Prime Minister Don Btephen Sen anayake, 67, “the father of the Ceylonese nation,” died today of brain injuries suffered yesterday in a fall from a bolting horse. Mr. Senanayake staunchly pro-British and bitterly anti communist—was the first and only prime minister of the baby dominion which won independent status in the British Common wealth four years ago. From London, Queen Elizabeth K-sent a message to the Ceylon government praising the premier’s “long and devoted service'to Ceylon. Prime Minister Churchill said “the Commonwealth is poorer without him and the'wise counsel he always gave us.” Imprisoned in 1915. Former Prime Minister Clement Attlee praised him as a wise statesman who did “great service to his country.” A stocky, white - mustached sports lover, Mr. Senanayake had a simple, friendly manner which won him wide popularity. He was imprisoned by Ceylon’s British rulers in 1915 as a dangerous na tionalist, but since independence in 1948 became a firm friend of Britain.

Garrett, general chairman of the Metropolitan Area Fund Campaign. Mr. Garrett pointed out that with only 10 days remaining in the drive schedule, only 55 per cent of the $1,385,300 goal has been collected, “despite the ex cellent accomplishment of some of the smaller divisions of the campaign.” "At this stage of the campaign we are forced to recognize that our chief cause for anxiety is the dangerous lag in the General Busi ness Division—second largest in the campaign,” he said. 51.39 Per Cent Response. This division last week had reported a total response amount ing to 51.39 per cent of the $382,- 000 quota. “Reluctantly we are forced to the conclusion that the lagging progress in many business places has its roots in what appears to be a rather determined resistance to the Red Cross appeal,” Mr. Garrett went on. “Our hard-working volunteer leaders find that without the ac tive co-operation of the heads of tons and key people, they haven't a chance of obtaining the generous response so vital to the success of the 1952 Red Cross drive.” Appealing for co-operation from the heads of business firms, .-he said there never had been more need for united and generous sup port of Red Cross services. Chapters Expanded. "Every chapter in this area is now expanded to practically a wartime basis,” he said. “With the largest concentration of mili tary establishments and hospitals of any community in the Nation. Red Cross services here must carry an exceptionally heavy load. We need our goal.” Although the Government Unit so far has only 48.79 per cent of its $646,500 quota, Mr. Garrett said he believed the campaign among Federal and District em ployes was gaining momentum and would be successful. The Tuesday luncheon report meeting in the United States Chamber of Commerce Building will be designated “General Busi ness Day” in the, campaign, Hildegarde, the singer, will Join the campaigners as a head table guest at the 12:30 meeting.

Signs are Increasing that Mos cow would like to end distribution of the State Department’s maga zine Aiherika in the Soviet Union, and has started pressure to cause it to fold up. Amerika is a richly illustrated, slick- paper monthly which under takes to tell the Russians in their own language about the Ameri can way of life, mostly steering clear of politics. It is about the one remaining American link with the Soviet man in the street, aside from the Voice of America radio which Moscow has long been try ing to silence by Jamming. Kremlin Gave Approval. The Kremlin agreed in 1945 to let the magazine circulate in the Soviet Union, when W. Averell Harriman was United States Am bassador. Since then distribution of the publication, which Moscow con trols, was sharply cut. Now cen sorship of the magazine’s con tents has been tightened. For the first time, entire articles have been turned down as “not objec tive” and have had to be omitted. The publication meantime is the target of scattered press cri ticism to the effebt that it pre sents a distorted and idealized picture of life in this country, without mention of slums and other unfavorable features. Repeated requests made by the American Embassy in Moscow for clrcultion audits have gotten no where. .The Foreign Office has said the magazine is offered for sale in 70 cities but has furnished no breakdown. Officials are con vinced the Soviet purpose is to wear down American patience and cause the State Department to call off the whole enterprise. Say Taxpayers Get Value. The United States response to the challenge is renewed deter mination to require the Kremlin to live up to its 1945 agreement. Congress has just been asked for a new $218,416 appropriation to meet the expense of publishing Amerika for the next 12 months. Copies are sold over Russian newsstands, so it is figured the net cost to the United States tax payer will be $120,216 for the year. Is the taxpayer getting his Allied Truce Agents Hunting for 'Treasure;' In Red POW Proposal •y Km Associated Press MUNSAN, Sunday, Mar. 23. Puzzled but patient Allied nego tiators today gave another careful look to the newest Communist plan on prisoner exchange in hopes of finding a solution to the truce-blocking issue. The Reds insisted their two sentence proposal of Friday con tained something new and em bodied a solution to the exhaust ing deadlock. Allied negotiators had another chance to quetsion them in to day’s talks at Panmunjom. Diligent searching earlier had failed to unearth any switch in the old Communist demand for forced repatriation of all prison ers of the Korean war. ‘Tine Treasure Hunt.” A U. N. command spokesman Saturday night called it “almost a ludicrous situation.” „ “We have a fine treasure hunt going on,” the spokesman said. “The Communists keep saying there’s a treasure in their pro posal. We say we’ve looked and can’t find it. They say look again —it is there. “We have yet to find it. That is why we are being much slower to give another categorical re jection. It is the job of the staff officers to ferret out that some thing new.” Proposal’s Exact Words. The proposal’s exact wording is: "After the armistice agreement is signed and becomes effective, the Korean People’s Army and the Chinese People’s Volunteers shall release and repatriate all of the 11,559 prisoners of war in their custody, and the United Na tions Command shall release and repatriate all of the 132,474 pris oners of war in its custody. “The lists of the names of the prisoners of war stated above shall be finally checked by the staff of ficers of both sides.” The figures are the number of names carried on the respective prisoner of war lists traded De cember 18. This proposal carried a broad hint by the Reds that they were willing to wipe off the books many thousands of men on both sides whose names failed to appear on the December list. Those "missing” include: Some 53,000 South Korean troops whom the Communists once said they held but now say were "released at the front,” and 44,000 persons the Allies once carried as POWs but most of whom the U. N. now says have ben reclassified as In terned civilians. Other staff officers continued their work of safeguards for a Korean truce. ROW!

Does the publi cation really reach the Russians? Does it promote understanding of of the United States? The State Department contends the answer is yes to all the questions. "Amerika is an interesting mag azine which many Americans would enjoy reading themselves,” Thomas P. Whitney, Associated Press corresponent, reports from Moscow. Say Circulation Falls. Amerika is printed in New York and shipped to Russia. Each issue of 50,000 copies presumably was sold out entirely until the Soviet distribution agency Soyuzpechat two years ago unexpectedly served notice that sales had fallen off to 25,000 copies or less. Since tljen the circulation has hovered around this figure, although one month it sank below 18,000. Returns are distributed among Russian readers in other countries.''' The Russian pay five rubles a copy. Distribution is handled by an official Russian agency. Incon clusive tests have indicated that each copy might have on the aver age between 18 and 30 readers. One of the articles rejected by the Soviet censorship was by Prof. C. Wright Mills of Columbia Uni versity, and had appeared in the New York Times. It compared how opinion is formed in this country with totalitarian methods used in Nazi Germany. The censors pre sumably thought the article and accompanying cartoons of Nazi Propaganda' Minister Goebbels formed too close a parallel to the Soviet situation. ‘l-Hlf £«uTOfe StVUL/ \ >* * when there’s a NURSERY in your PLANS enjoy the Nursery Corner’s \ seasoned aid "|t £ 3.
