Dulles Rejects North Korean Peace Proposal As Scheme To Destroy
 Present South Korean Government

GENEVA, (R - Secretary of State Dulles today rejected North Korea's peace proposal as "a scheme designed to destroy the authority of the existing CSeouD government and to replace it by a Communist puppet regime"
 At the same time, Dulles called on the 19-nationsFar Eastern con- ference to back up the 1948 United Nations plan calling for general elections under U. N. supervision.
 Implementation of this pro- gram, he said, would require the Chinese Communists ito with draw their forces of aggression and occupation from North Korea sc that the United Nations can complete it's task in an atmo- sphere free of menace"
 The Secretary of State said the United States does not wish it's own troops to remain in Korea indefinitely, but once before the United States had withdrawn its troops and this turned out to be premature.
 Dulles said the North Korean proposal for general elections, presented yesterday by Foreign Minister Nam Il, lis in essence the same as that made in June, 1850, as prelude to the armed attack on the Republic of Korea"
 The present Communist pro- pOsal on Korea provides that the freely elected government of the Republic of Korea, representing at least three-quarters of the Ko- rean people, would be forced into combination, on the basis of equality, with the Communist rel gime ruling a small minority of the people in the north.
 "This then is the North Korean proposal. The United States must reject that proposal because it does not meet the requirement of free, unified and independent Korea, for which so much blood has been expended and suffering endured"

Won't Admit or Deny
Arizona Abduction
BY the Associoied Press

PHOENIX, Ariz., June IA
41-year-old unemployed welder
with two children was jailed for
investigation of kidnapping today
after Mrs. Evelyn Ann, Smith
identified him as her abductor.
The suspect. Daniel j. Marsin,
refused to admit or deny his
guilt.
He grinned broadly when Mrs.
Smith, %, wife of a Phoenix in
dustrialist. picked him from a
police lineup of five men.
That's him." said Mrs. Smith.
There no question about it."
Prosecutor Accuses Him.
William Mahoney, Maricopa
County attorney, closeted him
self with MarSin for several
hours and later announced:
He gave marginal details of
the kidnapping, but would neither
admit nor deny the act without
full advice of competent at
torney. But, this much I know
he's the guy"
Marsin, who has lived in
Phoenix with his wife and chill
dren since 1851, refused to make
any statement to police. He
would not discuss whether he
was the man who kidnapped the
young mother at gunpoint
Wednesday afternoon and held
her captive for "a hours until
$4,000 was paid.
No Clues on Money.
Police admitted they had no
clues to what happened to the
ransom money which the VIC
TINS husband, Herbert Smith,
said he left as directed at the
Superstition Mountains, IS miles
east of Phoenix.
When MarSin was arrested
five miles from the payoff point
late Thursday night. he had only
II cents in his pockets.
He was naked to the waist
when he stumbled into a ranch
house pleading for a drink of
water. Sheriff's deputies who
were questioning the home own
ers booked him as a possible
suspect.
The deputies said Marsin told
them at that time he had been
prospecting and ran out of
water, then tore of his shirt
and undershirt when he became
deliriouS.
Police said he made several
statements last night which con-
flicted with his original story"
Last night he was placed in
police lineup with four men who
looked somewhat alike, and Mrs.
Smith promptly pointed co him.
"I won't say whether Tn
guilty or not" said Marsin e!tcr
