three-hour grenade battle and
smashed the Communists seventh

recapture Bunker Hill on the
Korea western front.
Four hundred Chinese charged
to within 80 yards of Marine
positions on the blood-soaked
ridge before dawn, United
States 9th Army staff officer
said. Red artillery and mortars
raked Allied positions in support
of the attack.
Fresh Marines were rushed
forward at the height of the
battle. The Reds pulled back less
than a half hour later.
Red Casualties Up to 3,735.
Later the Communists traded
shots with the Marines for 10
minutes from a distance, but made
no charge.
The seventh Communist assault
on the hill seized early Tuesday
by the Leathernecks began with
a platoon charge shortly after
midnight.
The 1st Marine Division esti-
mated 226 Reds killed or wounded
by the time the attack was re-
pulsed. The Marines estimated
Communist losses during the week
of bloody fighting near Janmun-
jon, site of the Korean truce
talks. at 3,735 killed or wounded.
Elsewhere on the front it was
relatively quiet.

Red supply center at Chungwa
into flaming ruin last night.
Civilians had been warned by
Radio Seoul to leave the area,
south OF Pyongyang. capital of
North Korea.

Fires lit up the sky and six
violent secondary explosions
rocked the target as the B-26
medium bombers completed their
runs.
Other Allied bombers hit Red
front line positions. especially in
the Bunker Hill sector.
The United States 5th Air Force
said Sabre jet pilots shot down
one Communist MIG-15 jet and
probably destroyed two more dur
ing the past week. For the second
straight week, no U. N. planes were
lost in air battles, but Red anti
aircraft guns shot down one F-51
reconnaissance plane. An F-84
Tunderjet and B-26 bomber
failed to return from missions over

Seen After Russians
Reject Peace Treaty
ERICA STEEL.
By the Associntsd Pres.

Six years of effort by the West
ern powers to get Russia to agree
to an Austrian peace treaty ap-
|peared today to have reached a
dead end.
An appeal by Austria to the
United Nations. probably with
American support, may be the
next move. Russia, however.
wants another review of the en-
tire Austrian treaty question.
The State Department an
nounced late yesterday that Mos
cow had rejected an abbreviated
treaty which the Western powers
proposed March 13 in the hope
of ending the occupation Of Aus
tria and giving that country full
independence.
Efforts to reach agreement on
a full-length treaty of SO articles,
as compared with eight in the
short form, had already broken
down. w..
Russia's Reasons Reported.
State Department officials said
they believe the chief reasons
Moscow is blocking Austrian in
dependence are:
/. Looting - Russia, they say
has looted Austria on a grand
scale. Peace not only would end
looting. but possibly even mean
the return Of some seized prop
erty.
2. Occupation - Soviet troops
hold a strategic position in Aus
tria. officials believe the Kremlin
may never withdraw its troops
until basic East-West issues are
resolved.
The eight-page document de-
livered to the United States EN-
bassy in Moscow shortly before
midnight Thursday not only re-
jected the short treaty but indi-
Gated, according to a report from
the embassy to Washington, that
the Kremlin now suggests "yet
another review of the entire Aus
trian treaty question based upon
the return to the punitive spirit
of 1945."
Actually, the Allied. powers
agreed at Moscow in the fall of
l943 that Austria should be dealt
with not as defeated ally of Hit
Ter. but as country which had
been occupied by the Nazis and
was entitled to reservation of its
freedom as soon as possible.
The United States, Britain and
France have long contended that
under this agreement Austria
should be dealt with generously

the prisoner-return point, but
would welcome any proposal to
settle "this one remaining issue. /"
The department said that if
Kim has anything concrete to Of
fer, the Panmunjom truce table IS
the place for it. However, it
added:
I'VE will not permit the Com
munists to reduce the negotiating
table to sounding board for their
flaSe and vicious propaganda"
Kim's speech was made Thurs
day night to rally at the North
Korean capital on the eve of the
seventh anniversary of Japan,s
surrender ending World War II.
Message From Truman.
It was also the fourth anniver-
Sary of the formation OF the u. NJ
supported Republic of Korea,
whose newly reelected President,
Syngman Rhee, got a formal mes
sage from President Truman. It
said: "Felicitations and sincere
good wishes"
