SOUTH KOREANS CARRY ON THEIR 4TH DAY OF DEM Rhee Gives No Sign Of Changing Stiff Opposition To Ceasefire Plan By ROBERT B TUCKMAN SEOUL (®—South Koreans chant- ed, marched and wept through heir fourth straight day of anti- fuce demonstrations today as Al- lied and Red staff officers worked im secret on the last details of an armistice that appears almost a sertainty. The stubborn South Korean na- tlon—and its unbendyng President, Syngman »Rhee—gave no outward sign of changing, the violent oppo- sition to a ceasefire that would leave the battered peninsula divid- ed politically. However, a truce appears only & matter of days away—the time it takes the staff officers to finish the final document in morning and afternoon sessions at Panmunjom, The U. N. Command apparently is proceeding undaunted with its armistice plans in the belief that South Korea won't make good its threat to reject the truce and fight the Reds alone. Two staff officer groups from each side have been meeting at Panmunjom since the historic prisoner of war exchange agree- ment was signed Monday. One group believed to be draw- ing a final line to separate the forces in a truce, met late Friday afternoon after its morning session. The other group, believed writing details of an over-all prisoner ex- change, recessed until 11 a. m. Saturday (9 p. m. Friday EST). There still appeared to be a few days of work before the lower-level officers would call the top nego- tiators back to approve it. Three of the four American delegates were away from the Munsan base camp—two in Tokyo and one visit- ing a frontline division. As the staff officers worked on, South Koreans marched noisily in Seoul and sat down in Pusan to protest the impending truce, Four hundred men paraded in front of Allied correspondents’ billets in Seoul, pushing past a single line of metropolitan police to ‘the gates of the compound, where they chanted “Go north! Go north!” And Seoul school girls paraded in several demonstrations, chant- ing “Give us unification” and * “March north!” About 400 girls visited the cor- respondents’ billets where they sang, shouted slogans and: broke into loud erying on signal from their leaders. The marching girls passed out leaflets to Allied soldiers’ which read: “We are dead agains‘ any truce without unifichtion. Give us unifi- cation or death. Do not hand us over to the Communists. Set anti- Communist prisoners of war free.” In Pusan, shots were fired in the air in front of a U. S. Army En- gineers ‘unit near the British le- gation compound, but no one was injured and their origin was not known, the U. S. Army Provost Marshal's office said. In front of the American Em- bassy in Pusan, a sitdown and hunger strike by about 30 crippled and wounded South Korean veter- oo Friday. veterans—including ampu- tees in wheelchairs—began the demonstration Thursday night and insisted it would continue until they receive answers to messages given embassy officials for deliv- ery to President Eisenhower. Con- tents of the méssages were not made public. President Rhee returned to Seoul after a trip to a southern airfield where he presented the Ist Marine Air Wing with a second South Korean presidential unit ci- tion. tation. He spoke briefly, praising the Marine fliers for “fighting side by side with us in defense against ie 10 common enemy,” but made mention of the truce situation. While there, he met with the chairman - designate of the U. S.| Joint Chiefs of Staff, Adm, Arthur Radford; U. S$, Ambassador to Ko- rea Ellis 0, Briggs; former U. S. Ambassador to Russia William Bul- litt; Vice Adm. Robert Briscoe, commander of Far East naval forces, and Vice Adm. J. J. Clark, U.S. Seventh Fleet commander.

Spark- man (D-Ala) said today aid to the nation’s farmers is “noticeably missing” among accomplishments President Eisenhower is claiming for the GOP on a current speaking tour. Sparkman, the 1952 Democratic vice presidential nominee, said in an interview ‘he hopes for the good of the country that Eisenhower has a successful four years in office. “But I wish the President were in a position to include: something for the farmers in the accomplish- ments he is claiming for his ad- ministration,” the Alabama sena- tor said. 4 “That is noticeably missing at a time when the farm economy is depressed and the farmers need help.” In a series of speeches in North and South Dakota yesterday, Eisen- hower claimed his administration had made a good beginning toward 10 specified goals, ranging from action to strengthen the free world to steps aimed at “equal civil rights to all our citizens.” Eisenhower did claim that cattle prices show signs of stabilizing and that a higher price hed been nego- tiated in the international wheat agreement. And he said his admin- istration is seeking to work out a program to assure farmers “a good, stable income . . . without regimenting the farm families of America.” Sparkman contended that most of Eisenhower's points represented only a continuation of what already was under way during the previous Democratic administration. The Alabama senator challenged the President's coniention that the new administration had “reviewed and revised military defense plans to meet realistically the needs of our times.” “The only change has been a projected cutback in defense funds at a time when we need to con- tinue building up the strength of the free world in the same manner as we have been doing for the last three years,” Sparkman said. While Sparkman was willing to} cite chapter and verse in stating the Democratic viewpoint, other influential Democrats didn’t want }to comment on the President’s Some indicated they dcidn’t want ‘to tangle with Eisechower at this time. Ira Silberman Is Recipient Of Important Award Now that the spotlight is off the graduating seniors at Key West High School, it is time to recognize an important award to a junior. In the senior investiture assembly May 29, Ira Silberman received the newly established Harvard Alumni Club award. The award, which is being pre- sented in Key West for the first IRA SILBERMAN time this year, is the gift of Julius Stone, local alumnus affiliated with the Miami Harvard alumni organ- ization. It consists of a some leather-bound book, in the Harvard crimson, titled The Big Chance. Ira's outstanding leadership and service as president of the school’s student council this year won him the unanimous decision of the Jun- ior sponsors. In making the presen- tation, Principal E. 0. Schweitzer cited the student government's fine achievement record this year. Ira is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Sam Silberman of 519 Catherine Street, YOUTH IS NEEDED MIAMI (#—An appeal for youth- ful enthusiasm to meet the dan- gers of “an age of peril” was made by Rep. William C. Lantaff (D.-Fla.) in a commencement ad- dress Wednesday night, “This is an age where peace has become as abnormal as war used to be,” he told 82 members of the 1923 University of Miami graduating class. “Our task, therefore, and your task is to translate Democracy in- to a fighting ideology,” he said. Among those who received a law degree was Lt.

The White House, andthe State and Defense Departments, are considering the possibility that France may either: 1, Appeal to the U. S. to pay a} far bigger share, if not all, of the costs of the Indochina war, or 2. Suddenly decide to pull all French forces out of Indochina and dump the whole problem into the | lap of the U. S. Authorities who are examining these possibilities say they have no definite indication France in- tends to take either step. They are still hoping France will; choose a moderate premier who will continue the fight against com-| munism in Indochina with Ameri- | can assistance no larger than at! present. ; Eventually it may be possible; to evacuate the French Army and! hand the defense of all Indochina | to the loyal native army which is | to be increased by 54 battalions | this year. | But, these officials said, there | is no doubt the increasing unpopu- | larity of hte Indochina War in!

Indochina’s fall, it is feared, would open the way for quick Communist conquest of Burma, Thailand, Malaya, and Editor Retires WASHINGTON (#—K. C. Adams, colorful editor of the United Mine Workers’ Union “Journal,” retired today after 40 years with the un- ion. Adams, native of Holly Springs, Miss., has been a close friend and public relations advisers to John L. Lewis, the union’s president. For the past several years, Adams has been editing the union’s pub- lication form his home at Daytona Beach, Fla. “Casey,” as he is widely known in labor circles and among news- men, filled the journal with salty and often critical phrases. One of his favorites was “burrocrat” to describe a government official.
