NEW YORK, July 27.-The
uneasy truce just launched in
Korea is matched by uneasy
business sentiment in the United
States.
Almost all phases of business
and industry are booming. Busi-
nessmen are becoming confident
that good times will continue if
nothing upsets the applicant.
Both Government and indus
try leaders are rushing to assure
the public that this cease-fire
won't change defense or tax
plans on the one hand, or busi-
ness production and expansion
plans on the other.
Uneasiness, however, on this
otherwise happy days comes from
two sources:
/. The widely-held belief that
the boom must be near or at it's
peak.
2. Fear that a psychological
let-doWn after a ceaSe-fire
Coupled with jubilation over
Russia's internal troubles) will
slow down Government spend
ing as O support of prosperity
and also make consumers and
businessmen alike more cautious
in their buying.
This could start the recession
so many businessmen anticipate.
And it could make the recession
sharper and deeper that ex-
pected.
Won't Curb Military Outlay.
Many business leaders, how
ever, are publicly scoffing at such
doubts.
General Motors President, H.
H. Curtice, points out that a
cease-fire in Korea will have
very little effect on the rate of
military spending for the rest Of
this year, He notes that 20 per
cent of industrial output now
goes for defense and doubts if
any cut-back would effect more
than four per cent Of overall in
dustrial output.
Other business estimates on
the cut-back range from 2 to
5 per cent of total gross ma
tional production-the sum Of all
the goods and services produced,
The National Association of
Manufacturers president, Charles
r. Slight, emphasizes that the
American economy is a peace
time economy, not one based on
war. He thinks the truce will
lead to gains in merchandising
and design and to reduction OF
production costs.
The president Of United States
Rubber, H. E. Humphreys, jr.
sees only some readjustrnent
ahead as an aftermath Of the
truce-"hardly more than a re-
turn to a normal level after the
peak of the defense production
we are now passing through"
Government economists echo
the belief that the business out
look is good with the truce play
ing a minor part. They warn
against "unjustified psychology
cal reaction"

tice records, we must think
also of the cost. We owe
much, indeed all humanity.
owes much, to the gallant
troops who fought under the
United Nations command. The
young Americans of our armed
forces wrote, often with their
blood, an epic chapter of heroic
response to duty. The brave
people Of the Republic of Ko-
rea, under the inspiring leader
ship Of President Rhee, sus-
tanned their will to fight in the
face of frightful suffering.
Also, is members of the United
Nations, in addition to the
United States, contributed VAL
liant fighting men to the United
Nations command. All of this
cost must be held in grateful
remembrance.
This hour, as we recognize
our debt, let us also recognize
that gratitude is not enough.
We face new tasks. An imme-
diate task is the binding up
of the wounds that war has
inflicted. We shall do so in
South Korea, and indeed in all
Korea, if uniflcation can be
achieved. We are no less de-
termined than before to achieve
this unif1cation. Since World
War II, it has been our firm
conviction that the unification
of the peninsula must come
about through political means
rather than by force. Moth
ing has happened to alter that
conviction. Now we shall press
forward, in political confer
ence, to end an unnatural divi-
sion which, so long as it per-
siSts, will be a potential cause
of strife.
Finally, in this hour, let us
recognize that the need for
effort and for sacrifice has not
passed. In war, men make
vast sacrifices for peace. Then.
when peace is won, they fail to
make the lesser sacrifices
needed to keep the peace. Let
us, this time, not relax, but
mobilize for peace the re-
sources, spiritual and material.
which we too often reserve for
war. Now more than ever we
are bound irrevocably to press
forward toward the goals of
universal peace and justice.

Tert of q statement by Sec
retGry OF State Dulles last night
on the signing of the Korean
ArmiStice. tolIotDS::
We welcome the Korean
armistice.
The commander of the
United Nations forces, with
whom are joined the troops
of the Republic of Korea, has
signed for his command. The
Communist commanders have
signed for their commands.
We hope that they have acted
and will proceed in good faith.
However, until that is demon
strated, the present armiStice
is by no means the equivalent
of assured peace. So, we shall
not relax our vigilance nor
shall we reduce our strength
in Korea until future events
show that this is prudent.
This is a solemn hour.
In this hour, it is fitting
that as God-fearing people we
should give thanks to the
Almighty that the killing and
manning Of man by man will
stop and that evil passions
will be allayed. That is q
precious gain for all who be-
lieve in human dignity and in
the moral law.
In this hour, we rejoice that
the shadow of apprehension
which, for over three years,
has darkened many a home is
now lifted. Tomorrow, no
new names will be added to
the long list of American
casualties. Also, our thoughts
go out eagerly to those of our
sons, for long months captives
of the enemy, who are now
to be returned. But our mood
is also one of sorrow as we
think of the many who never
will return, or who return
bearing grievous hurts.

