TENSION RISES TODAY IN S. KOREAN CAPITAL Students Join In Anti-Armistice Demonstration By WILLIAM C, BARNARD ., SEOUL (#—At least 2,000 young students shouting “Yankee go home!” and other slogans paraded through the streets of Seoul today in the second day cf angry dem- onstrations against an impending armistice, The new demonstrations erupted as aging President Syngman Rhee announced through a spokesman @at he will not leave Korea “‘at this time of grave situations” to carry a personal protest to Wash- Gen. Paik Sun Yup, chief of staff of the South Korean Army, ar- rived here by plane from the U.S. today to take command of the na- tion’s 16 American - trained divisions. And South Korea’s draft bureau erdered all Korean men between 19 and 25 to be ready for call as threats to fight on alone if a truce leaves Korea divided. Men between 17 and 19 and be- tween 25 and 40 were ordered to report their whereabouts and any change in draft status. Staff officers were working at Panmunjom on final details of a truce which could be signed this week. South Korea already has branded the armistice a “death sentence” and “‘sellout.” Tension in this war-torn land mounted as students paraded through the streets in new govern- ment - sponsored anti -. armistice demonstrations, “We oppose armistice” and “We will march north,” the stu- dents shouted. But the cry of “Yankee go home” also echoed through the streets—the first time the familiar chant of Japanese Communists has been heard here, A correspondent asked one of the Koreans: “Are you angry at America?” “No,” the boy replied. “I am sorry for this meeting.” Most of the mar¢hers ranged in age from 12 to 19 and were di- rected by a green-clad “operations officer” of the Seoul metropolitan * police. One group of about 500 boys tried to brush aside military guards outside the Allied news cor- respondents billets but were turned back. About 600 young men re- turned late in the afternoon, chant- ing slogans under the direction of trained cheer leaders. A throng of about 1,500 students marched around the Chosen Hotel, where U. N. officers are quar- tered, chanting anti-armistice slo- gans and shouting “Yankee go home.” Rumor spread through this capi- tal that president Rhee would visit the U, S. to protest personally to President Eisenhower after the * vice chairman of the National As- sembly, Yoon Chi Yung, said he had suggested the trip to Rhee. Jim Robinson, NBC correspond- to the President” told him only Rhee's health would keep him from a flying trip to the U. S. The fiery old President's secre- tary, Chang Ki Bon, smiled broad- ly when asked about Rhee’s health and replied: “If the President desired to fly to America, he could do so easily as far as his health is concerned. He is very fit and in fine health, But he will not go to the United States.” “CROSSED-UP MISHAP ROANOKE, Va.

STRUNK LUMBER YARD 120 SIMONTON STREET 4] Childrens | UN Officials Hope For Last Minute Change Calculated Risk Is Admitted In Pursuing Truce Negotiations By ROBERT EUNSON TOKYO ®—Top U. N. officials are operating on the theory that at the last minute South Korea’s President Syngman Rhee will agree to terms of a Korean truce. But they admit they are taking a calculated risk. There have been no threats, no Promises and no pieading with the fiery old leader, who is threaten- ing to wreck a Korean armistice. “The UNC believes Rhee will drive the buggy to the edge of the cliff, but never whip the horses a step further,” one source said. “That is the risk we have to take. It’s a calculated risk and we calculate Rhee wil agree when the time comes.” News that Switzerland had re- fused to serve on the neutral na- tion commission for the exchange of prisoners of war unless South Korea was satisfied with the terms will only help bring the ROK gov- ernment into line, it is predicted. Gen. Mark Clark and his advis- ers were said to believe this is the only way to look at the Rhee situa- tion because all but one of his de- mands have been complied with. Rhee has said his+ government would not respect a- Korean truce so long as the country was not uni- fied and so long as one Chinese Communist soldier remained in Korea. “On to the Yalu!” Rhee slogans cried. As for the first specification, the UNC is already committed to with- draw its troops from Korea and so are the Chinese, as soon as de- tails for the withdrawal are set- tled at a peace conference. But the U. N. Command never can agree to march on to the Yalu and unify. Korea by force, any- more than it couid agree to unify Germany or Austria by force. Free elections are one of the principles of democracy on which the Korean War was fought. The UNC position is still to unify Ko- rea by election, 3 “If the Communists should win such an election, well then they won, that’s all,” the source said. “But we could not agree to setting up the Rhee government in North Korea by force, anymore than we could agree to letting the Com- munists invade South Korea by force.” When the time comes, people who should know believe Rhee will agree, See’y Wilson Says AF Cutbacks Were Planned By Demos { WASHINGTON, (®—Secretary of | Defense Wilson declared that the| Truman administration abandoned | its announced goal of 143 wings for the Air Force by 1955 but was not honest enough fo tell the Amer- ican people about it. Defending his slash of five bil- i from the Truman ad- 's proposed Air Force budget, Wilson said the Air Force had “an impossible program” and the previous administration knew ! it in January. He said the 143-wing goal was | “given up” then but “no one was | — and told the American peo- ple.” | Wilson's statement to a Senate | Appropriations Sub - committee, } brought an interjection from Sen. | | Hill (D-Ala) that what the Truman administration had done was to! “stretch it (the program) out.” | “What's the difference?” Wilson | snapped, Wilson's spending plans contem- | plate an Air Force of 120 wings | by the end of 1955. | Hillsborough, Eisenhower To Speak Today In Minnesota International Situation Is Speech Topic By MARVIN L. ARROWSMITH WASHINGTON (® — President Eisenhower, keeping a close watch on Korean truce negotiations and the possible obstacles to a settle- ment, flies