lalaya Peace Meeting With Communist Guerrilla Leader Results in Failure

Impossible Set
Of Face-Saving .
"Demands Refused
Baling. Malaya CU.R) Two
days ofOpeace talks aimed at
ending the eight-year-old Com
munist rebellion in the Malayan
jungles ended ig failuretoday.
Chin Peng, leader of 3,000 Red
Guerrillas, was reported to have
faded back into the dense forests
of upper Malaya to "fight it out
to the last" with British and Ma
layan security forces.
The Communists sued for
peace when Britain's armed
might decimated their guerrilla
forces, but in negotiations with
Malayan government leaders
here the Reds refused to sur
render. The Malaya government, rep
resented by Gengku Abdel Rah
man, chief minister of the Ma
layan Federation, told Chin that
what had happened in Qiina,
. Korea and Viet Nam would
never be allowed to happen
here.
Demand Blocks Truce
Chin offered today to end the
fighting that has cost 10,000
lives, but he : tied it up with a
demand that Britain turn over
to Malaya all the functionsf in
ternal security.
Though Chin came here as a
defeated military leader, he de
manded an impossible set of
face-saving conditions and was
met with a series of emphatic
noes by the government nego
tiators. In addition to Rahman, the ne
gotiators included Chief Minis
ter David Marshall of Singa
pore and Sir Cheng Lock Tan, a
neader of Malaya's Chinese col
ony. They entered the talks
Wednesday with a reminder to
Chin he was in no position to
make any demands.
The meeting began today in an
atmosphere of deadlock. It end
ed with the deadlock apparently
unsolvable on the Communists
refusal to surrender.
The meeting was one watched
throughout Asia to see whether
the Reds would again be able to
wrest concessions from the free
world.
Chin made a" big effort today
when he offered to end the war
but only on a series of face-saving--conditions.
The hitch was
that the fighting would end only
"as soon as the elected govern
ment of the Federation of Ma
laya obtains complete control of
internal security and local
armed forces," now vested in
Britain.
Rahman leaves Sunday for
London to try to negotiate dom
inion status for Malaya and for
Singapore. The Communist lead
er apparently . was hoping to
win time by making his peace
offer dependent on this develop'
ment.
Surviving Dionne Quints 'Live
Not Planning To Go Home for
Montreal (U.R) The sur
viving Dionne quintuplets serv
ed notice today they plan to
"live it up" in their newly found
independence and won't even go
home for New Year's.
The change in the "quints"
former sheltered way of life be
came apparent early today when
Yvonne, Cecile, Annette and Ma
rie cleared up a pile of empty
soft drink bottles and cigarette
stubs in their luxurious apart
ment. Unprecedented Party
The mess was left over from
an almost unprecedented party
they threw Wednesday night for
their boy friends.
The party made it clear they
intend to live their own lives
and, unless something unfore
seen happens, are not going to
bow to the dictates of Papa 01
iva Dionne at their home in Cal
lander, Ont.
G. Harold Edwards, a trust
company official who has hand
led the girls' million-dollar in
vestments since they became 21
this year, dropped in on the
party but not as a chaperone.
Father Complains of Split
Edwards called to be filled
in on what the girls want to say
about their split with their fa
ther, who complained bitterly
earlier this week that they were
leaving the family fold and
treating their brothers and sis
ters with "contempt."
Gay music blared from a ra
dio at the party. The living-room
rug was rolled back as the girls,
whose quintuplet sister, Emilie,
died last year, danced with their
French - speaking boyfriends
whom Edwards described as "all
nice, decent fellows." ,
It was a far cry from life at
the 18-room mansion that was
built with" part of a fortune that
came from endorsements and
other commercial payoffs fol
lowing the girl's birth. Back at
Callander, the quints almost nev
er talked or played With boys
and the few they did see us
ually walked sedately into the
living room and sat quietly
while someone sang br played
the piano.
Wednesday night's party was
strictly informal. One of the
boys, who answered the door
to Edwards' pre-arranged coded
knock, was garbed in a flashily
checkered sports shirt and
slacks. The quints were report
ed to have kicked off their shoes
to make it easier to jitterbug.
While the girls had themselves
a - time and indicated ' they
planned a lot more of the same
the publicity-wise operator of
a Miami Beach hotel waited
hopefully for them and their
parents to accept his invitation
t Up';
ew Year's
to patch up their family troubles
during an expense-paid holiday
in Florida. It is expected the Di
onnes would tear up telegrams
bringing word of the offer, on
grounds they don't want pub
licity.' The girls had planned fo go
to Callander on New Years when
Yvonne and Cecile will have
three days off from L'Esperance
hospital where they are student
nurses. But since their father
made his. statements about them
becoming separated from the fa
mily, the spokesman said, they
decided to assert their inde
pendence by letting him wait
to see them. Instead, they might
go home later in January.
Edwards said that despite the
rift, the girls still love their
parents and plan to continue
supporting them with the money
that has piled up in their name
since they were born.

As We Live
By ELIZABETH HURLOCK. PH.D.
Accident-Proneness Is
Not Linked To Red Hair
Some people seem to get all
the "bad breaks" while others
seem to be lucky.
(Q) "Al my life, I have been
unlucky. As a kid I was always
breakino bones, knocking out
teeth, getting
cuts, scratches
and bruises all
over my body,
and losing my
posses sions.
N o w, a s a
grownup, I am
no luckier
than I was
when I was a
kid.
"I have had several automo
bile accidents, none serious
enough to kill me but . I was
pretty badly knocked about and
smashed my car in each case.
Just last week, I was hurrying
to catch the commuter's train
as I was late for work, slipped
on a wet leaf on the street, and
broke my ankle.
"People used to tell me, when
I was young, that all redheads
were unlucky and got them
selves knocked about more than
people with other colored hair.
I am a redhead and, like all red
heads, I have a quick temper.
Co you think this has anything
to do with my bad luck?"
Mr. J. D.
(A) I know your red hair has
nothing to do with your bad luck
and your many accidents but I
also know your temperament
has made you susceptible to ac
cidents, or "accident-prone,." as
it is technically called..
Studies of people who. have
many accidents, and a compari
son of them with people who
have few accidents, have re
vealed that the accident-prone
people have a certain type of
personality make-up that is fund
amentally the cause of their,
many accidents. They are impet
uous, act before they think, fly
into rages and do or say things
they later regret, and are un
systematic about their affairs.
Like you, they slip on wet leaves
because they do not manage
their time adequately to elim
inate the necessity for dashing
to catch a train.
Your red hair has nothing to
do with your personality pat
tern. However, because you,
your family, and your friends
believe you will be impetuous,
hot-tempered, etc., because you
have red hair you have grown
up without attempting to de
velop qualities that would make
you more careful and cautious.
As a result, you get yourself
into all kinds of trouble because
you act before you think.
