U. N. Says Reds
Give In |
Must Give In |
By ROBERT B. TUCKMAN
MUNSAN, Korea, March 13 —
AP)—Allied truc€” negotiators
ld the Reds today they were
vasting time trying to get ‘“the
neonditional repatriation of all
hrisoniers we hold in exchange for
. small portion of those you hold.”
That's what the latest Red plan
mounts to, said Rear Adm, R, E,
I.iby, and it is not acceptable.
The Communists insist that
prisoner exchange plans be adopt=-
d before turning over a *“‘com
ete and bona fide” prisoner ros-
Libby said that's “putting the
art before the horse.”
He told the Communists they
ust make the next move. The
neds said it’s Libby’s move,
Col. Andrew J. Kinney de~
cribed as “strictly a goose egg” a
taff officers’ meeting on truce
<upervision in a nearby tent.
The Communists suggested last
week that prisoner exchange dis~
yussions proceed on the basis of
priginal lists traded last Decem
ber. North Korean Maj. Gen. Lee
Sang Cho said Thursday the plan
offered a step-by-step solution of
the problem. 3
“yYou have offset all of our ek!l.
forts to make progress,” Lee said.
“The lack of confidence is attri
butable to your negative attitude.”
He said the -U. N. command
must abandon this “negative atti
tude” i it s interested in reaching
an armistice.
Libby demanded a complete list
of prisoners in asking once more
for an accounting of some 350,000
missing South Xorean soldiers.
The Reds have said they were re
leased at the front. The U. N.
charges most were impressed into
th Communist armies.
Kinney said the Reds have
turned down three proposed solu
tions to the dispute over Com
munist nomination of Russia to a
neutral inspection commission. He
said this indicated clearly where
responsibility for delay in nego
tiations should Be placed.
The U. N. has proposed that the
Reds: (1) Drop the Soviet Union
and nominate another nation as
their third representative on the
commission; (2) drop Russia, re
taining Poland and Czechoslova
l-ia, while.the U. N. drops Norway,
retaining Sweden and Switzer
land; (3) Pick the same number
of inspectors from the two accep=
table neutrals as the U. N. chooses
from its three representatives.

15 Are Killed
As B-19's Crash
In Texas Hills
SAN ANTONIO, March 13 —
(AP) — Two B-29 superfortres
ses whose pilots couldn’t see where
they were going while flying on
instruments collided and carried
15 crewmen to their deaths in the
hill of south central Texas yes
terday. -
One bomber plunged to earth
and shattered, scattering fragments
and bodies over a five-mile area.
The other glided down several
mll'rehs away, exploded and burned.
e planes -were on training
flights from Randolph Air Force
Base here. They were being flown
mechanically and the pilot’s cab
ins.were blacked out, according to
Lt. Bill Adams, public information
officer at the base.
One plane carried seven men
and the other eight, the Air Force
Base said. Normally a B-29 com
bat crew consists of 11 men.
The shattered plane crashed on
a hilltop on the Gus Krause Ranch.
The other glided down near a
small landing strip on the ranch
of J. W. Heard, San Antonio ©il
man.
D. C. McDonald, supedintendent
of a nerarby ranch, said he saw
the planes flying in formation.
He gave this account:
Sudden Tragedy
“Suddenly one creased over and
apparently clipped the tail section’
from the other plane. One went
down and the other kept on fly
ing on a level keel with good al~
titude as if undamaged. No one
jumped. The plane came in low
over a windmill on the Heard
ranch, just barely missing it. Sud
denly the left wing dipped and
went into the ground. The right
wing cut off a huge tree. The
plane pdowed several hundred feet
and the four motors were found on
a hilltop several hundred feet
away.”
Chester Krause, son of the ranch
owner, told this story:
“T heard a big explosion and
dashed out and saw a fire going. I
ran up the hill about a half a mile
away where the crash occurred.
there wasn’t any indication that
anybody was alive.”
Randolph first reported that a
B-29 bomber sighted the wreck
age of one plane. It was several
hours later before the base con
firmed that two planes had col
lided.
