Sen. William F. Knowland of California, a stern-minded, fog- horn-voiced advocate of get-tough- » | With-Russia policies in the Pacific, is one of the arriving young men of the Republican party.

McARTHUR MUNSAN (#—The draft of a Ko- Trean truce apparently was com- pleted today but its fate might turn on President Syngman Rhee’s open defiance of his allies in arbitrarily releasing 25,000 anti-Red prisoners of war. Rhee’s order opening the gates of four POW camps in this morn- ing’s darkness was in direct oppo- sition to the armistice terms. Even as the prisoners scattered, |it appeared that all details of an armistice agreement had been wrapped up and the final text was being rushed to completion. Preparations for exchanging thousands of wag prisoners were rushed by both sides. U. N. offi- cials speculated on whether Rhee’s action might delay the return of some 13,000 U. N. prisoners held by the Reds. Official U. N. sources in Tokyo said they did not expect Rhee’s move to wreck the armistice, but a delay was anticipated. The Reds might demand delivery of the es- caped prisoners before signing a truce. Staff officers who have been put- ting the finishing touches on the armistice wound -up ‘their sessions at 12:30 p. m. and translators went to work: immediately. They pre- sumably were putting the docu- ment into. English, Korean and Chinese. The staff officers recessed in- definitely. There was no announcement as to when the top-level negotiators would meet fo approve the text. Some observers said it was pos- sible the armistice agreement would have to be sent to Wash- ington and U. N. headquarters in New York for approval. This would take several days. Meanwhile, both sides acted as though a truce were still no more than a few days away. Communist work crews tore down mud huts in Panmunjom and began construction of what appeared to be a large perma- nent building. This may be the site’ of the ‘official’ signing and could serve as headquarters for the military armistice commission. U.N. officials, stepped up the job of clearing sites for exchanging prisoners and top officers who will serve on the military armistice commission. U.

The U, N.. advance camp here also was being enlarged. The senior Allied member of the proposed armistice commission, Maj. Gen, Blackshear M, Bryan, landed in Munsan after a flight from Tokyo, where he was com- mander of the U, S. 16th Corps. Bryan went into an immediate briefing session with the top U, N, negotiator, Lt. Gen, William K. Harrison. Air Force Maj. Gen. George G. Finch was expected later in the day to replace Brig. Gen, Edgar Glenn as a delegate on the U. N. truce team, Glenn is to retire next month, (MORE) TODAY'S STOCK MARKET NEW YORK # — The market turned mixed today Tr a slightly higher opening.

Tongay Hearing On Tot’s Death Set For Today MIAMI (#—Russell Tongay, bur- ly 39-year-old ex-Cuast Guardsman and swimming instructor, faces a combined inquest and preliminary hearing today on a second degree murder charge in the death last month of his swim-star daughter, Kathy. Justice of the Peace Edwin Lee Mason will determine whether the state has sufficient evidence to bring Tongay to trial. Mason himself issued the sec- ond degree murder warrant after an autopsy showed the tiny, blonde five-year-old Kathy died of a rup- tured intestine and complications on May 5. Miami police charged the death followed a beating but both Ton- gay and his wife, Betty, a school teacher, denied the charge. Ton- gay said Kathy may have injured herself in a dive from a 33-foot tower the day before she died. Kathy and her older brother, Bubba, 8, comprised a team of “Aquatots.” They appeared in movies and once planned to swim the English Channel but British and French authorities frowned on the project. Mr. and Mrs. Tongay and Bubba have been in seclusion’ since the death of Kathy but Tongay’s at- torney said he would appear for the hearing this afternoon, Truman Calls The Democratic Party ‘A Going Concern’ KANSAS CITY ‘®—Formez Pres- ident Harry S. Truman said the “Democratic party is, and always has been, a going concern,” and expressed once more his intention to work in the party's ranks “if they let me,” Truman’s remarks were made to reporters summoned to _ his Kansas City office for what he described as “just about the: first political statement I've. made” since leaving the White House, The statement was made public yester- day. AAT The former Chief Executive sald the record of the past four months has demonstrated that the ‘‘Répub- lican party is the party of special interests.” Truman made it plain he looks to Adlai Stevenson, the Democratic nominee in the Jast election, as leader of the party. As to himself, he said, “I have no special privileges (in the Demo- cratic party) because I was Pres- ident of the United States.” Russian Wives Of Americans May Leave For U.S, MOSCOW, W—The Soviet Union has told U, S. Ambassador Charles E. Bohlen that it will let four more Russian wives of Americans living in Moscow leave Russia for the United States, Soviet Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov informed Bohlen exit visas would be issued to the wives of Thomas P. Whitney, a correspon. dent for the Associated Press; Henry Shapiro, Untied Press cor- respondent; Andrew Steiger, Reut- ers correspondent; end George At- kins, buildings mznager of the American embassy here. The embassy announced last week the Soviets bad agreed to permit two other Russian wives of Americans and the two children of an American-born divorced wife fof a Soviet citizen to leave for the U.

Douglas’ grant of a stay of exe- cution touched off a rapid sequence | of events yesterday. | The Justice Department moved for a reversal, “as expeditiously as | possible” but without ‘unseemly | haste,” of what Atty. Gen. Brown- ell termed an ‘‘unprecedented” action by the justice. Vinson, within six hours after Douglas’ decision was announced, called the justices back from the recess they had started Monday. He said attorneys for the govern- ment and the Rosenbergs could argue the case in open court. Rep, Wheeler (D-Ga) moved in the House to have Douglas im-| peached for “high crimes and mis- : demeanors” which he did not spec- ify. His announcement that he would do so drew applause in the House. In New York, the ‘Committee to Secure Justice in the Rosenberg Case” announced it would send two trainloads of people te the! | move and to uphold Douglas. The unofficial legal consensus was that if the justices who as- sembled today should overturn Douglas’ decision, the effect would be as if nothing had happened since Monday, when the court refused for a fourth time to review the case. It was thought possible that, if! that was the court’s decision, the | execution might go on tonight as scheduled, Judge Irving R. Kaufman of New| York had fixed the execution for the current week, and his mandate could be carried out by officials of the prison at Ossining, N. Y., rad time before midnight Satur- ay. * Should no decision be forthcom- ing this week, and if the eventual decision should go against the Rosenbergs, a new. date would have to be set by Judge Kaufman. A 24-hour police guard was thrown around the New York apartment building where Judge Kaufman lives because, police said, a second threat had been received that the place would be} bombed. The judge and his family, however, were reported not to be at home, Still a factor was the petition urging President Eisenhower to commute the death sentence to life | imprisonment.
