“or Secret Truce Sessions
BY SAM SUMMERLIN
MUNSAN, Korea, July 4.—(AP)—Allied truce nego
tintors today accepted the Communists’ bid for secret ses
< ons and voiced hopes that the Reds are ready to modify
their demand that all Allied-held war prisoners be sent
home. S R TN e 4
\hf ‘Gen, William: K. Harrison,
jr, told the Reds the United Na
tions would agree to & news black
out. The negotiators immediately
went into a 40-minute secret ses~
sion. Another was set for 11 a. m.
saturday 9 p. m. EST Friday.
The U. N. communique said Har
rison agreed to off the record talks
“in the hope that secret meetings
will make it easier for the Com
munists to modify their adamant
'm.mtence that all prisoners be re
turned to their control by force if
pecessary.” :
Brig. Gen. William P. Nuckols,
Y. N. spokesman, described the
first secret meeting as “quietly
igmpersonal.”
1. N. negotiators have said they
w.nt more details of the Commu-~
nists’ Thursday for reclassification
of war prisoners and checking of
prisonep lists,
n making the proposal, North
Ko-ean Gen. Nam Il indicated the
neds would ease their demand for
the return of all Korean military
prisoners in U. N. stockades, pto
‘#lded all 20,000 Chinese captives
are returned,
Vuckols said Nam’s statement
% .5 “generally wague, frequently
unc.ear and magyy of its supposed
1v key sentences were mutually
contradictory.”
“Jarrison said he agreed the
closed meetings would last until
*a settlement is reached or when
either side is ready to resume
lalks in open session.”
Observers said there was no
reason to believe the U. N. would
budge from its stand for voluntary
repatriation of prisoners.

--munist MIGs whi’ fe uded

battlefront for a . .pble-bar
reled July Fourth blow
against the Reds.
The toll of 12 MIGs shot down,
one probably destroyed and six
damaged‘made the air battle the
second biggest jet victory of the
quean war, the Fifth Air Force
said.
Few MIGs have been seen over
North Korea ifor more than three
months. But Friday the Reds
hurled 115 against U. N. fighter
bombers and the 97 Sabre jets fly
ing protective cover.
The Air Force did not identify
the target of the big force of F-84
thunderjets. However, if said the
Communist installation was about
20 miles southeast of Suiho, site of
gsgiant power plant smashed June
Secret Raid
Some observers said the secrecy
gave the raid the appearance of
something out of the ordinary.
Allied plane losses, if any, were
not announced.
The MIG toll was just short of
the all-time record set Dec. 13
when 13 MIGs were shot down, two
probably destroyed and one dam
aged.
The total number of MIGs de
stroyed, probably destroyed and
damaged topped the earlier battle,
19 to 186.
Two wings of F-84 fighter
bombers pounded the unidentified
target with 1,000 pound bombs and
napalm, the Air Force said.
Returning pilots said it was im
possible tc evaluate damage be
cause of dense black smoke.
On the western front, a Chinese
Communist battalion of 750 men
swarmed up Old Baldy and a near
by hill three times, Twice Allied
guns hammered the charging Redsg
back, but still they came. .
Unit Cut Off
One Allied unit finally was cut
off and some forward bunkers
were overrun. But the Doughboys
scrambled out and rallied around
‘tanks which poured lead into the
attacking Reds at point blarfk
range.
At 2:35 Friday morning, four
hours after the attack began, the
Chinesé gave up the battle.
Slightly to the east, a somewhat
smaller Communist force of about
| 150 men hit a newly-won Allied
mortar and artillery barrage: The
' Army said the attack was stopped
cold.
Homecoming Sef
At Winterville
Members, former members and
friends of Winterville Baptist
Church will hold the church’s
third annual Homecoming Service
Sunday morning at 10:30 o’clock.
It is expected that several hun
dred persons will attend, including
former members of the church
who have moved away from Win
terville.
Guest speaker will be Rev. J.
Alton Morris, now pastor of First
Baptist Church in Murphey, N. G
and a former superintendent of
the Winterville school system.
Rev. Morris is a forceful speak
er and his old friends are looking
forward with pleasure to hearing
him. Another former member who
will take part in the progranr is
Frank Watson.
Following the morning service,
a basket lunch will be enjoyed in
the Winterville city park. The
park is being used this year in
stead of the church lawn, as has
been customary, due to the build
ing material stacked on the lawn,
Ample parking space will be
provided for cars, under the sup
ervision of an alert and competent
group of young boys.
First two Homecoming occasions
were great successes and it is ex
‘pected that the 1952 event will
‘surpass even the past ones. A cor

all friends to attend and enjoy the
warm fellowship and good food
for which the community has be
come famous.

