While Christmas Dawns Allied Negotiators Continue to Press for Cease-Fire in Korea. SLEET AS DEADLINE NEARS Newsmen's Gifts to Roadside Waifs at Least a Token Recognition of Holiday. TALKS AGAIN DEADLOCK Although Prospects Seem Bleak, There Are Hopes for Agreement.

By Robert -B. Tuckman. Munsan, Dec. 25 (Tuesday). (AP) A driving sleet storm drummed against the conference tents in the tiny Korean wayside village of Pan munjom today as Allied delegates arrived with their Christmas day bid for peace.

U. N. command delegates on their way to Panmunjom passed small groups of shivering children standing alongside the winding road from Munsan. Probably the Korean waifs did not know it was Christmas, but Allied correspondents showered candy and warm clothes down upon them as the newsmens bus rolled by. Tossed From Windows.

On the perimeter of the neutral zone, three bedraggled little girls watched the convoy approach, A broadside of gifts was fired from the bus and the girls scrambled in the sleet-covered mud for woolen sweaters, hard candy and chocolate bars. Santa Claus had paid one more unscheduled visit. At the conference tent town. Allied military police clad in heavy slickers, -took up their positions. The Chinese sentries stood immovable in padded clothing and heavy caps.

The balloons marking the boundaries of the neutral zone wTere hauled down to prevent their destruction by sleet. One broke loose In the wind and fell northward toward the Communist headquarters city of Kaesong. The Communist delegates arrived, sitting frozen-faced in their cars and buttoned up to the neck in heavy gray This was Christmas day In a remote village dedicated to the search for peace in Korea, a search full of misery and disappointment. The Allied delegates were de termined to try again for an immediate release of sick and wounded prisoners of war. The Reds already had turned down an earlier plea.

There were few signs that the Communists were bringing any presents in the form of truce concessions to the many nations opposing them in their desire to bring all Korea under Red control. The war entered its nineteenth month on this Christmas day. 'Not Their Aim. The Communist delegates said they had no intention -of building up their air power in Korea in a truce. Maj.

Gen. Howard M. Turner asked them to put this in writ ing. Chinese Maj. Fang replied that authority to do so.

The subcommittee on truce supervision wound up its talks until tomorrow. The subcommittee on prisoner exchange, meeting in another tent, recessed until 1:30 p. Tuesday. Prospects appeared bleak.

Nevertheless hope arose simply from the fact that negotiators had narrowed differences on how to enforce a truce and were, at the some time, talking of prisoner exchange. TO DIVORCE JACK FRYE. They Didnt Have Enough In Common, Nevada Smith Says. (Servic of tht Neio York Se tea. New York Dec.

24. Nevada Smith, red-haired former showgirl, disclosed today that she is planning to divorce her husband, Jack Frye, president of the 136-million-dollar General Aniline corporation. "Im tired of being married to an industrialist. the beauty complained. We didnt have enough in common.

For quite a while after their marriage they didnt even have a home in common, she said. Six months after their wedding in Hollywood, in July, 1950, they were separately domiciled because they couldnt find an apartment big enough to house them, their dog and five cats. For Nevada, 30, it was her fifth marriage. Frye, 47, had been married five times previously. Frye confirmed the break and said he had his bags all packed for a Christmas eve departure.

A Christmas card addressed to Mrs. Yewell stood on one edge on the top of a refrigerator in the second floor hall near a hole made in a door casing by a bullet fired by her son. Detectives said Yewell used a Smith Wesson snubnosed revolver. The weapon was taken to police headquarters, where a check was being made to determine whether it might be the one used to kill Patrolman Harrison.

The special quality of New England stamps every inch of Barre, but apart from that it is different in no way from any of the thousands of small towns in every corner and crossroads of America. It is built around the common.

On one side is the bank, the hotel put up in 1890, the variety store, Judge Smiths home and real estate office, and the Barre Gazette, which has been publish ing for 117 years. On the other side, the town hall looks down on the postoffice, a garage, and a row of little stores stocked with everything a mn, if not a woman, might want.

MESSAGE TO NATION Presidents Christmas Greetings Are Broadcast During Tree-Lighting Ceremony. tPICTtBE ON PAGE 10.1 In his Christmas message, President Truman told the nation late yesterday that a new spirit of hope had arisen in the world and that a true and lasting peace may come from the sacrifice of free men arming and fighting together.

The message, transcribed pre-viously in Washington, was broadcast over a national radio hookup at 4:45 oclock in connection with a ceremony in which the President, in his home in Independence, pressed a gold-plated telegraph key which lighted a Christmas tree on the south lawn of the White House. The Presidents talk was car ried here by WDAF and WHB The text of the message: Christmas is the great home festival. It is the day in all the year which turns our thoughts toward home. And so 1 am spending Christ- mas in my old home in Inde pendence with my family and friends. As the Christmas tree is lighted on the White House are on this Christmas eve by the suffering and the sacrifice of our brave men and women in Korea.

VVe miss our boys and girls who are out there. They are protecting us, and all free men, from aggression. They are trying to prevent another world war. We' honor them for the great job they are doing. We pray to the Prince of Peace for their success and safety.

As we think about Korea, we should also think of another Christmas, ten- years ago, in 1941. That was just after Pearl Harbor, and the whole world was at war. Then almost every country, almost every home was overshadowed by fear and sorrow. The world is still in danger tonight, but a great change has come about. A new spirit has been born, and has grown up in the world, although perhaps we do not fully realize it.

The struggle we are making today has a new and hopeful meaning. "Ten years ago total war was no longer a threat but a tragic reality. In those grim days, our nation was straining all its efforts in a war of survival. It was not peace not the prevention of war but the stark reality of total war itself that filled our minds and overwhelmed our hearts and souls at Christmas, 1941. Goal Now Is Different.

