Chinese Reds Seize Four ROK Guards Seoul, Korea (U.R) The Ko rean government said today a fleet of Chinese Communist ves sels battled a Korean patrol boat in a deliberate "act of war" Christmas morning and captured four coast guardsmen. The government called on the United States and other allies to "join with us in immediate measures of defense and coun ter attack" against the Commu nists who attacked off the South west Korean coast. U. S. authorities took a calm er view of the incident and a spokesman for the Far East Command said in Tokyo no new orders had been issued to the U.N. or ROK navies. Korean officials said the 5V hour battle occurred 40 miles off the coast when a Coast Guard cutter sighted 14 Chinese Com munist boats fishing inside the 60-mile-wide "Rhee Line."

Design ; Makes 'Roughing' More Luxurious Chicago (U.R) There may be something new on the shores of Gitchie Gumie. New tents that make "rough ing it" more luxurious, yet bring more of the outdoors in doors, have been developed at the Illinois Institute of Tech nology. Students at IIT have been working on the tent design proj ect with an eye toward provid ing more openness than in tra ditional camp shelters, a reduc tion of 10 degrees in the inside temperature, greater flexibility in selection of camp sites. An other goal was to choose, ma terials that are easy to take care of. Charles Forberg, assistant pro fessor at IIT and head of the project, said the structures will be used for experiment by the Chicago YMCA, and if they prove successful, tne organiza tion plans to use them exclusive' ly on some of its property. One of the new demountable shelters for year-round use has a iiDergiass SKyiignt that per mits sunlight to enter the cabin but deflects much of the heat of the sun. It also allows for continuous ventilation through folding plywood vents at the lower edge of the roof and through vents at the ridge point. The cabin can be constructed on a concrete slab with inside floor space of 16 by 20 feet, and it provides sleeping quarters for eigftt campers and a councillor. Height of the structure is 13 Vz feet at the ridge point. Special double - deck bunks were developed to fit into the slope on one side of the tent. leaving the other side open for. cabin activities. Space created between the beds by the slope will be used for storage units. The fiberglass roof panel, to gether with the five other roof panels of corrugated aluminum, can be assembled on the ground and then tilted into position to speed up construction. Three plywood doors, painted brilliant blue and white, open out at either end of the shelter io mane xne outdoors seem closer, and glass fiber screening protects campers from insects. Forberg said another type of demountable shelter, planned for summer use only, has a top of specially coated nylon with a surface of aluminum, pigment. He explained it is only half the weight of usual tent material, has a greater resistance to rot and abrasion than canvas, and reflects, more of the heat of the sun.
