Truce Talks Come Closer Disagreement
Reds Proposal Comes Closer on Buffer Zone; Two Big Differences

MUNSAN, Korea, Oct. 31-iR- Red truce negotiators offered to- day to create a buffer zone along their version of the present battle line in Korea.
 They called is their Hast and best approval"
 The surprise Red offer approached demands of the United Nations command, It brought the two sides closer together than they ever have been on the question.
 Hopes scared in this truce camp. But LIN. command spokesman said there were two important differences between the new Red offer and the Allied proposal:
 l. The Reds want to keep Kaesong. former truce talks site. The Allies want to take it over.
 2. The Communist version of the battle line is two or three miles south of where the Allies place it.
 These differences were pointed out by Col. Andrew J. Kinney. chief LIN. liaison officer.
 Kinney said there were certain other things the JUN. negotiations could not accept immediately.
 But he added, the Communist offer brought the buffer zone question nearer to solution than at any time since truce talks first started July 10.
 Red negotiators submitted their plan unexpectedly near the close of Wednesdays meeting of truce sub- committees in a rain-soaked tent 1t Panmunjom. The plan was out lined on map.
 Three times, Kinney said, the Red delegates said this was their last and best proposal" "This makes us very suspicious" !" Kinney said.
 V Nevertheless, Kinney said, the new Red proposal lis the biggest step made on the zone question"

 As talk of another Truman-Bark- ley ticket continued, despite rumb- lings of Southern revolt, the party's National Committee gathered to ratify President Truman's choice of Frank E. Mckinney, an Indian apoiis banker, to succeed the resign ing William M. Boyle, Jr. The job pays $35,000 year.
 The meeting was set for II am.
 Mckinney arrived late yester- day by plane and went immediately to party headquarters for a private conference with Boyle.

BULL MOOSE IN WEARY DEATH BATTLE AS WOLF RING WAITS; EWS MEN ATTEMPT RESCUE

FAIRBANKS, Alaska, Oct. 31-+R Two huge bull moose locked in mortal combat before an audience of hungry wolves were the object of an intensive air-rescue operation by agents of the US. Fish and Wild life Service today.
 The two bull moose were locked horn-to horn in a remote area near the banks of the Panama river 20 miles south of here. Agents said they apparently en- gagged in a battle for supremacy of herd of COW moose, their horns locked and they were unable to pull free.
 Wildlife Agent Charles Gray dis covered the animals Monday while flying game patrol
 He swooped low in his plane and found the moose trapped head-to- head. One was lying on the ground and appeared to be either seriously injured or dead; the other was standing and making desperate ef- forts to pull free.
 Gray said a wolf was lurking in the brush nearby and the area around the two animals was cov- cred with wolf tracks. The wolves apparently were waiting until both animals were nearly dead before attacking.
 Ray Woolford, chief Fish and Wildlife Agent here, flew over the animals in light observation plane yesterday. One moose was still struggling to get free.
 Woolford said the death battle had attracted not only a pack of wolves, but large flights of black ravens which were waiting in trees for the animals to die. and one huge grizzly bear which he saw approaching from three miles away.
 The Fish and Wildlife agents. de- termined to save both moose if pos sible loaded a cross-cut saw in the plane and attempted to make a landing near the animals. However, they were unable to land the plane in the willows and wooded area Foivd the two moose, Another at tempt was to be made today.
 The agents planned to saw off the horns of one of the moose and free him. They said the moose that is still standing ap- peared to be driven wild by the scent of the wolves, so the job is expected to be dangerous.
 Meanwhile, Fish and Wildlife planes with armed hunters aboard patrolled the area to shoot wolves that approached too close. We may even have to shoot that grizzly" Woolford said. When he gets to those moose, he won't wait like the wolves and ravens" Agents said the two bulls appar- ently were fighting for the herd of cows which now has wandered sev- eral miles away.
 ''The bulls were fighting for those ladies but when they got in trouble the tickle women walked right off i and left them," Gray said.

their only fault in my mind is that
they always want to be included

do. He's going to have a furlougn
soon and at the time it will be al
most a year since we've seen each
other. I'd hoped we could take a
vacation somewhere by ourselves
But the hopes were Dashed against
realities today when his mother
asked me Where shall we all 60
for our vacation when Johns

any such idea that we'd all go to-

The one very hard lesson for a
mother to learn is that her son S
wife must alone be given the
greater part Of his time. There
fore, / think 1t would be fair for
you to take three-quarter's of his
furlough with him alone but share
at least one-quarter with his
mother-part of this when he ar
rives and again before he goes.
Remember, that he will certainly
want to spend some time with his
