On Capitol Hill Senator BealI.

which he said was designed to
provide a temporary emergency

public authority is ready to take
over at that time"
He said Representative Harris,
Democrat of Arkansas, another
lconferee, was prepared to offer
similar legislation in the House.
Senator Beall's resolution said /:
THE Commissioners Of the
District Of Columbia are hereby
directed to make preparation
Immediately to commence opera

basis. of the transit system of
the Washington metropolitan
area. presently operated by the
Capital Transit Co., after August

New Plan Sought
It was explained this was in

sioners devise some other system
than the proposals already adj
vanced for short-term emergency
operation Of transit here.
Under present legislation. the
company's franchise and corpo-
rate charter will die. It will have
neither the right nor the privi-
lege to operate on the streets

Florida Victory Aids Stevenson
Whether Mr.. Stevenson's type

full as the mud-slinging of Sem
ator Kefauver will be known
only when the ballots are

be sure, claims he is not making
a personal attack on Mr., Steven
son, but is merely stating facts.
Mr.. Stevenson emphatically de-
mics this.
Mr.. Stevenson's victory in the
Florida primary has aided him
here, but not to the extent that
q devastating rundown of SEN
ator Kefauver by the Florida
Democrats would have provided.
Indeed, the closeness Of the vote
- a mere 10000 statewide vote
lead for Mr.. Stevenson-has left
the Stevenson people a bit APP
prehensive of what might hap
pen in California.
In Floriad, the statewide ma
jority vote gave the winning

Mr.. Dunton ruled that the
Veterans Preference Act related
only to suspensions Of more than
80 days. He said there is
nothing in the act to prevent
summary suspension of police
officers for less than 80 days.
1T would seem, he said, that

actions by the Chinese or North
Korean Communists this would
not affect the main truce agree
ment.
But the implications are far
broader than Korea.
For in the view Of many West
fern officials the Korean truce was
a limited practical test Of one
kind Of arms control inspection
system.
In Korea, it was agreed be-
tween the Communist and U. N.
commands that weapons would
be introduced into North and
South Korea after the fighting
stopped only as requirements for
weapons which were worn out or
removed.
The purpose was to prevent q
new buildup Of military power
for offensive purposes. The sys-
tenn of neutral nations teams was
set up to check ports of entry
to inspect operations on both
sides and to report to an
ArmiStice Commission on any
violations.
Repeated Violation Charged
The charge renewed by the
U. N. Command yesterday was
that almost from the outset the
Communists had violated the
letter and the spirit of the agree
ment. It accused the Reds OF
introducing into North Korea
weapons of type not previously
there mainly jet airplanes.
Authorities here said indica-
lions are the Reds never meant
to keep the agreements. They
were also aided by limits which
were imposed on the inspection
procedures.
Ofhcials said this had signifi-
canoe in considering general dis
armament. The significance is
that limited inspections subject
to violation cannot be accepted
as adequate; only agreements
which provide for unlimited in
spection by air and ground teams
can be expected to work.
This issue has been dramatized
in exchanges between the United
States and Russia over two types
of inspection.

The United States and its
Korean allies yesterday again
accused the Communists in di-
vided Korea Of violating the
Armistice agreement which
ended the Korean war three
years ago.
The violations charged formed
the basis for a demand that the
Communists must withdraw
their members Of a neutral ma
Itions supervisory commission"
back into a neutral zone between
North and South Korea in a
week.
Cutlery From Reds
The Communists repeatedly
replied that the United States
and its allies are trying to wreck
the armistice. And Moscow ra-
|dio. heard in London. said the
United Nations Command action
was a gross violation Of the
|armistice.
However, officials here said
they expect the Reds will comply
with the demand under protest.
The effect would be to halt
operations in South Korea by
commission members from Com
munist Poland and Czechoslo-
|vakia. The other two member
nations. Sweden and Switzer-
land. have agreed with the
United States and South Korea
that Red violations and obstruc-
tons had rendered the commits
sion useless.
The effect is to concentrate
the commissions personnel in
the neutral zone and end en-
tirely its inspection operations
in North and South Korea.
