Fishing Tackle THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA Diana, in Bill At Caplfol, Wins Eye Appeal Nod Now they're glorifying glamor stars with ‘“eye appeal.” Previously the actresses had their legs, hair, backs and even their sweaters glorified and now the Cal- ifornia Association of Dispensing Opticians ‘have come forth with “The Five Loveliest Pairs of Eyes on the Screen.” Number One on the Hollywood eye parade, according to the group'’s spokesman, Stanley E. Smith, is lovely Diana Lynn, currently star- ring with Ronald Reagan in Univer- sal-International’s “Bedtime for Bonzo"” closing tonight at the Cap- itol Theatre. “Miss Lynn's eyes frequently say things that are never found in movie scripts,” says Smith, “I don't know whe Bonzo'is, but he’s a very lucky guy.” Bonzo, it was pointed out to the spokesman, is a five-year-old chim- panzee which Miss Lynn and Ron- ald Reagan attempt to raise as a child in the comedy hit.

BUFFER ZONE AGREEMENT SEOUL, Korea, Friday—(®—It ap- peared almost certain that the lull in Korean ground fighting would linger on despite end of a 30-day “trial” period on a provisional buf- fer zone. Gen. James A. Van Fleet, U. S. Eighth Army commander, was in a | South Korea rear area Thursday. If anything big militarily were planned or expected, it seemed certain the general would be on the frontline or at his headquarters. Van Fleet recently told this As- sociated Press correspondent: “We will not sacrifice our men needlessly. What is the use of thou- sands of casualties if it is question- able what good they would do? “However, the Eighth Army and UN attached units stand ready to do the job they have to do. And we intend to accomplish onr mission from a military standpoint in Kor- ea.” Tieel Strike Locks Probable PITTSBURGH, Dec. 27—{®—Stra- tegists of the CIO United Steel- ‘Workers decided the strike or no strike question in secret Thursday but withheld any announcement un- til ratification later in the day by the union’s governing wage-policy committee.
