Trygve Lie Declares
Most Of u. n. Favors
Truce on Present Line
Ry the Assoeioted Press

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. Sept.
2.-Secretary-G General Trygve Lie
said last night that public opinion
in most of the United Nations
would enthusiastically welcome a
Korean armistice arranged ap-
proximately on the basis of pres
ent battle lines.
In his annual report to the
u. N. General Assembly which
convenes here October IA, Mr.. Lie
said repeated disappointments in
the Korean truce negotiations
had "given rise to impatience, re-
sentiment and doubt" Most OF
these reactions would disappear,
he added, if the truce talks were
successful.
IF an arnistice should be con-
cluded in Korea on the basis OF
approximately the present battle
line," the 182-page report said
available evidence indicates that
public opinion in the great ma
jority of member states would wei
come it with enthusiasm and much
of the present anxiety and dis
illusionment would disappear"
Gross Expects Discussion.
Meanwhile, Ambassador Ernest
A. Gross, deputy United States
delegate to the u. NJ, predicted
that the Korean conflict and
truce negotiations would be one
of the topics for discussion at the
General Assembly meeting.
Speaking as a guest on the
u. N. Correspondents Association
ABC television program. Mr.
Gross said such Assembly discus
sion would not mean the transfer
of the truce talks from Panmun-
iom to New York.
Mr.. Lies report said the q. N
was almost universally regarded
as the main hope for peace in the
long run. But there is a general
tendency. he added. Ito believe
that the United Nations cannot
be considered as the sole or even
the main, instrument for the pres
ervation Of peace at present"
Progress Reported.
Analyzing world reaction to the
U. N, Mr.. Lie said there had been
notable progress toward a more
realistic appraisal Of the organi-
zation's possibilities to solve ques-
tions brought before it than was
the case in the initial years. when
its powers were frequently over
estimated.
THAT prem ature optimism
seems to have been replaced by q
more critical but not less inter-
ested attitude, and particularly by
an appreciation Of the United Ma
tions as meeting place in which
all points Of view are, or can be
represented"
Mr.. Lie disclosed the total ex-
penses Of the organization fol
1853 will be $47.756,200 as COM
pared with the 1852 figure o1
$48, ,096, ,780. The higher 1857
budget is partly due to its inclu-
sion of almost 100000 extra ex-
penses for holding the last Gen.
eral Assembly in Paris.

Infantry Routs Reds;
Clouds Halt Air Raids
After Big Navy Attack
BY the Assoeioied Press

SEOUL, Korea. Sept. 2.-United
Nations infantrymen today re-
pulsed three light Chinese thrusts
against Allied defense In the Old
Baldy and Bunker Siberia Hill
sectors on the Korean western
front.
Chinese soldiers showed contin-
uing interest in the battle-scarredI
terrain won in recent weeks by
United States troops in especially
bitter fighting.
Clouds cut Allied air raids over
North Korea after the United
States Navy's spectacular strikes
yesterday near the Manchurian
and Siberian borders. Carrier
planes blasted the Aoji refinery,
Musan iron works and the big
northwest port city of Chongjin.
The Navy said today the at
tacks were among "the most sue
cessful carried out thus far by
Navy pilots"
Planes Destroy Red Tank.
Despite bad weather today, the
United States 5th Air Force re-
ported that warplanes knocked
out a Communist tank northwest
of Chorwon. It was the first re-
port of Red tank being destroyed
by planes since July IL.
The 5th Air Force said thick
clouds, which lifted yesterday,
closed in this morning over most
North Korean targets. But fighter
bombers cut through the mist and
hit Red supply areas behind the
western front. The Air Force re-
ported four buildings and one
supply dump demolished and flve
buildings and two dumps dam
aged.
Twenty-Five B-26 bombers last
night smashed the east coast city
of Sinchang and bomber crews
reported % secondary explosions
set OF by their bomb loads.
Leaflets Give Warning.
The Air Force said lefiets were
dropped in the area telling resi-
dents:
"You were warned that mill
tary targets in Sinchang might
be attacked by United Nations
aircraft"
Along the 155-mile battle front
there were brief but sharp patrol
clashes.
The largest Chinese probe this
morning was by a platoon-about
40 men-feeling out defenses of
Old Baldy Hill, lying west of
Chorwon. It was driven of in q
furry Of gunfire.
A Chinese squad engaged Bum
ker Hill defenses. four miles east
of the truce village of Panmun-
jom. for 20 minutes before re-
treating. A three-man Chinese
patrol was quickly driven from
Siberia Hill. close by Bunker Hill.

