CRITICAL KOREA PROBLEM WILi.|-—— FACE NATL SECURITY COUNCIL Dulles, Stassen Will Report To Session Today WASHINGTON (# — A _ special meeting of the National Security Council gave President Eisenhow- top military and foreign policy ad- wisers today the critical problem | | Posed by South Korea’s rejection | ‘of the latest truce terms submit- Ld to the Communists in Korea. A threat by Syngman Rhee’s @overnment to break up any armi- mistice reached on United Nations terms as pres-nted to the Reds @ week ago threw gloom over what flickering hopes existed that an end to the fighting might be achieved. The announced purpose of the security council session was to hear a report from Secretary of Mate Dulles and Foreign Aid Ad- ministrator Harold E. Stassen on their 20-day tour of the Middle East and South Asia, But it appeared to be a virtual certainty that the truce situation would come up for discussion at the meeting of the government's top foreign-military planning body, Dulles will report to the public on the trip which he and Stassen made, His department described as a major foreign policy pro- Bouncement the speech Dulles Planned tonight (8 p. m., EST) over ABC radio and television and over Du Mont television networks, with a rebroadcast by NBC (9:30 p. m.) and possibly others in differ- ent time zones. Dulles, Secretary of Defense Wil- gon and Gen. J. Lawton Collins, the Army chief of staff, conferred Saturday with Eisenhower. Declin- ing to give details, -the White House said the sezsion was de- voted to Korea, South Korea’s amhassador, You Chan Yang, declared on an NBC television interview yesterday that his country will ‘go it alone” if a truce is reached which leaves Ko- rea divided. He said U. S. efforts to enforce compliance with such a truce would be “tragic and short-sighted.” “When a thief comes and kills your wife and family,” he asked, “do you punish him, or do you just tell him: ‘Stay over there’?” Noting that the U. S. and the United Nations are on record as favoring a united Korea, Yang said agreement on anything less would mean that the Communists have “definitely won the war.” Questioned about South Korea’s threats to fight on alone if a truce not satisfactory to them is reached, Yang conceded that its capabili- ties of resisting the Communists are limited. But he said the Ko- Teans would rather die than be enslaved, and he added: “We would hope and pray some- one would see it our way and help.” James H. Cromwell, former U.S. ambassador to Canada, who is now military adviser to South Korea, said on an ABC television pro- gram from Philadelphia yesterday he, doesn’t think that country is in position, materially, to boycott the U. N, armistice plan. He said he would advise Rhee to accept the armistice terms because Rhee “has the personal guarantee of President Eisenhower that the actual and final peace terms will meet all reasonable and fair ob- jections of the Republic of South Korea.” Yang said that if the prisoner of war issue were the only one pre- venting a truce, South Korea would Page 10 Will Appear Before Senate Subcommittee uring The Week By EDWIN B, HAAKINSON WASHINGTON (®—The Penta- gon’s top command, including Sec- retary of Defense Wilson and the |retiring chiefs of staff, gets a chance to speak up publicly this } week in the dispute over military cutbacks, All will appear before the Sen- ate appropriations subcommittee conducting hearings on President Eisenhower’s proposal to trim five billion dollars from former Presi- dent Truman’s new defense money request for the year starting July i Many Democrats and some Re- publicans in Congress have voiced opposition to the reduction, but Rep. Mahon (D-Tex), a veteran of such money battles, predicts Eisen- hower will have his way. Wilson, at whom most of the opponents’ criticism has been beamed, has asked for a chance to explain in public the reasons behind the cutback decision. Some critics have called for Wilson’s resignation and demanded to know what role the Joint Chiefs played in reaching the decision, Leadoff witnesses today are Adm. William M. Fechteler, re- tiring Navy chief, and Secretary of the Navy Anderson, Gen. J. Lawton Collins, outgo- ing Army chief, and Secretary of the Army Stevens are scheduled to testify tomorrow. Gen. Hoyt S. Vandenberg, stepping out as Air Force chief, and Secretary of the Air Force Talbott testify Wednes- day in a session expected to pro- vide the most fireworks. Wilson and Under Secretary of Defense Roger M. Kyes are slated to appear Thursday. Most of the congressional criti- cism has centered upon proposals to cut new funds for the Air Férce by five billion dollars and reduce its mid-1955 goal from 143 to 120 combat wings of 30 to 75 airplanes each, In data released Saturday, the Defense Department said that even with this reduction the Air Force would get the equivalent of another jet fighter wing in the next 