U.N. Command Orders Supervisory
( ommission in South Korea to Halt
Operations and Go to Neutral Zone
PANMUNJOM, Korea, OP)—Tht
U.N. Command today clipped the
wings of the four-nation commis
sion supervising the Korean arm
istice, charging the Communists
have used it as a blind for an
illegal buildup of arms in North
Korea.
Commission members were or
dered to halt their operations in
South Korea and pull back into
the neutral zone.
At the same time Britain dis
closed the 16 nations making up
the U.N. Command, which is
headed by the United States, have
turned down a new proposal from
Red China for a conference to
unite Korea and withdraw foreign
troops.
Dance Will Help
Nome Youth Go to
TV Show in N.Y.
A Benefit Dance to pay the way
of three talented teen-agers to
New York City will be held Sat
urday evening at 9 p.m. at the
Nome School Auditorium.
Music will be by the Arctic
Combo, courtesy of the Bering Sea
: Club.
Why send the lucky three con
testants to New York?
They are to appear on a TV
' show on the CBS network, the
, “Good Mornmg” show with Will
Rogers Jr., as emcee, for the pur
pose of calling the attention of
organizations which sponsor youth
centers to the need of a youth
center here since the USO left so
suddenly last year.
According to Sgt. Richard Aug
ust, one of the active members on
the committee which is working
hard to raise the funis, the need
of such a center increases for
teen-agers as well as the many
servicemen who pass through the
Nome on their way to the
ever-increasing number of sites
in the area and also those service
men who come here on leave from
remote sites.
There are many philanthropic
organizations *to whom this TV
show will be beamed that they
may know the need and possibly
supply the answer, stated August.
The main thing, he said, is to
get the young people to the show
in time for the broadcast and that
is what the committee of civic
minded individuals is attempting
to do.
A British note dispatched to
Peiping on behalf of the 16 said
the Communist governments of
China and North Korea have pro
vided no evidence of the good
faith needed for such a confer
ence to “serve any useful pur
pose” and accused the Reds of
frustrating any effective supervi
sion of the 1954 Geneva armistice
agreement.
North Korea countered with a j
broadcast from Pyongyang report- I
ing it will discharge 80,000 men
from its armed forces by Aug. 31 j
and calling on South Korea to fol- j
low' suit. The Pyongyang radio
said the reductions would speed
talks on unification.
North Korea is estimated to
have about 400,000 soldiers of its
o\yn in uniform, in addition to the
many Red Chinese troops still in
the country. South* Korea has an
army of about 600,000 men.
The Armistice Supervisory Com
mission is made up of representa
tives of traditionally neutral Swe
den and Switzerland and Commu
nist Czechoslavakia and Poland.
A blistering statement from the
U.N. Command accused the North
Koreans of armistice violations
and said the Czech and Polish
members of the commission cov
ered up illegal Red activities.

U.S. Pilot Praises
New Soviet Jet
After Brief Ride
MOSCOW, —“They’ve really
got themselves an airplane,” said
pilot Gari Ketcham of Clifton,
N.J., after hitching a ride on iiUa
sia’s prize TU-104 jet passenger
liner.
Ketcham, a 'wo relief pilot on
international runs, was the first
American to get a brief spin in
the plane which caused a sensa
tion when it appeared in London
last month. Several Western re
porters previously had been ush
ered through the craft, however.
Ketcham, 27, had read news
paper accounts of the Soviet plane
and came to Moscow determined
to get a look at it. Much to every
one's surprise, he did.
Ketcham went out to Vnukova ;
Airport Wednesday and managed 1
to talk his way onto the plane
through pilot Boris Bugviev,
wdiose friendship he had made
hanging around the airport since
foe arrived.
The American's determination
to get a look at the jetliner was
publicized in Western newspapers
and apparently caught the eye of
Soviet officials. Otherwise it is
doubtful he would have first got a
visa and second won himself a
ride. Observers pointed out West-*
erners rarely strike up casual
friendships with Soviet jet pilots.
