Communist proposal for imme-
diate resumption of negotiations
to set up a Korean peace con-
ference.
The State Department envoy
who for seven weeks wrangled
with the Red diplomats at Pan
munjom said he won't return to
the conference table unless the
Communists retract charges that
the United States connived with
South Korea to release 27.000
anti-Red war prisoners last
June.
Mr.. Dean broke of the talks
Saturday.
A Communist note delivered
early today suggested immediate
resumption Of negotiations. But
an allied spokesman said the
note also repeated "the Red

Mr.. Dean. on his arrival in

tiationS because they do not
dare to have the subject of the
non-repatriated prisoners aired"
at the peace conference.

anti-Communist North Korean
and Chinese prisoners who over7

And South Korean President
Syngman Rhee in a statement
called Mr.. Deans walkout "a
signal victory" that will tire

spirit of all the anti Communist

Mr.. Rhee branded as false the
Red accusation that the Uuted
States Government connived
with him in the release of the
$1,000 anti-Red prisoners who
fled from their stockades last
June. Mr.. Rhee has taken full
responsibility for the release.

To Consider County
AS Refugee Center
In Atomic Attack

The possibility of Garrett county
being designated refugee center
in case of an atomic attack on near
by industrial areas, will be dis
cussed at a meeting called by John
Elliott, county director of Civil De-
Tense for Tuesday, August 4th, at
the William-James hotel at 1880 o.
clock.
L. w. Upton, finance officer of
the Maryland Civil Defense, will
assist in the discussion. Also at
tending the meeting with Mr. Ell
lott will be Maurice Treacy, ground
observer; Lowell LoomiS, supply
officer; and Robert w. Stemple,
welfare officer
Shelter BIueprints Available
Mr.. Elliott announced that blue
prints for three types of shelters
for family protection in an atomic
attack may be secured at the Ruth
Enlow library in Oakland.
The three types are the outdoor,
corner room and lean-to. These
shelters all proved their ability to
withstand atomic blasts and radia-
ton during the 1858 atomic tests
at the Atomic Energy Commits
sion's proving ground in Nevada,
it was stated.
Elliott pointed out the likeliest
targets for atomic attack are con-
sidered to be areas in which pop
ulation and industry are found in
greatest concentrations, but he
added that it should be recognized
that some risk of inaccurate or hap
hazard bombing is present in areas
other than those of large cities.
Mr. Elliott is acquainted with
civil defense problems in this
county and will give guidance and
advice as to the type of shelter
best suited here.

May Form Three
New Voting Precincts

The formation of three new vOt-

the appointment of officers of reg

for serious discussion by the Board
of Election Supervisors when they
meet this Saturday Members of the
board include William L. Gibson
Grover c. Stemple and Benz. F.

Members of the Board stated that
for the most part the names of the
officers of registration and cleo
ton would remain the same as for
the previous election.
The Supervisors must decide soon
on the splitting of three precincts
which have become overburdened
with voters. District 5, Accident,
has 625 registered voters, and prob
ably will be divided, with precinct
one containing the names of the
voters from A through j, and pre-
cinct two containing the names of
voters from X to L.
The third precinct of District IA,
West Oakland, has 703 registered
voters. This precinct already con-
tains the names of those in district
ID from X to Y, SO that some fur
Their division will be necessary.
District Is has 1877 registered
voters and the division here prob
ably will follow the regular pat
tern Of precinct one having those
registered whose names are from
A through j, and precinct two hav-
ing those registered whose names
are from K to L.
At present there are twenty-four
polling places in the county, the
Kempton precinct having been
combined with Red House at the
last election. Should the proposed
divisions be carried out the
county will have twenty-seven poll
ing places in the sixteen election
districts.