Strike - Idled
Men Face Bleak
BY GIB STALEY
PITTSBURGH, July 4—(AP)—
This is a bicak Independence Day
for members of families whose
breadwinners are idled by the
nation-wide steel strike.
There are 600,000 CIO United
Steelworkers who have been idle
since June 2. Then there gre some
414,010 persons in allied industries
who have been laid off as the re
sult of the walkout.
Wives of the strikers gnd men
laid off because of the shutdowns
are planning little family get to
gethers at home for the Fourth.
They just don’t have the money
for such luxuries as gassing up
the family auto, packing a big
picnic basket and getting out to
the country,
A good many of the men and
their families will spend the day
in their backyards, sitting on the
front porch or taking in a neigh
borhood sandlot baseball game.
While the steelworkers wait for
their union chiefs and the com
panies to work out an agreement,
the nation’s econonry suffers more
and more.
All Affected
There’s hardly a company that
uses steel which has not been af
fected or will not be soon.,
Automobile production, which
has slumped sharply already, is
expected to be hit extremely hard
next week. It is possible 70 per
cent of the industry’s car and
truck output will be halted.
~ Akron, Ohio, reported the first
layoffs yesterday because of the
‘strike. Rim plants at Goodyear
Tire and Rubber Company, and
Firestone Tire and Rubber Com
pany closed last night for lack of
steel. Each employs about 500
workers.
The Dodge Division of Chrysler
Motor Car Company closed last
night at Kokomo, Ind. About 500
were laid off. The layoff came 23
hours after the Continental Steel
Corporation plant at Kokomo
closed, idling 2,000. The CIO-USW
local at the plant had been keep
ing its employes working under a
30-day extension agreement pend
ing attempts by the union to reach
a settlement with the big steel
companies.

ATHENS, OA,, FRIDAY, VLY 4, 1983,
Philosopher Tells
Arnd May Not Be Done
By HAL BOYLE
NEW YORK, —(AP)—This is
the anniversary of the declaration
of American independence.
It is now 176 years since young
Tom Jefferson said everybody has
an inalienable right so “life, li
berty and the pursuit of happi
ness.”
What does this mean today? I
have compiled a handy guide to
what a citizen can and cannot 'do
on Independence Day. First, let us
take up what a man cannot do,
as that will help keep him out of
trouble:
You cannot smoke on a bus,
Or walk on the grass,
Or spit in the subway,
Or take your dog for a stroll
unless you are bothe on the same
leash.
You cannot cash a check at the
bank,
Or find a place to park your
car,
Or beat your wife,
Or give firecrackers to your
children,
Or strew orange peelings on a
public beach.
You cannot, in many cities, cross
the street until a sign says “walk,”
More Prohibitions
O pinch a pretty girl or can
you?,
Or bawl out a cop,
Or throw empty bottles at your
landlord.
You cannot drive while intoxi
cated but too many will anyway
Or find a good five-cent cigar,
Or forget your bills,
Or maltreat a canary,
Or go swimming in your under
wear.
All these are things the sensible
citizen will find are banned or
impossible of accomplishment on
Independence Day. What, then, is
he at liberty to do in his pursuit
of happiness?
Here’s What You Can Do
Well, you cam listen to a politi
clan patriotically point with pride,
Or view with alarm,
Or put in a kind word for moth
erhood.
You can criticise the govern
ment.
Or the income tax,
Or the way people in Hollywood
live.
Or corruption in Washington,
And you don’t have to dig a hole
in the ground and whisper your
objection into it, You can bellow
them out loud.
You can load the wife and kids
in the car and take to the open
road.
Then eat your lunch in a poison
ivy bed by the side of the high
way because you are caught in a
traffic jam 27 miles from a pic
nic site.
There is one thing more you oan
do:
You can stay at' home and have
a nice, cool pleasant dinner with
the family. g‘hen you could as
semble them all in the living room,
get out a copy of the Declaration
of Independence and read it aloud,
word after ring word and ask
what it meant to each one there.
Probably there won’t be many
families who will celebrate Inde
endence Day in this manner. But
rn the homes where it is done the
children will remember the day
for many a year thereafter,
GUERRILLA CAUSUALTIES
KUALA LUMFUR, Malaya, —
(AP) Gen. Sir Gerald Templer,
British high commissioner in

