By OLEN CLEMENTS
TOKYO, June 25 —(AP)— The
world talked of peace, but the
Korean war roared into its second
year today.
Chinese and North Korean Reds
were more aggressive all along the
100-mile battlefront.
Communist jets streaked out of
their Manchurian sanctuary on
another typical hit-and-run at
tack.
Allied warships continued to
pour a hail of steel into east coast
ports in North Korea.
The cease-fire and armistice
proposal' by Russia’s Jacob Malik
pad put no damper on the fight
ing.
Red ground forces showed more
fight than usual. But by late
afternoon there was still no sign
of their expected anniversary of
fensive.
Allied officers, noting an omi
| nus enemy buildup in the west,
had predicted a limited Commun
ist counterattack to celebrate the
war’s first birthday.
Jet Action
Thirty red-nosed MIG-15s dart
ed back and forth across the Yalu
river boundary of Manchuria
Monday. jockeying for position to
attack Fifth U. S. Air Force F-86
Sabre jets.
’ One of the Russian-made planes
was shot down in flames. The
Reds broke off the 10-minute
| battle and scurried back to safety
| in Manchuria.
It was the eighth day in the
last nine that jet battles have
swirled high over North Korea.
The Reds have lost 13 planes de
stroved and 29 damaged.
The Allies have lost 11 planes
in that period.
Allied and Communist infantry
clashed in a fierce bavonet battle
on the Western front Monday.
Northwest of Yonchon U. N, pa
trols tried to drive the Reds off
an important hill. The dug-in Reds
refused to budge under blistering
artillery and air attack.
The doughboys then smashed
through Red artillery, mortar, rifle
and machinegun fire and fought
the Communists hand - to - hand.
Late in the afternoon the Reds
still held most of the hill. S
Central Front
Northeast of Kuvmhwa on the
central front, U. N. troops failed
in repeated efforts to recapture a
key mountain height. But they
had the mountain surrounded and
the Red supply line cut.
Doughbovs captured the hill
Sunday. The Reds, bitterly de
fending the approaches to Kum
song, their newest defense bas
tion, counterattacked four hours
later. The Allies withdrew, but
called down artillery and air
strikes.
A company of Reds counterat
tacked Eighth Army patrols
northeast of Yanggu Monday,
forcing the Allies to withdraw.
The Reds Sunday drove Allied
troops off two important ridees
‘south of Pyonggang, the north
ern anex of the old Red “iron tri
:angle" assembly area.
‘ Red Probings
AP Correspondent Nate Polow
etzky reported from U. S. Eighth
Army headquarters that the Reds
threw small probing attacks al
most everywhere along the front.
Other front dispatches indicated
the Reds were bringing up their
big guns in the west. Air observ
ers spotted 16 field pieces seven
miles northwest of the attempted
ambush.
Allied warships poured hun
dreds of shells into enemy lines
near Kosang on the east coast.
They also kept up their blockade
and barrage operations against
Wonsan and Songjin, further
north.
Allied war planes damaged six
MIG-15s in two engagements
Sunday. One F-80 Shooting Star
was shot down by ground action.
Between battles Allied soldiers
and airmen discussed the peace
proposals made by Malik. The
general reaction was:
«T wish it were true, but I don't
believe it.”
Lt. Gen. James A. Van I’:leet,
Eighth Army commander, said it
was “business as usual.”

SERVING ATHENS AND NORTHEAST GEORGIA OVER A CENTURY,
To For Proof
\
0f Peace Feeler
| By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER
| WASHINGTON, June 25—(AP)
—The United States looked to
| Moscow and Peiping today for
| proof that Jacob Malik’s call ‘for
| a 38th-Parallel truce was a real
{ peace bid and not just another So
: viet propaganda play.
Pending definite evidence, State
Department ond other administra
tion officials appeared extremely
wary of the proposition which the
{ Kremlin’s envoy to the United Na
l tions put forth in a speech Satur
day.
