It also derided Prime Minister Churchill's call for a revival of the peaceful "spirit of Locarno" to ease world tensions. But another section of Pravda's big front-page editorial praised Churchill's call for a settlement of International problems. The paper declared "Thus the call contained In Churchill's declaration for settlement of at least certain basic questions, and by this token, fori easing the acuteness of the situa-j tion in the international arena, Is i completely realistic in the current! ROSENBERG HOLD CHANCE OF CLEMENCY Consideration Will Depend On Their Willingness To Talk Washington, May 23 (JP) Justice Department sources Indicated today that Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, atomic spies, might still have a chance for clemency If they should decide "to talk." "This Is always a factor, In every such case," these sources said. It was disclosed that the couple, awaiting execution in Sing Sing Prison as spies for Soviet Russia, have been specifically told that if they know things about espionage in this country which have not been brought to light, and want to tell about them, such action will be taken into consideration in weighing their clemency pleas. This, officials said, was pointed out to the Rosebergs before President Eisenhower in early February rejected their petition for commutation of their death sentences.

The president, however, has the power to commute federal sentences at any time, whether or not Typical of the semi-tropioal island of Bermuda, where the Big Three leaders are scheduled to meet June 17, is this air view of government buildings in the capital city of Hamilton.

The Communist Party paper described the upcoming meeting ef President Eisenhower, Church-in and the premier of France as continuation of the old line which failed to justify itself." (One reported purpose of the Bermuda conference is to consider possibilities for holding a Four-1 Power conference with Russia sitting in. Churchill is expected to propose this.

Eisenhower has expressed willingness to meet the Soviets half way in an attempt to settle world differences, but said he first would like to see some evidence of Soviet good intentions.) Question Posed Commenting on Churchill's Locarno suggestion, Pravda said: "How can one carry out the idea of a Locarno in relation to contemporary Germany?" "Indeed, in speaking of the Idea Locarno, Churchill didn't recall with even one word the re-establishment of the unity of Germany, which has decisive significance not only for Germany itself but also for the cause of assuring security in Europe and in the entire world." (On May 12 Churchill proposed a conference of the world's leading powers and referred to the pact signed Tn October, 1925, at Locarno, Switzerland. In that pact, Germany, France, Italy, Belgium and Britain gave up their absolute "right to make war," and Germany agreed to arbitrate her disputes with France, Belgium, Poland and Czechoslovakia). Looks Invalid Pravda declared that "even from the point of view of the interests of the security of Britain itself, the plan of Locarno looks invalid, not to speak of the interests of assuring the security of other countries In Europe and first of all neighbors of Germany, France, Belgium, Holland, Poland, Czechoslovakia, etc." The editorial declade that "efforts to return to the Locsjno pact would broaden the prospects for changing short-lived international combinations and groupings of some countries which would lead, not to easing but to aggravation of international relations." S.F. VFW POST TO RECONSIDER AIRBASE STAND A sneeial meetine of the Sioux i DC I KILL Tim KOREAN DEATH Discharged Pittsburgh Steel Worker Under Heavy Guard Seoul, Sunday, May 24 UP) An American honorably dis charged from the Air Force nearly six months ago was un der heavy guard today In a Taegu Prison Stockade awaiting court martial on charges of murder after being arrested In a Pittsburgh, steel plant ana nown bacK to Korea. The steel worker, Robert W.

Toth, 21, is accused of slaying a south Korean civilian back In September, 1952. Considerable secrecy surrounded the first such return of a former member of the armed forces to military custody for court martial under the uniform code of military justice. Under the code, effective June 1, 1951, an ex-service man can be arrested for court martial If the offense Is punishable by Imprison ment of five years or more and he cannot be tried in civilian courts. Toth was arrested quietly while at work in the steel plan May 13 He arrived back in Korea five days later. Washington disclosed the case Friday, May 22.

Toth's mother, Mrs. Jacob Mertz, said in Pittsburgh that the military police acted with such unexpected suddenness that frantic calls bv relatives for a time failed to find him; then members of the family had to hurry out to Pittsburgh air port to pick up Toth's work clothes He already was back in uniform Whisked Away The Air Force said, however, that Toth had not been whisked away from Pittsburgh before see ing relatives. "He talked to his father and i brother before he left," a spokes man said. The spokesman also said Toth was offered the right to demand counsel in the United States but declined. Air Force sources were mum about where Toth landed in Korea and where he was held.

Consider able cnecking developed ne was held at Taegu, about half way be tween Seoul and Pusan. Officers at Taegu, contacted by telephone, said we cannot give you any Information, whatsoever, Newsmen checked for two hours before ascertaining that the man Toth is accusing of shooting was Kil Bong Soon, killed in Septem ber, 1952. The Air Force confirmed that. Kil was slain while Toth was stationed at an air base in South Korea. Bare Details Known Only the barest detail was known about the case but an Air Force spokesman said the judge advocate section was studying additional evidence and that more charges may be filed within a day or so.

