An American spokeaman aaid the Communist propoeal wiaa be¬ ing "carefully studied" in Wash ington but that no decision will be made on the queation until tomorrow. U. S. Undecided The United States, acting aa agent for the U. N., haa proposed that the peace conference itself decide whether to invite neutral nations to take part in the peace talks scheduled to begin Oct. 28. The U. S. haa not indicated one way or the other whether It would agree to discussing an en¬ largement of the conference dur¬ ing the proposed preliminary talks.

Fulton's demand was made aa the State I>eipartment kept of- ficiaJl silence on Mar^al Tito's plan for settling the future of disputed Trieste. U. S. Britain Going Ahead But responsible sources said the United States and Britain would not back down on their plan to pull Anglo-American oc¬ cupation troops out of zone A and give control of that aone to Italy. As for Tito's proposal to give juet the city of Trieste to Italian control, one dlphxmat described the plan as utterly impractical. There was some disposition in of¬ ficial quarters here to believe tibat Tito may have been speaking solely for home conaumiptlon. Fulton, a member of the House Foreign Affairs comimittee, also proposed the withdrawal of all American mHltary and oivllian perssonnel from the tensa Trieate area.

PANMtWTJON (IP) — United States Marines ,d u g in Sunday near neutral zone prisoner stock¬ ades with their tank gun muz¬ zles, howitzers and flame throw¬ ers facing north and south to guard against any attennipt by Communists or South Koreans to forcibly free 22,500 anti-Commu¬ nist prisoners. The American Marines took up trench and fighting positions against a threatened South Kor¬ ean attempt to free the anti-Reds an,d to prevent any menacing move by the Reda. Koreans Replaced Eighth Anny Commander Gen. Maxwell D. Taylor, apparently acting on high United Nations orders, replaced the South Kor¬ ean marine guards arouixd the priaoner stockades with Ameri¬ can Leathernecks. Thy Neutral Nations Repatria¬ tion Commission Sunday waa awaiting a reply from the Com¬ munists as to whether they were ready to stant Monday on the long-delayed attempt to persuade the antl-Communlst North Kor¬ eans and Chinese to return to their Redhomelands. FaoUltiea BMdy Tho (ivo nation. GomuoiMiott Sst¬ urday nig^ tol,d the Oonununists that the United Nationa will com¬ plete temporary Interview booths within 24 hours and asked the Reds if they were ready to atart the explanation interviews with prisoners Monday morning. The C^onuniinists were expected to answer later Sun.day and if they say yes, it may set off an¬ other (tispute between the U. N. and the Indian-dominated com¬ mission. Objections Sure The Allies, particularly South Korea, are almost aure to object to any method the Indiana uae to force violently anti-Oommunist prisoners to the e]cplana;tion aes- sions with Red officers. Under repatriation rulea the Communists must give the Com¬ mission 24 houra notice of how many priaonera they will inter¬ view each day. If the Omunu- nists are to start Monday, they must file notice with the com¬ mission by 10 a. m. Sunday. Communist correspondent Wil¬ fred Burchett, an unofficial spokeaman for the Reda, said Sat¬ urday tbe Reda would atart the explanations Monday if they af- provod tiM tetoifotuy liXas. . The letter was written to a St. Joseph, Mo., attorney and its contents were discloeed by cab driver John Hager who led po¬ lice to the door of Hell's hide- way apartment. "As I recall it," Hager said, the letter read like this: " 'Things arc not going as good as they seem. May have to leave the country by ship or plane'." But Hager said Saturday Hall ask^d him to get a "nice room in a quiet place." The kidnapper said he wanted to "lay low for about a month until the heat dies off." At that time, Hager said, he was sus¬ picious of Hall because of the big bills he was throwing around but believed he was involved only in an "insurance embezzlement." Evasive About Money Police recovered about $295,000 of the $600,000 ransom, paid six days after Bobby was dead and buried in a shallow grave iu St Joseph, Mo., but Hall has so far skillfully evaded telling what he did with the remainder. Hall and his plump paramour, Mrs. Bonnie Heady, St. 'Joseph .divorcee who stole Bobhy from his achool in Kansas City, are held here in lieu of $100,000 bonda on extortion charges.

