MiIitury Wing Takes
Control From Civilians
BY the Associated Press

BOGOTA, Colombia, June 13
Lieut.. Gen. Gustavo Rojas
Pinilla, commander of the Co.
lombian army. seized the presi-
dency of Colombia today in a
coup.
No violence was reported in the
seizure of the presidential pal
ace. Ofhcials said there were no
injuries but an air of tension had
prevailed.
washington sources said the
coup eliminates efforts of the
military wing of the Conserv-
ative party to seize power from
the civilian bloc.
It was said that the Colom-
bian government had been
dominated partially by the
military but that the army
group had become dissatisfied
with their civilian counter
parts.
No radical change in either
foreign or domestic affairs of
the Columbian government
was foreseen as a result of the
seizure of poWer.)
Reported Under Arrest.
Laureano Gomez, who had
taken over the presidency earlier
in the day. replacing Acting
President Roberto Urdaneta Ar
belaez, was reported unofficially
to be under arrest in his home.
This report could not imme-
diately be confirmed.
Gen. Pinilla announced that
he would make a radio address
to the nation at 1870 pm.
(EDT).
Pending his talk, details of the
coup were withheld.
Gomez retired temporarily
from the presidency in October,
1851, because of Ill health. Ur-
daneta, a former chairman of
the 60-nation U. N. political
committee in New York, took
over for him.
Shifts Key Job.
On May 25, Urdaneta reor.
ganized the cabinet and named
Lucio Pabon Nenez as minister
of war. Today Gomez shifted
again and gave that key job tt
Jorge Leyva. Leyva had beer
minister of public works.
Pinilla then surrounded the
presidential palace, which is rext
door to the ministry of war.
About a month ago Urdanets
tried to send Pinilla to Europe
to inaugurate a new Colombian
air service. At the last moment
Pinilla changed his mind ano

Excess Profit Tax Bill
Reed Keeping Measure
In Committee, Declores
Buckers Have No Case
By Robert K. Walsh

House committee hearings on
the excess profits tax extension
issue ended yesterday with ad-
ministration forces claiming IA
vorable votes but wondering how
to get a bill reported out.
Before banging the gavel to
end the II days Of hearings on
President Eisenhower's proposal
to continue the levy for six
months beyond June 30, Chair
man Reed of the Ways and
Means Committee fired this part
ing shot:
In my considered opinion the
administration has failed to make
a case"
He dropped the curtains, more
over, not merely on the open
hearings but on the question of
a closed committee meeting to
decide whether to let the House
vote on an extension bill.
No Plans for Meeting.
The New York Republican told
reporters there was mot a
chance" the committee would
vote this week. He did not say
he would refuse to call a COM
mittee meeting for that purpose
but he made clear he has no
immediate plans to do so.
The committee on Tuesday
starts a new set of hearings to
run three days a week until
hoped-for adjournment of Con-
gress in August. The excess
profits tax is not supposed to be
mentioned at these hearings
They will deal with general re-
vision of the tax laws. Mr.. Reeo
explained that "the scope oi
these hearings will not include
testimony on such problems az

tax rates, exemption levels anc
problems relating to the excess
profits tax"
He urged Congress to let the

Korea's President Syngman Rhee
will accept the truce terms in
spite of his present show of op-
position.
Associated Press reports from
Korea last night indicated that
the final signing of the truce
agreement might come within
the next few days. Allied staff
officers met with Red representa-
tives last night to work out final
details on the exchange of war
prisoners and to settle the line
marking a proposed 212-mile
buffer zone between the two
armies.
Two members of the allied
truce team who had been in
Japan flew back to Munsan yes
terday. 1t had been understood
that top delegates would be
called back only for high-policy
decisions. or for the final sign
ing of the agreement.
Taylor Sees Korean General.
Earlier, the United Nations
field commander in Korea, 1t.
Gen. Maxwell E. Taylor, met
with Mr.. Rhee's top military
man. Gen. Paik Sun Yup. the
South Korean army chief of
staff. who would have the job
of implementing any "go-it-
alone" military plan Mr.. Rhee
might order.
There were rumors in Seoul
that 16 South Korean divisions
might be withdrawn from Gen.
Taylor's United States 9th Army
command for independent ac-
tion, but there was no official
support for thea reports.
The new mood in Washington
reflects a sharp change from the
general pessimism earlier in the
week on the chances of an early
end to the three-year-old Korean
conflict. It has been brought
about by the removal of techni-
cal obstacles to signing the
cease-f1re agreement and partly
by what are considered indica-
tions that Mr.. Rhee will not go
through with his threat to carry
on the war alone.
Van Fleet Appeals to Rhee.
It is felt that Mr.. Rhee must
finally yield to the pressure
both official and private-to
which he is being subjected. It
is known that many of his most
trusted friends in this country,
including former United States
commander in Korea, Gen. James
A. Van Fleet, have urged him to
reverse his present stand.
Beyond this, it is felt that the
78-year-old Korean President is
political realist who is not
likely to let his emotions run
away with him. Specifically
there is doubt that the South
Korean Army, or, for that mat
ter, the majority of the people
