Beds Reminded Of Allied Air. Sea Might

BY STAN CARTER

U. N. ADVANCE HEADQUART- ERS, Korea, Aug. 4-(Saturday)- (AP) -Deadlocked Allied and Communist armistice negotiators headed today for their 19th ses- sion at Kaesong, scheduled for ll am. (9 pm. EDT Friday).

The Reds were left at Friday's inconclusive session with this pointed reminder:

In their insistence on the 28th parallel as a demarcation line. the Reds are dealing with only one of three points; the Allied and and naval fronts extend over most of North Korea. and the Allies are entitled to some compensation for this in fixing a buffer zone.

The Peiping radiogsaid earlier tday that Lt.-Gen. Nam Ii, the chief Red delegate rejected "any argument which boasts of the ef- fects of n'enzied bombardment by naval and air forces..."

(In Washington, Allied officials were reported determined to con- tinue the truce talks just as long as the Communists are wil-lind- lnformod sources said Gen. Mat- thew Ridgway and top Washing- ton officials agree on the need for patience and persistence in deal-

. ing with the Chinese and Korean

Reds. .

as saying that Rldgway rlday night rejected outright Commun- lat demands for a buffer zone along the semi parallel. Rldg-way will call a peace talk showdown shortly. the spokesman said. ("The next few days will de-

l ,

clde whether the war is going to stop on our own terms or con- tinue on a far more savage and bitter scale," the spokesman add- ed.)

Hope that her klusfolk in Prince Edward Island would join together in a Clan MacLeod society. or join the parent society in Edinburgh. in order to strengthen the ties which bind all MacLeods together. was voiced last, night by Mrs. Flora MacLeod of MacLeod.

Senator Harry Byrd (Dem. Vs). said he had been told by Gen. .1. Lawton Collins. army chief of staff. that a majority of the West Point. foobball team was involved in breaking the academy's code of honor.

The army was light-lipvped about details of the misconduct of its student. officers. Byrd reported. however, that Collins said the cheating had been going on for four or five years.

It was reported that the same questions were used for exams given at different times. Men who took them first passed the questions on to cadets scheduled to lake later exams.

There will still be football at West Point this fall. Army sour- ces said Maj.-Gen. Frederick Irv- im, the academy! superintendent. has promised that the team will play out its schedule even if West Point were to lose every game 100-0.

Collins was said to have blamed an over-emphasis on football for the unexpected breakdown in the soadsmy's honor system. Byrd quoted him as saying that the cribbing started among the foot- ball players, who found it diffi- cult to item up with their work while spending so much time pnetlslng.

(iartlinc.-rwfells Of Plans Al Press Conference

OTTAWA. Aug. 3 - (CF) -The government today banned butter imports by private trade and ap- pointed itself sole importing agent with power to buy up to 20,000,000 pounds to avert a possible butter shortage next winter.

It also held out the hope tha. it may indirectly and temporarily boost the 58-cent-a-pound fhor price on butter to entice a Jew thousand pounds into empty gov- ernment larclers.

Agriculture Minister Gardiner told a press conference that a newly-created Agricultural Pro- ducts Board has been given auth- ority to import 10.000000 pounds from butter countries at prices to be negotiated.

In addition. it has been given power to obtain options on ano'r.er 10,000,000 pounds to be purchased in the event that butter produc- tion in Canada falls below curt--nt. estimates.

The National Dairy Council spokesman for the Canadian Dairy Council. expressed grunltudc with the "expeditious manner” in which Mr. Gardiner had dealt with the Problem. W. K. St. lohn. council secretary. said in an interview rnat the council had made representa- tions on the possible shortage sev- eral weeks ago.

Will Control Price

Mr. Gardiner said the govern- ment's butter plan will act as a price control. Butter accumulated by the government will -be sold to the trade at cost. plus storage charges. on the understanding that the butter will be sold to consum- crs at only a small. fixed margin or profit.

Similar steps were taken last year. but the government's stocks of some 38.000000 pounds ran cut' before the winter ended and for a few weeks retail butter prices rose by 15 and W cents a pound. '

Mr. Gardiner disclosed that Can- ada is trying to obtain butter from a variety of sources. including New Zealand. Australia and the Neih-l erlands. '

Funds to cover payment for the Gardiner. like- lil will he voted by Parliament at the next session opening Oct. 9.

Butter production in Canada. now is running about 9,000,000 pounds lower than a year ago.

The new board. created by cab- inet. this week, replaces three oth- er boards which now go out of existence. They are the Agricul- ture D9Dll'tment's boards deaflng with dairy products, meat and special products. All problems con- sidered by these boards now win he handled by the new organiza-
