C M THURSDAY AFTERNOON, JUNE Id, 1953 Armistice May Be Signed in Only Few Days PANMUNJOM, Korea (IP) Staff officers speeded up the drafting of a final armistice text today while South Korea stubbornly op posed what it called a United Nations surrender. The staff officers split into two teams, one defining a cease-fire line along which the United Nations and Communist forces ore to be “frozen” when the truce is signed, the other smoothing out other details. Formal acceptances of India, Sweden Switzerland, Poland and Czechoslovakia of membership on a neutral commission to take charge of anti - communist war prisoners were expected within a few days. FIGHTING HEAVY On the battle front the Commu nists unleashed their heaviest re sults in eight months. Possibly seeking to gain a more favorable truce line, they hurled 10,000 or more men into attacks which bit into the main U. N. defense posi tions at four points. There was every indication that an aripistice might be signed with in a lew days. But in Seoul, in the wartime Korean capital, In Washington and in Paris the South Koreans sounded their protests against the armistice terms. , .WANT KOREA UNITED * They want Korea unified and they want to get'Chinese Conpnu ;• «*tt Ujsepa (Mg'of Hr Seoul id-year-old Prfildent Byngman Rhee told his people that the proposed armistice would be fatal.
