President Eisenhower promised
today to attend a charity base
ball game here August 10 be-
tween Washington and Boston

first time that Boston slugger

teams to contribute one days
net income to the Red Cross
without paying income taxes on
the money.
The Nationwide scheme is ex-
pected to net the Red Cross $12
million.
President Eisenhower got an
outline of the program during a
visit from j. C. Folger. district

The Sabre losses did not in

Capt. Parr described his kill:
Il made two identification

him one burst from about 1000
feet and raked the fuSelage. The

minute and then tipped over on
its back and burned"
The IL-12 carried at least a
pilot and co-pilot, the Air Force
said. No crew members or pas
sengers were seen to bail out.
The kill was unusual in that this
type of plane is rarely seen south
of the Yalu River.
The last allied planes to hit
the Reds were night-flying
American B-26 light bombers.
They ceased operations at 10
pm, the hour the ceasefire be-

Rhee Won't Disturb

Not TO Despair us Aims

BY the Associoted Press

SEOUL, July 27.-President
Syngman Rhee declared today
after the signing of the Korean
armistice that the Republic of
Korea would not disturb the
truce for "a limited time" while
a political conference attempts
to liberate and unity Korea.
The White-haired South Ko-
rean leader said in a statement
the republic still holds this
promise for her countrymen in
North Korea:
do not despair. We shall not
forget nor neglect you. The
fundamental aim of the Korean
nation remains and will be ac-
complished-to reclaim and re-
deem our provinces and our peo-
pie in the north-with the def
mite pledge of the United Ma
tions' cooperation to this end"
Cooperation Insured.

mistice while political confer

unification of Korea" Mr.. Rhee
went on.
Our understanding with the
United States insures effective
cooperation between our two
nations in maintaining the secur-
ity of the area of our mutual
interests.
Rehabilitation of South Ko-
rea will proceed promptly and eff
fectively.
will the Communists DO as
much for the north?"
Recalls Controversy.
Mr.. Rhee recalled his long
controversy with her allies over
whether Korea could best be uni
fed by war or through peaceful
means.
II have opposed the signing
of the truce because of my con-
viction that it will prove to be
the prelude to more war, not
less; to more suffering and ruin;
to further Communist advances
by war and by Subversion," Mr.
Rhee said.
Now that it is signed, pray
that my judgment of it's effects
may turn out to be wrong"
Then he made his promise ito
our suffering brethren who re-
main for a time under the Com
munist tyranny" that they would
eventually be freed.
The 78-year-old President said
his government would issue
some time later "a detailed ex-
planation of why we have
adopted this changed policy of
not disrupting the truce"

Truce Raises New Set
Of Diplomatic Issues;
Struggles Are Likely
BY John N. Hiehtower


Diplomats took over the battle
for Korea today, and with the
lifting of the pressures of open
war a new set of problems and
dangers arose to plague allied
and Communist governments
alike.
Foremost among these on the
allied side is the threat of an
eventual angry struggle between
the United States and Britain
over admission of Red China to
the United Nations.
AS for the Communists, there
is speculation already about the
impact of the armistice on rela-
tionS among Russia, Red China
and, North Korea "a situation
about which Western govern
ments know little but hope for
much.
1t is too early to tell yet
whether the uneasy truce that
has settled over Korea's she'll
churned battlefront means the
beginning of a new and more
peaceful era in the worldwide
conflict between the Communist
and free nations. But officials
here have no doubt that it poses
many problems which are insol-
uble while the fighting ragged.

An Impressive Debut
New Angel LobeI Bows With Records
By Giesekine and Sehworzkopf
TurntobIe Talk
By Jones 6. Deone

I can't think Of a better
christening for a new record
label than q batch of discs
made by Walter Gieseking and
Elisabeth Schwarzkopf.
Both GieSeking, one of our
days pre-eminent pianists,
and Nine. Schwarzkopf, who,
as the Metropolitan Opera and
others have lately been coming
to realize, is one Of the days
superior sopranos. are involved
in a fair number of the first
releases by Angel Records, that
new adjunct Of the. famous
British combine known as E.
M. I. electric and Musical
Industries Ltd, whose fancy
and unusually tasteful pack
ages have been on record-shop
> shelves for the last several
weeks. Angel. which hence
forth will be the American
agent of English Columbia.
intends to be a major factor
on the United States record
scene. and these first releases
lend substance to this am
bition.
Nine. Schwarzkopf's sub
stantial artistry is embodied
most individually in a disc of
Schubert lieder and another
of Mozart operatic arias, and
most effervescently in a per-
formance of Franz Lehar'S i'm
perishable but usually rather
time-worn operetta, "The
Merry Widow" Another
Schwarzkopf lieder record is
in the catalog but hasn't
reached here yet. She is in
volved also in a forthcoming
Bach B Minor Mass.
I can virtually guarantee
that no one who has not heard
"The Merry Widow" a la
Schwarzkopf has ever really
heard it at all. No one, at
least. who lives outside VII
emma. Lehar's bubbling melo-
dies rarely have been so ex-
uberantly projected. Schwarz-
kopf's musically tantalizing
portrayal of the title role is
buttressed by excellent work
by Erich Kunz and Emmy
Loose and promising tenor
named Nicolai Gedda, and
by the knowing conducting of
Otto Ackermann. The two
discs also include enough of
the spoken dialogue Gin Ger
man, and great fun to listen
to- to give a coherent SEM
blance Of plot, and the whole
thing is handsomely recorded.
All this is a sufficiently pleas
ant surprise to win plaudits
from even the weighty Wag-
merriam, Ernest Newman, who
has contributed the program
notes. No one who enjoyed,
and acquired, the infectious
Viennese "F1edermaus" of a
while back should miss audit
ing this.
Quite as rare-perhaps more
