South Korean Foreign Minister Pyun Yung Tai dropped his threat of violence to free more than 22,- 000 unrepatriated prisoners of war while “new (Allied) arrange- ments” are tested. : Meanwhile, the Communists failed to answer a repatriation commission request for their views on what to do with the prisoners after Jan. 22, the date set by the armistice for freeing them as civilians. The U. N. replied earlier that tals are going to get your money’s worth out of this column.

Gen. Maxwell D. Taylor, 8th |Army commander, flew to Tokyo for conferences with Gen. John E. Hull, U.N. commander, An official spokesmen said the two generals were “smoothing out a number of prisoner details and tying upsome loose ends,” The spokesman added: “When you are dealing with dif- ferent countries and peoples there are always loose ends to be tied up.” Pyun threatened tuesday to in- \vade the Indian custodial troops in the Korean neutral zone. Taylor issued a cold, brief state- ment at Seoul Wednesday night that 8th Army troops were pledged ‘to protect Indian troops against an attack, Pyun had threatened to attack the Indians because of a roster check or headcount of anti-Com- tion to the release before a Ko-;munist prisoners, during which 1 POWs asked and were granted re- patriation to Red China. President Syngman Rhee met with Cabinet officers Thursday to consider the Taylor statement and afterwards Pyun said in an inter- jview: “We are now making new ar Tangements as a test and if the arrangements pass the test we do not have to use force against the Indians.” . The arrangements, he said, were between Rhee and Taylor.

Here is vastly more than could be done just by warming over what Buick had before. Here is something accomplished by going far beyond artful face-lifting. Here is that rarity of rarities—a completely new line of automobiles, ‘ But Buick didn’t stop with the bolder, fresher, swifter-lined beauty you see in raised and lengthened fender sweep—in the huge and back-swept expanse of windshield —in the lowered roofline—in the host more glamor features of exterior modernity. They upped all horsepowers to the highest in Buick history. . They engineered a new V8 for the SPECIAL —and in the process came up with new Power-Head Pistons that boost gasoline mileage in every engine. They brought to market a sparkling newe comer with a famous name, the Buick CENTURY —a car with phenomenal horse» power for its weight and price—a car with more pure thrill per dollar than any Buick ever built. And they did all this without change of the price structure which, for years, has made Buick the most popular car at its price in the world. We invite you to come in and inspect these great beauties, these great performers, these great buys.
