VACCARO WASHINGTON, May 27—(AP). ] dent Truman has accused i et slashers in the House of , o “their bit to help the Com munist side.” The President declared in a speech last night that cuts in de fense spending were “a foolish, reclkless act” which may force a <harp reduction in U. S. armed forces in an hour of peril. "le expressed hope that Vice Precident Barkley will be able to rersuade the Senate to restore House cuts in both-th& defense’ and foreign aid prograrms. Bitter Assault The President chose a dinner lost night —commemorating the completion of a colony in Israel named for him—Kfar Truman— for a bitter assault on the House. [t recently reduced his defense recommendations from around 51 billion dollars to 46 billion and the utual security program from $7.900,000,000 to $6,174,600,000 last Friday. he President said of the House ¢ n armed services funds: ‘This was a foolish, reckless act. It Jeopardizes our defense buildup. “It may require us—in this hour of peril—to demobilize a substantial part of our armed forces. Think of that.” He declared; ‘"here are some people who vwould rather embarrass the White House than to checkmate the Kremlin , . , Greatest Danger Point ‘The majority of the House picked the two places in the world where the danger is greatest (Eu rope and Asia), where the Com= munist threat is strongest, and they did their bit to help the Communist side.” He sald the reductions in aid to Europe would mean that the Al lies would not be able to raise and equip forces needed to defend the West agalnst Soviet power. The President then told the nearly 1,000 dinner guests that the House eut economic and Point Four aid to Asia by well over 100 million dollars. Crippling Amendment A “crazy, erippling amendment” will cut the Point Four program in Asia by about 50 million more, he said, and this “opens the way to Communist subversion in these (Continued On Page Two) .

James A, Van Fleet, com= mander of the U. S. Eighth Army, sped here from Seoul téday and went into immediate conference with President Syngman Rhee on the South Korean executive's de claration of martial law. 3 American embassy officials sat in on the meeting. Just before the session began, Rhee issued a long-awaited publie statement explaining why he pro claimed martial law in Pusan, the temporary capital, and 21 coun ties in three southernmost pro vinces. Necessary Action He said his action—‘“necessary and long overdue”’—was foreed by increasing guerrilla activities in the region and was taken to pre vent public demonstrations from becoming violent. : “American soldiers have been ambushed and killed in the very vicinity of Pusan” he said. This was a reference to the slaying of five U. S. soldiers by guerrillas Friday in a gravel pit at Tongnae, eight miles north of Pusan. 7 “Murder has been‘committed with impunity,” Rhee continued. This apparently referred to the slaying of a South Korean army captain, allegedly by a national assemblyman, several weeks ago. Rising Public Feeling 5 “And,” Rhee went on, “public feeling has been rising in indig nation against those recalcitrant, irresponsible members of the Na tional Assembly.” ’ The Assembly obtained the member’s release from jail but he was re-arrested by South Korean military police. { “Far reaching Communist con nections have been uncovered and the authorities are taking steps to make a thorough investigation of the case,’ the president said, “When the investigation is com pleted, the full facts will be dis= closed to the public.” Nine assemblymen have been arrested since martial law was de clared Saturday.

Red Neaotiators Make Offensive Threat To U.N. By SAM SUMMERLIN MUNSAN, Korea May 27 (AP) —Communist truce negotiators to day made a veiled threat of a Red offensive as Korea armistice talks resumed after a three-day recess but immediately bogged down over the prisoner of war issue. Armistice Blocked The prisoner issue alone blocks an armistice. The Reds demand return of all their captured sol diers. The United Nations Com mand says not a single captured Red will be - forced to return against.his will. . e North Korean (fen. Nam Il re peated his well-worn charges that the Allies have been slaughtering POWs. He referred to the April 10 riots on Koje Island which were disclosed during the recess. Then he declared: “The ‘Korean People’s Army and the Chinese Peoples’ Volunteers decidedly cannot sit by while see ing their captured fellow combat ants being slaughtered by your side at will.” Possible Threat The U. N. spokesman, Brig. Gen. William P. Nuckols, said Nam ll's statement “could be interpreted” as a threat of stepped up warfare by Communist troops. But Maj. Gen. William K. Har rison jr., senior U. N. delegate, passed off Nam Il's statement as propaganda. Another plenary session was scheduled for Panmunjom tomor- TOW.

Protective Agreement In separate agreements the United States, Britain and the l other nations of the North Atlantic alliance agree to fight if any Euro- 1 pean army nation is attacked in. Europe - a guarantee chiefly to! West Germany since the others are covered by the North Atlantic pact. But despite the array of diplo-" matic leaders here for the impres sive signing ceremonies, the Euro pean army treaty-like the West German pact — today is many months away from being an ef fective order to assemble a fight ing force. Until both pacts are rati-~ fied by the parliaments behind each singer, neither comes into force, Both documents face bitter, determined opposition that may defeat them. | The signing starts about 5 p. m. in the ornate clock room of the French foreign ministry. With the treaty and eight related agree ments to be endorsed, the process will be a long one of many signa=- tures. West German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer leads the alpha betical parade of nations— *“Alle magne” is French for German. The basic treaty provides for a six nation European defeénse community EDC and its sing'e armed force. Secreet Agreements g The agreements cover secret military arrangements for actual deployment of European army sol diers and such relationship as those between the EDC and the North Atlantie Treaty Organiza tion. The U. 8. and Britain reportedly have also assured the European powers they will keep their pre sent troops in Europe as+long as necessary and that they will do whatever is necessary to insure that no EDC member-particularly Germany, will quit the European army and build up a force on itß own.

