The concession was part of a new U. N. eight-point plan for solving the bitter dispute over policing an armistice. While Allied trace negotiators abandoned their demand for unre stricted behind-the-lines inspec tions, they insisted that the checks be made by joint Allied-Red teams. Reject Allied Proposal The Reds reacted immediately— and unfavorably—to the Allied pro posal, said a U.N. spokesman, Lt. Col. Howard Levie. Members of the A&M Singing Cadets, this quartet will be featured during concerts of the groups current tour which takes them all the way to Monterrey, Mexico. Left to right, Harold Hughes, Ken Wiggins, Dale Walston, and Tommy Savage. Rush Gives Prizes, Sign Quality Upped “The football game signs this year were a little better than last year’s.

Levie said the Communist dele gates repeated their old argument that the use of joint inspection teams would interfere with the internal affairs of the North Ko rean people. Agree For First Time They agreed for the first time to take up point by point the pro grams each side has presented for supervising an armistice.

The Republic of Korea (ROK) troops were closing in on an esti mated 2,000 guerrillas in the Mount Chiri area when 300 men, 200 of them anned, hit the ROKs from the rear. A government spokesman Said the action occurred about noon Wednesday and continued Thurs day. Since the South Korean drive on the guerrilla bands started Dec. 1, the ROKs have reported 168 Reds killed and 639 captured. A spokes man said another 220 surrendered.

Especially such a thing as cigarette mildness! A “quick puff” and a “single sniff” left him hungry for facts. Smokers everywhere have tried the same tests and discovered the one true test of cigarette mildness! It’s the sensible test... the 30-Day Camel Mildness Test, which simply asks you to try Camels as your steady smoke, on a day-after-day, pack-after-pack basis. No snap judgments.
