Acheson Says It Would Not Defeat Our Main Purpose WASHINGTON Secretary of State Acheson hinted strongly Saturday the United States is willing to halt the fighing in Korea at Parallel 38 If here can be assurances of no furl her Red aggression.

He told senators this government might, agree to a "real settlement that would accomplish thr military purposes in Korea." Then he explained further: "That is. If the aggression would end and you hnd reliable assurances that it would not be resumed, then you could return to a peacetime status and we would hope gradually to remove Ihe troops from Korea, both Chinese troops and United Nations troops." Along 38th The XJ.N. forces now are along the 38lh parallel and Lt. Qfrn. James A.

Van Fleet says the "pursuit phase" of the operation is ended, Acheson told the senate armed forces and foreign relations the ouster of Grn. Douglas MacArthur that once the Chinese are convinced they can't defeat the U.N. forces then "you have a real possibility of working out a stable situation." Senator Smith (r-NJ) said "if we stop where we began" it tho 38th parallel then he believed it would be difficult to jtfstify the Korean war casualties. Acheson replied: "Senator, if' you accomplish what you started out to do. I don't think that is synonymous with saying you stopped where you began.

"We started out to do two things. Onr- is repel the armed attack and Ihe- oilier is to restore peace and security in the area. "Now. if we do those two things, we have done uhat we started out to do, and 1 think that, is success." He-agreed with MacA-rthur that the war may end in a stalemate but he argued a standoff would open the way to peace and not to a third world war as Ihe generalj contends. Next Step Acheson said a cease fire would mean technical moves to halt the shooting.

And then, he said, the next, step would he to negotiate a'- set I lenient "which would lead to real stabilization of the problem and the removal of the troops on both sides." Questioned Senator Johnson td-Texi, Acheson said he did not. think any of the United Nations would pull troops out of Korea if MacArthur's plan to extend the war against China were adopted. "Do you believe they would?" Johnson asked. "I do not think that anybody would pull out and quit." Acheson said. And he denied that any of the nations had threatened to withdraw from Korea over the MacArthur proposals.

But. he steadfastly opposed the general's war program which he said held the threat of another war while the administration policy of a limited war is designed to avoid another world struggle.

Naumann, Be- Eagles Meet Here Today Bad Roads Likely To Hinder Crowd On Opening Day John G. Smith, Beatrice, state president of the Fraternal Order of the Eagles, was "weather unhappy" Saturday afternoon. Beatrice is scheduled to hr host to the annual state convention of the F.O.E., today, Monday and Tuesday. John wasn't: too sure Saturday how many would be able to attend tho affair. Many of the roads leading to Beatrice were too busy with his'' water to take care of cars, flow- would the convent ion-goors gel here? That question confronted him.

Relief, however, was in sight Saturday night with reports that Highway 77 was passable, via a detour route, so it appeared that the convention would have a crowd. Most today will be taken un with registration. Smith said he atrice. Bachelor of Science in chemical engineering: Norman L. Case, Beatrice.

Fire Trucks Now In Glenover, South Side The impending flood danger and the detour caused by construction of the Glh stret bridge have the Beatrice fire depart ment to enlarge. Moved to the south side Saturday was the state truck which was borrowed from Milford. This is in the garage of Ted Muenster, 301 Sharpless. In Glenover a truck loaded with hose has been stationed at the home of Bob Kinaman, 1401 Union Ave.

Kinaman, who is a volunteer fireman, will man the truck. Iran Refuses British Talks Premier Turns Down Plea Made By U. S. President TIOHRAN, Iran, Premier Mohammed Mossadegh refused Saturday, despite a personal plea from President Truman, to enter any negotiations with a British government mission unless Iran's oil nationalization law is clearly recognized beforehand. The feverish primier left a sickbed and read lo a secret session of the senate the letter from President Truman, who expressed personal anxiety over "the serious consequences of the present explosive situation" in Iran's oil controversy.

The letter was delivered by S. Ambassador Henry Grady Friday. In his comments, Mossadegh said Britain has not informed Iran of willingness to acpept oil nationalization in principle. The British ambassador, he said, had only remarked that Britiain would "probably agree lo a form of nationalization." Hussein Naki, Mossadegh's right hand man, told reporters Iran had "burned all bridges" on the issue of nationalization. "We have reached, a stage that either we will reacrfour goal and be prosperous or we will be best royed and ail the world with us," he declared.

i I'UKSONS RttSCl Own persons escaped death by drowning north of here Saturday when the car of Frank Rohla, Wilber, was swept off Highway 82 by high water.

Blue Crest Down On Crete Dealt Drenching Flood Blow 50 Ashland Homes Under, Some Water To Caves Nature shut down Its rain spigot in southeast Nebraska Saturday night and brought a measure of stability to a flood situation which at some points had become the Worst: record. The flood threat finger con- tined to point at such points as Beatrice and Crete on the Big Blue, as well as' Endicott and other lower Nebraska points on the Little Blue. But at Lincoln and elsewhere in the Salt Creek basin, the worst appeared to be over.

And the Big Nemaha- river river in the Auburn area showed signs of settling down, with still not a flood death reported in the state. David City Statisticians in Omaha noted that the 21.14 inches of rain in David City in the first, five months of this year represents a figure larger than the full year's total in 12 of the past 80 years, Clouds still banked the state Saturday night but they were holding back their moisture. A cloudy but dry Sunday was in prospect, to be followed by a dry and sunny Monday. Just to accent the frivolity of climate in the Cornhusker state, temperatures dipped to 30 degi'ees at Sidney Saturday, and snow showers were reported at. Valentine as late as 3 o'clock Saturday afternoon.

But the floods hogged the spotlight. Regional Red Cross headquarters notified Gov. Val Peterson that $25,000 had been allocated to Nebraska for emergency flood relief. In Lincoln some 500 persons rejected in two didn't como up to last yearVrlood but conditions were worse in Lancaster county outside the city. Ashland The city-by-city situation as of late Saturday was as follows: homes were in water, some of them up to the eves.

Editor 11. C. Howe of the Ashland Gazette said the flood was easily the worst since 1908 and water had reached spots he hadn't thought possible. A garage at one residence was carried away as was a two room house. In one nice home a floating log went through a front window.

Firemen and volunteers evacuated many persons during the night and at 5 a. m. the fire whistle blew another warning. The open highway out of towiT at. mid-afternoon was highway 66 leading to Ceresco.

last minute report from here told that the entire north part of the town was under water which had risen to the railroad tracks. The business district was being sandbagged as the water slowly moved toward main street. The Red Cross was giving food and shelter to over 200 families. P. K.
