Seeks
to Ease Friction
MOSCOW, May 1 (Al—French Premier Guy Mollet, a
schoolmasterish Socialist, arrived in this capital of world
communism today for talks he hopes will help ease East-West
friction. But he said France will remain true to her Western
partners.
"France belongs to alliances—l world even say a corn-'
I munity—to which she will remain
faithful," Mollet told Premier
I Nikolai Bulganin and other Rus
sians' who welcomed him in spring
sunshine at Ukova airdrome.
"This goes hand in hand with a
continual incessant concern to
iseek the peaceful settlement of all
Idisagreements which exist in the
world," said Mollet, the first top
political figure from the Big,l
Three Western powers to visit
,Moscow since World War 11.
Believes in Continuations
"We believe in the continuation
of a slackening_ of strained rela
tions between nations and our
presence here witnesses this. Our
countries are interested in the
rapid solution of a large number
of international problems—Euro
pean affairs questions of the Mid
dle and Far East, and general dis
armament. We shall have talks
about all this with the Soviet dele
gates."
Those talks, opening tomorrow,
will take up the rest of the week.

House GOP's
Will Approve
Tax Stamp Date
HARRISBURG, May 15 VP)—
House Republicans tonight agreed
to go along with Gov. George M.
Leader's proposed Jan. 1 effective
date for using stamps in collect
ing the 3 per cent sales tax.
Under the stamp plan, retailers
will issue stamps to consumers as
evidence that the tax is paid. The
stamps are redeemable to the
state for 2 per cent of their face
value.
Rep., Smith. Republican Floor
leader, said the GOP found itself
in the position of agreeing that
the July 1 starting date in the
present law is too early to begin
the stamp plan.
"The governor hasn't enforced
the law in that he didn't even
start to prepare for the stamp
plan," Smith told a newsman. "If
he now wants Jan. 1, that's all
'right with us."
The change, approved at a
House GOP caucus, will be in
corporated into proposed 'amend
ments to the sales tax. This has
been a major point of controversy
for more than a month.
The lawmakers pushed into high
gear a drive to adjourn this week.
The Senate adopted unanimously
a resolution fixing Friday, May
18,. at 8 p.m. (EST) as the time
for final adjournment.

South Koreans Elect
Rhee to 3rd Term
SEOUL, South Korea, Wednesday, May 16 (P)—Syng
man Rhee today won his third term as president of South
Korea on the basis of incomplete but conclusive returns front
yesterday's presidential election.
But the President, 81, was trailing a dead candidate in a
surprisingly heavy protest vote
in the capital city of Seoul itself.
With 3,090,700 ballots counted
over the nation—almost half of
the vote cast—Rhee had a com
manding margin over ex-Com
munist Cho Bong Am, his only
live opponent.
Police Give Returns
National police said unofficial
returns counted by 7:30 a.m. gave
Rhee 2,227,309 and Cho 889,242,
with 793,179 invalid.
Election officials said the bulk
of the invalid ballots were for
P. H. Shinicky. the Democratic
party candidate and Rhee's long
time political foe. Shinicky died
of a cerebral hemorrhage while
campaigning May 5.
Rhee Gets Voles
In Seoul balloting, Rhee got
only 173,869 votes as compared to
237,442 invalid ballots. Cho had
102,301 in Seoul.
The bulk of the vote still un
counted is from rural areas, where
Rhee's greatest political strength
lies.
Korean election laws made no
provision for removing Shinicky's
name from the ballot after his
death. His Democratic party lead
ers urged followers to vote for
him as a protest against Rhee's
two administrations and Rhee's
Liberal party.
Election officials said all votes
for Shinicky would be ruled in
valid.
Farm Bill OK

WASHINGTON, May 15 LLP)—
Senate Republican Leader Wil
liam F. Knowland today express
ed confidence Congress will enact

to President Dwight D. Eisenhow
er.
The California senator discuss
ed the pending farm measure with
newsmen at the White House af
ter he and other Republican con
gressional leaders concluded their
regular Tuesday morning confer
ence with the President.
A newsman asked whether the
President ever had spelled out for
the leaders an y objections he
might have to the new legisla
tion. This would provide mainly
for a farm soil bank which the
administration wants.
Knowland replied that the
President himself has not done
so, but the Agriculture Depart
ment has made it clear it is op
posed to some features of the new
bill. The House already has pass
ed the farm measure and Knowl
and predicted the Senate quite
likely will complete action by the
end of the week.

Coe Denies
Espionage
Connections
WASHINGTON, May 15 VII—
Virginius Frank Coe surprised the
Senate Internal Security subcom
mittee today by castiE aside his
Fifth Amendment protection and
swearing he never was a spy.
Coe, one of the former Treas
ury Department employes linked
to Soviet espionage by Elizabeth
Bentley. refused to say whether
he is a Communist.
In doing so, he relied on his
Fifth Amendment protection
against possible self-incrimina
tion after the subcommittee over
ruled his plea of the First Amend
ment's free speech guarantee.
When Coe last appeared before
the subcommitte, he invoked his
Fifth Amendment protection and
refused to say whether he then
was a member of a Soviet espion
age ring.
That was on Dec. 3, 1952. A few
days later Coe was dismissed as
secretary of the International
Monetary Fund.
Coe told the-subcommittee he
now is anxious to answer all ques
tions about espionage and swore,
"I never at any time engaged in
espionage."
Tolls Increased
On Superhighway
HARRISBURG, May 15 (In—
The Pennsylvania Turnpike Com
mission today raised truck and
car tolls on the 360-mile cross
state superhighway effective May
25.

the toll increases. specifically but
said the effect "will be to in
crease the tolls for travel through
the mountainous sections of the
sate and reduce them for travel
in areas of easy travel."
The toll revision is the first
since the initial link of the toll
road was opened in 1940.
The commissiop said the new
fare schedules will be passed out
to all passenger cars at collection
booths and that they will be
mailed to all truckers known to
be using the road.
At present the passenger car
fare is $3.75 from the Ohio border
to the New Jersey border.
