TUCKMAN PANMUNJOM (Staff officers Worked today on final details of a Korean armistice as hundreds of sands of South Koreans dem- astrated violently against the im- Bending truce that will leave their Gation divided. Even as Koreans surged wildly through the streets of Seoul, Allied and Communist teams met in the tiny truce hut at Panmunjom for ee insite ants increasing signs an armistice may be signed within the week, — Although an Allied spokesman gave no hint of what took place in and national assemblymen who at- tended the session reaffirmed their decision to ignore an armistice based on the May 25 U. N. pro- Posal, continue the war, and fight Indian troops if they land in Korea. The South Korean National As- sembly was to hear a recommen- dation that it declare war on In- dian troops if they come into Ko- rea to guard prisoners after an armistice, India, under the prisoner ex- change agreement signed Monday, will provide troops — probably about 5,000—to handle the POWs. Yoon Chi Yung, vice chairman ;0f the Assembly’s crisis commit- jtee, said he will offer the recom- mendation late Tuesday afternoon. Revision of the cease-fire line to follow the present battle line prob- ably was one matter discussed by ter over the prisoner exchange agreement. They said it failed to live up to the United Nations “‘fun- damental principle of human free- dom.” The agreement provides for the release of all prisoners who want to go home within 60 days after signing a truce. That would include some 13,000 Allied soldiers held by the Reds and 75,300 Allied-held North Koreans and Chinese who have said they want to go home Reluctant prisoners—14,200 Chi- nese and 32,180 North Koreans— would remain in custody of a five- nation commission for 90 days. Agents from Red China and North Korea would have an opportunity to explain their full freedom to re- turn home to lead a peaceful life.” After that period, prisoners still refusing repatriation would be turned over for 30 days to a politi- cal conference, which would try to settle their fate, Captives who still balk at return- ing home would then be freed as | civilians in South Korea and given jthe chance to go to a neutral | Dation, Legion To Plan For Installation Plans for the annual installation of officers will be completed at the regular meeting of Arthur Sawyer Post No. 28, American Legion, on Wednesday evening at the Post Home on Stock Island. A group of new members will be obligated. The Key West Guard of Honor will conduct a memorial service for Legionnaire Harry C. Lloyd, Sr. and Ren Williams, who recently died. The Key West Transit Company now runs a regular schedule to the Post Home. The Sigsbee Park bus makes the Post Home a sche- duled stop for the bus. o © ‘Vets In Training | WASHINGTON u—The Veterans | Administration reported today that the number of veterans receiving training under the Korean GI Bill reached 131,056 on April 30, That was more than double the , 60,000 enrolled on Jan. 1, and rep- TODAY'S STOCK MARKET NEW YORK (| — The stock market was mixed and quiet in | early dealings today.

Street near the site of Truman School, she recalled. That the 28-year old ace is a “real Conch” is evidenced by the fact that he is proud of his Key West birthright. Mrs. Demeritt said that when Fernandez was _inter- viewed over the radio with Senator George Smathers in Washington, he was asked where he was from, “T live in Miami but I was born in Key West - I’m a Conch,” was his reply.

In Seoul, meanwhile, crowds es- timated by some authorities as large as 500,000 stormed through the streets of the war-devastated South Korean capital. While the demonstrations raged, defiant South Korean President Syngman Rhee assembled with his generals behind closed doors. The meeting followed one with Gen. Maxwell Taylor, U. S. Eighth Army commander and the South Korean Cabinet. A spokesman said the Cabinet changed only slightly. Observers anticipated no serious delay in reaching agreement on a new cease-fire line. The big obstacle was swept aside Monday with the signing of the agreement providing for voluntary prisoner exchange, Still, the threat of continued South Korean warfare after a cease-fire agreement worried top U.N. officials, There was no indication what would happen if the ROK armies refuse to acknowledge a truce. All fighting is to halt 12 hours after the armistice is signed. Within 72 hours troops of both sides are to pull back to create a buffer zone 2%. miles wide.

With placards waving, the chant- ing crowds snake-danced through the streets. Some of the marchers were sullen. Many were weeping, semi-hysterical school girls. In the march toward the Eighth Army compound hundreds of men paraded behind a crowd of school | girls, using them as a shield in an attempt to break through the mili- tary police barrier. But the ruse did not work. A group of school girls broke past MP guards at Fifth Air Force headquarters and entered the com- pound, but adult demonstrators were stopped cold, authorities said, About 1,000 men and women chanted slogans around a big sign reading ‘“‘Don’t Let U.
