For the committee intends to see
that these laws are observed in
practice"
The committee adopted a pro-
gram urging colored persons to
make full use of their rights and
also urged restaurants, bars,
soda fountains and other eating
and drinking places to comply
willingly with the law.
Also meeting last night was
the Restaurant Beverage Associ-
alton. Copies of the 1873 law
were distributed, as we'll as the
police enforcement order. James
F. ODonnell, executive secretary,
commended the manner in
which the police will enforce
the law and especially the tone
in which the order was drafted.
Strict Compliance Seen.
"The Supreme Court has made
a decision and now it is in the
interests of everyone to comply
strictly with the law" he told
the members.
Meanwhile, during the first
day. the Washington Restaurant
Association reported on can
vass it made of so restaurants
to see how the law was working.
In 10 cases, the association said,
colored persons entered what
were formerly white restaurants.
John 8. Cockrell, executive
secretary of the restaurant group,
said the reaction of the members
was that, since it now was the
law. they would comply with it.

U.N. Leaders Operate
In Hope Rhee Plans
To Yield al VeyLast
BY the Assoeiated Press

TOKYO. June 1o.-Top United
Nations officials are operating or
the theory that at the last
minute South Korea's President
Syngman Rhee will agree tc
terms Of Korean truce.
But they admit they are taking
q calculated risk.
There have been no threats. nc
promises. and no pleading with
the fiery old leader who Is threat
ening to wreck a Korean arm
istice.
Switzerland'S Terms.
THE U. N. command believes
Rhee will drive the buggy to the
edge of the cliff, but never whip
the horses a step further" one
source said. That is the risk
we have to take. It's a calcu-
lated risk, and we calculate Rhee
will agree when the time comes" ="
News that Switzerland had re-
fused to serve on the neutral ma
ton commission for the ex-
change of prisoners of war un-
less South Korea was satisfied
with the terms will only help
bring the ROK government into
line, it is predicted.
Gen. Mark Clark and his ad-
visers were said to believe this
is the only way to look at the
Rhee situation, because all but
one of his demands have been
complied with.
President Rhee has said his
government would not respect a
Korean truce so long as the coun-
try was not unified and so long
as one Chinese Communist SOL
dier remained in Korea.
"On to the Yalu!" Rhee Slo-
eans cried.
No Steps by Force.
AS for the first specification,
the U. N. command is already
committed to withdraw its troops
from Korea and so are the Chi
nese, as soon as details for the
withdrawal are settled at a peace
conference.
But the U. N. command never
can agree to march on to the
Yalu and unity Korea by force,
any more than it could agree to
unity Germany or Austria by
force.
Evening star., 1953-06-10

g pm. today. Washington time.
The mood was optimistic.
But unless the South Korean
or Swiss stand were to change,
it obviously would be necessary
to reopen the prisoner exchange
agreement. already signed by
the Communists, for further
negotiations to select a replace
ment for Switzerland.
Authorities here feared the
Swiss announcement actually
would encourage President Rhee
of South Korea to hold out
against truce. He has in
sisted that any armistice which
leaves Korea divided is unac-
ceptable. His government has
denounced the prisoner of war
exchange agreement specifi-
cally.
There has been considerable
feeling here that Mr.. Rhee was
staging a gigantic bluff in an
nouncing his country's deter
mination to keep on fighting the
Communists after a truce along
present terms. 1t was felt that
he would see the futility of try
ing to carry on the war alone
without the ammunition and
other supplies that have been
coming from the United States.
The Swiss action, however
could mean to the South Ko-
rean President that his STRAIT
egy in trying to stave off a truce
leaving his country divided is
working. This sign of success
might we'll make him change his
mind even if he had intended
to go along with a U. N. truce at
the last moment.
Another likely complication
which would further strengthen
Mr.. Rhee'S hand is the reaction
of India, selected as key men,
ber of the five-nation neutral
repatriation commission.
The U. N. command and the
Communists have agreed that
India would be the umpire" in
the commission to be composed
of Switzerland, Sweden, Czecho-
slovakia and Poland to take
temporary Jurisdiction over
prisoners resisting repatriation
to their Communist homeland.
The agreement calls for India
to supply troops for the COM
mission
The South Koreans have in
dicated that the Indian troops
would have to fight their way
ashore if they accepted the as
signment.
Indian Reply Delayed.
While the Indian government
indicated sometime ago that it
would participate in the COM
mission, it has not yet replied
to the joint invitation from the
u. N. command and the Com
munists. The South Korean re-
sistance to the arrangement OBJ
viously would make India re-
luctant to participate.
Reports from New Delhi last
night quoted Authoritative
sources" as saying the Nehru
government would require as
suranceS of South Korean ap-
proval before accepting a truce
supervising role.
Sweden is the only country so
far to have announced agree
ment to participate in the COM
mission.

