The language of the section was made very broad. Not onlv is the fund available for spending on refugees but on anti rnmmimista "residing ' in" the USSR and its satellites. The lan guage embraces aid for them to form armed units to be joined with NATO ' forces. ' Then an amendment was added "or for other purposes." At the Paris meeting of the U. N general assembly Vishinsky hop ped on this section and denounced it as a plan of the USA to foment revolution in Russia and its neigh bors. U. S. delegates denied the allocation, but the language of the provision permits such a broad interpretation, as far as authority to spend money goes. Of course this has been standard practice for the Communists.

Not only is this part of their Dublished doctrine, but they have been working at it, off and on; mosyy on, lor many years.

But In making the proposal. Rear Adm. R. E. Libby told the Communists they must strip the Red Army of all former South Korean troops who have been conscripted" into Communist fighting ranks since their capture,. Libby told correspondents later that the Reds had opposed the plan at the meeting but promised to study it further before making a definite answer. Libby accused the Reds of "in corporating into your Army many tnousanas oi our soiaiers wno leu into your hands." He called this a violation of the rules of warfare "since there is reasonable doubt that the prison ers were free from duress in mak ing this decision. Libby demanded that these con scripted troops be returned to pri soner of war status. On the subject of repatriation. the Allies proposed: 1. Prisoners who elect repatria tion shall be exchanged man-for-roan until one side runs out of eli gibles. 2. Thereafter, the side holding prisoners shall exchange them one- for-one for interned civilians and others who elect to return to the opposite side. 3. All prisoners not electing re patriation shall be released. 4. All remaining civilians of either side will be repatriated aft er an armistice if they so elect. 5.

The campaign chief, David S. Ingalls, predicted Taft would be nominated "on an early ballot" at the party convention next July. In a prepared statement, the first in a series of monthly re ports on the Taft campaign, In gallis based his optimism on what he termed: "1. .The shocking disclosures of the scandals and the complete moral disintegration of the Tru man administration. "2. A growing desire to get the best qualified man with the ex perience to run the nation's af fairs. "3. A steady growth of Taft's popularity with the voters as re flected by numerous independent polls and a resultant rush of sup port from volunteers, party lead ers and delegates." Ingalls said that on the other hand, "opposition to Taft is thin, hesitant and faltering. Ingalls remarks regarding the opposition appeared to be directed primarily at the Republican group plugging Gen. Dwight D. Eisen hower. Eisenhower supporters are pre dicting a major development this week-end to bolster their conten tion that he is available for the nomination. Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, campaign manager of the Ike-for- President Republican group, will hold a news conference here Sun day. He has promised good news for Eisenhower s friends.

Rus aia'a top diplomat between two wars; and first Soviet Ambas sador to the United States, who died Wednesday. lie waa 75. LUvinoff dropped out of official circles in 1946. Max Litvinof f Dies; Former Soviet Diplomat LONDON UP-Maxim Litvinoff, Russia's top diplomat between the wars, died Wednesday, Moscow radio announced. He was 75 years old. Litvinoff dropped out of sight as a Russian official after Aug. 23, 1946, when Moscow announced he had befen "released from his duties." At that time he was deputy min ister of foreign affairs. Jacob Malik was appointed to the job. Litvinoff always had been known for friendliness to the West, a rep utation he earned" as ambassador to the United States after America first recognized the Soviet regime in 1933. His eclipse in 1946 was widely interpreted as finally ending much likelihood of easy Soviet-Western co-operation. Litvinoff had been Russia's leading figure in foreign affairs for a decade before the Second World War broke out. His policy was peace and he was distinguished for his debates in the League of Nations. One phrase "peace is indivisible" set the ten or and told the meat of his argu ments for collective security. But as war clouds gathered, Lit vinoff suddenly resigned from the Russian Foreign Office on May 3, 1939. He had become a victim of changing Kremlin policy. He came back to prominence. In November, 1941 five months aft er Germany's attack on Russia brought the Soviet Union into an alliance with the Western Powers he was appointed ambassador to Washington. Max. 33 31 47 Min. Prtcip.
