Churchill Calls for Stop
To Public Nagging Of U. 5.
By The Associated Press

LONDON, May 19.-Prime
Minister Churchill yesterday
urged Britons-particularly left
wing criticS-to stop nagging in
public at the way the Americans
are handling Korean truce nego-
tiationS.
He told the House of Commons
he still holds the view that the
United States should carry on
the talks at Panmunjom in the
name of the United Nations and
that Britain is in constant ex-
change of views on the subject
with Washington through normal
diplomatic channels.
Replying to a complaint by
opposition Laborites that U. N
rejection of the latest Chinese
truce proposals would make it
more difficult for Britons to back
the Korean war effort, the Pre-
mier said:
II don't think it would be a
good thing for us to appear to
go on nagging when we do not
shrink in any way from placing
in detail through the proper
channels our views on the
subject"

ters here announced today that
an American sergeant suffered

The announcement from the
American military mission to
Iran said the sergeants-both
in uniform-reported a police
man forced them to drive toward
the crowd which had gathered
around the Justice Ministry. An
other policeman directing traffic
halted them at the peak of the
attack but made no move to in
terfere with the mob, they said.
The sergeants escaped by pull
ing out and speeding around the

day, one of a group of youths

u. 5. Reported Ready
To Make POW Plan
Like u. n. Resolution
BY the Assoeioted Press

NEW YORK. May 19.-The
New York Times reported today
that the United States has de-
cided to modify one provision of
the last allied Korean prisoner
proposal to bring it more in line
with the United Nations resolu-
ton on the stalemated truce
talks.
In a dispatch from U. N. head
quarters Times Correspondent
Thomas ]. Hamilton said re-
liable sources indicated the
Americans might go so far as to
agree to a political conference
to take up the disposition of
prisoners unwilling to accept re-
patriation. provided some sort of
time limit was set for the con-
ference to reach agreement.
Closer to Red Proposal.
Such a change would bring the
U. N. commands proposal con-
slderably closer to the last Com
munist offer, which proposed
that a political conference take
over the POWs who finally re-
fused to go home. The Red plan
however, said nothing about any
time limit for the conference.
The U. N. commands last pro-
posals, submitted to North Ko-
rean and Chinese negotiators last
Wednesday in answer to a Com
munist armistice plan. suggested
the immediate release of North
Korean prisoners who refuse to
return home and the release after
so days of any Chinese prisoners
opposing repatriation.

Gruenther Foresees
No New War Despite
Soviet Superiority
By the Associated Press

PARIS. May 19.-Gen. Alfred
M. Gruenther, new chief of the
allied powers in Europe, said
yesterday he does not expect a
third world war, despite Russia S
preponderant superiority over
the West.
Gen. Gruenther gave an esti-
mate of relative allied and Rus
sian strength to 40 journalists
from ID NATO nations touring
countries in the alliance.
II cannot see the moment
when we can start reducing our
strength without an understand
ing on the political side" he
said.
He added that it would be
"foolhardy to start any such
wishful thinking as that until
we reached that understanding" ."
Comedies Three Weaknesses.
Gen. Gruenther told his visi-
tors that NATO has come a long
way in three years but still has
three major weaknesses:
/. Inadequate air power.
2. insufficient training for it's
reserves.
8. Difficulty in getting sup
plies to troops already in place.
"Our biggest difficulty" the
general said, sis that we haven't
got adequate air power yet"
Overriding all these military
problems, he added, is that of
money, saying:
THE countries (of NATO)
have reached budgetary ceilings
where it is beginning to hurt"
Seek Economic Unity.
For this reason. he said,
NATO favors movements toward
European unity, especially in the
economic field such as the Schu-
man coal-steel pool.
Gen. Gruenther estimated
Russian forces at ITS infantry
divisions, plus go or 70 satellite
divisions, with sufficient re-
serves to build up the massive
military machine to 800 divi-
sions within 80 days.
This is the most effective land
army in the world today" the
general said.
He put the Russian air force at
10000 planes in operation and
described it as mot the best in
the world from the quality stand
point, but from the standpoint OF
quantity and quality it is"
Cites Korea "KilI Ratio"
I'VE have many planes better
than Soviet planes" Gen. Gruen-
ther said. Our pilots are gener-
ally better than theirs"
He referred to the Korean war,
where he said the kill ratio" is
5 or 10 to l in favor of the allies.
Turning to Russia's navy, he
said the Soviet surface fleet is
relatively weak" but that the
U. S. S. r. is making great
progress" in submarines and
mining warfare.
Gen. Gruenther said he does
not believe Russia could launch
successful surprise attack on
the West without bringing in re-
inforcementS. He indicated that
the danger of European Pearl
Harbor has largely been elimi-
mated,

Lend-Lease Demand
Twill Test Russia's
Desire 10 Cooperate
BY the Assoeiofed Press

The United States is about
ready to fire another note to
Moscow demanding the Russians
settle at least part of their
eight-year-old lend-lease ac-
count.
The new note will provide an
other test whether the Soviet
regime, under it's new head,
Georgi Malenkov, intends to CO.
operate with the American Gov
ernment in solving problems
that strain United States-Rus-
sian relations.
Stalling Tactics.
While Premier Stain was
alive the Russians stalled on
United States demands that
they return some of the ma
terial provided them during
World War II and pay for other
items they retained. They did
next to nothing except return
some frigates and icebreakers.
The forthcoming American
note, it was learned, will call
on the Russians to live up to a
pledge made last June by giving
back 1856 small lend-lease ships.
NThe State Department already
has sent along two polite dip
lomatic reminders, one last No
vember and the other last March,
a few days after Stalin's death.
Must Return Ships.
The United States has taken
the position that these ships
must be returned before it will
consider RuSsia's offer to write
CLOSED" to its lend-lease account
with a payment of $500 million.
The $500 million bid by the
Soviets is still far short of the
$500. million the United States
insists that Russia pay. The pay
ment would give Russia legal
title to lend lease items of peace
time value which remained with
in the Soviet Union after the
end of the war.
Altogether, Russia received
nearly $11 billion in lend-lease
goods. including thousands of
tanks. guns, planes, food and
complete factories and oil re-
f1neries, electrical equipment
and machinery with definite
peacetime value.

