out Mountain in the east. Neith-
er the Reds nor South Korean
infantrymen have been able to
hold the crest in six days Of at
tacks and counterattacks. The
hill is one anchor for the ROKs'
new front in the Pukhan River
sector.
Casualties Heavy for Week.
The seriousness Of the ground
war was reflected in last weeks
estimated enemy casualty flg-
ures. which topped all weeks
back to that of November II.
1851. The new total for the
week ending June % put Red
killed, wounded and prisoners at
1l,2O0 Chinese and North Ko-
reans. OF these. $500 enemy
were killed and 3,7OO. wounded.
While allied casualties are not
released by action or period. but
only as isolated numbers from
time to time. there is an OBJ
vlous relation between Red and
allied losses.
The casualties and record ar
tillery barrages all pointed to the
fact that the ground war. while
still far short of general often
sives. was being fought with un-
surpassed ferocity on the narrow
sectors where fortress hills are
won or lost.

Inland Rains Heading

U. 5. Speeds Relief
BY the Assoeiated Prsss

DALLAS. Tex, June 30.-An
inland sweep of tropical storms
today pushed showers toward
West Texas and Oklahoma farm
areas for which President Eisen-
hover made available an So mil
lion drought disaster fund.
Downpours, as heavy as 6
inches at Baytown. scattered
over east and central Texas yes
terday in time to save pastures,
cotton. peaches, late corn and
vegetables in many counties.
ForecasterS expected scattered
rain to drift into dried-up West
Texas and Oklahoma. But in
much of the area a four-year
drought has so denuded the soil
of plant cover that rain would
fall only on sandy wastes. Most
of the West Texas wheat crop
and much of the cotton is gone.
Pastures are crisp and useless.
Two Governors Advised.
president Eisenhower today
sent kilograms to Gov. Allan
Shivers of Texas and Gov.
Johnston Murray of Oklahoma
advising them of the alloca-
ton of the So million in
drought relief funds to their
States.

dent designated 152 counties in

disaster areas where the aid
will be extended.)
Meanwhile. Gov. Edwin Me-
chem of New Mexico appealed to
President Eisenhower for Federal
aid in New Mexico's drought
crisis. He planned to fly to
Washington today.
Colorado also is asking the
Federal government for aid for
six counties in the southeastern
part of the State. Gov. Dan
Thornton drafted the request to-
day after an airplane and auto
mobile inspection trip that COW
cred hundreds Of thousands Of
acres.
In the Senate. Minority Leader
Johnson, Democrat, of Texas,
and IL other Senator'S intro
duced a bill to provide money
and power to meet disasters such
as the Southwest drought. The
measure would authorize Gov
ernmeht loans to farmers and
stockmen at 4 per cent interest.
Senator johnson told the Sena-.
tors he had consulted several
Government agencies land they
do not know whether they have
the authority to do the things
that must be done"
To Speed Stock Feed.
Secretary Of Agriculture Ben
son. who returned to Washington
from weekend inspection of
the Texas drought area, said the
first steps in the administration
program would be aimed at
speeding emergency feed to live
stock growers. He said growers
will get the feed "at level
somewhat below the support
level" for the feeds involved.
Feed will come from stocks of
the Commodity Credit Corpora
ton with any losses made up
from the Presidents emergency
fund.
Mr.. Benson also said the
President will ask the Interstate
Commerce Commission to permit
railroads to lower freight rates
on feed shipments to the disaster
area and livestock shipments to
greener pastures.
Mr.. Benson said extension of
credit for farmers and ranchmen
will be covered in another pro-
gram he hopes to announce
later this week.
