Peace PorIey

On higher levels, diplomats ne,
gotiated for a meeting at Pan
munjom to negotiate for a meet
ing somewhere else to negotiate
for a settlement of the Korean
question. 1t sounded complicated,
and it was: They were a long way
from settlement.
Peiping Radio, frequent Com
munist mouthpiece, had suggested
a meeting to plan out the political
conference.-the fix the date and
site and to decide who would at
tend. The American State De-
partment suggested the prelim-
mary talks start tomorrow at Pan
munjom, but said the U. N. side
did not agree that the question
of participants in the political con-
ference should be discussed. The
U. N. maintains that that ques-
ton was settled in August at the
General Assembly, when thumbs
were turned down on "neutrals."
Word was sent last week that the
Communists would attend the Pan
munjom meeting-and would dis
cuss invitations to "neutrals."
The State Department said the
U. N. side would show up and lis
ten but would not give in if Reds
talked about neutral participation.
Then the two sides began to ar
que over the building to be used at
Panmunjom. The U. N. wanted
to use the new Military Armistice
Commission headquarters. The
Communists held out for the old
peace Pagoda," where the truce
was signed.
It was a dead certainty that the
flnal political conference would
not open on Tuesday, the date
recommended in the truce agree
ment. The new target date, as far
as the United States is concerned,
is December l.

Democrats Turn Down
81 ConventionIdea
BY the Asseeiotsd Press

Congressional Democrats have
signalled thumbs down on a pro-
posed 1854 national convention
lest it split their party just ahead
of Senate and House elections.
Southern Democrats generally
are in a mood to boycott such a
convention if it is held, and
some of their Northern and
Western colleagues agree it
would be a political experiment
fraught with unusual dangers.
Although committees appoint
ed by National Chairman Ste
phen A. Mitchell have yet to
report, a croSS-section of opinion
among Democratic Senators
showed most of them opposed
the convention idea.
Senator Stennis of Mississippi
said he wants nothing to do with
any such convention. Senator
Hunt Of Wyoming said he
thinks there would be a lot Of
controversy over any efforts to
bring the national platform up
to date. Senator Holland of

Stirs Opposition as
House Hearings Start
By the Associated Press

A sharp economy" battle
shaped up in Congress today
around prospective budget cuts
of more than $500 million in
veterans funds requested for the
fiscal year starting July l.
The fact that the largest sin
gle cut is contemplated in hos
pital construction. medical care
and administration already has
touched off strong reaction in the
House. traditionally sensitive to
veterans affairs.
An appropriations subcommit-
tee began closed hearings today
on the Veterans Administration
budget of $4,295, ,046, ,664, some
$3.50 million less than requested
by former President Truman.
Organized counter measures
may be forthcoming after a
meeting of the House Veterans
Affairs Committee called for
Wednesday by Chairman Edith
Nourse Rogers of Massachusetts,.
Mrs. Rogers said she was sum-
moning VA officials and others
to get the facts" before the
House Appropriations Commit
tee can bring its recommenda-
tions to the floor for action.
Lewis X. Cough. National
Commander Of the American
Legion, objected strenuously to
proposed cuts in the VA hospital
program. He called them "a low
blow below the belt to the men
now fighting in Korea"
He said in a statement yes
day that President Eisen-
hower'S budget would trim 500
million from the 1921 million
suggested by former President
Truman for VA medical and
hospital care.
However, a VA spokesman who
declined use of his name said
the Eisenhower budget would
provide more money for hos
pitals than the VA got a year
ago. He said it would permit
hiring of 2,400 more hospital
personnel. All existing hospitals
will be kept operating. he said.
