Curiain Of Secrecy Is
BY SAM SUMMERLIN
MUNSAN, Korea, March 25. — (AP) — Korean truce
negotiators drew a curtain of secrecy today across their
talks on exchanging prisoners of war.
“The negotiations are being conducted in secrecy or pri
vacy, but the results, if any, will be published,” said Brig.
General William P. Nuckols, U. N. command spokesman.
The News hlackout was estab
lished in an effort to break one
of three deadlocks preventing
agreement on an armistice. The
theory lis: Negotiators will talk
more readily about possible com
vromises if they are out of the
propaganda limelight.
Their problem is now to ex
change prisoners. The U. N, wants
prisoners of war to decide for
themselves whether they will be
sent home. The Reds want all
POWs repatriated, whether they
like it or not.
A second group of staff offi
cers reached general agreement
on the secondary question of ports
of entry to be used during an
armistice. But it deadlocked on
the key issue of whether Russia
should be recognized as a neutral
nation supervising the truce.
Rebuff Effort
No secrecy is involved in these
talks. The Reds rebuffed an Allied
effort to break the deadlock. The
Allies suggested each side name
only two neutrals instead of
three.
The Communists insisted Rus
sions be among inspectors sta
tioned at the ten ports of entry.
Col. Don O. Darrow replied that
the U. N. command opposition to
the Soviet Union “is clear. It is
irrevocable. And it is final.”
Nobody is trying to break the
third deadlock over whether the
Reds should be allowed to repair
and build military airfields dur
ing an armistice,
Staff officéers handling the pris
oner question have been working
towards a news blackout for three
days, The Allies formally pro
posed it Monday. Negotiators
agreed on it Tuesday.
The U. N. command warned the
Communists the secrecy will be
lifted immediately if the Reds try
to make propaganda capital of the
confidential talks.

The YMCA was organized here on March 26, 183 Z, and has been
in continuous operation since. It has a membersi of some 750
men and boys and its objectives are aimed to develop not only the
body but the mind, character and religious life as well,
The first full-time General Secretary was the late beloved
Walter T. Forbes, who left a promising banking career in Atlanta

Murray Declines Confab With Wilson;
Says Defense Mobilizer Uninformed
Plan For Eisenhower's
Return Appears Dead
. .
Senate Satisfied
e I
By Aide’s Report
By MARVIN L. ARROWSMITH
WASHINGTON, March 25 —
(AP)—A once-rejected proposal
that Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower
be invited home to testify on the
administration’s foreign aid pro
gram appeared beyond revival to
day in the Senate Foreign Rela
tions Committee.
The proposal by Sen. McMahon
(D.~Conn.) lost one supporter and
two others who had favored the
idea seemed only lukewarm about
it after Eisenhower’s Chief of
Staff, Gen. Alfred M. Gruenther,
appeared before the committee in
support of the program yesterday.
Sen. Gillette (D.-Iowa), who
voted a week ago for inviting
Eisenhower to testify, told a re
porter:
“r think now we won't need
him.. Grunther's knowledge of the
European defense program is so
comprehensive that testimony by
Eisenhower would be just cumu~
lative. I still say, however, that
Eisenhower will be ‘welcome it he
wants to come.”
Senators Wiley (R.-Wis.) and
Green (D.-R.1.), who also voted
to invite Eisenhower, indicated
they were satisfied with the in
formation Gruenther provided
and would not press for another
vote,
On March 17 the committee re
jected, 7 to 5, the proposal to have
Eisenhower testify if he cared to.
Then it unanimously reconsidered
the wvote, in effect shelving the
issue until after Gruenther had
testified,
Most of those who voted against
the proposal said they were
against inviting Eisenhower be
cause of the pogitlcal implications
—his candidacy for the Republi~
can ytqgide;l‘t‘ial nomination.
“McMahon, whose original sug
gestion that Eisenhower be sum
moned home from Paris was re
vised to put it on an invitation
basis, denfed that politics was in
volved in his proposal. McMahon
said he feels Eisenhower knows
more about the European defense
program than anyone else, and
that Congress should have his
views first-hand.
The Democratic leaders of the
House, Rep. McCormack of Mass
achusetts, said Eisenhower should
give up his command at once and
be a candidate for President, in
stead of being both candidate and
commander,
Eisenhower-for-President head
quarters called McCormack’s
statement a tipoff that the Demo
crats regard the General as “The
No. 1 threat to their hopes for
1952.”
Predict Return
Eisenhower supporters are pre
dicting he will be home before the
Republican convention in July.
On April 2 he plans to report
by radio and television from
Europe on the progress of the
Western military buildup in the
first year of his Supreme Allied
Command.
After that report, or possibly as
a part of it, he may ask President
Truman to relieve him.
Senate committee members
generally said they were much
impressed by Gruenther’s knowl
edge of the European situation.
They indicated they would be well
satisfied if he were named to take
over when Eisenhower leaves,
Tornado Damage
Is 15 Million
LITTLE ROCK, Ark., March 25
— (AP) — Arkansas totaled up a
25 million dollar damage bill from
black Friday’s vicious tonados
as the living began the task of
rebuilding.
Gov. Sid McMath said last night
that a survey of the state indicated
that damage would approach the
25 million: dollar mark.
Arkansas was the hardest hit
of six southern states by the tor
nados, storms and floods, which
took 232 lives, injured 1,100 and
left thousands without shelter.
In Arkansas alone, 129 persons
were Killed; 711 injured and 1,361
homes were destroyed or damaged.
Relief operations, directed by
Red Cross and Salvation Army
workers, rapidly brought a sem
blanece of order to the Chaos.
Arkansas cities that escaped un
scathed dispatches truekloads of
clothing, food and furniture to the
destitute communities and sent
thousands of dollars in cash to
finance relief work. The citizenry
of Warren in Southeast Arkansas
—hit by a twister in 1949—sent the
cash contributions made to all
their churchers Sunday.
The Federal Reconstruction Fin
ance Corporation declared five of
the states hit—Arkansas, Tennes=
see, Alabama, Missouri and Missi=
ssippi—as disaster areas, opening
the way for government loans to
the storm victims.
Consumer credit restrictions
also were lifted for all Arkansas

