INTRODUCED BY NIXON
Mr. Truman was introduced by
Vice President Richard M. Nixon.
He observed that the former pres

TOKYO, Thursday (IP)
! President Eisenhower’s
; personal trouble shooter goes
i to Korea today, as the war
enters its fourth year, to
make a new—and possibly
final—attempt to get Kcm
j rean President Syngman,
Rhee to accept an armistice?
Rhee plans to greet presidential
; envoy Walter Robertson, assistant
secretary of state, with a 1,000,000*
person anti-truce demonstration 111
| Seoul.
Barbed wire barricades were
1 erected in front of United Stats*
Bth Army and sth Air Force head*
! quarters in event that mobs try to
i storm them.
But there was also a slight sof
tening of the South Korean trues
attitude.
Rhee said in an NBC television
interview that his conference with
Robertson “may open new chan
nels so that the settlement of ths
peace talks may be more agree
able to us and perhaps more hon
orable to the United Nations.” )
TO NOTIFY CLARK
Rhee also promised Gen. Mark
W. Clark, supreme U. N. comman
: der, to notify him in advance if he
| withdraws South Korean troop*
| from the U. N. Command in event
that an unacceptable armistice is
i signed.
| Rhee’s foreign minister, Pyun
Yung Tae, one of the most clam
orous opponents of the armistice,
said Rhee might accept if the polit
cal conference after the truce is
limited to “three or four months.”
Robertson will deliver a personal
letter to Rhee from Secretary at
State John Foster Dulles. It is
reported that the letter contains a
promise that the United States wiU
enter a security pact with South
■ Korea if Rhee agrees to jute trace.
The Communists . “observed “the
'test day of the third feag of tqE
war by loosing a 6,000-man attadk
on United States and South Korean
positions. American Sabre Jets shot
down six Russian-made MIG-15 jet
fighters.
Rhee, who rebuffed Clark’s-, at- '
tempts to change the South Korean
government’s adamant stand a
gainst the truce, ordered the en
tire population of his capital to
pour into the streets tomorrow in
protest.
CONTENTS SECRET
Robertson refused to disclose
publicly the contents of his secret
message for Rhee but it was be
lieved to be at “compromise plan”
in answer to Rhee’s own three-pebMt
proposal for peace. j
