And, says an unclassified report of the 8th U. S. Army in Korea, training by the North Korean Army in con ventional warfare has been beefed up, making it a much stronger force than that faced by United Nations forces in the Korean War. The report, designed to in form American soldiers in Korea about the North Kore an Army, said the latter in structs its forces in both of fensive and defensive nuclear warfare, but that the empha sis lies on defensive atomic training. High level U. S. Armv sources here said U. S. intelli gence reports indicate the North Koreans do not have any nuclear weapons despite a claim to the contrary by a South Korean official earlier this ' year. That claim was made by Lee Soo Young, a former army colonel and cur rently South Korean repre sentative to the United Na tions. These sources said North Korea has "no nuclear capa bility at present." But thev said there is little doubt the Soviet Union would provide nuclear weapons of all types in event hostilities were re newed here. Although emphasis is on training for nuclear warfare, the North Korean Army is not neglecting training in conven tional warfare. The 8th Army report said training in today's North Ko rean Army "is based upon Soviet and Communist Chi nese tactical doctrines . . . fol lowing Soviet doctrine, Ko rean communists do not be lieve that nuclear warfare has diminished the decisive sig nificance of the infantry arm, so they have strengthened in fantry firepower, mobility and communications. "This increase in firepower has been the most important improvement in the North Korean army, which now is stronger than it was before the Korean war." The report said the 350,-000-Man North Korean army is being trained by Russian and ' Communist Chinese ad visers and technicians. It said the North Korean army, "in spite of the fact that (it) lacks certain ad vanced skills and sophisti cated weapons, should hos tilities be resumed, (it) would present a far more formidable opponent on the battlefield than did the ill-trained, under- equipped North Korean sol diers encountered by the U N. forces in the fighting between 1950 and 1953."

However, the visit was cancelled. tUPI) Hllie Sol Estes Rated in Texas As Wheeler-Dealer, Junior Grade Editor's note: In another of a series of dispatches on the rise of Billie Sol Estes, UPI National Reporter Harry Ferguson explores the troubles that now beset his business empire. By HARRY FERGUSON Pecos, Tex.-UPIuWhen Tex- ans want to express their ad miration for a bold, spectacu lar business man. thev sav: 'He's a wheeler dealer." Bil lie Sol Estes, now under fed eral indictment in connection with the collapse of his $150 million business empire, was wheeler dealer, junior grade. He never was rich in the sense that such Texas tycoons as H. L. Hunt and Clint Mur chison are rich. Their annual incomes probably exceed Es tes' gross assets in his best years. But he was a towering man in west Texas and the town of Pecos, population 15,000, is the little pond in which he grew to be such a big frog. bstes arrived here 12 years ago with one suitcase, a bat- icrea Driel case and a ques tion: "Where can 1 find honest real estate dealer?" He found one and started raising cotton. He was 25 years old then, and five years later he had made his first million. He is 37 years old today. Before the roof fell in he controlled or had an interest in 40 com panies, had a fleet of Cadil lacs (even the servants used one) and .owned two private airplanes. In 1953 the Junior Chamber of Commerce voted him one of the nation's 10 outstanding young men. "I have been close to Billie Sol for 10 years," said a Pe cos businessman, "and I still can't explain what makes him tick." Persuasive Salesman Everybody is in agreement that he is a high - pressure, hypnotic salesman. This cor respondent had a personal demonstration of it Monday when he rang the door bell at Estes" $150,000 ranch house. Mrs. Estes answered the door, and went into an other part of the house to summon her husband. Promptly there appeared a short, stocky man wearing a blue sports shirt and black slacks bulging under what could become a sizable paunch. The eyes gleamed alertly behind glasses as this correspondent explained that he had come to Pecos to generate times the Estes side of the storyldren, four and would like to have an in terview. He said he could make no comment, and then launched his sales talk: I can see you are an in telligent man. I know you are going to do a good job on this because I am sure you always do a good job. I wish in my heart I could help you. But all I can do is wish you good luck and thank you for coming to our great state of Texas." Corny But Effective It was corn as high as an elephant's eye, but delivered with such fervor and surface sincerity that this correspond ent departed with an exagger ated opinion of himself. It is easy to understand how Estes could persuade men to sign on the dotted line, sometimes without reading what they were signing. From his early youth, Estes' reading centered on the col lected works of Horatio Alger Jr. and the Bible. But he did more than read Alger. He be came an Alger hero himself at the age of 12 by going into business. As he tells It, his parents gave him a ewe lamb for Christmas, and he sold its wool for enough money to buy another lamb. Then an other until, when he was 15, he had a flock of 100. And then - and this was to be the shape of things to come -he diversified his interested and invested some money in pigs. By the time he was 18 he is said to have been worth $38,000 and adults were offer ing to invest money In his agricultural enterprises. Billie Sol was off on a 20-year career during which he would build a pyramid worth $150 million. Credits the Bible Estes has said he owes all his success to an application of the teachings of the Bible to business. 'There are two things Billie Sol cm do real fast," said a Pecos business man. "He can quote the Bible and he can whip a financial statement out of His pocket with the speed of lightning. Several months ago he took a piece of paper out of his pocket and asked me: "Would you like to know how much money I made last month?" Estes is a deacon and a lay preacher in the Church of Christ. It is an austere church and Billie Sol carries its teach ings to the point that he seg regates the sexes in his big swimming pool. Children are welcome to use it but boys and girls must swim at sep- He has five chil glrls and a boy ranging down from 14 years, but they are not allowed to wear shorts. He does not drink or' smoke and before he retired behind the closed doors of his ranch house, he frequently startled the residents of Pecos by leav ing all the Cadillacs in the carport and traveling to his office on a bicycle. People here say he is a sharp, ruthless man in a business deal, that he has driven small competi tors out of business and will sit up half the night figuring how to cut a corner. Helps Hundreds But there are hundreds of poor people in this vicinity who have received loans of $100 from him to buy gro- C 7 Youth Aquatic School Sponsored By Red Cross The American Red Cross, In a joint endeavor of the Jackson county and Klamath Basin chapters, will conduct a Youth Aquatic school to train young people in basic boating, canoeing, lifesaving, water safety and first aid at Ashland.

One of Five Market Purchases Multiple Wilmington, Del. - (UPH - A study by the du Pont Co. as Alexander the Great once shows one ot every five super- I a map and sighed cerics. He never expected the loans to be repaid. He has an over-riding fear of commu nism and believes Moscow will capture the poor people unless he helps them personal ly. Estes seems to believe that the deity is looking over his shoulder all the time and checking up on him. "If God can watch the fall ing of every sparrow," he once said, "He certainly has time to keep an eye on business men." There was a time when Estes was less reticent about publicity. In the past two years he has been interviewed by many Texas papers and they were collected in a pamphlet published by Billie Sol Estes Enterprises. The title of the pamphlet is "Success."

Two money grants have been received for the arbore tum and Sunset magazine is enthusiastic over the project, he said. The magazine is con sidering supplying labels for the plantings, Cordy said. County Judge Earl Miller reminded him that the county court and budget committee Is considering putting in a build ing close to the arboretum area. County Commissioner Chester Wendt asked if Cordy would consider any other lo cation. Cordy said the land was already prepared.
