Baptisfs Will Decide
Today on Holding IS
Session in Capital

determined drive to bring the
1855 Southern Baptist conven-
tion to Washington will be de-
cided today when the current
meeting votes on the issue.
George B. Fraser Of Calvary
Baptist Church. Washington.
senior secretary of the Southern
Baptist convention, predicted
the denomination will approve
the move.
Mr.. Fraser. who has been
designated by the District of CO.
lumbia Baptist Convention as
general chairman for the 1855
meeting, said it would be held
June 1-5 in the National Guard
Armory.
A ministers conference would
be held at a place not yet de-
cided, May 30-31. Another pre-
convention gathering would be
a three-day Woman's Missionary
Union session. May 29-31.
Views Were Changed.
Earlier in the week many of
the delegates felt that the World
Baptist Alliance meeting in Lon
don in July. 1855, would come
too close for the national con-
ventio,. to be held in June. But
a strong campaign by Washing
ton clergymen and laymen here
has apparently changed that
view.
Resolutions denouncing COM
munism, deploring beer and
cigarette advertising over radio
and television and approving a
study of social security benefits
for clergymen will be taken up
by the convention delegates.

Reds Hope for 'Asiotic Munich
If Czechs and Poles Are to Be on the Truce Teo u. S.
Should Reject Proposal Nomnq ndio as Umpire

The latest Red proposal for
solving the priSoner-of-War
problem was received with al
most unanimous misgivings in
the State Department and
Congress.
The consensus of most law
makers and a number Of re-
sponsible diplomatic officials
is that the Reds are attempting
to push us into an "Asiatic
Munich" which may have even
more serious consequences
than the one in the capital of
Bavaria Is years ago.
The Reds have proposed two
of their satellites, Poland and
Czechoslovakia, and two genu-
inc neutrals, Sweden and Swift
zerland, as members Of the
truce team, with India as UNI
pire. These five nations would
be responsible for ID the Su-
pervision of the POWS who are
unwilling to return to their
homelands and the determina-
tion of their future fate, and
(2) enforcement of the other
armiStice terms agreed on
more than a year ago.
Under the ceaSe-f1re condi-
tions neither side is allowed to
increase it's military strength
during the armistice. But we
accepted a gimmick put in by
the Reds whereby they are per-
mitted to rebuild their COM
mercial" airfields. It is hardly
conceivable that the Polish and
Czech truce missions would not
wink at any Chinese build-up.
If the Swiss and the Swedes,
the only real neutrals, were to
poke their noses into anything
the Reds did not want them to
see, the Communists could stop
the intrusion, as they have
demonstrated in the past.
A United Nations delegation
was sent to Korea in 1949 to
supervise free elections and
conditions on both sides of the
dividing line. They were given
every facility in South Korea
but were prevented by North
Korean bayonets from crossing
the 38th Parallel.

Lowell MeHett::

There seems 10 De cOnSluer-
able resentment among states
men of the majority party be-
cause some people are calling
this the "give-aWay Congress.
The phrase came into rather
general use during the pro-
longed debate over the off,
shore oil land bill. Already you
can hear it reSounding up and
down the land in the congress
Sional campaign of next year
when the Democrats hope to
regain control of the law
making body. AS said, the Re- 8
publicans don't like it. but that
isn't likely to lessen its use.
The Democrats remember the
effectiveness of President Tru-
mans unrelenting denuncia-
ton Of the "do-nothing 80th
Congress. So. in their Ian
guage, the 83d is going to be
the "give-away," unless they
happen to hit on something
they regard as even more de-
scriptive-such, for example, as
the "come-and-get-it Con-
gress."
AS illustrating the Govern
ment's generosity toward the
private power interests the lat
ter description may be even
more pat. Because of its sinis-
ter name and the immensity Of
the gift, the abandonment of
the Hells Canyon project in
favor of the Idaho Power Co.
has attracted chief attention,
but the same treatment is be-
ing accorded a large number Of
smaller projects designed to
serve the people of many
States. In cutting the Interior
Departments budget by one
third, the House Interior Com
mittee hit intended power prof.
ects hardest of all, granting
only one-half of what was
asked. Farmers expecting to
obtain light and power through
their REA co-operatives, were
told in effect to buy the same
from the private power COM
panies at the companies
prices. All new facilities for di-
rect service to the co-opS were
killed. Going beyond the ad-
ministration's 40 per cent slash
in funds for the Southwestern
Power Administration, the
House made it impossible to
continue delivering wholesale
power to co-ops serving $50, 900
farmers in Oklahoma, Missouri
and Arkansas.
In addition to killing trans
mission lines to the co-ops. the
House killed the American
Falls dam project in Idaho, the
site for which was bought from
the Idaho Power Co. several
years ago at a cost Of 81 mil
lion. Three similar projects in
Utah and one in Washington
likewise were killed.
Coming up is the Army
civil functions bill. From
this the administration has
eliminated funds for continu-
ing work on dams in Arkansas,

