NEW YORK I— President Eisen-
hower declared last night America
stands always ready to meet “any
one half-way” in winning a truly
peaceful, moral world—but this
peace must respect the rights of
all men.
This means "everybody, not only
our friends,” he said.
For example, in Korea, he add-
ed. United States policy is dedi-
cated to protecting rights of all
people there, including those “only
lately fighting in the ranks of our
enemies, people that have become
our prisoners.”
The President, here on a four-
hour visit during which he al-
dressed two Republican dinners,
said Korean prisoners are entitled
to the "right of political asylum.”

WASHINGTON I — Rep. Short
(R-Mo) said today the latest om-
munist truce proposals for Korea
contain a "Trojan horse” and he
predicted the Eisenhower adminis-
tration will reject them.
He also said in an interview that
France’s reluctance to send the
French Indochina War to the Unit-
ed Nations may have an "adverse
effect” on Congress, which has
been asked to increase Indochina
lid this year.
The Communists proposed leav-
ing in Korea the 48,500 prisoners
who reportedly refuse to return to
Communist territory. They would
be placed under a commission
comprised of representatives from
Sweden, Switzerland, Poland,
Czechoslovakia and India.
Short, chairman of the House
Armed Services Committee, called
India a “Trojan horse” and ssid
she would hold the decisive vote.
"I don’t think India is neutral."
he said.
He added he did not believe Sec-
retary of State Dulles "will fall for
that plan.”
Rep. Vorys of Ohio, a senior Re-
publican on the House Foreign Af-
fairs Committee, said in a separate
interview the proposed commission
“looks like it will be neutral on
the Communist side.”
“India," he added, "has taken
the Communist viewpoint on how
the prisoners should be handled.”
Sen. Knowland (R-Calif) called
the proposed commission a
"stacked deck” because, he de-
clared, India has supported the
Red position on Korean issues 80
per cent of the time.
' "This is only another plan to put
India in charge of the prisoners,”
Knowland said. “The result would
be proselyting of the prisoners
from only one side—the Commu-
nist side.”
Senators Sparkman (D-Ala) and
H. Alexander Smith (R-NJ). like
Knowland members of the foreign
relations committee, said they re-
garded India as neutral. But Smith
said such satellites as Poland and
Czechoslovakia should not be on
the commission. And Sparkman
said the line-up was “clearly un-
balanced.”
Short said France had chosen
“poor strategic timing” in notify-
ing the U. S. it was opposed to
placing the Indochina battle before
the U. N.
“I didn’t like the French action,
which is the result of their colonial
policy,” Short said.
He added he thought other con-
gressmen would have the same
feeling when they consider an esti-
mated 600 million dollars in aid

HANOI, Indochina The end
of the Communist invasion of Laos,
without a major battle and virtu-

near today. It had been one of

heart of the little mountain state,
heading towards the Black and

PILOT POINT—An open meeting
of the Pilot Point school board
with students and parents has been
requested by a group interested in
the retention of H. W. Key as
football coach, a representative of
the group, who asked that his
name be withheld, explained today.
The spokesman said students
and parents interested were “now
awaiting the response of the
board.”
The issue apparently is the out-
growth of the school board's re-
jection of a petition presented last
Tuesday night, asking that Key
be retained as football coach. Key's
contract as superintendent and
coach was not renewed when the
board met early this spring.
