South Koreans
 Again Try Assault Inspection Teams

SEOUL, tR - Three hundred shouting Koreans, ignoring mo violence" edict by their president, stormed the causeway to Wolmi Island again today but were turn ed back by US. troops manning tear gas guns and fire hoses.
 The milling demonstrators, con- tinuing South Korea's campaign to drive out Communist members of neutral inspection teams, broke up quickly before the determined stand.
 Waving banners and chanting slogans, the mob drove as far as barbed wire barricades thrown up by the Americans, then faltered and retreated.
 They were trying to reach the billets of Czech and Polish mem bers of the inspection groups sta toned on the island just outside the port of Inchon.
 It was the third attempt to storm the island in five days. The disorders began last Satur- day with an ultimatum for the Communist inspectors to get out by midnight next Saturday. Twenty-two Americans and 80 Koreans have been injured, none seriously.

Dulles Appeals To Korea To Avoid Violent Action

WASHINGTON, R Secretary of State Dulles appealed to South Korea today to exercise patience and avoid violent action in eff forts to oust truce supervisors from the country
 Dulles asserted emphatically at a news conference that the United States intends to live up to its obligations to protect the truce team members who include Communist Czechs and Poles.
 South Koreans have staged vio- lent demonstrations against the truce teams, in which a number of American soldiers have been injured, none seriously. Korean President Syngman Rhee has de- manded they get out of his coun- try.
 Dulles agreed with South Kor- can charges that these Reds are little more than spies, but he said he does not think informa- ton they pick up can imperil the Republic of Korea.
 Dulles also rejected, in re- sponse to questions, the whole idea of trying to unify Korea or any other divided nation in to- days world by force.
 Dulles said because of the de- vastation of atomic war the country might be unified only for insects and not for people. He added he doubts whether that would be satisfactory even to the hot-tempered, red-hating South Koreans.

Canada Looks To Atom As Major
 Source of Power

GENEVA, R-Canada reported today that within 10 years she may be producing atomic power that can compete in some areas with coal and water power.
 And from 1870 on, two Can adian experts told the 72-nation Atoms-For-Peace Conference that atomic power may begin to emerge "as a major if not the major, source of electricity in Canada"
 J. Davis, an economist of Can ada's Department of Trade and Commerce ,and W.B. Lewis, re- search vice president of the Dom inion's atomic project at Chalk River, Ont, made the report.
 They told delegates to the U.N.- sponsored meeting that the per formance of one of Canada's re- search reactors and other studies raised the possibility of produc- ing power at seven mills per kilo- watt hour within the next 10 years.
 Atomic energy plants with an even better performance than this may we'll be under construc- tion in Canada before 1965," they added.
 The Canadians said that be- cause of their country's abundant water and coal resources, nuclear power must drop below eight mills before it can compete "any- where in Canada"

Demo Says Ike Is Old Man And May Not Run In l956

CHICAGO, LR - Democratic Gov. c. Mennen Williams today described President Eisenhower as "an old man" who may not want a second term but who is likely to be forced by Republi- cans into running in 1856.
 Williams, who said he is leav- ing the door open to the possibil- ity that he may seek his own party's nomination, told reporters at the 47th Annual Governors Conference, "a lot of things can happen before next years party conventions.
 President Eisenhower is an old man." Williams said. ''He may die before the campaign starts" Eisenhower is GA years old.
 When a reporter remarked this seemed "a cold-blooded state ment," Williams supplemented it by saying Adlai E. Stevenson, the 1852 Democratic nominee, for any of us may die before that time"
 Williams noted if Eisenhower runs and is reelected, he will be- come the nations oldest Presi- dent before he completes new four-year term.
 He accused Eisenhower of "re- pudiating his promises" made to the farmers in the 1852 campaign, adding that "the farmers have become the forgotten men of our economy" He said the segment of labor that voted for Eisen- hover in 1852 suffered "quick disillusionment."

Eisenhower Will Ask For Major Changes In Military Reserve Program

WASHINGTON, R-President Eisenhower says he'll ask Con- gress early next year to make ma jor changes in the new military reserve program, which he signed into law yesterday.
 He said the measure, product of three months of Congressional ,wrangling, falls short" of his recommendation.
 The goal of the new program is expansion of the 7O0,0O0-man ready" reserve to 2,900,0O0 men. Eisenhower wanted this goal met by 1860, saying it was vital to his plan for reducing the active armed forces. But changes made by Congress in effect postponed the full reserve buildup by two years.
 The President complained the bill fails to grant authority to draft men for the reserves eff sui ficient numbers to meet military requirements are not obtained voluntarily"
