lovely Diana Lynn, currently star
ring with Ronald Reagan in Univer
sal-International's “Bedtime for
Bonzo" closing tonight at the Cap

things that are never found in
movie scripts,” says Smith. “I don’t
know who 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—iff)—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. II
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 our mission
from a military standpoint in Kor
ea.”