Rent Units Must
Wait Unfil June
ATLANTA, March 25 — (AP)—
The Public Housing Administra=~
tion announced today that 82
Georgia towns and cities planning
7,444 low-rent housing units have
no hope of starting work until af
ter June 30.
Even then, the prospects are
none too bright, said the PHA’s
Aflanta field office, although many
of the towns have acquired sites,
some have asked bids and others
have plans well advanced.
The hitch is that these munici
palities were left on the waiting
list after all funds for this fiscal
year were exhausted. So far, Con~
gress has authorized no money for
the new fiscal year starting July
1
The President asked for 75,000
units for the nation compared with
50,000 this year. But the House of
Representatives last week cut the
number to 5,000. PHA spokesmen
said they hope the Senate will re
store the total to at least this year’s
figure of 50,000.
Since the PHA program began
in 1949 money has been available
for 72 Georgia towns and cities
to start 8,988 wunits. This total
includes a few clean-up authoriza
tions to be made by April 1.

ClO Head Says WSB Wage Proposal
Poses Threat To Stable Economy
BY NORMAN WALKER
WASHINGTON, March 25. — (AP) — CID President
Philip Murray today blasted Defense Mobilizer Charles E.
Wilson as a “biased and uninformed” big businessman and
refused to meet with him on the crucial steel dispute.
Wilson, flying back from talks with President Truman
at Key West, Fla., had charted new steel wage-price peace
negotiations in apparent hopes of avoiding boosts which
Wilson plainly felt might wreck the entire economie eon
trols program. : 3 :
Murray's tart refusal to meet
with Wilson, even before the mo
bilization chief got around to
sending out invitations, seemed to ‘
doom any such negotiations before
they started. |
Serious Threat |
Wilson told reporters who met
him at the airport last night that
proposals made last week by the
Wage Stabilization Board (WSB)
for settling the labor issues posed
“a serious threat” to the admin
istration’s efforts to stabilize the
economy.
The steel industry says it will
have to raise its prices up to sl2
a ton to pay for wage increases
recommended by WSB for Mur
ray’s uniona.
One source close to the steel in
dustry said Wilson was thinking
of advising President Truman to
end all wage-price controls en
tirely, but Wilson’s aides said
that action is not being considered
seriously.
Wilson’s comment that the
WSB’s recommendations for a
17%-cent hourly pay boost and
other benefits for Murray’s CIO
steelworkers would threaten the
economic stabilization program
stung Murray into making a hot
reply.
“It is clear,”” Murray's state
ment said, “that no constructive
purpose can be served by atten
dance at a meeting with Mr, Wil
son at- which—in accordance with
his prior, biased and uninformed
judgment of the issues—he will
attempt to set aside the findings
of the wage board in favor of an
industry-dictated arrangement.
Refuses Meeting
“Accordlr;fly. the United Steel
workers will attend no such meet