The first announcement on the case, in Washington, noted that Toth was discharged "prior to dis covery of evidence relating to the alleged offenses." Col. Jerome L. Lowenberg, of Sea Cliff, Long Island, N.Y., judge advocate of the Fifth Air Force said the court martial probably would be held late in June. Mrs. Mertz said her son served for 18 months in Korea, "got a Bronze Star and an honorable dis charge" last December.

Up Nearly Hall Census Bureau Reports South Dakota Fourth With 23,344 Washington, May 23 (P) The Census Bureau said totey the In dian population of the United States grew by almost one-half between 1900 and 1950. However, the bureau said it was not very clear on what is an Indian, so its figures only approximations. The bureau' definition of an Indian depends on local conditions and how people are regarded by their neighbors. A spokesman said enumerators put a person down as an Indian if he looked like an Indian, and when in doubt the enumerator was supposed to ask. For the most part, however, persons listed as Indians were those living on Indian reservations where blood lines have been preserved fairly pure.

In a report based on the 1950 census, the bureau there were 343,410 Indians then compared with 237,195 In 1900, or an increase of nearly 45 per cent during the years. The report on Indian population in 1950 gave these details: More than half the Indians listed in 1950 lived In four southwestern states Arizona, California, New Mexico and Oklahoma. During the 50 years from 1900 the Indian population of these four state increased by 51.8 per cent comparea with a national gain of 44.8 per cent. Arizona led all states with Indian population of 65,761 In 1950. Oklahoma was second with 63,769.

New Mexico was third with South Dakota fourth with and California fifth with 19,947. Other states with Indian populations of over 10,000 were Montana, Washington, Minnesota, Wisconsin, North Dakota, and New York, 10,640. Between 1940 and 1950, the Indian population Increased by 9,441, or 2.8 per cent. Lockhart to Head State Banking Body Huron, May 23 (JP) O. H.

FOUR IN ITALY DEAD IN GALE Turin, Italy, May 23 (JP) A gale howled across Itly today, killing at least four persons, injuring scores of others and causing heavy damage in Turin, Rome and other communities. At the height of the storm, lightning lopped off more than 100 feet from the top of Turin's 548-foot tower and 60-mile-an-hour winds sent 400 tons of debris crashing to the street. Two men were trapped in the rubble, one suffering a broken hip. Two motorists were killed in Turin when a falling tree struck their car. Another motorist was killed in the nearby vil ge of Stupingi.

In the village of Moncalieri near Turin one person was killed when a wall collapsed. In Rome about 100 homes were damaged and the fire department received more than 600 distress calls. City squares were turned into lakes as rain fell in torrents. Turin residents hwd a deep roar before the tower collapsed. The structure was started in 1863 as a synagogue and completed about 30 years later.

Because of its height and the commanding view from the top, it had become a favorite tourist attraction. Turin's Miyor Ameda Peyron said the tower would be restored. Turin's market place was left a tangled mass of splintered wood, torn canvas and broken glass. The city's streets were choked with fallen trees and many houses were without roofs. Czech Offers Self As a Hostage for Release of Oatis Washington, May 23 (JPh-Less than a week before William Oatis was released from a Czechoslo-vakian prison, a former Czech army officer offered to exchange his own freedom for the release of the Associated Press correspondent.

The offer was made by "Col. Jan Bukar" to the House Un-American Activities Committee at a ciosea door session May 14. His testimony was made public today. CoL Bukar, whose true identity was kept secret, fled to this country In December, 1952, after being trained in a Russian military schooL The witness criticized negotiations (then still in progress) for Oatis' release as a demonstration of "diplomatic weakness" and offered himself as a hostage to the Kremlin. "Everyone is asleep here," he said.

"They do not recognize the danger. That is why I am willing to sacrifice my life." In a foreward to the record of Bukar's testimony, the committee noted that Oatis was released by Czechs May 16 and observed there was "nothing unusual about Wil-j liam Oatis. "In plying his trade in the normal American manner, Oatis was charged with violation of the espionage laws Of Czechoslovakia. He was found guilty and sentenced to imprisonment for 10 years; Bukar said the Czechs kept, Oatis in jail for two years in an effort to "psychologicaly liquidate" any Czech resistance to their Communist leaders. He added: "The underground of Slovakia has serious misgivings in the case of Oatis, in thinking that Democratic West does not protect its own citizen.

No Change of Heart The Rosenbergs have strenuously protested Innocence, and officials' here say they have had no word of any change of heart on their part. One of the things that concerns the government is that although an extensive roundup of atom spies has been carried out during the last few years one pick-up usual ly leading to another some guilty persons may have succeeded in es caping identification.

Hence the desire to obtain in' formation from the Rosenbergs, if they have any. According to top officials, the government holds it to be of more value to the welfare of the country to have information on what its enemies are doing than to exact the life of an offender. Press for Clemency A number of groups are pressing hard for clemency for the Rosen bergs and some of these have re cently claimed discovery of new evi dence. Justice Department sources said a week ago that all such "new evidence" reports have been care fully investigated, btu that none has been found to have any merit.
