The United States sharply
prodded Red China and North
Korea today to say whether and
when they will be prepared to
enter a political conference on
Korea.

both "is imperative" if the con-
ference recommended in the Ko-
rean armistice agreement is to
take place in the time set in the
armistice agreement.
The United States note was re-
leased here by the State Depart

bluntly and officially that efforts

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 8.-State and

Any resemblance between the
big truck pictured on the forth
coming stamp honoring the
trucking industry and any manu-
facturer's individual make will
be strictly coincidental.
Post Office officials said today
Postmaster General Summerf1eld
has ordered the original stamp
design done over because he got
complaints, after pictures of the
proposed stamp were published
recently, that the machine looked
too much like one make.
Most of those who closely ex-
amined the pictures thought the
truck was a REQ, produced at
Lansing, Mich. Others saw re-
semblances to other makes.

Court Dismisses Suit
To Upset County
Property RevaIuation
Montgomery Supervisor
Ordered to Answer
Charges of Citizens

A suit to upset the recent sub
urban Montgomery County prop
erty reassessment and to force a
Statewide reassessment was dis
missed today in Montgomery
County Circuit Court.
At the same time, however, the
court overruled a demurrer to the
suit filed by Wilton T. Allen,
county supervisor of assessments,
and ordered him to file an an
swer within IS days to allegations
that he failed to keep posted on
sales of property in the county
Opposed Increase in Values.
The suit was filed several
months ago by attorneys James
P. Parker and Elizabeth A. Allen
on behalf of several members OF
the Home Owners Tax League,
Inc. The league was organized
last year to fight the reaSsess-
ment program that brought sharp
increases in tax book property
values.
Chief Judge Charles w. Wood
ward and Judge Stedman Pres
colt granted the motion to dis
miss filed by members of the
State Tax Commission. The
court also upheld the demurrer
of the County Appeals Tax Court
The suit had alleged that the
tax commission had failed to
formulate policies that would re-
suit in equalization of assess
ment throughout the State. The
suit asked that such policies be
established and that a State
wide reasSessment based on them
be undertaken.
Should Sue in Baltimore.
The court said it believed the
tax commission had to be SueC
in Baltimore, where it's principal
office is located primarily because
of the inconvenience of bringing
its records to the county. The
court noted. however, that if the
charges against the State Tax
Commission were supported in
fact. they constitute grave and
serious dereliction of public
duties. resulting in substantial
loss and injury to the taxpayers
Of Montgomery County that
should be promptly and fully
corrected"
The court made it clear that
it was thoroughly aware of the
Importance of the charges
against the State Tax Commits
sion and was not ruling on their
validity.
The court said that although
Mr.. Allen admitted he had failed
to keep posted on sales, it did
not necessarily follow that the
tax court in determining the ac-
tual assessments did so without
adequate basis.
The court, in effect. ruled out
Mr.. Parker's request that re-
assessments be upset and that
this years tax bills be based on
the 1948-49 assessment value.

By Gornett D. Homer

The United States and Great
Britain today announced plans
for turning over to Italy the
zone of the disputed Trieste
territory they have been ad-
ministering since World War II
including the city of Trieste.
A formal announcement, is
sued simultaneously here and in
London, said the two govern
ments expect this move will
lead to final peaceful solu-
ton" of the dispute between
Italy and YugoSlavia over
Trieste. officials conceded, how
ever, that neither Italy nor
Yugoslavia was likely to be
happy over the immediate action.
The turnover in the admins
tration of the Western Zone A
will take place at the earliest
practicable date" the announce
ment said. Officials said they
hoped this would be only mat
ter of weeks.
The joint announcement re-
called that it has been impossible
to carry out Italian peace treaty
provisions for disposition of the
Trieste territory, which since the
war has been divided between
Yugoslav and British-American
administration. Yugoslavia occu-
pies Zone B.
No Alternative Seen.
The statement continued:
I'm these circumstances, the
two governments see no alterna-
tive but to bring the present un-
satisfactory situation to an end
They are no longer prepared to
maintain responsibility for the
administration of Zone A.
"They have therefore decided
to terminate the Allied Military
Government, to withdraw their
troops, and having in mind the
predominantly Italian character
of Zone A, to relinquish the ad-
ministration of that zone to the
Italian Government"

Panels 10 Be Set Up
To Guide Rehiring Of
. u. 5. Career Workers
csc and Each Agency
To Name Joint Groups
Next Week for Study