The crash occurred about 1 p. m.
(EST) 40 miles north of here in a
rugged ranch country studded with
cedar and live oak trees.
A special investigationg board
was reported flying to Randolph
from San Bernardino, Calif.
Jack Nolen, who lives near by
reported finding a paper back booik
with most if its pages burned away
but with the title intact. .
It read: “I want a big funeral.”
Winds Disrupt
Albany Lines
ALBANY, Ga., March 13—(AP)
—High winds which struck near
Century and Leesburg, some six
miles north of here, early today
disrupted telephone and telegraph
communications and priefly de
layed highway and rail transpor
tation.
The gale, which downed 24 tele
phone ana Western Union poles,
cannot be called a tornado, Frank
P. Lamb, official at the Albany
Weather Bureau, said this morn
ing. *
Lamb said the winds blew over
a ridge area. He said the omly
damage done was the downing of
poles and a number of trees.
Jimmy Warren, exchange man
ager of the Southern Bell p%:nt
here, said the company’s main long
distance lines serving this south
west Georgia hub from the north
and west were knocked out by the
big blow. He added that Leesburg
wags completely’ isolated from out
side communication for some.three
hours. . T e

Sleuth May Face
Contempt Charge
BY G. MILTON KELLY
WASHINGTON, March 13.—
(AP) — Admiral William Smith,
former head of the old U. S. Mar
itime Commission, testified today
he recalls no White House assist
ante to Newbold Morris in ship
deals now under Senate investiga
tion.
But Smith told Senate investiga
tors he did remember Washington
lawyer Joseph E. Casey as “throw
ing his weight around” in some of
the negotiations.
Smith was before the Senate in
vestigations subcommittee which
is looking into how Ex-Rep. Ca
sey, Massachusetts Democrat, and
a group of associates made 3%
million dollars from ship deals into
which they put only SIOI,OOO of
their own money. ¢
Morris, now government cor
ruption investigator, was drawn
into'the inquiry by diselosure that
three oil tankers handled by Ca
sey's group wound up (1) in the
hands of a client of Morris’ law
firm, and (2) hauling oil to Com
munist China.
Morris, in two days in the wit
ness chair, denied any wrong
doing and said he had received
nothing fronr ship deals. However,
he acknowledged his gross share
of his firm’s legal fees from the
ships transaction might be $30,000
to $35,000.
At the close of his testimony
yesterday, Morris blasted at what
he termed the ‘diseased minds” of
the senators investigating him.
As a result, there was some talk
of citing him for contempt.
Citizens Signing
For New Industry
Several hundred people of the
Athens area registered at Civic
Auditorium this morning, express
ing their interest in working for
one or two industries with which
the Chamber of Commerce is ne
gotiating at the present time. Reg
istration will continue at the Au
ditoriumr through Saturday, as it
will at other registration points
outside Athens.
According to Malcolm Ains
worth, secretary of the Athens
Chamber of Commerce, the two
industries that are considering
coming to Athens are of almost
equal size. One is a machine in
dustry and the other for the man
ufacture of precision instruments.
“Both industries will employ about
the same number of people,” stat
ed Mr. Ainsworth.
That number he placed at about
5,000. He stated that all persons
interested in working at either of
the plants in the event one of themr
comes to Athens, should register at
the Civie Auditorium, He stated
that both men and women will be
‘eligible.
Although the site for the new
Athens industry has not been de
cided upon, Mr. Ainsworth stated
that the site would be within five
miles of the city.

Poet Frost Is
Guest Lecturer
At University
Robert Frost, noted New Eng
land poet, engaged in a bit of
playfal prophesy this morning as
he addressed a packed University
Chapel audience composed of stu
dents, faculty and townspeople.
Mr. Frost was in Athens for his
annunal guest appearance as lec
turer at the Chapel, this year’s
lecture being Fic eighth m a 8
many years. é
Enroute from Florida to his New
England home, Mr. Frost will be
the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Hugh
Hodgson while in Athens.
