VOLUME 1 AGREEMENT ON CEASE -FIRE PROGRAM IS CLOSER p - House Approval Sought On Beef . Price Rollback WASHINGTON—OF)— Ad ministration forces, count ing on some Northern Re publican help, fought to get House approval today of at least the existing beef price rollback. But there oeemed UtUe hope the administration could prevent a ban on future price rollbacks on beef | such as planned by Price Stabilizer Michael V. DiSalle. WILL GO ALONG Some Republicans appeared ready to go along on letting last month’s 10 per cent cattle rollback stand But that was all. Rep. J. Percy Priest, Tenn., House Democratic whip, said he thought previous rollbacks would be retained and some authority re stored for rolling back prices of non-farm products. k A Republican leader said prl r vately, however, that the House “in its present, mood isn't going to per mit any further rollbacks." Further rollbacks now are ban ned under the stopgap law extend ing controls through July 31. Senate-passed legislation to extend controls through next February would practically forbid further price cuts, but would not affect past rollbacks. An amendment by Rep. Harold I b Cooley D-NC would outlaw rollbacks-past and future-there by killing last month's 10 per cent cattle price rollback. DiSalle said this would force a 10 per cent boost in- retail beef ceilings. Cooley denounced all cattle price rollbacks as “wholly un-American, illegal and immoral.” He denied that rollbacks were necessary, as DiSalle contends to relive a jiqueeze on, meat packers, S c^n^Tof Palymra Lodge No. 147 will be held tonight at 7:30 o’clock. Work will be done in the Master Mason’s de gree. Coots Accused Os Blocking Manager » Appointment Here Mayor Ralph E. Hanna and other members of Dunn’s city council charged today that City Commis sioner Leek Coats of Ward No. 1 has blocked the procurement of “an able city manager." The officials said they had select ed a good man for the poet and the man had accepted., provided every member of the board voted unanimously for him to come, a Just before voting, the Mayor said. Coats started questioning the city manager concerning his per sonal habits and asked if he drank whiskey. AFFIRMATIVE ANSWER The city manager replied that on occasion he had taken a sociable drink of whiskey and on one oc casion had served cocktails to a visitor who desired them while dis cussing a *33 million project. When Mayor Hanna called for a • vote, Commissioners J. V. Bass, B. A. Bracey and Tart voted for the prospect. Coats declined to- vote. The city manager then declined. Mayor Hanna said that at an ex ecutive session of the board last night, the commissioners “got on” Coats for his action, and that Coats told them the fact that the man drank influenced his decision not to /ote for him. . fl think it’s going to be impos sible to get a preacher for the of * fice,” said Mayor Hanna this tnora- R ing. - v ; Commissioner Coats, when asked for a statement by The Record, said he would make a written statement ooncerhing the matter. ..TV| ■llll V V7TITV r & i M.— i ■■■— TEHRAN—(W—W.

Paul Van Camp of Southern Pines, who has served as engineer for various municipal projects here in the past, appeared before the board and requested that the town apply to the Federal government for *3,000 to be spent In advance planning. The sum would go to pay the engineering cost of making sur veys and proposals for enlargement of Dunn's water plant. ACTION DEFERRED City officals voted to defer action until a later date, however, point ing out that any plans or surveys made at this time might be obso lete by the time the city got around to enlarging the plant. There has been disagreement over th urgency .of this project. Van Camp expressed belief that en largement would be necessary in another two years. Representatives from Dillon Sup ply Company In Raleigh appeared and asked that disposition be made of a *3,300 water pump or dered by former Water Superin tendent Bill (Shorty) Jackson In 1948.

