US. and France Discuss Placing Invasion of Laos Before United Nations

WASHINGTON, R- US. off cials refused Thursday to accept as final a decision by France to oppose placing the Communist in vasion of Laos before the United Nations.
 The French stand was outlined to American Ambassador Douglas Dillon in Paris Sunday night, and disclosed in the French capital Thursday.
 The disclosure followed a state ment by Secretary of State Dulles in testimony to a congressional committee Wednesday that this country was exchanging views with France, Laos, Viet Nam and Thailand on the question of talk ing the case to the LIN.
 Responsible officials said pri- vately that they were certain the United States would ask. the gov ernment Of France to reconsider its opposition. As one reason for that belief, they pointed out indi- cations that Thailand may make the LIN. effort on it's own because the Laos aggression is a threat to Thailand.

SCHOOL NEWS
Third Grade

Ethel Ailak left our class last month and is now at the Chil- dren's Home at Fairbanks. Many of us wrote a letter to her.
 We have received many letters from children in far-away towns in answer to letters we sent out earlier in the year Some of the letters contained pictures of inter- esting things near the homes of these children.
 Multiplication has proved to be an interesting part of our arith- metic as we compete with one another in learning the various tables.
 Our final spelling contest with the other third grade class was won by Ronald Tingook.
 Children having a perfect at tendance for the last six weeks period were: Carol Carlson, Gerry Cavota, Roy Dimmick, Alfred Moses, Linda Ray, Susie Savok, Cora Senungnetuk, Pauline Sir loak, Ronald Tingook and Arlene AhWinona.

Allies Consider New Commie Offer To Break Truce Deadlock By
 Leaving Unwilling POWs In Korea

PANMUNJOM, R- The Com munists Thursday offered a new compromise plan to break the Korean truce deadlock, lowing to Allied insistence that no prisoners of war who refuse to go home be taken out of Korea
 The eight-point Red plan also proposed five-nation neutral commission as caretaker for the 48,000 Red prisoners who refuse to go back to Communism. Both sides previously have suggested one nation for that job.
 The new proposal was rever- sal of the Reds earlier demand that these prisoners be sent bodily to the neutral country.
 Even though the Reds made it clear the Allies must accept all or nothing, this appeared to be the first major break since the truce talks reopened April 26 in an ef- fort to agree on exchange of pris- oners, last major barrier to an armistice.
 It. Gen. William K. Harrison, chief Allied delegate, said: "This is an important proposal that merits careful and considerable thought. Our major decisions must be made by the governments themselves"
 The next meeting is scheduled for Saturday.
 The Red plan contains two con- sessions to Allied demands:
 l. A five-nation neutral repa- triation commission to take GUS tody-in Korea-of the Reds who won't go home. The Reds suggest ed Sweden, Switzerland, Poland, CZechoslavakia and India.
 2. A total of four or six months rather than nine for those prison CTS to hear Red explanations and perhaps decide to go home. At the end of that time, the future of those remaining would be de- cided by a political conference of warning nations, as the Reds have demanded.

Union did not want to cooperate
in international matters, giving as
his reason the fact that the Union
had not disarmed, while the West
had.
The representative said that
mnay countries = France, the
United States, Britain, among
others - had enjoyed "primacy" in
the world and perhaps some
thought that the Soviet Union
should have a chance at "primacy."
He then made it clear that in the
circumstances of today, this would
mean universay war and human
suicide. He could not believe, he
said, that it was the Soviets des-

he said, but had instead cleaned
that the Soviet Union was supply

1945 treaty of friendship with

strange that his treaty, signed
with Nationalist China and "de-
stroyed" by the Soviet Union by
its help to the Chinese Connu-
nists, should now be invoked by the
Soviet Union as an instrument for
support of its present policies.

former Russian Representative to

rassed by the speech of Peru's DR..
Victor Andres Belaunde in the
U.N. political meeting recently. In
q speech nearly two hours long,
the Peruvian representative, by
scholarly, convincing and passion
ate phrases, placed the responsible
ity of the Korean conflict in the
lap of Russia.
Penetrating to the roots of the
situation, DR.. Belaunde took sew
eral retrospective looks into the
world tragedy. He stated that he
had always admired the Russian
people-their heroic stand against
Napoleon, their fight at Stalingrad.
Although he abhorred dictatorship
and state control, he said he had
hoped that some day there would
be a better standard of living for
the people of the Soviet Union.
The speaker went on to say that
he admired Russian history and
literature and that he had no
prejudices against them. But he

School Tomorrow Night

School Tomorrow Night
Tomorrow night at 8 pm. the
curtains will open on the annual
production of the Junior Class of
John Bassett Moore High School.
This year the play to be presented
is Daphne, by Florence May.
Every effort has been made to pro-
duce an outstanding play. The
stage settings have been redesign-
ed by George l.. Galley; extra
scenery has been papered; sound
effects have been wired out as
realistically as possible; and new
techniques of lighting have been
employed. Daphne" is mystery
comedy filled with humor, sus-
pense, and surprises. In the play
Daphne is the name of spiteful
woman, who declared at her death
that no other woman would or
should ever live as mistress of her
home, Rockhaven. Daphne placed
a curse on all women who should
rule the house. Each fiancee of a
Talbot, which was Daphne's last
name, met with mysterious
death. The legend was forgotten.
The deaths seemed accidental to

keeper and the family lawyer.

First TideIand Leases
Since AT Sold by Texas
BY the Assoeiatsd Press

AUSTIN, Tex, Sept. 2.-TexaS
yesterday sold its first tideland
oil leases since November, 1947,
when the Federal Government
claimed title to the offshore lands.
Four 640-acre tracts three miles
offshore in Jefferson County
brought 1929, 900.
Sales were suspended during
the long fight over ownership.
The United States Supreme
Court upheld the Federal Gov
ernment in February, 1850, but
Congress this year reversed that
decision. President Eisenhower
signed the bill restoring Texas
title to the 1912 mile mark on
April %.
Stanolind Oil Co. was the sue
cesSful bidder in the tidelands
acreage.
