PARSONS' OLD GEN. PERSHING SCHOOL
Old ond Outmoded City Schoof Becomes Place of Employment for 100 Skilled Workers
Hata la pictorial proof of tha transforma¬ tion of the outmoded 86-year-old Gen. Persii- ing Scbooi, Paraona, into a modern plant for the Acme Metal Products, a preciaion tool and die worlis and machine shop that wlU employ 100 men when  in full production.
Seen on the atepa, left to right, are EHmrr Re«a« Jr., and George Reese, who with their father, Elmer Haeaa ar., and another brother. Paul Re«««, comprise tha official family of Acma Metal Producta, a threa - year - old Wllkes-Barra industry that operates in cramped quarters at 28S New Hanoock street, city, l>«for« moving Into tha fonner schooi building laat Monday.
Tha elder Raaaa and hta tbrea sons, all Wllkes-Barra natives, ara axpart tooi and die and maotaina workera.
At prasent 40 men ara being amployed In tha naw plant Tha first floor of tha achool waa remodeled to provlda for administrative offloaa and two Iarga tooi and milling and latha rooms.
Workmen ara attll buay changing the •econd floor of tha former achool Into suitable machina ahop quartera.
Ona of tha iatga alda entrances on the •ehool waa conrartad Into a modarn loading dock.
Ti\a frama aiding ©f tha achool, which was abandoned by tha school district In 1960, haa been covered with an attractive, fire-resistant aiding   and   tha   building   eonforma   with   the
residential nature of tha Matson avenue sci' tlon where it is situated.
This eight-room school was built In Worlc! War I days by Parsons Borough School Dis¬ trict and was named in honor of Gen. John J. Perahing. On the same plot was the old Theo dora Roosevelt frame school, which was razed after Parsons entered the eity.
Pershing School was closed In 1950 wher: the 6-8 system of education was adopted by Wilkes-Barre Board of Education. Students of the old Pershing School area are now at¬ tending cla.Mes in the newer end better- equipped S<tS Memorial and Calvin Parsona Schools in Parsons.
The outmoded Per.ihlng building was sold for $13,000 to the Reese family. The Board of •education cooperated fully in the transaction when It learned of the local industry's need for larger quarters due to a growing number of orders from some of the nation's largest firms.
The Acme firm at present Is busy with orders for models from IBM Corp., televiaion tuiies for Westinghouse and Tungsol Corp. and airplane parts for Republic Aircraft.
Elmer Reese Jr., reported that the New Hancock street plant only had 2,*00 square feet, whereas the former school gives the com¬ pany 15,000 square feet of space for instal¬ lation of more machinery and mors efficient operation.
He said the firm's specialty Is precision work in the electronics and aircraft fields.
Washington Plans Truce Ceremony
WASHINGTON.—High American officials anticipate an end to the three-year Korean War •within a week as India and S"witzerland accepted membership on the five- nation commission ¦which will take custody of anti-Com¬ munist war prisoners.
Barring unforeseen developments, officials planned on a truce ceremony in Korea "anytime" after the middle of the week. Some thought the truce document would be ready for signing Wednesday or Thursday.
Rocks May Relent
As truce hopes rose to new heights, expectations were high, too, that South Korea will relent and decide not to continue the war alone. Officials did not minimize the danger of a South Korean rebellion, but they took the view that the odds against it had changed.
The Indian and Swiss diplomatic missions were sent representa¬ tives to the State Department to communicate their governments' decisions to serve without reservation on the truce commission.
India's decision had not heen expected so soon because an earlier conimunication had raised questions about the advisability of sending Indian troops into the Korean War zone to guard prisoners refusing to return to Communiat Korea and China, j
Position Explained
The State Department was understood to have allayed India's fears by pointing out that under the Allied-Communist draft truce agreement, the United Nations Command is responsible for main-i taining order after an armistice in the southern area. South Korea' had threatened to fight the Indian troops that would guard the war! prisoners. i
Sweden earlier had accepted membership on the five-nation com-: mission, and the Polish Embassy here announced the Warsaw gov-j ernment also had accepted.
Czechoslovakia's formal acceptance was escpected soon. The Czech radio  has   broadcast that  the  Prague  government  has  accepted  a

2 Big Settlementa
The steel pact, signed Friday between the CIO Steel Workers and the big five of the steel in¬ dustry, followed by just two weeks a similar "fast and easy" accord between the major auto producers and the giant CIO Auto Workers Union.
Both negotiations could have erupted into disputes leading to the White House. Last year, the Truman administration was deeply involved in the 54-day steel strike that brought federal seizure of the industry and the subsequent Supreme Court ruling that such action was unconstitutional.

President   Eisenhower   has   foi lowed  two courses  which  appear to have played   a  major  part  in the auto and steel  cases.   These were:
