By the Associoted Press

PANMUNJOM, Oct. 26.-The
strife-torn Communist efforts to

Split on Use of Force.
The commission is split over
whether to force the. prisoners

Red satellites Poland and
CzechoSlovakia walked out once
to enforce their demands that
the POWs be made to listen, at
gunpoint if necessary. Sweden
and Switzerland have just as
stubbornly refused to approve
the use of force.

The appeal was brought by

Dulles Has Busy Day
Explaining Israel Aid
Cutoff TO New York
City's 6. o. P. Leaders
Confer With Secretary;
Riegelmun Gets Pledge

Secretary of State Dulles spent
a busy day today explaining to
Republican politicians concerned
with the Jewish vote in New
York this Governments action
in suspending economic aid to
Israel.
Harold Riegelman, Republican
candidate for Mayor of New
York City, conferred with Mr..
Dulles for an hour and one half
this morning.
Mr.. Riegelman later issued a
State Department approved
statement saying II am assured
that full United States economic
aid will be given to Israel" when
a dispute over project involv-
ing diversion of Jordan River
waters is resolved.
Mr.. Dulles also arranged to
see at 2 pm. today Senator Ives
and Representative Javits, Re-
publicans, of New York and a
group of private citizens they
were bringing to his Office to
discuss the matter.
Campaign Issue Denied.
Mr.. Riegelman told reporters
the question of economic aid for
Israel "haS no place whatever"
in the New York municipal elec-
tion campaign.
He said he did not plan to
make any campaign speeches on
the matter, but might be driven
into it if there are any more
misrepresentation" of the situa-
tion by his opponents in the may
orally race
Mr.. Riegelman said Henry A.
Byroade, Assistant Secretary of
State for Near Eastern Affairs,
and John D. Jernegan, Mr.. By
roade's deputy. had been called
in by Mr.. Dulles to approve the
statement he issued.
Mr.. Riegelman added that
"the statement represents the
full measure" of the results
achieved at the conference.
Quotation Marks Authorized.
Republican political concern
in the situation was reflected at
the State Department last Fri
day when a press officer issued a
statement quoting the Secre-
tary's Tuesdays press conference
remarks about Israeli aid. Un-
der the press conference rules,
Mr.. Dulles remarks could be re-
ported last Tuesday only as in
direct quotation. The Friday
release authorized quotation
marks around his statements of
the matter.
The department said the quo
tations were being released "in
answer to inquiries" Presum-
ably the aim was to Squelch what
Mr.. Riegelman said had been
Misrepresentation in the New
York campaign.
Mr.. Riegelman said that Rob-
ert F. Wagner. jr., Democratic
candidate for New York Mayor.
has "misrepresented" the aid
suspension as resulting from the
Qibya raid in which Jordan
claimed 66 persons were killed
by the IsraeliS. In his state
ment Mr.. Riegelman said he was
convinced the raid in no way
affected the United States pro-
gram aiding Israel.

By the Assoe,ated Pres.

PANMUNJOM, Oct. 26.-The
Communists today raised an i'm
mediate threat to the success
of preliminary Korean peace
talks at their opening session
by demanding the admission OF
neutral nations to the big talks
"a proposal opposed by the
United States.
Despite the ominous first day
of the preliminary talks, Arthur
Dean, the United States AmbaS-
Sador representing the United
Nations, expressed hope that an
agreement could be hammered
out and "a political conference
will be held"
Mr.. Dean and the Communists
ran together head-on over an
agenda for the preliminary talks.
The Reds insisted on discussing
composition of the political con-
ference as the first item on the
agenda for this meeting.
Mr.. Dean has no authority to
negotiate the makeup of the po-
litical conference. He can dis
cuss only administrative matters,
time and place.
Red China's Peiping radio said
in a broadcast after the meeting
that the question of composition
must" be decided in the Pan
munjom talks.