WILSON U P Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON «B The Sate Department sought today to knock down any ideas that a miss ing British diplomat knows how many atomic bombs the United States has or the process of mak ing them. The diplomat Is Donald S. Mac lean, 38. He and Guy F. Burgess, 40, disappeared from their British Foreign Office jobs on May 26 in another notable British breach of security. The State Department concedes, however, that Maclean amassed a considerable amount of information on this government’s atomic, energy program. He got this in formation in 1947 and 1948 when he was secretary of the combined policy committee which decided atomic matters for the United States, Canada and Britain. .PROMPTED BY ARTICLE th* state Department's explana tlon of Maclean’s role In atomic affairs of the three nations was prompted last night by a copy right article is the magaHne U. a News 8( World Report.

But an armistice and the end of the fighting in Korea seemed a long way off. Red Troops Are On Move Below Neutral Kaesong BTH ARMY HQ, Korea—W—Hun dreds Os communist troops moved around Red defenses below the neutralized truce city of Kaesong today on both sides of the armistice highway U.N. convoys travel daily. There was no official analysis of the meaning of the busy move ments around Kaesong, which fol lowed the Bth Army announcement that at least 27 new communist divisions have been rushed to the Korean front to raise Red front line strength to possibly 720,000 men. UNDER CLOSE WATCH Three platoons and one company of Communists were kept under close watch as they shifted around defense posts southeast and south -of Kaesong. A 10-mile circle centered on Kae song is immune from U.N. attack during the cease-fire talks. No re strictions apply to the Red-held zone south and southeast -“Of the city, the last communist holding in ” ’refrained from any brushes with the enemy there as the talks go on. The Reds have lived up to their [ agreement to pull all their troops ! out of the neutral Kaesong circle 1 and the soldiers have not been in evidence from the road when U.N. convoys passed into the city. But , patrols have spotted hundreds of ; Red troops well back from the road. CLABH WITH REDS Patrols on the east and cen | tral front hammered away at ene my positions through Tuesday, pushing ahead 3Mi miles on the ’ coast in the Kaesong area. North , northwest of Kansong they had two , brief clashes with Reds. On the central front. Allied pa • trols advanced nearly two miles north Kumhwa.

' “Since 1946,” the department said, “there has been no exchange ! of information concerning flasion > able material production, process - es, weapons technology and de r velopments or stockpiles of fission l able materials and weapons.” However, Maclean had informa tion on the three nations’ atomic - patents for peacetime uses amounts , of uranium the A-bomb’s lngre i dient available to the three l countries at that time and what [ the committee considered should be classified, or kept secret, in , connection with atomic develop i ment. ) USEFUL TO RUSSIA ' “Borne of the iAformatton avail able to him in 1947 and 1948,” > the department said, “was classl l fled and would then have been use- I ful at that time to the Soviet I atomic energy program and' stra tegic planners. “Because of the changes In ■ rate and scale of the U. 8. program : In the Intervening years, the ln i formation available to him then ■ would not be of any approd-* . able aid to the ÜBBR.” The fact remains that Maclean > and Burgees did compile a great i deal of knowledge useful to the ; B?vlet - ’ wso naa Knowledge oi coaes, oi FIVE CENTS PER COPY The negotiators talked for 90 minutes yesterday in their fifth and friendliest meeting in the cease-fire city of Kaesong.

But after the meeting, an offic ial spokesman said that no pro- I gram had yet been agreed on, and I so far as could be learned none was expected at the sixth meeting set for 10 a.m. today (7 p.m. Tues day EST.) NO REAL NEWS At Tuesday’s briefing a corres pondent pointed out that no real news has come out of the talks • yet. The brlef/.g officer said he ■ would try to get some real news -by tonight. When a newsman commented on ; the shortness of Tuesday’s meet ; ing, U.N. negotiator Rp*(r Adm. • Arlelgh 31-Knot Burke replied: “Well, don’t forget it only takes I five minutes to get married.” UN officials said that a new Allied team may be named for the r actual writing of the ceitse-fire ' pact, perhaps under the leadership l of Lt. Oen. James A. Van Fleet, i Bth Army commander, because of the military problems which will ' have to be settled when the hard ; terms of the settlement are drawn.