Mr, Frost, in gpening his re
marks this -mornim _that a
president of a Florida college had
predicted that mdin& would not
last for very long in this world of
ours. “The president,” he said,
“bases his belief on the wide
spread use of visual aids, televis
ion, pictures, and radio.”
The Pulitzer prize winning poet,
however, prophesied that *“read
ing is here to stay.”
He opined that we “cannot get
rid of words, for without words
thinking is impossible.”
~ He cited a meeting of philoso~
‘phers and scientists that was held
‘recently in an effort to place phil
osophy on a scientific basis. Mr.
Frost stoutly maintained that
there ™is a line, like an isotherm
which science will never cross.”
He continued, “Science will
never help to determine which
friendship is true or how long
and how much false friendship
you can use in your business.”
In concluding his prophetic vein
of thought, Mr. Frost stated,
‘What we don’t know will always
be immeasurably greater than
what we do know.”
The first poem that Mr. Frost
read to his appreciative audience
was entitled, ‘“The Beginning of
the End of Colonialism.” He ex
plained that blame is- always
placed either on the Colonies or on
Britain for the Revolutionary War,
but that his poem endeavors to
explain the war without blaming
either side.
Reciting from the vast number
of poems which he has published,
Mr. Frost presented a varied half
hour’s listening to the attendants
at the lecture. He ranged from
poems “written before either of
the world wars” to one that is not
yet complete,
' Old favorites such as “Birches,”
“Mending Wall” and “Departmen
tal” were read. He interrupted his
readings of the poetry with fre
quefit inserts of explanatory na
ture and cautions to his audience
to “look out for this rhyme.”
. Returning to the speaker’s
stand after the completion of his
program in answer to uproarious
applause, Mr. Frost read his poem
entitled, ‘A Con-siderable Speck”
to end his eighth appearance in
Athens on its usual pleasant and
enjoyable note.
Miss Davison, present Tax Col
lector, was the second speaker at
the luncheon. She states, “I base
my claim for re-election upon my
record, 1 entered the Tax Collec
tor’s office in 1944, having served
as a deputy Collector under my
father and as Collector since his
death on May 11, 1951.”
Proud of Record
Miss Davison declared that she
is proud of her record as 98 per
cent of the taxes have been paid.
She termed the voters as being
her employers and added, “It is
not customary, for employers to
remove a servant from office
when they are satisfied with the

Strike Holdoufs
Ready To Return
To Work Today
ELKHART, Ind., March 13 —
(AP) — The last holdouts against
court and union orders to end the
New York Central Railroad strike
grepared to go back to work to
ay.
Union chairman and company
officials met to work out the de
tails of getting the railroad back
to normal operations. A company
spokesman in Chicago said this
should be accomplished by mid
afternoon. g
Elkhart members of the Enfine
ers, Conductors and Firemen Bro
therhoods were the last to give in
to the back-to-work orders. Re
sentful but relieved, they voted
late last night to return to their
jobs., A spokesman said the vote
was 136 to 72.
Their fellow Rebels in Toledo,
0., had ended their resistance
several hours earlier by the much
closer vote of 220 to 214.
D. W. Tucker, division chair
man of the Firemen and Engine
men, said the man “resented hav
ing to go back to work without any
kind of a settlement.” He said the
effects of a possible permanent in
junction influenced them to vote
to return.
1800 Were Idie
The Elkhart strike made idle
1,800 employes and caused the re
routing of main line traffic Wed
nesday. However, two trains, the
Pacemaker and Twentieth Century
Limited, were taken through by
supervisory employes.
The Toledo and Elkhart strikers
had held out for 24 hours against
orders from top Union officers to
go back to work. Before taking
their vote they demanded and re
%:'ived assurance that no discip
ary- action would be taken
against them.
The Toledo men had .resigned
from their unions and set up a new
union, called the Model Railroad
Club. However, a spokesman said
this action was merely a device to
avoid punishment under the court
injunction. The wunions are ex
pected to take them back in good
standing.
