Communists Scorn
Truce Plan, Raze
Exchange Center
BY the Associated Press

PANMUNJOM, May 14.-The
Communists today said no to the
latest allied plan for exchanging
war prisoners and neither side
gave any indication of yielding
on that last major barrier to an
armistice in Korea.
Nearby. the Reds tore down
tents used for exchanging sick
and wounded war prisoners. in
dicating they're through trading.
The United Nations center still
stands.
At today's truce meeting, the
Reds called the allied counter
proposal to their eight-point
May offer absolutely unac-
ceptable" and said it intends to
overthrow the basis of negotia-
tions of both Sides"
The chief allied negotiator,
1t. Gen. William K. Harrison,
ir.. answered with charges that
the Reds illegally took allied pris-
oners across the Yalu River into
Manchuria and used others for
labor troops.
''New ViciOuSneSs" Charged.
He charged the Reds with re-
ducing warfare to a new vi
ciouSness" by impressing some
$4,000 captives into the Commu-
mist armed forces, rather than re-
leasing them at the front as the
Reds have maintained.
After 'he meeting. he told
newsmen:
There still is a complete diff
ference of opinion on the major
points"
Another session is scheduled
tomorrow.
The allied counter-offer would
free $4,000 North Korean pris-
oners who refuse repatriation
and. under certain conditions,
would put 14,500 Chinese in
temporary custody of a five-na-
tion commission made up of
Sweden, Switzerland, India, Po-
land and CZechoslovakia.
If two months of Red "expla-
nations" fail to sway the Chi
nese, the allies would release
them outright. The Red plan
would leave their fate to high
level, post-armistice conference.
Bitter Charges Hurled.
The o. N. command carefully
Veeded out of the Reds May 7
proposal any provision that could
force prisoners home against
their will and suggested that
India be the only nation on the
commission to supply troops.
At today's hour ur-and-34-min-
ute session, both sides hurled
bitter charges.
North Korean Gen. Nam II
calledsthe allied plan "unreason-
able and absurd" and said it was
simply a disguise" to hold pris-
oners forcibly.
The senior Communist dele
gate hammered at the allied
proposal in a long statement that
made it clear the Reds found
nothing suitable about it.

Will Be Answer to Critics.
The Presidents television sum-
nation of his first 100 days"
is expected to be in answer to
Democratic charges of inaction
in that period.
The President said he was not
prepared to give details about
Tuesday nights radio speech.
One questioner wanted to
know If he would recommend
any new taxes and the Presi-
dent responded that he proposed
to discuss the issue thoroughly
and say what he thought the
approach should be. He added
then he did not want to give
more details at this moment.
The question of the shifts in
the Joint Chiefs of Staff was
brought up when Gen. Eisen-
hover was asked if he thought
the new team would come up
with any new strategic plan or a
new concept of what this coun-
trys arms policy should be.
Gen. Eisenhower said, in ef-
feet, that there could be no great
departure in strategic plans, but
that different people have diff
ferent ideas as to the things that
should be done,
Lauds Old Comrades.
7 Dropping his voice then as he
became more serious. Gen. Eisen-
hover said he wanted to discuss
something that dear to his
heart. The men who have been
serving on the Joint Chiefs, he
said. are old comrades in arms
and he emphasized there was no
criticism OF the men who were
being relieved.
When one reporter suggested
the military changes were inter-
preted as a shift in emphasis
from the European to the Asiatic
theater. the President said firmly
that he saw no conflict between
the two fields.
When Gen. Eisenhowe- cx-
pressed approval of the plan to
give Congress members a boost
in salary. a reporter commented
that the President himself was
understood to be going into the
hole under his present salary,
which may not be raised during
his term.
Gen. Eisenhower replied that
he had made a facetious remark
along that line to show that he
was not insensible to the tax
problem. But he emphasized
that when any one has taken a
position such as he has, there
can be no complaint about the
pay problem.
The President also told his
conference that he thought the
question Of Hawaiian statehood
should be considered on it's own
merits and not tied in with the
plan to give statehood to Alaska.

