"peaceful means."

Movie Ticket
Tax Repeal
Suggests Overall
Cut in January
WASHINGTON -- () - Presi-
dent Eisenhower yesterday vetoed
a bill to repeal the 20 per cent
federal tax on movie tickets, but
promised to ask Congress for a re-
duction in the admissions levy next
January.
* * *
THE President's action blasted
the hopes of film industry officials
who had contended that if the
movie tax were allowed to die-as
approved by Congress-it would
save about 5,000 theaters a year
from going out of business.
Movie spokesmen generally
blamed the swift growth of tele-
vision for distress in their in-
dustry.
The President's veto narked the
first time he has refused to ap-
prove a major piece of legislation.
Declaring that the repeal mea-
ure would cost the U.S. Treasury
at least 100 million dollars a year,
Eisenhower said in "memorandum
of disapproval";
"WE CANNOT afford the loss of
revenue, and it is unfair to single
out one industry for tax relief at
this time."
The President also noted that
even if he signed the repeal bill
into law, many movie patrons gen-
erally would not benefit through
lower admission prices through the
tax cut-off.
Many theater executives had al-
ready indicated they planned to
hike admission prices to the pres-
ent admission-plus-tax level - if
Eisenhower signed the bill. They
said this would save them from
,ruin.
Skipper Cited

According to authorities, a
report on the sinking, compiled
by a Coast Guard board of in-

Nearing Agreement
Reds Exchange
100 Allied POWs
Ninety GIs Scheduled for Release;
Freed Americans Appear Healthy

In a smooth operation that clicked along well ahead of schedule,
the Communists yesterday handed over 100 Allied Prisoners of war,
including 25 Americans and 25 British, in 24 minutes.
The other 50 were South Koreans.
THEY WERE the vanguard of 400 prisoners promised in today's
return, including 90 Americans, 25 British, 35 Turks, 12 Filipinos, 7
Ifolombians and 250 Sduth Koreans.
The Americans and British appeared to be in good shape, in

quest of peace; and to strengthen
all other peoples who share with
us that faith and that quest."
Eisenhower ticked off a dozen
actions of Congress and said they
seem bewildering at first glance.
Yet, he said, they have been
the result of exhaustive work
and careful planning in accord-
ance with a clearly defined pur-
pose.
Eisenhower said it was sense
and honesty which dictated a de-1
lay in the lowering or removing
taxes in a critical time of transi-
tion. He said the revenue was es-
sential "if the tide of debt is to be
turned."
"WE DID not delay," he said, "in
cutting deep into governmental ex-
penditures."
He said the administration isf
striving to bring the budget un-
der control, because every fam-
ily in the land is vitally affected
by the budgets' influence on theE
buying power of -the dollar.
In the field of foreign relations,
Eisenhower said that the Korean
truce has produced "two precious
victories."
* * *
FIRST, he said, it has been
shown that the free world can andn
will meet aggression in Asia-"orn
anywhere in the world."n
Second, he said, we' have wone
the chance to show that free
people can build in peace ast
boldly as they fight in war.
Eisenhowerwent back to the b
State of the Union message he de-
livered to Congress six months ago p
to describe the major purposes of p
his administration and then to re- a
port, as he sees it, what is being a
done to carry out these purposes. s
Go All Out
If, Armistice'
Fails -- Clark'
WASHINGTON - (P) - Gen.
Mark W. Clark said yesterday that
if the Communists break the truce
in Korea he would favor using
"any and every weapon" in the
nation's arsenal to strike back at
them.
Clark did not specifically men-
tion atomic weapons, but presum-
ably his words would cover such
weapons.
* * *
THE FOUR-STAR general, soon
to retire as supreme Allied com-
mander in the Far East, made the
statement at a Pentagon news
conference.
Clark expressed neither exal-
tation for the truce he signed
nor much beyond a glimmer of
hope for the recovery of all Al-
lied prisoners who fell into en-
emy hands during the 37-month
Korean War.
He said he had been "directed"
to get and sign an armistice. As
for POW's he expressed belief that
the Reds hold 2,000 or 3.000 more
Americans and "thousands upon
thousands" more South Koreans
than the Communists agreed to ex-
change under the truce terms.
SPEAKING with disciplined
military restraint, the 57-year-old
veteran of both world wars had
this to say about any renewal of
hostilities:
"If the enemy breaks the ar-I
mistice, he might not find him-
self fighting under restrictions
imposed upon the United Nations
command in the past."
This was a reference to high-
evel restrictions designed to pre-
vent the Korean War from devel-
oping into World War III. Among
other things, Allied planes were
barred from striking at enemy
bases across the Korean border in
Chinese Manchuria and Allied
warships were not used to block-
ade Red China.
Clark said he plans to return to
Tokyo in a few days to wind up
is command before retiring from
he Army at the end of October.

