Farmers Share
Of Dollar Less

WASHINGTON,-lPD-The far
mer's share of the average dollar
consumers spent for farm foods
was about 49 cents in June and
July, the lowest for any month
this year, the Agriculture Depart
ment reported today. ti
The department said prices re-
ceived by farmers for food pro-
ducts in July were almost five
percent below the record reached
in February this year but the
retail price remained substantial
ly the same.
Thus, the department com
mented, practically all of the
decrease in farm prices had been
absorbed by increases in market
ing charges.
In January this year the Farm
er's share of the consumers dol
lar spent for farm foods was SO
cents. This went up to 81 cents
for February, March and April.
It moved back down to so cents
In May. In June 1850 it was 46
cents.

not been drawn up as yet by So

that the Mayor must make an

Further, it was pointed out that
Solicitor Sidener has stated that
it is fully proper to hire Curl
on an emergency" basis although
some quarters questioned the le-
gality of such a move.
One councilman stated that

One allied unit Immediately
counter attacked behind the blaz-
ing guns of United Nations tanks
Attacking Chinese and north
Koreans did not hit the main
allied line nor did they threaten
it.
But the Red movement had all
the earmarks of a prelude to a
general offensive.
Communist infantrymen showed
a new aggressiveness in strikes
against allied outposts and pa
trois. 1t appeared they wanted to
occupy the wide belt of no-man's
land that has separated opposing
forces in the west for months
The Red movement encircled
one American company Thursday
and two other U. N. outpostsI Fri
day. The ensuing fights proved
costly to the Reds.
An allied divisional officer es-
tinated the communists suffered
1000 casualties, including 400
killed, in the three fights.
A. Women nurses apparently ac-
companied some of the attacking
communist outposts. The sound
of women gcrying on the battle
field was reported by one Amer
lean soldier. He told of. seeing
two women treating the wounds
of a dozen Chinese, crying as
they worked.
The Reds did not use tanks in
their encircling attacks on allied
outposts Friday, although they
were rumored to have SO to 100
behind the lines in this sector.
Screaming Chinese infantrymen
swarmed around the units in the
Imjin River sector west and
northwest of Yonchon before
dawn. One attack was preceded
by an artillery barrage, The other
was made under a smoke screen.
Both allied outfits fought free.
Tanks came up to support one
allied group and it promptly
attack of its own to regain a
hill due west of Chorwon, II
miles north of the 38th parallel.
Both actions followed, on a
smaller scale, the pattern of a
Red attack on an American COM
pany Thusday.
The Chinese opened the assault
with The damnedest artillery
and morton barrage. it turned
the place black with shell era

KOREA PEACE REMOTE

communist notes swirled today
in the brimming cauldron of vast
ed words that Left peace In Ko-
rea as remote as ever.
Sharp fighting flashes again on
the explosive western front while
the Kaesong armistice talks re-
manned suspended for the 18th
straight day.
Two allied outposts fought their
way out of chinese Reds traps
northwest of Chorwon.
The main United Nations line
braced for an expected commtn-
ist offensive.
The new Red notes rejected
the latest allied denials of respon-
sibility for neutrality zone viola
tions at Kaesong. Korea. There
was no Red answer to Gen. Mat
thew B. Ridgway's insistence on
selection of a new truce site.
Red China's Peiping radio
broadcast the two new messages
from north Korea 1t. Gen Nan I,
senior Red delegate, to Vice Adm.
c. Turner Joy top u. N. negoti-
ator.
Both notes rejected joys three
denials Tuesday of Red charges
as completely unsatisfactory"
One note brushed aside joys
insistence that no allied plane
dropped a flare inside the Kae-
song neutral zone the night of
Aug. 90.
Your sides grave responsible
ty for these incidents can by no
means be turned aside by your
message which disregards the
facts and denies everything"
Nam said.
Moreover, your side must also
accept the heavy responsibility
for the fact that from Aug. 29 up
to the present your military air
craft have persisted in unscrupu-
lous and incessant penetrations
over the Kaesong neutral zone.
Mans second note rejected
Joys denial of Red charges that
south Korean troops killed Red
military police In the neutral
zone on Aug. 10 and Aug. 30.
Said Nam today:
mo denials OF facts can free
your side from the serious respon-
sihility that you must bear for
these two incidents. Our side has
adequate witnesses and material
evidence TO confirm the inescap-
able responsibility of your side"
Both Ridgway and Joy repeat
edly have told the Reds THAT
thorough Investigations disproye
the charges.
Peiping radio also hashed over
another allegation that the IL NJ
command has not published the
full texts of Red statements on
the alleged Kaesong incidents.
General Ridgway's public infor-
nation office said its records
show every communication of the
Reds has been released.
