charges today over renewed
fighting near the GAIA STRIP
border.
An Israeli army spokesman
reported two Egyptian positions
opened fire today on an Israeli
patrol in the Kissufirn area after
a border CLASH last night in the
same sector between Egyptian
and Israeli patrols. The spokes-
man said there were no Israeli
casualties either time.
Meanwhile. Egypt claimed
that four Israeli soldiers and
one Egyptian were killed when
a patrol crossed the armistice
demarcation line and attacked
an Egyptian patrol yesterday at
Wadi GAIA, south of the &gyp-

HONG KONG. Dec. 20 F. -
DR.. and Mrs. Homer v. Brad
shaw, American medical mis-
sionaries in China for nearly 20
years and prisoners Of the Com
munists for nearly five, crossed
The Hong Kong border to free
dom today.
Mrs. Bradshaw appeared to be
suffering from acute malnutri-
ton and a mental breakdown.
"She doesn't realize even now
that she is in free territory" the
Presbyterian doctor told news
men a half hour after an 'ambu-
lance brought him and his wife
to st. Teresa's Hospital from the
frontier bridge on the main
land.
DR.. Bradshaw said he himself
had been subjected to slow
starvation and suffered a COM
plete physical breakdown last
May but Red Cross food parcels
he began receiving the next
month helped him to recover
partially.
Imprisoned Apart
DR.. Bradshaw said he saw his
wife briefly only once-hut could
not talk to her-from the time
of their arrest early in 1851 until
they were reunited only two days
lago.
He added that he plans 70
take his wife as soon as possible
to her fathers farm near Pitts
burgh, Pa.
IF we can get this fear out of
her." he said, "she will start to
eat again and slowly get her
physical strength back"
DR.. Bradshaw is 81 and his
wife is about the same age.

Pittsburgh, and medical mis-
Isionaries in China since 1928,

majority of those present and

While the split-term deal had
the backing of both Yugoslavia
and the Philippines, as well as
Russia and the big Western pow
ers, there was no vote on the
deal as such. The Assembly
merely elected Yugoslavia to a
two-year term.
Understanding on Shift
The understanding was, how
ever. that the Yugoslav delega-
ton would resign at the end Of
one year and that the Philippines
would then be elected. Yugo-
slavia was chosen to serve the
first half of the term after its
name was drawn out of a box by
Assembly President Jose Maza
last Friday night.
The deal was the same as the
one which had been turned down
by the 76-nation Assembly last
week. The vote showed that the
plan still was unacceptable tc
many delegates.
While the voting was secret
most of the IL votes cast for the

Fishermen 10 Gel Increased Benefits

Increased benefits for Alaska's s Commercial fishermen are now available as the result of amend ments to the Act providing for the Care of Sick and Disabled Fishermen and a $5 increase in the license fee, according to no- t1ce given today by Commission CT of Labor Henry A. Benson.
 The additional benefits are paid for medical care and treat ment of a number of diseases which had not previously been defined as occupational diseases.
 The law now provides not only medical care, disqualification and transportation for, fishermen who suffer accidental injury in con- nection with their fishing opera tons in Alaska, but also provides similar care for fishermen who suffer a number of disabilities arising out of diseases which are particularly common and pecu- liar to those who engage in fish ing in Alaska.
 All costs of these benefits are paid out of monies derived from fisherznen's license fees.
 The Fisher1nen's Fund as created by the 1851 Legislature, consisted of 30 percent of the S resident and $10 nonresident license fee. Under the 1855 am- endments the Fund will receive 80 percent of the $10 resident and $15 nonresident license fee. It is estimated that the new apportion- ment will provide approximate ly $82,0 ,000 annually to the fund.
