S. in years .continued unabated today despite efforts by Indie and other @ountries to close the breach. Day-long harmony moves were but diplomats held little ope for them. The two. great allies split far apart when the U. S. notified Brit- Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden ‘hat it could not accept a ‘backed Indian compromise ending the Korean prison- ar deadlock unless the pro- should be given a chance stand, but the U. S. wants details spelled out. India came up quickly with modifications but these aparently did not satisfy the U. S. ‘The 21 powers which backed an original American resolution held an urgent closed meeting last night at which U. 8. Secretary of State Dean Acheson detailed the American objections tc the Indian Toposals. The 21 apparently failed to find a position which would Please both Britain and the U. S. Feelings at the meeting were tense and afterwards press offi- cers of the British and American delegations were not even polite to one another—highly unusual in diplomatic circles, Eden stayed: away from the meeting but sent his top assistant, Minister of State Selwyn Lloyd. A spokesman said Eden hada long - standing social engage- ment,” but he went mum when reminded that Eden didn’t make up his mind to stay here until last Friday and therefore it was unlikely that he had a New York engagement for a day he expected to be in London. Acheson was scheduled to speak ate today in the U. N.’s 60-mem- ber Political oS but — Said he might postpone the speec: because of fast-breaking behind the scenes diplomatic developments. Achéson was scheduled to speak late today in the U. N.’s 60-mem- ber Political: Committee, but aides said he might postpone the speech because of fast-breaking behind the scenes diplomatic developments. Poland was also on the speakers list and some delegates hoped for a tipoff on official Communist re- action to the split between the Western allies. Moscow newspapers commented yesterday that the British-Amer- ican. differences over the Indian resolution just proved the Commu- EB H of nist contention that a’ major split— “gud” possibly: a wi een the U, S. and other "Western coun- tries is inevitable. The Soviet press also has made it plain that “the Russians de not consider the Indian plan the right solution to the POW isste. Both British and Americans made it clear that they are not divided on their basic refusal to send back prisoners whu say they are afraid to return to the Reds. lem and bring an armistice to Korea. The U, S, position is that the Indian plan’ is too vague and could give the Reds a chance to indulge in all sorts of stalling and double talk. They say they have had experience of negutiating with.

Not “Hot Rod” In Their Aims Some misunderstanding has arisen from the announcement of the formation of a “Hot Rod” club in Key West. State Highway Patrolman M. J. Wilder wishes to stress that the objectives of the new organiza- tion are in the interest of safe driving and keeping cars ‘in con- dition to promote safety on the highway. Cars belonging to boys who belong to the club must meet rigid safety standards, and must pass a safety inspection test. The boys in the club are work- ing toward getting facilities for working on their cars and con- verting them into spdrt cars with the idea of entering rodeos and other racing events. The club will be called the “Automotives,” a name the boys and Wilder chose. as covering their interests and ambitions. Back From Church To Horror Scene VIRGINIA, Minn.

Wilder reported today. This is the fourth totally wrecked car this month in which the drivers and passengers have escaped with. out serious injury, Wilder said. Paul Burdelsky off the USS Sen- net driving the Chrysler on Rock- land Key ran off on the shoulder at high speed, blew a tire and turned over one and one half times. He and John Dowling, also off the Sennet were unhurt save for minor cuts. “This is the fourth miracle this month,” Wilder said. “Though pro- perty damage to cars has been heavier than in many months, the people have been unhurt. They must slow down though, if these wrecks are to be avoided.” Wilder said that speed is on the increase on the highway. Drivers must start cutting down particu- larly with the holiday season ahead. Burdelsky is charged with reck- less driving. 16-Year Old Boy Found Drunk Sun.
