LXII, No. 143 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, SUNDAY, APRIL 27, 1952 SIX PAGES Truce Talk 'Showdown Anticipated See Possibility Of Breakdown BULLETIN MUJNSAN, Korea, Sunday- (.)-The United Nations com- mand announced this morning that the full truce session scheduled for today had been cancelled at the request of the Allies. No reason for the cancellation was immediately available, The UN command also an- nounced that staff officers dis- cussing truce supervision would meet today. By JOHN HIGHTOWER WASHINGTON -e)- Korean truce talks reached the showdown stage this week-end. American officials and Allied diplomats agreed that a break- down of negotiations was entirely possible but hoped it could be avoided. Instructions given Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway, the United Nations Commander for Korea, were des- cribed as making clear that UN representatives at Panmunjon should avoid any action on their side to break off the talks. S S* AT THE SAME time it was clear that the United Nations' aim in the full-dress session at Panmun- ion Sunday (Korea Time) was to determine whether in the final showdown the Reds really want a truce and are willing to pay a price for it. A Communist rejection of the UN proposals or a reaction which demonstrated that key issues were hopelessly dead- locked would, some authorities believe, render the talks futile in the future, even though the two sides maintained contact and continued to exchange views Indefinitely. Advance reports from Tokyo tha Sunday's full dress session would be used by Vice Admiral C. Turner Joy, senior Allied truce delegate, to make bold new pro- posals generally were borne out by private information here. How- ever, the circumstances indicated the proposal would be more bold than new. The prisoner of war issue Is considered the key problem and the sharp rise and fall of opti- mism has resulted from develop- ments on this problem. After a number of secret ex- changes, the United Nations had gotten the Communists virtually to the point of agreement that not all Reds in United Nations hands would have to be forcibly returned to Communist control. But it was assumed by both sides that a very small number would violently re- sist forcible repatriation. U.S. Accuses Red China of Drug Warf are UNITED NATIONS, N.Y (1-i Communist China was charged yesterday with waging drug war- fare aimed at wrecking the health of American troops based in Japan. Harry J. Anslinger, U.S. Nar- cotics Commissioner, drew what he said was a clear pattern of Red Chinese and North Korean links with Japanese Communists to pro- duce and smuggle opium products, "push" them through streetwalk- ers and brothels and smash the resistance of U.S. soldiers by mak- ing them narcotics addicts. * * * HE NAMED as two powerful figures in the communist appara- tus Po I-Po, alias Heku Itsu-Pa, a Chinese in charge of the Central Financial and Economic Commit- tee in Peking, and Akira Ito, a Japanese stationed in Rashin, North Korea. Anslinger's information--com- piled from reports of his own undercover men in the Far East, from Japanese authorities and from arrested agents-will be presented formally to the UN Commission on Narcotic Drugs meeting here to check up on international narcotics treaty Court Decision White House Meeting with Railroad Settlement in Old Disputes Hoped WASHINGTON-(1P)-There were indications yesterday the Gov- ernment and the steel industry might have to wait until Tuesday or Wednesday to hear Judge David A. Pine's decision on legality of President Truman's steel seizure. * * * * THE JUDGE SAID when the historic trial opened he would "act very promptly," but he had hundreds of closely-spaced legal briefs to examine, along with the transcript of two days of arguments by Government and industry lawyers. These were packed with citations ** * Ford Tool, Die Makers Start Strike DETROIT -(p)- Tool and die workers at the Ford Rouge Plant went on strike yesterday, walking out on overtime work. Nearly 1,400 men quit. Regular civilian and defense production was not interfered with, a com- pany spokesman said. * * * HOWEVER, a representative of the craftsmen expressed uncer- tainty whether they would return to work tomorrow. A week's disciplinary layoff of one man was said to be at the bottom of the dispute. Also represented as part of the picture was the continuing dis- satisfaction of tool and die men with,refusal of the Wage Stabili- zation Board - (WSB) to recom- mend a wage increase. * s THE WAGE INCREASE issue has been on the fire for six months. The tool and die men are members of the CIO United Auto Workers Union. On March 15 the international union seized control of Ford Rouge Local 600, charging its top offi- cers bowed to Influence of Com- munists. Ofrom U.S. court decisions which opposing counsel hope will influ- ence the judge's decision. Meanwhile, a House Commit- tee Investigating the hot steel controversy sought the views of former Defense Mobilizer Charles E. Wilson, a central fig- ure in the dispute last month. Wilson resigned his top mobili- zation post after accusing Tru- man of changing his mind about granting the industry a price boost as at least a partial off- set against wage and other bene- fits recommended by the Wage Stabilization Board. *: * * MEANWHILE a major effort to settle the two-year old dispute be- tween the nation's seized railroads and three big rail unions is under- way at the White House and Pres- ilential assistant John R. Steel- man said he is "somewhat encour- aged." Steelman, acting Defense Mobi- lizer and President Truman's top labor mediator, said through a spokesman he had been meeting separately "for the last several days" with labor and management officials. But informed sources said Steelman called his first meetings more than two weeks ago. They predicted a settlement might not be far off. More meet- ings were called for last night. Truman seized the nation's major railroads in August, 1950, to choke off a threatened strike. Still involved in the fight over a new contract are three of the four big operating unions-the engi- neers, the conductors and the firemen-with a total membership of slightly more than 150,000. Elizabeth I? PERTH, Scotland-OP--Scot- tish Nationalists stubbornly re- newed their demands today that Queen Elizabeth II drop the HI from her title. She's Elizabeth I-not I-as far as Scotland is concerned, the Scottish National Party in- sisted. It delved 400 years Into history to support its claim that the first Queen Elizabeth, who ruled in the 16th Century, had nothing to do with Scotland, then independent from Eng- land. The National Party said in a resolution the present Queen's title was "deliberately offensive to all Scots who have the slightest regard for the history and traditions of their coun- try." The party claims more than 100,000 members. It de- mands an end to 245 years of union with Britain. On Feb. 20, the Rolls of the Court Session, Scotland's Su- preme Court, had announced that the Queen is Elizabeth II in Scotland as well as in Eng- land. Williams Says No to Used Car Tax Law Calls Bill Plot To Cut Needed School Funds LANSING-(!P)-Gov. G. Men- nen Williams vetoed the Higgins Used Car Tax Bill late today-a measure Republicans had counted on to raise $12,000,000 annually for the State general fund. The measure, originated by Senator George N. Higgins (R- Ferndale) imposed a tax on used car title transfers in place of the present sales tax. "THIS IS JUST another sub- terfuge to take needed revenues from the schools by changing the name of the sales tax," Williams said. "Local units would get less than under the present sales tax." The veto was seen sure to arouse Republican legislators for a drive to override the Governor when the Legislature reconvenes May 1 to consider appropria- tions for the State Prison of Southern Michigan. Williams said in his veto mes- sage that he doubted the consti- tutionality of the bill on two counts. He declared it could be challenged on the grounds that it took sales tax funds away from the schools and municipalities and also because it might clash with a provision that all motor vehicle tax money must go to the high- way fund. Group To Hail IsraeliBirth Four years ago, spontaneous singing and dancing in the streets of Israel broke loose as a new state was proclamed. A quieter celebration will take place in observance of Israel's fourth aniversary at 7:30 pm. to- day in the League. Prof. Preston W. Slosson of the history depart- ment will be the principal speaker. Mordecai Krenin, an Israeli student who participated in the war of independence of Israeli, will relate some of his experiences. A film on the progress of Israel will be shown, with entertainment provided by a group singing Israel folk songs.

