A function of the advisory group would be to interview candidates and recommend the appointment of a landscape architect by the City Council.

The advisory board would rec ommend the final site develop ment plan together with alterna tives, if appropriate, to the City Council and other interested boards and commissions. Purpose of a development plan for the park is to preserve "I h e open recreational character of the park while developing it for great er ue and enjoyment by resid ents."

Ward was whisked to the hospi tal, where he was given emergen cy treatment with oxygen but re mained unconscious for hours. Justice Marshall revoked Ward's bail and completed his charge to the jury of 11 men and one woman so they could deter mine if the osteopath was guilty of charges of living on immoral earnings and seducing young girls.

Ward spent Tuesday night in Jones' apartment. Jones who anxiously stressed on the witness stand that this amour with Miss Keeler took place before he was married refused todav to say what had happened to Ward. "I'm sorry," he said. "I am not going to talk."

T Halt tied Nearly Hopeless Quest For Quake Victims Continues SKbpJE, Yugoslavia (UPI)- The almost hopeless search for survivors buried in the ruins of this earthquake-shattered city re sumed today while engineers fought impending disease with dy namite and anti-vermin sprays. The French team leading the quest for victims of Friday's ear lv morning disaster uncovered only one survivor in the last 24 hours with their ultra-sensitive search apparatus. They found BoEdan Marckovic under tons of rubble Tuesday nicht and he was quickly flown, in serious condition, to Belgrade for treatment. But outside this once-bustling city, U.S. Army medics worked around the clock aiding injured citizens of Skopje, and the sur vivors' confidence and morale rose sharply when thev heard the GI's would stay as long as they are needed. As the French moved among the rubble piles listening for sounds as soft as a heart beat, the Yugoslav engineers set charges to bring down the men acing shells of tall buildings. Air Force planes filled with in secticide sprayed the ruins, the news ascnev Tannic said, in ad effort to prevent disease spring ing from the decaying bodies and wrecked sewage system. Yugoslav medical teams are vaccinating workers and soldiers against the two comrades ot dis aster, typhus and typhoid.

Snn)H Hands U.S. Forces Now On Full Combat Alert SEOUL (UPI) - Gen P.rir Chung Hee, strong man of South ivorcas military junta, ordered his forces today to take "proper punitive measures'Jagainst Com munist border raiders. Park issued the order tn n.. fense Minister Kim Sung Eun end Foreign Minister Kim Yong Shik after conferring with U.S. Gen. Guy S. Mcloy Jr. The proposed "punitive meas ures" were not spelled out. Earlier, the defense minister had said South Korea's 600.000 man army was alerted to fore stall any attempt "to renew the war In Korea." He said the Com munist attacks appeared to be part of a plan to increase ten sion. Kim Sung Eun made his state ments in an interview with UPI after three clashes between Amer ican soldiers and North Koreas raiders this week left three Amer. icans, four North Koreans, and one South Korean dead. U.S. forces here also have been ordered on a full combat alert for the first time since the Cuban cris is last October. We should not overlook the fact that the North Korean pup pets can renew war in Korea whenever convenient to them and whenever they are ready," Kim said. Creates Tiwiilon "In my opinion, the latest Ille gal, barbarous attacks on the U.N. troops were aimed at cre ating tension here in order to check Soviet Russia from making approaches to the West as a re sult of the Slno-Russian ideologi cal struggle," he added. (In London, informed source! said today that Communist China, which dominates' North Korea, may be planning such old-prick I Jipfjl nt uaarnaminn aa nart nt Um lanli-Sovfot campaign. (In Washington, the State De- partment said Tuesday that the Korean attacks may be part of a Peking drive to increase ten sion in Asia.) Kim said South Korean officials have no indication that the North Koreans have immediate plans to renew fighting. Since the truce ended the fighting 10 years ago this month, a state of war has continued to exist between the two halves of the peninsula, but a demilitarized zone marking off their borders has curbed inci dents. Crave Incidents The attacks on the Americans, inside South Korean territory, wire Uie gravest incident since the armistice. Kim said another reason for the Communist attacks might have been a desire to "stir opin ion among the U.S. public in fa vor of withdrawal of U.S. troops from Korea." The Communists have demand ed this withdrawal for many years. Kim said they apparently believe that by killing American soldiers they will create pressure in the United States for the re turn of the troops. But Kim and the South Korean press agreed that the most prob able reason for the attack was the militant policies of Commu nist Chins and it desire to em barrass Soviet attempts to reach a settlement of the cold war with the West.
