offlcial count had yet been made on
either side.
BY the time reached Changkufeng
the Japanese had cleared all bodies
from the field. but carpenters were
seen making wooden receptacles for
the ashes of the Japanese dead. Fu-
neral pyres still were smoldering.
If both sides were not glad to cease
firing, the impression was gained today
Of universal atmosphere of relaxa-
ton and relief from the constant
specter Of death and the dangers Of
war.
Soviet Trucks Brought Up.
Prom our vantage point the lieuten-
ant general pointed out long lines Of
Soviet trucks coming up in clouds of
dust. These clouds apparently we're
made deliberately in an effort to con-
ceal the trucks movements which
probably were to haul supplies back
from the front.
Soviet boats were pushing across
Long Lake east Of Changkufeng, and
Soviet soldiers were cheerfully towing
smashed tanks back from mo mans
land"
On the Japanese side there was an
even more pronounced holiday spirit.
Doughboys emerging from dugouts
honeycombing the hills to their crests
were drying white undershirts in the
nearby brush and bathing in the sun
In the Tumen River.
The soldiers were laughing heartily,
and few were trying to ride Korean
donkey over Changkufeng's SCARED
slope.
The general pointed out three tanks
still behind the japanese advance lines
east of Changkufeng which he said
were Soviet. He alleged the Russians
had hauled back 70 others Thursday
night after the order to cease firing at
noon Friday became known.
He pointed out a spot where he said
three Soviet planes were shot down.

said.

Commanders of Soviet and

Memorandum.
BY the Associated Press.

TOXIC. Aug. 13.-The war office
announced today that Soviet Russian
and japanese military representative
had signed a memorandum pledging
themselves to avoid further incidents
over the disputed area on the Siberian
Korean frontier.
A communique said both sides had
retired approximately 80 yards from
the crest of Changkufeng Hill, which
puts the hill between them and ends
the condition in which the troops ac-
tually were facing each other
The agreement guaranteed that both
sides would avoid actions likely to
break the truce
Reports on the situation, including
the positions of troops and all other
details, were communicated to the two
government, the communique said,
adding that a map marking troop
positions at the time of the truce
probably would be signed today.
The war Office also said commanders
Of both sides had conferred regarding
the removal of bodies of the casualties
from the disputed area.
An Associated Press correspondent
reported from Yuki. Korea, that he
had toured the battlefield yesterday
while officers of the two sides were
negotiating details of the settlement
on top Of Changkufeng Hill.
He was escorted by the commander
Of the Japanese Army in Northern
Korea. who said he was confident the
incidents were fully ended.
The Japanese commander estimated
casualties at 5000, or about three and
. half times greater than the jap
anese, but said neither side had yet
taken an official count. All the Jap
anese dead already had been removed
from the field.
Correspondents making the tour
gained the impression that the atmos-
phere Of fear and tension. which pre-
vlously had been apparent everywhere
along the border, had been entirely
dissipated by the truce.

NOBLE PROMISES
D. c. AIRPORT AID
Aeronautics Chairman Hits
Local Field as Worst
Seem in Major City.

Denouncing Washington Airport as
"the worst excuse for an airport he
ever has seen in . major city, Ed
ward J. Noble, chairman Of the Civil
Aeronautics Authority, has pledged
the support of the new governing
body of American aviation to a cam
paign to provide a model airport for
the National Capital.
The construction of a safe, ADEQUATE
air terminal for Washington Is q
matter of especial concern to MEM
bers of the new Air Safety Board
created to serve under the authority
Mr.. Noble pointed out, and the board
Is expected to join with the authority
In its campaign for greater safety
here.
Owns Own Airplane.
Mr.. Noble for years has owned his
own airplane and has flown to most
of the major airports in the United
States in pursuit of business and for
pleasure. On the basis of his own
personal knowledge he described
Washington Airport as the most in
adequate in the country for the serv-
ice 1t is called upon to render.
Every one realizes the necessity
for more adequate airport accommo-
dations here. even the members of
Congress" Mr.. Noble said. so far
as I can observe. the reason Congress
has not acted sooner is because of the
conflict Of ideas as to the size and
location Of the new airport"
Mr.. Noble promised to lend "every
effort to aid" in solving the local air
port problem. There should be q
thorough study made by competent
people to determine the technical
needs in laying out an airport, and
on the basis of such q survey con-
struction should be undertaken as soon
as possible, he said.
All In Agreement.
Mr.. Noble said that every member
of the authority was in agreement
as to the need for q suitable airport
in Washington, especially the mem
bers of the new Safety Board.
The adequacy of the airport to be
constructed for Washington, the
chairman believes. should not be
judged by comparison with any ex-
isting airport in the United States
or abroad. Regardless of any other
criterion, he said, Washington should
be given the finest airport it is possi-
BILE to construct. not only to uphold
the prestige of the National Capital
but to serve as q model for the Nation
and the world.
