The food crisis and smolderi unrest throughout Russia's sate: lite empire appeared to be the m Jor reasons for a rash of conci atory gestures by Communist go ernments. Czechoslovakia was the fifth satellite to show signs of aban- doning the big stick for the vel- vet glove in handling its rest- less people. In a sudden policy switch, Radi Prague announced that the go ernment has revoked, a decre making it a criminal offense fc workers to remain away from the jobs four times without good rea , son g"*s THE LAW was issued only week ago because of widesprea absenteeism, a form of passive re sistance, which followed the sup pression of a workers' uprising a Pilsen last month. It seemed likel the law was revoked on Moscow orders. Of the Kremlin's satellites, only Poland and Bulgaria have failed so far to make policy mod- ifications to meet the wave of unrest and -rebellion.. Bulgaria on Sunday announce a decree along the lines of the la annullac yesterday by Czechoslo vakia. Imprisonment and heavy fines were provided for worker and apprentices who leave the jobs or training without permis lion. Subcommittee Grants New Refugee Quota WASHINGTON - (J)- A Sen ate judiciary subcommittee yes- terday voted to approve an ad ministration-sponsored bill to ad mit an extra 240,000 refugees anc ! other immigrants into the United States in the next two years. The full judiciary committee will meet to act on the subcommittee's recommendation today. * * * CHAIRMAN Watkins (R-Utah) told newsmen the five subcommit- tee members present approved the bill without dissent. Four other members were absent when the Vote was taken. In approving the bill, the subcommittee slightly revised the original version to provide for the admission of 1,000 per- sons who have fled from Red China. The measure would also provide for admission of 110,500 escapees and. German expellees from Com- munist-dominated areas of Europe who are now living in West Ger- many or Austria. This is an in- crease of 500 over the original bill. The subcommittee left vin- changed a provision for the en- try of 15,000 escapees from be- hind the Iron Curtain who are residing in North Atlantic Trea- ty Organization countries, in- cluding Turkey. Special quotas for Italians were cut from 75,000 to 74,000 and Dutch Nationals from 20,000 to 19,500. President Eisenhower asked Congress on April 22 to provide for 240,000 special quota immi- grants, saying it would show the United States is willing to do its share in helping to resettle refu- gees and to ease European popula- tion pressures. Unemployment Rate Goes Up Berlin Reports New Uprising Red German Police Call Members As Workers Threaten To March BERLIN - (P) - The East German Communist police summoned all its members to duty last night through a "number one alert" broadcast over the police radio network. Police mobilization came as the city boiled with reports of a new workers uprising against the Russian rulers of East Germany. * * ** ALLIED OFFICIALS said they had been informed the Russians have sent tanks into downtown East Berlin to maintain order and' have rushed in East German army units from Saxony. Persons crossing into West Berlin from the Soviet sector said workers on the Stalin Allee Boulevard housing project, where the June 17 rebellion ignited, have threatened to march again today to demand release of all their comrades arrested in reprisal. Z West Berlin newspaper Telegraf said yesterday that 46 Communist German "peoples' police" have Committee been executed by Russian firing squads for "disobeying orders and resisting the Red army" during the June 17 workers revolt in East Germany. No source was given for the re- A E vid ence port, which is considerably higher than any previous estimate of the number of police executions. Ref- By The Associated Press House Un-American Activities Committee members said yester- day a number of American clergy- men were named by witnesses as evidence of "extreme importance" was presented concerning Com- munist infiltration of the clergy. Rep. Kit Clardy (R-Mich), act- ing chairman at the New York hearings, said the individuals were American clergymen but did not otherwise identify them, or state the exact number. * * * ASKED WHETHER he would attack a clergyman if he were found to be a Communist, Clardy replied: "I would not, attack him. I would expose him." The committee in a prepared statement said it had received testimony on how Communists "planned to and did infiltrate the ranks of the clergy" in the United States. The testimony came from Ben- jamin Gitlow and Joseph Korn- feder, the committee said. Gitlow was described as a char- ter member of the American Com- munist party who broke with the Reds and Kornfeder as once an, "important Communist party func-J tionary" who had an "intimate, acquaintance" with Josef Stalin, late Soviet Premier. * ! s EARLIER IN the day, Sen. Mc-, Carthy (R-Wis.) blocked a move by a majority of his Senate inves- tigations, subcommittee to oust J. B. Matthews, its executive direc- tor. A majority of the seven-mem- her subcommittee wanted to fire Matthews because he wrote in a recent article in the American# Mercury magazine that "the1 largest single group supporting the Communist apparatus in the United States is composed of protestant clergymen." Subcommittee members said af- ter, yesterday's meeting that Mc-o Carthy took the stand that as chairman of the subcommittee he4 had he right to hire and fire staff employes without consent of the other members.t ugee reports have confirmed, how- ever, that the Red German police proved in the uprising that the Russians could not rely upon them against their own people. ', * * THE "VOPOS" - volkspolizei - often refused to fire on rioters and sometimes even joined the revels. Nearly 500 have fled to Berlin in the last month. Spurred by serious food short.. ages, the East German govern- ment held out new promises to disgruntled farmers yesterday to lure them into delivering qua- tas asked from the new grain harvest. Workers gathered on the job last night and told Communist union officials they will strike again if their leaders are not re- leased. They intend to march on Red Premier Otto Grotewohl's headquarters today to publicize their demands. This information came to RIAS, the U.S. High Commission Ger- man language radio station, which refrained from broadcasting it. * * *S STATION OFFICILALS said the situation is so tense RIAS felt duty-bound to avoid inflaming hot-tempered East German work- ers. RIAS, instead, beamed a broadcast warning into East Berlin telling workers they. should not risk their lives against insurmountable odds. Unconfirmed reports from the East sector said workers have al- ready clashed with Communist police on Alexander Platz in the heart of East Berlin and that So- viet tanks had restored order there.

