MUNSAN, Korea, (AP) - The i'nited Nations command Sunday tiatly rejected a Communist pro- posal that Red Cross activity be ;.-strictcti in the exchange of'more 'ii.an 87,000 war prisoners starting Wednesday.

The Communist repatriation sub- immmittee of the military arm- :-tic: commission sought to con. confine 00-man joint Red cross 'P1lfll8 to Kacsorig, Red truce head. qzizirtcrs in North Korea. and to Munsan, the Allied headquarters .n the south.

However. col. L. D, Buttolph. acting as senior member of the UN repatriation commission, sharply reminded the Reds that the armistice agreement called for Red Cross teams to Visit all prison camps to comfort the Prisoners and distribute gift articles.

The joint repatriation group was scheduled to meet again today at Pmmnlovm and sign an "order of of procedure" agreement, wrapping up all details of the Red Cross in- apections.

Plan To Make South Korea Show Window

By JOHN M. 1-ffcif-ITOWER

WASHINGTON, (AP)-President Eisenhower has approved a. plan to rebuild war-wrecked South Korea. into a show window of the free world by using United States troops in the work of rehabilita- tion.

This was disclosed Saturday by State Secretary Dulles, who de- scribed the program to diplomats representing 15 other nations including Canada - with fighting forces in Korea. He urged them to consider using their forces in the same way.

The meeting was held at the state department behind closed doors but U. S. officials later re- ported what Dulles had said.

Leaving For Far East

Dulles, who has already visited Europe and the Middle East in his six months in office. will fly to the Far East today to confer with President Syngman Rhee on post-armistice political pi ' a. He will try to tighten the co-opera- tion between the United States. which wants to nail down peace in Korea, and Rhee's government

Rhee Pledges

SEOUL, (AP)-President Syng- man Rhee pledged Sunday that the Republic of Korea would co- operate completely with the United Nations during a political confer- ence with the Communists so long as the UN "stands firmly" by its objectives of reuniting this divided country.

The 70-year-old chief executive set forth his views in a written statement in reply to questions submitted to him by foreign cor- respondents.

The statement was released by the government information office even as State Secretary Dulles left Washington for conferences this week with Rhee.

Eestating his views. Rhee made clear that South Korean had only postponed its own efforts to unite Korea "for a certain time limit"

BERLIN, (AP) - East German troops and police crushed hunger riots in the Soviet zone Sunday night and barred i8.000.000 needy from free American food in West Berlin.

The Red blockade of this tempor- ary relief capital cut off nearly all highway and rail traffic from five Russian-occupied provinces.

Heavily-armed infantry battal- ions were thrown into the highway crackdown which reinforced a rail- way travel ban imposed Saturday night.

Will Demonstrate Bus Gas Turbine

Powered By

lly DAVID J. WILKIE

DE'I'ROIT. (AP)-A biia powered with a gas turbine engine soon will be demonstrated by one of the major auto makers.

What its future may -be ia a subject of increasing speculation among automotive engineers. Its application to conventional passen- ger cars still is uncertain.

The gas turbine engine they say, will find its most. economical ap- plication in vehicles designed for long distance hauling.

There have been tests, of course, with gas turbines in passenger cars. In the early experiments fuel consumption has been very high and the need for reduction of speed has been something of an engineering problem.

Advocates of the gas turbine power plant. say they have made substantial progress in overcoming these disadvantages. Some of them predict further progress that might

bring the turbine into passenger car use. Bill.

iBus Accidjnl

l

MORRISBURG. Ont. (CP)-On- tario provincial police are await- ing improvement in the condition of two injured drivers to learn the full story of Friday's tragedy tha: look 20 lives in the Williamsburg canal.

One of the drivers is 30-year-old Lorne Chesbrough of Kingston. ()nt., driver of the Colonial Coach Lines Toronto-Montreal express bus which hit a stalled truck two miles west of here and plunged into the canal. The other is Max Roodman. 40. of Toronto. driver of the truck.

Both are in hospital at Cornwall suffering from shock.

The pair are expected to be key witnesses in an inquiry into what actually happened in the early- mornlng tragedy. An inquest hi5 been tentatively set for next Fri- day in Morrlsburg.

Hospital authorities at Cornwall said Sunday the condition of Rood- man was "unchanged." Interview- ed in hospital Sunday. Roodman gave only a. garbled version of what

happened. Condition of Chcsebroiigh who regained Luau-n.l0U3l'lES8 Saturday

afternoon was said to be "improv- ing.” He and Roodman along with 17 of the 31 bus passengers were rescued after both bus and truck plunged down a 30-foot embank- nleflb info is feet of water in the canal.

Those who died were trapped in the submerged bus and drowned before they muld fight their way clear. The survivors, dozing before the nrcldont. were unable to say how it happened.

All of the bodies have now been identified and relatives have either claimed them or been notified.

So far authorities have not in- dicated if any charges will be laid in is expected this will be deter- Imiiied by findings at the inquest.

automotive power plant designers say the American motorist will rely on internal combustion gash-i .llne engines for many years to, i com:-.

Tlicy say the maximum efficien- cy of the inlemal combustion gaso- line engines has not yet been reach- ed; that it is constantly undergo- ing refinement and proniisrs to be as far ahead of other forms of Milo-

as it is today.

our of all the research being carried on with the internal com- bustion gasoline engine undoub- tedly will come a reduction in over-all size with perhaps even greater power output, and no sac- rifice of smoothness of operation.

The engine builders are aiming at this and hope to couple with it a new concept of silent opera- tion. They say if they can do this with an internal combustion gam- line engine it will take some start- ling discovery in gas turbine. dr- vclnpment or atomic energy to dis- place the time-honored gasoline power plant.
