Britain Wants 10 Call
u. n. Session if Rhee
Rejects Armistice
eySfhe Assoeioted Press

LONDON. July 6.-Britain
served notice today it favors re-
calling the United Nations Gen.
eral Assembly if South Korean
President Syngman Rhee rejects
the terms Of a Korean truce.
Richard A. Butler, acting cab
met boss. told questioners in the
House Of Commons it would be
premature" to reconvene the
Assembly while negotiations with
Mr.. Rhee are going on. But he
added: IF no progress can be
made by direct negotiations, that
course will have to be taken"
Threat to Troop Position.
President Eisenhower's special
envoy, Walter Robertson, has
been engaged in secret talks with
Mr.. Rhee for the past II days
in the hope of persuading him to
accept the truce plan worked out
between the United Nations Com
mand and Communist negoti-
ators. There has been no indi-
cation that Mr.. Rhee will do so.
John Strachey. war minister
in the former Labor government,
told Mr.. Butler that unless Mr..
Rhee is brought Ito reason" the
political and military position of
British troops in Korea would
be endangered.
Speaking for Churchill.
This, Mr.. Butler replied, is
"very much in the govern
ment's mind" He was speaking
on behalf of Prime Minister
Churchill, who is taking at least
a months rest on doctors Or
ders.
A call for a special session of
the U. N. Assembly already has
been made by Indian Prime
Minister Nehru. Britain, how
ever. has not supported it on the
ground that the discussions be-
tween Mr.. Robertson and Mr..
Raee should first be given a
chance to succeed or fail. The
United States also opposed the
Nehru proposal.

Gilman Says Public
ShouIdn' Complain
ION Price Increases
BY the Assoeioted Press

An oil industry spokesman to-
day told a House Commerce
Committee that recent price
boosts in crude oil "were well
warranted and long overdue"
w. w. Keeler. vice president
Of Phillips Petroleum Co.,
Bartlesville, Okla, said a price
rise was justified as long ago as
1948.
He conceded it wasn't neces-
sary for his company to increase
the price it pays to obtain "its
immediate requirements of oil. !"
But, he went on. a higher
price was believed necessary to
stimulate exploration and drill
ing so adequate reserves for the
future can be found.
The ratio of crude oil reserves
to demand, Mr.. Keeler said, has
dropped steadily during the past
four years. Last year the net
increase in crude oil reserves
was the lowest of the last eight
years, he added.
The boost, he said, was "only
10 per cent" and asserted IAN in
formed public should find no
cause for complaint in respect
to the belated and relatively
small increase in the prices Of
crude oil"
Mr.. Keeler was the lead-off
man for a team of industry wit
nesses called to explain their
reasons for recent sharp in
creases in gasoline, fuel oil and
other oil products.

forces occupy most of Wet Nam,

Indochinese states which also in

sources say Ho Chi Minis Red

my is stronger than ever.
The French are hoping that with
reinforcements from overseas and
the rapidly expanding vietnamese
army they can drive deep into the
heart of rebel-held areas in the
new year and deliver the finishing
blows by the end Of 1855.
American aid. which has been
averaging a half billion dollars in

win be paying about 60 per cent
Of the wars cost.
As the conflict goes into its
eighth year Sunday, . backward
glance shows:
The French and Indochinese
governments have already spent
around 10 billion dollars to fight it.
Two million vietnamese have
been upro0ted from their homes
and forced to flee into French
controlled zones.
The Vietminh-by French esti-
mates--have had $4,000 killed,
40, 900 wounded and rs, 900 cap
tured.
French Union losses have been
estimated at 5000 French and
Vietnsmese killed, 90 ZOO wounded
and 1900 missing.
Rumors persist there might be
Korean-type truce to end the
shooting here. Rebel leader Ho Chi
Mini recently said he is ready to
talk peace if the French ask for it.
But the French are not asking
for it and have said they would
do nothing without the assent of
the Vietnamese government which
the rebel leader has ignored.

quizzing Of aO-year.old Harlow Fra.
den Ia the deaths four months ago
Of bis parents. william and Shirley

Young Fraden and . companion.
Dennis Wspman, a, were indicted
earlier in the day on q charge Of
first degree murder--a count car
Fying q mandatory sentence Of
death in New York State
The two youths repeatedly have
admitted spiking champagne with
cyanide and tricking the elder
Fradens into toasting their only
child with the deadly potion last
Aug. 10. The deaths had been con.
sidered double suicides or murder
and suicide.
Wepman, free lance writer, ad.
mitted part In the affair after
the case cracked open Wednesday.
However, Fraden did not make
statement until Thursday night.
Both arc undergoing mental ex.
aminations at Bellevue Hospital.
Yesterday Tilzer gave this state.
ment on the means By which Fra.
den's purported confession was ex.
traeted:
We appealed TO his conscience.
We told him, You have to live
with yourself. The world Is entitled
TO know whether you did il for gain
or revenge At the word gain.
Fraden quickly answered, No, no,
no, he quickly answered. asked
him, Did you hate your mother?'
and he replied, Yes, I hated
her. :"
TIlzer added that Fraden told
him his mother, a 46.year.old

Wepman was said TO have
claimed that he was talked into
the crime with expectations OF
sharing big money but only got
$40. Wepman said the motive was
money with Fraden expecting an
inheritance, first estimated at
$4,000 but later scaled down to
about se6,oOO. Fraden ran through
an estimated $4,000 before his
arrest.
However, Bronx authorities said
Fraden, denying money was a mo.
tive, insisted he killed his parents
because as long as he could re.
call, and before he knew anything
about sex, his mother called him
a fairy"
Bronx Dist. Atty. George B. De
Luca said Fraden strongly re.
sented" this. Fraden and Wepman
have denied being homosexuals.
They lived together for many
months and were evicted from one
apartment because of alleged wild
all.male parties.
A break in the case came early
In the week after Wepman un.
burdened his troubled conscience
