cries and live artillery ahells and others with sedate gap-den parties Focal point of the celebration was the hallowed old red brick building in Philadelphia Independence Hall where America's Declaration of Independence was adopted 177 years ago President Eisenhower called that declaration of those great expressions of the love of freedom which has found lasting response in the hearts of all peoples everywhere" In a message to the people of Denmark who have been observing the American holiday since 1912 Eisenhower said the Danish celebration is "a reaffirmation of the spiritual bonds uniting free peoples today in their common cause and their universal a Just and enduring In another message read at the Philadelphia ceremonies Eisenhower saluted the children of America and said:

Rhee said today he does not know whether his continuing talks with President Eisenhower's special envoy will be successful It was the aged South Korean leader's first direct comment on the efforts by Assistant Secretary of State Walter Robertson to persuade Rhee to accept a truce with the Communists on present terms Rhee emerging from the Sunday srrvicp at the Chungdon Methodist Church in downtown Seoul told A Correspondent Bill Shinn: am trying to clear up misunderstandings" Asked specifically if he felt the conference with Robertson can succeed Rhee replied: "I don't know" Rhee and Robertson were scheduled to meet again their ninth secret hut no time has been announced An American official said a meeting today or tomorrow was certain however Reports circulated that the is ready to offer the Republic of Korea a compromise to gain Rhee's support for an armistice in the cosily three-year-old Korean war A reliable source said under a two-point compromise the would agree to join South

President" Nixon said "we have regained the initiative for the cause of He added: "We have the men we have the resources and most we are on the right the side for freedom of justice and peace against the forces of slavery oppression and war" Eisenhower himself like many of his fellow Americans spent the day relaxing He was secluded in the presidential mountain retreat in Maryland with a group of friends Generally fair weather over most of the country brought out the traditional swarms of picnickers sightseers and sports enthusiasts It was a day for gathering around the bandstands on village squares and for watching fireworks displays in the great city parks On the other side of the world in strife -torn Korea American GIs led off the celebration with grim earnestness Because of time zone differences the Fourth reached them first and they let go with thunderous barrages of artillery mortar and tank fire across the 155-mile Korean front Rain and heavy clouds grounded most warplanes

reorganization of the government today and parliament wildly acclaimed his successor Imre Nagy who promised to liquidate a sweeping series of "mistakes" Nagy a veteran 57 -year -old Communist criticized policies of the past government with unprecedented frankness and launched Hungary's own version of a "new trend" such as the East German regime has begun in the wake of worker disturbances He declared imprisoned people who do not endanger the state must be freed farmers restored to their land fines remitted for failing to fulfill crop quotas industrialization slowed down prices cut wages raised and private enterprise encouraged He said the government which has imprisoned Roman Catholic Prelate Josef Cardinal Mindszenty for nearly four years on charges of treason must "be patient in respect to religion" Rakosi premier since last August and as vice-premier the real power in Hungary since 1945 applauded policy declaration and smilingly took a seat on the rostrum behind the new premier (Western diplomats in Vienna said they believed the shelving of Rakosi was part of a Kremlin policy of wiping nut the dictator traditions of Stalin and substituting a form of government by committee Rakosi Nagy and Emoe Geroe apparently form a new triumvirate they said similar to the Malenkov -Boria- Molotov trio in Moscow with Rakosi playing more of a behind-the-scenes part a role at which he is adept) Nagy a Protestant whose son-in-law is a Calvinist pastor had a minor role in the short-lived Communist regime of Bela Kun in 1919 When that regime was overthrown he went into exile
