Hull, Ameri can Far East commander who ar rived here Thursday lor confer ences at the Pentagon. The French embassy said it knows ."absolutely nothing what ever about any such offer." An embassy spokesman indi cated France probably would re ject any such South Korean bid for fear of causlui? Communist China to intervene openly in the 8-year-old war. 6ome informants claimed Rhee offered the troops In answer to an appeal for aid from the Communist-threatened Indochina state of Laos. Other officials said they know nothing about any such ap peal and that the South Korean offer was made independently. The State Department declined to comment immediately on the renorfed develonment.

CHICAGO W New crop wheat deliveries forged ahead in a mixed grain market on the board of trade Thursday. Demand for the wheat contracts representing the 1954 crop was based on continued dry weather in the Southwest, plus a forecast for falling temperatures. The ;grain does not have a protective snow cover in many sections. Soybeans also were ahead most of the day, particularly 4he old crop months. Japan bought 670,000 bushels of cash soybeans over night. Feed grains lagged, partic ularly corn. ' All new crop wheat deliveries closed strong on a late burst of buying, going to new seasonal highs for the fourth straight day this week. Into the Indochina War. Hull himself described President Rhee as a "great patriot" who will continue to "collaborate with the United States all the way through." The general, however, had noth ing to say about any olfer from Rhee. Declining to comment on Indochina, he said he had no au thority or responsibility there. Top Defense strategists are re ported to believe the 16-dlvlsion South Korean army which the United States has trained and equipped, should be kept in South Korea to gtinrd against any new altack from Communist forces. Rhee told an Associated Press reporter in Seoul Wednesday he is determined to reopen the war against the Chinese Communists who are occupying North Korea. He said he would move without American support if necessary. ' "I am not bluffing." he said. Hull, flying in from Tokyo, said the situation in Korea will remain difficult for some time to come.

By OLEN CLEMENTS SAIOOX, Indochina W Ten thousand Vietminh invaders of Laos advanced today to a point on the Hou River only 37 Jungle miles northeast of Luang prabang, the royal capital that the French and ailing old King Sisavong Vong have vowed to defend. A vanguard ol 1.500 regional troops was within nine miles or less of the town, screening the advance of the rebel regulars of Vietminh Division 308, but so far nao not opened an attack. The main force of the division, diverted last week from the siege of Dien Bien Phu for the thrust Into Laos from north Viet Nam. had advanced 19 miles in 24 hours. At that pace, it was only two days' march from Luang Prabang. French Union briefing officers said the objective of the Commu nist-led forces had not been ascertained.-The division was withdrawn from the mountains around Dien Bien Phu, leaving others to main tain pressure, - when the rebels found that stronghold heavily for tified by the French. The garrison of Luang Prabang has been reinforced in the last few days. Military observers spec ulated that any assault might not come before early next week. Aside from the palaces of the King and Crown Prince Savang. tne town is a collection of frail wooden buildings and huts. It lies on the Mekong River. The Hou, on which the rebel division massed, Hows into the Mekong north of the town. A jungle path leads 135 miles southward to Vientiane, the ad ministrative capital of Laos. Luang Prabang has little stra tegic value, but the Reds could make much propaganda in South east Asia . if they could seize it and capture the King or his son. In southeast Viet Nam, where French Union troops made a land ing last month to regain a rich strip of coastal rice country lrom the rebels, a consolidation of gains was reported. Army headquarters announced that 35,000. Inhabitants had returned to their homes since the first flurry of action estab lished the French beachhead at Tuy Hoa. Many had been ordered out of the area by the retreating Reds, - In withdrawing from the coast. the Vietminh managed to make a dent in French holdings in tile plateau country to the west. They occupied Kontum, a trading center of 10.000 about 260 miles north of Saigon, after its French Union garrison withdrew. At Pieiku, about 30 miles souin of Kontum, a French and Viet namese force still held on. In Saigon today. French Defense Minister Rene Pleven met with French Union leaders to study war needs In materials and additional manpower. . The French announced yesterday that 105 U.S'. Air Force technicians had arrived last week to help main tain American-supplied planes "for civilian c a r g o e s." Presumably these were in addition to 125 such technicians previously reported helping the French in Indo china. WILL RUN.

An Agricul ture Department survey indicated Thursday that dairy farmers are pouring high-priced, concentrated ieed to their dairy cows In an effort to produce more and more milk. And production figures show that the more milk production increas es, the larger grows a butter sur plus, which brings demands for re. auction of support prices. Mine production set a record of I20,20t:,uou,ooo pounds, during 1953 an increase of 4 per cent over 1S32. Tne previous record was 119. 800.000,000 pounds in 1945. A report issued Wednesday said milk production in January exceed ed nine billion pounds for the first time in history for tile month and was 5 per cent greater than in January last year. The department said the heavy rate of production largely reflected the fact that dairymen are feeding cows a record quantity oi concen- trated feeds th.it is, grains, ml lures -of grains and protein meals and the like. These feeds are much more expensive than roughage ieeas, sucn as nay and silage. ORCHARDS. Wash, un Charles Brannan, former secretary of ag- fiinllltra .1... einl. n ...

Six others parachuted to safety when the plane started its final fatal plunge toward earth while on a flight from Anchorage to Fair banks. Four of the six bodies have been identified but the names withheld pending notiilcatlon of relatives. An air-ground search still is be ing conducted for the other four in the hope that they, too. parachuted safely. No trace has. been found, however. If each person in the United States would drink only 10 more quarts in an entire year there I would be no milk surplus, he said. ur ii eacii scuooi cnua were given a quart a day through the school year, there would be no surplus. Farmers have many problems, he said, and "all signs point to a trying time in the next few years." He added that "there seems to be a direct campaign to alert neonle that the farm program is contrary to tne Denefit of the farmers." He spoke strongly against a slid ing scale of support benefits, say ing that "the farmer has a right to expect protection but should not be penalized for doing well."
