A declaration that Red China and Communist North Korea would fight to defend the Korean armistice agreement came out of Peiping today. The official People's Daily charged in an editorial broadcast by Radio Peiping that the United States "has seriously threatened the armistice agreement and peace in Asia" by sending new arms to strengthen the United Nations Command in South Korea. "The United States," it warned, "must be responsible for all the consequences.

He was followed by the present officers and past presidents of the Holy Name Society here, which sponsors the Corpus Christi celebration.

This first of five articles tells what l.G.Y. is, ivhat its 5,000 participating scientists hope to prove, and how they will do it.

By ALTON L. BLAKESLEE Associated Presi Science Writer New York, June 23. The greatest detective hunt in history will start in a week. It is a massive search into the profound mysteries affecting our lives. Five thousand scientists from 58 nations will conduct It, sharing all they learn.

It is the International Geophysical Year I.G.Y. beginning officially July 1 and lasting 18 months. From I.G.Y. will come new knowledge of weather and its accurate prediction greater understanding of potent cosmic rays of the dust of dying meteors of gravity that keeps you from being shot off the earth like a stone from an mighty sling. Men will explore space probe into puzzles of magnetism secrets of the oceans and glaciers and ice ages try to develop better ways of predicting earthquakes and hurricanes.

Scientists of six nations will fire hundreds of rockets in exploring the mysteries of our thin upper air the first American shot coming, suitably enough, July 4. Others will march across the frozen bottom of the world, sail the oceans, keep watch on the fiery sun, probe deep into the crust and molten heart of the earth itself. They will spend perhaps $500,000,000 in the quest, with the major share expended by the United States and Russia. But vital contributions for science and for you will come from almost the full roster of nations. All Findings Will Be Equally Shared Working together, scientists can make global and even simultaneous measurements and tests to produce new understandings of magnetism, oceans, weather, all the major physical influences upon mankind.

There will be no secrets all findings will be equally shared. l.G.Y. is concerned only with the physical aspects of our planet. But it could set a pattern for world studies into the nature and mind and health of man himself, his ways of life socially, politically, economically. "I.G.Y.

marks the first international co-operative effort by scientists of good will of many nations, without government ties, political or economic implications," says Paul-Emile Victor of France, who heads his nation's expeditions to Anarctica and Greenland. "It is a refreshing aspect to current international relations." I.G.Y. is "the outstanding scientific event of the 20th Cen-fury," says Trof. Ivan Bardin, chairman of the Soviet I.G.Y. program.

Polish scientists say they welcome I.G.Y. as an opportunity to rebuild war-broken contacts with Western scientists. I.G.Y. "promises immeasurable benefits to all," adds Dr. Lloyd V.

Christina Wennerstrom, a Swedish diplomat's 16-year-old daughter who ran away with a United States Senate page, arrived home today, with her father vowing: "These young people will not meet again if I can prevent it." Col. Stig Wennerstrom, Swedish air attache in Washington, told this to newsmen at Stockholm Airport. He had met Christina and her mother in Copenhagen on their way front the United Slates. Says Boy's Mother Aided Escape Wennerstrom blamed the mother of former Senate page lluw Williams for helping her 18-year-old son escape with Christina on the two-week elopement in the United States and Canada, during which they tried in vain to get married. "From the information I have received there are no doubts about Mrs.
