S. KOREAN MINISTER CALLS\LATEST U.N. ARMISTICE PLAN ‘COWARDLY’ ACT &. Pyun Expresses Disappointment With U.S. World Leadersnip Move By BILL SHINN SEOUL, June 5 (®#—South Korea’s acting foreign minister today an-| grily denounced the United Nations id its latest Armistice plan as “dishonorable” and “cowardly.” He predicted bloodshed if Indian troops or Communist representa- tives enter South Korea after an Armistice. The U.N. plan, reported to have made a quick truce highly prob- able, has drawn uninhibited at- tacks from South Korean govern- ment sources. Although Minister Pyun Yung Tai did not indicate whether he| spoke for his government, he said in an interview: “We are merely disappointed about United States world leader- ‘ship. “I have never come across more dishonorable—and more cowardly plans. We are greatly disgusted | with such an ignominjous truce. We have now lost confidence in what the United Nations says. They say non-forcible. repatriation of POWs | but what they are actually doing | will result in forcible repatriation.” He predicted prisoners unwilling | “commit suicide from mere dis- gust.” Pyun, one of the loudest critics of the U. N. proposal, met with President Syngman Rhee in the morning, and with Rhee, U. S. Ambassador Ellis Briggs and Gen. Mark Clark, U. N. Far East com- mander, in the afternoon. Before the afternoon meeting | Pyun said he did nat believe Rhee | would accept Clark’s advice that |the aging South Korean president |co-operate in concluding an armi- stice. |. He said that even if Rhee might |try to co-operate, South Korea will not, and can not, accept a plan similar to a “death sentence.” He said the U. S. has promised more economic and military aid for South Korea after an armistice but added: “What is the good of any aid after death? We will thank them if we live long enough.” South Korea has balked stubborn- ly at the new proposal, and some government sources have threat- ened to continue the war. Such resistance could disrupt an armi- stice and the opposition has been a thorn in U.N. and U. S. planning, The officially-secret truce pro- posal reportedly would bring in |1,000 Indian troops to guard the | 48,500 Chinese and North orean prisoners who said they would re- | fuse to return to their homelands, It would also let in Red represen- and give “assurances” to those prisoners, Representatives of two Soviet Satellite countries, Poland and Czechoslovakia, also would come to Korea as members of a five- nation commission which would take custody of prisoners unwill- ing to go home. South Korea has maintained stoutly that India is not a true neutral and tends to favor Cont- munist aims. India, Sweden and Switzerland have been nominated also to the commission.

A check by Associated Press bu- reaus brought suca comments as “heaviest infestation in 20 ge ‘worsening by the hour” ‘million dollar damage to crops,” and comment by the U. S, Depart- \of Agriculture that preliminary re- sults of a survey now underway showed a “genera: outbreak” of army worms from the East Coast to the Mississippi. At Watertown, N. Y., tent cater- Pillars blanketed railroad tracks in such hordes that a freight train was delayed 35 minutes as wheels skidded on the pulpy mass. Minne- sota was ready to do battle, with the most complete pest control program in 30 years, against what experts have predicted will be the state’s “worst tent caterpillar in- festation” in history. Two other insect pests were re- ported out in major force in more limited areas. Massachusetts is foliage across 25,000 acres; and the grape steely beetle is plaguing vineyards in an area around West- field, N. Y. Serious infestations of army worms were reported from Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Missouri, West Vir- ginia, Kentucky, Maryland, Penn- |sylvania, Virginia, Louisiana and Tennessee. Tent caterpiliars are concentra- ted in New Jersey, New ‘York, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Washington, Georgia and Maine. No one could say what the cause of the outbreak was, but freakish weather was mentioned as a possible reason in some quarters. The U. S. Department of Agri- culture said its survey showed par- ticularly heavy ariny worm out- breaks in Maryland, Penusylvania, Indiana and Tennessee. In addition, jt reported damage |in Illinois and Indiana by the corn flea beetle and harm to the cotton crop jn some sections of the South by the boll weevil. The army worms concentrate on grass crops such es clover and grains like barley, rye, wheat and corn—but if supplies run out they readily turn to tobacco, tomatoes and other garden crops.

WASHINGTON (® — Republican leaders have agreed to put off any revision of the Taft-Hartley law until next year, ChairmanH. Alex- ander Smith (R-NJ) of the Senate Labor Committee disclosed today. Smith said he and Republican leader Taft of Ohio will try to get committee agreemert on a revi- sion bill, but that neither sees any “imperative necessity” to push it through the Senate this year. Smith called off a committee meeting scheduled for today after being postponed twice in the past two weeks. The session to draft amendments to the law, is not likely to take place until the week | after next, Smith said reaction to a series of amendments, which his commit- tee staff drew up last month, in- dicated that neither unions nor management would be adverse to letting the present law stand for another year, Smith said he has talked to Taft in the past few days and that they are agreed on this program: Attempt to get substantial com- mittee agreement on amendments in the past few days and that they are agreed on this program: Attempt to. get substantial com- mittee agreement on amendments to the law; introduce a bill em- bodying those amendments; circu- late the amendments and give Congress a chance to study them; then take them up in the Senate next year when the 83rd Congress meets for its final session. Neither the CIO nor the AFL would be likely to agree with Smith’s statement that organized labor now feels “‘Taft-Hartley is a pretty darn good law.” Nevertheless, both big labor or- ganizations are believed ready to accept the Taft-Hartley law for a while longer rather than risk the possibility of changes they would consider much tougher.
