Red.Re|d els
Feared Dead
By the Associated Press

The White House expresses
doubt that any of 452 Ameri-
can servicemen still listed as
missing in the Korean War is
still alive.
But it said the United States
continues to ask Red China
about them. Ha
This word. came from Press
Secretary James c. Hagerty
after President Eisenhower told
his news conference yesterday
the United States has had con-
tinuing conversations with the
Chinese Communists on the
whereabouts of the men.
Briefing reporters on the
situation, Mr.. Hagerty was
asked if any of the 452 is alive.
He replied:
I'VE just don't know. Chances
are they are not alive. But we
still want an accounting and
we have not given up hope"
United States negotiatorS
have been under standing in
structions to bring up the ques-
ton with the Communists.
This has been done countless
times at Panmunjom, Korea,
and at Geneva and Warsaw
where talks have been held
with the Red Chinese.
Mr.. Hagerty said the issue
was raised April q at Pan
munjom by the chief United
Nations negotiator, Rear Adj
miral r. H. Num-.
The issue was raised, too, at
Warsaw on March "a, Mr..
Hagerty said. declaring the
Reds were evasive and made
irrelevant counter charges.
The total U. N. missing list
stands at 2,147, including the
452 Americans Most are South
Koreans. This is reduction
from a larger list of 3,400, in
Guiding 944 Americans, origi-
nally drawn up in the fall
of 1858.
The State Department came
up later with evidence that
more than half of the 944
Americans we're dead.
But United States negotiatorS
say Communist response as to
the fate of the remaining 452
has been totally unacceptable,
The United States position is
that the Reds have an obliga-
ton. under the Korean armi-
stice terms, to account for the
men.

Of Scoring q Mouse

Mrs. Cooper told him she put
the mouse in the cage to dem

testified. 1.-The snake kept lift
ing its head and thrusting out
its tongue"
Mrs. Cooper testified the
mouse and the snake were in
fact old buddies.
She brought both into court
and took the python out of his
cage and cuddled him to show
how tame he was. Meanwhile
the mouse ran around on the
floor in front of the witness
box. He looked plump and
healthy.
Judge F. w. Fawdry re-
marked that sometimes the

communism making little head

area.
1T was my impression that
whatever threat of communism
there is in these countries it
can be easily checked if we

AS chairman Of a Latin Amer
lean subcommittee of the For

The Oregon Senator said the
best way to check communism
in Latin America is by land re-
form because the growth of
communism has been in rural
areas. He made it clear he had
in mind land reform accom-
plished with adequate compen-
sation and not by confiscation.
Senator Morse said the peo-
pie of South America are for
disarmament and that their
need is not for military aid.
In extending economic credit
he said, this country must be
careful not to appear to be
