KOREA -- A United Nations
agency yesterday urged President
Syngman Rhee to end his martial
law decree, but the aged Korean
leader' intensified his feud with
the- national assembly.
-An hour after the UN agency's
attempt at intervention was re-
ported, Rhee issued a statement
charging some members of the
assembly (Congress) with trying
"to grab political power by in-
trigue."
Meanwhile in Munsan, Com-
munist truce negotiations yes-
terday abruptly dropped their
threat of an offensive in Korea
but kept up a drumfire of charg-
es that the Allies "massacre",
prisoners.
WASHINGTON-President Tru-
man yesterday vetoed a bill giving
the coastal states ownership of
oil-rich lands beneath the marg-
inal seas within the three-mile
limit.
"I see no good reason for the
Federal Government to make an
outright gift, for the benefit of
a few coastal states, of property
interests worth billions of dol-
lars-property interests which
belong to 155 million people," he
aid in a 4,000-word message re-
turning' the legislation to the
Senate.
TOKYO-Some 25,00 metro-
politan police with wooden shields
and a unit of American military
guards with fixed bayonets were
mobilized for an expected out-
break of Communist demonstra-
tions today.
National police were alerted
for outbreaks in other parts of
Japan.
Police said the Reds planned a
show of strength in observance of
"martyrs day," anniversary of
Communist demonstrations in the
Far East.

WASHINGTON - Two former
Communists, Whittaker Chambers
and Elizabeth Bentley, testified
yesterday 'that they think Red
agents still are at work within the
government, trying to steal vital
secrets.
ITHACA, N.Y. - Twenty-five
Cornell students today awaited
possible disciplinary action after
they apologized forseizing a Uni-
versity radio station last night
and broadcasting fake reports of
bombings in European cities.
The fake bulletins, which also
said an air armada was nearing
America, resulted in some cases
of "fainting and hysteria" in the
women's dormitories, according to
Ellis Deull of Atlantic City, N.J.,
student business manager of the
station.
WASHINGTON-President Tru-
man made it plain today he'll
fight to the end for the full $59,-
900,000,000 Defense-and-Foreign-
Aid Budget which Congress seems
determined to whittle by millions.
Truman also disclosed, at a
news conference full of no-com-
ments, that he'll see Gen. Dwight
D. Eisenhower at the White House
immediately after the general's re-
turn from Europe Sunday.

Union 'Opera Run Changed
From Spring to Christmas
By BOB APPLE
The dreams of Pat Heck, '53,
Union Opera general chairman
and his cohorts came true yester-
day as the Union Board of Direc-
tors approved plans for changing
the time of the Opera from spring
vacation to Christmas time.
This means the show will play
in Ann Arbor on Dec. 10 through
12 and then go on the road from
Dec. 26 to Jan. 3, 1953.
Publicity chairman Harry Blum,
'54, announced that the Opera is

TO Discuss
Lecture Bant
Responding to a petition signed
by 75 members of the Literary
College faculty, Dean Burton D.
Thuma has called a meeting of
the college staff for Monday, June

Dean Thuma declined to com-
ment on any action that might
be taken as a result of the meet.
ing.
The highly controversial Re-1
gents by-law establishing control
over speakers invited to the cam-
pus by student and faculty groups'
has been invoked by the University
lecture committee four times dur-
ing the past semester.
Beginning with Abner Greene,
of the American Committee for
the Protection of the Foreign Born,
and Arthur McPhaul, executive
secretary of the Civil Rights Con-
gress, the lecture committee suc-
cessively barred William Hood, of
Ford Local 600 and most recently
Mrs. Anne Shore, organizational
director of the Civil Rights Con-
gress.
Both McPhaul and Mrs. Shorej
did pPear publicly in Ann Arbor,
howe er. McPhaul spoke at a pri-
vate dinner held March 7 in the
Union. Mrs. Shore appeared in an
off campus debate on genocide
with Prof. Preston Slosson of the
history department.
SL has recently taken a stand
on the issue, voting to request the
Board of Regents to liberalize the
bylaw concerning speakers.
now in the process of organizing
a more extensive road tour. Be-
sides hitting Flint, Detroit, Toledo
and Buffalo, Blum said they are
also planning to play at other
mid-western cities, including pos-
sibly Chicago and Cleveland.

OPERA'S GENERAL secretary,
Mike Scherer, '54, stated that by
scheduling the tour for Christmas
vacation the Opera's executive
board feels they will eliminate
many of the conflicts which pre-
vailed in the past. Among the dif-
ficulties were the migration of
many prospective Opera-goers to
Florida during spring vacation
and the occurrence of religious
holidays, Scherer concluded.
Heck said "We already have
10 scenarios submitted for next
year, but we're looking for
more," he stated. "Keeping the
action moving, the chorus kick,
ing and the audience laughing,"
he advised scenario writers.
Scripts should be turned in at
the Union desk before June 16.
The lucky winner will see the
script put into action in various
Midwestern cities under the direc-
tion of Fred Evans, imported New
York director.
He will also have his name ap-
pear in many of the leading news-
papers in these cities and travel
with the Opera.
"And don't forget," concluded
Heck, "that we need tryouts for
our cast. Aspirants for the line or
leads can sign up with the Opera
starting the second week of next
semester."
Those who are chosen will have
expenses paid by the Opera while
on tour. This includes room and
board and refreshments enroute
and at the cities where the show
is put on and attending parties
thrown by each city's alumni club
after each performance.

