UN Repatriation Group Violates Pact, U.S. Says
Panmunjom, Korea —(U.P.)— U.S. officials accused the Neutral Nations Repatriation commission today of circulating vicious Red propaganda leaflets among 15,000 anti-communist Chinese prisoners
The United Nations command said the leaflets violated the spirit of the armistice agreement by placing undue emphasis on the desirability of accepting repatriation.
Brig. Gen. A. L. Hamblin, commander of the UN repatriation group, handed the letter of protest to Lt. Gen. K. S. Thorayya, chairman of the repatriation commission.
Gen. Thorayya earlier had put himself on record as favoring communist demands on the method of interrogating prisoners and it appeared the Reds had won their right to force captives to listen to lectures.
It was expected that rules on interviews will be announced Monday or Tuesday.
Gen. Hamblin said the letter was given to the prisoners in the guise of a message from the repatriation commission.
He objected particularly to a phrase which advised the Chinese that if they desire to "return to your fatherland you can still go. In this respect, you will receive assistance from the authorities of the place where you choose to go."
The UN complained the commission violated the armistice agreement by not permitting allied observers to witness the distribution of leaflets.
None of the 23 Americans among the 359 Allied prisoners of the Communists has been contacted by the UN.
Gen. Thorayya of India, chairman of the repatriation commission, disclosed that the five-nation group favors two Red proposals interviewing 22,500 anti-communist Chinese and North Koreans and more than 359 Allied non-repatriates, including 23 Americans.
Gen. Thorayya said the commission believes the prisoners should be interviewed either singly or as a group to be determined by the explainers.
The Indian general also said his commission favors compelling prisoners to attend one session of explanations during the 90 days they will spend in the custody of Indian guards.
The UN bitterly opposed the Red plan for interviewing prisoners individually on the ground that "explainers" might intimidate captives into returning to Communism against their will.
Communist officials proposed the two plans over the objections of the United Nations command which suggested interviewing the prisoners in groups of not less than 25 and only if they wanted to attend.

Slavs Reject Italian Plan
Belgrade, Yugoslavia (U.P.)-Yugoslavia today formally rejected Italy's proposal for a piebiscite to settle the controversy over Trieste.
The Yugoslav government nance a note to the Italian legation, repeating arguments that a plebiscite would be acceptable only if a series of measures were taken in advance to "create full power and equality" for the Slovenian and Croatian population.
The note called for steps to "repair the results of the denationalization policy at the expense of the Yugoslav population which was undertaken during the period of Italian domination of Trieste."
Yugoslavia said it saw no possibility of the measures being taken on behalf of the Slovenian and Croatian inhabitants.
"Therefore it is obliged to declare that it cannot accept the proposals' or a plebiscite made in the Italian government's note of Sept. 13, 1953," he note said.
The note also rejected Italy's proposal for a five-power conference restricted only to the plebiscite and said under present conditions it (the Yugoslav government) was not willing to consider any international conference on the subject.
The note recalled "the atmosphere created by Italian military demonstrations along the Italian-Yugoslav frontier makes any kind of understanding difficult and only along the road of peace-loving cooperation can we regulate the mutual conflicts between the two countries."

New York—(U.P.)The orphaned International Long-shoremen's association handed the AFL an ultimatum today that may lay the battle line for an all-out union "war" involving 60,000 Atlantic and Gulf Coast dock workers.
The ILA, ousted from the AFL for tolerating gangsterism and corruption in its ranks, served notice its members would refuse to load or unload any ship manned by AFL seamen if the AFL went ahead with plans to organize a rival union of longshoremen.
ILA Threatens Strike If New Union Formed
A clear-cut loyalty fight took shape between union forces remaining with the rebuffed ILA, headed by fiery Joseph P. Ryan, and those siding with the parent AFL and the new longshoremen's union to be organized this week.
Your college graduation ring, a recognized symbol of your achievement, in 10 Kt. gold. Wide choice of stones.
The AFL organizers made their first target the Brooklyn waterfront, traditional sore spot of hoodlum rule and union racketeering. Law enforcement officials were mobilizing for what they feared would be an outbreak of terrorism and violence.
The ILA ultimatum raised the threat of work stoppages that could tie up thousands of tons of shipping at Atlantic and Gulf Coast ports, depending on the effectiveness of Ryan's call for loyalty. Ships serving those ports are now tied to both CIO and AFL seamen, and presumably the CIO-manned ships would be unaffected by any boycott.
The weekend saw these developments in the turbulent dock workers situation:
1. A "special strategy committee" of the ousted ILA notified the AFL its members would refuse to work any ships manned by members of the AFL Seafarers International union if the latter union takes part as planned in the organization of a rival longshoremen's association.
The committee, which claimed to have "solid" backing of 85 locals in the ILA's Atlantic Coast district, also promised to "protect" the $15,-000,000 in pension and welfare funds on deposit for union members.
2. The designation of Capt. William V. Bradley, head of the ILA's tugboat division, as chairman of the strategy committee gave strength to rumors Mr. Ryan would be replaced eventually as head of the union. Mr. Ryan is under grand jury indictment for mis-use of union funds.

3. A spokesman for the ILA said prospects "look fairly good" for settlement of the wage dispute between the Ryan-bossed union and the New York Shipping association. The present contract covering New York dock workers expires Wednesday midnight, but the union has never made a definite threat to strike if a new contract is not signed by them.

4. Mr. Ryan called a mass meeting of Brooklyn longshoremen for
7:30 p.m. today to lay plans for meeting the AFL organization drive. Phamphlets were distributed attacking the new AFL union as the tool of "a few opportunists among us who are trying to make some big money and nice soft berths for themselves."
5. The AFL Longshoremen's association, issued a charter last week, will hold its first meeting in Brooklyn tomorrow night. The new organization is expected to seek its first support in the old ILA Local 1191-1, whose officials have announced they would desert Mr. Ryan and stick with the AFL.
Brooklyn Judge Samuel S. Leibowitz called officials of the police department and district attorney's office to a meeting today to discuss measures to control the expected violence when the rival groups of longshoremen vie for strength in Brooklyn.

Whittier, Calif. —(UP)— The world's champion milk producing cow, Pansco Hazel Excellent, has died of old age at the nearby Pellissier Dairy farm.
The champion cow, which won the world title Aug. 5, 1952, succumbed yesterday at the ripe old bovine age of 18, which dairymen said was equivalent to over 100 human years. The cow produced a total of 275,000 pounds of milk before she was retired last winter.
