20--Fqirbonkj Daily Newt-Miner, Wednesday, October 30, 1968 Situation in Korea At Explosive Point WASHINGTON (AP) Gen. Charles H. Bonesteel III, U.N. commander In South Korea, said here today North Korea is "more openly belligerent and ready" to cause trouble than at any time since 1953. "I think it is fair to say that with the exception of the conflict in Vietnam, nowhere else in the world today is there so direct and inflammable a confrontation as there is along Korea's QMZ," he said.

Bonesteel's remarks came a day after the Pentagon delayed, according to Defense Department sources, announcing an exercise airlifting troops to South Korea. Purpose of the delay, the sources said, is to avoid endangering the Paris peace talks. Bonesteel, also commander of the U.S. 8th Army, said fire is exchanged along the Korean DMZ--demilitarized every day or night. Bonesteel told the Association of the United States Army that 100 U.S.

and South Korean troops have been killed and 200 wounded in more than 200 fire fights so far this year. Since September 1966 hostile actions by the North Koreans have killed 33 U.S. soldiers and officers, he said. "Although 15 years have passed since the signing of the armistice, Korea is still without real peace, and the Korean war isn't fully over," the general stated. "In fact the situation in 1968 is probably more unstable and North Korea more openly belligerent and ready, willing and able to cause trouble than at any time since 1953." Bonesteel said the Communists are waging "porous warfare" against South Korea, sending highly trained agent-infiltrators by land and sea into the South to attack U.N.

personnel and conduct other forms of subversion. Bonesteel commands two U.S. divisions plus assorted support units and more than 500,000 South Koreans. Opposing him, he said, is a 'Veil equipped and highly dedicated" army of over 300,000 men organized into 25 small but powerful divisions. Bonesteel said Soviet weapons and equipment have greatly im- proved North Korea's mobility and fire power.

The North Korean air force "which was virtually nonexistent in 1963, is today a formidable force of well over 500 MIG fighters and IL28 bombers," he added. The announcement of the Pentagon airlift was due Monday. It was uncertain how long formal disclosure would be withheld. NEW YORK (AP) The National Broadcasting Co. said today that Richard M.

Nixon's campaign forces have withdrawn a television commercial which Hubert H. Humphrey's forces called a "smear." "It is not NBC's decision whether to run the commercial or not, but the Nixon-Agnew campaign committee has decided to withdraw that particular commercial from all future broadcasts," an NBC spokesman said. Medical Costs Soar Over Past 21 Years Wallace Vote Key Factor In niinois Governor Race Some Residents of Siberia Can Get Election Results Over Radio Station in Nome NOME, (AP) Alaska Eskimos, Aleutian island fishermen and any interested residents of far eastern Siberia will be able to hear American presidential election returns next Tuesday as fast as radio listeners in the lower 48 states. That is, if the northern listeners are tuned to KICY at Nome, the western-most link on the Associated Press news wire in North America. The next nearest station on the circuit is more than 500 air miles away, at Fairbanks.

KICY is the only AM radio station in the western half of Alaska. Although KICY doesn't program specifically for its Siberian listeners, portions of the Siberian mainland, only 200 miles away across the Bering Sea are well within its broadcast range. The station's main coverage area, says station manager Ralph Fondell, is from Point Hope on the Chukchi Sea to the Aleutians. Fondell has a map marked with pins locating the distant points that have reported hearing the station's broadcasts. He struck up a correspondence with a Russian engineer who tuned him in at Vladivostok.

At the same time the first election results come over the AP wires in Chicago and Kansas City next Tuesday, they will be received at Nome. And at the same time they are being broadcast to the metropolitan centers of the Eastern Seabord, they will be heard by Eskimos, prospectors and military men at lonely outposts in the remote reaches of Alaska. KICY is owned by the Arctic Broadcast a subsidiary of the Evangelical Covenant Church of America. It devotes 25 per cent of its 17-hour broadcast day to religious programming, and for the rest offers a variety of music and news, some in the Eskimo language. It shares its anchor position on the AP wire with the tri- weekly newspaper in this city of 2,500, the Nome Nugget.

