blocking Truce
By SAM SUMMERLIN
VMUNSAN, Korea, May 29 —
(AP)—The chief United Nations
iruce delegate today accused the
Communisis of blocking a Korean
rmistice out of disappointment
that so few Red war prisoners
want te go home.
in another futile session at Pan
munjom, Maj. Gen. William K.
Garrison, jr. reminded the Com
nunists they had agreed to the
creening—wkhich determined that
rly 100,000 of 169,000 Red
POWs and civilian internees are
unwilling to be repatriatcd.
Suggested Recess
He suggested another recess to
cive the Communists time to re
consider their demand for the re
mirn of all prisoners. But the Reds
mnsisted on another meeting at 11
a. m. tomorrow.
“The factor which prevents an
rmistice today,” Harrison said “is
ot your objection to the screen
g proeess itself but rather your
chagrin at the small number of
persons who stated that they
would net foreibly resist repatria
tlon—a number which was ob
tained by the fairest means possi
ble and by a device which had
vour full aequiescence.”
Harrison told the Reds again at
the 65-minute session that the Al
lied offer to repatriate only those
POWs willing 18 final.
Sharp Reply
It brought this irritated rejoin-~
der from the chief Communist ne
eotiator, North Korean Gen. Nam

Hopes To Break
°
Decdlock Slim .
By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER
WASHINGTON, May 29— (AP).
Threatening Red hints of renewed
large-scale warfare in Korea have
been received in official Washing
ton with deadly seriousness.
They have sharpened the belief
of top-ranking authorities that the
Chinese and North Korean Com
muunists, having built up a mil~
lion-man army and a more pow=
erful air force during the 11
months of truce talks; may now
launch & major offensive,
POW Block
The armistice negotiations
stalled upon insistence by the
United Nations Command that
none of its Chinese and North Ko
rean captives should be forced to
go home, and upon a report of a
survey among these captives that
of 170,000 held only about 70,000
were willing to go home.
Red negotiators have been
equally firm in rejecting volun
tary repatriation and in denounc
ing the results of the survey. No
one in the American government
now seems to see any real hope
for resolving the issue.
New Tensions
Moreover, officials speculate
that, with new tensions building
up in Germany because of Russian
resistance to West German inde
pendence and rearmament, the
men in the Kremlin probably do
not now see advantages to a truce
in Korea which were open to them
a few months or even a few weeks
ago.
If their steps taken so far to
disrupt communications between
Western Germany and Berlin and
to restriet movement into the So
viet zone are forerunners of more
serious trouble they plan to make,
authorities here believe they might
logically want to keep as much
Western force as possible tled up
in Korea.

Tech Students -
Create Another
Form Of Riot
ATLANTA May 29 —(AP) —
Would-be engineers at Georgia
Tech have scorned pantie raiding
but they romped away with fire
men’s helmets and raincoats early
today. : ,
The hassle started spontaneously
after fire broke qut in a restaurant
just off the campus and about 300
to 400 students charged out of
nearby dormitories and fraternity
houses to watch.
Quickly tiring of mere spectat
ing, the youths began yelling and
swarming through firelines mann
ed by a dozen p#trolmen. In the
scuffling, the student? made an
abortive effort to capture a hose
from firemen and turn it on the
policemen. They didn’t gain full
possession but all hands wound
up well moistened, partl¥ by the
hose and partly by a brisk rain.
No arrests were made, no ser
ious injuries were reported and
Police Captain M. Thomas de
clined to call it a riot-although
some of the rumpled patrolmen
felt it was a reasonable facsimile,

_ Democrats Join Republicans In
Big Effort To Preserve Aid Bill
BY JOE HALL
WASHINGTON, May 29. — (AP) — The Senate has
overwhelmingly passed a $6,700,000,000 foreign aid bill
g:lt the mutual security promam is almost sure to be cut
irther before any money actually becomes available.
The final Senate vote on pas
sage last night was 64-10 with 39
Democrats and 25 Republicans
joining in support of the measure
to aid America’s friends all over
the world. Nine Republicans and
one Democrat, Olin Johnston (8.
C.), said “No.”
Goes Into Conference
But the bill now goes into eon
ference with the House, which
voted last Friday, 245-110, to au
thorize the spending of $6,168,000,=
000 in the fiscal year starting this
July 1,
This 537-million-dollar differ
ence beiween the two branches
means that an additional cut in
the Senate total is almost inevi
table.
Then, after the compromise au
thorization measure is passed, the
lawmakers will get another crack
at the program when an appropri
ations bill actually making the
money available is debated.
President Truman asked for
$7,900,000,000, declaring this was
the minimum needed for Ameri
ca’s security. He has been sharply
critical of the cuts voted by the
House.
Bulk of Money
The bulk of the money in the
authorization bill is for direct mil
itary assistance designed to equip
the forces of American allies in
Western Europe and elsewhere,
Administration = forces in the
Senate beat down all efforts to cut
the $6,900,000,000 voted by Senate
committees until late in yester
day’s session,
Then Sen. Long (D.-La.) was
able to get through a 200-million
reduction by a 37-34 vote, partly
because half a dozen senators
voting against cuts had gone
home. Earlier, Long’s proposal for
a 400-million cut lost, 40-37.
Howeg-:, some Republican sen
ators - had been confident that the
Senate would vote at least a half
billion slash on the floor. An
amendment by Sen. Welker (R.-
Idaho) to do this was defeated,
41-33. \

