Communists Attack
Allied Lines Again
Despite Truce Moves
0y the Assoeiatsd Press

SEOUL, April Chinese
Communist troops hit Allied
lines in Central Korea today for
the second time in "a hours,
hurting a 175-man attack against
a strategic outpost hill north
east of Chorwon.
Troops of the United States
3rd Division, 18th Regiment,
routed the Reds in a bloody two
hour battle marked by hand-to-
hand fighting. the 9Th Army
said.
The Chinese fired more than
$500 artillery shells before and
during the attack.
An 9th Army briefing officer
said that at no time did the
Americans lose control of the
hill. Fifteen Chinese bodies were
left on the hill and the army
estimated at least 80 others were
killed or wounded.
Attacking Despite Truce Moves.
In the same general area a
full Chinese battalion attacked
positions of the South Korean
Capital Division before dawn yes
terday, but the ROKs threw
back the assault in a 40-minute
battle.
The central front attacks fol-
lowed the pattern of last weeks
vicious Red assaults on Old
Baldy, Vegas, Reno and Carson
outposts on the western front
but were on a smaller scale. OBJ
servers said the Reds apparently
intend to continue military pres
sure against Allied lines despite
recent truce proposals from
Communist China and North
Korea.
Elsewhere on the battle front,
Allied troops threw back three
small probing attacks in Eastern
Korea and killed or wounded 20
Reds in a patrol clash in the
west.
Low clouds grounded allied
warplanes today, the 5th Air
Force said. Last night B-26
bombers destroyed 26 Communist
trucks and shot up trains in
strikes against North Korean
communication lines, the Air
Force said.
Red Casualties Estimated.
Eighth Army said 1858 Com
muniSt troops were killed,
wounded or captured by the
allies during March-the highest
monthly total since the 1880
last November. The 9th Army
brief1ng officer said 1898 of the
total were inflicted by the
Marines and 2,817 by the Army's
7th Division. Most of the Reds
were killed or wounded in the
bloody fighting on Old Baldy
and Vegas outpost in Western
Korea.
The March estimates included
6.790 Reds killed, 5,710 wounded
and So captured-the highest
prisoner of war toll in many
months. February's total casual
ties were 7,460. q
A shell from a Communist
shore battery injured 13 men
aboard the cruiser Los Angeles
as it bombarded WonSan harbor
on Korea'S east coast yesterday.
None of the victims was seriously
hurt. the Navy said.
It was the second time in seven
days the Los Angeles was hit
by Communist fire. The first
time. on March 81. no one was
injured.

MOSCOW, April 3.-President
Eisenhower and Soviet Prime
Minister Malenkov were toasted
with vodka last night at a din
ner for American and Russian
newsmen.
The dinner, in honor of a

NEW YORK, April s.-A
thousand weeping and laughing
relatives and girl friends today
welcomed 1000 cheering service
men on the first troopship to
come into an East Coast port
from Korea.
The welcomers waved signs
they had written on white plac-
ards provided by the Army. They
bore Inscriptions in lipstick and
mascara such as Welcome
home, Louie" welcome home,
Sugarpuss" and Its about time. "
The troops leaning over the
starboard rails as the transport
Gen. William Weigel nosed into
the Brooklyn Army base waved
wildly, shouted, whistled and
sang.
Band Aids UprOar.
A 35-piece band, blowing of
the ships whistle and the drone
of airplanes and helicopters
added to the uproar.
Army regulations dictated that
the ship dock this morning al
though she reached New York
harbor late yesterday. A host
of Broadway entertainers gave
a show aboard ship until the
early morning hours, but some
troops were diSgruntled that the
ship did not dock Immediately.
While they enjoyed the show,
they felt the delay in disem-
barking might prevent them
from reaching home in time for
Easter.
The Military Sea Transport
Service gave two versions of the
reason for keeping the troops
aboard ship overnight.
Ahead of Schedule.
First, it reported that the
ship was arriving ahead of
schedule and that berthing
arrangements could not be
changed. But another MSTS
spokesman said last night the
party had been planned long
ahead as a welcome home ges-
ture to the soldiers.
1T was planned for their con-
venience and goodwill. and to
throw the party they quite nat
urally had to have them aboard
the ship" he said.
The ship came here, instead of
to a West Coast port. because
she is going to be overhauled on
the East Coast.
AS the ship pulled into her
berth. the noise was pierced fire.
quently by cries Of: He sees me,
he sees me-"
The ship carried 1923 Korea
veterans and 315 from other Far
East stations.
New York Hours Away.
The all-night show was put
together to keep the veterans
from incoming too much over the
New York skyline-So near, but
still hours away for them.
1t was the city's biggest troop
welcome since World War II.
/ The show ran almost continu-
ouSly until dawn. Sometimes it
was going on in several places
on the ship because of cramped
quarters.
The vets had wolf whistles for
the singers and actresses who
came aboard.
Man. I haven't seen a woman
like that for 20 months" grinned

