MUNSAN, Tuesday, May 27 (1-P)
—The critically-deadlocked Ko
rean•armistice talks resume today
after a three-day recess with the
Allies still highly skeptical as to
Communist intentions.
The meeting at Panmunjom was
set for 11 a.m. (9 p.m. EST, Mon
day).
Maj. Gen. William K. Harrison
Jr., new senior Allied delegate,
asked for the recess as a cooling
off period after two weeks of
daily propaganda blasts in which
the Reds charged mistreatment of
Communist prisoners.
Harrison said Monday he hoped
the Communists had used the re
cess to "study once again" the
United Nations Command stand
against forcible repatriation of
prisoners—the key issue blocking
a truce.
The Allies said that of some
169,000 military and civilian in
ternees in UN camps, nearly 100,-
000 had said they would rather
die than return to North Korea
or Red China. The UN Command
offers to return the 70 ? 000 other
Red prisoners for nearly 12,000
held by the Reds.
North Kdrean Gen. Nam 11, top
Red delegate, charged bitterly
that the Allies had forced the 10,-
000 to say they had renounced
Communism. He cited the series
of bloody but Communist-insti
gated riots on Koje Island to back
up his charges.
Harrison said the riots " were
craftily designed by the Commu
nists" in an effort to embarrass
the UN Command and "to pro,
vide grist for their propaganda
mill."
Supreme Court Says
Movie Ban Illegal
WASHINGTON, May 26 (W)—The Supreme Court ruled today
that it's unconstitutional for a state to ban a movie on the grounds
that it is sacrilegious, and it's all right to broadcast music and com
mercials to streetcar and bus riders.
But the •court said nothing on the biggest question before it:
did President Truman exceed his powers when he seized the steel
industry? It adjourned until next
Monday without , a hint as to when
it would be ready with the ,steel
decision.
Movie censorship, came to the
court in the case of the Italian
movie, "The Miracle," produced
by Roberto Rosselini, husband of
actress Ingrid Bergman.
Catholics Protest
The court was unanimous in its
opinion that the state was wrong
in banning "The Miracle." _
It was banned in New York
after strong protests were made
by some Roman Catholics, in
cluding Francis Cardinal Spell
man.
But the justices went a step
further than they ever have be
fore. They said that the consti
tutional guarantees of free speech
and free press cover the movies.
This obviously threw' something
of a cloud over the censorship
agencies which operate in, many
states.
OKs Broadcast
But the new concept which the
court set forth will, require clari
fication' in many more cases be
fore it is 'known just how -much
freedom from censorship the films
are entitled to.

Truman
Hits Power
Companies
WASHINGTON, May 26. (/P)—
President Truman today threat
ened .a Justice Department inves
tigation of the private power com
panies whom he accused of "fol
lowing the Soviet and the Fascist
lines . . . deliberately and in cold
blood setting out to poison the
minds of the people."
Truman said the power compa
nies in scientific surveys found
out that the people think public
power operations are all right, so
they set out to convince the public
that "public power, and all the
things the people think are good
for them, are all part of some
big plot to socialize the country."
He said- in a tartly-worded
speech to the Electric Consumers
Conference that this campaign,
which he termed propaganda, is
being paid for by consumers in
two ways=through the rates they
pay for electric power and through
taxes because the power firms
charge the costs of their advertis
ing to loperational expenses for
tax purposes.
"I think. I will ask the attorney
general, when he gets in office—
and I hav,e had a hard time getting
an attorney general—to take a
look at this situation and see if
the Corrupt Practices Act doesn't
apply," he said.
The President, in his extempo
raneous talk, did not elaborate,
but presumably he meant he
would seek a determination
whether the power firm's ads can
be held to be political. The. Cor
rupt Practices Act bans political
contributions by corporations.
music, commercials, news and
weather reports.
This is broadcast through loud
speakers in streetcars and busses.
Thecourt voted 7 to 1 that no
constitutional rights are violated..
But Justice Douglas, in a sharp
dissent, said he thinks the broad
casts to a captive audience are a
violation of a man's privacy.
College Scientists
Produce X-Disease
Penn State scientists have suc
ceeded in producing X-dipease
(bovine hyperkeratoris) artifi
cially, even though the exact
cause of this disease is not yet
known, according to the newly
published Agricultural Station's
progress report No. 69.
X-disease has afflicted both
beef and dairy herds in a number
of states, including Pennsyl
vania, and has stirred an exten
sive research study. In the new
progress report, the results of the
disease on afflicted animals are
discussed.
Copies of the progress report
can be obtained from any county
agricultural agent's . office, or by
writing to the Agricultural Ex
periment Station at State College.
Virginia built what is believed
to have' been the first toll road
in the United States in 1786.
OPPOSITE OLD MAIN

Seiztires'Propaed• - • .-
WASHINGTON, May 26 (.4))—A constitutional amendment which
would bar the President from .seizing any private property, except
under specific laws was urged ink Congress today by Sen. McCarran'
(D-Nev.).
McCarran, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, has •
long been at odds with President Truman, whose 'seizure of the'
$8,000,000,000 steel industry to
avert a strike has ignited one of
the hottest constitutional debatesf
of recent years.
The Supreme Court again de
layed today any ruling on the
controversy. It held an opinfoni
day session, its second since tak
ing the case under study, but did
not rule and gave no sign when
it will.
Fine Blasts
'Destroyer
Alcoholism
POCONO MANOR, Pa.. May. 26
(IP) —Gov. John S. Fine today call
ed alcoholisM a "dread destroyer
of humans" and pledged all pos
sible state aid in fighting the dis
ease.
"I want to do everything I pos
sibly can to help combat this
scourge of humanity," Fine de
clared in a speech before the third
inter-national convention of doc
tors in Alcoholics Anonymous.
Fine at the same time comment
ed that the commonwealth has
only made a start toward "accept
ing our responsibilty at the state
level to prescribe proper remedies
for this chronic illness."
The governor took occasion to
criticize the 1951 legislature for
turning down a request by the
State Health Department for
$150,000 to set up alcohol treat
ment clinics. • •
The appropriation was turned
down, Fine said, despite the fact
that Pennsylvania made a , profit
of $91,000,000 last year on its liq-
UOr monopoly.
The governor fprecast that an
other attempt would be made in
the 1953 Legislature to obtain
funds to combat alcoholism and
added:
"We need to establish more
clinic .in this state. We also need
information centers for the guid
ance and care of alcoholics." •

McCarran told the Senate his 4*
proposed amendment is aimed at
the administration contention that -'
the President has broad, inherent
powers under th e 'Constitution
which justify such actions as the
steel seizure.
To. Eliminate Doubt
"The purpose of this proposed
amendment," McCarran said, "is
to eliminate not only- all doubt,
if doubt there be, but also all
argument over the question of
whether the President has any
right, inherent or otherwise, to ,
seize •an industry or any other
private property when he has not
been authorized to do so by a law
passed by the Congress.
"Under the terms of this amend- - 1"
ment, no question of 'inherent
powers' could 'arise, or even be
argued. The proposed amendment
is short, simple, and unequivocal." 7
