Cadbury, head of the century old chocolate company of Cadbury and Fry . in, England. The \ Englishman' ‘was. one of seven British business and profes sional leaders—all Quakers —who asked permission to enter 'Russia on a peace mission'. They spent two weeks in Moscow, Leningrad, and Kiev in July as guests of the Russian government, *. ' •The invitation was sought, Cad bury said, on the strength of the Quakers’ 300 years of opposition to war. The delegation—two of whom spoke Russian —was given free movement and frank inter views, he said. ' High Standard of Living - “ The Russians do not want war, the western world does not-want war,” Cadbury said in his report. “Yet war is so close that we be lieve the time-for talk is past, and peaceful action and'example are called for, “The Russians, contrary to our own expectations, have a fairly high standard of living, about the equivalent of that in England. Everyone we met and nearly everyone we saw in our travels appeared contented and adequate ly clothed and fed. '“They are entirely ignorant of conditions in the world outside. Though justly proud of their rec ord of literacy and education of the masses over the past 30 years, they measure everything by their own standards and against their own past. They think of England as Dickens described it in Oliver Twist. “They have been told, and they believe, that business interests ( in America and Great Britain, want war, or a state of near war, be cause it is profitable to them.” Church Groups Plan Programs Speakers, Bible study, a quiz program and a hymn sing are among the programs planned by local student Christian ■ founda tions for their meetings tomorrow night. t The Lutheran Student Associ ation will have a “Pastor IQ” program at 6:30 p.m. It will be modeled, on the radio show, “Doc tor IQ” with questions on Bible characters and incidents.

Communist Charges Jolt T ruce Hope MUNSAN, Korea, Saturday, Oct. 13—(/P) —A Communist charge that U.S. planes strafed Panmunjom and the Kaesong neutral zone, killing a Korean boy, rudely jolted hopes today for resumption of the long-sus pended Korean truce talks. Allied liaison officers made a preliminary investigation of the charge as isoon as it was reported Friday night and prepared to return to the scene today. But even before the investi gation, the Peiping radio de clared: Plane Strafed Area “Observers here (in Kaesong) believe that this new serious pro vocation created by the Ameri can side gives rise to deep mis givings as to whether the Ameri can side still has the slightest sincerity, in preparing for the resumption of armistice nego tiations.” The new Communist charge— latest among many—was that three American fig h t e r-type planes, flying from the southwest, wheeled over Kaesong arid strafed an area to "the northwest and the six-mile road stretch eastward to Panmunjom. Truce Camp Shocked The Reds reported that two children were hit, one killed and one wounded. They said that the alleged attack occurred at 5:35 p.m., shortly before dusk and an hour and 35 minutes after the preliminary liaison talks. The Red charge, made by tele phone at 7 p.m. (5 a.m. Friday, EST), shocked this truce .camp, where hopes had been rising that new truce talks might begin very soon. ; The liaison officers had sched uled a fourth meeting at 10 a.m. (8 p.m., Friday, EST).

A program of non-cooperation to cut off the troops’ drinking wa ter, fresh -food, and the use of Egyptian labor was forecast to follow Parliament’s abrogation, expected , Monday, of . two old treaties. Britain Will Stay These treaties authorize Britain to keep 10,000 troops, 400 pilots, and various auxiliaries on guard at the strategic canal and provide for joint British-Egyptian rule of Sudan, bordering Egypt on the south. Britain has announced she in tends to maintain her full rights under the treaties, however, and British military men here did not appear deeply concerned over the new threat. (A battalion of the South Lan cashire regiment, stationed at Trieste for three years, was or dered to be ready to embark for Sudan by Oct. 25—speeding up a long / scheduled transfer by a month. The native Sudan defense force is commanded by the Brit ish.) Supplies Could Be Flown (Oil-rich Iraq now is seeking revision of the 25-year treaty of alliance she signed with Britain in 1930. (The British Foreign office an nounced Friday the first move for revision was made by Premier Nuri A 1 Said on a visit to London last month.) > British service sources said that, even if Egypt did cut off supplies and communications, their Suez base could get along for a consid erable time because ‘it is a living system which has' its own stores, communications and power sys tems.” “Supplies could be airlifted,” one explained, if Egypt blockaded supply ships from the base. Bomb Hurled in Paris PARIS, Oct. ’ 12—(A 3 ) —Another bomb attack was made against a communist building in Paris early today. A package of explosives was hurled at the France-Russia Li brary. Two police officers were standing before the building, and were shaken by the blast, but they saw no one. It was the eighth such attack since July.

Earlier American and French troops reached the bunkered top of the northernmost peak of the ridge in the eastern front sector with a dramatic charge. That ap peared to mark a UN victory af ter more than a month of tough battle—a battle so important be cause the peaks of Heartbreak control a Communist supply route. During Friday, however, there were evidences of trouble. Die hard Reds still were fighting from deep bunkers on the slopes. The situation still was too doubt ful for American tank forces to stand by during the night, and they backed away to the main line. An Eighth Army headquarters announcement said: “In the north of Yanggu, United Nations forces occupied but did not secure a dominant hill on Heartbreak Ridge and were forced to with draw after a counterattack by a reinforced enemy platoon. While the fighting raged on, prospects of resuming truce talks were dashed by sudden Red ac cusations that three U.S. planes Friday afternoon strafed the Kae song and Panmunjom neutrality areas. The talks have been sus.- pended since Aug. 23. Jets Tangle American and Communist swept-wing jet fighters tangled again in far northwest Korea, one of an estimated 100 Red MIG 15’s going down in flames. The 32 U.S. F-86 Sabrejets damaged six other planes. The , Fifth Air Force reported no American losses. The Air Force said it brought the.war’s total score to 83 Red jets destroyed, 20 probably de stroyed, and 207 damaged.
