HOSTILITIES TO CEASE TWELVE HOURS AFTER TRUCE SIGNING Armistice Document To Be Signed By Gen. Clark, Two Communists Leaders PANMUNJOM (®—Here are the Major terms of the armistice docu- ment agreed to prior to settlement of the prisoner exchange issue: 1, An armistice will be signed at Panmunjom by Gen. Mark Clark, United Nations commander im chief, and the two Communist! commanders, Marshal Kim Il Sung of North Korea and Gen. Peng Teh- huai, commander of the Chinese forces in North Korea. 2. Hostilities will cease 12 hours after the document is signed. 3. Within 72 hours, troops and equipment will be withdrawn from a demilitarized buffer zone be- tween the opposing armies. 4. A demarcation line, coincid- ing with the battle line, will be drawn across the peninsula and troops and equipment will be with- drawn two kilometers (about 1% miles) from cach side of the line to make up the buffer zone. (A demarcation line was drawn and agreed upon in November, 1951, Since that time there have been some battle changes in the line but the gains or losses on either side are reported not more than half a mile at any point. A review of the precise line just be- fore an armistice would be made although both sides conceivably could agree to accept the line already drawn. The line runs north of the 38th Parallel except for a small portion on the extreme western end.) 5. A military armistice commis- sion would be created, made up of five senior officers of both sides and empowersd to have general supervision of the truce. At least three of the officers on each side would be either generals or ad- mirals, 6. Both sides would halt rein- forcement of troops and equipment when the armistice hecomes effec- tive. The truce would thus freeze the number of troops and arms at the truce level. 1. Rotation of troops home would be permitted up to 35,000 men per month, 8, Within five days after the truce is signed, men and arms would be withdrawn from islands in the rear of the other side. This pro- vision affects only the Allies since they occupy vital islands off North Korea while the Communists occu- py no islands off South Korea. 9. Five “ports of entry” were designated in North Korea and five in South Korea through which replacement troops and material would be permitted. 10. The military armistice com- mission would have 10 joint ob- server teams made up of an equal number of officers from each side of which some would be of field- grade rank. 11. Headquarters of the military armistice commission would be at Panmunjom and it would settle disputes and reported truce viola- tions “through negotiations.” It wotld have no chairman. 12. A neutral nations supervisory commission would be established aad the armistice commission would be empowered to call upon it to investigate reported truce violations. 13, The neutral nations super- visory commission would be made up of four senior officers, two from each side, This commission would be made up of officers from Po- land, Czechoslovakia, Sweden and Switzerland. 14, The supervisory commission would have headquarters also at Panmunjom and would have at its disposal inspection teams. 45, The supervisory commission would be empowered to carry out observation and inspection and re- port to the military armistice com- mission, 0 16. The supervisory commission | will have 20 inspection teams. It/ will station one at each of the five ports of entry in North Korea; and at the five in South Korea | and will have 10 mobile inspec- tion teams in reserve. 17, The commanders of both sides recommend to the govern- ments concerned that a political | conference be held within 90 days after the armistice. } The provision for a political con- ference reads: “In order to insure the peaceful settlement of the Korean question, the military commanders of both sides hereby recommend to the governments of the countries con- cerned on both sides that within three months after the armistice agreement is signed and becomes | effective a political conference of a higher level of both sides be held by representatives appointed Tespectively to settle through nego- tiations the question of the with- drawal of foreign forces from Korea, the peaceful settlement of the Korean question . .. ~ Everybody Mappy First Voter — 1 think it good sending us free seeds.

