Balloon Drops Visitor
Out Of Sky aud lirs
Wisconsin Town
D. fhe Assoeio,ed p,e,.

STRATFORD. wis, Mar. 2s.-
IA reticent stranger dropped out
Of the sky yesterday. took q snooze
lat q local hotel and then dropped
Iout Of town.
He left behind an open para
chute with unidentified iflstru-
|ments attached to 1t, yards Of
plastic material taken to be a
debated balloon, and scores Of
gaping townfolk.
The mystery was ended last
might when an official Of General
Mills, Inc. at Minneapolis identi-
fed the sky traveller as one Of its
weather researchers on a busman's
holiday. The balloon was incap-
able Of going higher than 5000
feet.
Charles Moore, in charge OF
balloon work for the aeronautical
division Of General Mills, said the
Nick Green---had taken
an unauthorized jaunt In q
weather balloon on his day on.
What made Stratford townsfolk
scratch their heads was that the
visitor would talk to none but
Undersheriff Myron Mueller. And
neither Mr.. Mueller nor his
father. Sheriff Carl Mueller,
would give out information.
The undersheriff, called to the
farm of Emmett Colvin because a
parachute was hanging from a
power wire, said he found the
man who had been seen leaving
the area asleep in a hotel room
here. He said the man admitted
the Chute was his and gave his
name as Nick Green. The sheriff
telephoned Minneapolis.
The silent stranger left town
by bus in the afternoon. Mr..
Moore said q man would be sent
from Minneapolis = about 200
miles west Of hereto pick up the
parachute, instruments and plastic
material.

Communists Accused
OF Delaying Armistiee
* ~.
For Sake Of Arguing
BY III. Assoeiai.d Pes.

MUNsAN. Korea. Mar. 2s.-An
Allied truce negotiator said today
the Communists appear to be
unnecessarily holding up the ar
|mistice Just to argue"
Col. Don O. Darrow said argu-
Iments ranged from the key issue
of whether Russia should help
supervise a truce down to which
words should identity United Ma
tions forces and Korea.
There were strong indications
staff officers would hand the
Russia problem back to top level
armistice negotiators.
Col. Darrow said the Reds were
mot interested in discussing the
problem among staff officers"
Two Primary Obstacles.
The Reds insist that Russia
serve on Q neutral inspection
commission which would check
troops and supplies moving into
Korea during a truce. The Allies
say Russia is wholly unacceptable.
The Russian question and the
problem of how to exchange priS-
oners of war are the two primary
currentsob obstacles to an armistice.
Another group Of staff officers
met in secret session for the fourth
time today in an effort to break
the deadlock over whether pris-
oners should be allowed to reject
repatriation.
Col. George W., Hickman told
Inewsmen after the 21a-hour ses-
sion. I'VE have reached no con-
elusive results"
He declined to say whether the
Allies are making headway IN their
announced attempt to- reach u
compromise.
Heavy Problems Ahead.
Andrew w. Cordier, executive
assistant to U. N. Secretary Gen.
eral Trygve Lie, told newsmen in
Tokyo there has been a slight i'm
provement in the armistice nego-
tiations, but there are some very
heavy problems ahead"
II do not think we can be
optimistic at this STAGE" he added.
Communist negotiators charged
today that an Allied plane dropped
propaganda leaflets over the
Panmunjom truce talk area three
days ago. They protested this
insolent behavior"
1t. Col. Joseph Borchert said
an investigation is underway.
In the neutral inspector discus
sion, Col. Darrow again proposed
that each side name only two
rather than three nations. The
Reds would be represented by
Poland and Czechoslovakia and
the U. N. command by Sweden
and Switzerland.
There is no problem" Col.
Darrow said. you can accept
these and wrap the problem up.
There is no need of six nations. +"
North Korean Col. Chang
Chung San replied that the Allied
position was unreasonable.
The American Red Cross an
nounced in Tokyo that machinery
is being set up to speed the return
of Allied war prisoners If an ar
miStice is signed.

Football Team Meets
Here Friday

Tabor City's 1852 edition of
the Red Devil football team takes
the field for the home folks for
the first time this season Friday
night at 800 against repeatedly
strong Sanford eleven on Civilian
Field.
The locals took 1870 drubbing
by Rockingham at Rockingham
last Friday night but not before
they put on a fine exhibition of
football. Tabor's determined team
STAYED off every Rockingham
threat until late in the third
quarter before firing and losing
to squad deep in reserve
strength. The score was 90 at the
half way mark.
Coach S. w. Caruso and Assist
ant Coach Bill Ratteree have
pushed the team through hard
drills so far this week and antici-
pate a feature attractions Friday
night. Sanford will bring a larger
squad here than the locals will
be able to field but the spirited
Red Devils are expected to make
a fight all the way and hope for
an upset.
This years aggregation is consid-
erably more experienced that was
last years eleven that failed to
win a game. Practically the same
crew is on hand this fall, and most
of the boys have added weight in
addition to experience.
The town of Tabor City is the
smallest in the Southeastern AA
conference, but the heavy high
school enrolment here makes it
mandatory that the locals play
with the larger towns in the con-
ference. The situation makes the
locals underdogs in practically
every engagement but the tenacity
of the Red Devils makes every
game closely contested and parti-
cularly interesting for the spentat-
orS.