Progress Report
Submitted Here
By City Engineer
A progress report from the De
partment of Public Works was
made at the regular July meeting
of the Mayor and Council by City
Engineer J. G. Beacham.
The report covered the work
done by the department during the
month of June.
Mr. Beacham reported that the
first course of asphalt and gravel
had been placed on a portion eight
city streets. The work has been
delayed, Mr. Beacham said, due
to the shortage of slag which has
been caused by the steel strike.
This has also created -a shortage
of stone which is another material
that can be used for this purpose,
and makes it practically unobtain
able. It is hoped that these cog
ditions will soon be cleared up, so
the program can be brought to a
conclusion, the City Engineer add
ed,
During the month of June the
city suffered considerable rain
damage necessitating hauling dirt
on numerous streets in order to
repair washouts, according to the
report.
The white parking lines in the
business section of the city have
been repainted by the Street De

Texans Provide Powder For
Pre - Convention Fireworks
.
Taft Continues To
. .
Predict Victory
By ED CREAGH
CHICAGO July 4 — (AP) —
An ear - shattering display of
Fourth of July fireworks was set
.to go before the Republicans.
National Committee today—with
.the compliments of Texas.
Thirty-eight hefty, possibly de
cisive, nominating votes in next
week’s GOP national convention
furnished the explosive charge,
One delegation—calling its oppo
nents thieves and worse—wanted
to vote for Gen. Dwight D. Eisen
hower, The other—denouncing the
Ike forces as mostly Democrats in
dispnise—was for Senator Robert
A. Taft.
The 106-member National Com
mittee had the job of deciding—for
the time being, at least—which
crowd to let into the convention.
With Taft forces running the
National Committee, nobody here
had much doubt that most if not
all the Texans winning recogni
tion today would be wearing Taft
buttons in their western-type hats.
But that was far from being the
end of it.
Delegates who lost their contests
before the National Committee,
.ind this year that means Eisen
ower delegates wilhs few excep
tions, can appeal to (1) the con=-
vention’s Credentials Committee,
and (2) a vote of the convention
aelegates themselves. «
There, on the convention floor,
with the microphones and the tele
vision cameras telling the whole
story to the voters, is where the
real fight is going to be.
Meanwhile:
Taft was back tn Washington,
still saying it looked as if he might
be nominated on the first ballot.
Eisenhower was moving on Chi
cago by train, due Saturday. Asso
ciated Press Correspondent Don
Whitehead, traveling with him,
reported the general was mad
about the lickings his people have
been taking here and ready to
make a real fight upon his arrival.
Some supporters of Eisenhower,
Gov. Earl Warren of Califormnia
and former Governor Harold E.
Stassen of Minnesota were making
moves toward what could con
ceivably blossom into a stop-Taft
coalition,
For the moment, they were con
centrating on denouncing the Na
tional Committee’s decision to bar
televising of the delegate contests.
Fine's Remark
This temporary political capital
of the nation also was intrigued by
a remark Gov. John S. Fine of
Pennsylvania made on an NBC
television show last night. Al
though expressing the belief that
either Taft or Eisenhower will
walk off with the presidential
nomination, he added:
“I think Gen. Douglas Mac-
Arthur probably could unite the
forces of the Republican Party bet
ter than either Eisenhower or |
Taft.”
Fine's words find eager listeners
because of his influence in Penn
sylvania’s big delegation.
As for the Taft-Eisenhower
struggle, here’s how the Associat
ed Press tabulation counted their
delegates to date: .
Taft 510, e
Eisenhower 415. 604 is needed to
nominate.
The real fight, the one that’s
going on for keeps behind the
scenes here while the rival Texans
sound off in public, is over who
gets to vote on what on the con
vention floor.
Texans Steal Show
The Texans stole the show today,
however.
The National Committee gave
the rival delegations 90 minutes
apiece to state their case. But the
Texans weren’t waiting for the

