SERVING ATHENS AND NORTHEAST GEORGIA OVER A CENTURY,
r—IMPOSED BY U.S.————
WASHINGTON, June 2.—(AP)—The United States
today imposed a ban on travel by American citizens to
Communist Czechoslovakia, where Associated Press
Correspondent William Oatis has been under arrest for
six weeks.
State Department officials said the Oatis case was the
latest of a series of incidents involving Americans which
had made it clearly undesirable to permit travel to
Czechoslovakia,
The Department issued this announcement:
“Because of conditions now existing in Czechoslova
kia the Department of State has decided that, until fur
ther notice, American passports of private travelers are
no longer valid to proceed to that country.
“Passports issued or renewed in the United States or
any United States Foreign Service Office will be stamp
ed ‘Not valid for travel in Czechoslovakia.” Those not so
stamped should not, however, be considered as valid for
Czechoslovakia unless they have been - presented for
approval of special travel.”
Similar bans have been imposed in the past to travel to
other Communist countries, notably Yugoslavia (be
cause of trouble over Yugoslav-Americans) and Hun
gary (because of the Vogeler case). in both cases those
bans have been lifted so that the only travel prohibi
tion now, officials said, is that on Czechoslovakia.
AP Correspondent Oatis, 37, went to Prague to take
up an assignment in June, 1950, He was arrested April
23 of this year on the officially announced charge thas
he engaged in activities hostile to the Czech state. He
was accused of gathering and circulating malicoous in
formation through illegal news organs.
U. S. Embassy authorities have been unable to see
him, despite repeated efforts to do so.

Read D aily Ey $5,000 People In Athens Trade Area
By DON HUTH
TOKYO, Sunday, June 3—(AP).
The United Nations *“pursuit”
.in Korea ended Saturday with.
.the. Communists. driven. from.
.nearly all South Korea and the.
.Allies still chipping at a harden
ing core of resistance.
Lt. Gen. James A. Van Fleet,
United Nations commander, an
nounced the end of the Allied
“all-out offensive.” U. N, Secre
tary General Trygve Lie 24 hours
earlier called upon the Communists
to say whether they would agree
to a ceasefire near the 38th
parallel,
WASHINGTON, June 2—
AP)—Secretary of State Ache
son hinted strongly today the
United States is willing to halt
the fighting in Korea at parallel
3§ if there can be assurances of
no further Red aggression.
He told senators this govern
ment might agree to a “real set
tlement that would accomplish
the military purposes in Ko
rea.”
‘Whether the two announcements
were related, however, was strict
ly a guess. Resonsible sources at
Eighth Army headqgarters would
not comment. A new and more
stringent censorship was imposed
on war news, ¥
.(In Washington Secretary of
State Acheson told a Senate hear
ing he knew of no present negotia
tions for peace in Korea or of any
proposals advanced by Red China.
Diplomatic informants there said,
however, the British embassy had
been told to take up with the State
Department the question of re
viewing the siutation in an at
tempt to find a way of ending the
conflict.) -
Gains Rugged
. Allied gains along the rugged,
125-mile front just inside Red
North Korea were limited. Resis~
tance was fierce.
Larger Red concentrations were
building up behind the front. The
Chinese and Korean Reds moved
into ridgeline defenses in their
vital Chorwon-Kumhwa-Uyong
gang assembly area in central Ko~
rea.
Allied advances appeared aimed
at grasping the best possible Ter
rain in Korea’s lacework of
mountains and valleys in prepara
tion for any new Chinese offen
sive. Two Red spring offensives—
in April and May—were hurled
back with heavy Red losses.
Lie Warring |
Lie warned at Ottawa Friday
that if the fighting continues the
United Nations would be expected
to throw in additional forces and
battle with all the strength they
can safely commit in Korea.
(In London, informed officials
said Britain is seeking a chance to
end the Korean war and arrange
talks of a general settlement in
the Orient. They said Foreign
Secretary Herbert Morrison and
other British leaders believe the
psychological moment for a posi
tive peace move is nearer now
than it has been for a long time.
(Those sources added that
Britain has been wurging United
Nations with forces in Korea to
be ready to act quickly when such
a move is made