Art Students
Display Work
A far cry from the square house
complete with red chimnies which
once represented school children’s
art are the well-executed and im
aginative examplgé of art work
by students of Miss Nina Scudder.
The work of her students is on dis
play this afternoon through Sat
urday in the carriage house direct
ly behind her 490 S. Milledge
home.
Miss Scudder teaches art to
children through Junior High
School age and is especially
pleased with the results of work
by students this year. The car
riage house, large structure in the
rear of Miss Scudder’'s home, is
lined with pictures varying from
a pictorial representation of Hell
to a zooming space ship. The pic
tures are arranged in accordance
with the ages of the junior ar
tists and present an attractive dis
play to the visitor entering the
building.
Modern Influence
The influence of modern living
is easlly seen in the examples of
art work, as pointed out by Miss
Scudder. Television has placed its
mark on the pictures as have ra
dio and the movies,
One of the most attractive pic
tures on display was inspired by
the grand finale of An American
In Paris. The full scope of colored
spotlights and the gorgeous array
of costumes were caught by the
youthful artist who painted the
scene from memory.
Other picture . well-worth stop
ping and examining include Jule
Alciatore’s graphic reépresentation
of -human figures and an assorted
crew of sinners boiling in cil. One

Jacques Duclos, Main
French Red Is Jailed
Rioting Marks
Ridgway Arrival
PARIS, May 29 — (AP) —
Jacques Duclos, now France's top
Communist, today was charged
with carrying a gun during a
bloody demonstration against Gen.
Matthew B. Ridgway and was
jailed to awalt trial.
Interior Minister Charles Brune
declared the government had un
covered proof of an “organized and
permanent conspiracy by the
Communist troops” against the
French state during last night's
clashes. One Communist was
killed and 17 badly hurt and 200
police injured in Paris. Twenty
five more persons were injured at
Nice,
Nine hundred or more Commun=
ists were arrested here and in
Marseille, Bordeaux and other
French cities during demonstra
tior;s against the new NATO gen
eral.
Police began a broadening
crackdown on the Communists to~
day and seized many editions of
Communist newspapers through
out the country.
Also arrested were Duclos’ wife,
who was released today, his Bel
gian chauffeur, and an Alsatian
body guard.
The Rads struck back in Mar=-
seille against the newspaper seiz
ure. Gangs there stopped trucks
delivering a non-Communist pa
per, dumped the bundles out and

Reds’ Big Guns
eas bid &
Repulse Allied -
Raid In Korea
By JOHN RANDOLPH
SEOUL, Korea, May 29—(AP).
Communist big guns turned back
an Allied raid with their mightiest
barrage of the year Wednesday.
It was the same day Red truee ne
gotiators threatened to remew
heavy fighting in Korea.
The Communists poured 7,126
rounds of fire on U. N. positions
in 24 hours. That's five times the
Reds’ normal volume in the pre
sent limited-action phase of the
war.
Heavy Fire
Half the shells broke up an Al
lied raid on a three-hill ememy
position near Korangpo om the
Western Front. Heavy Commu
nist mortar and artillery barrages
also pounded two sectors east of
the once heavily contested Punch
bowl on the Eastern Front.
Intensity of the Red fire didm’t
match Allied peaks of up to 20,060
rounds in a single day.
U. N. assault troops had
stormed two of the hills near Ko~
rangpo within three hours of their
3 a. m. attack. The third held out
until 8:30 a. m. Tanks provided
fire support in the attack on cne
hill and U. N. troops assaulted
with fixed bayonets on another.
The Reds left 105 soldiers dead or
wounded.
Savage Fight ¢
In a savage fight northwest of
Yonchon, Allied troops repulsed
two Chinese companies preparing
to assault the main United Na
tions line.
The Eighth Army reported 96
Chinese bunkers, six machine-gun
nests and 12 eommunications
trenches, smashed by its Patton
and Sherman tanks on the Cen
tral Front.
Harris Requests
ATLANTA May 29 — (AP) ~
The University System of Geongia
should have 50,000 students, half
of them on the Georgia campus j
Athens, says Roy V. Harris E
Augusta. Harris, a member of the
Board of Regents, told the Univer
sity of Georgia Alumni Associa
tion last night that the System
now has only 20,000 students, teo
few for the state's population.
The Legislature has authorized
the University System Buiflig
Authority to sell an additional
million dollars worth of bonds, he
said, and this should provide a
physical plant at Athens to handle
about 15,000 students.
Except for the Georgia Medical
School in Augusta and Goergia
Tech in Atlanta, Harris added, “we
must look to the University for
teachers, leaders in agriculture,
lawyers, politicians, pharmacists,
veterinariang and practically ev
ery field of endeavor.”
Georgia Alumni

alumni who have rencdeved - -
standing service to their alma
mater will be honored here, <1 -

ty. Presentations will be made