A regular public service feature of the station, the Ptarmigan Telegraph, will be instrumental in speeding election returns from the far north to the rest of Alaska and the nation. The telegraph can only be described as a personals column of the air. At one point during Alaska's August primary election, when returns from the bush started to taper off, the "Telegraph" went into operation with an appeal to village election officials to call in their re- Boeing Quarter Earnings Higher PHILADELPHIA (AP) The Boeing reporting improved third-quarter earnings, said Monday profits will decline next year because of an anticipated drop in 707 and 727 deliveries. Third quarter sales, announced at a directors' meeting at Boeing's Vertol division, were $796,263,000 and net earnings (2,376,000, or $1.17 a share. This compares with sales of $713,918,000 and earnings of $22,360, or $1.11 a share, in the same quarter last year.

The company said a projected "temporary drop" in earning tawlt next year was attributed to about 100 fewer 707 and 727 deliveries. CHICAGO (AP) Supporters of third-party presidential candidate George C. Wallace may hold the key to an Illinois governor race matching two men whose biggest apparent differences are age and how often they smile. At factory gates everywhere workers wearing Wallace buttons ignore Democrat Samuel H. Shapiro, the 61-year-old incumbent, and Richard B.

Oglivie, 45, the Republican challenger. "The question is how many of them will vote for Wallace and go home, forgetting the state ticket," says an aide to Yale educated Oglivie. Shapiro served 14 years in the state legislature before serving two terms as lieutenant governor behind Gov. Otto Kerner. When Kerner quit to take a federal judgeship in March, Shapiro moved up.

Ogilvie is a former UMS. special prosecutor of crime syndicate hoodlums and a Republican intruder in Mayor Richard J. Daley's Chicago Democratic stronghold. Ogilvie barged into Daley's territory in 1962 with an upset victory in the race for Cook County sheriff. In 1966, Ogilvie, with Sen.

Charles H. Percy at the top of the ticket, won the patronage- rich presidency of the County Board of Commisioners. Neither Shapiro, who wears a constant smile, nor Ogilvie, a stocky, stern-faced man, pos- ACROSS 1. Vampire '28. While 4.

Both have based their campaigns on records in their respective fields. Shapiro and Ogilvie differ little on the key issues. Neither candidate is willing to support a state income tax as a solution for Illinois' fiscal problems. Both parties have strongly endorsed a constitutional convention proposition which would allow fiscal restructuring. WASHINGTON (AP) Hospital bills have more than tripled -and doctors' fees more than doubled in the past 21 years, according to a government report.

The overall rise in medical prices during the period was 50 per cent greater than the general rise in living costs, the Labor Department said today. And the report had an answer for why few doctors will make house calls any more. "With an overload of patients, physicians in some cases have tried to discourage the practice of making house calls by raising the rate for such service to a level that few patients are willing to pay," the report said. The shortage of doctors and other medical personnel was cited as a major factor in the rise in medical costs, coupled with a rise in demand because of medical insurance that has made better care available to millions. Drug prices have remained relatively stable, according to the report.

The report said that since 1946 hospital room rates have sky- rocketed 354 per cent and doctors' fees climbed 107 per cent All medical costs averaged out to a rise of 125 per cent. This compared with a rise of 71 per cent over the same period for all living costs measured by the government, including housing, clothing, transportation, recreation and medical care. Accident Delays Chinese Missiles HONG KONG (AP) the Hong Kong Star said today an accident on an intermediate range test missile on the launching pad has delayed Red China's long-range missile program. The report could not be verified here. U.S.

military authorities reported last month that Red China was nearly a year behind schedule in testing its first long-range missile. "The increasing demand for hospital services has forced hospitals to expand both their facilities and their staffs, pushing costs upward," said the report. But while wage costs account for some 65 per cent of hospital operating costs, it is due more to a vast expansion in the number of workers than to high wages, the report said. Advanced medical technology, more expensive equipment, and specialization by doctors--all adding up to better medical care--has also been responsible for some of the rapidly rising costs, the report said. The report noted that doctors' fees rose 7.8 per cent in 1966, while dentists increased their charges only 4.6 per cent "One possible reason for the disparity is the fact that few consumers have health insurance covering dental care while over 80 per cent of the population has some kind of coverage for physicians' fees," it said.

Fondell said the message started the returns rolling in by the shortwave and radio telephone network that serves rural Alaska. Because of the six-hour time difference between the East Coast and Nome, Western Alaska voters probably will know the outcome of the presidential election before their polls close. Any Soviet listeners, however, will be getting their results a day late because of a local peculiarity. They will be on the Wednesday side of the International Line.

So they then offered a bill (HB 686 am) that would put it on the a great cost to the state. Anderson, Holm, Wright and Young voted for this bill.
