Truce Negotiators
Agree to Another
Seven-Day Recess
U.N. Expected To Ask
For Still More Time
Tokyo. Sunday (U.P.)
United Nations truce negotiators
met with the Communists at
Panmunjom for 32 minutes to
day after a seven-day recess and
called for another week's ad
journment. The Reds agreed and the next
meeting was scheduled for 11
a.m. August 11.
The new recess extended the
"summer vacation'' of the top
level delegations to at least two
weeks with the prospect that the
UN would ask for another exten
sion August 11 if the Commun
ists offer nothing new which
could lead to a break in the pris
oner exchange deadlock, the on
ly remaining obstacle to peace in
Korea.
A staff officer meeting on the
wording of the nearly-complete
armistice agreement lasted for
36 minutes and adjourned until
tomorrow at 11 a.m. (10 p.m,
EDT Sunday).
Senior UN Delegate Maj. Gen
William K. Harrison said after
today's meeting that "they had
nothing new to say and neither
did we.
"We proposed a seven - day
recess and they agreed, he said
"They had it all prepared in ad
vance. I think they are tired of
having us walk out on them.:
It was the fifth recess of the
plenary session initiated by the
UN and the first one to which
the Communists agreed.
However, the Reds agreed re
luctantly, complaining that no
progress toward settlement of
the prisoner issue could come
unless they stayed in session.

John Snider Files
For New Term on
Medford Council.
John Snider, Medford dairy-
man and one of four city council
men whose terms expire this
year, Saturday filed a petition
to have his name placed on the
ballot as a candidate. He is the
first announced candidate from
Ward 1.
This will be the first time
Snider has run for election. He
was appointed to the council in

of Neil Davidson. On the coun
cil he has been chairman of the
airport committee.
Snider is the first councilman
to file to be retained on the city
council. The terms of Harold
Frye, Dwight Houghton and El
mer Childers also are expiring.
Houghton and Childers have an
nounced they will not be candi
dates for reelection. Frye has
not yet decided.
Dick Woodcock has filed to
replace Houghton as Ward 2
councilman and Jack Fitzgerald
has entered a petition making
him a candidate to replace Child
ers as councilman from Ward 4.
The deadline for filing peti
tions with the city recorder's
office is August 30. Recorder J.
Ralph Woodford cautioned, how
ever, that they should be filed
by August 26 to provide time to
have the signatures checked.

Mysterious Light in Sky
Turns Out To Be Balloon
Winnemucca, Nev. (U.R)
Residents of this small Nevada
town watched with fascination
whispering "flying saucers," as
a round bright light glided slow
ly westward and hovered in the
sky for more than an hour Sat
urday night, but the "glowing
light" turned out to be a weather
bureau balloon.
Hugh Spangler, regional di
rector of the U.S. Weather Bur
eau at Salt Lake City, who hap
pened to be in town, and Jack
B. Junkins, head of the local
bureau said they traced the ob
ject's course through a theodo
lite, a special high - powered
telescope, and that it was "un
doubtedly a radio balloon."
But residents dropped every
thing to watch the spectacle.

West Berlin and Western
Allied authorities warned blunt

The young Reds said they will
defy a Western police ban and

The Russian-sector Commun

tary of State Dean Acheson and
his 21-member party arrived in

plane is scheduled to arrive in
Honolulu at 4 p.m. (HST)
There was some speculation
that the change in original plans
which called for only a refueling
stop in San Francisco, was made
to give security officers an op
portunity to recheck Acheson's
plane the third used by the
party after engine trouble
grounded two at Denver.
Acheson told the press at the
airport that this first meeting
of U. S., New Zealand and Aus
tralian representatives in Hono
lulu will be devoted largely to
organizing the procedure for
enacting the terms of the agree
ment, signed during the Japan
ese peace treaty here last Sep
tember.
"The treaty was born of the
same overwhelming desire tor
peace that prompted the inter
national gathering that founded
the United Nations in this city in
1945." Acheson said.
"The treaty recognizes that
armed attack on anv one of
these three countries would be
dangerous to the peace and se
curity of all. Each country is
pledged to take action in ac
cordance with its constitutional
processes should such an attack
take place."

after they had turned fire hoses
on policemen and 'pelted them
with stones and rotten eggs.
The ' sprawling, star - shaped
prison was reported to be litter

Friday night and Saturday had
made the building almost unin
habitable. Cooking and eating facilities
were destroyed and plumbing
fixtures were smashed. Cell door
locks were broken. The library
was almost wrecked.
After battling 500 prisoners
many of them criminally insane,
for six hours Friday night police
and firemen had to rush back
shortly after 1 p.m. Saturday to
battle a new uprising. About 200
prisoners took part in the new
violence, which broke out after
many of the earlier mutineers
were taken to provincial police
headquarters cells.
The new riot started when
prisoners set several small fires.
When firemen rolled hoses into

them. They also managed to grab
several hose lines and turn the
streams of water on policemen.
At one. point, . prisoners threw

Prisoners broke into the com