I This country, however, declared
| its readiness to play its full share
' in ending the fighting if the propo
sal is sincere. And in order to nail
that point it seemed probable that
' U. S. Ambassador Alan Kirk at
' Moscow would be instructed
| shortly to ask the Kremlin what
| ceasefire conditions and other con
siderations were involved in Ma
| lik’s suggestion.
i Britain and France may partici
' pate in making such a sounding.
1 Other Nations
In the meantime, it was under
stod by authorities that such inter
mediary governments as India and
Sweden which have formal rela
tions with Red China—and better
contacts than the British there—
would lose no time in asking Peip
ing whether it shared Malik’s ex
pressed convictions that a truce is
now posible. : ¢
A positive answer counled with
an indication of acceptable condi
tions would undoubtedly mean
that the Communist high com
mand had given up its objective
of throwing U. N. troops out of
Korea and was ready—as the
United States has repeatedly said
it is readv—to negotiate peace.
The Walik propositoin, general
in nature, came at the tail end of
his public speech, the first part of
which blasted the United States
and reiterated Red Claims on For
mosa and Chitia’s U. N. member
ship. But those two points were
not coupled with the truce bid.
Following the release of the text
of Malik’s speech late Saturday
afternoon, these were the main
develonments: i =
1. The White House delayed for
24 hours, until late Sunday, dis
tribution of advance cooies of Pre
sident Truman’s speech at Tulla
homa, Tenn.. today. This gave rise
to the belief that the President was
reviewing his remarks.
Acheson
9. Secretary of State Acheson
permitted to stand unchanged a
Korean war anniversary statement
released last night but drafted be
fore Malik spoke. This statement
charged that the Korean war has
proved Communist peach wvrona
sanda to be false and said the free
world “Is not deceived by this.
Acheson said the Communits “talk
of neace and plan for war.”
3. The State Denartment issued
a statement on Saturday night
saying the U. S. is “ready to play
our part in bringing an end to hos
tilities and in assuring against
their resumption”—provided Ma
lik’s speech “more than propagan
da.”
4. Assictant Secretary of State
Dean Rusk, far Eastern policy
Chief, was at his desk Saturday
afternoon and again Sunday, and
directed a development of initial
American government reaction,

provides heavy penalties, includ

one impeding oil production.
A dozen tankers were jamming
the Abacaa port because Iranians
stopped their sailing with gasoline
and oil cargoes from the world’s
largest refinery there. The ships
belong to the AIOC.
Drake, meanwhile, warned that
millions of gallons backing up in
tg the plant’s limited oil storage
facilities might force a shutdown
of the installation which supplies
the lion’s share of oil for Europe’s
defense effort. Drake told the
Iranians:
«1f we are forced to shut down,
you must name responsible offi
cials to take over immediately a
dangerous situation—unless you
want to see Abadan go up _in
flames. -~

Urgent Cease - Fire Appeal
Broadcast To Reds By U. N.
Lie Requests Negofiations
Based On Russian Proposal
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y., June 25.— (AP) ~—United
Nations radio transmitters today beamed to Communist
China and North Korea an urgent appeal by U. N. Secre
tary-General Trygve Lie for Korean cease-fire negotia
tions based on a Russian proposal for a 38th parallel truce.
Top-ranking U. N. officials acted swiftly after Soviet
Delegate Jacob A, Malik proposed discussion among the
“belligerents” for a cease-fire, armistice and “mutual
withdrawal” from the parallel dividing North and South
Korea. But dilplomats at the U. N. and Western Foreign
Ministers displayed wariness, : i
Senafors Begin
Showdown Fight
On Price Curbs
WASHINGTON, June 25—(AP)
The Senate today beging its fight
toward a showdown in the contro
versy over legislation to extend
price, wage, rent and other con
trols, now due to expire Saturday
midnight.
The extension comes up for de
bate in the Senate amidst a swirl
of dispute about the effectiveness
of economic controls for combat
ting inflationary pressures touched
off by the Korean War a year ago.
President Truman declared
over the week-end that bills re
commended by House and Senate
committees fail to provide the
strengthened economic controls he
has urged.
