MOSCOW, Feb. 9. = The So

time today to President Eisen-

mosa. They blasted it as an at
tempt to prevent a settlement of
the Korean war and to expand
fighting in the Far East.
The Communist Party paper

The newspaper said Americas
new FormoSa policy and the
"ultimatum and demands" on
Western Europe by United States
Secretary of State John Foster
Dulles "have aroused new ag-
gravations of disagreement in
the camp of the Anglo-American
bloc" Pravda termed this "the
inevitable result of the policy Of
the United States "a policy
which contradicts the basic vital
interests of all humanity"
This, it said. bore out Soviet
Premier Stains prediction last
october that war is inevitable

The statements of the new
United States administration in
Washington have foreshadowed
an expansion of war. not peace,
the paper said. It added:
After acQuainting themselves

observers can only come to the
conclusion that the program is

The White House was put on
notice by the FBI in the con-
cluding pages of it's report on
Soviet espionage that Red spy
ing was continuing apace at the
end of 1945.
There was no let-up. and it
was limited that espionage &C
tivity might be on the increase,
since the NKVD had ordered
its agents to produce the full
story on construction of the
atomic bomb by the end of De-
cember that year.
This concluding warning was
given to the White House: Igor
Guzenko. the former employe of
the Soviet military attache in
Ottawa, had advised a bureau
agent that Soviet spying could be
stamped out in the United States
only by stamping out the Com
muniSt Party.
That conclusion was based on
what the FBI considered con-
elusive evidence that the spying
was made successful by the ef-

Many of these alleged CO.
operators were named in the re-

presumption that even the great
resources of the FBI were un-
able to adduce information
which was admissible in court.
1t is a fair assumption also
that some of the FBI's informa-
ton characterized as coming
from reliable and confidential
sources was obtained by wire
tapping, not admissible in court.
Otherwise, it is difficult to ex-
plain why prosecutions were not
begun. Diplomatic reasons may
have made inadvisable the dis
closure and expulsion of Russian
employees known to be engaged
in espionage.

PANMUNJOM, Nov. IA
Allied and Communist diplomats
today pumped new life into
dwindling hopes for a Korean
peace settlement with agreement
on an agenda for preliminary
talks to arrange political con-
ference.
Top-level negotiators recon-
vened after a week-long recess
and approved an agenda drafted
by staff advisers in six secret
sessions.
The agreement provides for
simultaneous discussion of a
time and place for the peace
conference and of nations which
will attend. Communist insist
ence on deciding the compost
ton first had deadlocked the
preliminary talks for three weeks.
Approval of the agenda will
get the stalled preliminary talks
under way but United States En-
voy Arthur Dean told newsmen:
This is just the key that opens
the door. The real hard work is
just commencing"
POW Talks Still Stalled.
Meanwhile non-C Communist
members of the Korean Repatri-
alton Commission were increas-
ingly pessimiStic over the future
of Red interviews with Chinese
and Korean war prisoners who
have refused to go home.
Explanations have been can
celed for nine straight days be-
cause of Communist demands to
interview prisoners called" up
but not interviewed November S.
Armin Daeniker, Swiss men,
ber of the commission, said today
the future of the explanation
program doesn't "look very
good"
THE only solution seems to
be a change of mind by the
northern (Communist) COM
mand. If that is not forthcom-
ing the work may have to go
on by other meanS-but we
shouldn't talk too much about
that at this STAGE" he added.
Only 38 days remain for per-
suasion interviews with some
10000 prisoners. India is ex-
pected to use her custedial Off
GERS to determine which POWs
wish to return if the Reds con-
tinue their delays.
Similar to Dean Proposal.
The agenda for the preliminary
political talks closely parallels a
plan proposed first by Mr.. Dean
October 81. At that time Red
negotiators called it "sleight of
hand" and absolutely unaccept-
able"
Mr.. Dean said after today's
meeting that he always has been
optimistic about chances for a
Korean peace conference land
I am even more optimistic now"

negotiators will meet again

The Communists have insisted
from the beginning that they

for the peace conference only

larly Asian neutrals-be invited

Composition Tops List.
Mr.. Dean has insisted that
time and place be decided first.
He offered to exchange views
on composition of the conference
after that, but told the Reds he
has no authority to decide the
question.
The U. N. Assembly voted to
invite belligerent nations to the
peace conference, with Russia
sitting on the Communist side
if North Korea and Red China
invite her.