Mysterious
Disease at
Lodge May
Be a New One

The mysterious disease that has
stricken 30 persons at Chestnut
Lodge Sanitarium may be polio
or some other disease entirely new,
according to DR.. V. L. Ellicott,
county health officer.
The health officer told the coun-
Gil Tuesday, experts have been un-
able to determine the exact iden-
tify of the disease. He added, how
ever, Il cannot say entirely there
is no indication of the cause of
the disease"
No Measures
The health officer said there was
no corrective measures that can be
taken at the sanitarium. He added
isolation of each patient at the
earliest possible time of recognition
was the best thing that can be done.
The victims, he said, have great
deal of muscle pain and muscle
weakness "here and there" He de-
scribed the outbreak as a battling
thing"
Of the 80 cases reported at the
sanitarium, only Is are on Health
Department records as polio. Either
these will be eliminated or the other
II added when the National Insti-
tutes of Health completes its study
of the cases. Five of the patients
have been under observation at the
new NH clinic in Bethesda.
No Mention
No mention of the continued in
cidence of the disease at the sani-
tarium was mentioned since the
18th case was reported as polio sew
eral weeks ago until the disclosure
was made at a press conference at
the NH last week.

Planning
For Upper
Montgomery

This Is the second of q series
of nine articles prepared By the
Upper Montgomery County PLon-
ming COmneissiOn.)
WHY ALL THE FUSS?
The population of Montgomery
County has increased by more than
third since the Census of Popu-
lation was taken in April of 1850.
The county population in 1850 was
164,401. The county population at
the present time is more than 1922
coo. Close to 1000 residential
building permits were issued in
Montgomery County during the
first seven months of 1858. Build
ing activity in the county during
1858 looks as though it will surpass
the high years of 1851 and 1852.
Upper Montgomery is growing
rapidly in its own right. The old
rule of thumb which said only 5
percent of the county's new con-
struction is put up each year in the
upper county will soon have to be
abandoned. During the 1905 three
elect ion districts Laytonsville,
> Clarksburg, and Poolesville) actual
ly lost population. Present trends
indicate that every portion of the
upper county will increase its popu-
lation by at least a quarter, and
one or two by more than 200 per-
cent, before the present decade is
completed. With the completion of
the Washington National Pike NEW
U. S. Route 24O) and the continued
county program for road improve
ment, these trends may reasonably
be expected to become even more
accelerated.
This Is Our Opportunity
AS residents Of the upper county
we have the tools which will guide
this anticipated growth into orderly
channels. These tools are planning,
coming, and subdivision regulations.
Unguided growth will bring prob
lens the solution Of which will be-
come more and more discouraging
as time goes by. The proper use of

oNdIC IdNOI dOlC
Beall said he had found that
the present police salary scale
i. compares favorably with wages
epaid policemen in IL other juris-
dictions when fringe benefits are
considered.
The major disparity, he said,
was in the work week, as most
other area police work only five
days.
The police last June asked for
raises averaging $500 a man, or
five day week with extra pay
for the sixth day. This would bring
them in line with salaries paid
District police.
Granting the request, Beall's re-
port stated, would cost the County
$125,000 year, or S93,750 for the
remainder of this fiscal year. He
said the police request should be
considered in light of it's effect on
other County employees, and said
no money is available to meet the
raises.
Rejects Compromise
Beall also rejected compromise
proposal of Safety Director Arthur
E. Miller to grant $187 a man
now and similar amount in the
budget to be adopted next June.
Beall did, however, urge that
more use of merit raise for out
standing day-to-day work by pol
icemen be made and that salary
/ steps be added in each rank be-
You'd the present five steps to pro-
vide encouragement to the career
officers.
Acting Council President ]. Lou
is Monarch said the Council will
not take any action on the pay
question until two councilmen re-
turn to their posts in about
month.
Cannot Sanction Requests
In his report, the new county
manager served notice that "con-
sideration throughout the year of
repeated pay raise requests-can-
not be sanctioned" He also urged
the civic, business and veterans or
CARNATIONS which have supported
the policemen's plea, to make their
views known during the pre-budget
sessions in the future.
