Rhee Indicates
Progress Made
On Agreement
South Korean Head
Says Understanding
*Greatly Improved’
SEOUL, Korea. June 26 —(UR—
President Syngman Rhee emerged
from his first conference with Pres-
ident Elsenhower's special envoy to-
day and reported "our mutual un-
derstanding la being greatly Im-
proved”
Rhee. a lone figure standing In the
way of an armistice between the
United Nations and the Commun-
ists. said Assistant Secretary of
State Walter 8. Robertson "has
brought many good ideas.”
The 7g-year-old South Korean
leader and Mr. Elsenhower's per-
sonal trouble-shooter talked for two
hours and 45 minutes as Robertson
diplomatically sought to bring Rhee
In line with the UN effort.
Rhee's statement was one of the
moat hopeful developments since he
openly rebelled against the armis-
tice agreement which awaits signa-
ture at Panmunjom.
Meeting Is Cordial
Robertson agreed the first session
was a cordial one. He called it ”a
very amicable meeting" and voiced
hope "we are making progress in re-
moving misunderstanding."
U. 8. Ambassador Ellis O. Briggs.
8outh Korean Foreign Minister
Pyun Yung Tae and Defense Minis-
ter Shin Tae Yung sat in on the be-
ginning of the session but departed
later to leave Robertson and Rhee
to talk alone.
Robertson handed Rhee a letter
from Secretary of State John Fos-
ter Dulles, believed to be a final
save-the-truce plan, and possibly a
letter from Mr. Eisenhower.
Hold Brief Chat
At the end of the conference with
Rhee. Robertson went to Pyun's of-
fice for a 15-mlnute chat.
As Robertson and Rhee met for
the first time, there were several
developments on the tense Korean
scene:
1. Lieutenant General William K.
Harrison, chief UN negotiator, flew
from the allied truce camp 4
Munsan for a conference In Tokyo
with Oeneral Mark W. Clark, whose
attempts to win over Rhee bad
failed.
2. President Elsenhower suggested
sending another diplomat to talk
over the truce situation with Rhee
at some site outside Korea—perhaps
Japan or Okinawa.
Crisis Called TMfflewIt'
Senator Styles Bridges of New
Hampshire said in Washington, af-
ter a talk with Mr. Eisenhower,
that the Korean truce crisis is
"one of the moat difficult” faced by
the United States but is not "hope-
less.”
4. Chinese Communist troops
tried to crack the western front with
a force of 10.000 to 15,000 men.
5. South Korean police held
Rhee's major critic, Secretary Oen-
eral Chough Pyung Ok of the oppo-
sition party, under "protective cus-
tody” after he called Rhee's anti-
truce stand “suicidal.”
Robertson said he would meet a-
gain with Rhee but gave no further
Information on the time or place
He refused to discuss the note he
handed to Rhee, but American sour-
ces here said they understood It did
not contain the mutual aid pact de-
manded by Rhee but did assure
him the United States would guar-
antee him Immediate military assis-
tance in the event of another Com-
munist Invasion.

Warmly Awaited Front
Passes Without Promised Rain
A fading “cold” front moved out of Oklahoma today,
but failed to set off thunderstorms predicted earlier by the
weather bureau.
The rapidly fading front passed over El Reno at about
6 p. m. Thursday and diminished as it moved southeast. An
appreciable drop in the thermometer was felt in the north-
west section of the state, but little change was felt by the
time it had reached central Oklahoma.
The United Press reported that cooling breezes moved
eastward across the nation today and touched off thunder-
rains

some sections of the midwest.

Railroads Ask
Mail Rate Hike
WASHINGTON. June 26 —UP)
The railroad industry today asked
an increase of at least 45 percent
in payments for hauling the U. S.
mail.
A petition for the raise was filed
with the Interstate commerce com-
mission only 24 hours after Post-
master Oeneral Summerfield ap-
pealed to congress for a general
postage-rate advance.
The postoffice department is run-
ning millions of dollars In the red

the postage rate hike—Including a
boost from 3 cents to 4 cents for
letter mail—to close part of the gap
between revenue and spending.

mall at a loss and an increase in
their compensation is essential.

Russian Tanks Police 'Rally'
In East Berlin Against Riots ■
BERLIN. June 26—<UJD— Rus-
sian tanks stood by today for
quick action in the event a Com-
munist-ordered "rally” of East
Berlin workers got out of hand.
As the tanks took their posi-
tions, reports reaching West Ber-
lin said the Russians had bathed
in Mood their East German
“people's" police system in repris-
als against cops who deserted or
refused to obey orders during last
week's riots.
The reports said 826 people's
policemen had been sentenced to
long prison terms for joining dem-
onstrators or refusing to shoot
them. A number of policemen
were shot, the reports disclosed.
The reports reached West Ber-
lin as Soviet zone Communists
dlsclaaed they had been forced to
abandon plans for expanding the
present 120,000-man “people's
police” force Into a full fledged
East German army of 12 divisions
totaling 500.000 men.
The Communists said the 600,-
000.000 eastmarks (1120.000.000)
originally earmarked for the army
now must be diverted to construc-
tion of workers homes.
But unreliability of the Red po-
lice force during last week’s up-
rising was believed to be another
major factor in the decision to
scrap the army plan.
West Berlin authorities said 187
“people’s police” had fled to the
west since June 17, including 41
yesterday.

presumably causing the death of
two and injury to the other.
The command announcement said
about 30 prisoners started to escape
through a hole in the compound
fence. The UN guards ordered them,
to halt and were joined by peri-
meter guards employing non-toxic
irritants—either tear gas or vomit-
ing gas.
The compound said 12 of the pris-
oners returned to the compound.
The others in the group that tried
to escape through a hole in the
compound fence were captured by
an American alert platoon.
On the war front, the biggest Red
advance in a week occurred when
between 10,000 and 15.000 Chinese
troops rammed Into South Korean
front lines on the western and
central fronts today and grabbed
three vital hills commanding the
invasion route to Seoul.
ROKS Halt Offensive
Communist troops smashed back
counter-attacking South Korean in-
fantrymen and took full control of
Bak hill on the Itnjin river front
directly north of Seoul.
Two ROK counter-thrusts failed
to rescue South Korean troops trap-
ped in bunkers. The ROKS were
fighting against overwhelming
numbers of Chinese forces.
The REDS took full control of
the strategic heights east of the Im-
jin at 6 p.m.
Communist forces now occupy

post guarding the vital railhead of
Yonchon and the western end of
the broad Chorwon valley. All
three were Important positions.
Nothing was reported further of
the trapped ROK first division
troops who were fighting from
bunkers on Bak hill against Chi-
nese pouring up onto the crest from
recently-captured trenches.
It was ali part of the biggest Red
drive in more than a week.
DecMana Delayed
Morse said it probably will be next
Monday or later—after Secretary
of Agriculture Ezra T. Benson re-
turns from a personal inspection of
the drought area—before any firm
decisions are reached on federal
relief moves. Benson planned to
leave this afternoon for a first hand
look at the situation in Texas.
Meanwhile Hope's committee con-
tinued public hearings (at 10 am.
EDT) on the drought that has
brought back memories of the "dust
bowl” days of the thirties. A Texas
delegation told the committee yes
terday that this year’s prolonged
dry spell, coming after two previous
years of inadequate rainfall, had
brought many ranches to “the end
of their rope.”
