Allies Drop Demands on Red Kaesong
By United Press PANMUNJIOM, Korea. Nov. 10—The United Nations offered the Communists today the right to veto any United Nations - sought adjustments if they will accept the final Korean battleline as a cease-fire line This raised hopes on both sides that an agreement on the truce line might be near. The Chinese Communist radio at Peiping had just broadcast a Panmunjom dispatch from Alan Winnington. correspondent for the London Dajly Worker, saying: “If the American$ give up their demand for Kaesong, a settlement can be reached in a matter
of hours.” At the same time, Gen. James A. Van Fleet, commander of,
United Nations ground forces in Korea, said in an Armistice Day message to his troops “We trust that a new armistice date signalling an honorable and lasting peace will soon be forthcoming.”
Screaming Reds Drive UN Forces From Hills
EIGHTH ARMY HEADQUARTERS. Korea, Nov. 10 (UP)— Nearly 1000 screaming Red troops drove United Nations forces from two outposts southwest of Kumsong on the central front in a pre-dawn attack today. Southeast of the rubbled former enemy stronghold, however, ele-

‘Middlebrow’ Music—
Romberg, Composer Of 2000 Tunes, Dies
By United Press NEW YORK. Nov, 10 — Com-poser-Conductor Sigmund Romberg, 64, one of America's greatest songwriters, died last night in his hotel apartment of a cerebral hemorrhage The rotund Hungarian-born composer of 65 Broadwav musicals, including “The Student Prince,” “The Pesert Song.” and “Blossom Time,” had no warning of his impending death and had spent a routine day working on tunes for a new show, relatives said. He suffered a stroke and died in the Ritz Tower Hotel with his
For many years Mr. Romberg had been an annual visitor at the Murat Theater here, bringing his concert orchestra and soloists. His favorite gag, introducing a comely soprano, was, “I always know a good voice when I see one.” He had many Indianapolis friends and was a member of the Murat Shrine.

Song writers and executives of Broadway's Tin Pan Alley were shocked at the death of the man who wrote some 2000 tunes which have become familiar to almost evervone in the Western world Writer of “Blossom Time" Music publishers said that since
the production of Romberg's “Blossom Time” in 1921 there
hasn't been a time when one of his shows wasn't being staged somewhere in the world. His light operettas, with a Viennese flavor, are particular favorites for high school amateur productions. Mr. Romberg's formula for success was simple “The highbrow music, that's for the symphonies.®the longhairs.” he once said. “The lowbrow, that's Jazz. Me, I write middlebrow.” His last most successful tune swept the country earlier this year, a gay melody with the tile, “Zing Zing, Zoom Zoom.” Other of his all time favorites were “Deep in Mv Heart, Dear,” “One