DEWEY STEPS INTO RACETRACK SCANDALS NEW YORK (tP>—Gov. Thomas E. Dewey on Saturday ordered aX\ ot New York state's police agencies into a sweeping race¬ track Investigation as one of the figures involved was arrested for a miirder committed 28 years ago. At the same time tae granted swee(ping ini}ulry powers to the oommission, which waa created in the wttke of a murder growing out of laibor racket* at one track and disclosure that employees had been stwken down by union leaders st another. As Dewey acted, Nassau county police arretAed (3eoi«e Florea, a former Roosevelt Raceways offi¬ cial, on charges of murdering two troHey car men at Mt. Vernon, N. Y., in 1»25. Police said fingerprints taken when he was booked on extortion chargea matched those left at the scene of the troUey ecu: murders 2S yean aco. eral authorities aaid they will be moved to Kanaaa City sometime next week. Hager said he believed Hail buried the missing money. The fab driver said he rented an auto for HaU Tuesday morning. He said Hall put two suitcases in the rented oar a n .d drove off. When Hall returned 4 p. m. Hag¬ er .said, the car wes mud splat¬ tered and he later notic"d that Hali had put 80 miles on the speedometer. "Shipped Off a Bundle" Hager quoted Hall aa saying upon his return that "I feel re¬ lived. I just shippc.d off a bundle." Meanwhile, the search went on for Thomas John Marsh, 37-year- old degenerate whom Hall named as the killer of the Greenlease boy. Reports of his having been aeen came in from several states. Hall and Mrs. Heady are charged with murder by the state in St. Joseph and with kidnapping in Kanaas Oity, U. S. District At¬ torney Edward Scheufler at Kan¬ sas City said, however, he is still considering filing federal charges of kidnappinfg against the pair and would make his decision known Monday. Jackson CV>unty Kansas C^ity Sheriff Arvid Owsley admitted reports that feeling in Kansas Oity against Hail and Mrs. Heady is "vicious." Owsley said Hall will be locked into a solitary confinement cell once he arrives because "We can't put h^m in with the other prlson- era-rthey've already said they would kill him If they did." Officiala in St. Louis said the delay in transfer was not prompt¬ ed by fear of mob violence, al¬ though crowds of more than a hundred have gathered /or the past two days at the brick, six- story city jail. Ai;ting Police Chief Capt. Leon¬ ard Murphy said "I have noticed no unfavorable public reaction in the kidnapping case." Into Trieste Threatens Force To Thwart Plan To Give Italians Disputed Territory BELGRADE, Yugoslavia (IP)— Presidert Tito rushed troops and Unks into the Yugoslav-held area of Trieste yesterday and proposed a new compromise for splitting the territory with Italy. Tito said if the United States and Britain ignore his new and final plan for settling the dispute with Italy over the free territory af "Trieste that "there will be no ¦ peace In this part of Europe." Flat Rejection Tito aaid Yugoslavia flatly re¬ jects the Anglo-American pian an¬ nounced Thursday giving control of Zone A and the port city of Trieste to Italy and leaving Zone B under Yugoslav control. His new plan proposed that Italy be given control of only the city of Trieste, while Yugoslavia ntrol the remainder of the 285- square-miie free territory. Change in Stand The Yugoslav president previ¬ ously had demanded the city of Trieste be internationalized. Tito said that army units had moved into Zone B and said the United Nations charter gives Yugoslavia the right to "usr force of arms" to protect peace. He said that Yugoslavia would consider the entrance of Italian troops into Zone A under the Anglo-American plan to be "an act of aggression." Threatens West Tito said that if his new plan were not considered Yugoslavia might spurn Western aid and end its friendship with tho Wcsl. In Trieste observers in Zone A said that American and Briti.sh tanks took up guard s'.alioiia on key roads leading from Zone B. They said three Yugcslav armored divisions had been moved into the area. Observers in Belgrade said they believed that Yugoslav troops also would be moved to position.? along the length of thc Italian border. Tito, in a speech at Leskovak, toid Yugoslavs to cease their vio¬ lent demonstrations against the Anglo-American decision. Embassies Damaged Crowds of demonstrators Thurs¬ day damaged the American, Brit¬ ish and Itaiian embasics in Bel¬ grade and other Western installa¬ tions throughout Yugoslavia. Crowds moved into the streets of Belgrade again Saturday, but police had them under control. Travellers arriving in Belgrade said that horse drawn artillery was moving over the Yugoslav frontier with Trieste at the inter¬ national crossing point of Sezana. Crisis Intensifies They said that trainloads of troops had moved out of Ljubljana and that tanks were moving down roads near Postojna. This would be the natural route for Dalma¬ tian and Slovene garrisons to take. In Rome, Italian Premier Giu¬ seppe Pella conferred with the British and America^ ambassa¬ dors over the intensifying crisis. NEW ORDER WILL CLEAR U.S. NEWS CHANNELS HARRISBURG (IP)—Mrs. Oveta Chilp Hobby said a new execu¬ tive order soon may be Isaued dealing with the channeling of news in the federal government. The attractive U. S. Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare says the new order will rescind a aimilar regulation of the pre- viouua sidmlnistration which ahe describes aa "too largely drawn and loosely a(}minl9tered." y Sf. Louis Taxi Driver Tells Story Of Kidnap-Killer's Spending Spree ST. LOUIS, Mo. (IP>—A St. Louis cab driver told how he chauf¬ feured kidnapper CJarl Austin Hall on a wild spending spree, became suspicious of him an<i gave police information that led to Hall's cap¬ ture. Hall, confessed to master-mind¬ ing the kidnapping of six-year- old Bobby Greanlaaae for $800,000 ransom. Bobby'a battered and bul¬ let-ridden l>ody was found Wed¬ nesday buried In the yard of Hall's acc<MnplIce, Mra. Bonnie Heady. John Haver, the taxi-driver, aaid he picked up Hall Monday afternoon and introduced him to proatitute Sandra O'Day when Hall aaid he "wanted a woman." Big 'Hpper Haver said they viaited a few bars before he drove the couple to a motel. He aaid Hall handed him $18 change from a $20 bill at one bar. "I knew then I had a good- time Charley," he said.
