States West of the OCTOBER 22, 1953 Repatriation Boycott Ended By Poles, Czechs NNRC Mum on Issue Of Forcing POWs To Be Interviewed PANMUNJOM (AP) The two Red satellite members of the Korean Neutral Nations Repatriation Commission ended a three-day walkout today but there was no indication they had won their point that anti-Red Koreans be forced to hear Communists efforts to wheedle them home. The explanations have been stalled since Monday when the Polish and Czech delegates left the commission after being voted down by the Indians, Swedes and Swiss. In today's meeting they apparently repeated the demand without success the explanations remained standstill. and, The Communist delegates are forcing the point by disregarding the 14,600 Chinese who apparently will listen, insisting instead on talking with the 7,800 Koreans who refused with a show of belliference. The Red reluctance to meet the Chinese may grow from the stinging propaganda beating they took in the first two days of interviews -only 19 of 921 Chinese chose the road to communism.

After unsuccessful efforts by Indian guards to get the Koreans peacefully to the interviews the Red efforts were called off in stalemate. Lt. Gen. K. S.

Thimayya, Indian chairman of the repatriation commission, said after Thursday's session that Indian troops are unable to produce the Koreans "at thie time." However, the 2-hour, 25-minute meeting was not adjourned but was recessed until Friday, leading observers to speculate that some new line of argument may have been presented. Before the meeting Thimayya said he would ask for an indefinite recess, but he declined comment on that point after the session. The days without interviews are chopping time from the tion period set by the armistice, which was Dec. 23 by Allied interpretation and Dec. 24 by the Indian view.

War Bride Does Own Street Paving (P--A German war bride, dissatisfied with the muddy street past her home, asked her neighbors in suburban Parma to sign a petition to have it paved. They refused, so Mrs. Betty Thon phoned Parma Service Director Fred Newcomb, who had 28 tons of broken asphalt paving dumped on her front lawn. Then, working with a hammer and her hands, she broke up the asphalt into three-inch pieces and imbedded them over a 115 foot stretch of the street. The job took her a week.

Among her other projects have been landscaping her new home, and digging and setting out a flower bed and vegetable garden. In addition, she does her own canning, studies ballet and goes bowling. am somewhat surprised she said today, American housewives tell me how little time they have for Schreiber Named To Succeed Reuther BERLIN (P -Dr. Walter Schreiber, leader of the conservative manority on West Berlin's City Council, was, elected mayor of this Soviet-encircled city today.

28. (AP Wirephoto). Machinery Set John Wayne For Inspecting Ohio Relief Lists COLUMBUS, Ohio (9-The state welfare director today decided to use existing facilities to provide for orderly inspection of names of persons on state public assistance rolls. The last Legislature provided anyone eligible to vote in Ohio can look at the names of aid recipients. 150,000 Involved Director John H.

Lamneck today issued an executive order, effective Nov. 1, providing the machinery for making names available. About 150,000 names throughout the state are involved. The setup provides for quarterly iling of aid vouchers with county auditors, where they are available for inspection. Persons wishing to see the names must give written reasons and their names.

Names of persons on direct relief, now numbering about 26,600, will be separate from those receiving other forms of state aid. The procedure also calls for use of county relief central clearing offices, already set up. They will receive names monthly. State officials who will need the names in their work can inspect them. But the names not be published.

Harvard Man Shares in Nobel Prize STOCKHOLM, Sweden (A) A Harvard University scientist and a German-born British professor jointly won the 1953 Nobel Prize medicine and physiology tofor day for their discovery of fundamental life mechanisms inside human cells. The honor went to Dr. Fritz Albert Lipmann, 54, professor of biochemistry at Harvard Medical School, Cambridge, and Dr. Hans Adolph Krebs, 53, professor of biochemistry at Britain's Sheffield University. They will share the 175,292 Swedish crowns ($33,840) prize money.

Dr. Lipmann gained the distinction through his discovery of coenzyme an organic substance that plays an important part in nearly every biological process. Dr. Krebs was cited for his "wheel of fortune" explanation of how food becomes energy in living tissue. The two developments are closely related.

The child was injured critical- Ily about 4 p. m. when she fell from the top rail at the west end of the Crooked. Creek bridge on Route 220 (West North street) and landed on some rocks in the dry creek bed 30 feet below. A nearby resident, Clarence Snyder, said the girl and several child companions were apparently on their way home from school when they stopped to play on the bridge.

The Boydston girl, Mr. Snyder said, climbed the railing of the bridge, lost ner balance and fell. Passersby and workmen from the nearby Columbus Southern Ohio Electric Co. plant rushed to the scene and found the girl, called the ambulance, and she was rushed to the hospital. The girl was conscious when taken to the hospital, but seemed in a dazed condition.

