DI SALLE BRIEFS ARNALL—EIIIis Arnall (right) gets
a fill-in from the man he’s scheduled to succeed as price
stabilizer, Michael V. DiSalle, in his office in Washing
ton. Earlier in the day the Senate Banking Committee
gave Arnall, former governor of Georgia, a unanimous
vote of confidence. DiSalle is leaving the price post to
run for the Democratic senatorial nomination in Ohio.

Retiring OPA Leader
Honored In Capitol
BY WILLIAM O. VARN
WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.— (AP)—Michael V. DiSalle,
the little fat man from Toledo, today neared the end of 14
months’ service as the nation’s price boss with a farewell
pat on the back from President Truman for a good job done
by “a wonderful guy.” ‘
Further, the President told DiSalle, “I hope you will
succeed in helping the Democrats to retire a distinguished
senator’”’ in Ohio this fall.
Truman referred to Senator
John W. Bricker (R.-Ohio), whom
DiSalle hopes to unseat. The for
mer Toledo mayor quits the price
post tomorrow to go home to
Ohio to begin his campaign for
the Democratic senatorial nomina
tion. If he wins that, he’ll oppose
Bricker in November.
The President spoke briefly in a
surprise appearance at a testimo
nial dinner given for DiSalle by
about 900 persons. - %
Truman said DiSalle did “some
thing that is very difficult here in
Washington—he took the Congress
into camp, and I can’'t do that
myself, Mike has been able to get
things out of those ‘birds’ that I
can't even start to get.”
Tough Job
The President said DiSalle had
been told when he took the job of
Director of the Office of Price
Stabilization that he ‘“could ex
pect to go back to Ohio scalped,
skinned, drawn and quartered.
But Mike fooled them. I think he
has made a wonderful public ser
vant.”
He added that DiSalle’s efforts
had made the price post “a bed of
roses” for Ellis Arnall, ex-gover
nor of Georfgia, who is awaiting
Senate confirmation to become the
new OPS chief — probably next
week. Arnall attended the dinner
and was introduced.
Turning to world affairs, the
President said “we are faced with
the situation which, if we do not
meet it, can bring us into terrible
disaster, My only objective, and
my only hope, as President of the
United States, is peace in the
world.” &
“We Can Win Peace”
He said that if the people will
get behind his program “we can
win this peace.” He said the pro
gram “is being carried out on a
bi-partisan basis. The objective at
which we aim is simply peace in
the world.
“I don’t want to be in a position
of having to cause the destruction
of whole populations. I don’t want
to be in the position of having to
send our young men into an all
out war to be slaughtered. I want
the people of the U. S. to realize
that if they will meet this emer
gency as they should meet it we
won’t have to do that.”
Truman left after his speech.
Winding up the dinner program,
DiSalle said he was sorry the
President couldn’t stay.
“I wanted to tell him my secret
for getting along with Congress,”
DiSalle wisecracked. “You see,
very few members of Congress
are running for stabilizer.”
Present Plaque
‘The guests presented DiSalle
with a plaque paying tribute to
his service and with a combination
radio - television - phonograph
set.
Presiding at the dinner was
Paul Porter, who once headed the
war-time Office of Price Admin
istration. Three cabinet members,
Chairman Spence (D.-Ky.) of the
Houes Banking Committee, and
all of the top mobilization offi
cials were honor guests, Several
spoke praising DiSalle.

At Allied Lines
SEOUL, Korea, Feb. 14 — (AP)

Final Homage To Dead Monarch

boarded up the windows along its mnarrow main street
against the expected crowds.
Twenty-five thousand Britons patiently lined up in
cold and slush outside Westminster Hall to pass In homage
before the flag-draped, jewel-topped coffin.
The older hrother reportedly asked his queen-niece
for permission to stand honor guard beside the body of the
man who filled the throne he gave away.,
Thus Britain today made final

It was the last of three days’ ly

Commies Present
BY OLEN CLEMENTS
MUNSAN, Korea, Feb. 14.— (AP) —Communist truce
negotiators presented a new prisoner exchange plan today
incorporating some Allied ideas but clinging to their own
demand for forced repatriation.
The Allies repeatedly have said they won’t turn a single
prisoner back to the Reds against his will.
The Communists have another new plan, It was drafted
for the final clause of a Korean armistice. It will be un
veiled Saturday before a full dress session of truce negotia
tors. The meeting was set for 10 a. m, (8 p. m., Friday,
BST).
Ori'ginally the Communists sug
gested a three-point recommenda~
tion for a high-level post-armis
tice conference: (1) Withdrawal of
all foreign troops from Korea; (2)
Settlement of the Korean peace,
and (3) settlement of other Asian
problems related to the Korean
question.
The U. N. agreed In principle to
the first two, but balked at dis
cussing problems other than those
directly connected with the Ko~
rean war.
Red Offer
The Reds offered to submit a
new proposal. Thursday they said
it was ready. The Saturday meet
ing was set when Allied spokes
men said the U. N. delegation
would be unable to meet earler.
Col. George Hickman said he
had not had time to read carefully
the nine point Red prisoner ex
change plan, but on several points
the Communists had “come to our
own point of view.”
While holding out against vol
untary repatriation the Commu-~
nists did agree to let Red Cross
teams operate in prisoner of war
camps after an armistice is signed.
Staff officers discussing truce
supervision made little progress.
;\fi U ?&tfl spokesman i:;id some
non differences were ironed out.
- @el, Don Darrow said. an agree
ment was reached on the five
islands below parallel 38 off West=
ern Korea the Allies will hold
after an armistice, U. N. troops
will be withdrawn from all other
coastal islands.
Troop Rotation
Neither side had anything new
to offer on troop rotation or ports
of entry. The fl N. held out for
the rotation of 40,000 men a
month and inspection at seven
ports of entry on either side. The
Comriunists want a rotation ceil
ing of 30,000 men and inspection
at four ports of entry.
“I got the impression they (the
Reds) were holding out to see if
we had something new or they
just weren’t interested in making
any progress,” Darrow said.
In Pusan, the Republic of Korea
National Assembly Thursday
adopted unanimously a resolution
urging the U. N. command to hold
out for the repatriation of South
Korean civilians now held in
North Korea.
The resolution also called for
the release of South Koreans held
in U, N. prisoner of war camps
and thousands of North Korean
prisoners who have organized an
“anti-Communist youth associa
tion” and petitioned to remain in
castle—where the burial will take
place—special - broadcasting and
television circuits were installed
to carry to the British people
descriptions of the last procession.
Paid Homage
The Duke of Windsor made
homage to his dead brother last
night.
He went to the bier with his
aged mother and his sister, Mary,
the Princess Royal. The twin lines
of public mourners were halted.
Queen Mary, wearing deep
mourning. and carrying a tight
rolled umbrella, advanced slowly
toward the bier of her son, the
third of her five boys to die be
fore her,
A pace behind her came the
Duke. The Queen grandmother
stopped, and as her gaze passed
to the coffin her lips moved
silently, perhaps in prayer. She
touched a handkerchief to her
eyes. ;
- Windsor stepped forward and
took his mother’s arm for a mo
ment.
Then he dropped to one knee
near the catafalque and put his
head down upon his right hand.
A minute later he arose. °
But the Queen grandmother, her
eldest son and her daughter s®sod
silently for another moment, then
Windsor again sank slowly to his
left knee and bowed his head.
After several minutes he again
arose, and as the three family
mourners reached the stone arch
way of departure, they turned for
one more look at the coffin.
The slow file of mourners be
gan again their shuffle past the
coffin. i