In letters to Vice President
Barkley and House Speaker Ray
burn, Mr. Truman said he has
been “considerably distressed” by
some provisions in both the House
and Senate measures.
Easy Way
“Phese provisions take the easy
way—to relax controls and hope
for the best—which is extremely
dangerous,” he said.
The Senate took up the exten
sion bill recommended by its
banking committee with advance
warning that some night sessions
might be necessary this week.
The House is to start debate on
its bill on Wednesday.
Chairman Maybank (D.-S.C.)
said the Senate Banking Commit
tee had submitted “a good bill,”
and he expects it to win approval.
But there was bitter dissension
within the committee. Some mem
bers vowed to fight in the Senate
for strengthening amendments in
line with Mr. Truman’s recom
mendations.
In urging such changes, the
President said “all of us should
realize that we are in a hard,
tough fight with inflation in this
country—just as we are in a hard,
tough fight with aggression in Ko
rea. A relaxed, soft attitude is
an invitation to disaster.”
The Senate bill would extend
wage-price-rent controls for eight
months beyond June 30, while the
House measure calls for contin=
uing them another year. Mr, Tru~
man asked originally for a two
year extension.
Additional control powers re
quested by the President also have
been watered down considerably
by committees of both chambers.
Walter Reuther, president of the
CIO Auto Workers Union, predict
ed yesterday that this watering
down would cost the public $12,-
000,000,000 a year In price poosts.
Herschel D. Newsom, master of
the National Grange, on the other
hand, put in a bid for looser rules
than House and Senate commit
tees wrote on farm prices.

Athenians Seek
Relief From Heat
The weather was te chief topie
of conversation today as Athen
ians sought relief from the broil
ing heat that has been prevalent
throughout Georgia for the past
week.
Weather experts promise relief
for some sections of the state this
afternoon but warned that there
would be only scattered thunder-
storms.
Yesterday’s temperature soared
toward the hundred degree mark
as Georgians hurried toward
beaches and pools all over the
state. Savannah reported a 96
high for the day and record crowds
milling the beaches in search of
stray salt breezes. .
Other high mercury readings |
were Albany, with a torid 100 de
grees, and Valdosta with a wilting
99. The high reading at the Athens
airport for yesterday was 96 but
many citizens who perspired |
through the afternoon will prob
ably argue for a much higher tem
perature.
Tonight the Riverside and Le
gion pools will remain open right
through supper time and into the
evening in an effort to help the
local citizens “beat the heat.”
From the forecast by the Weath
er Bureau which warned of “high
ninetie? _all day” Athenians will
need ail the help they can get.
Malik’s proposal came on the
‘gve of the Korean war’s first an
niversary, Lie quickly issued a
statement urging immediate
negotiations for a cease-fire to be
followed by United Nations dis
cussion of the political issues in
volved,
UN Presdent
The president of the U. N, As
sembly, Nasrollah Entezam of
Iran, planned to ask Malik at once
to expand on his proposal—the on=
ly U. N. delegate to indicate so
far a direct approach to the Sc
viet representative. Efitezam 1s
head of the U. N. good offices
committee which has been trying
without success since February to
get an answer from Red China.
He arranged an immediate return
to New York from Washington.
Peiping radio broadcast Malik’s
peace proposal in the Korean
language without comment. The
broadcast was monitored by a
South Korean news agency. Until
then Red China propaganda broad
casts were made up of the usual
anti-American statements urging
“utter defeat” of U. S. forces in
Korea.
Malik’s proposal, the first from
the Communist side which did not
impose truce conditions favorable
to the Chinese Communists, made
headlines throughout the world,
Western leaders said they hoped
the proposal was genuine. Mos
cow’s two official newspapers
printed the Malik text without
comment, but this emphasized it's
Kremlin origin.
In Washington, the U. & planned
talks with its U, N. Allies to dis=~
cuss a common front. It indicated
that unless Red China approved
the Malik proposal, the move
doesn’t count for much.
- In Hong Kong |
In Hong Kong, far east ob
servers who watch the China scene
from the island said they felt cer
tain Malik could speak for Peip
ing in suggesting a ceast-fire.