from Russia and Communist
| China.
The President made j, GEAR he
did not think any speculation on
this topic could be dignified by
! the term analysis. He said it
definitely involved guessing.
Then he emphasized that he
believes that in the whole busi-
ness of peace approaches, the
United States should take at face
value every offer that is made
until it is proved not worthy of
being so taken.
He added that of course no one
should ignore the history of the
past several years, with it's ex-
aSperating experiences and frus-
trations in Western efforts to
promote peaceful arrangements
with the Soviet bloc.
But, he went on, when an offer
comes along from the Communist
side indicating they are ready to
act on peace proposals this Gov
ernment has been pressing, the
West should go right at it as if
the Communists meant it.
He mentioned specifically the
recent Chinese Communist mes
sage accepting a proposal by Gen.
Clark, U. N. commander in the
Far East, for exchanging sick
and wounded prisoners of war.
Gen. Eisenhower pointed out
that the Communists said such
an exchange would do much to
promote negotiations for an
armistice in Korea. These nego-
tiations have been deadlocked
since the Communists refused to
agree to U. N. insistence that
prisoners should not be forcibly
repatriated against their will.
Hopes for Exchange Raised.
Gen. Eisenhower said the
Communists acceptanc f Gen.
Clark's proposal raised hope
that the exchange of, : and
wounded prisoners could be ac-
complished quickly. Certainly
that would be a clear indication
that deeds, rather than words,
were now to come into fashion,
he added. .. @s-
He stressed that he welcomes
heartily any indications that the
Communists are ready to act
sincerely on proposals long
pressed by the United States for
peaceful settlement of outstand-
ing issues.
In saying that this Government
stands prepared to meet every
honest advance from the Com
munist side, the President said he
was ready to do so without trying
to speculate on what lay behind
the Communist moves.
Other officials have made
clear they believe the Soviet's
major aim may be to stall the
Vests defense buildup and drive
wedge between the Western
powers by actions that appear
to lessen dangers to the free
world.
But the Presidents remarks
pointed up that the official
American policy now is to as
sumo that the Communists are
making sincere moves toward
easing current tensions, at least
until they are proved otherwise.

ment about whether he consid-
cred it to be in the national in
tereSt for congressional commit
tees to conduct negotiations. He
contented himself-and the cor
respondents had to be contented
too-with his statement that he
does not think committees have
the facts to make such activities
profitable-unless some special
fact should make it so. Gen.
Eisenhower added that he
wouldn't say never, but in the
average case would doubt it.
Confusion of Words Seen.
AS for Mr.. Stassen's conten-
ton, Gen. Eisenhower said, when
asked about that, he thought the
Mutual Security administrator
meant infringement on the ex-
ecutive authority rather than un-
dermining. A reporter pointed
out that Senator McCarthy'S
press release last Saturday re-
garding an agreement of Greek
shipowners in New York to cut
off trade with Communist areas
had used the word "negotia-
tions." The President replied
that he could not see how you
could negotiate when there's
nothing you can commit.
He was asked if he thought
Senator Mccarthy had interfered
with Government negotiations in
this field. The President replied
that he had no real opinion on
that because he has not dis
cussed the matter with Secre-
tary Dulles or Mr.. Stassen.
Earlier, informed sources re-
ported that Senator Mccarthy
and his committee confidently
were expecting word soon that
Greek shipowners in London,
operating $50 merchant vessels,
have agreed to cease trade with
Soviet bloc countries.

Roman Fathers Ring
First Gift to Bride

ROME.-The Greeks and the
Romans were among the first to
view rings as gifts denoting af-
fection. In early Rome the first
gift a young woman received on
the eve of marriage was a seal
ring from her father.
1t was practical, too. because
as mistress of the new household
she was expected to use the seal
on food lockers and wine and
oil jars. And only she could
open them.
