On Neutral To

PANMUNJOM (W lnfo
rmed sources indicated there
is a good possibility that a
greement can be reached to
day on a neutral nation to
take charge of Communist
war prisoners who refuse to
go home if the Red negotia
tors will just quit stalling.
The Reds -were put on notice at
yesterday’s session to come ba.:k
today prepared to buckle down to
a serious effort to remove that
stumbling block to an armistice.
t)nlted Nations Chief Delegate
Lt. Gen. William K. Harrison also
told the Communists yesterday that
the U. N. is not favorable to nam
ing an Asian nation as the super
vising neutral. But it was generally
believed Indte might be accepted
if named by the Reds.
What Harrison and his team
want when they sit down with
North Korean Gen. Nam II and
other Communist negotiators at 11
a. m. (10 p. m. Thursday, EDT) is
some specific proposals rather than
more lectures from the Red ne
gotiators.
SOME CONCESSIONS
Harrison has indicated the U. N.
; is willing to go along with some
concessions on the length of time
reluctant Red prisoners would be
held in Korea while Communist
I salesmen attempt to convince them
they should go back to their Red
; homelands.
But he aJso made it clear to the
1 Reds that he is prepared to sus
pend the current series of nego
tiations unless the Communists
come up with some constructive
■ proposals,
Harrison did not give the Rgds
1 one other alternative.

Young, key figure in mink coat

of four months to two years for

Retirement Plan Would Mean;
Big Increase In Taxes Here -
Dunn’s city tax rate, already a
mong the highest in the entire
State for a town its size, will take
another big jump if citizen* vote
next Tuesday in favor of a retire
ment plan for city employees.
City Manager A. B. Uzzle said
today that approval, of- the plan,
would add another 11 cehta per
$lO9 valuation to the.
This on iKnSwn s
total property of M 1*99.1
000.00.
If the plan is approved fyere, Dunn
would also become one of the few
small town in the State —and pos
sibly the smallest—to add this ex
tra burden on the taxpayers.
OFFICIALS SPLIT ON ISSUE
City”’ officials themselves are
sharply divided on the issue. Two
members of the city council are
opposing the plan as too expensive
and also unnecessary, while two
other members and Mayor Jtalph
E. Hanna favor the plan.
Mayor Hanna last year broke the
tie to prevent a decrease in Dunn’s
tax rate and is in favor of increas
ing taxes again to provide the re
tirement plan.
TWO ELIGIBLE IN HISTORY
Those opposing the plan point
out that only two city employees
have become eligible for retirement
during the past 25 years and that
it would he unfair to penalize the
taxpayers when there is so little
need for a retirement plan.
Past experience has shown that
