Redt
New
China'Aggression
Charges Made
By Vishinsky
PARIS, Jan. 3 —o) Russia
called today for a top drawer
meeting of the UN Security
Council—attended by. chiefs of
state or foreign ministers—to con
sider a successful conchisiOn of
Korean armistice negotiations and
methods to relax world' tensions.
In' a speech, Soviet Foreign
Minister Andrei Y. V i s h ins ky
hinted ominously at events to
come in southeast Asia. He ac
cused the :United States of pre
paring aggressive measures
against- Red China aIo n g, her
southern borders.
The. State Department accused
Russia of trying to "cover up the
aggressive designs of international
Comfnunism" with it charges that
the United States is arming Chi
nese nationalist forces - in south
east Asia.
The surprise Russian proposal
for a special • Security Council
meeting was quickly rejected by
American sources here and in
Washington. Diplomatic authori
ties, in Washington said such a
session--,-where Russia would have
a veto—would worsen the pros
pect of peace in Korea by bring
ing political issues into the ; ar
mistice negotiations.
Some delegates construed Vish
insky's speech to the 60-nation
political committee as a warning
that - Communist China may use
the charges of :U.S. aggression to
launch new military action on her
southern flank.
"These illegar—flagrantly- ille
gal—acts of the United States, we
can be quite sure, will be de
clared to be defensive measures
against China's aggression when
ever events begin to take their
course on'the southern - borders of
China, in Thailand, Burma and
Yunnan province (of China),"
Vishinsky said.
There have been rumors • of
heightened' Red Chinese military
preparations in south China.

THE, DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA
Meeting;
Expected
Prisoner Exchange
System of Allies
Rejected by Reds
MUNSAN, Korea, Friday, Jan.
4—(?P)—Allied truce negotiators
today expected the Communists
to unfold a new plan for exchange
of war prisoner S—one of the two
main stumbling blocks to a Ko
rean armistice. '
The Reds Thursday "categori
cally" rejected an Allied proposal
for exchange of all prisoners and
war-displaced civilians. •
•
Talks were scheduled to resume
at Panmunjom on both the ex
change problem and on the dead
locked terms, for policing the
truce at 11 a.m., today ( 9 p.m.,
Thursday, E.S.T.)
Agenda Makes Provision '
- In Washington, American offi
cials shied' away from the Soviet
proposal. Diplomatic authorities
in the U.S: capital thought such a
session would -worsen the pros
pects of peace in Korea.
The armistice agenda already
provides in its fifth and final
point for recommendations, to the
governments of both sides, on
such questions as ultimate with
drawal of troops from Korea. This:
implies a higher-level conference
after a military armistice is agreed
upon.
Peiping Radio Charges
However, the last agenda' item
has not reached the formal dis
cussion stage. Negotiators have
struggled more than a month to
settle the terms for prisoners ex
change and truce supervision.
Bitter wrangling continued Thurs
day on both issues.
The Communist charged over
the Peiping radio that the UN
command "tried to bluff our side
into accepting their unreasonable
demands by threatening to break
up the negotiations."
The Red version did not jibe ,
with the Allied account of the
meeting which made no such ref
erence.
The Red Peiping radio blasted
the latest Allied prisoner plan as
an American attempt to "horse
trade in human flesh." Quoting
Red correspondents, the broadcast,
accused the Allies of plotting to
detain more than 60,000 Korean
and , Chinese military prisoners
and 100,000 Others and turn them
over to South Korean "torture
squads." The broadcast was heard
by the Associated Press in San
Francisco.

forcing me to provide a formal or
ganization, for the enthusiasm of
my Ohio riends who have been
wanting to go to work."
Stassen told newsmen earlier he
had decided to invade Ohio be
cause Taft had "gone into Minn
esota, my native state" by ap
pointing a Republican_ campaign
manager there and had "moved
on Pennsylvania, my new home
state"; by appointing_a Pennsyl
vanian as national co-chairman of
the Taft-for- President campaign.

"Dear Phil"
Philip Murray
Truman
Asks Strike
Cancellation
Atlantic City, .Tan. 3-- VP)
President Truman asked the CIO
steelworkers anew today to can
cel any steel strike plans, and
the union gave every indication
it will comply.
A message from Mr., Truman
addressed to "Dear Phil" Mur
ray, head of the CIO and the
steelworkers union, was read to
a specially-summoned union con
vention empowered to ac t on
strike - plans.
Murray was reported ready to
recommend that the nearly 3000
delegates erase• the walkout
threat. It was considered certain
the- convention would foll o w
Murray's wish, at least, until the
wage stabilization board suggests
a , compromise solution to the un
ion's unsettled wage demands.
Murray's recommendation on
what course the union should
take, and the convention action
on that recommendation, was put
over until tomorrow's final ses
sion.
For more t11.4n three hours this
afternoon convention - delegates,
one after another, arose to criti
cize sharply industry bargaining
tactics. They called for revision
of many contract clauses to cor
rect what they termed serious
recurring grievances in the steel
mills.
Individual delegates gaining
the floor said they were willing
to "hit the bricks," or strike, but
felt it would be best to avoid a
walkout now as Mr. Truman has
asked to see what the WSB de
cides:
Murray said the decisign on
further postponing a strike was
for the convention, not him, to
make. •
"I'm not boss," he said

Reports
Confirmed
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3 —(?P)—
President Truman today con
firmed widespread reports that
Federal Judge Thomas F. Mur
phy of New York once accepted
and later turned down appoint
ment to head an investigation of
corruption-in-government charges.
But the President turned aside
questions about a report that At
torney General McGrath has of
fered to step out of the cabinet.
McGrath has been under fire by
critics who say he has not been
vigorous enough in cracking down
on irregularities in government.
Mr. Truman declared that his
own governmental cleanup pro
gram wilr go forward uninter
ruptedly.
He predicted Congress will ap
prove his plan, announced yester
day, to reorganize the nation's tax
collection system and take its
employes out of politics.
The President said he'd favored
such a plan for a long time but
that some members of both par
ties in Congress have blocked it.
Asked about a report that Mc-
Grath had expressed willingness
to be replaced as the nation's top
law enforcement of fi c e the
President said that all sorts of
rumors were going around. He
said he wasn't going to say any
thing further about his cleanup
plans until he was ready.
Watch Ends;
Freighter To Be
Towed to Port
LONDON, Friday, Jan. 4—(R)—
The British tug Turmoil made
her rendezvous with the hull
cracked freighter Flying Enter
prise and her one-man c r ew,
Capt. Kurt Carlson, in the At
lantic late last night.
"Preparations are now under
way for taking the Flying Enter
prise in tow," said a radio mes
sage to U.S. Navy headquarters
here today from the U. S. de
stroyer John W. Weeks.
The Weeks had been standing
by to warn shipping away from
the helpless cra f t and rescue
Carlsen if necessary.
The Turmoil, described by her
owners as the most powerful tug
in• the world, came alongside the
drifting Isbrandtsen Line vessel
at 11 p.m. (6 p.m. Eastern Stan
dard Time). Her captain, Dan
Parker, immediately started the
work of getting lines aboard.
Fortified by U.S. Navy coffee,
Carlsen .neared the decisive hour
when the lines would be shot to
the crazily leaning •craft he has
occupied alone for six days since
storm damage caused hirh to or
der his passengers and crewmen
to rescue ships.
Eyewitnesses reported that the
freighter, though listing 60 or 65
degrees to port and down slightly
at the head, was riding steadily
in the sharply rolling waters
about 300 miles off West Eng
land's southern tip.
