United Nations Propose Meeting
Between Top Truce Negotiators
Panmunjom, Korea (U.R)
The United Nations, apparently
heading for a showdown in the
lengthy truce talks, proposed
Friday night to the Communists
that both Bides hold a meeting
of their highest-ranking truce
negotiators Sunday.
The Allied proposal was made
a few hours after the United Na
tions and the Communists re
cessed the prisoner of war dis
cussions. The recess Indicated
then there was not much hope
for an early armistice.
Fequeit Delivered
Brie. Gen. William P. Nuck-i
ols said the request for a full
plenary session on Sunday was
delivered to Red Col. Chang
Chun San at Panmunjom by Air
Force Col. Andrew J. Kinney,
senior U. N. liaison officer.
Kinney flew to Panmunjom
by helicopter and delivered the
request at 7 p.m. The messa,
signed by Kinney, asked the
Reds to confirm the date and
time of the plenary session.
Allied spokesman did not dis
close what the U. N. had in mind
when it asked for the meeting
Sunday. However, It appeared
that the Allies might be ready to
make some sort of effort to end
the deadlocks on the principal
issues before the truce negotia
tors prisoners of war, Russia
as a truce supervisor and air
field reconstruction.
On the prisoners of war Issue,
the Allies insist that only pris
oners who wish to be repatriated
to the Communist side should be
returned. The Communists in
sist on forcible repatriation.

Michigan Prison
Leaders in Riot
To Be Prosecuted
Jackson, Mich. (U.R) Ring
leaders of the bloody riot at
Southern Michigan prison will
be prosecuted despite promises
of no reprisals, state officials de
clared Friday.
"No state official, not even
the Supreme Court, can grant
anyone immunity for the com
mission of a crime," said State
Attorney General Frank Millard.
"This is not reprisal in any sense
but entirely in accordance with
my oath of office,"
Guarantee Given
The 172 prisoners barricaded
in Cellblock 15 with eight guards
as hostages got a guarantee of
"no reprisals" from Gov. G. Men
nen Williams and prison offic
ials before surrendering Thurs
day. But the governor said the
guarantee applied only in the
strict sense of disciplinary meas
ures within the prison walls and
under the prison code.
Can't Set Aside Laws
lie agreed with Millard that
"nobody . . . could assure these
convicts that they would not be
prosecuted under the laws of
Michigan for any unlawful act
committed during the riots at
Jackson. Nobody, by any agree
ment, can set aside the criminal
laws of this stale."
The question of "coddling" the
mutineers became a political Is
sue almost Immediately.
The Communists also insist on
having Russia as a "neutral" na
tion to police the truce and they
have demanded the right to re
construct airfields in North Kor
ea during a truce.
The Communists earlier Fri
day lifted the secrecy which sur
rounded the prisoner of war dis
cussions. They accused the Al
lies of refusing to return some
100,000 United Nations-held
prisoners.
Under a prisoner of war
screening process held during a
two-week recess in the prisoner
talks, the U. N. discovered that
only 70,000 Communist prison
ers want to return behind the
Iron curtain.
Some 59,000 North Koreans
and Communist Chinese soldiers
said they would resist any
forced repatriations.
Not Sympathetic
Col. George W. Hickman,
chief staff officer of the prison
er exchange discussions, said,
"when the Communists indicated
concern over the lowness of the
figure, I wasn't sympathetic
with them at all
The Communists reported to
day they hold some 12,000 Allied
prisoners, including 7,700 citi
zens of the Republic of Korea
and 4,400 non-Koreans.

go Television Installation Serv
ire association, said the associa
tion uncovered the fraud and
turned it over to law enforce
ment officials. His investigation
began when the association re
ceived an "abnormal number" of
complaints from angry set own
ers. Bargain Offered
Moch said the firms gained en
trance to Chicago homes by of
fering a $3 service call, an "ap
pealing bargain."
Once the repairman arrived he
Invariably attempted to take the
set out of the home for service
in the repair shop. Moch said
reputable servicemen prefer,
when possible, to repair sets In
the home.
When the customer surrender
ed the set he was forced to pay
a "ransom" fee of from $35 to
$80 to get It back and did not re
ceived an itemized receipt.
Officers said Noble's car was
"badly" damaged. Damage to
the car Driven by Miss Dahak
was not reported.
Police reported that the three
girls and a fourth junior high
school girl also admitted a series
of shoplifting thefts from four
