Rhee Stand
Reaffirmed
In Speech
U.~S. Envoy Still
Tries fo6r Accord
SEOUL-(P)-President , Syng-
man Rhee vowed yesterday his
nation "will never abandon half-
way" the struggle against Com-
munist aggression even though
the U. S. made it clear it could
not guarantee to resume the Ko-
rean War if post-war peace ef-
forts fail.
Despite this impasse, President
Eisenhower's special envoy, Wal-
ter S. Robertson, continued ef-
forts to gain Rhee's support for
an immediate cease-fire with the
Reds on terms already agreed at
Panmunjom. Rhee has rejected
those terms as a "death warrant"
to his country.
* * *
AN EIGHTH meeting between
the two probably will be held some-
time today but the hour was not
announced.
There were indications from
some South Korean sources that
Rhee was almost convinced that
Eisenhower could not guarantee
U. S. resumption of the war, aft-
er 90 days of a post-armistice
political conference. These Kor-
ean squrces indicated Rhee may
eventually give in on the de-
mand.
But these reports were at de-
cided variance with other truce
sources who said Rhee was stub-
bornly insisted he must have such
a guarantee if he is to accept to
an armistice.
WHILE ROBERTSON continued
to negotiate with Rhee it appeared
the U. S. was Tunning out of pa-
tience with the adamant stand of
the Korean leader. The envoy was
due to return to Washington
shortly although a Seoul source
said no departure plans "have yet
been made."
There were growing indica-
tions in Seoul that the UN Cor-
mand may continue to seek
Rhee's adherence to a truce only
until the Communists agree to
set the date for an armistice
signing.
Thus far there has been no for-
mal Red reply to a proposal by
Gen. Mark Clark, UN commander,
Jlast Monday that a date be set
for signing the truce.
It seemed almost certain that if
the Red high command should' de-
cide to set a signing date, the U. S.
would tell Rhee the time had come
when he must decide to join in the
cease-fire or go it alone.
Rhee said in, an impassioned
Fourth of July message to the
American people that his nation
"will never abandon the struggle
halfway." He called upon the U. S.
to stay with him in fighting the
Communists to final victory and
said his ROKs Republic of Korea
troops "will keep fighting and
dying."

Chinese Reds
Win Several
Key Positions

SEOUL - (AP) - Chinese Reds
shattered South Korean bunkers
on Lookout Mountain with a dev-
astating, U. S. style artillery bar-
rage yesterday, then seized the
key Eastdrn Front once more.
Only 12 hours earlier, the Re-
public of Korea 3rd Division had
stormed and captured the 1,600-
foot height, which dominates the
valleys to the south where sup-"
plies are fed into Allied lines.
THEY NEVER succeeded, how-!
ever, in driving the Chinese from!
the north slope. As dusk came'
on, the big Communist guns began
to open up, blasting the bunkers
on the ridge line.

Soviet Supply Line
Cut Off by Poles
BERLIN--(")-Polish partisans have cut a Soviet supply line and
alarmed Russian authorities are rushing tanks from East Germany to
Poland, reports reaching West Berlin early today said.
The West Berlin newspaper Telegraf said demonstrations have
broken out in Poland and that several persons have been killed in
clashes with Soviet troops.
THE TELEGRAF also said several Soviet troop units have been
pulled out of East Germany because they proved unreliable in conflicts
with German rioters and have been replaced by new units rushed
from the Soviet Union.
Accumulating reports trickling through the Iron Curtain indi-
cated that the bloody revolt which swept East Germany June 17
may have spread to Russia's neighboring satellite.

WASHINGTON--M)-Sen. Potter (R-Mich.) said yesterday that,
on the basis of information he now has, he thinks J. B. Matthews
should not be retained as staff director of the Senate investigations-
sub-committee.
A controversy within the sub-committee, headed by Sen. Mc-
Carthy (R-Wis.), was touched off Thursday when the three Demo-
cratic members accused Matthews of "a shocking and unwarranted
attack against the American clergy."
* * * *
THEY CITED an articles Matthews wrote for the July issue of the
American Mercury magazine asserting that "the largest single group
Jsupporting the Communist appar-
atus in the United States today is
composed of Protestant clergy-

Blumenthal
To ive Talk
On Grammar
"Common sense grammar," a
highly controversial topic among
English teaching circles will be
discussed by Joseph C. Blumen-
thal, Head of the English Depart-
ment of Mackenzie High School

McCarthy promptly pointed
out that the article also declared
"it hardly needs to be said that
the vast majority of American
Protestant clergymen are loyal
to the free institutions of this
country."
The three Democratic senators
on the subcommittee, McClelland
of Arkansas, Symington of Mis-
souri and Jackson of Washington,
asked that the group be called to-
gether as soon as possible "to con-
sider appropriate action." McCar-
thy said a meeting probably will
be held Tuesday.

POTTER, ONE of the four GOP
members of the investigating unit,
went a step beyond the Demo-
crats in saying that "my personal
opinion, with the facts I now have,
is that Matthews should not re-
main on the committee staff."
He said he had not read the en-
tire article but had seen news ac-
counts of it.

Defense Secretary Kyes, they in-

The ordnance rating for De- .
troit and area was 1.5 per cent.
The air force rating was 8.3.
Both were low as compared with
factual, not paper, schedules
elsewhere.
"Talbott told me that they in-
tend to let the subcontracts run
as they are and he knew of no
other pending cuts," said Fergu-
son.
"The facts will come out at
Thursday's conference," he added,
referring to a conference in Wash-
ington between labor, government
and Air Secretary Talbott, that he
and Michigan junior senator Pot-
ter had arranged.
Ferguson quoted ordnance and
air force figures showing that the
j influx of defense contracts into
the Detroit area had not stopped.
Delay Willow
Run Rent HikeI
The Public Housing Adminis-
tration in Washington announced
yesterday that a rent raise for fed-
eral housing units in Willow Run
Village has been postponed until
Nov. 1.
Previously set for Sept. 1, PHA
officials granted at least a 60-day
delay because of protests from
laid-off Kaiser Motors Corp. em-j
ployes.
Rents now ranging from $25.50
to $34 per month will receive a
flat $3 per month increase in the
3,000 units in the Village.

Widening, Resurfacing
By JO DECKER
Students attending the Summer Session may have noticed a bar-
ren look last week in the three block area on S. University between
E. University and Washtenaw Ave.
The reason was that workmen were well underway with a $40,000
street widening and resurfacing project. Trees had been removed,
the land surveyed and the groundwork was done.
* * * * .
TODAY, workmen are busy setting the curb back four and one
half feet on the south side and three and one half feet on the north
side from their original positions. Purpose of the project is to elim-
inate the prevalent congestion. Completion date has been set for
September 10.
While this widening project is being completed another will
take place on Washtenaw Ave. Between Forest and Tuomy Rd.
Within 10 days residents along Washtenaw Ave. will find the State
Highway Department tree-cutters at work. The road will be 38

RUSSIAN troops stationed on

crossed the river frontier to quell
the riots, these reports said. The
broadcast said the rioters plun-
dered Communist food stores and
stormed a cinema showing a Rus-
sian film.
There were no late reports to
indicate whether the riots were
still on.

Analyzing the reasons for the
East German revolt, Ebert as-
sailed the press and radio for
contributing to this unrest.
"When the people work all day
in the heat and come home at
night," he said, "they want light
music and good entertainment-
not an entire evening of political
speeches on the radio."
Ebert's speech obviously was part
of the Communists' new campaign
to convince rebellious East Ger-
mans that the party has reformed.
