Small fry - plus few larger

Many Of them had their faces

Many wore headbands with one

The area around the bandstand was
loaded with boys. There was much
screaming and scurrying about.
Two basketball games were in pro-

A couple of little girls, conveyed
to the park by parents, stood silent
and wide-eyed as they watched the
boys.
The llftls girls seemed to be
wondering:

The answer, ladies, is yes. But

The controversy arose last week
when the board was asked to ap-

fused to put their stamp of ap-

that the promotion was irregular.
Two members of the panel, Rob-

BY mo Associaisd Press

SEOUL. Nov. 17.South Korea
and the United States today
settled their outstanding differ
ences and cleared the way for q
$70O million economic aid pro-
gram to the 1wartorn country.
United States Ambassador
Ellis o. Briggs and Prime Min
lister Pyun Yung Tai signed the
agreement.
Mr.. Briggs called the agree
ment. formally ending three
months Of wangling. "a milestone
in United States-K Korean rela-
tions and a most important
document"
The settlement sets forth q
broad area of agreement be-
tween the two governments on
political, economic and military
questions and reiterates the in
terest Of the United States and
South Korea in achieving COM
mon detectives.
u. S. to Provide 500 Million.
The United States agreed to
provide South Korea in the next
fiscal year $3.50 million worth Of
economic aid and $3.50 million
worth of military assistance. A
reliable source said it would be
Americas largest single aid pro-
gram for 1855.
South Korea agreed to:
1. Encourage private owner
ship Of industrial projects.
2. Establish new procedures
for converting dollars at "a real
istic exchange rate" both for use
by United States forces and as
sistance fund officials.
8. Make efforts to balance its
budget and to continue to resist
imitation"
4. Procure aid supplies "waer-
ever in non-C Communist countries
goods Of the required quality can
be obtained at the best price"
This presumably ends South Ko-
rea's bitter opposition to buying
from Japan, which once occu-
pied Korea.

Gen. John E. Hull, U. N. Far
East Commander. and ROK
Finance Minister Lee Joong Jae

Negotiations for today's agree
naent began in Washington dur

officials expressed dissatisfaction
with what the United States had
