Dulles conferred Saturday with New Zealand ambassador Leslie Knox Munro. to push forward plans for a conference of proposed al- liances members as quickly as pos- sible. Munro is New Zealand‘s deputy member of a three-power southwest Pacific alliance which presumably will be one of the cor- nerstones of the proected new coalition. The alliance is composed of the United States. Australia and New Zealand.

The RCMP detailed the light a.ir- craft to search surrounding woods for cabins or shacks where Brown may have sought refuge from the posses which set out shortly after Earl Thompson. 64, was shot in the face with a rifle and killed.

The RCMP said Sunday they had uncovered no new trails but hoped the plane spotter might pick out traces which could be followed up by police dogs.

Brown is said to have been drink- ing heavily the day the shootings took place.

90-MINUTE MEET

The security council meeting at the White House under President Eisenhower's chairmanship lasted 90 minutes. It brought together the president, Dulles. Defence Secre- tary Charles Wilson and other high administration officials for a new look at the lndo-China crisis in the light of the fall of Dien Bien Phu.

There appeared to be increasing hope that instead of shattering

ture of the Viet Nam fortress would harden the resolve to stand firm against Red pressures.

U. S. Creates New Division Of lniemal Security

WASHINGTON (AP)—The White House announced Sunday the crea- tion of is new division of internal security in the justice department, designed to speed the prosecution of spies and other subversive ele- ments.

President Eisenhower today will nominate William F. Tompkins of Maplewood. N.J., as an assistant attorney-general in charge of the new unit. which presumably will handle all cases dealing with es- pionage, treason. sabotage, infil- tration of defence plants. loyalty of federal employees. and kindred matters.

Officials said the new division will be carved out of the present criminal division. headed by assis- tant attorney-general Warren 01- ney Ill. The effect will be. they said. in "centralize and fix respon- sibility" in the department for the handling of subversive activities. The new division will take over prosecution of cases under the Smith Act. which makes it a crime to conspire to teach and ad- vocate the overthrow of the gov- (Continued on Page 2 col. 4)

These sources said spontan- eous demonstrations of students or Falangists are possible, but would be frowned on by the government.

ST. JOHN'S. Nfld. (CP)—-Com- modore Gabriel Aguirre of the Spanish fishing fleet reported Sat- urday his men observed both "un- seamanlike" uniforms and women crew members aboard two Soviet trawler-s on the Grand banks.

Aguirre did not elaborate on his description of the uniforms but said one of his captains had snap- ped photographs of the two Rus- sian ships and had turned the pic- tures over to "certain authorities" here.

He did not identify the "certain authorities.“ The RCMP said it knew nothing of any pictures. The trawlers, the Odessa and the Sevastopol, have been fishing on .the Grand banks for several weeks and there has been speculation whether their primary interest lies in fishing. e Russian skpipere have made no known contact with other ships in the heavily-travelled banks area.

The Spaniards were the first to

report the presence of the Soviet ships and both the RCAF and U. 5. Air Force since have shown keen interest in them.

SHY FROM LAND

The trawiera are both of 1.670 tons and are relatively new. Their last port of call before reaching the Grand banks is not known nor is the route by which they got there.

Nearly every skipper who has nhscrved the Russians at a dill- tance since their arrival has brought back reports that they ap- parently were peacefully fishing.

There is nothing in international law to prevent the Soviets from fishing on the Grand banks. The trawiers of many nations gather there annually to fill their holds and call from time to time at St. John's for provisions or equip- mcnt.

The Soviet vessels have re- mained at a considerable distance from land.

Chinese settlement dictated virtu- ally on Communist terms. KOREA TALKS DELAYED

As the nine delegations prepared for a second session today on the Indo-China phase of the Geneva conference, agreement was reach- ed between East and West to post- pone further talks on Korea.

Foreign Secretary Eden of Brit- ain and Soviet Foreign Minister Molotov reached agreemcnt with Prince Wan Waithayakon of Thail- snd—\vho shares the conference chairmanship with them—that no meeting of the 19-nation group considering a Korean settlement be held today.

If discussions on the Korean problem resume later in the week, the West may put forth a. com- promise plan calling for ail-Kor- can elections under United Nations supervision.

This would aim at reconciling the view of South Korea that elec- tions should be held only in the Communist.-dominated North with the North Korean view that elec- tions for the whole country should be run by a joint commission from both North and South.

Eden and Molotov will meet be- fore today's session to decide on

After George Ramsdell failed to return the night of April 18. a ship and air search was undertaken by the Coast Guard without success.

Saturday morning the coast guard at Portsmouth sent out a 40-foot utility boat from the lite- boat station to assist a. fisherman reported disabled about four miles oi‘! shore. Arriving at the scene they found the fisherman towing the missing sloop Klcapoo.

Ramsdcli was ru.shed to shore and to the hospital where doctors said he was suffering from mal- nutrition. They said Ramsdell had nothing to eat but a. box of crack- ers while he drifted in the relis- swept sea.

A spokesman said the five ships" would rcfucl and take aboard pro-' visions at Halifax and then return in the spot 70 miles off Yarmouih. N.S.. to begin the exhaustive hunt for traces of the plane.

NI'W YORK. (AP——-A refuges aircraft expert said Saturday de- signs for the famed MIG-la jet fighter were lost to. the West in 1016 when American military auth- orities rsfused to grant asylum to the Jet's German designer.

The swift, deadly Mia-lb was one of the most effective weapons used by the Communists in Korea. The United states finally obtained

its secrets last year by paying $100,000 to a dafsoting North Kor- ean pilot.

Bokolow tied with Guenther and a German girl to West Germany in an attempt to surrender in ms but he was accused by American military police of being a spy.

After three days of questioning by American and British officials. he said he and the girl were per- mitted to remain in the American sector. But he said he was con- vinced that Guenther was returned to the Russians.

However, "the first let we pro- duced exploded during the nrst experiment." and Sokolow was or- dered to try to enlist Gucnther. Bokoiow said he found the de- signer working "as a simple auto mechanic" in the French sone.