Hospital attendants said that she was suffering from a possible fractured skull and internal injuries. Her condition was reported "fair" Thursday morning. Bumped in Rear, Asks $122,000 HOUSTON, Tex. (-Automobile dealer H. B.

Gaylor, informed of the suit, said he'd warned Sparks about the ram. He added: "I've gotten rid of it." Demands His Day in Court LOS ANGELES (P -Only John Wayne's angry desire to have his own day in court stood today as a possible threat to a peaceful end to his divorce trial, already one of the nastiest in movie history.

A surprise property settlement brought big smiles to the face of his Mexican wife, the former Esperanza Baur. Its size was not disclosed, by court request, but apparently it was enough to make her change her mind about a separate maintenance plea. Both she and her attorney said they were "very happy" with the abrupt settlement. It came late yesterday after a series of lengthy conferences between both camps, with Superior Judge Allan Ashburn acting as peacemaker. The case will be resumed next Wednesday, allowing both parties time to iron out settlement details.

Legal observers, including one of the key figures in the conferences, expect the case to follow a familiar pattern in divorce actions of this type. That means that the 31-year-old actress will change her plea of separate maintenance to divorce and that she will get it without contest. Only Wayne is reluctant at the moment. He feels that he should be given a chance to defend himself against shocking accusations of -beating, drunkenness and infidelity.

CHICAGO (AP) The United States today announced the first full-scale attempt to tame atomic power for peace a move billed as "America's answer" to Soviet claims of mastery over dread new nuclear weapons of war. Thomas E. Murray, a member, said the Atomic Energy Commission will build an industrial power reactor producing at least 60.000 kilowatts of electrical energy enough to run a city of 50,000. He said the project cost Several Years Away, "many tens of millions of and that the AEC hopes to have an operating plant in three to four years.

The plant, Murray said, may be located "at or near" facility for separating uranium-235, the paydirt of atomic power, from natural uranium. The AEC has one such facility at Oak Ridge, and is building others at Paducah, and in Pike County, 0.

Murray's historic announcement -a little more than eight years after the United States unleashed the world's first atomic bomb at Hiroshima came in a speech prepared for the electric companies' public information program. He said the AEC decided to beat Russia to the punch by pushing ahead first with an industrial power program instead of concentrating almost exclusively on reactors for military use. Answer to Russia "This is America's significant peacetime answer--to recent Soviet atomic weapons tests," Murray said.

"It should show the world that, even in this gravest phase of arming for defense, America's eyes are still on the peaceful future." Murray said the world was stunned when Russia announced recently it had the hydrogen bomb. But he said world peace would have been more gravely endangered if Russia had announced successful operation of an industrial power plant-and had offered to ium produced other countries. swap atomic know how for uranU.

I believe that unless we embark on an out attack on our nuclear power program immediately, we may be deprived of foreign uranium ores with the result that our weapons potential will be smaller than need be the case." Countries hungry for the new source of power, no matter how repelled they are by Soviet tyranny, would gravitate toward Russia, he said. But Murray stressed that the AEC was not putting all its atomic (Please Turn to Page 2, Col. 5) A spokesman for the Republican mayoral candidate, former Acting Postmaster Harold Reigelman, claimed that the barring of Impellitteri would help Riegelman. City Council President Rudolph Halley, mayoral candidate of the Liberal and Independent parties and onetime chief counsel to the Kefauver Committee, contended the development would aid him.

There was no immediate comment-except that the ruling had been expected- the camp of Manhattan Borough President Robert F. Wagner who beat Impellitteri for the Democratic nomination by almost 2 to 1 at the Sept. 15 primary. Wagner's supporters had estimated before yesterday's ruling that Wagner would get at least 40 per cent of the Impellitteri vote if the mayor were ruled off the ballot Godfrey Comment on Show Fails to Clarify That Rift NEW YORK -Arthur Godfrey says performers on his radio-TV shows must be nice house guests and "because I love to have them in my home I love to think you like to have them in your homes too." With that comment during his television show last night, the freckle faced star apparently wound up the furore caused by disclosures that he had suddenly fired singer Julius LaRosa and sharply cut the part bandleader Archie Bleyer has on Godfrey shows. The comment was made obliquely, as he introduced a the McGuire Sisters trio.

Members jof the Godfrey troupe were picked, he said, "because of that wonderful quality you see here." Earlier yesterday at a press conference Godfrey, still on crutches from a hip operation, said LaRosa had been fired Monday while the show was on the air because the singer had lost his Bleyer's difficulties arose, said, Godfrey, because he made recordings of Don McNeill, a Godfrey air competitor, for a newly formed disc company in which the bandsman has a business interest. Concerning LaRosa, Godfrey said a purported romance between the singer and Dorothy McGuire, member of the vocal trio, had nothing to do with his release..
