Restoration of Two-Way
raffic on Main Asked
The United Nations command
expressed tears publicly for the
first time that the Communist
might not give up all the prison-
ers they ihold.
The fear was expressed in turn-
ing down a five-point prisoner
exchange plan advanced today by
Communist negotiators at Pan-
munjom. The Red proposal still
called for release of all prisoners,
fhe U. N. insists on a man-for-
avan exchange.
“The U. N. command is con-
cerned,” an official communi-
que said, “that premature
agreement on bulk exchange of
prisoners before adequate data
is available could result In sixe-
able numbers not being recov-
ered.”
Allied negotiators, the com-
munique added, “excoriated the
Communists” for not‘letting the
Red CroSs see how prisoners are
bfeing treated and for refusing to
say how many prisoners they hold
and where. «
The Reds have said they would
supply the Inforination only after
the Allies agree on a blanket ex-
change* They kept this stand in

Survey of County's Entire Housing Needs
To Be Undertaken by C of C Committee
A comprehensive survey of
Orange county's housing needs is
to be undertaken by the chamber
of commerce housing committee.
The purpose of this canvass, ac-
cording to J. Cullen Browning,
chairman of the committee, will
be to provide the group with ac-
curate information on which to
lay out its program of work for
the months ahead.
Plans for the surveys were dis-
cussed by thfr committee during
its first meeting Tuesday after-
noon in the Holland hotel parlor.
The canvass will undertake to
find out the county’s present and
future needs in all types of hous-
ing, rental and occupant-owned,
for all income brackets.
A subcommittee to make defi-
nite recommendations at the next
general meeting as to the means
of conducting the survey was ap-
pointed during the session Tues-
day afternoon. The subcommittee
is made up of Lee Roy Boehme,
chairman. H. B. Whitehead and
Walter C. Linden.
The chamber of commerce
housing committee is one of 10
groups set up to carry out the
chamber’s program of work for
this fiscal year. The program of
work was developed through
ouestionaires and panel discus-
sions held for the general mem-
bership.
One other subcommittee was
appointed by Browning during
the meeting Tuesday afternoon.
This group will work with archi-
tects, developers and financiers in
obtaining evidence necessary to
support a proposed application to
the FHA for a commitment on an
apartment-type rental project.
Such a project was proposed as
the initial approach to solving the
county’s housing problems,
Browning explained, because the
county now has no dwellings of
this type and none are contem-
plated by local developers pres-
ently engaged in housing con-
struction here.
On this subcommittee are Mel
Hyatt, chairman, George Craft
and R. R. Allen. Lt. Comdr.
Thomas E. Barnett will acj as ob-
server for the Navy.
Committee members present
were Alan Cameron, Elwin Fitch,
E. I. Hardy, J. D. Joiner, Linden,
J. W. Winfrey. Gary Smith, Rob-
ert Turoin, H. L. Woodworth,
Frank Zeto, Whitehead, Boehme,
Hyatt. Allen and Craft.
Others in attendance were H.
C. Cranfil! vice-president for
management of the Consolidated
Western Steel corporation; D. B.
Campbell, plant manager for the
Du Pont company, Frank Smith,
president, John W, Simmons, ex-
ecutive vice-president, and Sid J.
Caillavet, executive secretary of

agreement between
East and West. But the Western
powers, in a joint statement, said
they were “rather disappointed”
in the tone of his speech.
Vishinsky told the United Na-
tions political committee that since
the Big Four had agreed to set up
a new disarmament commission
“it enhances our hopes” that the
rival camps could agree on other
issues also.
This was generally interpreted
to mean that Russia would take
part In the commission’s work
even if It is set up under West-
ern-sponsored directives which
the Soviet Union opposes.
French Delegate Jules Moch
said, however, that Vishinsky
showed no tendency to budge
from positions which the West has
declared make impossible agree-
ment on atomic control and dis-
armament.
These positions, as restated by
Vishinsky today, call for an im-
mediate and unconditional prohi-
bition of the atomic weapon, and
the reduction of armed forces by
one third during one year.
The three Western powers want
a step-by-step reduction of armed
forces, under stringent interna-
tional supervision, which would
include prohibition of atomic-
weapons after a foolproof system
of safeguards had been set up.
After the joint committee ad-
journed until Thursday, the three
countries issued a joint statement.
They said:
“ We were rather disappoint-
ed in the tone of Mr. Vfshinsky’s
speech. He did, however, recog-
nize the work of the sub-com-
mittee (Big Four) as useful and
we shall continue our attempts
to enlarge the areas of agree-
ment.
Vishinsky said today the secret
Big Four disarmament talks, which
ended Monday, had accomplished
two useful things:
1. They had made the positions
of Russia oh the one hand and
Britain, France and the United
States on the other crystal clear.
2. Some secondary differences
had been removed.
MIG-15s Absent
From Korean Skies
SEOUL. Korea, Dec. 12 (AP)—
U. S. F-86 Sabre jet fighters to-
day swept over northwest Korea
but sighted none of the Commu-
nist MIG-15 jets that almost daily
flock out of Manchuri'a.
A U. S. Fifth Air Force sum-
mary said a U. S. F-80 Shooting
Star jet crashed and burned in
Red territory with “no chance of
pilot survival.” It gave no details.
Doughboys in mist-draped hills
across the front held their fire as
the twilight war continued.
A half dozen patrols poked out
across the hill country west of
Yonchon, holing up and calling for
artillery support at the first sign
of Reds.
West of the Punchbowl, on the
eastern front, one Red probing
force of about two platoons was
hurled back after a brief skirmish.
Elsewhere there ,was little to
report extept brief patrol contacts
in no-mar.’s-land.
Temperatures ranged from a
bone-chilling five degrees above
gero in the east to 40 above in the
west*

perforts dropped 70 tons of bombs

night screaming for “death to the
enemies of Mossadegh.”
T*hey came on bicycles, motor-
cycles, cars bearing huge pro-
Mossadegh banners and on foot.
Police made no effort to halt
the crowd as it moved on the
Majtlis (Parliament) building.
In which 15 opposition deputies
and 15 opposition editors are
taking refuge from what they
call government terrorists.
The crowd was much larger
than the one Tuesday which tried
to storm the Parliament building.
Troops stopped Tuesday’s crowd
at bayonet point.
Iran, wrestling with growing
economic woes, handed the West
today an ultimatum to buy Iran-
ian oil or see it sold to any would-
be buyer. Evidently the govern-
ment meant it would sell to So-
viet block nations.
The “buy or else” ultimatum,
giving the West 10 days, or un-
til Dee. 22, to agree, was de-
livered in the form of letters to
12 embassies and 24 legations
in Tehran. Observers here said
the ultimatum was evidence of
the deepening financial crisis
rausrd by the loss of revenues
from oil after nationalization of
British-owned Anglo - Iranian
Oil cem|iany properties.
While the government of Na-
tionalist Premier Mohammed
Mossadegh was delivering this
threat, 15 opposition deputies and
15 opposition newspaper editors
remained holed up in the Majlis
(Parliament) building. A spokes-
man for them aecused Mossa-
degh’s followers of “trying to
smoke us into the open, where
we could be killed by govern-
ment gangsters.”
