Dunn Womans Club
ftyHaye Newjipme
At the conchuriMt cf the meet
ing yesterday of the Dunn Sen
ior Woman’s Club, the President,
Mrs. Pat Lynch asked Mrs.
W. W. Carroll to take the chair
so that she could speak from the
floor. Mrs. Lynch then Informed the
ladies of the executive board’s pro
posal to purchase the Glenn Hoop
er home for *12,000 to be used for
the club,
I The proposal came as a complete
surprise to the members, but af
ter very little discussion the mem
bers agreed to go along with the
recommendation and voted unani
mously to purchase the property.
The purchase of this property
cancels the plans for building a
community building on the pro
perty which the wothan’s club re
cently purchased tor that purpose
•from the town of Dunn.
The executive board's proposal
r for this land is that the club offer
to resell it to the town for the
* pricer paid, or, if the town will not
make the refund, to someone else.
Plans for the use of the new
buildihg, which will be occupied by
the club this fall, make no provis
ion for the library, for which ten
tative provision had been made in
the proposed community building.
Members of the club bad tried
for months to interest other organ
isations in aiding them in their ef
\ forts on the community building
project but none would agree to
help substantially, and the group
felt that they would be unable to
swing the project alone. They re

UN Is Ready To
Resume Stalled
Pasiaufljoin Talks
WASHINGTON, <W The
"United Nations command is
ready to take steps to reopen
the long-stalled truce nego- ;
tiations in a new effort ts.
end the Korean war.
Informed sources revealed that
Gen. Mark W. Clark. U. N. coirtr
mander in Korea, has been auth
orized to p opose a meeting of AH
lied and Communist liaison offic
ers to set a date for resumption,
of the talks.
He also has been given a gO*T'
ahead, it was learned, to
Switzerland as a neutral state to
assume control of Allied-held prl*S,
oners who refuse to return to theirS
Communist homelands.
There was no word here whifr
Clark would deliver his proposals-!
to Red negotiators. It was expect- ;
ed he would act quickly to spike
Communist charges that the Al
lies were “reluctant" to resume' ttt"
truce talks.
But he might decide to hold ba<H§|
in view of the sitdown strike dC|
Communist exchange prisoners artt-S
the failure of reconnaissance ptyg,!
ots to spot Allied POWs supposed
to be enroute to Panmunjom for f.
release. I ,
The Allies made the agreement ,
on the exchange of sick and in-.d
jured prisoners a condition for njk
sumption of full armistice talks. A
real hitch on this would certatagH
rule out the talks.
