Britain, India Seek Compromise To End Fighting In Korea

LONDON. Jan. 9 C (db) - Britain and India tonight were re- ported seeking a compromise be- tween American and Communist Chinese positions to end the Korean war and so sidestep a United Na- Zions showdown.

Backed broadly by their seven partners. the two British Ccmmon- wealth members hope thus to pre- serve Commonwealth unity and stave off a possible rift with the United States.

At Lake success. N. Y.. the U.N. prepared to make one final appeal to Peiping for peace in Korea be- fore taking up an American de- mand that the Chinese Communists be branded as aggressors.

This step, urged Monday by Brit- ish delegate sir Gladwyn Jebb. will delay action on the American pro- pcsal 10 days or more.

would Include China

The Commonwealth leaders agreed that Communist China should be invited to take part in negotiations for a Japanese peace treaty. They considered it possible to accord spe- cial recognition to the Pelping Gov- ernment for this one purpose only.

But on the issue of granting rec- ognition in the wide sense to Mac Tze-Tung's regime the nine Com- monwealth nations remained split, Australia. New Zenlond. Ssuth Ai- rica and Canada opposed it.

The Commonwealth prime minis- ters, mid-way through a 10-day conference on the world crisis. also failed to agree on the future of Formosa.

India and Britain wanted to stand by the wartime Cairo declaration under; 'Iihi.ch Japan would cede For- mosa to China at the peace settle- merit.

The Domlnions who have not rec- ognized China leaned towards re- cent American proposals that the Formosan question he left open for discussion by the Council of For- eign Ministers.

But the major split is over Com-

Sword Stolen from Shine in London

LONDON. Jan. 9 - (OP) Scotland Yard. hot on the search for the stolen Stone oi Scone. was told that Britannia's sword is also missing today.

The four-foot bronze sword was attached to I girdle round the fig- ue of Britannia seated at the base of a statue of Scotsman Lord Clyde. the Indian Mutiny hero.

It was reported missing last night by the Ministry of Works. probably swiped some time last Saturday night or early Sunday morning. The statue is in Waterloo Place. right off Pall Mall. in the heart of Lon- don.

Scotland Yard detectives. still mystilied by the disappearance of the Coronation Stone from West- minister Abbey Christmas Day. were switched to the new theft.

Detectives. scratching their heads. asked this question: "Who took it?"

Could it have been supporters cf the Cardiff soccer team to demon- strate iiheir support of Welsh home rule? Iondon was filled to over- flowing Saturday night with soccer fanst who took in the Football As- sociation matches.

(One theory about the Corona- tion stone theft was that Scottish nationalists hoisted it from the Abbey. The stone was originally taken frcm Scotland by il!lngland's Edward I in the 13th century.)

Could it have been the Carlisle followers to show they backed their Scottish neighbors? Carlisle is right on the border of Scotland. Its sup- porters were in a gay mood satur- day after the team pulled one of the season's biggest upsets by hold- ing London's champion Arsenal Club to a scoreless draw.

Frankly Scotland Yard didn't know. It sent its men to railway stations and all night cafes in the hope of finding someone who saw someone brandishing something like a four-foot bronze swcrd sometime Saturday night or sometime Sun- day morning.

The Lord Clyde statue shows the soldier with his sword sheathed At his foot Britannia sits on a lion. The sword wise in a metal contain- er on her skirt.

lard Clyde was born Colin Camp- bell in Glasgow i.n 1792. He was raised to the peerage in 1858 for his services as general commanding the British forces during the Ind- ian Mutiny. He also commanded a brigade during the Crimean war.

Big Eneny. Buildup In West Continues

(By Robert Eunson) TOKYO. Jan. 10- (Wednesday)

Furious Allied counterblows Tuesday drove the enemy back nearly three miles on the vital central front near the fallen transport centre of Wonju.

A field dispatch said the coun- ter-attack appeared designed to recapture Wonju. The city fell lo the Reds Monday. It controls highways leading into Southeast- ern Korea.

As the counter-attack gained momentum. the U. N. forces ran into enemy mortar fire but cas- lialtles among the attackers were

Three North Korean were bearing the weight of the counter-blows about four miles south of Wonju.

The attackers strove to stem the tide of Chinese and Korean Com- munists rolling in ever increasing waves clown the mountain roads in Central Korea.

Only patrol action was report- ed in the west on the front south of fallen Seoul for the fourth straight day. But the ominous buildup of Red Chinese power continued.

A.P correspondent. John Ran- doi-ph. with the U. N. columns falling back froth Seoul and now more than 60 miles sout-h of the 38th parallel, said the Red build- up "appeared to be planned for the strongest possible attack when the drive begins."

Red Artillery Moves South

Red artillery was moving south. Tuesday an F-80 Shooting Star jet swept down through the clouds and mist and blasted Chin-ese field pieces south of Seoul.

This was the first report of Chinese artillery south of the ice- jammed Han River. which flows past Seoul.