Last Red Invaders
OF Laos on Way Out,
Pursued by French
BY the Associoted Press

HANOI. Indo- China. May 10.
The last Communist invaders
of Laos were reported on their
way out of the little mountain
Indo- Chinese kingdom today.
French-Laotian forces were said
to be in pursuit. but apparently
with no great prospects of CATCH
ing them.
French officials said the Com
munist-led Wet Minis crack
304th Division was moving east
and southeast, presumably head
ing for the coast of AMMAN and
territory long held by Rebel Chief
Ho Chi Minis forces.
This was the route over which
the division. commanded by Red
China trained Gen. Hoang Mimi
Tao. knitted into Laos more than
month ago in support of three
other rebel divisions driving into
the kingdom from North Wet
Nam.
Within Sight of Capital.
Wet Mini forces advanced to
within sight of the royal Laotian
residence city of Luang Prabang
and then withdrew without a
battle. More than a week ago,
the other three rebel divisions
quit Laos, pulling back over the
Kingdoms northern frontier into
the Black River district of north
western Indo-China.
French sources seeking reasons
for the surprising withdrawal
have speculated that the invasion
may have been called off on Or
ders from the Soviet Union and
Red China as a part of the Com
munist peace drive"
Other explanations advanced
have been the start of the mon
soon rains, with their Gripping
effect on military operations, or
a breakdown in the long Wet
Mini supply chain of thousands
of coolies packing supplies on
their backs over mountain and
jungle trails.
In its drive westward from
AMMAN. the 304th Division cap
! tured Xiengkhouang. 80 miles
southeast of Luang Prabang and
18 miles south of strong, forti-
fled French-Laotian positions on
the Plaine des Jarres in the
heart of Laos.
Taking 10 Tons of Opium.
French-Laotian forces moved
out of the plain in force Sum-
day and quickly reoccupied
Xiengkhouang. finding most of
the rebel troops gone. A lone
remaining Wet Mimi company
put up scattered opposition but
French troops, tanks and planes
quickly put it to fight. No
casualties were reported on
either side.
The French said that before
pulling out of Laos. Wet Mimi
troops rounded up approximate
ly 10 tons of opium to take
along with them. This is about
a third of the entire Laotian
crop this year.

Top Ace Grounded;
Air War Quieter,
Red Troops Attack
By the Associoted Press

SEOUL, May 10. - The Air
Force today told Capt. Joseph
Mcconnell, jr., the worlds top
jet ace, to fly no more combat
missions over Korea. The Cali
fornia Sabre jet pilot shot down
his 14th, 18th and 10th MIG
yesterday.
The air was quilted today after
six days of savage sky battles,
but on the ground two Chinese
battalions hit Allied positions
in central and eastern Korea.
South Korean bayonets and
bullets hurled back both as
saults and chopped down one
fourth of the Red attackers.
Capt. Mcconnell, of Apple
valley. Calf. shot down three
Communist MICS over North
Korea yesterday to win the title
of No / jet ace from Capt. Man.
uel Fernandez, ir., of Miami,
Fla, who has IA kills.
Reluctant to Return.
Capt. Fernandez was grounded
yesterday, and both aces will
leave for home within a few
days, the Air Force said. Capt.
Fernandez has flown 1875 mis-
sions and Capt. Mcconnell 1O6.
Sabre jet pilots normally fly 100
combat missions before returning
home. Both had asked for Is
more.
Capt. Mcconnell said he un-
derstood the Air Force point of
view but hated to leave Korea
while was going so good"
Col. John w. Mitchell, Enid,
Miss. commander of the 51st
Fighter Wing. announced that
Capt. Mcconnell soon would head
for home following a conference
at 5th Air Force headquarters.
"He is more valuable to the
Air Force alive than dead" said
Col. Edward Szaniawski of Scars
dale, N. Y, 51st Wing deputy
commander.
MICS Avoid Clashes.
Sabre jets prowling North Ko-
rean skies today spotted MICS
in the distance, but Red pilots
showed no desire to fight, the
Air Force said.
In six days of aerial combat
ending today the Reds lost sc
MICS and probably lost two
Sixteen were damaged.
Today's ground assaults fol-
lowed several days of relative
quiet along the 155-mile battle
front.
One reinforced Chinese bat
talon of about 800 men slammed
into outposts on Sniper Ridge in
central Korea and the momen-
tum of the attack carried some
Reds through a hail of small
arms and artillery fire into South
Korean trenches.
Fresh ROK troops thrown into
the battle drove the Reds back
to their own lines with 257
killed or wounded, the 9th
Army said.
Christmas Hill Attacked.
On the eastern front another
Chinese battalion bypassed four
outpoSts and attacked the main
Allied frontline at Christmas Hill.
The Reds were driven back in an
all-night battle and a South Ko-
rean relief column found all four
of the bypassed outposts still in
ROK hands, the Army said.
Twenty-eight Sabre jets flying
as f1ghter-bombers attacked a
Red troop concentration near
Chaeryong north of the western
front today. while other Allied
fighter = bomberS bombed and
strafed Communist artillery po-
sltions along the front, the Air
Force said.
