This view was based on Peip-ing and Pyongyang broadcasts which distorted the Allied attitude, making it appear the Allies were demanding a line much farther north than the present fighting Thus, the UN source theorized, the Communists would be able to accept the 'fighting front as the cease-fire line and still foster the Impression they had wrung con cessions from the Al'ies.

(The Peiping radio quoted the 1 Kaesong correspondent of the Tientsin Progressive Daily as saying that U. S. senators, American radio announcers and the press were "howling for establishment of the buffer zone between Coincidence Determines Victims of Explosion I Coincidence seemed to be working overtime Thursday afternoon when the Kimo blast seemed to select certain people for its victims. Some sound on the screen frightened Bobby Darnall and he fled his balcony seat only to run into the heart of the blast which killed him. One of the injured wasn't there for the show at all.

EIGHTH ARMY HEAD- 3 Advances of more than two miles on the central Korean front were recorded by attacking Allied troops Thursday against slight Red resistance. Size of the Allied movement on the front south-southeast of Kum-song was not disclosed by. an Eighth Army communique, but it referred to "patrols ranging forward of attacking forces." Only platoon-sized Red elements were found, with contact light.

The advance was air-supported. Fifth Air Force pilots reported they out five Red gun positions and inflicted an esti mated 100 casualties on the enemy.1 Light pre-dswn probing attacks were made by the Reds -on both sides 12 miles southwest and 30 miles southeast of Kumsong but they were reported repulsed. Besides the close-support missions, airmen flew a variety of raids on North Korea. F-84 Thunderjets hit anti-aircraft gun positions at Pyongyang and Sunsan With results described as "excellent." F-80 Shooting Star jets bombed a tunnel and rail line south of Kangdong, while 24 Marine Corsairs dive-bombed five North Korean road bridges. The Pyongyang radio claimed without confirmation that five Allied planes were shot down Thursday.

Mass ing testified, she believed he was employed in the State Department's Western European Division. Duggan was connected with the department's Latin American Division, she said. Mrs. Massing was called before the Senate's Internal Security subcommittee, which is trying to ascertain whether subversive influences at home have affected United States policy in the Far East. Chairman McCarran Nev.) described the witness as an ex-Communist who "operated on the higher level and who was in the know." Loyal Employe After Duggan's death, the Justice Department said an FBI investigation showed he.

was a "loyal employe" of the Government. Senator Nixon then a representative, reported the House Un-American Activities Committee also had given Duggan a clean bill of health. Mrs. Massing testified that Dug gan was much easier to "reach than Field. She said she was able to suggest to Duggan "that he could be of help to us" after only a few meetings, but that it required about nine months to bring Field into the fold.

Senator Ferguson Mich.) asked whether the two men had any doubt that she was a Communist. "Oh, no." Mrs. Massing replied emphatically.

There was no panic, and Theater. Manager Ray Hazlett said the evacuation from the theater was orderly. Fire-fighting equipment and virtually every ambulance in the city was summoned. Doctors were alerted and both Kirtland Air Force Base and Sandia Base sent ambulances, doctors and medical technicians. Blames Water Heater Fire Chief Art Westerfeld blamed the explosion on a small (six to eight-gallon) electric water heater under the stairway on the east side of the theater lobby.

Force of the blast bulged the wall across from the stairway, sent plaster flying through the theater. The Darnall child had gone to the movie with Lou Ellen, 11, and Ronald, 7, children of Mrs. C. A. Ross, 355 Tulane Place.

Lou Ellen said some sound frightened Bobby and he ran for the stairs. Lou Ellen followed. "He got too far ahead of me, Lou Ellen told her mother, Mrs. C. 'Ross, 355 Tulane Place.

"Then there was a big noise and everyone started running. I saw a tiny little girl calling for her rriother and was afraid she would get trampled so I took her with me." Lou Ellen' found her little brother right away, escorted the two youngsters out of the theater, but saw Bobby Darnall no more. Mrs. A. R.

The news in that announcement seemed to be the Communist choice of the word "deep." fMtinaed an race Two President Truman said to day he doesn't think Gen. Dwight D.

Eisenhower's European duties will interfere if the general is in a political frame of mind in 1952. A restrained and indirect discussion of the possibility that Eisenhower might be a 1952 presidential, candidate something the general won't comment on him- tself dominated the weekly White House news conference. Eisenhower is doing a magnificent job in Europe as head of the North Atlantic defense forces, Mr. Truman said, and he thought he would continue there as long as necessary. The President declined tcr speculate on how long that might be.

He said that under any conditions, Eisenhower would put duty to the country first. -Other Matters On other matters, Mr. Truman said: 1. He plans to fly to San Francisco for the opening of the conference called for signing the Japanese peace treaty, Sept. 4.

Asked whether this would preclude any presidential "whistle stop" campaigning across the country this fall, the President replied it would at this particular time. 2. His statement on wages, in h's denunciation of the new controls law Tuesday night, speaks for itself. In that statement, Mr. Truman said that "to the extent that this act permits prices and the cost of living to rise, it will be necessary to allow reasonable adjustments in wages." Mr.

Truman shed no new light on what he will do himself in, 1952 buat a White House caller, Democratic Gov. Frank J. Lausche of Ohio, reported later in the day that he (Lausche) had urged him to run again. i Another White House news conference topic the case of Democratic National Chairman William M. Boyle had an afternoon repercussion.

It was a precaution taken by first officers to arrive who were not able to appraise immediately how many were killed and injured. And for a time after the blast there was fear of other explosions The fire department finally got five pieces of equipment four trucks and the big aerial ladder truck on the scene, but not without some difficulty.

Fire Chief Art Westerfeld's big red Buick convertible, which stands right at the fire station door, refused to start. Firemen finally pushed it out into the street and out of the way and two fire trucks roared out, headed for the The ladder truck also balked. Westerfield' said its carburetion system got "flooded," but finally it cleared up, the motor started and the truck rolled away. The chief's car also got going with some coaxing and Westerfeld arrived in the wake of the fire-fighting apparatus. The chief indicated both his convertible and the ladder truck would get thorough motor checkups today.

In addition to all the ambulances -in the city, Kirtland Field sent two ambulances, a doctor and five medical technicians. Sandia Base sent three ambulances. Adm. Thomas Settle Heads 8th Naval District NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 2 (P Rear Adm.