Fighting in the centre of the front raged near Wonju. the rail and highway centre which fell to the Reds Mon-day. Two U. N. bat- talions turned two miles south of Wonju and attacked a North Ko-

Eisenhower In Belgium

BRUSSELS. Belgium. Jan. 9 - (AP)-Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower came to this old European battle- ground today with a demand for strong troops and a. premise that. with them, Western civilization can be preserved without fighting.

Brussels was the Genersl's sec- ond maior stop on a tour that began Sunday in Paris and will ultimately take him to all the countries banded together in the Norih Atlantic nlliance against aggressive Communism.

About 4.000 French Communists demonstrated against Eisenhower in Paris after he had left his I-lolcl Astoria headquarters there. but failed in their advertised plans to the up the city with a strike. Italian Communists stepped up

Little open water was available as dragging operations started early yesterday morning. I-leavy ice had formed during the night to com- pletely cover the area of the drawn- ing. All day workmen fought with axes and crowbars to break up the surface to permit the three boats to move across the area.

In the momlng hcpe was held that the rising tide would aid in breaking the ice. but it failed to he of assistance. R. C. M. P. Constables George MacKinnon and Grant Mac- Lean headed the struggle with the aid of two score neighbors of the bereaved family.

The drowning was particularly tragic in view of the heroic efforts made by the father of the boy to save his life. The two were fishing

High Tides Cause loss To Fishermen Along N. B. Coast

CHATHAM. N. B., Jan. 9-(Ci?) -Record -high -tides which broke up the ice in Mlramlchl Bay last night played havoc with nets of smell; fishermen on the north shore of the bay.

Loss war estimated at s200.000. Heaviest losses were reported by Neguac fishermen, who lost about 800 nets. No loss of life has been reported.

The-loss came as severe blow. particularly to men who last year under similar circumstances suf- fc-red heavy damage. Some were wiped out completely. Heavy damage also occurred on Prince Edward Island's north shore, es- pecially at North Rustico.

From Ncguac wharf to Burnt Church in the boy the highest tides in years crumpled ice and carried away nets. Losses h.V Neguac fishermen were reported 52.000 heavier thanlastyearwhcn (lie damage was placed at 518.000. One fisherman. Edmund S. Brcau. was reported to have suf- fcrrd personal losses amounting to more than 53.000.

Some streets and wharvcs in Chotham and Newcastle were cov- ered by flood waters and some stores in Chatham were flooded.

Damage was confined chiefly to nets on the northern shore of the hay. On the south side the ice moved. but most of the nets had been tied by fishermen in such it way that when the ropes broke the nets dropped to the bottom of the bay. Fishermen salvaged them today.

.273 Feet Of Breakwater Damaged At Rustico

The pounding storm tide at North Rustico returned to normal yesterday after causing between 510,000 and 312.000 damage to the breakwater and flooding several homes.

The damage estimate was ob- tained last night from an official of the Federal Department of Puv - lic Works. 134 feet of the 850 foot breakwater will have to be rebuilt. as s rcbult of Sunday night's storm.-

In all about 273 .feet of the breakwater was badly bu-tiered. Approximately 140 feet of this section will be repaired as soon as possible.

Residents of the five homes evacuated are expected to return to their -houses today. Yesterday -these people spent the day drying out the first floors of their dwell- ings which were covered with water Monday afternoon.

The reibuildulngpwork on the -brealcwater will not commence un- til next summer as it would be impossible to start construction at this time of year.

The Red Cross are planning to organize a disaster committee to aid the village residents in the event of another'"damaging storm.

Final Attempt Today T 0

Delay Guayl

QUEBEC. Jan. 9 -(OP)- A final plea for postponement of the hanging. scheduled early Friday. of J. Albert Guay, convicted plot- ter of on airliner disaster. will be carried tcmorrow to Justice Min- ister Garson.

The 33-year-old jeweller's two lawyers. Gerard Levesque and Bertrand Marcotte. will ask Yyfr. Garson ,l.o, Dut..0.!L tilt. .!X9C.uiW" and order a new trial.

ll'l'"IlDl1 Turned Down

The defence took this decision today after Mr. Justice Albert sevigny ruled against a petition. presented to him yesterday. for postponement of the hanging until June 15.

The appeal to the Chief Judge of Quebec superior Court con- tended that a second murder trial arising from the airplane time- bomb case had brought new facts to light.

It held that further evidence. not yet brought out. would prob- ably cmerge from an impending third murder trial resulting from destruction of gthe Canadian Pacific Airlines plane in which 23 persons died Sept. 9. 1949.

Mr. Justice St-vigny. in his de- cision on the defence petition. rul- ed that it did not esiablishi that new light was shed on the case at the trial of Gene-roux Ruest. who was convicted Doc. 13 as an ac- complice of Guy.

The Judge also said that it was not in his powers to order a stay ofiGuav's execution on the grounds invoked by the defence.

Soon after the judgment was given. Guny's lawyers announced the appeal to the Justice -Minister.

The defence will argue that Guayls convictim was due largely to testimony by Ruest and But.-at's sister. Mrs. Arihur Pitre.

At the time neither Ruest nor Mrs. Piire had been charged with complicity. The defence will con- tend the Guay Jury might have placed different weight on the testimony of the'two important