The preliminary talks lasted
one hour and Is minutes. The
negotiators meet again tomor-

legislation to provide pay raises
for the Governments classified
and postal employees.
The Kansas Republican said a
pay boost for Federal workers is
among the important legislative
items that his committee will
consider next year. He did not
say what specific bill he favors.
Several pay bills are pending.
Hearings on pay raise legisla-
ton are expected to be held dur
ing the early part of next years
session.
Other Top Legislation.
Senator Carlson also listed, in
a press release, the following i'm
portant legislation that will re-
ceive his committees attention

/. A congressional pay raise.
2. Liberalization of the Gov
ernment's retirement and sur
vivorship insurance system.

promotions and permanent ap-
pointments in Government.
4. An increase in postal rates,
The various Federal employe

asm by Federal employe union
leaders. AS chairman of the
committee and a close friend and
confidante of President Eisen-
hover, Senator Carlson Is con-

ate as far as pay raise legisla-
ton is concerned.
Living Cost Comparison Sought.
Senator Carlson said he has
asked the Civil Service Commits
sion to compile figures showing
how much Federal salaries have
Jagged behind rising living costs
since the last Government pay
boost was voted by Congress in
October, 1851.
The Senator indicated he
would sponsor a pay raise bill
shortly after Congress convenes
next January, the amount to de-
pend on living cost factors at
that time.

City Contracts
Will Ban Racial
Discrimination
Other Moves to End
Bios Also Planned,
Spencer DiscIoses
By Colt hendIey lr.

The District government to-
day announced that effective
November Is all city contracts
for services or supplies would
carry clause forbidding racial
discrimination.
Commissioner Samuel Spencer
announced the action at a press
conference held in the Office of
Secretary of. Labor Mitchell.
I'VE believe this constitutes an
important step forward in the
policy of the District government
regarding racial matters" Mr..
Spencer read from a letter an
nouncing the new policy. He
added that this brought the
District government in line with
contract practices of the Federal
| Government.
First Move in Series.
Mr.. Spencer said the move was
the first in a series of orders
which the District government
is preparing to clear up racial
discrimination in the local gov
ernment.
The conference was held in
Mr.. Mitchell's Office because he iS

rently of the Presidents Commit.
tee on Government Contracts.
The Committee is headed by
Vice President Nixon, now on a
world tour.
The letter stated:
Effective November is, 1853.
1t shall be the policy of the Dis
trict of Columbia government
to insert the following clauses
IN all contracts to which the Dis.
trict of Columbia is a party:
In connection with the per-
tormance of work under this
contract. the contractor agrees
not to discriminate against any
employe or applicant for EN-.
ployment because of race. creed.
color or national origin: and
further agrees to insert the fore
going provision in all subcc1-
tracts hereunder, except sub
contracts for standard COM
mercial supplies or raw ma
terials.'"
Called to Officials Attention.
Mr.. Spencer said the lack of
such a clause in District gov
ernment contracts had been
called to the Commissioners at
tentlon by the committee.
He estimated that about $50
million worth of contracts an
nually would be affected. About
S25 million of these are for con-
struction-such as buildings.
sewers and water facilities and
highways. The remainder are
contracts for various supplies.
Mr.. Spencer refused to dis
cuss what else the Commission
erS are doing to eliminate racial
discrimination. He said a num-
Der of orders are under study.
however.
In answer to question about
whether there has been discrim-
1nation by contractors in the
past, Mr.. Spencer said:
You'll have to draw your own
conclusions on that. In a COM
munity like this, undoubtedly
there have been some contrac-
tors practicing discrimination"
Asked if he thought there was
discrimination in employment by
the District government itself,
he commented:
I'VE are working on an order
to deal with that"

1t. Louis Shoulders, credited with
breaking the Greenlease kidnap-
ing case, said today he will re-

Grand Jury which will meet in
Kansas City tomorrow to con-
slider the case.
1t. Shoulders resigned Satur-

before the Kansas City grand

I'm going to stand on my

Miss George will do likewise.
Its not that I'm afraid of