Frisbie re- ported last night that Vernon Fox has been relieved of his duties as assistant deputy warden of riot- damaged Southern Michigan prison. Thus the man who was credited last Thursday with saving the lives of eight hostage guards in the Jackson outbreak found'himself the "goat" rather than the hero of.the long siege. * * * IN AN 'EXCLUSIVE telephone interview with The Daily shortly after his "transfer outside the walls" was announced, Fox said he was completely dumbfounded over the dismissal. He reiterated his explanation that the so-alled "congratulatory" message that he had read to the mutineers on Thursday had been completely misinterpreted by the press. Fox said that his statement which called mutineer boss Earl Ward "a natural leader" and which said the rebels "had done a service" was the final step in his "psychological campaign" to secure the release of the hos- tages. He emphasized that this speech was given before the mu- tiny ended and was intended only as a device to accomplish that end. The only reason he had con- gratulated the rebels, he said, was because they had surrendered twenty hours earlier than origin- ally planned. He said that he cer- tainly did not condone any of the actions of the rioters, and had described Ward "as a natural lead- er" only as a final note of flattery in order to end the mutiny. He also said that in signing the pact forbidding reprisals against the mutineers, he realized that he spoke only for the Cor- rections Commission. Attorney- General Frank C. Millard has since promised prosecution of the rebels f or their violations during the out- break. + * s BOTH EARL WARD and "Crazy Jack" Hyatt, inmate leaders, have been in separate solitary-confine- ment cells since the mutiny ended Thursday. Pressure had gathered all day Friday while Fox rested after his sleepless service at the prison during the 93-hour riot. Audi- tor-General John Martin, Jr., Ex-governor Kim Sigler, Sidney M. Smith, corrections officer at Ionia, and others issued bitterly denunciatory statements against Fox for what was called the breaking down of "prison disci- pline" in Michigan. After the Detroit Free Press asked editorially that "Fox should be fired," Governor G. Mennen Williams added a rebuke for the deputy's "highly improper" use of language in his statement.

SCORE FIRST PLACE TIE: By BOB LANDOWNE Wolverine hurlers Jack Corbett and Mary Wisniewski held a high- ly touted Ohio State nine in check all afternoon to give Michigan a neat double victory yesterday. Wisniewski, a 17 year-old De- troit freshman, chalked up a mas- terful one-hit 3-0 shutout in the seven inning nightcap, while Cor- Chi Phis, Kappa Kasino Tak( Top Booth Prize By ERIC VETTER A photo finish in the Michigras booth contest last night resulted in a tie for first place between the Chi Phi's "Hall of Wonders" and the Kappa Kappa Gamma-Kappa Sigma sideshow "Kappa Kasino."

THE CARNIVAL closed its riotous weekend before a packed field house. Crowd estimates ran slightly higher than those for the 1950 show.

Receipts for the two day stand are also expected to set a record. Final figures will not be available until sometime today but early figures indicated a new total might be set. bett grabbed an easy 15-3 victory in the first game of the double- header.

Righthander Paul Williams of OSU went the distance for the defeat, yielding single tallies in the third, fifth and sixth inn- ings. Bill Mogk led the Wolverine attack in the second game with three hits, one a booming triple. He also singled home Bruce Hay- nam from second to break a scoreless tie in the third.
