FIRST CAVALRY DIVISION FRONT, Korea (AP) Thirteen American soldiers were under attack for about two hours Monday inside the demilitarized sector by a patrol of North Korean raiders who launched a heavy assault with hand grenades.

Front line officers said the attack was the longest in the eight days of fresh action along the Korean front, where an uneasy truce has existed for 10 years. Seven Communists were counted in the attack which began at 2:30 a. m. So far as is known there were no Communist casualties. Three American cavalrymen received minor scratches from grenade fragments.

Troops who a few weeks ago thought only of going home have been transformed into combat soldiers seeking a meeting with the next Communist patrol that attacks south. U.S.

casualties in the past week are three dead and one wounded. The North Koreans are known to have lost four dead, the South Koreans one. There probably has been more shooting and grenade tossing in the past week than in the entire preceding year in west-central Korea, where Americans guard a portion of the 151-mile demilitarized zone that divides the nation. Youngsters who don't even remember the 1950-1953 Korean War are jaunfily boasting about getting "Joe Communist" the next time he comes south. West Point lieutenants and captains with cushy jobs in the rear are clamoring to get up front.

One young lieutenant, a general's aide, managed to get for ward Saturday and led a predawn patrol that ran into a North Korean ambush of about four men south of the demilitarized zone. The ensuing fight, in which both sides used rifles and grenades but suffered no casualties, was typical of the almost nightly clashes that have turned this quiet front into a tense sector. Communist patrols in past years have tried only to sneak infiltrators into the rear or perhaps snatch new U.S. weapons. Now they are looking for a fight.

Generals and privates alike see a definite pattern of Communist aggression, probably limited, in the making. The American theory is that the rigidly controlled North Korean patrols don't stray south by accident and that the increasing number of clashes after 10 years of uneasy truce is the result of a coldly calculated decision by the North Korean government or, as many believe, by Red China. However, there seems to be no fear in either diplomatic or military circles of an all-out attack on the scale of 1950. The U.N. troops, these circles feel, are too strong and the Reds don't dare try anything big.

About 55,000 U.S. troops in Korean, along with the South Korean armed forces, appear to have the capability of giving any army a bloody nose.

Chesleri Anderson, Marine Reservist, Dies En Route to Hospital WILLOW GROVE, Pa. (AP)-A Marine pilot was killed Sunday in the crash of a Marine AF1E jet plane 50 yards from the end of a runway at the U.S. Naval Air Station here. The pilot was Capt. Terence Chester Alderson, 28, a Marine Reservist from Hackettstown, N.

J. He is survived by his widow and an infant daughter. He ejected from the plane, but died en route to a hospital. The Fury jet plane was coming in for a landing when it appar ently went into a spin stall at 9:40 a.m., its right wing striking the ground, a navy spokesman said. 'The plane came to a halt on the runway.

The plane was the same type as one that crashed near the air station July 7 also a Sunday, killing eight persons. The pilot in the July 7 crash, Capt. John W. Butler, 30, a Marine reservist of Boiling Springs, parachuted to safety. He said he abandoned his plane when it went out of control.

The plane smashed into a nearby day camp crowded with picnickers. Arlene Heads For Mainland MIAMI, Fla. (AP) Hurricane Arlene, who popped up out of the South Atlantic and headed for the U.S. mainland as if she meant business, lost her lethal punch Sunday and was demoted to a tropical storm. The disturbance, first spotted by the Tiros weather satellite and later confirmed by Navy hurri cane-hunting aircraft, fizzled out just before hitting the Leeward Islands of Guadeloupe and Antigua.

However, chief forecaster Gor don E. Dunn of the Miami Weath er Bureau said the storm's circulation is still there and remains a potential threat. By the time Arlene, first hur ricane of tne season, was pinpointed in the South Atlantic on Friday, she was packing 100-mile an-hour winds and was heading toward the United States at between 12 and 16 miles an hour. At 11 a.m. Sunday winds had died down to 50 m.p.h.

State Legislature in hopes raised by the signing Mon day of a partial nuclear test ban treaty, U.S. and British delegations met Sunday to coordinate strategy for the vital follow-up talks with Soviet Premier Khrushchev. Both U.S. Secretary of State Dean Rusk and British Foreign Secretary Lord Home, here to sign the treaty for their countries plan to explore with Khrushchev and other Soviet leaders areas of other possible East-West agreement.