BoIky POWs to Be Kept
In Buffer Zone Camps

TOKYO, July 27 (R.- The
United Nations and the Com
munists have agreed to send
prisoners of war who refuse re-
patriation to camps in the de-
militarized zone between the op-
posing armies. They will be
guarded by Indian troops.
South Korea has threatened
to open fire on Indian troops if
they land in South Korea.
President Syngman Rhee and
his government regard India as
o-Communist.
There have been reports that
the Indian troops would be flown
directly to the neutral zone.
The Indian troops will guard
the anti-Communist prisoners
while Red agents explain why
the POWs should return home.
The agreement was a supple
ment to the armiStice document
and was signed at Panmunjom
this morning by Gen. Nam II of
North Korea and 1t. Gen. Will
liam K. Harrison, jr. It was re-
leased this afternoon by u. N.
headquarters in Tokyo.

sharp climb in consumer credit.
For a time credit controls put a
partial brake on it. When con-
trolls were removed, the debt to-
tai mounted again and by May
was at record $26.7 billion. In
June, 1850, it was SITS billion.
National income growth sup
ports the increased consumer
credit-but if factory layoffs
should cut income, businessmen
might see q quick drying up of
purchasing power under the load
of consumer debt. The monthly
payments might take all a man
had to spend.
Note Production Growth.
Business also worries because
the Korean War set off a rush
to expand industrial plants and
buy new equipment. Some fear
industry'S capacity to produce
has grown faster than the civil
ian demand for its goods.
There has been some cutting
back recently in military orders.
and if more cancellations should
come, manufacturers fear idle
plants and worker layoffs will
follow.
The American industrial ma
chine is now geared to an annual
expansion rate af SIS billion a
year in the total output of goods
and services. A growing popu-
lation will take care of some OF
that. A continuing large defense
program will take care of some.
An increased standard Of living.
however, is necessary if all of it
is to be taken.
That's why the psychological
reaction to the truce will be
watched closely. If consumers
decide to postpone buying to see
what happens to prices and jobs
and if manufacturers turn cau-
tiouS and cut back production
and shorten the work week or lay
off workers, industry might find
itself with too much plant on
it's hands.
That's why business is uneasy
now. It's the uncertainty over
what may follow the event every
one is welcoming today-the
Silencing of the guns in Korea.

Eisenhower
Continued From First Page

which carried the text Of his
speech should be larger.
Because of the limited space,
less than a dozen reporters were
able to cover the broadcast and
the only members of the White
House staff who were there were
Mr.. Hagerty, Sherman Adams,
assistant to the President; Ber-
nard M. Stanley, counsel, and
Comdr. Edward L. Beach, naval
aide.
The President jokingly re-
marked that we've got a big
panel for this sustaining show
of ours"
The President set the tone of
his speech in his opening
sentences:
Tonight we greet with prayers
Of thanksgiving, the official news
that an armiStice was signed
almost an hour ago in Korea"
Quotes Lincoln.
He spoke of the sorrow and
desolation spread by the more
than three years of fighting;
paid tribute to the valor of the
South Koreans; warned that
there still may be pitfalls ahead,
and then drew from Lincoln's
second inaugural address to
voice mis- hope "for a just and
a lasting peace, among ourselves
and with all nations"
President Eisenhower returned
from his 48-hour trip to Quantico
about 3 pm. yesterday and went
directly to his study in the
White House to confer with staff
members, and null over his
forthcoming talk.
He and Mrs. Eisenhower dined
alone, and then remained in the
family sitting room on the second
floor until word Of the armistice
was received.
Secretary Of State Dulles, in a
radio and television statement
delivered after the Presidents
talk, said all free nations are
safer because of the lawful pun
ishment" inflicted on the Com
munists by the u. N. forces. "The
tragic result" for the Reds, he
said, twill surely be pondered by
other potential nominees for
aggression-b satellite"
Mr.. Dulles said "We shall not
relax our vigilance nor shall we
reduce our strength in Korea
until future events show that this
is prudent"
"For the first time in history
an international organization has
stood against an aggressor and
has martialed force to meet
force. The aggressor, at first vic
torious, has been repulsed. The
armistice leaves him in control
of less territory than when his
aggression began, and that terri
tory is largely wasted Qa1d
waste).
1.-THE North Korean army is
virtually extinct; the Chinese
and Korean Communist armies
have sustained about 2 million
casualties, and, Of the 10 mil
lion people of North Korea, one
out of every three have died
from the war ravages and the
inhuman neglect which their
rulers have imposed.
1.-The tragic result will surely
be pondered by other potential
nominees for aggression n-by -sa-
tellite.
"All free nations. large and
small, are safer today because
the ideal of collective security
has been implemented, and be-
cause awful punishment has
been visited upon the tranSgres-
sors."
Mr.. Dulles said also that the

armistice meant a triumph for
the principle of political asylum.
He referred to the Communists
abandonment of their demands
that all prisoners be forcibly re-
turned, even if they resisted 60
ing back to Communist rule.
"The consequences Of this de-
cision run far beyond Korea" /"
Mr.. Dulles said. "The Com
muniSt rulers now know that if
they wage another war of ag-
greSsion, those who unwillingly
served in their Red armies can
escape to freedom, confident
that they will never be handed
back. Thus the Red armies be-
come less dependable as instru-
ments of aggression and the
chance Of aggression is corre-
spondingly reduced"
Mr.. Dulles advised at the out
set that the armistice was by no

reduce our strength in Korea
until future events show that

Secretary Of Defense Wilson
said ''it will be a long time be-
fore we can with safety with
draw our troops from Korea" as
result Of the truce signing.
MIR. Wilson made this comment
in a statement after saying the
Defense Department els studying
the results Of this truce"
The defense chief said:
"We all know that Korea has
been only one strong part Of the
threat that the free world faces
in Communist imperialism. The
end Of fighting in Korea does not
mean the end Of that threat" /"

The claim was filed by the

The chief bullf1ghters en-
