Knowland Blasts
Stevenson Proposal
For Pact with Reds
WASHINGTON, (ff)—Sen. Know
land (R-Calif) let fly Monday with
a double-barreled blast against the
kind of non-agression pact with
Russia proposed by Adlai E. Stev
enson and against what he termed
yielding by India to some Red
China policies.
Knowland is Republican floor
leader in the Senate, but he main
tained he was speaking for him
self, not as a member of the Eis
enhower administration. There
was no White House comment,
but Sen. Theodore Green (D-RI)
said: “I hope he is not reflecting
White House views . . . does he
think we can fight the whole
world alone?”
Fresh from weekend confer
ences with President Eisenhower
and Secretary of State Dulles,
Knowland to'ld a news conference
he would oppose any pact guaran
teeing Russia’s borders unless the
Soviets agreed in advance to free
elections in their satellite nations.
Knowland verbally spanked
Prime Minister Nehru of India.
He said Nehru speaks for only a
part of Asia, and that if Nehru’s
voice was paramount the ultimate
Communization of Asia would be
in prospect.
Knowland, just returned from
a world tour, accused India of
“yielding to the policies of the
Chinese Communists before there
is any peace conference in Korea.”
The Californian struck out dir
ectly at a proposal by Stevenson,
the 1952 Democratic presidential
nominee, that the United States
offer Russia a system of non-ag-,
gression guarantees in a move to
force a showdown with the Sov
iets in the Cold War.
Stevenson said after a White
House conference last Thursday
that Eisenhower was weighing the
suggestion.

Winning Series Hit
Right And Proper
From Billy Martin
NEW YORK, UP)—It was right
and proper that the player whom
Casey Stengel loves above all his
other Yankees should have been
the one to stroke the ninth-inning
single which won the deciding
game of the 1953 World Series and
made the old professor the only
manager in the history of the
game to win five straight champ
ionships.
If the grizzled strategist could
have picked his man to lace the
one-two drive into center field
that gave the bombers their thrill
ing 4-3 victory, his choice would
have been the hard-bitten little
scrapper he Hianaged at Oakland
and whom he sooner or later
brings into almost every conversa
tion.
Even Chuck Dressen of the
Dodgers might have had slightly
mixed feelings when he saw Billy
Martin lay into Clem Labine’s
second pitch and watched Hank
Hank Bauer heading for home
with his ground-eating strides, for
Dressen also holds a soft feeling
for the kid who buried his hopes.
By one of baseball’s choice co
incidences, he managed the boy
he refers to as “that tough little
monkey” the year before Casey
did at Oakland.
After what happened Monday
it can only be accepted that the
Yankees are supposed to win
World Series and that the present
Brooklyn team, however good, is
destined to wind up with the los
er’s share.
While the Brooks went down in
six games this time instead of the
seven they normally insist upon,
they were by no means outclassed
nor brought disgrace to the Na
tional League. Their lack of pitch
ing depth finally told on them, as
it figured to do, but they proved
themselves the strong hitters their
averages promised and they never
quit punching.
Indian Troops
Would Not Halt
Anti-Red Uprising
PANMUNJOM, UP)—The senior
Indian officer in Korea said Tues
day that Indian troops would not
attempt to halt a mass breakout
of anti-Communist war prisoners
because of the “terrible slaughter”
that would follow.
Lt. Gen. K. S. Thimayya made
the statement at a news confer
ence even as thousands jammed
streets in the South Korean capi
tal of Seoul in a demonstration
against Indians guarding POWs
who have refused to go home.
It also came amid renewed
threats by South Korean leaders
to drive out the Indians — whom
they denounce as pro-Communist.
Thimayya said “We are not con
cerned if South Korea threatens
us because we have the huge U.N.
Command” and Communist forces
“at our disposal.”
He said the U.N. Command was
responsible for preventing South
Korean troops from entering the
neutral zone to attack the Indian
forces.
Meanwhile, the repatriation
commission reported five North
Korean and one Chinese POW
changed their minds and will be
turned over to the Communists
Wednesday.
Thimayya did not comment on
a letter sent to him Tuesday by
Gen. Mark W. Clark in which the
retiring Far East commander said
the United Nations will not waiv
er from the principle of freedom
of choice for the 23,000 anti-Com
munist prisoners in Indian cus
tody.
Clark said the U.N. had shed
blood to win that right and will
not compromise.
Clark, who turned over his com
mand today to Gen. John E. Hull,
accused the five-nation repatria
tion commission—of which India
is chairman—o'f working on the
false idea that the reluctant pris
oners “actually desire repatria
tion.”
