his Tokyo headquarters and con ferred with Rhee, possibly in an eleventh-hour attempt to over come the opposition of the aging, but fiery, president.
 They talked for an hour but there was no announcement after the meeting.
 Meanwhile, the South Korean government said it will make pub lie Saturday it's counter-plan for a Korean truce.
 However, NEG correspondent Jim Robinson said in a broadcast from Korea Friday that Rhee told him South Korea would sign the present truce proposal "only be- cause the US. forces us to-"
 The violent South Korean op- position has worried Allied lead CTS. The South Koreans have threatened to continue the fight if an armistice is signed on the present proposal and foreign min ister Pyun predicted bloodshed if some of it's terms are enforced.
 The prospects for an immedi- ate truce sprang from a still-of- ficially secret Allied proposal made May 25 to settle the fate of 48,5OO Chinese and North Ko- rean POWs unwilling to return to their Red-ruled homelands.
 A truce now would leave Korea divided roughly along the 38th parallel, the old political bound ary created after World War II.

End of Korean War Appears Near As Communists Submit Terms
 Very Close to Those of The U. N.

SEOUL, R- The end of the Korean fighting appeared close today. A fateful truce meeting to- morrow could almost write an end to three years of war and death.
 The Communists were reported to have submitted terms so close to those of the U. N. Command that an armistice might be signed by June 25, third anniversary of this war that has already taken awesome toll.
 Minor details must be ironed out, but "peace fever" was in the air here as well as other Allied capitals.
 Even the Reds were feeling it. Communist frontline loudspeakers broadcast warnings to Allied troops: Don't stick your heads out. There will be a truce in a few days
 A high US. official in Tokyo said an agreement to exchange prisoners likely will be signed Saturday. However, a truce could not be signed before next week, he added.
 However, there was one jar ring and bitter dissent to the op- timism. President Syngm a n Rhee's South Korean government stubbornly opposed the truce terms although Rhee has said he would cooperate "at any cost" with the US.

FBI Investigating Story
 Of Kidnapping By Three Ladd Field Servicemen

ANCHORAGE, R - A Fair banks night club photographers story of being kidnapped and forced to drive to the Canadian border and back, was being in vestigated today by FBI agents who are questioning three Ladd Air Force Base servicemen.
 The woman, Sandra Jacobs, told Anchorage officials she had picked up three Air Force men outside Fairbanks and was forced at gunpoint to drive toward Can ada.
 She said they were turned back at the border by customs officials and they turned back toward Palmer. She managed to slip a note asking for help to a GUS toner while eating at a road house at Eureka.
 Police were notified and the car was stopped outside Palmer.

Reds Try Take All Possible Ground Before Armistice

SEOUL, R - American Sabre jet pilot bagged eight Communist MIG jets, probably destroyed one and damaged five in air battles high over North Korea today.
 Maj. Vermont Garrison of Tulsa became the wars 32nd jet ace by downing his fifth MIG, the Air Force said.
 On the ground, South Korean infantrymen fought with bayonets and grenades to win back Allied outposts which the Reds may claim if an early armistice halts the bloody three-year-old war.
 Truce negotiators agreed in November, 1851, that the cease fire demarcation line would be along a line of contact across Korea. Since then the main battle line has changed little, but in re- cent weeks the Reds have grab bed important outpostS in the west and a number of advance Allied positions in the center and on the eastern end of the line.
 Observers said the Reds could be expected to claim the line of contact was south of Allied out posts they have seized-outposts which in many cases guard the main JUN. line.

Vice President Nixon Pats Lion on Head at Circus

WASHINGTON, R-Vice Pres ident Nixon showed some reluc- tance at first, but finally he patted the 18-year-old on the forehead.
 The 18-year-old was lion named Sheba.
 The Vice Presidents initiation yesterday as ''fall guy" of the Circus Saints and Sinners re- quired that he thus make Sheba's acquaintance, but it did not blos- som into long companionship.
 The lion opened it's mouth, dis playing teeth. It was, perhaps, a yaWn. Nixon stopped batting and soon moved on to enjoy more of the circus atmosphere the Saints and Sinners had created in the lobby of the Mayflower Hotel, with posters, calliope, a pink lemonade fountain and shimmy dancer called Jai-Leta.
 She said of the lion visiting Vice President, He's got more guts than I have"
 There had been some doubt as to whether Nixon would actually step into Sheba's barred parlor.

High B-36 Drops Biggest A-Bomb Exploded In US.