Some Chinese there expressed be=-
lief the Soviet delegate was mak=
ing propaganda, but the majority
said it looked like the begininng of
efforts by Peiping to pull itself out
of the Korean morass, where the
strain may have become more
than Red China now is willing to
endure,
The Chinese Nationalist Pre
mier, Chen Cheng, on Formosa,
warned in a war anniversay
statement against compromise in
Korea or indirect recognition of
what he called the enemy’s ill
gotten gains.
Either of these things, he said,
would mean the United Nations
troops killed in Korea had died in
vain and that “we will be as far
from peace as when we accepted
the aggressors’ challenge one year
ago.u
India Support
India announced she would sup
port any cease-fire move.
Indian officials in New Delhi
said they hoped “something sub
stantial” would result from the
Russian proposal. They said they
had not yet received any request
to transmit peace proposal to Red
China through the Indian embassy
in Peiping.
An Indonesian Foreign Office
spokesman in Jakarta commented
that Idonesia ‘“welcomes any pro
posal, if genuine—irrespective of
sponsor-—-wtllxlicthould lead'to the
ending of the Korean war.”
In “?ellington, fiew éez!and,
Minister of External Affairs Fred=~

Aids Soviet, Says HSIT
ids Joviet, Jdays
BY ERNEST B. VACCARO
TULLAHOMA, Tenn., June 25. — (AP) +~ President
Truman said today the United States is ready to join in a
“real settlement’’ of the Korean war ‘“which fully ende the
aggression and restores peace and security.”
While Mr. Truman did not so label it, that was obviously
his reply to the proposal by Jacob A. Malik, Russian dele
gate to the United Nations, for a cease-fire and withdrawal
of troops from the area of the 88th parallel.
Mr. Truman, on this first anni
versary of the Communist attack
on South Korea, said the Reds
suffered 1,000,000 casualties and
have been thrown back ‘“behind
the line they started from.”
The President, in a major for
eign policy speech, blistered Re
publican ecrities for “spreading
fear and slander and lies” and
trying to “destroy” Dean Acheson,
whom he called “one of the great
est secretaries of state in our his
tory.” 3 i |
Guarded Language
In guarded language, which did
not mention Malik or his proposal
specifically, the President told a
crowd gathered to dedicate a new
$157,500,000 Air Force testing cen=
ter:
“We are ready to join in & peace
settlement in Korea now as we
have always been. But it must be
a real settlement which fully ends
the aggression and restores peace
and security to the area and to the
gallant Korean people,
“In Korea and in the rest of
the world we must be ready to
take any steps which truly ad
vance us toward world peace. But
we must avoid like the plague rash
actions which would take wunnec
essary risks of world war or weak
actions which reward aggression.”
The President flew here from
Washington to the Arnold Air
Force engineering development
center, to be devoted to the de
velopment of jet propulsion and
supersonic flight power,
Denunciations
His talk fairly bristled with de-~
nunciations of Republican sup
porters of Gen, Douglas MacAr=
thur's Korean policy and critics of
Acheson, Secretary of Defense
Marshall, Gen. Omar Bradley and
the Joint Chiefs of Staff. T
Mr. Truman ousted MacArthur
for publicly advocating a broaden
ed war against the Chinese Com
munists. MacArthur said his pro
gram wouldn’t necessarily bring
in Russia. MacArthur said if the
other United Nations would not
join in, this country should *go
it alone.” g
Without naming MacArthur, Mr,
Truman said of those who would
“take a chance” that the Soviet
Union won’t fight in the far east:
“They want us to play Russian
roulette with the foreign policy of
the United States—and with all
ttée,ohambers of the pistols load
ed.
He continuedr = ' -
“Unfortunately, it isn’'t only the
Kremlin that has been trying to
separate us from our Allies,
“There are some people in this
country, tco, who have been try=
ing to get us to ‘go it alone.’ There
are people here who have been
sowing distrust of our Allies and
x;xagnitying our differences with
them,
