Allies Stand Put In Truce Parley
In MUNSAN Korea on June 5 UN truce negotiators accused the Communists of demanding that thousands of Allied held prisoners be chained and shipped back as cattle. Maj. Gen. William K. Harrison said the demand for forced repatriation falls on deaf ears and no one will be driven against their will. He noted 100000 prisoners would rather die than return to communism. North Korean Gen. Nam Il argued that violence on Koje Island proves voluntary repatriation is bankrupt. The two sides will meet Friday at Panmunjom.

The candidate criticizes Truman era policy, doubts winning Taft renomination, and pledges to back the party ticket if platform returns to the 1950 declaration. He cites admiration for MacArthur on Far East policy, avoids commenting on McCarthy, and says no cabinet plans or race-based appointments are decided. He has no ties to Truman that would hinder attacks on current policy.

Will Try Again To Recover Cars From Ohio River
GOLCONDA Illinois June 25 An other effort will be made next week to recover 150 new cars once valued at 300000 from the Ohio river. The vehicles sank on a barge during a storm last December. Eleven feet of water covered the upended barge yesterday but river forecasters said the river is falling and predicted that at least a portion of the barge should be above water by next Sunday. A previous salvage effort recovered but one car. Strickland Construction Co. of Moline Illinois now handles the salvage work replacing Wolmar Construction Co. of St Louis which abandoned the project after high water difficulties earlier this spring.
