In a statement, the Army said it considered the proposal "neither practical nor advisable." The group that spurted repat riation includes 23 Americans, one Englishman and about 300 Koreans, Among other factors, the Army said, the militarized zone where the men would be interviewed by their relatives is not under United States but under United Nations Command control and the men themselves are in the custody of the Neutral Repatriation Commis sion. - The Army said that under the armistice agreement the United States has the authority to explain to the men then rights, -as Ameri can citizens and soldiers and the fact that they are still free to re turn to the United States. These explanations will be made by "explainer teams" which, un der the armistice terms, are lim ited to seven men per 1,000 non- repatriated. This provision, - the Army commented, "restricts the number. of persons who may par' J ticipate in such explanations." Vets' Housing . Colony-Blessing Or an Eyesore?

Excitedly, Piccard told, newsmen and Italian Navy officers: "At 3,150 meters the blackness is absolute. It .is broken only oc casionally by numerous tiny phos phorescent fuckers. . Son Jacques added: "The black ness was incredible. There was little nor nothing to see, even with the full force of our searchlight "But we can say we saw tiny phosphorescent glimmers, which appeared surely to be the signs of some form of living creatures even if embrjonic there in the terrific abyss. - , s : 7 Piccard may never try again almost certainly not this year, as autumn storms already are rough ening the deeps of the Mediter ranean. - His dramatic dive and return to the escorting Italin Navy cor vette Tenact took 2 hours, 12 min utes.

WASHINGTON VTi President Eisenhower said Wednesday, he will, give the American people a frank statement of what must be done as soon as he has evaluated the threat poised by Russia's mas tery of the hydrogen bomb. The President-quickly ruled out war as any but a last-ditch solu tion of East-West differences. The United States, he said em phatically,' does not want war.
