Note Sending In
Arrnistice Talks
Comes To A Halt

TOKYO, SEPT. 5-aM-For
the first time in days no notes
were exchanged today between
the United Nations command and
Communists on the suspended Ko-
rean war cease-fire talks.
Even the Red radios, usually
loaded with accusations and de-
nunciations of the allies, were
comparatively quiet.
It was believed Gen. Matthew
B. RidgWay, U. N. commander,
had completed q message he is
due to send top Red commanders.
1t will reply to north Korean
Premier Kim II Sung and Chin
ese Gen. Peng Teh-Huai. Sunday
they demanded Ridgeway either
stop 'instigating provocations" in
the Kaesong neutral zone of Ko-
rea, where the negotiations were
held, or call them off.
There was no hint what Ridg-
way would say.
Rumors persisted the u. NJ.
commander might propose the
conferences be resumed at a new
location. These recurrent stories
say he would propose an incident
proof site. Official efforts have
failed to squelch the persistent
rumOrS.
Ridgway originally proposed
truce talks be held on the Danish
hospital ship Jutlandia off besieg-
ed Wonsan on the Korean east
coast. The Reds suggested Kae-
song, in territory they hold in
south Korea
Every break in truce negoti.
ations has resulted from an Incl.
dent-real or manufactured. The
Reds broke off talks Aug. %
charged a u. N. plane bombed
the Kaesong armistice site. The
u. N. said the Reds manufactured
the incident. The Communists
subsequently have charged numer
Gus other violations. The allie.
have rejected every complaint
Ridgway's reply to Kim AM
Peng presumably was being clear
ed by the joints chiefs Of stat
in Washington.
It was not announced when
was to be delivered.

to the top of bloody ridge In
east Korea today. They were
locked In bitter battles for
three other heights.
Second Division troops drove
through heavy Red resistance and
captured the hill mass north of
Yanggu. Then they pressed for
ward to assault another height
just to the north. Reds, dug Sc
curely into crags and ridges,
checked the American drive.
In the same sector other sec
ond division soldiers were locked
in a heavy day-long fight with
communists atop two towering
crests. The Americans have been
trying to knock the Reds off
these crests for a week. The COM
munists have withstood daily in
fantry assaults and continuous
artillery bombardment.
The second divisions action, in
the center of a limited United
Nations offensive, was the only
significant engagement on the
front Wednesday. Yanggu, at the
eastern end of Eawchow Reser-
voir, is seven miles north of the
18th parallel. Censors would not
permit correspondents to say how
much farther north the battle line
is.

Protect Children
Policeman Warns

the death knelI for YOUR childr
This warning was issued today
by London Police Chief German
Clark in reminding parents that
their teachings may mean the
difference between life or death
for some youngster.
AT no other time Of the year."
he said. "are young children more
vulnerable to the dangers of the
street than at this time when play
activity and the return to school
go hand-in-hand in exposing the
child to street traffic.
For his own sake the child must
be taught safety but even then
the motorist must also realize
that a child Is a creature of
whims and must prepare for the
forgetfulness and carelessness of
imrnaturity"
Chief Clark outlined the fol-
lowing tips for parents:
ID Do not allow your children
to play in the street.
~ Insist that the child cross
the street only at intersections
when no cars are coming.
81 Do not allow the child IL
ride a bicycle in traffic until he
or she has demonstrated to youl
satisfaction that he or she has
the necessary skill.
t4l Impress upon him or hel
the fact that bicycle rinding il
subject to the same rules of sa
fety and courtesy that actual dri
wing Is.
(5) Confine his or her pla,
with tricycles, skates, scooter
and wagons to the sidewalk-anC
well away from alleys and drive
ways.
IF parents will emphasiz
these points they will MATERIAL,
reduce the possibility that the,
may some day suffer the heart
break of seeing their child hllet
