Communists Threaten
New All-Out Offensive
Clearing Agenda Quickest Pinups Posse
Way To Cease-Fire
V.
\
PANMUNJOM, Korea, Nov. 15 (UP) — The Communists
have made a thinly-veiled threat Thursday to unleash a
new all-out offensive in Korea unless the United Nations
a^ree at once to a cease-fire line.
The United Nations retorted that the quickest way to stop
the shooting in Korea is to clean up the full armistice agenda
including arrangements for the release of thousands of Unit-
ed Nations war prisoners in Communist hands.
A United Nations communique^
said the joint armistice subcom-
mittee meeting "failed to bring the
two sides any closer to agreement."
The subcommittee will meet again
at 11 am. Friday <8 p.m. Thurs-
day CST.
The indirect threat to loose a
new full-scale Hrd offensive
against the Alltext line first wa--
made in the subcommittee Wed-
nesday, but wa* disclosed pub-
licly by the Communists Thurs-
day.
Copies Distributed
Communist newsman-propagan-
dists distributed copies of the
statement made by North Korean
Gen. Lee Sang Cho. A UN spokes-
man said the quotation given was
substantially correct.
The statement was:
"If your side fails to take due
account of our strength and
dream* of using so-called military
pressure to change the military
demarcation line which has been
fixed, I must point out that the
changes in the actual line of con-
tact can have two directions.
"The result of the change- may
not be what you desire."
The UN reported that the Heds
backed down at Thursday's usb-
committec session on their demand
of the previous day for a complete
Korean cease-fire In the air and
at sea as well as on the ground.

Atrocity Story To Be

LONDON, Nov. 15 (UP)—A Netherlands newspaper pub-
lished a report today that Soviet Premier Josef Stalin was
suffering from hardening of the heart muscles and might
have to undergo an operation.
The newspaper Algemeen Dagblad of Rotterdam quoted
reports which, it said, had reached the Russian occupation
authorities in Berlin.
Allied officials in Berlin said the reports were merely in

I suw an article In The Washing-

A man could drink up his house
but couldn’t drink his lot. And if
he had drinking Insurance on the
house, he could then rebuild with
a modern structure.
If the owner didn't drink, he
could pav some bum a small fee,
plus the house, to drink it up for
him in order that he might collect
the insurance.
