U. N. Delegates Reject New. Red Poliiicallioves

By Robert Eunson

U. N. ADVANCE HEADQUART- ERS, Korea, July 30 - (Monday) - (AP) - Communist attempts to inject fresh issues "with polit- ical overtones" were firmly ra- jected by" Allied cease-fire ne- gotiators Sunday in the third day of deadlock over where to fix a buffer zone in Korea.

The 14th meeting is scheduled for 11 A.M., today (ti P.M. EDT Sunday) at Kaesong with the hot issue oi a buffer zone still upper- most.

"Little tangible program” was made at the 13th session Sunday. a

United Nations communique an- nounced. "it was just another one of

those days." said an official U.N. spokesman. Brig.-Gen. William Nuckol.s. He said a wide diverg- ence of opinion continued. de- spite a. two hour 56-minute ses- sion. llestates Red View

Radio Peiping today restated the Communist insistence that the 38th parallel be fixed as the de- marcation line with troops to be withdrawn 6 1-4 miles on either side. .

The Red broadcast quoted Gen. Nam Ii. senior Communist del- ega-te. as saying this "conforms in military realities . . . and con- stitutes the basis for the present armistice negotiations."

It. said Nam accused the U. N. delegation of attempting to gain a "one-sided advantageous mil- iiary position by boasting of the effegfiyeness of indiscriminate nava 5nd air bombai'diment."

Nam called it "not a. proper at- titude to be adopted at the arm- istice negotiations."

According to authoritative in- formation. the U. N. delegation has refused to accede to this Red demand. on the ground

that withdrawal from the pre-'

sent front.-generally well north of 38-would be a political mat- ter.

Wlllhdrawal of Allied forces in a line along the 38th parallel is considered a matter for later discussion and has no bearing on an armistice, a well-informed source said.

The present front ranges 20 l0 35 miles north of the parallel 1" the centre and east. down to I few miles south in the west..

The regular U. N. communique said that both sides held firm to their respective and Pl9Vl0"5lY' slated views at the Sunday 99” sion. . I

British Unions Demand

Price Control Action

LONDON. July 30--tMnndgy)L Reuters)-Britain's Labor Gov- ernment recelved clear warning today that its vast trade union following expects drastic action to hold the price line.

Unions representing 2.500.000 workers came out solidly with a sharp demand that more should be done to bring down spiralling

prices.

In a aoriea of resolutions tab- led for the Trades Union Con- gress annual meeting in Septem- ber. they charged that big busi- ness profits were going up while

worksn' pockets emptied.

Prime Minister Atiieo's Gov- qrnment has already moved to placate the unions.

The Government last week pegged company divlddnds so that they can rise no higher than the peak yields recorded in the last. two years.

The unions also were promised a return of some price controls to cut living costs.

But union chiefs still are not convinced that there in equality of sacrifice to help pay for the arms drive. They want proof that the "real" value of wages will not fall furtheo g

Trip1eMurderAnd Suicide Shocks Ontario Settlement

NEW HAMBURG, Ont.. July 29 - (CF) - A 39-year-old farmer fatally shot his '1ife and two children through the head Sat- urday and ended his own life with the same .22 calibre rifle.

A breadman making his usual rounds found the bodies of Wil- bert Golton, his wife, Ciara, 35, and Cecil, '7. and Dolores, 5, when he called at the big stone farm- house to make a delivery.

New Hamburg is about 15 miles west of Kitchener.

Police said the shootings cli- maxed long-standing domestic difficulties.

The bodies were found about 3:30 P.M. yesterday by Lloyd Hart when he walked into the home after knocking at the door for several minutes.

Mrs. Gofton was sprawled on the kitchen floor. Gofton and the two children were found in a bedroom-the children in bed with a. teddy bear between them.

Two members of the family es-

caped death. When Hart stumbled across the

bodies he found ll-months-old Elllla Gofton crying in her crib. The crib was a few feet from

Goflon's body.

Another child, Carl, 2, had been taken to a nearby farm six days ago for a visit with friends.

Police said the shootings oc- curred about 7:30 Saturday morn- ing and pieced together this story:

Gofton became enraged when his wife decided to leave the house with one of the children.

He shot her as she walked through the door and apparently dragged her body back into the kitchen.

Then he went into the bedroom. shot the children as they slept, and committed suicide. The rifle was found beside his body.

Mrs. Gofton's parents. Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Kavelman, and a sister, Edna. also lived in the house but left. Friday on a trip to Niagara Falls, N. Y.
