Lt. Gen. K. S. Thimayya, In dian chairman of the neutral na tions repatriation commission, told newsmen he would have to ask his government, for guidance but thought the Reds and the UN command should decide jointly the next step should current ar mistice steps fail. ' On the Allied side, Maj. Gen. Julius K.

HOUSEWARMING GIFT they'll txeaiute olukius ier of Red China, a nation the UN has refused -to admit, said: “If the United Nations General As sembly should evade its responsi bilities toward this situation and condone the willful actions of the United States government, the seriousness of the Korean situa tion would be in_reased and the United Nations would become even more a tool of the United States government in creating in ternational tensions.” In effect, Chou was asking the General Assembly to help set-up a Korean peace conference and re sume stalled explanations to anti- Red prisoners resisting repatria tion—both on Red China’s terms. Chou’s veiled appeal for UN ac tion followed by less than 24 hours a statement he made belittling the worldwide influence of the UN General Assembly. In the ear lier statement, Chou said a reso lution passed 42-5 by the Gen eral Assembly Dec. 3 expressing grave concern over reports of Communist atrocities in Korea would do Red China' little harm. Chou’s UN message, broadcast by Peiping radio and monitored here, was addressed to Sweden’s Dag Hammarskjold, secretary gen eral of the UN and to India’s Mrs. Vijaya Lakshmi Pandit, president of the UN- General Assembly. Chou’s opening sentences—“the situation in Korea has now de veloped to a critical stage”—per tained to these two matters: 1. Arrangement of a Korean peace conference. Preliminary discussions at Panmunjom are in their seventh week, snarled over Red China’s insistence that Rus sia must be seated as a “neutral.” 2. Deadlock over explanations to more than 22,000 anti-Hed Chi nese. and North Koreans held in the Panmunjom neutral zone un der guard of Indian troops. Chou’s message, ignoring that the Reds in Korea used Russian built planes, tanks and guns, said “the United States” representative at- the Panmunjom preliminary talks has arbitrarily ignored the fact that the Soviet Union con sistently maintained a neutral po sition during the Korean War.” Nartticoke Mayor Ousted WILKES-BARRE, Pa., Dec. 7 (fP) —Anthony B.

Burke, president of the 400 striking AFL photo engravers, was asked whether he thought the strike would last through the week. “I hope it will be over,” he replied, “but I’m not too optimistic.” A similar question to William Mapel, spokesman for the struck publishers, brought the reply: “I hope so.

Watching of Christmas skies we are conscious of deep silence. Yet the stars are talking to us all the while—talking in radio waves that are full of meaning to scientists probing the depths of space.

His discovery marked the birth of the fast-growing science of radio- astron omy. It is telling us of mysterious light less stars that broadcast radio waves, and it promises exciting revelations about vast regions of space concealed by clouds of cosmic dust.
