WEDNESDAY EVENING.

Nam 11 linked it to a statement by President Truman Involving U. S. military aid to Formosa, Indochina and the Philippines. Significantly, the Communist proposal referred for the first time to "the People's Republic of China" as belligerent in Korea. Heretofore the Reds have Insisted Chinese fighting in Korea were volunteers.

The Reds' throe-point plan was their outline of principles for recommendations to the governments of countries fighting in Korea. That would be the final clause of an armistice. Two oilier clauses still are unsettled. Other developments: 1. A subcommittee working on exchange of prisoners agreed to Inspection of POW camps by joint.

Red Cross teams of belligerent nations and turned their discussions over to staff officers. Voluntary repatriation is the main un settled question. 2. Staff officers debating means of supervising the truce met for only 10 minutes. The key dispute on this the Reds may rebuild not.

Messick, Beatrice. Butler, Crosby Cast In Roles Of Favorites GOP Convention Gives Nod Over Other Candidates OMAHA MV-Sen, Hugh Sutler, a time-tested Campaigner, and Robert Crosby, once something of a political "boy wonder," were cast in the favorite's roles Wednesday as the result, of the first majot political showdown of this election year of 1952. The 73-year-old Butler and his 48-year-old opponent, Gov. Val Peterson, both won endorsements foi the six-year U. S.

senatorial nomination at Nebraska's Republican Pru-Primary Convention hern Tuesday, But, the edge went to Butler in balloting, 242 to 1.77. Crosby, 40-year-old North Platte attorney, shared a gubernatorial endorsement with Mayor Victor E. Anderson of Lincoln but ran up a comfortable 281 to 173 margin in the balloting. Dr. A.

B. Walker ol Lincoln received two votes and John Connor of Elgin only one in the four-way contest. Candidates had to receive votes from 35 per cent of the balloting delegates for endorsement, but delegates could vote tor more than ono candidate for office. Endorsed candidates will be so designated on the April 1 primary ballot. AS MOST EXPECTED The balloting went just about as most observers had expected.

Sen. Butler has a reputation for keeping his political fences well mended and Crosby has been winning elections since he was 29. He was, at 31, the youngest speaker of the Legislature Nebraska ever has had. One of the convention's few real hassles developed in the Second District Congressional Convention when the name of Rep. Howard Buffett, the present office holder was placed in nomination.

Buffett had said repeatedly he does-not seek re-election but Ross Sholwell of Omaha insisted Buffett would accept a "draft." Buffett ran second to Roman L. Hruska of Omaha in the balloting although both were endorsed. George J. Thomas of Omaha was an also ran. In other Congressional districts, Rep.

Carl T. Curtis, Rep. Robert D. Harrison and Rep. A.

L. Miller were unopposed and were endorsed by acclamation. SOME EXCEPTIONS Where incumbents were involved, they generally got the nod. But there were a couple of exceptions. For lieutenant governor, the 74- year-old incumbent Charles J.

Warner Waverly, ran second to Ed Hoyt of: McCook, four-term legislator, although both received endorsements. Hoyt drew 245 votes, Warner 171. A close race between Max G. Towle of Lincoln and incumbent Clarence Beck for endorsement to attorney general went to Towle, 135 to 188, Both were endorsed. Former Gov, Dwight Griswpld, the only Republican to have filed for the two-year senatorial term created by the death of Sen.

Wherry (R-Ncb), drew a last-minute opponent, KOT ENDORSED A. A. Misegadis of Talmage, nominated himself but fell far short of enough votes for endorsement. Griswold polled 368 votqs'to 39 for Misegadis. Misegadis described himself as twice as conservative as Sen, Wherry "and acknowledged that not even his family knew he planned to file.
