Ike Against Appeasement
Of Communists In Korea
Only Honorable
Peace, Pledges
Chief In Report
WASHINGTON, June 4 -UP-
President Eisenhower assured the
nation Wednesday night hi? admin-
* istration will neither tolerate a
“new Munich" nor risk a “general
war” in its effort to achieve an
honorable peace in Korea and the
world.
In an unprecedented television
report from the White House, Mr.
Eisenhower sought to put his coun-
trymen at ease regarding Ameri-
can policy in the current critical
armistice negotiations at Panmun-
jom.
He said bluntly he would not be
| a party to appeasing communism.
At the same time, he vowed his
resistance to an expanded war "be-
cause a modern war would be too
horrible to contemplate.”
The President offered these sober
thoughts as he made his debut as
moderator of a folksy discussion of
government problems in which four
of his cabinet officers served as a
supporting cast.
Wearing pancake makeup and a
pastel shirt preferred by TV dl-
l' rectors to convention white, the
President handled himself with the
ease and confidence of a profes-
sional performer as he master-
minded his forum for 27 minutes
over all TV networks. The show
was silulcast or rebroadcast later
by the radio chains.
Chatted Informally
As he chatted with the attorney
general and the secretaries of
treasury, agriculture and health,
education and welfare, the Presi-
. dent made no effort to give his list-
r eners any startling new policy pro-
nouncement.
Instead, Mr. Elsenhower and his
colleagues concentrated on infor-
mal assurance and explanation —
an effort to answer in kitchen lan-
guage current questions about the
excess profits tax, the size of the
Air Force, crop surpluses and the
complicated federal budget.
The President’s strong stand
against any appeasement of com-
2 munism apparently was aimed at
* some Americans — including sev-
eral leading Republicans and Dem-
ocrats in Congress — who have
expressed serious misgivings about
the value of a truce in Korea.
“There is going to be no new
Munich,” he said firmly, “And at
the same time there’s going to be
no risk of a general war because a
modern war would be too horrible
to contemplate.”
Republican lawmakers generally
praised the program as an effec-
0 tive way to present the adminis-
tration’s policy to the people. But
some Democrats suggested it glos-
sed over basic facts. Sen. Wayne
L. Morse I-Ore.) snapped: “I’ve
seen better vaudeville shows.”
The President — using graphic
TV charts worked out by his staff,
experts from the television indus-
try and New York advertising
agency specialists, explained his
defense program as “very large
but . . . logical.”
#' He sought to quell criticism of
reductions in Air Force appropria-
tions by saying, “we are not going
to cripple this nation and we’re go-
ing specifically to keep up its air
power.”
Discusses Bermuda
Using simple terms, he referred
briefly to his planned Bermuda
meeting later this month with Bri-
tish Prime Minister Winston
Churchill and the French premier.
“I'm going over to Bermuda,”
•»' he said, "to meet with some of our
friends and talk over s.iese things.”
He joined Treasury Secretary
George M. Humphrey in the ad-
mittedly odious chore of advocating
extension of the excess profits tax
for the remainder of the calendar
year.
Mrs. Oveta Culp Hobby, photo-
genic secretary of health, educa-
tion and welfare, told in a poised,
slightly southern accent of her
plans to submit a bill to Congress
t soon for coverage of additional
“thousands" of persons under the
old age and survivors insurance
program.
Two Local Boys
To Boys' State
Jerry Shackelford and John C.
Morris, juniors at Newman High
School, have been selected by a
1 school faculty committee to attend
the 1953 Boys State at Austin, July
7-13.
Boys’ State is sponsored by the
Texas department of the American
Legion to give boys an opportunity
to study local and state government
and participate in model govern-
ment operations for the week.
Sweetwater Post of the Ameri-
can Legion is sponsoring these two
boys, joined by the Rotary and
Lions Clubs as co-sponsors. Post
Commander W. R. Penlck said.
Boys chosen are selected on the
basis of all-around school-citizen-
ship in the high school junior class.
Shackelford is the son of Mr. and
Mrs. J. D. Shackelford and Morris

Truce Prospect
Grows Brighter
WASHINGTON, June 4 — UP—
The Communist answer to the
United Nations truce plan was re-
ported Thursday to have raised
hopes that an early armistice in
Korea is possible.
Optimism that a truce could be
near was reflected soon after the
report on the latest Panmunjom
negotiations was received from the
United Nations negotiators. Their
report was under closest scrutiny
at the White House, State and De-
fense Departments.
There was no official comment
but indications were that the Com-
munists had accepted the major
Allied proposals and that only min-
or differences remained to be ne-
gotiated.
The general feeling here was
that the Communists and the Allies
had moved closer to a solution of
the key issue of repatriating war
prisoners than they had at any
time during the marathon truce
talks.

Fiery A-Blast Glow
LAS VEGAS, Nev., June 4 —UP
—The brilliant fireball of what was
probably the most powerful atomic
bomb ever set off in the United
States lit up the western sky from
southern Canada and the skyscrap-
ers of San Francisco to Colorado
early Thursday.
Results of the test and details
were not revealed.
The twice-postponed explosion
came exactly on schedule, at 6:15
a.m. cst, turning night into day
for nearly a minute and a half
with a fiery fury seen for hundreds
of miles in all directions.