Tonight we have a different goal, and a higher hope. Despite difficulties, the free nations of the world have drawn together solidly for a great purpose: Not solely to defend themselves; not merely to win a bloody war if it should come; but for the purpose of creating a real peace a peace that shall be a positive reality and not an empty hope; a just and lasting peace. When we look toward the battlefields of Korea, we see a conflict like no other in history. There the forces of the United Nations are fighting not for territory, not for plunder, not to rule the lives of captive people. In Korea the free nations are proving, by deeds, that man is free and must remain free, that aggression must end, nations must obey the law, We still have a long struggle ahead of us before we can reach our goal of peace.

Despite Losses in the Flood, the Residents Keep tp Hope, and Tree and Gifts Are There for Children. HK TI RK ON TAGK 3.1 It doesnt take a very big evergreen tree to fill a flood victims home in Trailer City with Christmas atmosphere. And it doesn't take many toys and other presents to fill a trailer, cither.

The residents of Trailer City, just south of Kansas City, Kansas, are in a position to make the most of any little Christmas blessing which may come their way today. Last night, like others throughout the world, they were busy making preparations for Christmas. Their preparations are simple and modest a wreath in the little steel door, perhaps a small tree, a little extra on the dinner menu, a few presents. For even that, many of the families have needed help. Hundreds of would-be Santas were hoping that none In need had been overlooked.

Truck loads of Christmas baskets and toys were distributed among the 2,000 trailer residents in the last few days by various organizations. But whether there were any visible preparations for Christ mas or not, the boys and girls, fully half those in the new little city, were hopeful that Santa Claus had heard about the flood so he could find their new homes. One lad pointed to an air venl in the ceiling of the crowded trailer in which he lives and explained that St. Nick would somehow manage to squirm through that. The hundreds of trailers, arranged in rows up and down the rolling terrain of the old golf course upon which Trailer City was built following the flood, all look much alike.

But there are several colors, and the trailers are numbered to make it easier for visitors to find their way around. Santa Claus will be able to see the numbers in the dark, the children have been assured. He may not bring much, but the residents of Trailer City have a place to live. They are thankful for that. Some havenl much else, 'but the future always looks a little brighter at Christmas time.

SNOW WITH HIGH NEAR 25. Storm Is Expected to Pass South of Kansas City. Christmas churchgoers this morning may find a light, occasional snow falling, a change from the freezing drizzle of last night caused by the passage of a storm front. The storm itself was expected to pass south of here, sparing Kansas City another heavy, dose of ice and snow. States northeast of here will catch the worst of the storm, Burton Handy, forecaster, said.

Such an act would technically convert steel workers into government employees who then would be forbidden to strike.

1 Informed in Pittsburgh of the Presidents statement, a spokesman for Murray said last night the head of the steelworkers had absolutely no comment. Wage Increase Asked. The steelworkers are asking a wage increase of 18 cents an hour and other benefits. The President referred the dispute to the Wage Stabilization board Saturday night, asking both management and workers--to Keep the mills operating in the public interest. Except for commen'iS concerning the threat hanging over steel production, the press conference was concerned with questions about Mr.

Trumans holiday plans. Reporters and photographers crowded into the small music room of the. Independence home. There was an air of easjfcinformality about the occasion. The President, smiling affable, sat behind a small desk on which was mounted the gold-plated telegraph key he was to press within a few rhinutes and form a connection to light the Christmas tree on the south lawn of the White House in Washington.

An inscription on the telegraph apparatus stated it was presented to the President by West- ern Union in 1945. i Desk Long in Family. The plainly-furnished music room, at the northwest comer of the first floor of the home, contained also a small upright piano. Mr. Truman made a few comments about the room and its furnishings, and explained that the desk had been in the family many years.

He said he believed it was of walnut, but that it could be something else. Across a large hallway, in the southwest corner of the home; stood a brightly-lighted 8-foot Christmas tree arranged in suck a manner that it could be seen through the windows from the street. The President said he plans to leave at 10 oclock Friday morning for Washington and that he had a conference related to the preparation of budget figures scheduled for 4 oclock that afternoon. Mr. Truman said that gifts would be exchanged after breakfast this morning, probably between 9 and 10; oclock, and that there would be a family Christmas dinner about 1 oclock Later in the afternoon, he said he would work on his budget and state-of-the-Unlon messages which are to be delivered when Congress reconvenes next month.

quiet, Breece and Rice went down the stairs and Hatfield entered by the front door. Yewell was dead then. Breece said a bullet wound above the heart apparently was the one that killed him. There were wounds in the left thigh and in the left leg just below the knee. Yewell fired five shots.

One of the shots went through a transom directly above the detectives, one ripped through the right side of the door casing, one struck the riser of a step at the feet of the detectives, one struck a telephone bell below them and the fifth went through the wood frame of the transom in a downstairs apartment. The detectives said they did not know how many shots the three of them fired, but that all town hall, past the church, and down the years. Christmas coming on again, he said. Pretty sight, but it took me quite a while to see it. On a winter afternoon, the sky is blue-black by 4 oclock, and the lights from the variety store, spread a square of silver, as shiny as tinfoil, over the snow on the common.

The little white houses begin to fade against the white slopes behind them, but you can still see their shutters, which are blue or green or sometimes cherry red. An automobile, clinking its chains, hurries up the hill past the high school. Somewhere in the distance, a churchbell tolls the hour, and then the silence, a white, cottony silence, folds itself around the town again. The lights go on in the Christmas tree, glowing bright and warm beside the bandstand in the center of the square. remember the first Christ mas I ever spent here, the A Merry Chrlatmas to everyone from I Jenkins Music 1217 Walnut.
