Traitorous Spies
Make Third Appeal
To Escape Death
WASHINGTON. March 30 UP—
Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, con-
demned atomic spies, appealed a
third time lo the Supreme Court
Monday to escape the electric
chair, charging they were convicted
on perjured testlmoney.
The couple has been in the death
house, ol New York's Sing Sing
prison for more than a year while
various legal maneuvers to save
them have been taken through'
federal courts. President Elsen-
hower last month refused to com-
mute their sentence to life im-
prisonment.
The doomed spies were convict-
ed for membership in an Interna-
tiona I espionage ring which passed
atomic secrets tp Russia.
Justice Department attorneys be-
gan at once to examine the appeal
papers filed with the Supreme
Court clerk Monday by Emanuel
H BLOCH, New York, lawyer for
the couple. The goyernment has
25 days In which to reply.
Mark (lark Is
Expected To
Propose Meeting
ll> RUTHERFORD M. I'OATS
TOKYO. March 30— UP — Gen
Mark Clark, was expected Monday
to propose a meeting at Panmun-
Jom within 48 hours to open nego-
tiations with the Communists for
exchanging sick and wounded pris-
oners of year.
The United Nations Far East
commander was understood to be
drafting a reply to the Red note
accepting UN proposals for ex-
changing prisoners However, Gen
Clark’s note was expected to make
clear the Immediate meetings
would deal only with sick and
wounded
The Reds also proposed resump-
tion ol the truce talks.
Clark s headquarters was deter-
mined the Communists would not
be permitted to use the limited
prisoner exchange to reopen the
debate on returning all prisoners
ol war until UN conditions were
met.
The UN repeatedly told the Reds
before the truce talks were recess-
ed Oct 8 the POW subject would
not be taken up again until the
Communists dropped their demand
for forced repatriation of prison-
ers.
A Tass dispatch published in
Moscow uewspa|g'is indicated the
Reds would exchange the sick and
wounded only with the soldiers'
consent.
| "It should be noted that Article
109 of the Geneva Convention on
prisoners ol war obliges belliger-
•(ents to "repatriate severely 111 and
, badly wounded prisoners regard-
less of their ranks or numbers aft-
er they had been nursed to a state
enabling their transportation," the
Tass dispatch said.
“This article also stipulates con-
sent must be received from sick
and wounded prisoners of war to
repatriation while military hostili-
ties are going on," Tass said.
