Sec. Dulles Accuses Communists
 Of Violating Korean Armistice

WAof1llNG OIN, f-oecIeCdIy of State Dulles Tuesday sharply accused the Communists of violat- ing the Korean armistice. But he said that the violations were not serious enough to justify resum- ing the war.
 In news conference, Dulles also disclosed that new protest has been sent through Britain to Communist China over the loss of three American lives in the shoot ing down of British airliner al- most two weeks ago off Hainan Island.
 Dulles said, on another Far East question, that United States war ships and airplanes would protect Formosa against any enemy at- tack but that this government has not made any decision to enter into a formal alliance with the Chinese Nationalist government.
 The Korean truce situation came in for detailed discussion. It has been dramatized in recent days by the visit here of South Korean President Syngman Rhee, who has demanded an end to the Neutral Nations Supervisory Commission which has kept rep resentatives of Communist gov ernments in South Korea.
 The United States, Dulles said, would be sympathetic to seeing the commission wiped out.
 Under Indian chairmanship it's members are Sweden, Switzerland and two Communist governments Poland and Czechoslavakia.
 Dulles said the nations which fought the Communists in Korea have discussed the possibility of ending the commission because of the activities of the Communist members. The question may come up during the United Nations As sembly meeting in New York this fall. The preliminary discussions were carried on incidental to the Asian peace talks at Geneva re- gently.
 Dulles said the situation re- specting the armistice supervision is this:
 In the north the Communist High Command, under the armis- tice terms, is supposed to let members of the armistice commits sion-meaning the Swiss and the Swedes who are important to the JUN. Command-see what goes on on at ports of entry designated in the agreement.
 However, they have circum- vented the armistice agreement by moving materials through routes which use other ports of entry into Korea and they deny the Swiss and Swedes opportunity to visit such points.

Of them go all the way in games
to sharpen them up a bit. Well

the squad, too. and begin to look
more like major league team"
Harris has employed 1O4 play
ers in five games, the latest Of
which was 1873 beating by
the Athletics yesterday at West
Palm Beach. The Senators have
produced only IL runs and have
averaged less than eight hits a
game.
Rockies Larry Clark and Dick
Hyde doubtless succeeded only
in winning themselves another
year in the minors with their
performances yesterday. Clark
was mauled for six hits and four
runs. including a two-run homer
by Harry Minor in the fourth
inning. Hyde was shelled for
five runs, including a grand
slam by Don Bollweg in the fifth.
McDermott Hit Hard.
McDermott was no sensation
in his debut with Washington.
Maury was socked for four runs
in his three-inning effort. The
Athletics pounded out II hits.
Bollweg led the attack with his
homer and two doubles. The
Senators nine hits off Bob Trice,
Bob Cain and Arnold Portocar-
rero were distributed among az
many players.
Scull and Paula continued to
press their bids to make the
squad. Angel inserted a solid
single in three tries, while Paula
doubled with two out in the ninth
and Sievers followed with home
run over the left-field wall.
NOTES: Jerry Snyder played
the entire game at shortStop as
Pete Runnels rested his damaged
wrist. Lou Limmer pulled a
leg muscle running out a double
which scored two runs off Nc
Dermott in the first inning. :.
Jim Busby has eight hits in II
tries. while Paula has four hits in
nine attempts.
The triumph was the AS fifth
in as many games. Tom UNI
phlett has stung the ball we'll on
occasions. but he hasn't hit in Is
attempts. Ed Moeller and
Bob Ross mopped up for the
Senators and held the AS to one
hit in the last three innings.
Terwilliger bowled over a pho

anything worse than ruffled dig

muscle this season, with Gus

BRADENTON, Fla, Mar. IS
An air of apprehension has de-
scended on the spring training
camp Of the Milwaukee Braves,
who have their fingers crossed
lest their pennant hopes dissipate
before the season opens.
The Braves are willing to ac-
-cept their share of bad breaks,
but they figure Bobby Thomson's
broken ankle constitutes big
enough headache for one season.
Now they are worried about
Eddie Mathews, their home-run-
hitting third baseman.
Mathews will be out for two or
three days with q back Sprain.
not a serious ailment on the sur
face. However, this is the third
time this spring Mathews has
had the same back trouble, and
Braves officials aren't hiding
their concern.
Mathews suffered the latest
sprain before yesterdays exhibit
ton against Cincinnati, won by
the Braves. l4-8. What worries
Milwaukee officials is the posi-
bi1ity that Mathews may not get
off so easily next time.
