About 1,200 persons attended the dance as a climax to the Relays weekend, and although the cool weather dampened the turnout at the relays Saturday, the spirit of the persons attending the dance was not cooled.

They are expected to take off for Korea in a giant hospital plane shortly after 5:30 p.m. (CST) today. In Tokyo they will enter Army hospitals for final processing and rest before they fly across the Pacific to home.
Thirty-five more Americans are to be freed in the second day's exchange of sick and wounded prisoners with the Communists, starting at 6 p.m. CST today.
The announcement by an Army hospital spokesman in Seoul that all the Americans freed yesterday are able to fly to Tokyo meant that none of them was in such serious condition as to need emergency treatment in Korea.
In Tokyo it was announced that they will be available for interviews with correspondents starting Wednesday.
The smoothness with which the first day's exchange was carried out was taken as a happy omen for the truce negotiations which are to be resumed Saturday and may end a deadlock that began last October.
Little fighting was reported along the 155-mile front. At the prisoner exchange center the heavy rumble artillery could be heard echoing in the hills.
Reports from the evacuation hospital in Seoul in which the freed Americans spent Monday night indicated that attempts by the Communists to indoctrinate them with Red ideologies had failed.
The South Korean defense minister announced that South Koreans freed in the exchange will be given a six-months course in counterindoctrination before they are set free.
One hundred Allied prisoners in all—30 Americans, 20 other non-Korean and 50 South Koreans—were exchanged for 500 Communists yesterday.
Humphrey Attacks Depression Fears
New York — (U,P)—Secretary of the Treasury George M. Humphrey said today a Korean armistice would bring "readjustments" in the U.S. economy but would not set off a depression.
In a speech to Associated Press members, Mr. Humphrey labelled as "entirely unjustified" fears about how the American economy would stand up if defense spending is reduced.
Mr. Humphrey called for a "radical revision" of the tax system to provide "incentives for the creation of more jobs for more people and the making of more, better, and cheaper goods for all the people."
He said it is necessary to achieve a "sound" currency after 20 years.
