Maori Grudge
Hamilton, New Zealand VP)
Britain's Queen Elizabeth
healed an 80-year-old breach
between a Maori chieftain and
the British crown Wednesday.
She rerouted her royal tour to
call on "King" Koroki, head
of the 250,000-strong Waikato
tribe, at his village 18 miles
south of here.
The Waikatos and the Brit
ish have been squabbling over
land claimed by the tribe.
Controversy raged among the
maoris for months over
whether the Queen should call
on Koroki.
He claimed that Maori cus
tom decreed a visiting chief
tainess passing through his
territory should visit him. He
refused to allow his tribe to
attend the official Maori wel
come to the queen at Rotorua
on Saturday unless Elizabeth
called at his village first.
Her unscheduled 10-minute
visit Wednesday was hailed
by the tribe as the final bur
ial of the dispute. They greet
ed her with wild enthusiasm.
Queen Elizabeth of England has a happy smile as she
arrives at a garden party in her honor at Auckland. New
Zealand, recently. At left one of her subjects bows his

bound Delaware river early
Wednesday, killing at least four
crewmen. The tankers, Atlan

safe anchorage in the fog
shrouded river setting off fires
on both vessels.

awaited favorable tides to
prbceed under their own steam
to Philadelphia.
The bodies of t h e victims
were recovered by rescue ships
from the U. S. Army Engineer
sub office at Edgemoor, Del.
An Army engineer spokesman
said its vessel, the Liston, Fi"k
ed up three bodies and the
New Castle another. None of
the dead was identified.
Both ships sailed Christmas

No Decision on
What Gs to

Seoul W) Gen. Maxwell D.
Taylor stood in a snow-covered
Korean valley today and
told Eighth army soldiers he
did not know what two U.S.
divisions would be leaving
Korea or where or when they
would go.
The decision to transfer
two divisions out." he said,
"was a high-level move and I
do not have the details. It
may be weeks or months be
fore the transfer is made. '
President Eisenhower an
nounced recently Uiat the two
divisions would be pulled out.
Don t listen to rumors."
Taylor told troops of the U.S.
25th division's 27th regiment.
"As soon as we get authoriza-
tive news from the horse's
mouth, we'll let you know."
Taylor said he thought that
after the divisions to be trans
ferred were known the "fair
way to do it would be to send
out the men who have been
out here about 16 months and
transfer the short-timers from
the divisions to other divisions
that are staying."
"But I don't know yet If
that will be the procedure."
he said.
