I. Neiman. Dial Wants Senate Empowered To Halt Probes WASHINGTON (AP) Sen. Monroney (D-Okla) proposed today that the senate arm. itself with authority to force a quick halt to investigations undertaken by its committees.

Monroney, ready to introduce an amendment to the rules at the start of today's senate session, saic his proposal was prompted by the activities of Sen. McCarthy (R-Wis) and his senate investigations sub committee. "HIS COMMITTEE is the one causing the greatest amount of criticism to be heaped on the said Monroney, who.last week took the senate floor to assail McCarthy's avowed intention to subpoenaing officials of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). Monroney said the. projected probe of the supersecret intelligence agency was "the straw that broke the.

camel's back" and led him to draw up a proposed change in the senate's rules. Under his proposal, the senate by majority vote could halt investigations by its committees just as it can now discharge committees from further consideration of legislation. Monroney noted that discharge resolutions have a privileged status and can be brought up for a vote I the day after they are filed. He said the effect of his proposed rule would be "to put direct responsibility on the senate" for the investigations of its committees. He said he regarded this as necessary in view of the sharp criticism some of them have aroused.

THE PROPOSED amendment to the rules, before becoming- effective, would have to clear the rules committee headed by Sen.

Fighter Plane In Crash But Pilot Escapes Thousands of spectators saw an air force fighter plane plunge to the ground in a crash-landing at the Akron-Canton airport's sesqui- centenniai air show Sunday. The plane was demolished but the pilot, a 30-year-old member of the Ohio Air National Guard, sustained only a slight, scratch.

Capt. George Bleimes of Westerville was approaching a runway for a landing when his F-51 Mustang suddenly developed engine and control trouble. His speed was too great when the plane hit the runway anc Bleimes tried to take off again. But the ship faltered and hit the ground in a field just east of Greensburg. CAPT.

BLEIMES had crawled from his demolished plane by the time rescuers arrived. He was taken to Shadyside hospital in North Canton and treated for a scratch on his left wrist, his only injury. The plane was a complete loss. Bleimes had participated in formation flying along with three other Air Guardsmen. The other slanes all were from the 112th Fighter-Bomber squadron, which is stationed at Akron-Canton.

Quick action by members of the squadron of the Air Patrol prevented curious spectators from reaching tffe crash site. The patrol, billed for a simu- ated message drop and pickup following the formation flights by he F-51's, rushed through its demonstration and then went to crash scene to rope off the area and serve as guards.

Marines last night and the first' Leathernck survivors staggered back to Allied lines today. In their last act before their radio went dead, the trapped Marines back in the battlelines only three weeks called in their own artillery on top of them in a desperate effort to halt the violent onslaught. The number of Marines in. the battle was not immediately released. FOURTEEN LEATHERNECKS of the First Marine division, were the first known survivors of the bloody battles for Outposts East Berlin and Berlin, part of a key hill area on the western front.

Fatigued and wan, they staggered back into Marine lines. Eight were from Outpost Berlin and six from East Berlin. How they got out was not learn ed immediately. It was assumed they worker their way down the bloodied slope after the Reds left the hill during daylight. They said more Marines maj still be alive in the battered bunk ers and shell-ripped trenches on the outposts.

The survivors described the hills as a battle-torn no man's land They said no Chinese were left atop the outposts, which were plastered by savage Red and Allied artillery fire during the Red assault. Major Terms Of Truce -TRUCE- eam Hold To Be Halted Within 12 Hours Nine Secret Conferences PANMUNJOM, (AP) Here are major terms of the Korean truce draft, expected to be signed soon now that the Reds have given the go-ahead to proceed with final details: Fighting stops 12 hours after the truce signing; troops withdraw from buffer zone about 2 3 miles wide across Korea; troops and arms frozen at truce level but rotation of 35,000 men monthly permitted; Allies withdraw within five days from North Korean coastal islands. Military Armistice Commission of five senior officers from each side supervises armistice terms; Neutral Nation Supervisory Commission (Sweden, Switzerland, Poland, Czechoslovakia) observes truce terms. Prisoners of war who want to go home exchanged at Panmunjom within two months; balky POWs turned over to five-nation Repatriation Commission (India, Sweden, Switzerland, Czechoslovakia, Poland); India supplies guards for POWs; Red agents (seven per 1,000 POWs) make "explanations" during 90-day presence of encourage repatriation; POWs who change minds repatriated on commission majority vote. Recommendations made for a political conference to begin within 90 days after an armistice to discuss peaceful settlement of entire Korean question; problems of POWs persisting in refusal to go home handed to conference for 30 days; after the 30 days, those still refusing repatriation released to civilian status in South Korea with right to go to neutral nations of their choice.

The Communists reserved the right yesterday to place before 'the political conference the problem of 27,000 anti-Red North Korean POWs released in South Korea on orders of President Syngman Rhee. They have disappeared into the South Korean population. ALLIED FIGHTER BOMBERS and Marine guns pounded the hills relentlessly, but there was no im mediate move to retake them. The Fifth Air Force said its planes taking advantage of hot clear weather slammed 500.00C pounds of bombs at Communist frontlines from the Berlin outposts to the Kumsong front in the east. Sabre jets in their dual role as fighter-bombers, Australian mete or jets, and Marine planes pum meled other Red targets deep in North Korea.

Meanwhile, the Eighth army said (See 8) Mercury May Hit 90-Plus Continued hot is the dismal out look for Massillon and vicinity to night and Tuesday. Temperatures are expected to reach the mid-90's.

GUTH, a clerk at the cafe received emergency treatment in the Massillqn city hospital for scalp and facial injuries and lacerations of the right arm. Patrolmen Fred Kirkbride and Leo Hohneck said Mrs. Guth told them she was attacked shortly after midnight Saturday when she walked downstairs to check a restroom.

The attacker apparently was lurking in the hasement, police said.

(AP) West Berlin expanded its food relief for hungry East Berliners today. Moscow's refusal to ad mit 15 million dollars worth oi American aid into restive Eas' Germany, West Berliners found several ways to slip food past the Iron Curtain to their neighbors under Soviet rule. THOUSANDS OF FOOD packages were handed out in two districts along the Iron Curtain.

Coupons redeemable in grocery stores were issued in others. All the East Berliners had to do was come across the sector border and pick up the gifts. Donations from private citizens and public relief funds financed these stopgap plans to bolster East Berlin's courage until a large scale government relief program can get under way early next week. Communist officials embarrassed by the eagerness with which their people accepted charity from "Western capitalists" rushed in new food supplies to replenish the empty shelves of state-owned stores. But they also kept an estimated 200 Russian tanks on hand in East Berlin's outskirts ready to move into action again if the still serious food shortage stirs the workers to a new revolt like that of June 17.

A concentration camp for soldiers of the East German Peoples' army who refused to fight strikers in the June 17 revolt has been set up near Pasewalk, the West Berlin newspaper, Der Abend reported. It said more than 500 officers and men are interned there behind barbed wire.

Monday.) THE REDS, meanwhile, put the' finishing touches on a large hut to be used for signing the historic document which would end the three years of fighting. There was no official indication just when the armistice would be signed, but some observers said it could be within a week. Fighting would end 12 hours after the signing. A month-long deadlock in the negotiations was broken with a Communist announcement Sunday that the Reds were ready to prepare for the signing. Three U.

S. members of the military armistice commission flew here unexpectedly for the first time and met for one hour, 50 minutes with Communist members ol (he commission. The commission, composed of top officers from the opposing armies, would control the buffer zone between the two forces.
