Jagan accused the governor of the colony, Sir Alfred Savage, of calling for the troops without con-' sulting iis elected ministers. “The responsibility for whatever may happen is entirely that of the governor and those who have ad- vised him,” the fiery leader of the a Progressive party (PPP) told the colony’s House of Assem- ever, Jagan denied that the party was plotting against the es- tablished rule. “No action on the’ part of the majority party,” he asserted, “has indicated it intends to get its just demands by other than constitutional means.” The Prime Minister failed in an discussion on a decision of the Brit- ish government. ‘The government took extra pre- eautions against disorders last might as authorities veiled the re- ported troop disembarkation be- hind a tight curtain of secrecy.

Clark Says SAN FRANCISCO ®—Gen. Mark Clark, Allied signer of the armi- stice, foresees no more shooting in Korea but continued tension in the Far East. Preparing to.end his 40-year mil- itary career—and possibly to ac- cept a university presidency—the retiring U. N. Far East command- er told newsmen on his arrival from Tokyo yesterday: “Personally, I do not think a shooting war will start again in ‘Korea. But I’m not too optimistic that the armistice will bring peace land stabiilty to the Far East. “It’s up to the Communists—if they want peace, they'll get it... anyone who starts the fight again will bring the weight of the whole free world down on their heads.” The lanky, 57-year-old general and his wife, Maurine, will spend five or six days here before going to Washington waere Clark will be retired Oct. 31. The four-star general responded amiably to newsmcn’s questions: “Politics? I have nw political as- pirations whatsveve: ., , nen berries some interest- fers wi I’m not at liberty to discuss. I would hike very much to go into education.” Ben Swig, president of the Fair- i] mont hotel and an old friend, said Clark had been contacted about two university presidencies, Clark said he’s assembling ma-| terial for a book on his impres- sioys of Communists in Europe FAMILY OFFICE * ESPERANCE, N.

Meanwhile, another Indian letter rejected the Allied charge that the commission was operating on the theory that most of the prisoners “actually desire repatriation.” The Indian chairman of the five- nation commission, Lt. Gen. K. S. Thimayya, ¢aid the commission ‘made no such assumption.” Thimayya also rejected a Com- munist charge that the captives have not been allowed “to express their free will.” Thimayya said, in @- letter reply- ‘ing to one from the former U, N. commander, Gen. Mark Clark, that the commission had kept an “open mind” and is determined to gain for the prisoners “complete freedom of choice without duress or coercion.” He also noted that the 117 cap- tives who have already changed their minds indicate that not all of| the 22,600 Red POWs want to re- fuse repatriation. He said none of the prisoners in ithe camp “dared openly” to ask for repatriation for fear of repris- als from other captives. An Allied spokesman said there would be no immediate comment from the UNC on either of the ‘Indian letters.