had postponed scheduled steel
strikes four times at Truman’s re«
quest and had followed the ad
Architects Plan
School Building
Georgia’s school building pro
gram hag come in for some close
inspection at the Univresity of
Georgia today.
At a conference on school plant
planning, Georgia architects and
school men put their heads to
gether in an effort to determine
the best method of developing a
school building program.
They reached this conclusion: A
school building program must be
confined to the funds available,
but at the same time it must meet
high educational specifications,
They said that both can be done.
One suggested solution for this
problem was made bg Dr. Charles
W. Bursch, of the school planning
board of the California Depart«
ment of Education.
List Needs
Educators planning a school
building, he said, “should make a
list of the educational needs that
building should meet and rate
these needs on & priority basis,
“Then when the architect draws
up the plans, he ineludes in the
building as many quality features
as he can with the funds available.
Absolute educational necessities
would be provided for first, with
the entire building being plan
ned so that additions could be
made to it when funds became
available.”
Right now the maximum the
state of Georgia will contribute
to.school construction is $7.50 a
square foot. Anything spent over
this amount must be supplemented
with local funds.
The educators agreed that be
fore any architectural plans are
drawn a careful study of the ed-l
ucational specifications of the
building should be made. s
These specifications should an
swer the question of what a school
is going to offer its pupils and how
these needs can best be met in a
building program.
One educator suggested that the
whole solution lay in figuring out
the traffic pattern of a school and
putting a roof on it,
The architects concurred with
the educators In their opinion that
school buildings should provide for
expansion,
Herbert C. Millkey, president of
the Georgia chapter of the Ameri
can Institute of Architects, told the
conference that money available
for most school building programs
simply won’t complete facilities.
Therefore, he said, there must bhe
plans for expansion when funds
are available.
He added that there was no point
in Georgians trying to emulate the
S2O a square foot schools in the
North on a $7.50 budget.
The Conference opened on the
campus Monday and closed this
afternoon. A total of 261 school
superintendents, architects, and
members of boards of education
attended.

who summoned him to New York
for a hasty briefing.”
First Economic Stabilizer Roger
Putnam, then Wilson went to New
York last week to meet with steel
company executives following the
WSB’s announcement of its rec
ommendations,
Besides the 17%-cent hourly
pay boost, the WSB proposals fav
ored the steel industry uglthg
Murray’s demand for a shop }
—which would compel all workers '
to be union members—along with !
holiday, shift and other improve- '
ments estimated to cost an amount
equal to more than five cents un‘
hour per worker. Only 12
cents of the pay boost would be
effective immediately, with ad
ditional 21%-cent increases due
next July 1 and next Jam. 1.
Murray said he planned te ig
nore Wilson’'s meetings and go
ahead with scheduled bargainiug
sessions with steel companies
starting Wednesday. The eurrent
strike postponement is to last enly
until April 8.

| :i:‘t‘om maneuver én gB. ATy
| ry, came o e
‘board at one minute m
night when two brigades es the.
82nd Airborne Division stormed
across the Lampasas River.
The 82nd aggressor foroe in this
giant mock war threw a U‘l:'
punch at the U, 8. force, the 47th
Infantry Division on the .: the
31st Infantry in the rear the
First Armored in reserve.
Until oneimlinuto after millntlight
this was strictly a paper operation,
but when the cocky parackuté in-~
fanirymen hit the lazy lwi
ifi)_u couldn’t tell it from the rea
ing.
The operation is as yesl as
theory can make it and you can
get the scope by this comparison:
There are six divisions of U. S.
troops tighting in Korea,
There are four on the maneuvers
here.
Lt. Gen. William tole, Fourth
Army Commander :cfl’ as
maneuver director. The U. 8.
Forces are under the command of
Mas. Gen. Hobart Gay, who led
the First Cavalry in the first
bloody charge of Xorea. Masjor
Gen. Charles D. W, Canham,
“jumping grandfather” commands
the 82nd and all aggressor forces.
Backing up the ground troops
in this maneuver, which lasts until
April 11, are the Ninth and 18th
troop transportation and supply
drops.
In theory, the “agiressors" have
made way in sledge hammer fash
ion from landings on the Guif of
Mexico. They engulfed the south
ern portion of the U, 8. and in
Texas now hold a line ;entnlly
from here in Central Texas to
Bryan to the Gulf.
Across this gigantic military re
servation and leasted ranchland,
the theory of ground-air war
fare at its zenith will be explored,
new weapons will be tried, includ
ing simulated atomic artillery.
