SEOUL. Korea, Oct. 2l-(Satur- day)-(AP)-A U. S. army spokes- man aaid today that South Korean troops had joined newly-landed American parachute troops Friday night at Sunchon, 30 miles north of Pyongyang.

Sources at U. S. Eighth Army headquarters said elements of the South Korean 6th Division linked up with the Americans at 8 p.m.. (6 a.m. EST) Friday.

The troops had fought north through the centre of ihe pettin- sula to the road linking Pyongyang the Red Korean capital. to Won- san. on the east coast.

They then swung westward. In the vangudrd of the South Korean advance was the 2nd Regiment of the 6th Division.

American officers said the re- maindcr of the 6th and the entire South Korean 8th Division were strung out behind.

A spokesman said the move un- doubtedly cut off many enemy troops.

The advance also apparently set the stage for South Koreans to mount a drive to the Manchurian border as directed Friday by Gen. MacArthur.

Potato Assistance Plan Regarded As Unworkable

A plan of financial assistance for Maritime farmers in the mar- keting of the i960 potato crop has been submitted to the Prince Ed- ward Island and the New Bruns- wick marketing boards by the Do- minlon Government, it was learn- ed here last night.

Details of the plan could not he released for publication but a spokesman for the local Marketing Board stated that the Island org- anization doubted its feasibility. The board felt that. the scheme was not in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Agricultural Prices Support Act wh.ich was designed to cover such emergencies as exist at present in the potato business.

The spokesman revealed that the Marketing Board had asked the Dominion Govemment for a support price of 54 cents a bushel. effective March 1 for all ungradeci potatoes in the farmers bin.

After studying the plan pro- posed yesterday by the Dominion Government the Board spokes-man

stated that tiurther efforts -will be made to obtain a. more workable scheme from Ottawa.

In the meantime it was suggest- ed that farmers should store as many potatoes as possible and await better market conditions which the Board feels may develop.

The establishing of minimum price levels on both tablestock and seed potatoes is regarded by the Board as the only nation that can be taken to arrest the downward price tendency which has been prevalent since the opening of the season,

The Board met dealer representatives and con- sidered the present marketing situation. It was agreed that some acticn be taken by the Board in establishing minimum price levels in both seed and table stock.

The Prince Edward Island Potato Marketing Board is prepsredyin take steps to put this plan Into effect as soon as the New Bruns- wick Board can function on this

yesterday with
