Washington and
Florida"

For instance. with cocktails try

the icebox to get very cold. Just
before serving slice them cross
wise in half-inch thick slices, and
arrange on a chilled plate. De-
licious. crunchy-and guaranteed
to set up thirst.
Or use small picked onions as

rolling the cheese around them