This diplomatic probe comes at a time of increasing discord between the Soviet Union and Red China, emphasized by the Kremlin's virulent attack on the Peking leadership Sunday. Westerners were startled by the bluntness of the Kremlin's anti-Peking attack on the eve of the treaty-signing the Chinese have so scathingly denounced. Even foreign Communist observers were led to predict the next step might be a rupture of Moscow-Peking relations, or at least a recall of ambassadors. Rusk skipped church services to listen to a briefing on the intra-Communist quarrel from key aides, then met with Home at the British Embassy to discuss how the West might profit from tha Moscow-Peking rift and the apparent Soviet willingness to negotiate cold war issues. But despite the importance the Russians have placed on the test-ban treaty Khrushchev has delayed a Black Sea vacation to attend the signing and the Russians are giving the ceremony full television coverage it seems doubtful that any further major cold war breakthrough is imminent.

The Kremlin has been insisting that a nonaggression pact between the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and the Communist' Warsaw Pact powers precede any other agreements. France already has turned thumbs down on a non-aggression pact, as it has on the test ban treaty, and West Germany is cool to the pact for fear it might involve some form of recognition of East Germany. The U.S. and British delegations also are pictured as wary against speculation that the Moscow-Peking rift has made Khrushchev more agreeable to Western proposals for settling such outstanding cold war issues as Berlin and Germany and disarmament. And although recognizing that the Moscow-Peking debate has worsened possibly to the breaking point Rusk sees no possibility of altering present U.S.

policy toward Red China, U.S. sources reported. Rusk was said to feel that governments organized like those of the Soviet Union and Red China are capable of making quick changes of policy if common interests were endangered. One high U.S. official said it is hard to believe the Russians would fail to come to the support of the Red Chinese if they got into trouble with the West.

He noted that the Russians, while lambasting Peking's refusal to join in the test-ban treaty, also assprtprl that the Soviet nuclear condemn tests by the Western They were next to each other on violent storm, i GLASSPORT, Pa. (AP)-A violent storm whipped by 90-mile-an-hour winds ripped through this small near. Pittsburgh Saturday night, killing two men and injuring about 70 others. Neighboring towns also suffered extensive damage that will run into the milions, although the storm saved most of its wrath for Glassport. Numerous buildings and houses were demolished as the storm lashed Glassport ferociously for about 45 minutes.

"All reports indicate it was a tornado, but we can't call it that officially," the U.S. Weather Bureau at Pittsburgh said. Glassport patrolman Lloyd Grei-nert called it a tornado, saying: "It tore the whole town apart. It came in like a whip and rolled around. You couldn't see.

The light standards at the Glass-port High School stadium were turned around and torn apart like toothpicks." Killed were William Petrosky, 41, owner of the Petrosky Hotel, and Robert Marton, 34. They were in the three-story frame hotel which was leveled by the storm. McKeesport Hospital officials said about 70 persons were brought to the hospital for treatment. Ten were admitted, two of them in serious condition. Mayor Robert Shaw declared a.

(AP) Army brass and civilian dignitaries scattered to safety Sunday as airdropped heavy equipment drifted astray during the opening of ground action for Operation Swift Strike III. A massive airdrop of about 6,000 paratroopers of the famed 82nd Airborne Division came off with few injuries near the community of Joanna, S.C, but jeeps and trucks fell among parked vehicles, helicopters and spectators' stands.

On several occasions about 300 spectators, including generals. their civilian guests, and news men stampeded in all directions to avoid the errant equipment. Top-ranking Army and Air Force officers watching the exer cise were dissatisfied with the manner in which the equipment' was dropped. Gen. Paul D.

"I saw this gentleman come sneaking across the rice paddy," the sergeant said. The privates snickered at hearing the lead man in a North Korean Communist pa trol termed a gentleman. "Anyway," said Platoon Sgt. Charles Crawford of Springfield, "I could see him coming across all sort of humped up, about 30 yards away.

"Like an idiot, I didn't throw a grenade. It was good grenade range. I opened up with my rifle and he disappeared. Didn see him again." That's how it started at 9:30 into the international narcotics traffic. That appearance has not been scheduled and is not expected this month.

These young fellows are as ready and willing as any American ever was. "There was plenty of moonlight so we formed a skirmish line and went forward firing, shooting from the hip.

But this gentleman and his friends had gone." Because their position had been revealed, the Americans moved 1,000 yards away to another "stake out" and settled down. In a few minutes, Stempien saw something. "I could see two of 'em sneaking up on us," the young soldier said. "I thought, 'Man, here they "Well, I just sort of opened up on 'em," Stempien said. "Sure, I was scared." Once again, four of the Americans jumped up from their hidden positions and moved forward, firing as they walked.

"We wanted to make sure nobody was lying out there in the grass, waiting to sneak up and throw grenades at us," Crawford said. 4 The Communists melted away in the darkness. Despite all the firing, none of the Americans suffered serious wounds. Stempien was nicked on the jaw by a grenade fragment. Communist losses, if any, weren't known.