Labor Board
Probes Charge
0f Conspiracy
BY ROWLAND EVANS, JR.
WASHINGTON, July 4.—
(AP)—The National Labor
Relations Board plans an im
mediate investigation of the
charges by striking CIO
steelworkers that major
steel producers have “enter
ed into a conspiracy” to pre
vent settlements with any
struck company unless the
Big Six agree.
President Truman made virtu
ally the same charge at a news
conference yesterday. He accused
the major steel companies of con
spiring to draw out the strike,
and said the situation does not
call for use of the Taft-Hartley
Act,
Truman indicated strongly he
did not plan to follow the request ‘
by Congress that he end the 32-
day work stoppage by asking the
courts for an 80-day injunctien
against the strike, as provided for
in the T-H law.
Industry spokesmen promptly
said Truman knew about the Yst
est union move before it was
made. They noted the timing of
the two coriments, and compared
the similarity of the wording.
Purpose of Confab
The union said, shortly after the
President’s news conference, that
the purpose of the alleged con
spiracy is to “prevent any one of
the Big Six companies or any
other smaller company from
reaching final agreement on a new
work contract.”
The six major comrpanies named
by the union are U. S. Steel, Beth
lehem, Republic, Jones & Laugh
lin, Youngstown Sheet and Tube,
and Inland. Together the¥ ro=
duce 70 percent of the tota '(? S.
output. ° il
A kesman for the six com~
péfii‘e?%ui&dy issued a statement
saying the union “apparently will
go to any length, ridiculous
though it may be, in its effort to
force employes in the steel indus
try to join the union.”
Union Demand
This referred to a union demand
for the union shop, a form of com

Millions On Holiday;
Korean War Still Grim
By The Associated Press
Americans by the millions took
a brief holiday from their normal
round of affairs today to celebrate
Independence Day with parades,
ceremonies and picnics,
U. S. citizens abroad, too, mark
ed the 176th anniversary of the
signing of the Declaration of In
dependence. But in Korea, the
grinr business of war went on as
usual for thousands of American
troops.
In a special message to U. 8.
Eighth Army men fending off re
newed Chinese attacks along the
shell torn battlefront, General
James A. Van Fleet declared:
“We continue the crusade of the
minute men of 1776 in the interest
of ‘life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness’.”
.~ Across the land, parades and
patriotic speeches were the order
of the day in the biggest cities
and the smallest towns.
‘The National Safety Council es
timated that some 90 million Am
ericans, riding in 40 mrillion cars,
would take to the highways during

lke Bases Hopes &
On GOP Revolt
By DON WHITHEAD '~
ABOARD THE EISENHOWER
SPECIAL EN ROUTE TO CHICA~
GO July 4,(AP)—Gen. Dwight D.
Eisenhower staked his presidential
hopes on a revolt by Republican
National Convention delegates
against the forces of Sen. Robert
A. Taft of Ohio, sk
The theme of revolt ran through
the speeches and talks of the gen
eral as he moved on Chicago for
the great battle of his short po~
litical career.
He pin-pointed it when he said:
“If I know the American people,
thig ruthlessness in Chicago will
boomerang.”
He was referring to the fact that
Taft backers had shut out televi
sion and radio broadcasts of de
legate disputes-and to the way in
which delegate decisions were go=
ing to his chief rival for the Re
publican presidential nomination.
Eisenhower was expected to
continue his bitter and angry as
saults on the Taft maneuvers as
his train rolled across lowa,
Television Appearance
Tonight, he was slated to gpear
on a television show NBC’s We the
People at 7:30 p. m., EST at Ames
lowa, and later to make a briei
talk in the Amesg football stadium.
He will arrive in Chicago tomor=
row at noon, EST.
All these occasstons afforded the
‘general new chances to continue
‘the barrage of criticism which he
fired at Taft all during the day
yesterday.
Departing from Denver, Eisen=
hower told a trainside erowd:
“There is a fight on in Chicago
not only a fight to name the can
didates, but just as important, a
fight to keep our party clean and
fit to lead our nation.
“I'm going to Chicago-as & sol
dier in the ranks-to have a hand
in that fight.”
Blistering Attack
A short time later, the general
made a blistering attack on Taft
forces, accusing them of using
“Iron Curtain” tactics to conceal
from the people the manner in
which disputed delegations were
being given convention seats.
Then, returning to the revolt
theme, he added: “I am firmly
‘convinced that an overwhelming
majority of the delegates to the
convention will refuse to allow
back-room schemings to control
the outcome of the convention.”
Last night in Lincoln he told a
large ecrowd at the steps of the
state capitol that events taking
place in Chicago now “are deci
sive for the Republican Wy-l
believe they are decisive the
future of our country.” 3
In this speech, he eased hii gt
tacks against Taft to concentrate
most of his fire against the Dem
ocratic administration which he
insists has been in power too long.