LAS VEGAS, Nev., R-The big gest atom bomb ever exploded in the United States famed for more than two minutes in the pre-daWn sky Thursday over Nevada Prov ing Ground
 The fireball broiled for more than 30 seconds, indicating an in tensity twice that of any previous bomb or device detonated in the desert.
 The 2O-kiloton Hiroshima bomb had 10second fireball.
 Dropped from an extremely high-flying B-36, the unprecedent- ed A-bomb flashed across the en- tire horizon and 'bathed the desert in a ghostly white light for at least five seconds. Then it formed into a brilliant golden fireball.
 The flash was seen and the shock felt on the California coast.
 Fires were observed burning on Yucca Flat some 10 minutes later when observers started returning to Las Vegas. The fires probably were in Yucca trees and perhaps some tall cedars and pines left over from previous tests this spring.
 The burst appeared to be at a height of more than 2,500 feet. The device was dropped from a bomber coming from Kirtland Air Force Base, Albuquerque, at an altitude of probably 35,OOO or 10000 feet.
 This is calculated On the basis of the AEC announcement that it took 42 seconds for the bomb to drop from the plane to it's point of detonation.
 After the fireball spent itself, the atomic cloud hung lazily at about 4O,OOO feet as the sun came over the mountains to the east. Comparatively slight winds twist ed it into a monstrous gray zig gag, but it did not move as rapid ly as many clouds had in past tests.

Eisenhower On TV Pledges No Risk
 Of War, No Appeasement Of Reds

; WASHINGTON, R- President Dwight D. Eisenhower inaugura- ted new era of presidential con- tact with the people Wednesday night-pledging on a family cir cle" telecast there would be no appeasement of Communism and ''no risk of a general war"
 Surrounded by four members of his official family, and inviting his millions of television watchers to think of themselves as fellow dwellers in ''the National House." Eisenhower gave these assurances in a precedent-setting WhiteHouse report to the nation:
 "We are going to keep our tenn per; we are going to build our strength"
 we are not going to cripple this nation and we are going specifically to keep up its air power.'
 Our effort is to secure peace and prosperity in peace"
 So, in easy conversational style, and passing the ball repeatedly to his cabinet aides, Eisenhower met head-on the accusations aired in Congress only few hours before that his Air Force budget cuts are imperilling the nations security.
 Eisenhower went on to a dis cussion of other problems:
 The Deficit: During IT of the past 20 years we have gone into debt Borrowing cheapens money. That is like water in your coffee"
 Economy: "These expensive mil itary establishments are going to be maintained at the most econ omic way possible. You are going to get one dollars worth for ev- cry dollar we spend. I am going to keep that promise"
 The Excess Profits Tax: Tt is unjust, it is clumsy, and it is awk- ward. But it must not be taken off until we cam reduce the indiv- idual income taxes"
 Government Employee Security: "We go after the weeds of dis loyalty but we don't want to up- root single good plant. The great mass of your federal em- ployes are a wonderful, dedicated group of men and women whose jobs are going to be protected"

DOMESTIC RABBIT
Continued from Page 1

delicious sandwiches and salads as
well as the ordinary uses.
Wapakoneta and Ottawa, of all the
local communities, seem to eat most
domestic rabbit. Bluffton is far down
on the list despite the fact that the
best source of supply is located here.
While Amstutz raises few rab-
bits, most of the firms output is
purchased from wide area. Raisers
from as far away as Holgate and
Continental and Upper Sandusky
supply the local processer. And he
has been in the business going on the
tenth year this February.
Until this spring the business re-
quired only part of Mr.. Amstutz's
time, but since then, he has been at
it on a full-time schedule. He ac-
quired it as a sideline activity nine
years ago from Lamar Price of near
Findlay.
In the butchering process, Mr.. and
Mrs. Amstutz are assisted by two
other men. Charles Burkholder and
Dave Hofstetter. Don Leiber, who
is now attending college, also helped
during the summer.
During the remainder of the week
Mr.. .Amstutz is busy on his route buy
ing rabbits from farmers who raise
them. Between 800 and 400 persons
keep the business supplied. Prime
young rabbits weighing from to 51a
pounds bring a top price of 25 cents
per pound. Overweight rabbits drop
down to as low as IL and 10 cents.
Mr.. Amstutz claims that rabbit
raising is more profitable than chick
ems. They gain weight faster on 9
smaller expenditure for food, he says
At one time rabbit processers
could sell all of the hides, but the
! only market today is for the better
white hides. These bring from 81,
to seven cents each, but shipping cost
to New York or Chicago must be
borne by the seller.