Sgt. C. G. Banel
Wins Bronze Star
WITH THE 25TII INFANTRY
DIV. IN KOREA - Army Sgt.
Charles G. Banett, son of Mr. and
Mrs. P. P. Banett, 607 W. Ninth
St., Sweetwater, Texas, was re-
cently awarded the Bronze Star
Medal for meritorious service in
Korea.
Sergeant Banett is a squad lead-
er in the 35th Regiment of the
25th Infantry Division.
The 25th has been in Korea long-
er than any other American di-
vision. It entered the fighting in
July 1950 shortly after the Com-
munists attacked the Republic of
Korea.
Banett entered the Army in No-
vember 1951, received basic train-
ing at Fort Ord, Calif., and arrived
in Korea in June 1952.
He is a former Sweetwater High
School student.
1,000 miles north of here, and a
point near Los Barriles, Mexico,
1,150 miles south, reported seeing
the brilliant glow.
Seen in Colorado
It also was seen near Rifle,
Colo., 450 miles away, the most
easterly point ever to see one of
the Nevada blasts.
The blast was heard and felt,
as well as seen, in Los Angeles,
some 300 miles to the west. The
flash itself lasted only briefly be-
cause of a low overcast. At about
4:38 a.m. two “thuds" were heard,
about two seconds apart, followed
10 or 15 seconds later by a short
rumble as of distance thunder,
strong enough to rattle window
frames.
The flash came from detonation
of a top-secret experimental de-
vice inside an A-bomb casing, drop-
ped from an Air Force B-50 bom-
ber and exploded about 2,000 feet
above the Yucca Flat proving
ground, 65 miles northwest of here.
One observer said he was blind-
ed temporarily for the first time.
For at least one minute and 22
seconds, the light was bright
enough for him to read his watch.
VANDENBERG
QUESTIONS
AIR CUTS
WASHINGTON, June 4 —UP—
The cause of the shake-up in the
Joint Chiefs of Staff which deposed
Adm. William M. Fechteler long
before expiration of his term
seems now to have been revealed.
Fechteler made the mistake of
siding with the Air Force in the
argument over how many combat
airplanes are needed to defend this
country.
Gen. Hoyt S. Vandenberg ex-
posed Fechteler’s mistake. Van-
denberg retires from the Air Force
and as chief of the air staff on
June 30 when his term expires. He
testified Wednesday before a Sen-
ate Appropriations subcommittee
that he and the other members of
the joint chiefs took a firm posi-
tion against Eisenhower adminis-
tration economy plans last March.
Was Demoted
They told Defense Secretary
Charles E. Wile.' that any reduc-
tion of the Air Force goal of 143
wings by July 1956 would invite
security risks beyond the dic-
tates of national prudence." Fech-
teler was committed to that view-
point.
Fechteler’s demotion was an-
nounced in May.
Dismissal of the admiral and his
assignment to a substantial NATO
command in the Mediterranean
had not been expected. But the
necessity of getting rid of him was

“The real significance of breed-

possible for mankind ultimately to

be extracted from the earth's sur-
face for atomic fuel, whether it is
fissionable or not in its natural
state.”

Chamber Of Commerce
Leader Speaks Here
On National Affairs
In an effort to work with local
business leaders and to assist the
Sweetwater Board of City Develop-
ment in its study of national legis-
lation. Lester G. Flesner, Houston,
nrogram advisor for the United
States Chamber of Commerce, met
Thursday with members of the
Chamber's board of directors and
national affairs committee.
Flesner illustrated modern tech-
niques being used by leading cham-
bers of commerce in the field of
national affairs, and discussed is-
sues now before Congress.
Flesner outlined three functions
for a national affairs committee
. . . (1) organization of study
groups to evaluate the basic issues
before the national congress: (2'
organization of a volunteer corres-
pondence corps to advise congress-
men and senators of the business-
man’s point of view on legislative
issues; (3) organization of a system
to inform the public on vital legis-
lative Issues.
Emphasizing the need for ex-
pressing the business viewpoint,
the national Chamber representa-
tive called for plain talk on the
“grass-root” level regarding na-
tional legislation. He said the new
administration in Washington is
asking for the counsel of local
businessmen.
Henry Bennett said "the Jaycees
were not in competition with the
regular trash haulers, and the only
purpose in doing this is to help the
people get rid of trash and rub-
bish that is not needed. This is the
trash that has been collecting over
a period of time.
“Each business will be asked
to furnish one man in order to
make it a complete city job,” Ben-
nett said.

one willing to furnish a truck is
asked to contact Hei..„ Jennett

Bennett said "if a drive, would

public “watch for these things so
that every thing could be handled

Counter-Proposal
Identical On Big
Issues—Message
Sent To Washington
PANMUNJOM. Korea, Friday,
June 5 —UP—Communist armis-
tice negotiators gave the United
Nations a formal counter-proposal
for ending the Korean war “extra-
ordinarily” close to the latest Al-
lied plan, a source close to the
UN truce team said Friday.
All major points in the Red pro-
posal were identical to those in
the "final” UN offer for compro-
mising the prisoner of war issue
which has deadlocked the truce
negotiations, the source said.
The Communist counter-propos-
I al, read to Allied representatives
at a secret session Wednesday,
apparently brought peace in Ko-
rea closer than it has been since
! truce taiks opened nearly two
! years ago.
The Red reply was rushed to

windows of the truce hut watched

Choi remained in Seoul to confer

He told Korean newsmen his boy-
