Truce Team Surprises Seds With Quote From Repatriation Principle MUNSAN (JP) The Allied truce team surprised the Reds Satur day at the resumption erf Korean armistice negotiations by quoting a Russian publication which praised the principle of voluntary repat riation. Red insistence on forced repatriation of all prisoners of war Is the last big roadblock barring the way to a Korean armistice. Mai. Gen. William K. Harrison Jr., senior UN Command delegate, told the Communists that while the Chinese and North Koreans have expressed contempt "Jor any nation which would support the firinciple of no forced repatria lon." it would probably come as as surprise to them to learn that his principle was utilized twice during World War II by the Soviet L'nion. Hussia is "a nation for which your governments have, upon oc casion expressed great admira tion." Harrison added dryly. Harrison turned the tables on the Reds by citing Soviet pro cedure during a 30-minute session w:iich reopened negotiations after three -day recess called by the Ati At Communist insistence an o'iier meeting was scheduled for fcunday. Harrison told the Reds that on Jjn 8, 1943, the Soviet command addressed an ultimatum to Ger-ir.-in officers and soldiers, order ing them to "cease resistance." This ultimatum guaranteed life and security and, after the end of the uar, their return to Ger r.vany or to any country the pris oners should desire to go to," Har r;:.jn said. At this point Gen. Nam II, chief Communist delegate, looked up in vhat appeared to be great sur- Harrison also cited of a similar l.'isLance during the siege of Buda te;:, Hungary, during World V3l II. Harrison said it "might be of further interest" to the Com rnunist delegation to know that the Soviet Institute of the Acad emy of Sciences described the Budapest ultimatum as "the high est act of humanitarianism." He then accused the Reds of stubbornly opposing the principle of voluntary repatriation as "in ctmpatible with humanitarian ob jectives" or with international ru es or customs of warfare.

Treasury let racketeers Frank Costello and Phil Kastel duck payment on huge tax delinquencies for years while they raked in fat profits from slot machines and other ventures. Willams said the Treasury has "marked off" $315,156 in taxes due from Kastel over the past 15 years, and he told the Senate: This does not include $148,043 which was marked off by the gov ernment in 1942 as representing cancellation of proposed penal ties." Firing another Salvo In his one man campaign to expose tax scandals, tho Delaware Senator declared: "The administration's boast about being the defender of the average man has a hollow ring when one observes the manner in which they have enforced the in come tax laws against America's most notorious racketeers as com pared with the manner in which our tax laws are being enforced Dine or Dance CLUB TUMBLE IIIII Every Scrt.

As an illustration, Williams cit ed a report in the Houston, Tex., Post that the government has threatened to sell the $5,000 home of a crippled retired watchman to collect an unpaid $3.90 income tax bill. Williams said he has been In formed that the Internal Revenue Bureau, tho nation's tax-collecting agency, is now Investigating Costello's tax returns for the World War II period. He said the bureau's special rackets squad is also looking into Kastel's tax returns for the last six years. Costello and "Dandy Phil" Kas tel both figured as prime targets in last year's hearings before the Senate Crime Committee, then headed by Sen. Estes Kefauver (D-Tenn). Both were cited for contempt for refusal to answer questions. Costello was convicted at a New York trial, fined $5,000 and sen tenced to 18 months in prison. His case is pending on appeal. The charge against Kastel was dismissed in Louisiana, his home bailiwick. It has been calculated that there are 10 billions tons of gold in the sea water of the world. LAST DAY!

Prolie of Cost Of Luxury Ship Asked by HST WASHINGTON (JP) - President Truman ordered an inquiry Friday to determine whether the govern ment is paying too much toward the cost of the new luxury liner United States, formally turned over to the U. S. Lines a few hours earlier. The government is paying 42 million dollars or more and the shipping company 28 million. Noting that the size of the gov ernment's subsidy to the new liner had been seriously challenged by various officials, Truman said in a letter to Attorney General Mc Granery: "It would seem advisable to con sider steps that should now be taken to protect the government's rightful interest. Accordingly, I request that you determine what legal action should be taken by the government . . . "The clearly desirable objective of promoting an adequate mer chant marine cannot be used to condone the allowance of excessive subsidies to individual ship oper ators." Under a 1949 contract, the gov ernment agreed to pay an esti mated 42 million dollars toward the cost of the huge ship, the world's third largest and evidently its fastest passenger liner. In accordance with that contract, and disregarding strenuous objec tions which had been raised by Comptroller General Lindsay War ren, Secretary of Commerce Saw yer Friday turned the liner over to U.

Steel Pinch Threatens to Keep Curbs WASHINGTON (JP) - The steel strike's sharpening pinch on the nation's economy led the govern ment Friday to scrap plans lor relaxing building restrictions on July 1. The Defense Production Admin istration postponed indefinitely any easing of curbs on steel for home construction and building of amusement and recreation centers. A go-ahead on most banned con struction had been planned before the strike began on June 2. Meantime, an Associated Press survey of arms manufacturers and defense experts showed they ex pect military production to come to a virtual halt within a few weeks if the steel strike continues. The walkout of 650,000 members of the CIO steel workers union now in its 19th day was contin uing without sign of a break. President Truman held off invok ing the Taft-Hartley act, with its provisions for 80-day court in junctions to stop big labor strikes. Meanwhile the concern of de defense officials was heightened, too, by the strike of 3,300 workers at General Electric Company's Jet engine plant at Lockland, O., near Cincinnati, and a threatened strike at the North American airframe pjam at Englewood, Calif. ' The Lockland-produced engines are used in the Englewood -produced frames. The two plants turn out about half of all Sabre jet fighters used in Korea.

Sprague, publisher of th Salem, Ore., Statesman and former governor of Oregon, told the Call fornia Newspaper Publishers As sociation Friday night .there is a crying need for better-written, more informative, more interesting newspaper editorials. Editorial writers, he said, should avoid "Afghanastanism" writing only on remote problems. Rather, he said, they should not be afraid of dealing with local "hot pota toes." Sprague said the first essential for an editor today is awareness of his responsibilities "The editor," he said, "is In mid stream and ought to get into the swim. He should not hesitate to take on dragons abroad or the crackpots at home." Sprague aaid that readership surveys have showed that, unfor tunately, many editorial columns get considerably less readership than the sports page. He declared that this Is partly the fault of edi torial writers who should make their copy so interesting that read ers would not pass their pages by. MAYO FOUNDER DIES ROCHESTER, Minn.