Hope Wanes
For Airmen
Lost at Sea
LONDON - (R) - Time was
running short yesterday for 14
American airmen missing in the
storm-lashed North Atlantic since
their 10-engine reconnaissance
bomber crashed before dawn Wed-
nesday.
Hopes for their survival dimmed
among sea and air searchers.
FOUR of the giant craft's 23
crewmen have been found alive
by ships directed to the area of
the crash 500 miles south of Ice-
land and 300 to 500 miles west
of Ireland.
The bodies of five others were
recovered from windswept waves
that reached 15 feet in height.
The survivors and the recovered
bodies were being carried back to
British ports.
The 180-ton RB36-sister to the
atom bomb carrying B36-was on
a training flight to England from
Travis Field, Calif., when it was
fatally crippled by an engine fire.

ghies, rafts or in 32-foot lifeboats
dropped by the rescue crafts.
KOJE ISLAND, Korea - (AP) -
United Nations guards quelled with
rifle fire and gas three riots by 12,-
000 North Korean prisoners who
demonstrated Wednesday as their
compounds were being emptied for
the big armistice exchange.
The UN Prisoner of War Com-
mand said yesterday one prisoner
had been killed and four had been
killed and four had been wounded.
NONE of the Allied guards was
injured.
There were three "eve of free-
dom" riots in the North Korean
'compounds on this big prisoner is-
land off Southeast Korea, the POW
Command said.
The casualties all came in the
first, which was put down with
rifle fire and tear and vomiting
gas. Guards quelled the other
two demonstrations with gas
alone.
Chanting, screaming North Ko-
reans threw rocks and barricaded
themselves in their compounds. In
one case they attacked a UN guard
with a board.

KILLINS SAID his fund raising
campaign to purchase a resus-

However, its continuation will de-
pend on decisions reached by the
Board of Supervisors Tuesday at
their August meeting.
According to Killins the county
is in a more advantageous posi-
tion to furnish the machines than
private citizens since it is able to
administer the resuscitator service
more readily.
If the Board decides to purchase
the machines the money previous-
ly collected will be returned to con-

National Roundup
By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON - The Marine Corps announced yesterday that
it is planning to stretch out the tour of duty for -its men in Korea, in
view of the truce, from 11 to 14 months.
Gen. Lemuel C. Shepherd, Jr. corps commandant, said in a
statement, by about March, 1954, it is anticipated that most Marines
will be serving on 14 months tour in Korea.
A 16 months tour may finally be established if necessary, he said.
The Army has also announced it will lengthen its tour of duty
of some told of malnutrition. Some
wore dirty gauze masks, the sign
of tuberculosis. One was suffer-
ing from influenza.

MANY HAD TO be helped from
the trucks.
One South Korean muttered a
few sullen words to a nearby Red
Korean officer before he was help-
ed away.
As the freed Allied prisoners
moved along to the comforts
awaiting them, long lines of
Chinese and Korean Red pris-
oners were going back to their
Communist homelands.
Prisoners returned to the Allies
Side in the past two days told of
torture and mistreatment by their
red captors.
WITH THE RETURN of Fri
day's 300, the Reds will have given
back 1,192 of the nearly 13,000
Allied prisoners they said they
hold. A total of 221 of the 3,313
Americans named on- the Com-
munist list will have returned.
With yesterday's scheduled
turnover of 2,752 North Korean
and Chinese war prisoners at
Panmunjom, the Allies will have
returned a total of more than
8,000 of the approximately 74,-
000 Red prisoners held in UN
camps.
A story of fire and ice torture
,by his North Korean captors was
told by Lt. Col. Thomas D. Har-
rison, a jet fighter-bomber pilot,
of ,Clovis, N. M.
HARRISON, second cousin of
Lt. Gen. William K. Harrison, the
,senior Allied armistice negotiator,
hobbled across the freedom line
at Panmunjom on crutches,..minus
his left leg. He lost the leg as the
result of injuries when his plane
was knocked down by Red anti-
aircraft fire May 21, 1951.
Lt. Samuel E. Massinberg, a
B29 co-pilot from Detroit, said "I
understand communism now - I
hate it more" as the result of his
treatment by the Reds. He bailed
out of his plane after it was down-
ed by a Red MIG jet last Jan. 11.

The secret of Gandhi's magnetic
personality lay not in the power of
action behind him, but in his char-
acter, according to Prof. Amiya
Chakravarty, visiting professor of
English from India.
Speaking last night to the Stu-
dent Religious Association and the
Committee for Student Fellowship
of Reconciliation, Prof. Chakra-
varty explained Gandhi's was a
character "built up by a man who
puts one brick on top of another
to create an astounding structure."

THE INDIAN professor noted
Gandhi started with very little in
the way of physical assets and con-
structed a very powerful inner
tion of a lifetime," the professor
indicated.
GANDHI succeeded in quieting
the expressions of mob violence in
India "because he was willing to
suffer with both sides," according
to Prof. Chakravarty.
Contrary to certain sociologi-
cal principles, Gandhi felt the
crowd doesn't behave according
to the lowest common denomi-
nator, but depends on the qual-
ities of leadership, the profes-
sor continued.
He stopped leading when some-
thing was wrong, "unlike a dic-
tator who is expected to be infal-
lible." he noted.
