Taft Armistice Talks Resume Today In Panmunjon MUNSAN, Friday, Sept. 12 (IP) Korean armistice parleys re sume today at Panmunjom with nothing to indicate any chance for a break in the critical deadlock on prisoner exchange— the big block to a truce. The meeting, coming after the sixth successive one-week recess, was scheduled for 11 a.m. There was no official reaction by the United Nations Command to a proposal by Mexico to solve the prisoner deadlock by permit ting those captives who refuse to return to their homelands to emi grate to neutral countries. 1 Nor did the Peiping radio or other Communist propaganda out let comment by a late hour Thursday night. The U.N. Command has not budged from its refusal to re turn any prisoner to Red rule against his will. Of some 20,000 Chinese held by the Allies, about 15,000 have said they would rath er die than be repatriated. The Reds insist that all be returned. Musmcmno Says Western Europe Wishes Unification PITTSBURGH, Sept. 11 (JP) A five-week tour of Europe con vinced Justice Michael A. Mus manno that countries outside the Iron Curtain want a united Eur ope, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court Justice declared today. Musmanno returned home to say in an interview that “the threat of a third world war would disappear definitely if Stal in’s fifth column in countries all over the world could be eliminat ed.” The jurist went to Europe for a close look at the European brand of Communism. He began a campaign against Communism while serving on the Allegheny County Pittsburgh Common pleas bench. A captain in the Navy during World War 11, he served as a judge at the Nuremburg war crimes trials. Musmanno said he is more con vinced than ever that the United States should outlaw the Com munist party. “We know they have but one purpose and that is to destroy the United States,” he said. The highest point on the earth is Mount Everest, 29,141 feet; the lowest is the shore of the Dead Sea, 1292 feet below sea level. By the Associated Press It did not mention Eisenhower by name, but the spokesman said it embraced the whole ticket headed by Eisenhower. Sen. Taft lost the presidential nominatipn to Eisenhower after a bitter battle at the Chicago con vention. He promised to support the general in the campaign, but there has been speculation lately that the strength of his support would depend a good deal on whether Eisenhower went along with some of Taft’s views on foreign and domestic affairs.

Stevenson, the Democratic nomi nee, took up the issue of corrup tion in government and told a Town Hall audience “the belief that Democrats are extravagant and Republicans are provident as part of a phony folklore you will do well to examine carefully.” Stevenson said that while Eis enhower claimed corruption was the only issue in the campaign, he thought it was the only one the Republicans could agree on.

PENN STATE BOOK EXCHANGE —Student Operated Non-Profit Book Store— g FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, IV*J Acheson Denounces Ike's Plan KANSAS CITY, Sept. 11 (JP) — Secretary of State Acheson. in obvious reply to Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, ■ said tonight that any attempt, to liberate Com munist - dominated countries by force is “a positive prescription for disaster.” , “We believe, as anyone must who shares the Democratic faith, that free societies can and will be more durable, and that ulti mately they must exercise a strong attraction that will shift the balance in our favor,” Ache son said. “But if through impa tience or imprudence, we are urged to try to bring this shift about by force, if we are urged to seek the ‘liberation’ of territories or peoples by force, this advice would be neither realistic nor responsible. “If this is what is meant by being more ‘positive,’ then it is in fact a positive prescription for disaster.” In his Sept. 4 speech at Phila delphia, GOP presidential nomi nee Eisenhower criticized Tru man-Acheson foreign policy as inadequate, and said “there is . . . need to bring hope and every peaceful aid to the world’s enslaved peoples.” He stressed that he was advo cating action by “only peaceful means.” But Democarts have con tended that such a course, as urged by John Foster Dulles, an Eisenhower adviser, would run the risk of touching off atomic war.
