The reports, originating with some Democratic House mem bers, had previously been denied by Dulles and the White House. NO REAL DIFFERENCE Chairman Walter F. George (D-Ga) of the Senate Foreign Re lations Committee told reporters "I don't know of any real dif ference in viewpoint." Senate GOP leader William F. Knowland (Calif) said he also does not "believe there is any foreign policy difference." It was learned meanwhile that Nationalist China has informed the United States that Its forces on Quemoy and Malsu will fight to the 'bitter end against a Red attack, regardless of whether U.S. forces join in defending the islands. RED CHINA 'FIRM' . Diplomatic officials said Red China Is also "standing firm" In lis proclaimed determination to "liberate" the islands, as well as Formosa, even at the cost of: great bloodshed.

Identification of the 3 bodies found was not available. The Air Force said the climbers were digging for the other 2 despite a threatening storm. The 3 searchers Jim Shane, Harold Goodro and a third man whose name was not available braved avalanches to reach the destroyed plane. MOST TURNED BACK The steep, snow-covered moun tainside was so dangerous, with great banks of wind-carved snow hanging from cliffs overhead, that the main body of searchers had turned hack to a base camp down the slope. But - the 3 men pressed on. Meanwhile, the men who return ed to camp had sent for Army 75 millimeter recoilless rifles to shoot the snow down in case the parly of 3 was forced to turn back, but the hand-carried ar tillery apparently will not be needed now. , . ;icrA:n 'fi 3 " II I J m v-hy...

Both camels are of a Bactrian, 2-humped species native to Asia, where they are used as beasts of burden. Abdullah's humps might easily be overlooked now, for they hang to one side and will not fill out for some time. Abdullah is Olga's ninth offspring since her ' arrival at the zoo in 1938.

Farm experts said Friday's vio lent winds ripped up half of Colorado's 3 million-acre winter wheat crop at a loss of an esti mated $50 million. In Wyoming, a single county suffered crop damage to 45,000 acres. But in Kansas, the nation's breadbasket, the wheat crop with stood the storm without major damage. There was a brief respite from the severe dust storms Saturday, but more high winds were fore cast and already had mounted to 3040 miles per hour in portions of Kansas, kicking up dust at Garden City, Goodland, Hill City and Dodge City. Visibility was cut to three fourths of a mile at Hill City. Fridays winds hit 100 miles per hour at Douglas, Wyo., and sent a cloud of dust towering 19,000 feet across Kansas, Mis souri, Arkansas and Texas. It was one of the worst storms since the disastrous dustbowl era of the 1930s. WEDGWOOD . a living tradition Forty per cent of all families in the United States own one or more musical instruments.

Last week's spectacular erup tions in the Kalatiea volcano field were preceded by earthquakes Gordon MacDonald, volcanologist, said a new eruption may be ex pected on the basis of "adding 2 and 2 together. MacDonald recommended against permitting 500 evacuees to return to 3 coastal villages. They had hoped to return Sat urday. . He said the cracks were about' kao, both of which abandoned. There had been no eruptions since last Sunday when the big cinder cones in the Kalauea field simmered after belching forth molten rock that flowed over 2,000 acres of valuable sugar Cane fields and caused an estimated $3 million damage. MacDonald described Satur day's quakes as more numerous than Friday s when they were recorded on seismographs at the rate of 1 every 3 or 4 minutes. At least 7 of Saturday's temblors were strong enough to be felt in Ihe Pahoa area, he said. , Cook Double-Quick on this new RlMUjBE "Deluxe-25"Electric Range with sensational new msmmr IN OUR THRIFT DEPT.