into military service before they
were selected from the civil serv-
ice registers for Government jobs.
The measure would place them
at the top of the particular civil
service job register they were on
and would also credit them for
their military time toward pro-
motion raises in the Govern
ment.
MALES PREDOMINATE-The
AFL American Federation Of
Government Employees recently

files to find the answer to an Oft

He said the District has noti-
fed the Washington Hotel Asso-

Shortly after. Joseph c. Nc
Garraghy, association counsel
notified authorities that men,

On another point, 10 v. Nor

sci that members will post price
lists on their premises as re-
quired by the old law.
But in constituting another Sec

Counsel West said eating and
drinking places will not have to
file their price lists with city au-
thorities unless specifically re-
quested. Price list filing, in other
words, will be held in abey-
ance," Mr.. Gray said.
Meanwhile, the assistant cor
poration counsel said, reports
he has received show that the
transition to non-segregation
was being accomplished smoothly
and calmly the first day after
the court ruling.
To Distribute Copies.
He said that, to aid all affected
parties, the city intends to have
reproduced about $500 copies Of
the 1873 Act for distribution.
The hotel question also came
up last night at a victory" meet
ing of the Co-ordinating Com
mitee for the Enforcement OF
District Anti-Segregation Laws,
held at 1015 M street NV. Mrs.
Mary Church Terrell, prominent
colored educator, has played an
active role on the committee.
In a statement, the committee
said 1t is the opinion of David
Rein, its attorney, that the pre-
decessor 1872 act, which requires
all hotels to provide lodging
without discrimination on ac-
count Of color, also was upheld
by the Supreme Court decision.
Mr.. Gary. however. earlier had
pointed out that the high courts

with lodgings.
Declaring that it will follow up

fed. they are prosecuted. the
committee stated:

oner of war exchange agreement
being a part of it. And the pris-
oner agreement signed Sunday
cannot, by it's terms, become
effective until all five neutral
nations to be members of the
repatriation commission have &C
ceded to it.
This meant that an armiStice
could not be completed until the
Swiss were lined up for the COM
mission. or a substitute neutral
nation were agreed upon at PAN
munjom.
There appeared. to be more
hope here of perSuading Swift
zerland to reconsider than of
inducing the South Koreans, to
give advance approval to a truce
that leaves Korea divided.
American officials were under
stood to be urging the Swiss to
take into account all the broad
political problems involved and
not stand on a decision ap-
parently based on narrow legal
iStic grounds.
Pressure Stepped Up.
Political pressure on South
Korea to go along with the
truce was stepped up. But the
main hope in that direction is
that South Korea might reluc-
family accept an armistice once
1t is signed. holding out to the
last moment.
Reports from Panmunjom,
meanwhile, indicated the negoti-
ators were going cheerfully about
the business of putting an armis-
tice paper in final form. Ap-
parently the full significance of
events elsewhere had not yet
penetrated to the truce tent.

Alexandra CounciImen
Propose BUDGET Cut

Three Alexandria councilmen
have come up with a revised
1884 budget proposal which
would require no new taxes or
tax increases.
Mayor Marshall j. Beverley,
Vice Mayor Leroy S, Bendheim
and Councilman James M. Dun
can. jr., presented their $6.8 mil
lion budget to other members of
the council at a meeting last
night. The budget proposal of
City Manager Ira F. Willard
totaled $7.2 million and con-
templated a 2 per cent general
sales tax.
The three city officials plan
would increase anticipated rev.
enue by $127,000 and would cut
expenditures by $422, 300. OF the
reduction. $105,000 would be

which after that date would bar
employees with more than 26 days
of accumulated leave from saw
ing up any additional leave from
year to year.
The conferees will meet again
at 2 pm. tomorrow. Despite the
sharp disagreement yesterday,
they said there is a good chance
for an agreement.
A compromise seems to be in
the offing. Both sides already
are agreed that the June 30
deadline for use of 1852 annual
leave be lifted. The compromise
being talked about would allow
employees to accumulate up to
40 or As days of leave each year.
Employees who already have in
excess of whatever figure was
chosen would not be able to
accumulate any more. At least,
that is one compromise being
suggested.
Among the four House con-
ferees who were against outright
repeal of the ThasnaS rider, the
most vehement was Representa-
tive Murray, Democrat, of Ten
neSsee. Mr.. Murray declared the
House would not stand for out
right repeal, and he said he
would not sign the conferees re-
port if it provided for that.
Three other House conferees,
Mr.. Rees and Representatives
St. George, Republican, of New
York and Davis, Democrat, of
Georgia also argued for the
House bill. Representative Cor
bett, Republican, of Pennsylvania
favored outright repeal.
AS the meeting broke up, one
of the conferees remarked to a
reporter: Were in disagreement
as of the moment. But I'm sure
that We'll get together. Govern
ment employees who haven't
taken all of their 1852 annual
leave in hopes that we would
eliminate the June 80 deadline
have nothing to worry about.
We won't let them down."
