The President told a news con ference Dulles' advice to get to gether or risk reductions in U.S. troops in Europe was neither new nor blunt but based on the lam of our land. He put his foot down on shar ing with the Western Allies the know-hOw of producing atomic weapons but not necessarily on the sharing of the weapons them selves if war should break out. Beria 'Admits Against Soviet MOSCOW, Thursday, Dec. 17 (JP)—Lavrenty P.

The South Korean was the first to ask to be repatriated since Al lied interviews broke down last Saturday over prisoner demands that they be allowed to argue at length with explanation teams. With little hope that explana tions can get going again before the deadline Dec. 23, Allied offi cers prepared to use loudspeak ers for last-minute "come - home" broadcasts to the balking prison-. ers. The South Korean, Pfc. Kim Mun Du, climbed over the barbed wire fence about dawn, walked up to an Indian guard and said he wanted to go home. he was turned over to the UN Command and taken to Seoul. He was not permitted at once to talk to newsmen. But Col. Choi Yak Kyun, a member of the South Korean explanation team, quoted him as saying: "A few of the 22 Americans who the Reds say do not want re patriation are willing to come home.

STATE COLLEGE PENNSYLVANIA - Eisenhower also said he still was intent upon peaceful, inter national development of atomic energy for the good of all hu manity and Soviet rejection of his plan for pooling atomic materials for that purpose would not stop him. On that proposal, he said, there has been no official Russian reaction. The facts are plain for all to see, he said, that the law of our land says half the funds for mili tary aid to Europe shall be chan neled through EDC.

The announcement, published in the official newspaper Izvestia, disclosed the names of six men ac cused with Beria. They include V. N. Merkulov, for mer minister of state security who for a long time was Beria',s dep uty. The announce ment said: ' "The investiga tion has estab lished that Beria using the posi- tion, had collec- ted a treacherous group of plotters hostile to the Soviet state . . . strivir.g . . . to grab power and to liquidate the Soviet worker-peasant r egim with a view of restoring capital ism." Beria was first deputy prime minister, under Premier Georgi Malenkov, and minister of inter nal affairs. The latter office con trols the police, intelligence work and related activities. The Supreme Soviet said Mer kulov had been ousted Sept. 17 and Vassily G. • Zhavoronkov named his successor. The Mpscow radio, heard in London, said Beria and his asso ciates will be tried at a special sitting of the Supreme Court of the Soviet Union, but no date was given. The official announcement did not make it clear how Beria had "confessed," but this is nor mal. procedure in Communist courts —defendants are not brought to trial until the prose cution has obtained confessions. It can only be speculated, of course, whether Beria was sub jected to some inquisitorial meth ods his police used for years. rOCCACIOCC-KtetetoC - MMWSIMSIVOCM Behrer Hardware You'll Revere-Ware Flint Kitchen Tools Case Cutlery Wear-Ever Aluminum Taylor Thermometers 130 E.

U.S. Plane Rips Sound Barrier For New Record WASHINGTON, Dec. 16 (?P)— The Air Force disclosed today that an American plane has ripped through the air at about 27 miles a minute-2 1 A times the speed of sound—the fastest man has ever traveled. The man who first drove an aircraft through the sound bar rier, Air Force Maj. Charles Yea ger, piloted the rocket-driven Bell X-1A in the history-making flight last Saturday, the Air Force said.- The new unofficial record of more than 1600 miles an hour, at an undisclosed altitude, topped a record set only less than a month ago. On Nov. 20 a Navy Skyrocket, also a rocket propelled laboratory plane, attained a speed mark of 1327 miles per hour. The Bell X-IA, like the old X-1 which first cracked the sound bar rier in 1947 with Yeager at the controls, is purely a research air craft, There are no weapons - in the little, snub-nosed plane with its wings as thin as the blade of a sword.- Wintry Front Freezes State PITTSBURGH, Dec.' 16 (11 3 ) Winter's coldest wave—with tem peratures plunging toward zero— swept into Pennsylvania today on the heels of a storm that dumped a foot of snow in some sections. Hardest hit was the, northwest ern corner of the state. Erie and Corry measured 11 to 12 inches of snow. The temperature at Cor ry was 17—coldest of the season. The unexpected Erie - Corry snow disrupted bus service, closed at least one school and caused numerous bumper-to-bumper car crashes. Forecasters had no immediate explanation for the fall. Other communities in the area had only three to four inches. . - Eastern and central Pennsyl vania escaped with snow flurries in the mountain sections and be low freezing weather except in the Philadelphia area where the mercury ranged around the 37- degree mark. Snow flurries fell in - the afternoon at Philadelphia. WaIIVAMtetZVCCICteIesCR= 4 :I,tOM. I4 OI Charles H. Kropp, Owner GIFTS Take Pride In .

"I warship him," said the witness, Albert Shadowitz, of Ein stein, who is a determined foe of congressional spy hunters. McCarthy threatened the wit ness with contempt charges, but Shadowitz, 38, an engineer and former employe of sensitive gov ernment installations, refused to say whether he had been a Com munist and told the Republican senator from Wisconsin: "I discussed this / matter person ally with Dr. Albert Einstein and he advised me tr ---bfgaßM no, to toopera, with this corn mittee or .a n - other committf of a similar n. ture."
