MUNSAN.--Korea. March 17- (Mondsy)-(AP)-Aliiad and Com- munist negotiators made some headway Sunday on secondary ground rules for a Korean arm- istice. It wasn't much, but an Allied spokesman still rated it as "the moat progress in two months." New scssi were scheduled for ll A.M., today (9 P.M. EST Sunday) at Panmunjom. ' The harmonious tenor of Sufi- day's truce supervision meeting had its discordant counterpart in a blistering Communist note ask- ing a "responsible" account of last Tlnrrsdays Koje Island prison outbreak.

The note, delivered in the staff officer meeting on prisoner ex- change, quoted Gen. Nam Ii, senior Red delegate: "Such bar- barous massacres would not be further tolerated." Twelve North Korea prisoners were killed and 26 wounded in the outbreak be- tween rival prisoner-of-war groups.

But in an adjoining tent, the Reds' tentative acceptance of the United Nations command "pack- age" proposal on truce supervis- ion was regarded as a significant step forward. It had five pro- visions: '

l. The U. N. command would reduce from six to five the num- ber of ports of entry available to each side.

2. The Chinese and North Kor- eans would drop their demands for inspection of secret military equipment.

3. The Communists would agree that the words "In Korea" be in- sertcd in pertinent paragraphl. thus strictly limiting an armistice to the Korean peninsula.

4. The Allies would drop 9. re- quest that neither side mass mil- itary forces to pose a threat.

5. Reports on the location oi major military units would not be required.

By Elton C. Fay

WAS!-iiilNG'ION. March 10 - (AP)-Unlted States military of- ficials seam certain the Commun- ists in Korea will invite military disaster if they turn from stalling in the truce negotiations to gamble on a new offensive.

Military headquarters observers recently returned from the battle front hinted todayat powerful de- fensive ueparatlons made by United Nations forces. They corn- mcnt:d in interviews on an air of confidence displayed by both troops and troop commanders.

This gave emphasis to a state- ment by Defence Secretary Rob- ert Lovett during the week-end, in his semi-annual report to the white House and Congress, that strong defensive positions have been established in Korea and that "any resumption oi the of- fensixe by the enemy will involve him in critical losses of men and material."

On the basis of military evid- ence. the intentions of the Chinese and North Korean Communists are not clear. For months they have been preparing for both of- fensive and defensive operations. while higher political levels of the Communist world have directed the stslemates in truce talks.

The headquarters of Gen. liiattiiew ltidgrway. U. N. com- mander. announced last week that Russia has been equipping both Chinese and Korean Communist forces with a wide variety of arm-1

some military quarters incline to the belief that too much em- phasis has been placed here on the build-up of the Red air force in relation to the offensive potentiality of the Communists.

The point made is not that there has peen no buildf-up-estimates of enemy air strength now range from 1,100 to 1,700 aircraft, with from 700 to 900 Mig-15 jet fight- ers--but that the Red air force is essentially a defensive force.

Former island iiewsman Describes Air Triple Brazil

By Forbes Rhude (Canadian Press Business Editor)

This writer's first bit of travel was by a sort of stagecoach, from Montague to Cardigan, P.E.I., be- fore the railway wa.s extended.

At that time the flying machine was thought to have little future.

With that sort of background, I am always surprised, nowadays, when I find myself high over some large piece of ocean-sup prised and respectful.

so it was on a recent visit to Brazil: and, for those interested, this story and the.next in the current series will be especially about the l2,000 miles of flying involved.

Mr. Sharpe into, action and on his way to the airport. There he found that last week's storm had also completely blocked the doors to the hangar and he was unable to get the plane out.

In the emergency two airport employees . responded to Mr. Shurpeis call for help, and Messrs. Charles Mathleson and Clifford Moore manned a bulldozer and cleared the snow away while the pilot was fitting his plane with skits. Underway shortly after, Mr. Sharpe reported that the "mercy" flight was uneventful and he landed in a field near Souris harbor without incident. The R. C. M. P. were there waiting to receive the blood and rushed it to the hospital where the subsequent. transfusions were successful in saving the life of the patient. Last night she was reported as being greatly improved.

The need for the RH negative type blood was said to have arisen from lack of facilities for typing blood in Souris. The type called for may be used for practically all" patients when the specific type of the patient is not known.

when Mr. Sharpe was taking off from the Souris field on the return trip a man wished to ac- company him to the city. How- ever, the sticky snow made the takeoff impossible with a double load and the plane had to be first flown to harbor ice where it was set down and waited for the passenger. From the ice there was no difficulty in starting the flight back to the city.
