zalks themselves might be reopen- -tl shortly, as the Communists nive proposed. Neither side has mentioned such a reopening at the conferences on sick and iiounded.

Few Minor Points

Liaison officers go back today in Panmunjom to tackle the few minor points remaining before the formal signing takes place.

Plans call for the Communists in turn over 600 sick and wounded ii the rate of 100 a day. The Unit- zrl Nations command will deliver 3,100 North Korean and 700 Chin- esc sick and wounded at the rate of 500 a. day.

in another move in the Com- rnunist peace offensive. the North Korean radio at Pyongyang an- nounced that seven British civil- ians held since early in the war had been freed in Mtanchurla for repatriation.

Way Cleared

The Reds cleared the way late Thursday for the signing when they answered a handful of minor technical questions.

Earlier, almost complete agree- ment had been reached at Pan- munlom on a nine-point exchange plan submitted by Roar.-Adrmirai John Daniel, chief Allied liaison officer.

The biggest problem yet to be settled avppears to be the minor one of arranging reception cen- tres within the Panmanjom neut-

U.S. May Have Ideas To Add T 0 Peace Game

By J. M. Roberts. Ir.

Associated Press News Analyst

The United states may be pre- paring to throw some balls of its own into the new peace game be- gun two weeks ago by Russia. But It is not going to do anything which might confuse the issue of a truce in Korea.

Considerable confusion has been created by reports from Washing- ton that the administration has some plans for a divided Korea and at United Nations trusteeship for Formosa.

This apparently is.due to the around of ideas and policy making are two d:fferent things.

It would hardly seem likely that the U. S. and the United Nations could ever get away from the idea of a unified Korea. There is quite a possibility, however, that once having stated this stand in peace negotiations, it would then be used for bargaining purposes.

The U. S. and the Western Allies. for instance, have never recognized the German-Polish border arrange- ment. the Iron Curtain in Germany or in Austria. They are just facts that persist from year to year. A

BUENOS AIREB. (Reuters) - Juan Diiartc, brother-in-law President Peron who broke with the Argentine ruler this week over economic policy, was found Thurs- day with a bullet through his head. Duarte. brother of the late Eva Duarte Peron, was 39. He was found in his apartment ' by his chauffeur.

Duarie quit his job as Peron's secretary on Tuesday saying he did not feel able to carry out the president's new policy on wages and cost of living. Peron is crack- lug down on black-marketeers and Wednesday night announced an all-out attack against persons lie accused of smearing his regime.

Peron's Brother-In-Law Found Shot Th

rough Head

Four other ministers have quit

01 for the same reason as Duarte.

An unimpeachable source said Duarte had shot himself a few hours after he had heard his for- mer chief broadcast the bitterest speech of his career. denouncing scandal-mongering and promising investigation into the activity of all government servants.

News of Duties death swept

through the city like wildfire. Large crowds gathered outside his apartment.

Duarte was described as a man of charm and the Argenliiies most eligible bachel-or, as well as one of the country's most active busi- ness men.

CVITAWA (OP) - The Com-

mons defence committee ran into trouble Thursday over a peren- nial trouble-maker e. cost-(plus contracts.

As members moved into that

phase of defence exipenditures, R. J. Johnson, president of the gov- ernment-operated Defence Con- struction Ltd., stout-ly defended his action in not caning. for tenders for seven contracts estimated to be worth 55,483,000 at the ROA.F's big Goose Bay, Labrador. airport 550 miles northwest of St. John's, Nfid. All seven contracts were giv- en to the Terminal Construction irm.

Advocates Tenders

His defence was made against statements by E. D. Fulton ,(PC- Ksmloops), that there is lno way of knowing how much leg the work might have cost the country because no effort was made by DCL to find out what other con- tractors would ask for it. He sug- gested that the way to find out would have been to allow con- tractors to bid on tenders.

Mr. Johnson said he could not

definitely prove the construction job would have cost the 'govern- ment less if tenders had been cali- ed instead of assigning the work to Terminal Construction on I cost-rplus basis. But he added that he was satis- fied the job had been done as cheaply as possible in view of the "remoteness" of the airfield. Ter- minal Construction already was doing work at Goose Bay and was familiar with the terrain.

Mr. Johnson said calling for tenders for such a Job would have been a ”waste of time." They would have been so high the gov-

ernment could not have possibly accepted them. Mr. Fulton insisted that Mr.

Johnson had no way of knowing whether. in fact. the work could have been done more cheaply by

' another contractor.

13 Years Experience

Mr. Johiison said he had had is years' exiperience in the con- struction industry and that in his opinion the job could not have been done for less money by call- ing tenders. The only way to find out definitely would have been to build two similar projects on the same site aiici compare the costs. Mr. Johnson said Terminal con- struction: fee for the Job - 8200.- 000-twas "very modest." The fee was based on five per cent for the first 52,000,000 worth of construc- tion, four per cent between 00,000.- con and 83,000,000 and three per cent above 03,000,000.

U. S. Amlidssador Calls ll "Stale. Old Record"

UNITEID NATIONS, N.Y.. (AP) -Russia's Andrei Vlshinsky 'l'liiirs-

velopmenis. ,

U, S. ambassador Ernest Gross ll1'0mDll.V lagged VisIhinsky's two- lioiir siieecli to the UN political committcic as "stale, dull and re-. irresslve - an old record played for the fourth time in as many vears." Obviously surprised that Vishin-o sky's proposals did not reflect the, 9-Dmrent new trend of conciliation, coiriiiis: from Moscow. Gross told Visliiiiskv the Americaii people are, "willing to go half way," i "T119 nuestion is: Half-way to ii-hat?" Gross added. '

The Old Proposals

g Here are the proposals that Vis-h- , insky and his Polfsh associate. Fain ; eign Minister stanisiaiw Sk-rzes- zewski, said would ease tension and help briiirz peace:

1. For the West to stop stuffing arms into its pockets and stop building un its armed forces,

2, Ban the atomic bomb immed- lately and cut the armed strength of the five great powers by one- bird.

3. Dissolve the North Atlantic Treaty Ortzanizatlon. abandon the Schuman Plan, 'the European De- fence Community, and stop plans for re-armiiic Western Germany.

All these have been rejected byi formal UN votes. 1

The only new element intmduc-L ed by Vlsliinsky and Skrzes7.ewski was a revision which in effect rec- ognized the recent developments in Korea.

Vishinsky endorsed the Polish re- solution, It calls for "the immed- iate resumption of truce negotia- tions between the parties, it being understood that in the course of such negotiations the parties will exert every effort to reach agree-

A

The original Polish resolution of- fered last. October simply called for "the return of all-prisoners of war to their homeland. in accord- ance with international standards."

The UN voted down that section in an earlier discussion of the Korean question.
