But all the same, we've got to

Mrs. Ciucci, we've got to have

She stopped. She could hear
Mrs. Ciucci's sobs slowly sub

In the mirror she saw her hus-

was struggling to keep his voice
steady. He took the clergyman's
hat, waved him to a chair. Good
Of you. IN tell Ida. She's =

In the bedroom Ida tried duly
to adjust her mind to this inter-
ruption. Must she go out there
and talk when all she could feel
was the throb of panic which
beat like frightened pulse in
side her? Instinctively, she knew
that only kindness had brought
the clergyman to see her. But
could she rise to kindness?
lHE telephone rang beside her.
Ida wiped the tears off her face.
She had wished no one would
call; even wished DR.. Peyton
hadn't come. All she wanted now
was to be left alone. But the
telephone was within reach of
her hand, and she picked it up.
"Yes?" she said.
A quavering voice with a for

"Ye-es -"

words stumbled, floundered. And
suddenly they were lost in sobs.
Ida said quickly, Mrs. Ciucci!
You mustn't! 1t Its no good

Ciucci sobbed. Please, excuse. l

now she was surprisingly gentle

De Gasperi Coalition Wins
First Test in Parliament
BY the Associoted Press

ROME, June 25.-In the first
test votes of Italy's new Parlia-
ment, Premier Alcide de Gas
peri's center government coal
ition easily elected its candidates
today to the presidencies of both
the Senate and the Chamber of
Deputies.
In the chamber, from Premier
de Gasperi's own Christian DEM
ocrat Party, Giovanni Gronchi,
was chosen. He held the job in
the last Parliament.
The Senate named Cesare
Merzagora. a financial expert.
Both received substantial ma
jorities-273 of 502 votes for Mr..
Gronchi and 1872 of 229 votes for
Mr.. Merzagora.
Some of the newly elected
Deputies had not yet been seated.
The next task for the two
chambers was adoption of a tenn
porary budget.
Despite his easily preliminary
victories today, most observers
figure Mr.. de Gasperi's pro-
American and pro-NATO policy
faces a rocky road. Gains by
both the Communists and their
Socialist allies on the left, and
by the FaScists and Monarchists

cut the governments hitherto
overwhelming majorities to only
16 in the 590-member chamber

Aneuished Decision
By Crosby S. Noyes

While the sound and fury
over Korea RACES loudly, a few
men. carefully screened from the
public eye. are coming to one
of the most anguished decisions
in American history.
It is a decision that no man
would like to make. It is one
which will inevitably affect the
lives and the safety of many
thousands of Americans. It can
have immense political conse-
quences and vitally involve the
prestige Of the United States
abroad. It is a decision that
could change the whole course
of the free world in it's struggle
against Communism.
The decision is simply this:
If Syngman Rhee succeeds in
blocking a truce in Korea, what
will the United States do about
it?
No Inkling of Answer.
It must be said Immediately
that there has been no inkling
up to this point as to what the
answer win be. No one who can
speak with the slightest authori-
ty has opened up on the subject,
even in private.

Eisenhower and Dulles Cancel News

and Secretary of State Dulles
have cancelled their press con-
ferences this week in order to
duck that one question. So fal
as other Government sources are
concerned, the whole subject OF
Korea is strictly taboo. Ever
normally talkative congressional
leaders. coming away from
White House briefings, have re-
spected the official curtain OF
secrecy.
One thing, however, is certain.
The decision is being made. And
to the extent that desperate
situations call for desperate
remedies, the developments in
Korea in the last few days in
themselves provide some hint
as to what that course may be.
At this point. there can be
very little question about how
desperate the Korean situation
has become.
Responsibility Is Rhee'S
It makes little difference now
whether the Communist agree to
a cease-fire or insist on their
impossible conditions that all of

Claims Commission,
Denied Funds, Will
Fold Up tuesday
international Task,
Started in l949,, Still
Unfinished, Officials So

The International Claims Com
mission today notified American
claimants, their attorneys and
members Of Congress that it will
go out of business next Tuesday
because of the neglect, failure
and refusal" of the State De-
partment to renew its appropria-
ton.
The notice, signed by Josiah
Marvel, jr., commission chair
man, and Raymond S. Nc
Keough. commissioner, says the
commissions Is employees "are
being separated as of June 80,
1858, due to lack of funds" and
that all scheduled hearings be-
fore the commission are Cancelled
as of July /.
Mr.. Marvel. who served as AM
baSsador to Denmark from 1916
to 1949. explained to reporters
that his commission was set up
in 1949 to adjudicate claims of
American citizens whose prop
erty had been nationalized by
foreign governments. The Job,
he said, is still largely unfinished.
SIT Million on Deposit.
At present, he said, more than
SIT million is on deposit in the
United States Treasury from
Yugoslavia and Panama to
satisfy claims Of some 1000
American citizens. Presumably,
Mr.. Marvel said, the money will
revert to the foreign govern
ments when the commission
breaks up.
Mr.. Marvel and Mr.. McKeough,
both Democrats, are charging
that the administration has
withheld funds in order to force
them from their jobs.
Failing in their efforts to
force the resignation of the COM
missioners, the administration is
now withholding from Congress
a budget request in order to
deprive the commission of funds
with which to operate during the
next fiscal year -" they de-
clared in their statement.
The action Of the administra-
ton in withholding this budget
request is an unwarranted in
reference with the quasi-ju-
dicial function Of this commits
sion, and is an attempt to force
designations of the members"
No Immediate Reaction.
No immediate reaction to the
statement was forthcoming from
the State Department.
So far, the commission has
disposed of claims from $50
claimants amounting to pay
ments of less than 81 million,
according to the chairman. The
refusal of the State Department
to ask for an annual appropri-
alton of $270,000 will bring the
work of the commission ito a
dead end" he declared.
Maybe the administration
plans to create a new commits
sion," Mr.. Marvel said. That
would be one way to get rid OF

