Nehru Asks UN Meeting About Korea U.S. Meets Rhee, Discusses Truce UNITED NATIONS, N. Y.-OP) -Prime Minister Nehru of India yesterday called for a full meet- ing of the UN General Assemb very soon to deal with Korea and President Syngman Rhee, but ran into firm opposition from the United States. Nehru's call was cabled from Cairo to Canadian Foreign Secre- tary Lester B. Pearson, president of the 60-nation Assembly. INFORMED OF this unexpected turn on the Korean muddle, U. S. Chief Delegate Henry Cabot Lodge Jr., said: "Frankly, I can not imagine anything which would more surely prejudice the efforts now being made to bring about an armistice." Meanwhile in Korea, President Eisenhower's special emissary and defiant President Syngman Rhee met Thursday in a fateful session that could determine whether a truce will be achieved in Korea. * * * WALTER S. Robertson, assist- ant secretary of state for Far East- ern affairs, delivered to the dough- ty, 78-year-old chief executive an urgent secret message from the U. S. Administration. Rhee showed little sign of ending his strong opposition to an armistice, telling 500,000 cheering South Koreans at a Seoul rally yesterday that they must be ready to fight to the death if a truce on present terms is signed. He is demanding unification of Korea or continued warfare. Robertson also brought a secret note for Rhee from Secretary of State Dulles. Mum on the contents of his messages, he told newsmen on his arrival he was seeking "to achieve not only peace with honor-but also a free, united, independent Korea." Rhee told the cheering Seoul rally Thursday "we will have to face death" if the armistice, which almost reached the signing stage last week, is accepted. Citizens Seek Resuscitator Ann Arbor citizens made strong appeals to the local board of Su- pervisors for the purchase of a new r-esuscitator for Washtenaw coun- ty yesterday. The requests reached a climax as a result of the drowning of an Ann " Arbor youngster in the Huron riv- er last week. Neighbors of the boy stated that his life might have been saved had there been no delay in getting a resuscitator to the scene. Others report that the delay was no long- er than the usual time needed to transport the machine to the site of an accident. Commenting on the present sys- tem of handling drownings, Sher- iff John L. Osborn reports that the city resuscitator is kept at St. Joseph's Mercy Hospital, and sent for in an emergency. The reason for storing it at the hospital is because trained men are present who will accompany the machine t. and police to the scene of an ac- cident. Power Bill Debate Looms WASHINGTON-(P)-The Sen- ate did initial work yesterday on the Interior Department money bill-but postponed until today what may develop into a major debate on federal power policies. Sen. Magnuson (D-Wash.) said he and several other senators ex- pected to have "something to say" on broad policy questions relating to sale of power generated at gov- ernment dams. In one major decision yester- day on the $451,256,940 bill recom- mended by the Appropriations Commitee, the Senate refused to whittle funds for reclamation construction by 12 million dollars.

Rain storms struck the Ann Ar- bor area at 4:15 p.m. and de- luged it with water. Trees and power lines were blown down in Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti. Winds reached gusts of 75 miles an hour at Willow Run Airport. Planes were grounded until the storm passed. The Whitmore Lake area, ten miles north of Ann Arbor, was also hit by strong winds ranging from 50 to 70 miles an hour. Michigan Bell, Detroit Edison and Consumers Power all reported trouble with fallen transmission lines. The storm moved into Detroit from the West causing tornado fright and extensive fire damage. At 11 p.m. last night, the storm was reported moving over Pitts- burgh, Pa. in the kitchen, living room and dining room. In a blaze of glory all three rooms were relit together for the final demonstration. The four fires together were quenched with 107 gallons of water. Emmett Cox, director of the demonstration said "at con- servative estimate" more than 5,000 gallons would have been necessary using the familiar di- rect stream methods. Cox emphasized the significance of the small amount of water used. "Most rural departments are vol- unteer organizations with trucks carrying an average of 450 gal- lons," he said. "The tremendous value of a means of fighting fire with small amounts .of water is evident." * * * FOUR THERMOCOUPLES plac- eo inside at strategic places allow- ed the firemen to record the in- side temperature.

