TRUCE TEAMS IN KOREA

Withdrawal Begins

(Rec. 11 p.m.) SEOUL, June 6. The Neutral Nations Supervisory Commission at Panmunjon today announced that it was withdrawing all neutral nations’ inspection teams from North and South Korea. A United Nations source said the Communist delegates to the Armistice Commission wanted conditions attached to the withdrawal, but that United Nations delegates rejected these conditions and reaffirmed the United Nations decision to move the Czech and Polish inspectors out of South Korea. The Communist conditions were that the authority of the Neutral Nations Commission be retained, and that the inspectors could be sent back if either side complained of violations of the terms of the Korean military armistice.

Sewing Needle In Child’s Brain

(Rec. 11 p.m.) JERSEY CITY, June 6. A three-months-old baby girl would be forced to live with a sewing needle embedded in her brain, the Jersey Cit” Medical Centre said today.

Doctors said the child. Miriam Montanez. should be able to live a normal life because the needle did not enter a vital part of her brain. The IJin-long needle drooped from a falling picture into the child’s head seven weeks ago in Puerto Rica where she was boro.

It lodged in a soft spot in her skull. A immediate ooeration failed to dislodge the needle. The brain surgeon said today the needle probably would not move. He called the case a “medical rarity,” bi t said there had been other cases where persons lived with needles in their brains.
