To Ignore Korean
SEOUL (AP)—Gen Mark Clark, U.N. commander, con-
ferred today with President Syngman Rhee, then an-
nounced he can sign an armistice without South Korean
approval, but he said doing, so would “depend on instruc-
tions from my government.”
“I am authorized at the present time to sign the armis-
tice which has been drawn up,” he told newsmen after what
was apparently a showdown meeting with the rebellious

be on fire, and it was, in a way.
The high weeds and grass that
have grown along the two small
creeks that run through the park
were being burned. That was
fine, as the weeds and grass did
not add anything to the very at-
tractive park. As one man point-
ed out, “Why wouldn’t it be a good
idea to clean up all the creeks and
branches that run through Den

tractive and detract from the ap-

Clark said he could not reveal

on an armistice was not apparent.
Although Clark indicated the

NEW YORK In — Funeral ser-
vices for Julius and Ethel Rosen-
berg erupted yesterday into tear-
ful praise of the electrocuted atom
spies and angry attacks on U. S.
government officials.
Defense Atty. Emanuel Bloch
declared in a funeral oration that
the executions were “an act of
cold, deliberate murder.”
He said he placed “the murder
of the Rosenbergs st the door of
President Eisenhower, Atty. Gen.
Brownell and J. Edgar Hoover."
Bloch praised the New York City
couple—who died Friday night in
the electric chair at Sing Sing Pris-
on—for what he called their “cou-
rage and heroism."
Semi-orthodox Jewish services
were held for the Rosenbergs at a
Brooklyn funeral home chapel,
largest in the Brooklyn-Manhattan
area. About 500 mourners jammed
the chapel, and a crowd estimated
by police at 10,000 milled around
outside in 93-degree heat.
The chapel filled with hisses and
murmurs of "No” when Rabbi
Abraham Cronbach said, "Let us
give them (the prosecutors) credit
for this: that they did what they
thought was right.”

charge that he murdered his Lub-

The state and defense both an-

began on the list of 200-man ven-
ire for jury selection.
The men snd spectators filled
the hot courtroom. Fans whined
overhead.
Whitaker, 21, said he would
plead “not guilty” to the indict-
ment of killing his girl and bury-
ing her nude body in a cotton field
near Lubbock last January.
He came to court wearing a gray
suit and green sports shirt and sat
chewing gum. His wealthy parents
sat behind him.
Young Whitaker is charged in
the death of Joyce Fern White, 18,
a brown - haired, freckle - faced
Lubbock high school senior. She
disappeared Jan. 8.
Whitaker led officers to her shal-
low grave 9 miles from Lubbock
st dawn Jan. 28. He grabbed a
shovel from an officer and uncov-
ered the body. Her clothing and
a length of cord were found in
holes near the grave. Dist. Atty.
Travis Shelton said the girl had
been strangled with a sash cord.
Young Whitaker’s parents also
strived yesterday, coming from

Churchill Says
LONDON e — Prime Minister
Churchill told a cheering House of
Commons today “we have not
committed ourselves in any way
to go forward and conquer the
whole area of Korea and place it
! under the authority of M. Syng-
man Rhee.”
At the same time, the Prime
Minister disclosed Britain had sent
, a stiff note to Rhee denouncing
his “treacherous action."
। Churchill said the South Korean
President’s relesse of thousands
I I of anti-Communist prisoners of
war had created a situation “full
, of danger."
Churchill said “the matter is ob-
viously verye serious. We can all
see the casting away of the fruits
of these years of fighting.”
He said the U. S. had a “very
heavy burden to bear” in the
guarding of the prisoners, explain-
ing that the U. S. had moved
. “about 30,000 troope from guard-
. ing prisoners to the holding of the
front.”
The British protest note to Rhee,
' delivered.bsetbe British minister
in South Korea today, told him:
“As a member of the U. N.
whose military forces are partici-
pating in the Korea action Her
Majesty's government strong-
ly condemns this treacherous vio-
lation of the authority of the U. N.
command to which the govern-
ment of Korea had agreed in 1950.
“Moreover, Her Majesty’s gov-
ernment understapds that during
recent weeks the government of
the Republic of Korea have ac-
tually reaffirmed this position by
assurances to the U. N. Commsnd
that no unilateral action of this
I kind would be taken by them."

desperate ruling Communists ad-
mitted today that strikes and vio-

Kremlin - puppet regime and
charged “foreign planes” have
parachuted saboteurs Into the Rus-
sian zone to keep the flames of
rebellion burning.
A statement by the Socialist
Unity (Conmunist) party's Central
Committee said a “groat number”
of the parachutists had been cap-
tured, but admitted that ta tto
sixth day of martial law carried
on by Russian troope and armor,
“quite is not yet entirely secured."
As reports flew that the Russians
were about to throw out the satel-
lite East German government of
Prime Minister Otto Grotewohl,
the party declaration attested to
the still-continuing strikes with
frantic appeals to the 18 million
captive East Germans to go back
to work. .
Throwing off restraint, the state-
ment made clear the magnitude
of the workers’ rebellion the most
gigantic rebuff from a captive
civilian population in the history
of Moscow-directed communism.
The “enemy,” the Communists
said, incited "millions" of Kant
Germans to take to the streets in
wild disorder and “threatened the
security and lives of workers of
(East) German Democratic Re-
public."

ned to incite farmers to destroy
