Dulles Asserts Ike Averted China War Says War Averted On Three Occasions ' WASHINGTON (INS) —Seer® tary of state John Foster Dulles says the Eisenhower administration averted war with Communist China on three occasions by taking “strong action” in each instance. ’ In an interview reWsed by Life magazine Wednesday, Dulles wm quoted as saying the administration looked war "square in the face—on the question of enlarging the Korean war, on . . . getting into the IndoChina war. and on the question of Formosa.'* The magazine said Dullea believes that “clear warnings’’ of counteraction by the U. S. deterred Red bhina from war on these occasions: 1. After President . Syngman Rhee of the Republic of Korea ordered the release of anti-Com-munist prisoners of war in 1953, while truce negotiations were underway. 2. When the U..-S. warned that it would intervene if Communist China moved into Indo-China; 3. When congress authorized the President to use force to help Chia'Sg Kai-Shek defend Formosa against a possible Red attack. According to the magazine, Dul les credited President Eisenhower with taking decisive action after Rhee made hia move. He was quoted as saying he telephoned the President at 2 a. m. on June 18, 1953 to inform the Chief Executive of Rhee’s actio*. The story said Dulles realized that freeing the prisoners might broaden the war. It said that Mr. Eisenhower made his decision to repudiate the release and the negotiators later reached an agreement that ended the fighting. Dulles M "was. quoted as saying that "you have to take chances I for peace, just as you must take I chances in-war.”

Oppose Israel Request For U. S. Arms Some Influential Republican Aides .. Opposing Request WASHINGTON (INS) — Influential elements within the Eisenhower administration have made a strong recommendation to reject Israel’s application to buy American arms. Opponents of the arms deal propose instead that the U.R. and other Western countries iujftMify their secret efforts to arrange peace between the Arab world and Israel. These officials believe that the best hope for the continued ex|st ence of Israel as a state wilb be for her to make concessions to the Arabs. . LL They will get a chance to wther this line of thought when frttish assistant under state Evelyn Shuckburgh begins a series of conferences today f’-in Washington with U.S. assistant secretary of state George V.’ Allen and other high-ranking American experts. . <... _ * LX The conferees will work out a blueprint for a,solid Anglo-Ameri-can position an the many-sided Middle East problem. Their recommendations will be presented to President Eisenhower and British prime minister Sir Anthony Eden when they meet in Washington Jan. 31. Secretary of state John Foster Dulles told his news conference Wednesday that the U. S. still has not made up its mind about selling arms to Israel, indicating that the U.S. Is not sure whether the Israeli-Arab problem can be worked out peacefully. He said a fresh look will be taken at the arms proposal after the United Nations security council acts on the protest Syrjp made against an Israeli attack in which 56 Syrian soldiers were killed. Opponents oft the proposed deal with Israel argue that if the U.S. sends arms tb the Israeli, then Egypt will merely put in more orders for military equipment from the communists. It is further argued that the, 46 million Arabs could , utilize let more arms than the less than two million Israeli, and if an arms r«ee develops, Israel will certainly lose. It is also believed by this group that over a period of years, even without foreign help the Arab world’will be stronger than Israel because of its greater population and tar greater natural resoureee. Therefore, it is agrued, every effort should be made to Induce the Israeli to make an effective ltd for permanent peace. The thinking of this group is that Israel will have to make serious concessions. Franklin Man Is Granted Freedom CHICAGO (INS) —The good life which Earl F. Holtman, alias John F.

Paratrooper Saves Life Os Sergeant Sergeant's 'Chute Had Failed To Open FORT CAMPBELL, Ky.

James Closson of Everett, Mass., hurtle past him during a mass Jump Wednesday. Smith made a desperate grab for Closson's' unopened parachute and miraculously caught it. The two men then floated down safely. Brig. Gen. Joe Stilwell, Jr., commander of the 188th regiment, 11th airborne division, who led the jump, heard of the incident and immediately ordered the two enlisted men before him. Addressing Smith, he asked: “Soldier, what’s your rank?” "Private, sir,” replied Staith. "Son. When you get back to your company," the general said, "you’ll find you are a private first class. That was quick thinking." After inquiring of the sergeant’s condition, the general dismissed the grinning PFC and the lucky sergeant. . --- / To Pay Strikers' Insurance Payments Mallory Company Advances Payments INDIANAPOLIS (INS) — P. R. Mallory Company has announced it will pay insurance premiums for its 3,200 striking employes -until further notice. Company vice-president Frank B. Powers sent a telegram to Robert L.
