FOREIGN NEWS
Suggested "Cease - Fi
May Become Possibility
By CHARLES M. MCCANN
United Press Foreign Analyst
The week's good and bad news
on the international balance sheet:
THE GOOD
1. A suggestion for a "cease-
fire" agreement to end the small
but dangerous war between the
Chinese Nationalists and the Chi-
nese Communists suddenly hard-
ened into a distinct possibility.
President Eisenhower said at a
press conference that he would
like to see the United Nations
work out such an agreement. It
was disclosed that the United
States and Great Britain already
had .consulted on the possibility of
UN action. Under the suggested
agreement, the Chinese Reds
would agree not to attack the
Nationalist stronghold of Formosa
and the Nationalists would be kept
from attacking the Red-held main-
land. The difficulty of reaching an
agreement would be great but if
one were reached, the grave dan-
ger that the present Nationalist-
Communist fighting might explode

into a major war would be ended.
2. Scientists of seven nations in-
cluding Soviet Russia met tt UN
headquarters in New York to start
preparations for a world technical
conference next summer on Presi-
dent Eisenhower's plan to utilize
nuclear energy for peaceful pur-
poses. The scientists decided the
conference should be held in
Geneva, Switzerland, and drafted
a tentative program for it.
3. Soviet Russia freed an Amer-
ican army private, William A.
Verdine, after holding him as a
slave laborer for nearly six years.
Verdine had disappeared from his
unit in West Germany Feb. 3, 1949.
The Russians had released previ-
ously two other Americans whom
it had held. It was indicated that
still other Americans whom the
Russians keep prisoner might be
freed also.
THE BAD
1. The revolt in Costa Rica con-
tinued. In a new development,
President Anastasio Somoza as-
serted that two F-51 fighter planes
which the United States "sold" to
Costa Rica for SI apiece had vio-
lated Nicaraguan territory. He
sent troops lo the Costa Rican
frontier. He said the situation was
"very tense" tnd could become an
"international conflict." A mission
sent to Costa Rica by the Organi-
zation of American States set up
a buffer zone on the CostRcan-
Nicaraguan border in an attempt
to prevent clashes which might
lead to a war.
2. A new obstacle to the ratifica-
tion of the treaties lo rearm West-
ern Germany arose when a French
proposal but a Western European
armament production poo! met a
cold reception from other signato-
ries to the treaties. Dissention
over the French plan threatened
further delay in ratification votes
by parliaments of the signatory
nations.
3. Vigorous opposition arose in
some Arab countries, especially
Egypt, to the new Turkish-Iraqi
defense treaty, which strengthens
western defense against Commu-
nist aggression. Egypt summoned
a meeting of the eight-nation Arab
League to consider the situation.
Iraqi Premier Nouri El-Said re-
fused an invitation to attend the
conference. He said he was sick.

quate for a slow to fair demand.

nomics reported 1,235,000 chicks
! were pltced on Texas farms for
j the week ended Jan. 15, down 5 per
j cent from the previous week and li)
j per cent below the corresponding
j week a year ago.

[ Floral area market closed at 25
j cents, unchanged to mainly one-
I cent higher, in light to moderate
| trading.

Army Jails Verdine
To Conduct Probe
Into AWOL Charges
BERLIN, Jan. 22—UP—The U. S.
Army Saturday jailed Pvt. William
A. Verdine while it investigates
whether he was absent without
leave the six years he was in So-
viet captivity.
Verdine, a tall thin soldiers from
Starks, La., was removed from the
hospital where he was under guard
since the Soviets released him
Thursday to the headquarters
guardhouse.
Verdine is in "protective custo-
dy," an Army spokesman said,
until an investigation can be com-
pleted and the Army determines
whether it should try him on AWOL
charges.
The five foot, 11 inch soldier dis-
appeared from his unit in West Ger-
many near the Soviet border Feb.
3, 1949 and is listed by the Army as
AWOL.
Another soldier released by the
Soviets earlier this month is in the
same guardhouse awaiting possible
trial on the same charges. He is
Pvt. William Marchuk, of Norris-
town, Pa. who was in Soviet hands
for six years. He was returned
with civilian John H. Noble, of De-
troit, who already has returned to
the United States.
All three men had been held in
Soviet slave labor camps in the
Arctic. I|
Before he was moved to the
guardhouse Saturday Verdine was
given a physical examination. An
Army spokesman said the doctors
failed to find anything wrong with
the 28 year-old soldier's chest, heart
or stomach.
Verdine complained when he was
freed by the Reds that he had
stomach, chest and heart ailments
contracted as a slave laborer. The
Army said all it found wrong with
him was that he was underwent.

los Castillo Armas were reported

with the abortive uprising.