for a new project in Washing

ginning. The two satellite
delegations would take their
orders directly from Peiping
and Moscow, while the So
called umpire, India, has
proved in the past so high
minded in international mat
ters that it has followed the
Moscow and Peiping line far
more frequently than that of
the free Western nations.
Suggestions are said to have
been made at the White House
meeting on Thursday that If
we do not deny the Reds the
choice of their satellites as
members of the truce team. we
should at least insist on either
Pakistan or Nor v as umpire.
What decision has been
made by the administration is
unknown at this writing. But
it is known that President Ell
senhower. Secretary Of State
Dulles and their principal mil
itary and political advisers
who attended the White House
meeting are definitely skeptical
about the motives and the pur-
poses of the Chinese and North
Koreans.
After two years of churning
water to make butter at Pan
munjom. the enemy has pro-
duced the recent suggestion of
a packed" truce team which
would strictly control all the
U. N. activities but would be
either unwilling or unable to
do the same to the other side.
Moreover, after nearly two
years of cease-fire talks, there
is not a single point of meeting
of minds between us and our
enemies concerning the main
goal-a genuine peace. We
know that Moscow and Pei
ping are aiming at domination
of the entire Asian continent,
with the accent, at this time,
on the conquest of East Asia.
The contention of Gen. James
Van Fleet that the Reds have
suffered a strategic defeat is
in all likelihood correct. But it
would be pushing optimism too
far if we imagined that the
peoples of Asia, looking down
the muZzles of the Red guns,
understood the meaning Of a
strategic" defeat. The Red

A wrangle over continuing the
Committee on Relations With
Other Religious Bodies yesterday
produced the first serious floor

tion to consider "our common

rized to continue each succeeding

general staff, however, realizes
the truth and wants to take
advantage of a prolonged ar
mistice to mend it's fences.
The enemy knows that
throughout the three or four
months of truce preceding pre-
liminary peace negotiations he
will not suffer from the con-
tinual attacks by air and naval
power which have been pound
ing relentlessly at his military
installations up to the Yalu
River. Under the truce terms
he can rebuild the airfields we
have smashed in North Korea
and can construct air bases
under the guise of CONNER
cial" airports.
There can be no doubt that
the Poles and Czechs will turn
their heads If fresh Chinese
forces are poured into North
Korea. Recent reports confirm
the suspicion that the Commu-
nists intend to take advantage
of an armistice to strengthen
their offensive capabilities.
During the last few weeks a
Sizable number of Soviet jet
planes-including a number of
"Nue nose" type which is Su-
perior to the present MIG
which the Chinese are using
have reached Manchuria.
There is further information
in possession of our intelligence
services which indicates that
the Chinese want an armistice
only to strengthen their mill
tary position. Once this OBJ
jective is attained, they will be
able to adopt a take it or leave
it" attitude at the peace con-
ference which necessarily fol-
lows the signing of an armi-
stice.
America. like the rest Of the
free world, wants peace. but it
is doubtful whether our leaders
will accept the offered terms
and thus fall into a trap which
could prove far more costly
than If we stood our ground
today. There is an increased
feeling in administration quar-
tiers that we and our allies must
insist on an immediate settle
ment of all problems concern
ing the battle fronts from
Korea to Malaga.

Tourists Spare Guonojuoto,
With Its Mexican Charm

MEXICO CITY. - Tucked
away in the rugged mountains
of Central Mexico, some $50
miles northwest of Mexico City,
the little city of Guanajuato
nestleS in a mountain gorge, its
quiet charm unspoiled by mod
ern-day tourist development.
Guanajuato ranks with more
famous Taxco (the silver city,
as one of the most picturesque
towns in Mexico. Walled in by
mountain peaks, the city literally
climbs the steep hillsides to find
living room for its $4,000 inhab-
itants. It's streets are harrow,
twisted, steep and lined with
ancient buildings that are an
architectural treasure.
Guanajuato is but one of
many unusual sights to be seen
in Mexico, aside from the famous
resorts such as Acapulco and
Cuernavaca, Mexico City, and
the spectacular remains of the
famous Maya cities of Chichen-
Itza and Uxmal on the Yucatan
Peninsula.
Excellent highways, well-or-
ganized sightseeing tours, and
air service by Compania Mexi-
cana de Aviacion (CMA), an
associate of Pan American World
Always, makes all of Mexico's S
many attractions readily access
ible to the tourist visitor.
