Exhausted
GIs Retreat
From Front
SEOUL, Sunday, July 1*—(IP!—
American troops who have bat-
tled savagely for five days in a
futile attempt to recapture Pork-
chop Hill withdrew Saturday
night “on orders from higher
headquarters" as the last har-
riers to an armistice appeared
to be vanishing.
The withdrawal was ordered
shortly after President Syngman
Rhee said a “friendly under-
standing” had been reached
with the Upited States regard-
ing a truce. The Communists
indicated willingness to sign a
truce as soon as the United
Nations was able to guarantee
South Korean cooperation.
An Eighth Army spokesman
said the exhausted troops, driv-
en from the crest by more than
1,000 Chinese two hours earlier,
were ordered at 8:80 p. m. 5:80
a. m. Saturday cst to withdraw
from the hill.
Porkchop guards the Chorwon
invasion houte to Seoul.
A reinforced Chinese battalion
drove the Americans to the
southeast slopes of the hill in
the climax to a day of bloody,
confused fighting in the maze
of caves, tunnels and bunkers
on the crest.
In the eastern front bulge
sector American artillery and
South Korean troops killed 1,700
Chinese and smashed Red at-
tacks against three outposts in
the Kumsong area.

That was the day members of the
presidium went to the Bolshoi
theater without Beria. This seems
to add weight to the suggestion the
army forced Premier Georgi M.
Malenkov to purge Beria, top man
of the rival secret police.
If true, it would mean the begin-
ning of a considerable decrease in
power of the Communist party in
the Soviet Union and the rise of
new men who, in recent years,
were left in the cold.

thority who the new men will be,

BERLIN, July 11 —UP— Soviet authorities announced Saturday
martial law imposed on East Berlin since the June 17 German
workers revolt will be lifted at midnight Saturday.
The order was issued amid reports that East German Com-
munist leaders had been thrown into "panicky confusion” by the
purge of Soviet Secret Police Chief Lavrenti P. Beria in Moscow
and that workers in three big East Berlin factories threatened a
new strike.
There were unconfirmed reports also that anti-Communists blew
up a Russian military supply train in the East German area oc-
cupied by Poland, and that a bridge had been blown up also.

war if a settlement were not
reached within the limit, was one

one thing that would prevent an
immediate signing was a South Ko-
rean demand that all Communist
prinsoners be moved into the armis-
tice neutral zone for exchange.
It was known, however. Presi-
dent Eisenhower this week for the
first time actually authorized Gen.
Mark W. Clark to sign an armis-
tice.
Mr. Eisenhower made the decis-
ion Wednesday during a series of
conferences with diplomatic, mili-
tary, and White House advisers.
At his news conference the same
day he was cautious about predict-
ing how the negotiations with
Rhee would turn out. But informed
sources said the administration ac-
tually knew a week ago the aged
Korean president was relaxing .his
stand.
In his announcement in Koaea,
Rhee shed little light on the exact
nature of his “understanding,” al-
though he did say it was not a
“definite agreement” and that a
“final decision" would have to
come from the United States.
