Rhee Reported Planning
Flight 10 See President
By the Associosed Press

NEW YORK, June 9.-Jim
Robinson, NBC correspondent in
Korea, reported today President
Syngman Rhee plans to fly to
the United States to make a last
minute appeal to President
Eisenhower not to sign the Ko-
rean armistice.
Mr.. Robinson said the only
thing that might prevent the
trip to Washington would be 78-
year-old Mr.. Rhee's failing
health. In that case, the corre-
Spondent said, Mr.. Rhee would
fly to Tokyo and appeal to Gen.
Mark Clark, supreme commander
in the Far East.
Mr.. Robinson quoted a high
South Korean official as his
source. He said top Republic of
Korea officials have urged Mr..
Rhee to make the trip.
In Washington, Spokesmen for
the State Department and the
Korean Embassy said they had
heard nothing about the possi-
blllty OF such a trip. The White
House had no comment.
Asked whether he approved of
the idea of a visit by Mr.. Rhee.
Secretary of State Dulles said !:
I haven't given it any mature
thought. Mr.. Dulles made the
comment as he left a meeting of
the National Security Council at
the White House.

office declared, however, that

the government will have over

House Group Votes
0ne-Year Trade Act
Extension, 3 10 7

President Eisenhower's request
for a one-year extension of the
Reciprocal Trade Act finally won
approval by the House Ways and
Means Committee today, but in
compromise form which drew
many Democratic complaints.
The Democrats voted for the
bill, which the committee re-

ported out, % to 2. But on a
straight party split, Is to 10,
the committee rejected their at
tempts to limit the measure to
a one-year extension without
change in the current act. and
to prevent an increase from six
to seven in the membership of
the Federal Tariff Commission
The Democrats said they be-
lieved the act should have been
continued for three years. They
said they supported the Presi-
dents recommendation for a one
year continuance rather than en-
danger the entire program. The
names Of the two Republicans
who voted against any extension
were not disclosed by the COM
mittee.
The bill seemed likely to re-
ceive Rules Committee clearance
later today for House action
Monday. Although the present
law expires Friday, congressional
leaders said the lapse will not
affect existing tariff reduction
agreements negotiated by the
President with foreign countries
in return for trade concessions
to the United States.
The Trade Act extension pro-
poSal had been blocked for sew
eral weeks in the committee.
Chairman Reed called today's
meeting only after getting "air-
tight assurance" from the White
House and Republican congress
sional leaders that they would
oppose any attempt to add an
excess profits tax extension to

ROME, June 9.-Government
spokesmen claimed today that
Premier Alcide de Gasperi's CEN
ter coalition had won absolute
majorities in both Senate and
Chamber.
Interior Minister Mario Scelba,
a Christian Democrat, confirmed
that the coalition of four parties
had won more than so per cent
of the Senate, but declined to
say what the result would be
in the Chamber of Deputies, the
more important lower house. He
said he would announce the re-
suits later today.
The electoral Office was still
compiling a record vote of 1918
per cent of the eligible voters
in the election Sunday and yes
terday, the first since 1948. The
results will determine whether
the same coalition which has
kept Italy in the pro- Western
camp the last seven years will
continue to rule.
Results in the Senate race
were counted first.
Bonus" Seats Provided.
If the government wins more
than so per cent of the Chamber
vote it is guaranteed 64.5 per
cent of the seats under a new
election law. This "bonus"
would give it $50 of the $50
seats, a bloc calculated to give
Italy a five-year period, at least,
of stable government.
The government claim was
made at a time when totals so
