I Herald Photo MernsL Harold A. Carmichael of Edgerton street, a call fireman, uses water from a pack tank to extinguish the grass fire yesterday on Strongs avenue. The fire, one of a series that has kept Rutland firemen on the go over the week-end, was the last straw for Fire Chief Alfred H. Koltonski, who, after conferring with Mayor.

Dan J. Healy, issued an order that no outside fire be built except in incinerators until further notice. BY ROBERT TCCKMAN. MUNSAN. Korea, April 21 UP).

(Monday) Allied truce negotiators asked the Reds Sunday for a realistic counter-proposal on the critical issue of airfield construction during any Korean armistice. The issue is one of three remaining major obstacles to an armistice. The others are Russias role in post-armistice Korea and prisoner exchange. The meetings on truce supervi sion were resumed at the staff of fleer level Sunday for the first time in two weeks. The Allied officers told the Communists they must take some forward step on the airfield issue if Jhere was to be any progress in the stalled talks.

The United Nations command demands restrictions on the construe tion or repair of military airfields because of the threat of growing Communist air power. The Reds contend such restrictions would be interference in North Korean internal affairs. CoL Don O. Darrow, chief Allied staff officer in the truce supervision sessions, told the Reds also that the question of whether Russia should be one of the neutral nations enforcing an armistice was no longer a problem inasmuch as there already exists a solution which should be acceptable to both sides. He was referring to the Allied suggestion that the number of neutral inspectors be reduced from six to four, with the UN command withdrawing Norways nomination if the Reds drop Russia.

The other nominees are Sweden, Switzerland, Poland, Czechoslovakia. "The fact that your side refused to recognize this solution only delays the progress of the negotiations, Darrow added. North Korean CoL Chang Chun San, the principal Communist negotiator, replied blandly that there could be no progress if the Allies persist in unreasonable demands." The staff officers session on prisoner exchange adjourned Sunday after 43 minutes of secret discussion. If there was any progress on the problem of releasing captives it was shrouded in the mutually-observed news blackout on the subject. NEPALESE MINISTERS IN INDIA TO DISCUSS LOAN.

KdJ TAKES IP THE 1952 Flood Battle Still Raging (Continued from Page One.) would be slightly under the record level of 27.2 there.

Tired flood fighters from the north, trying to beat the surge downstream, joined in a hard battle to save Sherman Air Force base at Leavenworth, Kan. There the level of the field was 9 feet below the rising flood water but the dikes were holding. More than a thousand men struggled at the base. Boats were standing by and during the night the crews wore life A warning system was set up to get the men out in time if the sandbag barrier gave way. Sand boils were developing on the soggy airfield as tremendous water pressure pushed underground.

forcing water up behind the levee. CoL J. L. Lincoln, district Army engineer at Kansas City, held to his forecast that the flood would cause no trouble at Kansas City. In fact, he said, the situation in general looked a little better today along the Missouri.

The Missouri flood this time wont come near equalling last years disaster at the twin Kansas Cities. Last July the troublesome Kaw (Kansas) river poured a volume of about 510,000 cubic feet of water a second into the Missouri at Kansas City. This time the is1 1 Missouri carried about 400,000 cubic feet at its height in Omaha. Engineers say the Kansas City levees are stout enough and high enough now to keep the river under controL Just the same, some cautious industries moved equipment out of the rich Fairfax industrial district on the valley floor. Others got ready to go if something unforeseen happened.

River forecaster E. C. Corkill at Kansas City said no heavy rains are in sight but he warned that the weather can change fast here in the midlands. An inch or two of rain in the wrong places would spell trouble. FATHER OP TWO DROWNS IN FISHING BOAT UPSET.

Bid Ignored By Truman (Continued from Page One.) senators are pressing for a Senate vote tomorrow on a rider to an appropriations bill rider which would in effect veto the seizure action by forbidding anyone on a federal payroll from implementing the Presidents action.

Approval requires a two-thirds majority. Senator Douglas meanwhile, said he thinks both sides in the steel labor dispute, centering on wages and compulsory union membership, have discussed it in a somewhat heated and intemperate manner (which) has tended to confuse and inflame the public. Douglas, in a broadcast by Illinois radio stations, did not discuss the legal aspects of the seizure, but he said he thinks Truman was intemperate and Exaggerated in his estimate of steel company profits. When he seized the industry on April 8, Truman said the companies could afford to pay out of their profits the cost of a wage increase which the government has recommended be granted to Philip Murrays CIO Steelworkers union. Since seizure, as before it, the government has been prodding the union and the companies in an effort to settle the dispute.

Murray is holding out for the wage boost suggested by the wage stabilization board (WSB). The companies say they cannot afford to pay it without increasing their prices about $12 a ton a boost the administration will not approve. Secretary Sawyer has indicated he intends to order new pay scales and working rules into effect tomorrow or Tuesday. The industry is prepared to fight any such directive in the courts. Sawyer was believed about ready to put into effect the full 26-cent pay increase package recommended by the WSB.

This includes an immediate 12-cent hourly raise for 650,000 union members in the basic steel industry, with 2 -cent raises in July and next January, plus other benefits. Average earnings nov are just under $2 an hour. BENNINGTON MAN GETS GUGGENHEIM FELLOWSHIP. NEW YORK, April 20 UP).

Blazes Off-Duty Firemen Summoned by Alarm as Brush Fires Ring Rutland.

Off-duty and extra firemen were summoned to the aid of overworked regular firemen yesterday as they continued their battle against wind-whipped brush blazes in all outlying sections of the city over the week-end. At 4 p. m. yesterday fireman Patrick Hurley jumped into Engine 3 alone to answer a fire-call near the Eastern States building on Strongs avenue. He was the last man on the regular shift.

The next call came in before anyone had returned to the station, making it necessary to blow the whistle to call the eight off-duty men and six call men back to the job. Out of the 12 alarms yesterday, firemen said the worst in the city was on West street back of the Temple Brothers Memorial shops at 12 noon. Fire had worked its way into a rubbish dump full of tar paper and dry wood. A hose was laid from the nearest hydrant to protect the buildings, and the fire was allowed to bum itself out in the Greens Hill area between the railroad tracks and Otter creek. The fire at the Eastern States lot, 86 Strongs avenue, blazed around an empty box car and threatened the buildings in the vicinity.

Firemen of Engine 1, returning from another grass fire, came to Hurleys aid and put the fire out before buildings or box car were damaged. Other grass fire calls yesterday came from the corner of Forest and South streets, Bellevue avenue (twice), Killington avenue (twice). Pine hill, Tampax, Kingsley court, the West Proctor road, and 122 Forest street. The 14 grass fire calls Saturday were from 50 Cleveland avenue, 129 Post street, 75 Killington avenue, 191 North Main street, 107 Harrington avenue. Field avenue and Grove street, 11 North Main street, 8 Kingsley avenue, 97 Wood-stock avenue, Woodstock and Tre-mont street Stratton road and Allen street 16 Jasmin Lane, 23 Hopkins street and -James street.

A false alarm was also turned in Saturday from a box at 82 Wood-stock avenue. Eden in New Bid to End Egyptian Row LONDON, April 20 UP).
