u II. A.sosia,.d prsss

SEOUL, Korea, May 1.-THE
Russian command In North Ko-
|rea said today 1t wanted to send
q group to Seoul this week, pre-
sumably to arrange for resuming
negotiations for q united pro-
visional Korean government.
Notification was made through the
American haison oficer. at Soviet
headquarters In Pyongyang (Heijo)
as Washington announced that Rus
sia and the United States had agreed
to the resumption after 4 years
deadlock.
1t. Gen. John r., Hodge. Ameri-
can military commander in South
Korea. refused to say whether the
meeting would begin May 30, date
originally proposed by Secretary Of
State Marshall to Foreign Minister
Molotov.
Instructions Awaited.
Gen. Hodge told an interviewer
he had not yet received Gen. Mar
shall's instructions. He observed
that Gen. Marshall's latest note to
Mr.. Molotov did not specify date,
merely using the word immediate. +"
Mr.. Molotov in his note to Gen.
Marshall assured him all major Kor-
can Democratic Parties and social
groups would be consulted by the
joint Soviet-American commission
when 1t met.
Last years commission sessions
broke up when the Russians re-
fused to consult with any Korean
party which had criticized the 1945
Moscow agreement setting up a
temporary American and Russian
trusteeship. Only Korean Com
munists had never criticized 1t.
American authorities who refused
to be quoted by name said the
Russians were promising North
Koreans that the commission would
resume deliberations May 20. These
sources said they believed the Rus
slams asking to come to Seoul this
week were an arrangements echelon.

members of the American delega-
ton would be announced shortly.

and adviser to Gen. Hodge, is the
only member of the original delega-
ton still In Korea.

Department from the Federal Re-
serve Board, Is scheduled to return

Maj. Gen. A. v. Arnold after the
sessions broke up last year. It Is
understood the Soviet delegation
has had similar turnover.

(DEPARTMENT-WONDER
QUESTIONS
WHY A CAT FALLS
ON IT'S FEET
ON ITS FEET

A cat which falls or springs
f1om a height, great or small
generally mana ges to fall on It's
feet. This wonderful feat is made
possible by the way the muscles
of the cat are arranged and the
ouickness of the cats instinct for
bringing them into play. No mat
ter how cat is dropped, it is
usually able to turn over in the
air and so twist itself that its feet
come in contact with the ground.
Scientists say that if men could
master the secret of the cat, they
also would be able to alight on
their feet when falling. There is
no reason why our muscles should
not be as effective as the cats.
Many of us have seen men dive
head foremost from trapeze,
turn somersaults in the air, and
land safely. Others vault over the
backs of horses, whirling round in
midair as they 60, yet dropping
safely on their feet.
The secret seems to be the
quick working of the mind; at any
rate, scientists tell us that the
ordinary man would have power
to do as the cat does if he made
up his mind quickly enough.
The ability of the cat to alight
feet first depends on the healthy
condition Of it's balancing sense,
the sense governed by the six lit
tie fluid-bearing canals, three ir
each ear, which enable us to bal
ance ourselves. However, if they
played any special part in the
wonderful feat of the cat, we
should expect to find these bal
ancing canals very highly devel
oped; but they are not. They dc
not appear to be so perfect in the
cat as in man, and neither mar
nor cat has them so beautifully
organized as the bird. We canno
say that there is any particular
quality in the cats balancing
sense alone to account for its ex
ceptional ability. There must be
something else.
The power seems to arise from
ages and ages of need to exercise
this special art. Nature has en-
| abled the cat to make special use
