Ike By-Passed In Pact to Cut Off Red Trade McCarthy's Greek Ship Action Brings Up a Law Question WASHINGTON (Ji An agreement between the U.S. and Greek of a similar move announced by Sen. McCarthy been disclosed in the drive to cut off free world trade with Iron Curtain countries. An American official said the Greek government within the past 10 days had agreed to ban such shipments by Greek ships flying the Greek flag. The Greek government decree, it was understood, would not affect Greek-owned ships which sail under the colors of other countries.

Agreement Negotiated This disclosure Sunday night came in the wake of McCarthy's announcement to a news conference Saturday that his Senate investigations sub-committee staff had negotiated an agreement with the Greek owners of 242 merchant ships to break off all trade with North Korea and Communist China. McCarthy mentioned the Greek government decree then, but he said it had yet to be ratified by the Greek Parliament. And he said his action went "far beyond" it. McCarthy said that his agreement, negotiated without consultation with the Eisenhower administration, provided that the Greek ship owners would not "carry cargoes of any type from one Communist port to another in any part of the world." The Greek government's action, as reported here, was understood to apply only to ships flying the Greek flag. Officials said the McCarthy See Page 9 McCarthy Told He's Undermining Work of Agencies WASHINGTON UP) Harold E.

(R-Wis! and the Senate Investigations Subcommittee of "undermining" the work of executive agencies seeking to cut off trade between the West to Iron Curtain areas.

It was the first break in the Reds' previously unyielding demands that all prisoners be returned. Chou proposed that both sides return those prisoners who insist on going home and hand over the others to a neutral state "to insure a just solution to the question of their repatriation." Leaves State To Be Decided He did not propose a neutral state by name, presumably leaving that question to be decided at the armistice site of Panmunjom. The United Nations walked away from Panmunjom last fall after telling the Reds to accept the principle of giving prisoners their choice of returning come with an acceptable solution.

Chou said Monday night: "Both undertake to repatriate immediately after the cessation of hostilities all those prisoners of insist upon repatriation and to hand over the remaining prisoners of war to a neutral state so as to insure a just solution to the question of their repatriation." Hold to Principle However, Chou also said: "We by no means relinquish the principle of release and repatriation of war prisoners without delay after the cessation of "Nor do we acknowledge the assertion of the United Nations Command that there are among the prisoners of war individuals who Truckers Favor Gas Increase to Build Highways DES MOINES The Iowa Motor Truck Association disclosed Monday that it is in favor of increasing the state gasoline tax to providde more money for roads.

Lieut. Gov. Leo Elthon made public a letter he had received from L. E. Crowley, executive secretary of the association, making known its stand.

Large Users Elthon said that since the trucks are among the largest users of gasoline he thought the association's announcement should go a long way toward breaking the Legislative stalemate over a gas tax increase. The Iowa Farm Bureau Federation has opposed any change in the present rate of 4 cents a gallon. Crowley's letter to Elthon said: "The tracking industry fully recognizes the need for good roads to assure the continued progress of our state and its transportation services. "To help achieve better highways we are more than willing to pay our fair share of the necessary costs. "Therefore we are happy to confirm to you that the association, representing the trucking industry is heartily in favor of an increase in the motor vehicle fuel tax." House Had Balked The House has balked at any gas tax increase unless it is distributed to both primary and secondary roads on the same basis that present funds are distributed.

Crowley said the association took no stand on whether added revenue should be devoted exclusively to the primary road system as originally proposed. "That's a problem for the Legislature," he said. "The trucks use all types of roads."

South Koreans Stop Chinese; U.S. Marines Dig in on Vegas SEOUL Korean troops threw back a Chinese Red drive on Christmas Hill on the Eastern Front in a driving snowfall Monday as U.S. Marines dug in firmly on bloody Outpost Vegas in the west. Some 300 Reds jabbed 50 yards beyond Allied advance defense lines on a 350 yard front west of Christmas Hill, which is west of the Mundung Valley. South Koreans drove them back, killing or wounding 100 Chinese.

Marines Back Again Entrenched Marines on smouldering Vegas had won back the outpost at dawn Sunday after being knocked off three times in the Reds' bloody spring feeler drive on the Western Front last week. Grimy and weary, the Leather- Red drive on Vegas late Sunday and broke up a Red force massing for another attack Sunday night with a thundering curtain of artillery fire. In the air, U. S. Sabre jet pilots reported probable destruction of one Communist MIG jet and two damaged.

In a big day Sunday, Sabre pilots reported shooting down four MIGs and damaging a fifth. The Reds backed their drive in the Christmas Hill area with 1,800 rounds of artillery and mortar fire. The Chinese dented the advance line after an hour of bloody, close- quarter battle, with the South Koreans. Enemy Retreats However, the South Koreans called up reinforcements at 1 a.m. and again 15 minutes later.

