Allies Accuse Reds
Of Delaying Talks
For Korea Peace
Munsan, Korea, Oet. 17—(/P)—
The allies declared today the Com
munists “are up to their old tricks
of delaying” renewal of Korean
truce talks.
“The Reds intend to make the
going as sticky as possible,” Gen.
Matthew B. Ridgway’s headquar
ters said in a Tokyo release.
The statement was issued a few
hours after Ridgway’s headquar
ters reported United Nations and
Communist liaison officers had
made “considerable progress” to
ward preparing for new armistice
negotiations.
Liaison Officers Meet
Liaison officers met twice Wed
nesday in Panmunjom within sigt
of allied shell explosions on a hill
side in no-man’s-land. A cloud of
black smoke and dust covered the
hill a few miles north of Panmun
jom.'
Liaison officers made “additional
progress, however slight,” U. N.
trace headquarters hei’e said in a
release.
Shortly after liaison officers ad
journed Vice Adm. C. Turner Joy,
head of the U. N. trace delegation,
flew back to Munsan from Tokyo.
Brush At Ohio
Aero Inspection
E. E. Brash, head of the aero
nautical engineering department,
recently attended the biennial in
spection of the Lewis Flight Pro
pulsion Laboratory of the National
Advisory Committee for Aeronau
tics in Cleveland, Ohio.
Brush made the trip at the re
quest of the NCAA which invites
educators and representatives of
the armed forces and aircraft in
dustry to inspect work accom
plished in the multi-million dollar
aircraft propulsion center.
There was no indication whether
Joy brought back new instractions
fi'om Ridgway, with whom he con
ferred in Tokyo.
Maj. Gen. Lawrence C. Craigie,
another members of the five-man
allied trace deelgation, remained
in Tokyo. The others had remain
ed in Munsan.
Liaison officers adjourned their
day’s sessions at Panmunjom after
arguing over the size of the neutral
zones to be set up for armistice
negotiations.
A statement from Ridgway’s
headquarters, drafted from U. N.
command radio broadcast to Ko
rea, described as “absurd” a Red
proposal to create a neutral zone
of 175 miles embracing Munsan,
Panmunjom and Kaesong. The al
lies want a 20 square mile zone.
The information bulletin said the
plan “would give the Reds ample
opportunity to find instances of
violation to break off talks when
ever it suited them.
“It is to thwart such a plan that
the U. N. command insists on a
smaller realistic neutral zone
around the three critical towns.”

“On the 3i’d of September when
I was at school, my house was
burnt. A letter from my American
pen friend I got after four years
of hard toil was also burnt. I have
not read it yet.
“I am very, very sad for that.
I cannot find the suitable words
to apologize to the pen friend.
I cannot write to him or her as I
don’t have his or her address. I
think I must thank his and apol
ogize him.”
Akira then asked for help in
locating his lost American pen pal.

U. S. 8th Army Headquarters,
Korea, Oct. 17—CP)—Allied troops
today smashed to within three
miles of Kumsong and denied the
use of that central Korean base
to the Reds.
American 24th Division infantry
men sprang a trap on an estimat
ed 800 Chinese, on the highest peak
guarding the approaches to Kum
song.
“We’re going in and clean them
out,” said Lt. Col. Albert L. Thorn
ton of Birmingham, Ala.
U. S. troops and Colombian in
fantrymen began the assault. Ar
tillery covered them from newly
captured flanking hills.
More than 40 hills have been
captured in the five-day advance
on Kumsong. Three United Na
tions divisions have advanced seven
miles along a 22-mile front. Al
lied artillery moved up to stra
tegic peaks where it could blast
Kumsong, the main Communist
bastion on the central front.
To the east, the Republic of Ko
rea (ROK) Eighth Division drove
against 2,000 to 3,000-foot ridges
in an effort to keep pace with the
central push.
In the west the American First
Cavalry Division again hit the
tough Chinese defense line north
west of Yonchon. Every yard tak
en was won with hand grenades
and bayonets.
Corps Trip Plans

“The Homecoming Committee, appointed by the Student
Council, has set a tentative schedule for the weekend activ
ities. First on the schedule is a bonfire on the campus at 6:30
Friday at which the school and the alumni are to be present.
I “Following at 7:30, a reception will be given for the

coming.
U. S. sabre jets paraded in MIG
alley for 25 minutes Wednesday
morning in full view of Red jet
bases at Antung, Manchuria. But
Red jets did not challenge the sa
bre pilots, who on Tuesday shot
down nine Russian-type MIG 15S
and damaged five.
ThP Wednesday morning -flight
of sabres was flying cover for
more than 150 U. N. fighter-bomb
ers attacking North Korean rail
ways. Seventeen Communist trains
were attacked by night raiders , in
intensified round-the-clock smashes
on rail lines.
The allies flew 1,370 sorties
Tuesday from land and sea bases.
B-29 superforts from Okinawa
rained 560 quarter-ton air-bursting
bombs on Red front line troops.
Far East air forces announced
335 U. N. planes have been shot
down by ground fire or in combat
during the Korean war. Allied
pilots reported shooting down 241
Red planes, probably destroying
89 and damaging 264—a total of
594. The figures do not include
losses of carrier-based planes or
damage inflicted by them.
New allied ground gains on, the
central front “will deny to the ene
my use of Kumsong and their sup
ply base,” said Thornton, 24th Di
vision, operations officer.
Allied Guns Ready
Big allied guns were in position
to concentrate their fire on the
city, 20 miles north of the 38th
Parallel. It was a central base
from which Reds shifted troops to
the Eastern or Western fronts to
slow those phases of the U. N.
fall offensive.
American infantrymen closed the
trap on Kumsong’s Fortress Moun
tain after U. N. officers reported
the three allied divisions on the
central front had hit the Reds’
main line of resistance.
Doughboys seized two hills to
the east of Fortress Mountain Tues
day and two on the west. Then,
Wednesday morning, they swung
around the peak from both sides
in an encircling movement.
“It’s easier to go around them
than to make a frontal assault,”
Thornton said.
Don Donathan, first chair barber in a hotel barber shop in Am
arillo, was chained to his chair when a few regular customers
grew tired of waiting for him to return from coffee. Donathan had
coffee brought to him once in the morning and once in the after
noon. The regular customers no longer have to wait, for him to
get hack from a coffee break.
