UN Rejects Red
Booby Traps In
Truce Meeting
By LEORY HANSEN
United Press Staff Correspondent
PANMUNJOM, Korea, Thurs-
day, Feb. 21 IU.R;—United Nations
negotiators rejected for the fifth
straight day Wednesday a "booby-
trapped" Red attempt to name
Russia a "neutral in the Korean
war."
Of the three remaining major
issues blocking quick peace in Ko-_
rea. Red insistance on naming Rus-i
sia as one of six neutral supervis-
ors to enforce the peace was the
only one which brooked no com-
promise.
Both the question of repatria-
tion of war prisoners and construc-
tion, of Red airfields can be com-
promised, UN negotiators believed.
The Allies rejected Russia on
the grounds that, although not
fighting in Koi^a, Russia is a
"sponsor" of both Red China and
North Korea.
U. N. sources are convinced that
the Reds are insisting on Russia
as a "neutral" in a deliberate at-
tempt to pave the way for a prop-
ganda champaign painting the So-
viet Union as a "peace" leader.
The U. N. made another com-
promise at the Wednesday meet-
ing, offering to cut troop rota-
tion during a truce from 40,000 to
35,000 men a month. But the Reds
rejected it.
It was believed the Reds might
be holding^out on the troop rota-
tion issue in an attempt to black-
mail the LT. N. into accepting
Russia as a neutral on the armis-
tice team.

Dauster said they received a call
from Bob Whitley, city policeman
between 10 and 10:15 o'colck that
night that a 1941 two-door car
with license Number C-J 280 with
a drunk driver was coming in.
Dauster and Al Ramsey, deputy
sheriff, drove east a distance then
back to Casa la Hoya. There Doris
Bridges told them the car had
gone out the Ivan road. They went
out to Ivan and seeing no one
came back to the sheriff's office
and looked up the name of the
owner of the car. That their next
call was to Partner's and finding
no trouble there they were return-
ing when they were told that the

highway.
Dauster and Ramsey went down
the highway about ,half a mile
and found the car in the bar ditch.
They got out and opened the door
of the car and found the minister
lying down in the seat with his
feet hanging off. Ramsey took
hold of the minister's foot shook
it and told him to get up. He
added the minister mumbled some-
thing which they did not under-
stand. Rev. Wright was taken by
the shoulder and raised up and he
slumped down. Under him they
found the bottle that was brought
to the sheriffs office and put into
evidence.
Ramsey asked the minister to
get out of the car and when he
did not he was pulled out and
each took him by an arm and
escorted hini to the police car.
When they reached there the min-
ister clung to the door and they
pulled his hand loose, and put
handcuffs on him then pushed him
into the police car.

Truman Has Asked
For More Power
WASHINGTON, Feb. 20 <U.R>—
President Truman has asked Cong-
ress to continue some 60 emerg-
ency presidential powers which
otherwise will expire when thi
Japanese peace treaty is ratified
The emergency powers involved
in his request include his wartime
authority to take control of rail-
roads in an emergency and the
right of members of the armed
forces to cast absentee ballots in
national elections.
Two other important powers
sjngled out by the President were
the right of the government to re-
duce royalties on articles used in
the defense program and the ap-
pointment of reserve officers above
peacetime limitations.
Until the peace treaty is rati-
fied by this country and four oth-
er nations, the United States will
be technically at war with Japan.
The President pointed out in
letters to Vice President Alben W.
Barkley and Speaker Sam Ray-
burn that, technically, the conflict
in Korea "does not constitute a
state of war."

Oil Strike Talks
Begin Tonight
DENVER, Colo., Feb. 20
Leaders of 22 unions representing
275,000 AFL, CIO and independent
unions meet tonight to set a date
for a nationwide strike against the
oil industry.
Hopes of averting a strike,
which industrial leaders say will
cripple production, faded as meet-
ing time drew near.
The walkout by the union is to
back up demands for $2 per day
wage increase. Although some
union - management negotiations
were continuing at various refin-
eries, no progress was reported.
O. A. Knight, president of the
CIO International Oil Workers
Union, said workers in key posts
will walk out in a blow "aimed
at the heart of the industry."

Discussion Of
Rotary Objects
Heard By Club
A discussion of one of the ob-
jects of Rotary, "Vocational Ser-
vice", was heard by Rotarians at
their luncheon meeting in the Y.
M. C. A. yesterday noon.
E. A. Cain called this branch of
Rotary 'wehhnic o'ETAOIeSHRI.
Rotary "one which I think has
been neglected", but at the same
time "the key to Rotary" because
it goes through all the other three
objects, club, community, and in-
ternational service.
Hb paid a man was active i"
Community affairs in proportion
to his standing in business, and
declared international difficulties
can be straightened out only when
the business interests of the world
get together.
"Most difficulties between na-
tions are on a basis of economic
unsettlement", he stated.
Cain said he liked to think of a
man's vocation in life in terms of
the latin meaning of the deriva-
tion, a "calling". By this meaning
a vocation is not necessarily a way
to make money, he said, but a way
to serve society.
Strong emphasis on "fair play"
in business was made by Cain and
he urged all Rotarians to observe
the "Golden Rule of Business", in
employee, customer, and competi-
tive relationships. The American
businessman all over the world
i is the U. S.'s greatest ambassador,
he said, and maintained that busi-
nessmen who do not observe' the
golden rule can be influenced to
do so by the Rotary spirit.
In regard to the employee-em-
nloyer relationship, Cain said there
has been almost an economic revo-
lution in the past 50 years. He
praised the present-day attitude
of employers who will listen to
employees about improvements of
the business as having much to
do with the nation's prosperity to-
day.
In conclusion he declared, "I
think the proper observance of this
"Golden Rule in Business" can act
as a catalyst in bringing about a
better world".

Secretary Sees
Bright Prospect
Arming Success
By EDWARD KORRY
United Press Staff Co-respondent
LISBON, Portugal, Feb. 20 <U.Ri
—Secretary of State Dean Ache-
son appealed to the North Atlantic
powers today to finish the job of
building a defense force powerful
enough to halt Russian aggression.
I Aiheso'n addressed the ninth
i conference of the North Atlantic
I Treaty organization council, which
I convened to knit :f strong w^jjtern
defense coalition through rearma-
| nii-nt of West Germany and for-
mation of a 1,400,006-man Europ-
ean army.
In a grave mood, Acheson warn-
ed that the most difficult talks re-
main ahead.
"We must make decisions that
will not be easy to make and we
must take actions that will strain
all of us to the utmost," he-said.
Despite the gravity of his tone,
the prospects for success of the
meeting were considered bright,
and Acheson made plans to leave
Sunday—a week ahead of schedule.
Refering to the London decision
to give Germany a strong voice
in N. A. T. O. while maintaining
indirect controls over her arms
capacity, Acheson said:
"Confronted by situations which
have thier roots deep in history,
lour governments have met these
problems squarely. They have
taken courageous decisions. The
job we now face is the hard un-
spectacular one of translating
these decisions into action."
Lester B. Pearson, chairman of
the N. A. T. O. council of minis-
ters, addressing the opening ses-
sion in the 125-year-old Portugu-
ese National Assembly Building,
warned that N. A. T. 0. must
find a way to strengthen western
European defense.
This meeting, he said, will de-
termine whether the western coa-
lition becomes strong or merely
"a fretful another alliance,"
After a welcoming speech by
Portuguese Foreign Minister Paulo
Cunha and Pearson's address, the
foreign defense and finance min-
isters of the N. A. T. O. powers
adjourned to temporary headquar-
ters to draft the articles.