Proposal To MC Arrangements ake Without ROK UN Forces Hold In Violent Action By The Associated Press The Communists today accepted Gen. Mark W.

THE COMMUNIST high com- mand agreed to permit truce teams to go ahead with the question of implementing an armistice agree- ment. The contents of the Commu- nist 'reply to Clark were dis- closed to Allied correspondents by Communist newsmen outside the truce conference hut. * * THE UN Command did not im- mediately anounce the contents of the Red letter. Clark nine days ago suggested to the Red high command that the full delegations meet to fix the date for signing a' truce agreement worked out in two years of negoti- ations. The unofficial Red reply said the senior truce delegates of each side should set the date for their teams to come to Panmun- jom. Apparently no date was set. The letter said the UN Com- mand should take effective steps to make the South Korean gov- ernment observe truce terms, the Red newsmen said. The Communists said "our side is not entirely satisfied" with Clark's letter, in which the UN Command made it plain that Pres- ident Syngman Rhee's government is an independent sovereign state. THE SOUTH KOREAN Presi- dent met again yesterday with President Eisenhower's special truce envoy, Walter S. Robertson-- their 10th talk in 13 days. But, there was no sign that Rhee was any closer to lining up behind a1 truce. Set Gambling Laws Asked DETROIT-(P)-Arguments for1 a uniform state policy on gambling grew louder here yesterday, but they still met with the insistence of Gov. Williams that the matter is a local problem. Some law officials balked at the idea of enforcing laws part of the time in some of the places. Prosecutor Wilfred H. Erwin of Livingston County said that en- forcing a law in one county while neighboring counties can ignore it is a practical impossibility. The governor turned his back Monday on requests to call a con- ference on gambling laws made last week by the Michigan. Asso- ciation of Chiefs of Police. Williams action caused Detroit police commissioner Donald Leon- ard to say that the governor had "missed the point entirely." "We ask only the use of the gov- ernor's office so that prosecutors and law enforcement officers can meet with him to 'discuss prob- lems of a uniform law," said Leon- ard.

The naivete of Grandma Moses is an anachronism because is does not present the culture of the 20th century, he indicated in a com- mentary given in conjunction with the popular visual arts exhibit in the Museum of Art. ACCORDING TO Prof. Gowans, "The essence of folk art is con- ceptual art where the creator tries to represent what he knows is there and attempts to express his maximum knowledge of it." This form is in direct con- trast to visual or academic art in which the belief persists that things should be represented as the artist sees them at any one second of time and not affected by the total mental image of objects, he pointed out. Crucial time for old-style folk art occurred around 1860 when people abandoned it for more mod- ern styles, he continued. "When the old folk art came off the walls in the middle 19th century, comic strips replaced them," Prof. Gow- ans explained. * * * A SYSTEM of conventional sym- bols for conceptual reality in terms of time, movement and emotions has developed through comics, he said. "Comics deal with folk imag- ery in a folk style," according to Prof. Gowans. Using Popeye the sailorman as an example of modern American folk art, Prof. Gowans pointed out that the popular comic char- acter is more than a passing fad. "I felt when I read over episodes about the famed sailor that I was relivin, the era of the '30's. terdam in the days of the Dutch, 4the play mocks politics and polit- ical institutions.

Americans, ROKsHold Key Regions SEOUL-(P)-Reinforced U. S. 7th and South Korean, 2nd Divi- sion troops were reported holding grimly in twin hill battles today while more than 6,000 Chinese Reds stormed the muddy slopes of Porkchop Hill and Arrowhead Ridge for the second day. The fighting, 40 to 45 miles north of Seoul, was the most vio- lent in weeks on the Western Front. It was the first heavy as- sault on an American division since the Reds began picking on one South Korean division after another in grinding assaults in mid-June. * * * SOME OFFICER thought the Red offensive against the Repub- lic of Korea Army was intended to punish the ROKs for failing to sign a truce agreement. Frontline officers said the cur- rent attacks were being directed by two separate Chinese divi- sions which so far have com- mitted about a third of their force. That meant about 6,000 Reds were in the actual attack. More than two Red battalions and possibly a full regiment up to 3.000 men beat against U. S. 7th division troops holding strategic Porkchop Hill, near Old Baldy on the Western Front. * * - AT LEAST another regiment was pounding furiously against the South Koreans holding Arrow- head Ridge, about five miles north- east. Arrowhead is near White Horse Mountain where the Kor- eans scored a great victory over the Chinese last fall. The fighting was of savagery unusual even in the Korean War. Starting at 1:45 Monday night, it raged all day yesterday and on through the night up and down the slippery outposts in a welter of mud, rain and sweat. GI's used rifles, grenades, gun butts anid knives to smash back wave on wave of driving Chinese. At midnight last night another violent Red wave was breaking on Arrowhead but the Porkchop bat- tle had dropped off slightly. Nixon To Make Far Eastern Good Will Tour WASHINGTON - (A) - The White House announced yesterday that President Eisenhower has designated Vice President Nixon to make a trip to the Far East this fall as a good will envoy car- rying "the sincere greetings of the people of the United States" to the people of Asia. Nixon will be accompanied by Mrs. Nixon and by officials of the State Department. The group will probably leave in October. The anouncement followed a se- ries of recent demands by Sen; Knowland (R-Calif.), acting GOP floor leader in the Senate, and other Congress members fox put- ting greater emphasis on UJ.S. re- lations with the Far East.