The blaze was quench- ed in 11 seconds and with four gallons of water. The experiment was repeated in the dining and living rooms. Observers could hear glass breaking as shelves dropped their contents and the heat rose, but these fires were also quickly quenched. Firemen then set afire all three rooms, and let the fire reach the second floor before they attacked the building from both front and back using the fog equipment. * * * THE FOG system sends the water out in a fine spray which World News By The Associated Press WASHINGTON - The Justice Department said yesterday Atty.

East German; Head. Fights To Save Job BERLIN-(3)-East Germany's Prime Minister Otto Grotewohl, reported on the Soviet purge list because of the worker rebellion in his puppet state, heaped most of the blame yesterday on his under- lings-the "little gods" in the Red offices of town and county. In an apparently frantic fight to stay in office, the Communist Premier stumped through the in- dustrial centers of the Soviet-oc- cupied zone to try to patch togeth- er the shattered remains of hisI government's prestige, saved now only by Soviet martial law. ' THE WEST Berlin newspaper, Der Abend, predicted that Grotew-! ohl would be replaced by Hermann Kastner, a former chairman of the Liberal Democratic party - but only after the two million workers who revolted throughout the East Zone last week have been cowed sufficiently to permit the lifting of martial law. Trying to shift the blame to local bosses for the ruinous up- rising, Grotewohl claimed 90 per cent of those who have fled Red persecution in East Germany would return In an attempt to show they are winning the workers' favor, the Communist party bosses decided to try a somewhat risky experiment, today. They invited workers from three big East Berlin boroughs to a public rally in support of the new program. transport planes at Willow Run wer * * *4 KF Workers Await News Of. Contracts Tension caused by the uncer- tainty of continued employment' was countered by scattered opti- mism among employes at the Wil- low Run Kaiser Motors plant yes- terday, as a result of the com- pany's broken aircraft contracts by the Air Force. Involving more than 12,000j workers, a possible lay-off hinges entirely on Henry J. Kaiser's dis- cussion with government and Air Force officials being held in Wash- ington now. * * * ACCORDING to an Ypsilanti spokesman for Local 142, Kaiser Motors union in Wayne and Wash- tenaw counties, laborers have re- ceived no word of possible term- ination of plant contracts with the Air Force other than through the newspapers, and that until Kaiser sends official word, no drastic action is being taken by the unions. However, a mass meeting is being called for Sunday at which the union members will discuss plans for immediate ac- tion. An employe in the air- craft division said that the "whole security" of laborers at the plant is at stake, and that "black looks are being cast at the Republicans." To add to the threat of mass unemployment, 2,200 employes in the automotive division are vic- tims of a lay-off starting today. Optimism still ruled where they were concerned, and they were assured of finding employment in near-by Wayne county automotive factories. Some of them will automatically be absorbed in the aircraft industry. Meanwhile, restaurant and drive-in owners along the Michi- gan Expressway between Ypsilanti and the Willow Run plant looked gloomily ahead to a possible end of their businesses if the plant does reduce production to the manufacture of automobiles. Willow Villagers remarked that, although the announcement of mass lay-off was a political blow, it will "all blow over." They seem to be confident that Kaiser Mo- tors will be given other aircraft contracts, and that production will continue along present lines with- out any serious mishaps. So far, only a few scattered workers have resigned their positions at Kaiser to look for employment elsewhere. re cancelled Wednesday. > The decision to cancel was described by theAir Force as "completely independent" of current Senate hearings at which it has been testified that it cost $1,347,000 to build a C- 119 "Flying Boxcar" at Willow Run, compared with $265,000 charged by the Fairchild Air- craft Company at Hagerstown, Md. The three Michigan legislators made public a letter to Talbott in which they noted that 12,0001 trained workers are available at Willow Run, in addition to tools and plant facilities. They said shifting the contract elsewhere might result in "wasteful cost of duplicate facilities." . Sec. Talbott, in a telegram to Gov. Williams of Michigan and Edyard F. Cote, director of the Kaiser