Applications Pile Up
For Army's Popular
Grasshopper Air Fleet

The Army's "grasshopper" fleet
is growing but not fast enough to
suit the would-be pilots OF the
small aircraft.
One hundred ground officers are
trained monthly to fly the small
observation planes and helicop-
tiers over the front lines. But the
applications have been running at
the rate of some 500 monthly and
all classes have been filled through
next March. More than 1000 Of
f1cers have applied to be Army
Aviators" in the last year.
The Navy and Air Force have
been experiencing difficulty in
getting applicants for pilots of
their fast jets and big bombers.
Not Separate Branch.
Army aviation is not organized
as a separate branch of the Army,
such as the former Air Corps, but
is distributed throughout the COM
bat and service support elements.
Seven branches of the Army carry
aircraft in their tables of equip
ment.
The Army'S planes are utilized
for aerial reconnaissance and
limited photography, adjustment
of artillery fire. wire laying, COM
mand and courier missions. emer-
gency supply, casualty excavations
and transportation within the
combat zone.
The service has approximately
1000 aircraft with several hun
dred more on order. Seventeen
have been shot down in Korea.
The hot-rod of Army air is a
rier-transport type which will
cruise at ITO miles an hour with
pilot, three passengers and full
gas load.
Called "HOrseflieS" in Korea.
The L-17s in Korea have become
known as "Horsef1ies" because of
their use in directing fast fighter
planes in for q strike against
enemy positions.
Somewhat like the Marine
Corps conception of close air sup
port of ground troops, the Army's
aviatorS first must be qualified in
fantry and artillery officers under
80 years of age.
The Air Force teaches them to
fly at San Marcos. Tex, after
which they move to the Artillery
School at Fort Sill, Okla. There
the Army teaches its pilots to
work closely with ground units.
The aviators remain members of
the ground organization. The
training course requires seven
months.
There are now some 1000 Army
aviators, six of them colonels, Ct
lieutenant colonels and the ball
ance in lower grades including
warrant officer.

Experiments With Rats Lead
ToNewKnowiedge About Brain

area" deep in the brain it had
been necessary to probe through
the cerebral cortex, the relatively
thin area of gray matter" on top
of the brain which is the latest
acquisition in evolution and sup
posedly the seat of conscious
behavior and all finer discrimina-
tions.
Findings Checked.
DrS. Nauta and Brady checked
their findings by making the same
probes through the cortex with
out penetrating to the septal re-
gion. They found little difference
from the normal reaction of the
rats to being touched. The diff
ference came. in fact. only after
the brain injuries had penetrated
to the "fornix," from which lot
of nerve f1bers extend from the
inner brain to the cortex. It was
like messing up the switching sys-
tenn in a railroad yard.
The "old brain" served animals
for most of the time they
have been on earth. When 1t was
stimulated. the effect was to pro-
duce undifferentiated movement
of some kind. In the process of
development from the earliest
reptile-like mammals and birds
to the creatures of today the
new BRAIN" the cerebral cortex,
was built up. This acts as an
arbiter in man and all the higher
animals to the undifferentiated
response to stimulus. A good
many of the impulses are trans
mitted upward through the for
nix. In these experiments the
tracks were cut and, it might be
reasoned. the "old brain" was
on its own.
Genius" Teams.
The day of the individual
genius" may be near its end
Notable scientific discoveries of
the future may well come from
teams Of experts, the association
was told by Donald Walker OF
the University of Chicago.
He described experiments IL
search of the psychological char
acteristics that make for creative
discoveries. These were grouped
into five headings: Originality
Ef1exibility of thinking, ability tc
produce large numbers of ideas ir
response to a given situation
Sensitivity to environment ano
ability to concentrate.
All five of these, his tests
showed. seldom are found in one
individual. In originality OF
thinking. for example, only %
per cent of the scientists exam
ined rated outstandingly high
About the same number were
sensitive to their environments
and a third possessed a copious
flow Of ideas.
Since all these abilities are
needed for notable scientific OF
creative work, Mr.. Walker said
pooling talents in which given
individuals are outstanding prob
ably will be necessary in the fu-
ture. Further scientific studies
he stressed, should provide a
basis for effectively harnessine
the energies of creative thinkers.