Eisenhower, Page 10 MAIN POINTS OF POW EXCHANGE AGREEMENT PANMUNJOM #—The following are the main points of the 26-point POW exchange agreement signed here today: 1, The neutral nation repatriation commission composed of Sweden, Switzerland, Poland, Czechoslova- kia and India will take charge in Korea of prisoners refusing repa- triation, with one delegate on the commission each, 2. India will exclusively provide “sufficient armed forces” for the job and shall be chairman and um- pire of the commission. The other four powers shall be allowed staff assistants not to exceed 50 each. 3. No threats of force shall be used against POWs to effect or prevent repatriation. 4. Prisoners who want to return home shall be allowed to do so ‘‘as soon as practicable” but in all cases, within 60 days. 5. For a period of 90 days, na- tions to which prisoners belong can send representatives to POW camps to “explain” repatriation matters. Representatives shall not exceed seven per 1,000 prisoners, and shall not be less than a total of five. 6. Explanations shall be conduct- Extension Of Excess Profits Tax Appears Likely-Humphrey WASHINGTON # — Secretary of the Treasury Humphrey said today chances are “very good’’ that Con- gress will extend the excess profits tax on business ‘for six months as President Eisenhower has asked. Humphrey’s apparent optimista was not widely shared on Capitol Hill, where it appeared that nothing short of strong personal interven- tion by the President would save him from a likely political defeat on the issue. Nearly three weeks have elapsed since the President asked for ex- tension of the levy, which he con- cedes is a bad. tax, but there has been no evident progress in the House Ways and Means Commit- ~ which continues hearings to- ay. Its chairman, Rep. Daniel Reed (R-NY), has insisted repeatedly his committee will not clear the extension. Administration lieuten- ants have voiced confidence the House and Senate will approve the extension if it comes up for debate, but they have done no more than hope the ways and means commit- tee will clear it. Tomorrow, Reed’s committee is scheduled to act on an extension of the Reciprocal Trade Act. The chairman agreed to call the ses- sion, he announced yesterday, only after receiving ‘‘airtight assurance of the White House, from the Senate and the House leadership that they will oppose any attempt which might be made to amend trade agreement legislation with an extension of the discriminatory and unfair excess profits tax.” The Reciprocal Trade Act, which gives the President authority to negotiate lower tariffs on foreign goods coming into the U. S. in re- turn for trade concessions to hte U. S., is due to expire Friday. The excess profits tax is sche- duled to die June 30, or three ig asking its extension, said the gov- ernment needs the 800 million dol- lars involved. Reed not only wants lit to expire on schedule, but to move up from Jan. 1 to July 1 a scheduled 10 per cent reduction in personal income taxes, Humphrey, in a copyrighted in- terview with the magazine u. S. News and World Report published today, said “I hope and think” Congress will adopt in full the Eisenhower tax program, which ealls for the personal income tax eut on Jan. 1. In addition, it calls for indefinite postponement of reductions in corp- oration income and excise (sales) taxes due to take effect next April ii. Eisenhower has said that in Jan- uary his administration will sub- mit to Congress a sweeping set of recommendations for overhauling the federal tax structare, and Humphrey has said that among the proposals being considered is a na- tional sales tax. “Recently,” Humphrey said to- day, overplayed everything that we have said or contemplated with re- spect to the sales tax. “The facts about the sales tax jare just these: It is exactly that I | have said—nothing is ruled out. We are going to have to raise a good deal of marey over a long period of time. I don't think we are going to wet back to the low budgets, the | really low bodgets, for a long j ‘ume.

Explaining representatives will be allowed to bring in necessary wireless communications. 8. Prisoners in the custody of |the commission who decide to re- turn home shall be repatriated af- ter a majority vote of the commis- sion decides the application validity. 9.

Then they will be given an opportunity to go to “neutral nations” if they choose. The move to a neutral na- tion who later decide to return to their fatherlands shall te assisted in that return by “authorities of the localities where they are.” 11. The repatriation commission and subordinate bodies shall oper- ate on the basis of majority vote. “So 1 think we might just as well make our plans to raise a substan- tial amount of money over an cx- tended period.”” Humphrey also declared: 1, New Treasury policies have just about stabilized the dollar af- ter “the greatest manipulation of fictitious money rates and credits that the world has ever seen. ex- tending over a very long period.” Humphrey said the Truman admi- nistration had encouraged inflation | and had reached a point where it was “next door to printing money.” 2.

He Teiterated, however, that he hopes to balance income and outgo at around 70 billion dollars a year by June 30, 1954. 4. He does not think the budget should be completely in balance before some tax cuts are allowed. ‘I think we have to take a gamble, that we can make some of the savings we think we can,” he said. 5. “I don’t think the government will stop at anything to prevent” | D N v Skipper e For Submarine Division H Cmdr. Raymond A. Moore, USN, of Bryan, Texas, has succeeded Cmdr. John H. Turaer, USN, of Brookline, Mass. as Commander Submarine Division 122, based here. Cmdr.

The vote was 54 to 29, Ratification of the pact, signed here June 30, 1952, has been the sole order of business before the house since May 7. American - flag vessels are said ot be losing U. S. foreign trade. the kind of depression the country suffered in 1932, “whatever is necessary must be done,” he said. 6, Attainment of a “suitably re- duced budget” will require restudv of government programs and methods because “I don’t think you can make any such reductions just by trimming fat.” 7. He hopes it will not be neces- sary next year to raise the legal debt limit of 275 billion dollars but, with the debt just about 10 billions below that now, “we are getting right on the edge and you can slip over that edge a little bit very easily.” QUANTITY RIGHTS RESERVED PRICES THRU WED.