Russell of Georgia and Sen. Estes Kefau ver of Tennessee. ~More than 500,000 voters in this state’'s second primary were ex pected to make their choices from a scrambled list of 84 candi dates on which 26 were pledged to Kefauver, 41 were pledged to Rus sell and 15 others were unpledged. In addition, one candidate was pledged to support Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower and another to Gen. Douglas MacArthur—both Republicans. Russell Threat The big threat to Russell was the fact that he had a top-lieavy list of candidates running as Rus sell supporters—a number of them generally regarded ss “fifth col umnists” seeking to weaken the Georgian's fight for delegates. Three weeks ago, Russell de feated Kefauver in a presidential popularity poll by 82,600 votes. This was a “beauty contest” in which only the prestige factor was at stake and the outcome was not binding on the delegates’ race in today’s primary. Most political observers be lieved Russell would bag a ma jority of the delegates. In the first primary the Georgian won all but nine of the state’s 67 counties and “3;l\ a 54.5 to 42.3 peé"ggltale yic= tofy on’ tm ‘ e Likely to Win On the basis of first primary ballots, Senator Russell seemed likely to win delegates in six con (Continued On Page 1'w0) Oconee ‘Cuels Slated Tonight Wednesday afternoon from 5:30 {0 7:30, there will be a barbecue at the Oconee Street Methodist Church.

The information was contained in a telephone conversation be tween Congressman Paul Brown and Malcolm Ainsworth, Secretary of the Chamber of Commerce. Congressman Brown, who has been working for some time to secure the contract with the Navy said the proposal now goes to the Senate Armed Forces Committee for its approval. Approval of that group and t..e senate will clear the last hurdle to the plan except for completing the final technical de tails. Since Senator Richard B. Russell is chairman of the Senate Armed Forces Committee, it is felt certain that the committee will look with a sympathetic view point on the plan. Congressman Brown said that under the proposal, the Navy would lease Coordinate for a period of twenty-five years, with an option to purchase the property for $450,000 within a three-year period. The plan hag already been approved by the Board of Regents of the University System of Geor gia. Training School The Navy plans to locate a Sup ply Training School on Coordinate Campus as a permanent installa tion. It will have a constant per sonnel of a minimum of from 700 to 800 and such families as may accompany the personnel. Secretary Ainsworth said today that it is estimated that the school will mean from $2,000,000 to $3,- 000,000 new revenue annually to Athens. To Move Base Congressman Brown said the Navy plans plans to move its supply school from Bayenne, N. J. to Athens, and that terms of the lease amount to about $2,600 a year. The committee was told the Navy expects to expand iés sup ply school when it is moved to Athens and that the present Bay~ onne quarters are too cramped. Congressman Brown said the Navy had estimated rehabilitation and improvement of the Coordin “#te property swould cost $781,000 and. in addition, the Navy plans to build quarters for 110 offices, these with equipment and fittings to cost about $1,019,000. Secretary Ainsworth added that the Athens Industrial Develop ment Corporation, working in con junction with the City Board of Education has completed plans whereby the University Demons tration School, now housed on Co ordinate campus, will be moved (Continued On Page Two) 4-H Talent Show Winners Praised Winners and contestants in the Clarke County 4-H Club talent show were highly praised today by Mrs. Mary H.

Fle Post No. 20, of the American ion last night approved a tion confirming action of the Eme ecutive Committee in voting ap proval of the sale of the lﬁ pool and park on Lumpkin to the University of Georgia. The resolution ag apgrov-d au thorizes the Board of Trustees of the Post to sign a deed for hm property. The trustees will a meeting tonight to discuss the matter. £ The University has not definite ly said it desires to purchase the property but it authorized Julian H. Cox to seek a 90-day option on the property. In the final analysis, since the property is a trust, any propesed, sale would have to receive the ap proval of Judge Henry H. West of Clarke Superior Court. On Three Streets The park has frontages on Lumpkin and Baxter streets and on Cloverhurst Avenue, and gem~ prises some ten aeres of land on which is located the Legion Log Cabin, swimming pool and pool pavilion. Development of the property was begun a number of years ago and the major portion of the funds to build the pool, one of the lar gest outdoor pools of its type in the South, was supplied by the federal government. If the University desires to purchase the property, and if the proposed sale is approved by Clarke Superior Court, the ac quisition would be following out the policy of the University in recent years to secure property on Lumpkin street adjacent to the University property in order that the facilities of the institution might be expanded as needed.