Chicago Affected
Operations in Chicago also were
affected Wednesday when 18 five
man crews failed to report at 4
p. m. as scheduled. Fourteen sub
urban trains between Chicago and
Chesterton, Ind., were cancelled.

Intimates Angry
Over NH Veting
By ERNEST B. VACCARO
KEY WEST, Fla.,, March 13 —
(AP) — President Truman today
hid behind an outwardly cheerful
countenance any possible bitter
ness and disappointment over his
stunning defeat in New Hamp
shire by Sen. Estes Kefauver of
Tennessee.
Intimates told newsmen he has
said little even to them of the
blow that befell his prestige in
Tuesday’s Democratic Presidentiai
Preference primary. :
They wouidn’t talk for quota
tion. The only official word from
Truman'’s vacation camp was
Presidential Secretary Joseph
Short’s assertion the New Hamp
shire defeat will have absolutely
no effect on the President’s ulti
mate decidion whether to run
again.
Intimates Angry
Some of these intimates private
ly made no effort to hide their
own anger at party leaders in New
Hampshire who persuaded the
President to allow his name to
remain on the ballot there after
he had snnounced he would ask
its withdrawal.
The defeat in New Hampshire
now makes two things more diffi
cut for the President.
1. He may find it harder to bow
out, should that be his desire, than
he would have before. If there is
one phrase which identifies his
political philosophy more than any
other it is his frequent declara
tion *“I never ran away from a
fight in my life.”
2. The New Hampshire upset
could make his comeback fight
more difficult than it would be
had he kept his name out of the
contest. And it could change the
minds of some who have been in
sisting that he make the race for
re-Llßctions - s i
The President’s ddvf;}rs at the
same time sought to discount the
importance of the turn of events
in the New England state.
They said it would have no real
bearing on the national conven
tion and that there would b 2 no
difficulty about getting the nomi
nation for Truman if he wants it,

Grim Puzzle Of ¢
Schuster Killer
NEW YORK, March 13— (AP)—
A threatening letter to a Brooklyn
doctor has added another twisted
piece to the grim puzzle of who
Arnold Schuster, finger man of
bank robber Willie (The Actor)
Sutton. .
The letter—intercepted yester
day by postal authorities—was
mailed to Dr. Solomon M. Fialka,
a neighbor of the slain 24-year
old pants salesman. g
Fialka ‘was first to examine
Schuster’s body after it was rid
dled by gunfire last Saturday
night.
A heavy police guard was plac~
ed around the physician’s home
following the threat,
The m to him was turned
over to the 51, which told only
police what was in it and where
it was mailed. Contents of the note
were not made public,
Police, baffled but busy, have
ordered a news clampdown on
progress of the manhunt. They
claim the “tremendous publicity”
given the ruthless slaying has been
“hampering” the probe. ¢
Schuster received 11 death
threats after his recognition of
Sutton on a subway train led to
the capture of the escaped con
vict.
Mailed Threat
Schuster’s family received a
mailed death threat Monday, the
day Arnold was buried.
hYesterday, a man’s voice on the
one warn g
et oo ke o otne:
truck appeal for all witnesses to
come forward:
“If you don’t want to die, keep
your mouth shut.”
A garage mechanic who aided
in Sutton’s capture also has been
threatened by telephone. Police
are guarding all persons reporting
threats, !
Baffling Motive
The “why” of the Schuster kill
ing is baffling. Was it a psycho
pathic hero-worshipper of Sutton
who committed the apparently
senseless killing? Or was it the
underworld avenging the capture
of a pal—or a murderous warning
to respectable citizens to “lay off”
aiding in the capture of crim
inals?
In connection with the latter,
police are pushing every clue to
learn the whereabouts of 37<year=
old Frederick (The Angel) Teputo,
convicted murderer who escaped
with Sutton in 1947 from the
Holmesburg, Pa., penitentiary.
The handwriting in the death
threats sent to young Schuster
was. checked yesterday with a
sample of Tenuto’s handwriting.
Police said there was no similar
ity.
