SEOUL, Korea, Tuesday (IHW
President Eisenhower’s personal
trouble-shooter and President Syng

' aged Rhee may be preparing hb
people for acceptance of United
States truce terms.
It will be the 10th meeting be

Walter Robertson and Rhee in ai.

their “little armbtice” talks.
I Speculation that Rhee’s attiti <a
I may be softening accomuanied otn-
I er reports that Bth Army command-
I er Gen. Maxwell Taylor was plan-
I ning to withdraw the seven Ameri-
I can and one British divbions from
I the battleline and turn the en-
I tire 155-mile front over to the
I South Koreans.
I The withdrawal plans would be
I put into effect in case Rhee de-
I ‘cides to fight on alone.
I American sources doubted Ko-
I rean reports that Robertson had
■ suggested new, “less severe” truce
I terms to Rhee.
I MUCH SPECULATION
I I However, the very nature of tire
I (reports also aroused speculation
that the Koreans may be “plant
ing” stories about American com
promises and propoaab to premie
Koreans for Rhee’s acceptance of
“now-or-never” terms laid down by
I the United States.
It was suggested Rhee may have
decided he cannot fight on alone
and has decided to prepare hb
people for a policy change—per
haps trying to make it appear he
had won a victory in hb sessions
wUh Robertson. ,
The story as related by Korean
sources, was that “the talks are
i nearing a finale due to Americas
generosity.”
If the withdrawal plan b put in

Half Os Them
Died In Big
Homeward Push
By UNITED PRESS
At least 254 persons were
killed in traffic accidents
during the Fourth of July
weekend, half of them ill
the last 14 hours of the ho*
liday period when motoristi •
were rushing to get home.;
A survey showed today that 122
persons drowned during the period
from 6 p m. Friday until midnight
Sunday. Plane crashes killed three
persons, and 43 died in miscellany
eous accidents. Fireworks killed
one person, injured scores.
The overall total o. violent
deaths was 423.
Ned H. Dearborn, president of
the National Safety Council, said
the number of traffic deaths dou
bled in the last fourth of the holiday
period. He said this “was a tragic
commentary on what impatience
and fatigue can do to mass motors
ing in the big homeward push that
closes a hoUday.”
The council had issued a pre
holiday estimate that 290 persons
would be killed, but revised its esti
mate to 215 Sunday morning on the
basis of the rate of deaths at that
time. •
Deaths from injuries suffered
during the weekend probably will
boost the Independence Day traffic
toll to more than 500.
After Fourth of July parades
and outings millions of Americans
spent Sunday loafing, at sporting
events or in making the weary**
drive home, from their weekend
retreats. ~