to Minneapolis for a} speech today on the international situation, The presidential plane Colum- bine was scheduled to take off from National Airport at 9:20 a. m., EST, on the first leg of a five-day trip taking Eisenhower into Min- nesota, North Dakota, South Da- | kota, New Hampshire and New York for five addresses. He also plans a day of golf and Perhaps some trout fishing in the South Dakota Black Hills area, Not An Atom Bomb where President Calvin Coolidge used to vacation. White House Press Secretary James C. Hagerty told newsmen Eisenhower’s first speech of the series, at the convention of the National Junior Chamber of Com- merce in the Minneapolis Auditor- ium, would be on the international situation, Arrangements were made for live radio broadcasts over the ABC and CBS radio networks at 3:30 p. m., EST, and NBC planned a recdrded broadcast at 9:30 p. m., EST. Hagerty declined to elaborate or to say whether the President would touch specifically on negotiations to end the three-year-old war in Ko- rea, and on developments threat- ening to jeopardize the settlement. Indicating Eisenhower might do so was a White House decision to defer advance distribution to news- men of the text of the President's Minneapolis speech. Distribution was put off until the time of Eisen hower’s departure from Washington to allow for last-minute revision, An aide who asked not to be named said the uncertainty of the Korean situation was the reason, The traveling President will be in almost constant touch, through White House communications facil- ities, with truce developments at Panmunjom. Hagerty said yesterday there was then no prospect that the delicacy of the Korean negotiations would interfere with the President’s trip west, then on to New England and New York. He returns Sunday night. After his Minneapolis speech, the President planned to fly on to Minot, N. D., and spend the night. Tomorrow morning he will travel by motor to Garrison Dam in North Dakota, where- he will speak at the dedication ceremonies, Then he flies to Rapid City, S. D., for an afternoon address at the conven- tion of the National Federation of Young Republicans, From there he will drive to the South Dakota game lodge at Custer State Park in the Black Hills, He will remain there overnight and devote Friday to golf and possibly some trout fishing before heading east again. (Cabinet Asks Hospital Site TALLAHASSEE —The Cabinet Tues, asked South Florida counties interested in providing a site for the new state mental hospital to make their offers. Cabinet members received a statement signed by 72 members of the House of Representatives listing 24 counties from which they asked that the hospital location be} selected. The lawmakers appropriated 5 million dollars for the new institu- tion. Counties listed as possible loca- tions are Indian River, St. Lucie, Martin, Okeechobee, Palm Beach, Pinellas, Collier, Glades, Sarasota, Manatee, Dade, Lee, Highlands, Osceola, Broward, | Brevard, Hardee, Polk, Charlotte, | PILLAR OF SMOKE sighted yesterday afternoon at the north end of the island turned out to be a debris fire on the dredged up island between the main channel and the northwest channel, Gulf side across from the Gulf Oil docks, A navy barge nearby was unharmed. However there were some casualties among seagulls. Scores of the frantic birds could be seen flying around and through the billowing oily black cloud just a few feet above the angry red flames. A few seemed to be overcome and flut- tered down to disappear in the dense smoke. Presumably the gulls have been nesting on the man- made island. An observation plane can be seen in the picture coming in at the right for a look at the fire. The plane skimmed right through the smoke a few minutes later. Late last night the smell of burning oil waste and rubbish was still detectable in the air. The spectacular smoke eruption drew ™ hundreds of curious onlookers to the scene.—Finch, Citizen Staff Photo. Armistice Is To Be Written In Final Form Negotiators Hand Last-Stage Job To Staff Officers By ROBERT B. TUCKMAN PANMUNJOM (# — United Na- tions and Communist truce nego- tiators—their work apparently all but finished—today handed staff of- ficers the job of putting a Korean armistice into final form, then re- cessed indefinitely. All signs still pointed to a cease- fire within the week, but. these developments clouded the picture: 1. Switzerland announced it would not serve on the five-nation prisoner repatriation commission unless South Korea approves the truce. . South Korean leaders reitera- ted bitter opposition and antl-ar- mistice demonstrations raged in Seoul for the second straight day. 3. A spokesman for Syngman Rhee dashed reports that the South Korean President will fly to Wash-+ ington to make a personal appeal! against the truce. Rhee, he said, | will not leave Korea “‘at this time| of grave situations.” | Deatils of what went on at to-| day’s plenary session at Panmun-/ jom were not disclosed, but the delegates presumably completed their work, After 23 minutes, they recessed at Communist request subject to call by either side. Lower level officers then as- sembled in the tiny truce hut and reportedly went to work on a re- view of the cease-fire line that will separate Allied and Red forces dur- ing a truce. They met for an hour and 36 minutes, then adjourned until | Thursday.

For the past six years, the tremendous de- mand for Miller High Life has for exceeded oduction facilities. Due to this consistently pare, demand, we were unable to build up an inventory that would tide us over this present situation. 2. Even if we had been able to stock up on Miller High Life, we wouldn't have done so be- cause we and the Miller Brewing Company want you to enjoy Miller High Life at the peak of its brewery-fresh, delicious goodness. 3. After all, it's only natural that a popular beer like Miller High Life should sell out first. We sincerely regret the temporary short- age of Miller High Life and our present inability to make deliveries for the time being. However, may we suggest that you continue to ask for Miller High Life by name. This truly fine beer is well worth asking for — well worth waiting for.
