Two Americans, 32 Others Aboard
Plane Kidnapped by North Koreans
TOKYO (N)-Communist North Korea announced last night it
is ready to free two Americans and any of the 32 others aboard a
kidnapped South Korean airliner..
A broadcast from the capital of Pyongyang said the two American
pilots and two West Germans would be turned over "at an appropriate
time" at the truce village of Panmunjom or some place inside North
Korea "mutually agreed upon."
The annotncement was a sharp reversal of the stand Pyongyang
took shortly after the plane landed two weeks ago near the North
Korean capital.
North Korea said then it would free those aboard only if the
South Korean government would negotiate for their release. Now,
"Pyongyang said it even would free

Mundt Cites
'Restraint'
By Kohler
Facts Show Unused
Company Weapons
WASHINGTON P)-Sen. Karl
Mundt (R-S.D.) said yesterday
"the most eloquent testimony"
about the guns and teai gas
bought by the Kohler Co. after its
employes were organized by the
United Auto Workers was that
none of it was used.
He told newsmen this reflected
to the credit of both the company
and the union during a bitter
strike, now nearly four years old,
in that it testified to "self restraint
on both sides."
Mundt is a member of the spe-
cial Senate Labor - Management
Rackets Committee that is investi-
gating the violence that has oc-
curred during United Auto Work-
ers' strike against the Kohler, Wis.,
plumbing fixtures company.
Told of Violence
In the first three days of the
hearings, to be resumed Monday
afternoon, the committee has re-
ceived testimony about mass
picketing by the union, various
acts of violence and vandalism,
and the company's purchase of
guns and ammunition.
Mundt said it was "too early to
draw conclusions," but Sen. Pat
McNamara (D - Mich.), another
committee meber, said in a,
separate interview he feels that
"so far the. company looks worse
than the union."~
McNamara also described the
hearings as "dull and not import-
ant," adding he was interested in
improper activities and racketeer-
ing but that these elements wer,
absent from the current inquiry.
Members Disagree
The hearings got under way
only after a battle among the com-
mittee members, evenly divided be-
tween Republicans and Democrats,
over procedure.
In the end the Republicans won
their fight to prevent Walter Reu-
ther, president of the United Auto
Workers, and Herbert Kohler, the
company president, from being
called as the lead-off witnesses.
They insisted on others being
heard first.
Robert Kennedy, the commit-
tee's counsel, said he hoped to call
Reuther and Kohler late next
week.
Mundt said he thought that
after another week's testimony
"we should have a clear idea of
the kind of questions" to direct to
the top officials of the union and
the company.
He said while there had been
testimony about vandalism and
acts of violence, the committee had
yet to pin down who was respon-
sible for it.

Top Buckeyes, 72-69
By JIM BENAGH
Glenn Davis beat everything Michigan had to offer last night
but he-couldn't overcome "lady luck," as the. Wolverines nipped the
Buckeye trackmen in the final event, 72-69, at Yost Field House.
Davis won four firsts in as many events when he lined up as
anchorman for the deciding event of the meet, the mile relay. OSU
had a 64-62 lead at the time.
But Ohio's leadoff runner, sophomore Dick Strayer, dropped his
baton at the start of his second lap after a battle for positions with
Michigan's Jim Simpson. The Buckeye quickly picked up his baton, but
--am Zariti i~
Prof. Nicholas D. Kazarinoff of
the mathematics department yes-
terday called Friday's State De-
partment announcement, that the
re-entry request of mathematician
Paul Erdos is under consideration,
the "first time" the government
has officially gone on record in
the case..
Erdos, a Hungarian-born expert
in number theory who came to
this country in 1938, requested re-
entry permission in 1954 when he
left the United States to travel in
Europe.
Permission was denied when the
Immigration Service in Detroit
claimed he planned to travel in
Russian - dominated countries of
Eastern Europe and that such a
trip was not in the best interests
of the United States.
Noting that Erdos "felt it was
the right of every citizen to go
anywhere. on this earth," Prof.
Kazarinoff added that Erdos went
abroad primarily to deliver an ad-
dress at the 1954 International
Congress of, Mathematicians in
Amsterdam..
Prof. Kazarinoff pointed out
that the American Mathematical
Society has retained a lawyer to
represent Erdos.

the damage was done: Michigan
gained a 30-yd. margin.
Falter in Relay
Twice this season, Ohio had bet-
tered the Wolverine quartet in
meets, and had recorded the best
mile relay time in the Big Ten-
until Michigan State opened up
with a 3:18.7 clocking today at
East Lansing.
Michigan's other relay members
feasted on Strayer's mishap and
breezed to then first victory of the
year. Bruce Fischer, Ernie Simms
and Don Matheson finished up the
relay unpressed--with a mediocre
3:24.2.
Ohio State coach Larry Snyder
immediately announced that his
team would not appear in Yost.
Field House again unless Michigan
adds an inside curb to its track,
claiming this was the reason for
Strayer's misfortune.
Strayer Becomes Confused
As he finished the first of his
two laps, Strayer became confused
and entered a hurdle lane, inside
of the prescribed running track.
When he came to the end of the
lane he had to pull up quickly.
Trying to get back to the running
track, he jostled with Simpson
and dropped his baton.