The Civil Service Commission
and individual Government
agencies next week will set up
a series of joint panels to super
wise the re-hiring of dismissed
Government career workers.
Civil Service Commission Off
cials explained today that this
program will carry out President
EisenhoWer's determination to
give career workers a break
despite reductions in force. Com
mission Chairman Philip Young
relayed this view to agency
heads yesterday.
To carry it out csc will ap-
point two persons to work with
representatives of each Federal
department or agency. The de-
partment or agency will appoint
two or more representatives to
sit on the panel.
The panel then will review the
jobs held in the agency by in
definite employees. They will
study the list of dismissed
careerists to see which posts they
are qualified to take over from
indefinite workers.
DiSmiSsals of some indefinite
employees would follow.
In theory, there will be sep
arate panel for each agency
Some, however, will be abolished
before the others are formed.
CSC officials said four or five
panels will be foTmed Monday
to start examining the payrolls
of agencies which have the most
indefinite employees and thus
offer the greatest opportunity
for providing jobs for dismissed
careeriStS. Officials refused tt
say which agencies would be the
first targets for the study.

Yard Examined Closely.

MEANWHILE, at SC. Joseph, MO-,
b5 miles north of here, FBI men
were reported minutely eXamin-
ing the yard and home of one of
the abductorS held in st. Louis,
Mrs. Bonnie Brown Heady, Al
Twenty FBI agents were re-
ported even sitting garbage taken
from the home in the last two
weeks.
The child's body was dug yes
terday from a shallow grave in
Mrs. Heady's backyard after she
and her boy friend, 34-year-old
Carl Austin Hall, were arrested
at st. Louis for the kidnapping.
The arrests followed payment of
100000 ransom by the boys
wealthy parents.
Several Points Not Clear.
Several key points in the case
were shrouded with uncertainty
today.
What had happened to the
100000 of ransom money
missing? Hall told St. Louis
police he planned the ransom
payment alone after Marsh
killed the boy a few hours after
the kidnapping September % and
disappeared.
There was speculation here
that Marsh himself may have
been killed. But the hunt con-
tinued at least on a State level.
The FBI simply wasn't talk
ing. All it would say was that
no Federal warrant had been
issued.
But the FBI's agents were re-
ported to have found an ak at
the Heady home. 1t was
covered with a substance, re-
sembling blood. Also found at
the home was a long-handled
shovel, the kind used by grave
diggers and sewer and trench
workers. It was new, but had
some particles of dirt on it.
Two Teeth Missing.
Two of the Greenlease boys
teeth were missing when his
body was dug up. ST. Joseph
Jail TRUSTEES were at the Heady
home today sitting dirt in an
effort to find them and other
clues.
DR.. H. F. Mundy, coroner, said
the bullet fired into little Bobby's
head had not been found, either.
Reports from persons in scat
tered areas saying they have seen
some one answering MarSh's de-
scription have been received since
word went out he was wanted for
the kidnap-slaying.
The Kansas City police broad
cast a pickup order for him,
but insisted it didn't know what,
if anything, the FBI was doing
in the hunt.
Seven States were reported
alerted.
Various Reports Received.
Reports of men resembling
Marsh came from opposite ends
of New York State, raising the
possibility he is. or has been, in
the New York City area. The

fight the charges on which they
were suspended from jobs at the
Army Signal Corps radar re-
search laboratories at Fort Mon
mouth, N. j.
The Army said yesterday it
has given no one outside the ex-
ecutive branch of the Govern
ment the names Of the suspend
ed employees or any information
about the case. It declined to
give even the number involved
or the precise nature of the
charges.
Army Helps PrOberS.
However, an Army spokesman
said it was cooperating with the
Senate Investigations subcom-
mittee headed by Senator Nc
Carthy, Republican, of Wiscon-
sin. The spokesman said the
Army is permitting the group
to Question Fort Monmouth
workers.
Members of the subcommittee
staff were reported planning to
interrogate witnesses in the case
in New York today.
The three who named them
selves yesterday were:
Aaron H. Coleman, 35, of Long
Branch, N. j., quoted by the New
ark Evening News as saying he
was told by the Government that
he was being suspended because
of people he knew in college and
at work.
Harold Ducore, "a, also of Long
Branch, whom the News quoted
as saying he was suspended after
IL years of working on radar
projects at Fort Monmouth.
Hyam G. Yamins of Newton,
Mass, named in Boston by his
attorney, Samuel Markell, as one
of the suspended employees.
The News reported it was also
told by Mr.. Coleman:
Unfortunately, I was in the
same graduating class with Sobell
and some others. I had no social
relations with him after that.
But in my capacity as Govern
ment project engineer 1 met him
several times at the Reeves In
strument Corp. plant in New
York"
Asserts His Innocence.
Sobell was convicted of spying
along with Julius and Ethel Ro-
senberg, but his conviction did
not involve atomic secrets and
he was sentenced to 80 years
imprisonment. The Rosenbergs
were executed this summer.
II am completely innocent"
Mr.. Coleman said.