1% years. But it said the program will trim out 1,150 noncombat planes, New funds for the Navy were cut about a billion dollars, . but Wilson said nearly 10 billions of new appropriations, plus unspent funds, would give the Navy a total of more than 40 billions. Of this, Wilson said about 11 billions would be spent in the fis- WHATEVER YOUR NEEDS IN THE LINE OF Children’ TOYS COME TO THE TROPICAL TRADER 718 Duval St. Dial 2-6262 H THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Top Pentagon Command To Be Heard On Military Cutbacks Monday, June 1, 1953 Record interest Offered On Bills WASHINGTON #—The treasury is offering a record high interest | rate of 2.383 per cent on an 800/ million dollar issue of tax. antici- pation bills. Such bilis are bought by taxpay- ers, mainly corporations, as a means of investing funds being set aside for taX payments coming due shortly. The bills are purchased | through sealed bids at a discount | and are used at full face value to Pay taxes. The issue, dated June 3 to ma- ture Sept. 18, was announced last night by Secretary of the Treasury Humphrey. It was timed to take up in advance the taxes to be paid | Sept. 15, when a quarterly corpor- ation tax paymeht comes due. The last player to captain the | New York Yankees was Lou Gehr- ig. cal year that begins July 1, add- ing this should provide about 408 | warships and 16 carrier groups. Wilson said the Army would continue to. have 20 divisions, 18 regimental conibat teams and 117 anti-aircraft battalions by expendi- ture of about 16 billion dollars in the next fiscal year. The Eisenhower budget gave the Army about a billion more of new funds which, with unspent previous funds added, total above 30 bil- lions, In predicting approval of Eisen- hower’s defense program, Mahon indicated he personally opposes the proposed Air Force cutback. e Texas Democrat, who headed House appropriations subcom- mittee on military spending under Democratic administrations, said he thought there might be a com- Promise “and the Air Force will get a little bit of a break.” Mahon appeared on a radio pro- gram for Texas stations yesterday, along with Senate Democratic Leader Lyndon B. Johnson of Tex- as. Johnson said the budget re- ductions “would cut some muscle as well as the fat in our defense.” However, the Defense Depart- ment maintained in its statement Saturday that too much money has been approrpriated for the Air Force—more than can be spent in presently planned time.

During this month -- June -- the} National Safety Council has adopt- ed as a theme: Speed Control. “The History of Speed’? which fol- lows is a suggested editorial re- leased by this Council ant has been ay iMpOTtAT Wine | in the world since time began. The history of man can be told in the story of his efforts to do things faster and better. Early man found the lever an aid to lifting. Then someone dis- covered the wheel and the pulley as aids in moving loads. Slow? Yes, but faster, better | than before. Later primitive geniuses found ways to harness ature - to couple the power of wind and water with the earlier tools - and the first machines were born! This all led eventually to the in- ternal combustion engine which! made possible, among other things, | today’s vast parade of motor ve-| jhicles on the streets and highways | of the world - truly a high level of | speed and efficiency for business | and pleasure. | But as technology has stepped up | the tempo of our lives it has| brought with it the necessity for developing more and more skill in | the use of its inventions. Even when the cave man used the lever he had to develop a certain amount of skill and good judgement to keep from injuring himself. How much more skill and good | judgement is needed to operate safely the modern automobile! It takes only a simple pressure of the foot on ‘the accelerator to make a car shoot forward, faster and faster - 50, 60, 70, 80. Bigger and more powerful engines are being built for better performance and fuel economy, and higher top speeds are a by-product. But the safe driver must know for himself how fast he should go. | He must never drive faster than} is safe under existing conditions. | When these are less than ideal, the | driver must compensate by reduc- ing his speed. Rain, snow, ice, a rough or winding road, a car that| needs repair, heavy traffic, fatigue, | headache, emotional disturbance- | all are conditions that the driver} should take into consideration. Speed too great for existing con- ditions is a contributing factor in| one out of every three fatal motor vehicle accidents. The exercise of simple good | judgement by every driver can| remedy this situation, can keep us; from abusing and destroying the advantages of the power and speed for which man has been striving | since history began. soe ccrerneerinna neem at POPULAR PRICES WRITE or WIRE for RESERVATIONS Miller Hotel 229 N.E.