Within 10 minutes after they arrived the Reds withdrew and the gap was closed. These Sabres can operate both as fighter-interceptors and as fighter-bombers, hitting ground targets close to the Manchurian bases of the Russian-built MIGs. "If and when we act as fighter- bombers our record in air-to-air combat is going to be better than the record of the fighter-interceptor wings because we'll have more opportunity to meet the MIGs," Hagerstrom said in an interview. "We won't have to hunt for them. They'll come, to us and what is better than that?" Hagerstrom, a 32-year-old professional pilot whose home is now at Tyler, became the wing's first jet ace.

He shot down the Wing's first MIG on its second combat mission over North Korea. The squadron commander said he would have gotten his fifth MIG sooner if he hadn't had to spend a lot of time training new pilots in jet combat. Have to Learn First He has been taking new jet! pilots into MIG alley because, "you have got to learn air-to-air combat first, so you can defend yourself, before you can do fighter bomber work." Hagerstrom was an ace in World War having destroyed six Japanese planes while flying P-40s in the South Pacific. Hagerstrom, a native of Waterloo, is an adopted Texan. He married Virgie Lee Jowell of Frankston, near Tyler, and the couple settled in Tyler after he was discharged in 1945.

He was recalled to duty in October, 1950, in the Air National Guard. The couple met in Orlando, in 1944 where she was in the WASPS. 74 Missions Mrs. Hagerstrom said in Tyler Sunday night that her husband had written on March 19 that he had 74 combat missions and planned to have a total of 85 by the first week in She said she expected him to return home about May '1. The veteran pilot has never seen his youngest child, 6-weeks-old Mark, born last Valentine Day.

His other children are Teresa, 18 months; Kristin, year-old girl; Eric 5 and Mitchelle, 7. Fifteen couples from Carroll at; tended the event.

Concerts Include Boys' Choir, Piano Trio, Kell Players, Vocalist The Midwest Iowa Civic Music Association wound up its 1953 campaign, Saturday night, with a membership equal to the year just concluded and four concerts guaranteed for next year, E. A.

Vaatveit, president, announced Monday. The four concerts definitely booked are the Singing Boys of Mexico, the American Piano Trio, the Reginald Kell Players, and Jeanne Fenn, vocalist. Although dates have not been set for their appearances next year-, the four concerts have been promised for sometime during the 195354 season. Held Two Options The Singing Boys of Mexico, on which an option has been held since the beginning of the campaign, are a 30-voice choir of Mexican boy singers, -scheduled for their first tour of the United States next year under the direction of Romano Pi- cutti, former director of the famed Vienna Boys Choir. Option also has been held since the opening of the campaign on the American Piano Trio under the leadership of Stephen Kovacs who formerly played here with the Four Piano Ensemble.

The trio travels with three Steinway pianos and is said to have an even more compact musical unit than the piano quartet. Under the leadership of Reginald Kell, former teacher of Benny Goodman, the Reginald Kell Players consist of Mr. Kell who is considered the "world's foremost clarinetist," a celloist, a violinist, and a pianist. Jeanne Fenn is a mezzo-soprano who, unlike most concert artists has won her reputation on the west coast, rather than in the east. She is said to be a concert artist of great personal beauty whose reviews have been highly complimentary.

Thanks Workers Mr. Vaatveit said he wished to thank all division chairmen, team workers, and headquarters committee members who have helped to make the campaign a success. The membership drive is now closed for the season 1953-54 except for new people moving to town between the closing date of the campaign and the beginning of the concert season.

Edgar Hoover has told Congress Communists have gone underground, broken up into small cells of five persons each and are running their own loyalty checks. That mades his job harder, he said, and he needs more agents.

Members of a Senate Appropriations Subcommittee, before which Hoover testified last Friday, said Monday the Eisenhower administration has approved without cuts the million dollars allotted to the FBI in the budget submitted by former President Truman. But these members, asking not to be named, predicted Hoover will get an additional five millions above that amount, largely to hire new agents and to help finance a loyalty and security investigation of American employes of the United Nations.

DES MOINES Secretary of Agriculture Clyde Spry predicted in an address at Knoxville recently that colored oleo won't be legalized by the present session of the Iowa Legislature. Spry quoted butter interests as saying they have "the situation well in hand." A senate bill to legalize colored oleo has passed both houses. But the Senate insists on sales in triangles and the House demands that for home use the butter substitute be sold in rectangles.

A conference committee of the two houses is attempting to reach a compromise. The committee is scheduled to meet Monday afternoon, for another of several meetings. There has been no major compromise so far, and committee members said it has been agreed that if Monday's session fails also, the committee will ask to be discharged. In this event, another conference committee would be named to make another try.