Chinese Reds Attack
R0K Lines as War
Enters 4th Year
5000 Men Are Hurled
Against Position
After Days LuII
By the Assoeioted Press

SEOUL, June 25.-The Chinese
Communists threw 5000 mer
tonight into bloody attacks along
the front on the third ami
versary Of the Korean war.
The attacks, breaking a day
long lull, hit on the western
front along the road to Seoul
and on the east central front.
Two regiments, possibly 5000
men, struck four South Korean
positions west of Yonchon, which
is some 40 miles north of Seoul
Another 5000 Chinese struck
on the east central front where
a Red drive last week pushed a
bulge two miles deep in the
allied lines.
Strike in Darkness.
The Chinese poured in through
the darkness and struck the little
Nori-Kelly Hill sector.
This broke q three-week lull
on that vital sector of the west
ern front. Not since last month
when the Chinese won several
positions near the truce town
Of Panmunjom had the Com
munists hit the western front
with anything more than aS-
saults in company size.
The Chinese apparently are
still throwing the big attacks at
South Korea's army. South Ko-
rea violently opposes an armi-
stice and Communist eorrespon-
dents at Panmunjom have said
the Red attacks were to teach
the South Koreans q lesson"
Few Details Given.
The 9th Army reported the
Red attack in the east-central
sector of the front came south
of Capitol Hill, which the Reds
siezed in last weeks drive.
Reports from the battlefront
gave few details of the fighting
The third anniversary OF
the war had been quiet except
for a few patrol skirmishes
and Communist frontline loud
speakers had blared new predic-
tions of an early truce before
the Chinese shattered the calm
with the night attack.
The commander of Far East
Air Forces. Gen. o. p. Weyland,
said allied warplane have de-
stroyed "the war-making poten-
tial" of the Communists Ia
North Korea.
The general apparently re-
ferred to the destruction Of Com
munist war plants in North
Korea. Red armies in Korea still
are supplied from Manchuria and
Russia.
In a statement issued from his
Toyko headquarters, Gen. Wey-
land said $50 Communist planes
including ITO MIG jets-have
been shot down in aerial battles
since June Is, 1850. The allies
have lost 973 planes. 108 to Red
warplanes, 661 to ground fire and
2O4 to unknown causes-usually

Lost Bullock Papers
Now Back in Files,
CoveI Tells Board
Ford Attacks Boumun,
Demands His Recall
As Witness at Trial

Portions of Inspector Albert
I. Bullock's personnel file, re-
ported mysteriously missing dur
ing the Senate crime hearings,
are now back in the file, a police
trial board was told today.
Charles E. Ford, the inspec-
tors attorney, Immediately &C
cused Arnold Bauman, former
crime committee counsel, of ly-
ing when he said the records
were missing in the first place
and demnaded Mr.. Bauman's re-
call as a witness. His request
was refused.
The revelation came from
Deputy Police Chief Howard v.
Covell, called to testify on the
administrative charges that Bull
lock disobeyed his superiorS by
refusing to answer questions
about his financial dealings.
Ford Reads Testimony.
Mr.. Ford read from testimony
taken at the crime hearings, in
which Mr.. Bauman told Inspec-
tor Bullock that papers covering
the period February 10, 1947, to
March 3. 1948, were missing from
the police files. Inspector Covell
said today that there are such
records now in the file.
81 want Bauman called back
here as witness to show that
Bauman was lying and trying to
trap Bullock when he made his
statement" Mr.. Ford shouted.
Mr.. Ford said that if the rec
ords had been missing then and
were now back in the file, then
the file must have been "tam-
pered with" and therefore could
not be considered sound evidence.
Papers Marked as Exhibits.
The nature Of the reappearing
papers was not revealed.
However. it was indicated there
were carbon copies of three let
terS, and a yellow sheet of paper
on which some notes were
scribbled.
The records were not SUBJ
mitted as evidence. but merely
marked as defense exhibits and
returned to the Bullock personnel
file. which Inspector Covel car
ried back to headquarters.
After the board turned down
Mr.. Ford'S request to recall Mr..
Bauman. the attorney said he
would issue a subpoena and ask
the board to approve Mr.. Bau-
mans expenses for another trip
here from New York.
Inspector Covell said the Bull
lock file was available for exam
nation by both the District
Attorneys Office and the Crime
Committee from the time Of the
inspectors indictment on gam
bling conspiracy charge until the
present. He said, however. that
he could recall only one instance