ments and expenditures for the
political conference.
Informed quarters said listing
composition at the top of the
agenda-as demanded by the
Communists-is not significant
since all items will be discussed
simultaneously.
Mr.. Dean said the Communists
feared that if they agreed on
a time and place first, allied
negotiators would walk out on
the preliminary talks.
II assured them this was not
the case" he added.

Biggest Test in Bid

By MerreII WhittIesey

Maryland's bid for its second
undefeated football season in
the last three years was to meet
its strongest test today in the
University of Mississippi, the
Nations 11th-ranked team.
The Terps, ranked second in
the Associated Press poll, rated
from even money to 14-point
favorites over the once-beaten
Rebels in the 2 o'clock game in
Byrd Stadium at College Park.
With clear, mild weather fore
cast, late ticket sales may boost
the attendance over the 10000
mark. but there is little chance
of a sellout.
Terps Win Eight Straight.
Maryland has won eight
straight and 81 of its last 20
games, while Ole Miss, possibly
the country's most underrated
team because of its out-of-the-
way location, has won 16, lost
two and tied two of its last 20.
It was a week later in Novem-
ber last year that Maryland took
a 19-game streak to Oxford, Miss.
The Terps were disturbed about
their bowl prospects and made
the mistake of taking the Rebels
lightly. Ole Miss won, 21-14, and
the statistics were fare more one
sided in its favor. Maryland
then lost to Alabama next week

NBC Will Carry
Talk on Radio
And TeIevision
BY the Associoied Press

NEW YORK, Nov. 14.-Former
President Truman said today he
will make an "all-out broadcast"
Monday night from Kansas City
on the Harry Dexter White
case.
The broadcast will tell all
the facts" Mr.. Truman told
newsmen in the lobby of the
Waldorf Towers as he prepared
to leave to board a train for his
home in independence, Mo.
Mr.. Truman earlier told news
men it was possible he trans
ferred White from the Treasury
Department to the international
Monetary Fund to give the FBI
a chance to watch him.
Attorney General Brownell has
charge dthat Mr.. Truman
promoted White to be United
States director of the Monetary
Fund although Mr.. Truman was
aware that an FBI report had
labeled White as spy for Russia.
Rejected Subpoena.
Mr.. Truman declined to heed
q subpoena from the House Un-
American Activities Committee
to tell what he knew about the
case.
The broadcast will mark his
first comprehensive statement in
the controversy.
Referring to the broadcast, Mr..
Truman told the reporters:
III give you boys everything
you have been trying to get out
of me fo rthe past week."
When Mr.. Truman first an
nouncde that he was going to
make a broadcast, newsmen
asked if it would concern the
White case.
The former President laughed
and said it would deal with "the
pending difficulties"
To a question whether his
speech would be carried also on
television, he said that would
depend on the situation at the
time. Mr.. Truman did not say
what networks would carry the
speech.
On Radio and TV.
Major networks reported they
knew nothing of the intended
speech until Mr.. Truman made
his public announcement. NBC
announced later that it would
carry the address on both radio
and television. The time was
set tentatively for 10:30 pm.
Other major networks said
they had not yet formulated
their plans concerning the
speech.
While agreeing it was ''possi-
BILE" he transferred White to help
the FBI keep him under sur
veillance, Mr.. Truman said he
would have to check into his
records to recall the circum-
stances.
Asked About Report.
Newsmen accompanying him
on his traditional morning stroll
asked him:
rs it true that you knew of
the FBI report on White and at
the suggestion of the FBI you
appointed him executive direc-
tor of the international None
tary Fund to put him in a posi-
ton to be watched?"
Il have not examined the rec
ord on the matter and my men,
ory is hazy," Mr. Truman said.
Il would have to look it up"
IF the FBI made such a re-
quest, would you have complied?"
he was asked.

man said.
