 I5 ENDED
Truce Agreement is An- nounled; Carrier Line
 Resumes Operations

CHICAGO, June 29 A pilots strike that has halted operations for 10 days on the vast United Air Lines network was ended today by truce.
 The union ordered it's 900 striking pilots to return to their posts at 3.45 P. M. EST today.
 The truce agreement was an- nounced by Thomas E. Bickers, ex- ecutive secretary of the National Mediation Board, after pre-dawn meeting with representatives of the company and the striking AFL air. line pilots association.
 His board will attempt immed- lately to mediate the dispute.
 "The main object is to get the train back on the track" Bickers said. T don't think it will take too long to reach settlement"

those instructions, but did say Ridgway would have to report back to Washington on any proposed terms for ending the fighting.
 Truman Meets Cabinet
 President Truman held meet ing with his cabinet = usual thing on Friday. Presumably, the Korean situation had high place in their discussions but the White House declined to discuss the peace out look in any way.
 Presidential Secretary Joseph Short said he is standing on what the deputy secretary of defense' told his news conference.
 Despite the general hope. some American officials were still taking a finger crossed attitude.
 Skepticism
 Some State Department officials have been skeptical of the cease- fire suggestion from the moment it was advanced last weekend by Jacob Malik, the Russian delegate to the United Nations.
 Lovett, in telling a news confer ence instructions had been sent to Ridgway, took occasion to say that he feared any relaxation by the United States would confront the nation with an appalling situation.
 Another Challenge
 He said it may be that relief from pressure in Korea, if the fighting is stopped there. may make 1t .pos- sible for the Communists to exert pressure elsewhere in the world.
 Regardless of a cease-fire in Korea, the tensions in the world add up to a dark picture, Lovett said.
 Continue Preparedness
 And, calling for continued pre- )aredness, he said the U. S. would most certainly be counting disaster the United States let the Soviet Politburo write the American De- fense program.
 Tn London informed sources said the orders went out to Ridgway after the 16 United Nations with fighting forces in Korea agreed to accept Russia's proposals for start ing truce talks.

FIGHTING IN KOREA
 IN LULU
Patrol Activity, with One Hill Action, as Cease fire
 Talk Prevails
By Associated Press

The fighting war virtually dls- appeared from the Korean front today under a mounting wave of cease-fire talk. >@
 A small, fierce fight ragged all afternoon for single hill northwest of Yonchon on the Western front. The ridge changed hands six time before Allied forces withdrew, lcav ing Communists still holding the hill
 Chinese Reds threw some small probing attacks at the center of the line
 Elsewhere ground action was con- fined to patrol activity
 United Nations patrols screening the lower half of the iron triangle" were turned back by heavy, though inaccurate fire.
 "The Chinese don't shoot unless we provoke them, one officer com mented. "They st tight until we come in gun range, then they let loose"
 The whole battlefront was like that. The U. s. 9th Army took only 108 words Friday night to cover the entire ground action in the briefest communique it has issued this year

CALL FOR ARMIsTICE

WASHINGTON, June 29 -~tR-- The United States and its UN Allies were reported today to have decided to call for an armistice in Korea. Informed officials said this decision is reflected in instructions sent to Gen. Ridgway.
 These officials said Ridgway, be- ing given the authority, might act quickly, perhaps within matter of hours, to call for meeting of repre- sentatives of his own LIN command. the South Korean command. the North Korean (Communis) com- mand, and the Chinese Armies in Korea.
 That was the formula suggested by Soviet Russia earlier this week as the way to bring an end to hos tilities in Korea. Negotiations would be on a military level under terms and conditions which presumably would be proposed by Ridgway in his initial call for a meeting.
 Instructions Sent
 The only official announcement from the government was a state- ment from Lovett. that general in structions were being sent to Ridg- way on negotiation of a cease-fire in Korea.
 In mid-afternoon. the Pentagon said the message had actually been dispatched.
 Friday afternoon in Washington is Saturday morning in Tokyo where Ridgway has his headquarters.
 Details as to the instructions were supplied by officials in a position to know but who would not be quoted by name.
 Eliminates Cease Fire
 They said the instructions auth orized Ridgway, in effect, to seek peace showdown with the Com munist command on the field of battle in Korea.
 Heretofore, most of the talk on ending the fighting in Korea has been of possible cease-fire. That amounts simply to a halt in the actual shooting.
 An armistice. in the technical sense. goes a little further. It usu- ally provides for a neutral zone. An almistice can be concluded for either a specified or an indefinite period.

Wafer Shortages Threat ened; Critical Condition
 in Forests
(By The Associated Press)

A thermometer popping sun blist- cred the Pacific Northwest again today-the fifth day of a near record June heat wave
 No relief was in sight. Water shortages were threatened in sev- eral cities.
 The weatherman predicted temp eratures today would match or top such readings as the 97 at Eugene, Salem and Roseburg, Oregon, yes- terday, or the 92 on Washington s Grays Harbor.
 As the temperatures rose the humidity fell and state officials warned of critical conditions in the forests. In Western Washing ton, all logging operations were ordered closed from midnight last night until midnight Sunday.
 The State Forester's office con- sidered similar steps for Western Oregon forests.
 Major fires in Washington and Oregon were under control, or nearly so, but forestrymen, noting the humidity was below the crit ical 30 per cent line, urged extra caution in tinder-dry woods.
 Two drownings in Oregon and one in Washington added tragic sidebar as thousands sought to escape the heat.

BRISTOL BAY STRIKE. GETS
 COMPLICATED


 DILLINGHAM;. Alaska, June 29 = R- Bristol Bays fishing industry labor dispute grew more compli- cated today.
 A statement issued in behalf of the strike committee, Bristol Bay President Cannery Workers Union (SIU-AFI)" listed these develop ments:
 The Bering Sea Fishermen's Un- ion (Ind) and the resident Cannery Workers Union (CIO) have both decided to affiliate with the Sea- farers International Union (AFL)
 The cannery workers. known as Local 46, have taken over the land and sea picketing from the fish ermen's union.
 The cannery workers voted against accepting the latest offer of the Alaska Salmon Industry. Incl | l,xot Men osi stfik k
 The approximately l,200 members of the Boring Sea Fishermen's Un- ion have been striking for union recognition in complicated juris- dictional dispute.
 The Boring Sea union split away from the Alaska Fishermen's union (also Ind.), which has a contract with the Industry. Members of the AFU have been working in the Bris- tol Bay industry.
 The Boring Sea union has kept two major canneries on the Nush- agak river closed.
 Offer Rejected
 The statement today by the can nery workers union committee said an Industry offer of a IS per cent wage increase without seasonal guarantee was rejected; then the strike was voted.
 It said an earlier offer by w. C.. Arnold of the Industry was for a 15 per cent increase in the season guarantee, hourly rates, and well fare plan. The union had demanded 25 per cent and a welfare plan. The statement said the union objected however, to a clause that the offer was contingent upon both the can nery workers and Boring Sea unions going to work immediately.
 NLRB Man Due
 Meanwhile, the NLRB's regional director at Seattle said Donald D.. Merely, an NLRB field examiner, will be sent to Alaska to work on the dispute. He is slated to fly to Anchorage Sunday at the latest. Regional Director Thomas P. Gra- ham, Jr., said McFeely will try to dispose of unfair labor practice charges filed against the Industry by the Boring Sea union. The charges are blocking an NLRB-di- rected election to determine collec- tive bargaining representation for Bristol Bay fishermen).
