Minute Change
Calculated Risk
Is Admitted In
Pursuing Truce
Negotiations
BY ROBERT EuNsoN

TOKYO R-Top U. N. officials
are operating on the theory that
at the last minute South Korea's
President Syngman Rhee will
agree to terms of Korean truce.
But they admit they are taking
a calculated risk.
There have been no threats, no
promises and no pleading with the
fiery old leader, who is threaten
ing to wreck Korean armistice.
''The UNC 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 calculated 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 exchange
of prisoners of war unless South
Korea was satisfied with the terms
will only help bring the ROK gov
eminent into line, it is predicted.
Gen. Mark Clark and his advis-
ers we're said to believe this is the
only way to look at the Rhee situa-
ton because all but one of his de-
mands have been complied with.
Rhee has said his. government
would not respect a Korean truce
so long as the country was not uni
fled and so long as one Chinese
Communist soldier remained in
Korea.
ION to the Yalu!" Rhee slogans
cried.
AS for the first specification, the
UNC is already committed to with
draw its troops from Korea and
so are the Chinese, as soon as de-
tails for the withdrawal are set
tied 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.
Free elections are one of the
principles of democracy on which
the Korean War was fought. The
UNC position is still to unity Ko-
rea by election.
''If the Communists should win
such an election, well then they
won, that's ALL" the source said.
"But we could not agree to setting
up the Rhee government in North
Korea by force, anymore than we
could agree to letting the Com.
munists invade South Korea by
force"
When the time comes, people
who should know believe Rhee viii
agree.

Eisenhower To
Speak Today
In Minnesota
International
Situation Is
Speech Topic
By MARVIN L. ARRowsMIrH

WASHINGTON Up - President
Eisenhower, keeping close watch
on Korean truce negotiations and
the possible obstacles to a settle
ment. flies to Minneapolis for a
speech today on the international
situation.
The presidential plane Column
bine was scheduled TO take off
from National Airport at 900 a. M,
EST, on the first leg of five-day
trip taking Eisenhower into Min
nesota, North Dakota, South Da-
kota, New Hampshire and New
York for five addresses.
He also plans a day of golf and
perhaps some trout fishing in the
South Dakota Black Hills area,
where President Calvin Coolidge
used to vacation.
White House Press Secretary
James C. Hagerty told newsmen
EiSenhower's first speech of the
series, at the convention of the
National Junior Chamber of Com
merce in the Minneapolis Auditor
ium, would be on the international
situation.
Arrangements were made for live
radio broadcasts over the ABC and
CHS radio networks at $3.50 p. m,
EST, and NBC planned a recorded
broadcast at $3.50 p. m, EST.
Hagerty declined to elaborate or
to say whether the President would
touch specifically on negotiations to
end the three-year-old war in Ko-
rea, and on developments threat
ening to jeopardize the settlement.
Indicating Eisenhower might do
so was White House decision to
defer advance distribution to news
men of the text of the Presidents
Minneapolis speech. Distribution
was put off until the time of Eisen
hower's departure from Washington
to allow for last-minute revision,
An aide who asked not to be
named said the uncertainty of the
Korean situation was the reason.
The travelling President viii be
in almost constant touch, through
White House communications facil-
tiles, with truce developments at
Panmuniom.
Hagerty said yesterday there was
then no prospect that the delicacy
of the Korean negotiations would
interfere with the Presidents trip
west, then on to New England and
New York. He returns Sunday
night.
After his Minneapolis speech, the
President planned to fly on to
Minot, N. D., and spend the night.
Tomorrow morning he will travel
by motor to Garrison Dam in North
Dakota, where he viii speak at
the dedication ceremonies. Then he
flies to Rapid City, S. D., for an
afternoon address at the conven.
ton Of the National Federation of
Young Republicans.
From there he will drive to the
South Dakota game lodge at Custer
State Park in the Black Hills. He
will remain there overnight and
devote Friday to golf and possibly
some trout fishing before heading
east again.

Armiistice Is
TOBe Written
In Final Form
Negotiaiors Hand
Last-Stage Job
To Staff Officers
By ROBERT q. TUckMAN

PANMUNJOM R - United Ma
tons and Communist truce nego-
tiators-their work apparently all
but finished-today handed staff Of
ficers the job of putting a Korean
armistice into final form, then re-
cessed indefinitely.
ALI signs still pointed to a cease
fire within the week, but these
developments clouded the picture:
1. Switzerland announced 1t
would not serve on the five-nation
prisoner repatriation commission
unless South Korea approves the
truce.
South Korean leaders reitera-
ted bitter opposition and anti-ar-
mistice demonstrations ragged in
Seoul for the second straight day.
3. A spokesman for Syngman
Rhee dashed reports that the South
Korean President win fly to Wash
ington to make a personal appeal
against the truce. Rhee, he said,
viii not leave Korea "st this time
of grave situations.
Deaths of what went on at to-
days plenary session at Panmun-
JON were not disclosed, but the
delegates presumably completed
their work.
After q minutes. they recessed
at Communist request subject to
call by either side.
Lower level officers then as.
sembled In the tiny truce hut and
repeatedly went 10 work on q re.
view Of the cease-fire line that will
separate Allied and Red forces dur.
ing a truce.
They met for an hour and So
minutes, then adjourned until
Thursday.
Meanwhile, thousands Of Korean
youths snaked through Seoul streets
in apparently well-organized dem
onstrations.
Shouting Yankee go home,'
they marched on U. N. and u. s.
buildings. but Awere held back by
military police.
In Washington. the Swiss move
worried officials. The State De-
partment repeatedly made it plain
to the Swiss legation that il hoped
Switzerland would reconsider.
U. S. authorities feared that IN.
less Switzerland changes its mind,
final agreement % the truce would
be delayed.
The other four nations named 10
