Notification was made in a letter sent to the parents by young Jack >l*ll TELEPHONES: 3117 - 3118 - 3119 Nations also were attempting to reach Russian officials there for further elucidation. The new moves came as the 16 nations with fighting forces in South Korea prepared to meet to day to discuss the cease-fire pro posal which they don't quite know how to handle withc<t further in formation . All want peace, but are afraid of being tricked. So at the meeting they probably will do little if any thing, until United States and British diplomats finish sounding out Communists on how they ex pect the war to end. The only western decisions so far have been to query the Russ ians for further details. FIRST CONFERENCE Today’s 16-power meeting at the State Department marks the first conference of all the powers that sent combat units to South Korea’s defense. South Korea Itself, which opposes any cease-fire at the 38th Parallel, has not been Invited. Diplomats attending the confer ence are being polled for any fur ther word that they might have gotten from the Communist side. U. S. and British diplomats were bombers closely supported the Al lies. sowing rockets and flaming jellied gasoline on enemy troops only 100 yards ahead of the Al lied line. It was the only real action ot .the day anywhere along the 100- mile stalemated Korean front.

Patrol Forced Back During the night, a strong Allied patrol pushed out from Its own lines to the top of a high hill north of Yanggu on the east-central front. Strong 120-millimeter enemy mor tar fire forced the patrol to pull back early today, however. North Korean troops launched a series of small-scale attacks farther east, above Inje, but all were be lieved repulsed. The Korean front had another top-level visitor today. Admiral Forrest Sherman, U .S. Chief of Naval Operations, paid a flying visit to inspect American troops in the field. of Raleigh, national adjutant, said today. t The reunion will open with registration at the Cotton Dale Hotel Saturday at 10 a. m., Cahall stated. There will be a coffee hour for the ladles at 1:30 p. m. at Johnson's Restaurant. The parade which was to be held at 3 p. m. Saturday has been call ed off, the adjutant said. City of ficials Informed Cahall that the parade would not be feasible, since the police force Is undermanned and cannot take care of the extra crowd. In addition, maneuver traffic on Broad and Cumberland streets cannot be routed elsewhere. WILL WELCOME CONGRESSMAN The opening business meeting of the reunion will be held In the Armory banquet room. At that time Mayor Ralph Hanna will welcome the veterans and Repre sentative Ertel Carlyle will deliver an address. The response will be made by the national commander, B. P.

Great Britain also was believed to have feelers out in Peiping, the Chinese Communist capital. The Anglo-Americans wanted to 1 ask the Reds: 1. Who arc the “belligerents" that you say should negotiate the cease fire? Is Communist China a bell igerent? Is Russia? Does the Soviet want in on the peace talks? 2. Would the belligerents let UN observers supervise the cease-fire and troop withdrawal? Would U.

Would the Communists agree to an immediate exchange of prisoners of war?
