If the armistice is not completed within 30 days, the ceasefire line will be moved forward or back to the battleline existing when the complete agreement is ready for signature. A four-man team of United Nations and Red staff officers worked until after dark tracing the present battleline on largescale maps. When they broke up for the day, only two or three major differences remained and these were expected to be cleaned up early Saturday, The battleline—which will become the cease-fire line if the war ends in 30 days—was expected to be approved by the subcommittee Saturday and submitted to the full five-man armistice delegations the next day for ratification.

Mock Gets 2 Years for Tax Evasion
An Indianapolis businessman found guilty of evading payment of more than $15,000 income taxes during the war was sentenced today in Federal Court to a two-year sentence. Edward J. Mock, 43, of E. Tist St., steadfastly contended “I did not do what the jury said.” Mock today did not deny that the tax had not been paid, but he contended he did not “wilfully” evade pavment. During his trial, his attorneys attempted to show that Mocks financial records had ben confused by a succession of several bookkeepers who worked for him.
Failed to>Settle
But Judge William E. Stackler pointed out that Mock had failed to take advantage of opportunities to settle the tax bill before prosecution was started. In other court action today: ONE—Arthur Sipf, 43, of 1238 W. 31st, 8t., was given a one-year suspended sentence and placed on two-year probation on & charge of stealing $5.75 from the mails at Haughville branch