department of the United Automobile Workers (CIO), said: "The air force regrets that in its judgment it is necessary to ter-' ininate the contract for air craft production at Willow Run. It will take some time to complete the planes now in final stages of as- sembly. There may be a short pe- riod of shut down while the Air Force and Kaiser representatives work out details for an efficient termination procedure. "I regret exceedingly the unem- ployment this action may cause in the Detroit area but I am most hopeful that termination proce- dure may be accomplished grad- ually so as to permit individual employes to find substitute em- ployment in other Detroit indus- N vew Secret Weapons Told WASHINGTON-(P)-An arse- nal of new Army weapons was disclosed yesterday, including a powerful tank-killer gun called "The Bat" and shells to give the atomic canon greater range. Taken aback by the disclosures about weapons it considered se- cret, the Army started an informal inquiry to find out how the care- fully guarded details strayed into the official, published transcript of hearings before a House appro- priations subcommittee. The Defense Department, which a few weeks ago had issued a crackdown order on accidental leaks of secrets, apparently was waiting to hear what Army off i- cials learned about the matter. There was no disposition by Army officials to place responsi- bility on the House subcommittee. It was explained that the Army itself assumes the responsibility for advising a committee of what testimony should be eliminated. Battle Begins Fourth Year Of Fighting Tosns Hit UN and ROKs -SEOUL - () - More than 13,- 000 Chinese Reds hit the Western and Eastern Korean Fronts early yesterday and, in both sectors, furious fighting raged unabated after daybreak. The assaults by some 10,000 Communists on one of the old in- vasion routes to Seoul in the west and some 3,000 Chinese in the east opened the fourth year of the Korean War. U.S. EIGHTH Army headquar- ters reported that South Korean troops west of Yonchon, 40 miles north of Seoul, inflicted an esti- mated 3,700 casualties on. the Reds up until 7 a.m. Front-line dispatches said the South Koreans yielded some ground during the night but had launched counter-attacks.

Korean officers estimated the Chinese fired aboutr50,000 rounds of artillery and mortar shells be- fore smashing into eight positions in the Little Nori and Old Baldy sector. * * * ALLIED FLARES flooded the battlefield in brilliant light. Another 3,000 Chinese struck ROK positions on the East- Central Front where the Com- munists broke through last week and a made a two-mile dent in the Allied line. Fighting was continuing there with unabating fury at last report. The Chinese centered their at- tacks on ROK troops while a truce crisis was rounding out in Seoul with a meeting between President Eisenhower's special envoy and President Syngman Rhee, who has defied United Nations truce plans. The attacks on the key Western sector, which guards the roads to Seoul, broke a three-week lull in that area. House To View Profit Tax Bill WASHINGTON --() - The Eisenhower administration won a major test yesterday when the House Rules Committee, yielding to White House pleas, voted to clear an excess profits tax exten- sion bill for debate on the House floor. Simultaneously, the rules com- mittee voted to kill Reed's own bill calling for a 10 per cent slash in individual income taxes strat- ing July 1. THAT MARKED a second tri- umph for the Eisenhower admin- istration. The President has said repeatedly that taxes should not be cut until a balanced budget is in sight. On the vote dealing with the excess profits tax, members said the voting generally followed party lines, with Democrats los- ing. The rules committee vote came after a dramatic, three-hour de- bate in' which Reed and other members of his committee protest- ed that constitutional legislative proceduces were being "des- troyed." 4 * * DECISION was by voice vote, members of the rules group re- ported. Speaker Martin (R-Mass) said the bill will not be called up in the House before next Monday. He said he would be willing to wait a few days longer if the ways and means committee would clear a bill of its own or show an inch- n~atinnv, to n snvr Cartoonist Retains Fancy for Orient By BECKY CONRAD In 1934, China was the "last outpost of fantasy." Consequently, when young car- toonist Milton Caniff wanted to begin a new comic strip, he chose China as background for his char- acter Terry of pirate fame. * * * "NEVER HAVING been to the Orient and knowing nothing of China, I hot-footed it to the pub- liq library to read up on the sub- ject," he explained.