Berlin,uPris
Communists
StageRiots
Reds Continue
War of Nerves
BERLIN -(A')- Fifteen thou-
sand Comunists, surging in from
the Russian zone for an anti-
western demonstration, touched
off a savage clash with West Ber-
lin police yesterday in a growing
war of nerves.
Club-swinging police wounded
hundreds of the invaders, arrested
300 and broke up the demonstra-
tion after an hour of milling in
the downtown borough of Kreuz-
berg, in the American sector.
Tear gas squads were ready,
but were never needed. There was
no gunfire.
The Communist pattern of
trouble-making was as clear, how-
ever, as it was in the anti-western
rioting in Paris less than 24 hours
before.
* * *
THE FRENCH Red boss, Jacques
Duclos, was charged in Paris yes-
terday with plotting against the
internal security of France by in-
citing riots as a front for Red
revolution. His labor supporters
called a strike. The ostensible tar-
get of the French demonstrations
was Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway,
who succeeds Gen. Ddight D. Eis-
enhower today as Supreme Com-
mander of the North Atlantic
Alliance.
Berlin is a convenient target
in the Communist fight against
NATO and related pactslining
up West Germans with the West.
The riot was set off by a group
of a thousand brawny Communists
distributing leaflets denouncing
West Germany's newly signed
peace contract with the allies and
calling for German unity, Soviet
style.
After a series of short but sharp
brawls with highly trained West
Berlin police platoons, the row-
dies were shoved into side streets
and dispersed. Most of the other
demonstrators, teen-age youths,
kept out of the fight.
Reports that 25,000 strongarm
men had been ordered into other
areas in the United States, British
and French sectors kept police on
the alert, but proved unfounded.
The rioting was timed with a
visit of British foreign secretary
Anthony Eden, who told West
Berlin's Parliament and people
to stand firm.
Barkley Bids
For Party's
Nomination
By The Associated Press
Vice president Alben W. Bark-
ley, veteran of 39 years in Con-
gress and renowned stump speak-
er, today became the sixth
avowed candidate for the Demo-
cratic presidential nomination.
He issued a brief statement that
he would accept the nomination if
tendered.
The 74 year old Kentuckian
thus said what he had been on
the verge of saying ever since
President Truman took himself
out of the running March 29.
Barkley's entry scrambled the
race for the top prize in his
party into a bigger omelet than
ever. He also made it difficult
for the President to pick a pre-
convention favorite if he desires
to do so. Including Barkley sev-
eral close friends of Truman are
now avowed or strongly poten-
tial candidates.
Barkley opened his announce-
ment by thanking Kentucky Dem-
ocrats that endorsed him for Pres-
ident.

,Red POW's
Killed in
Disturbancve
KOJE ISLAND, Korea, Friday,
May 30--AP)-Five prisoners were
killed and 17 were injured in new
outbreaks yesterday and today in
the stormy Koje Island allied
stockade and in a Korean main-
land compound at Yongchon.
Two North Korean prisoners of
war were killed and two others
were wounded today when a work
party attacked two American and
two South Korean guards.
Another prisoner was killed and
a second wounded at Koje in the
accidental discharge of a guard's
machinegun.
** *
THIS FOLLOWED after about
100 Allied troops with bayonet
and tear gas had raided an unruly
compound containing 3,350 tou.gh
Red prisoners, destroying their
headquarters, and emerged with
Red flags and knives without spill-
ing a drop of blood.
It was the first big show of
force inside ay of the 1 com-
pounds since disorders flared
early in May on this South Kor-
ean island wher 80,000 pris-
oners of war are held.
Two hours later, a U.S. soldier
guard taking his position in a
tower accidentally discharged his
automatic rifle into the seething
compound, killing one prisoner
and wounding another.
The trouble had begun when
guards spotted Red prisoners try-
ing to chop a hole through an
inner barbed wire fence that bars
the way to an area-way leading
to the outer gate.
AUTHORITIES emphasized that
the show of force in compound 66
was not part of the planned move-
ment of prisoners to smaller com-
pounds.
This movement is expected to
come in about a week, and a
showdown is likely then.
Meanwhile, at the front, two
North Korean companies today
renewed a month-long assault for
a dominant East Korean peak
dubbed by the GI's who hold it,
"Luke the Gook's Castle." Allied
forces beat the Communists off
after four houres of intense fight-
ing.
Ground action elsewhere along
the front was minor.
HST Requests
Atomic Funds
WASHINGTON-(A)--President
Truman' asked Congress yesterday
to vote more than three and a
third billion dollars to step-up the
nation's atomic weapons program.
He said the money would pro-
vide for a "major further expan-
sion" over a five-year period.
"The national security and the
security of the free world," Tru-
man said in letters to Congression-
al leaders, "demand that we main-
tain and increase our leadership
in this field.
The President gave no details
of the projected $3,341,000,000 ex-
pansion, saying only that it would
"provide greater capacity for the
production of fissionable mater-
ials and for the fabrication of such
materials into atomic weapons."
