Allied Planes Smash Messaelng Red Aerial Build - up In ' Korea

By Tom Stone

FOKYO. May it) -(Thursda)')- Allied planes-312 fighters and bombers-blasted at a menacing Red aerial build-up in Northwest Korea Wednesday in the biggest single raid of the war.

The big sctrlkc may have boat the Communists to the punch. in- telligence reports indicated the Chinese were building up to sup- port a renewal of their ground offensive along Korea's mid-sect- ion.

Billowing flames and smoke obscured damage estimates at the target-sinuiju airbase. across the yalu River from Manchuris. sev-

enty to 100 planes were spotted on the ground. preliminary official damage

estimates were conservative. The U. 5. Fifth Air Force reported only two Red planes destroyed and one damaged on the ground and two Russian-built jets damaged in air battles. One U. S. plane was dam- aged in a dogfight.

Planes. Tanks In Manchuria

Pilots spotted manyi planes and tanks arrayed across the Yalu in Manchuria.

Rnturnlng pilots reported 10 square miles around Slnuiju were covered with dust. smoke and flame from 1.000-pound bombs. rockets and fire bombs.

Fifty Red jets rose from Antung across the Yaiu boundary. but only 13 challenged the Allied fighters-and not for long. They scurried back across the river af- ter a brief dogfight.

The first waves of Allied fight- crs ran into heavy anti-aircraft fire. But. following waves bombed out the ack-ack guns. Red planes. supply and fuel dumps and build- ings were enveloped in smoke.

For several weeks the Chinese have been reported massing planes to support their ground effort to

drive United Nations forces into the sea. The big Red spring offensive

ran out of steam less than lo days after it began April 22. After trad- ing ground for Red casualties- more than 70.000 of them-U. N. forces have been rolling slowly back northward behind aggressive patrols.

Acheson Hints Big Four Parley likely I(Li:aii

WASHINGTON. May it Btate Secretary Dean Acheson said today the United States has about come to the end of its rope in negotiating with the Rusians on terms for a Big Four foreign minlaters' meeting. His words implied that the whole project may fall through.

The Russians in their talks with American. British and French representatives at Paris are in effect demandin that the West suspend its defence program. Acheson said. He said that is too high a price for a Big Four meetin .

Aim of such a meeting would be to ease world tensions and try to make some progress to- ward real peace. Acheson said the U. S. has euesented plans for a conference which are the ultimate in reasonableness. But the foreign ininlsters' deputies are deadlocked over what Ach- eson called ltussta's outrageous insistence on its own kind of arms reduction formula.

Damages Garage Al: Summerside

30.000 Damage Caused Al Reliable Motors

A flash fire gutted the garage of Reliable Motors on Water Street, summe std.-. about two o'clock yes- terday afternoon, forcing four men to escape by breaking a glass in a door. one of them. Mr. Lauri Kumpuia, an employee. received hospital treatment for burns on one leg.

Damage is estimated at about 38,000 to the building. tools. and equipment. partially covered by insurance. The garage is a single storey wooden ' uilding ' t -' next to the main building which houses the service station and parts de- nartment. Being Wednesday after- noon and a half holiday, it was closed for business and all the

doors were shut. including a small entrance door and three glass pan- elled over-head doors.

Inside were three employees. Mr. Kumpuis, Mr. Richard Rogerson and Mr. Eriskine Cahlll and Mr. Edgar Williams. the owner of a truck which was in the garage at the time. Origin of the fire is not certain but one of the men was working at an emery stone and possibly sparks were flying from it. About the same time some one accidentally kicked over a pan containing a solution for washing parts. Whatever the cause, accord- ing to several of the men. there was a flash and suddenly the building was filled with fire.

Unable To Open Doors

Efforts to open any of th doors were in vain and then h&tker- son kicked out a portion ofthe glass in one of the large doors and they all crawled 4 Kumpula was the only one sus- tzining any injury but Mr. Wil- liams found that his overalls were on fire and be discarded them be- fore crawling to safety; At the same time he discarded. gin one of the pockets whichi-. ” been paid him on a debt a short time previously.

Immediately an alarm was rung in and the doors were forced open and two trucks and a. car were pulled out. A Prefect car which could not be reached was destroy- ed. In a very short time dense clouds of smoke were issuing from the building and spreading across the Town. When the Fire Depart- ment arrived on the scene the newly acquired pumper proved its worth as water from its tank was being poured on the flames im- medlately on its arrival while the other hose was being coupled up.

Firemen fought the blaze for a half hour but it was under con- trol in about ten minutes.

The building is owned by the Irving oil Co. Ltd wiiile all the garage equipment was the prop- crty' of Reliable Motors of which Mr. R. A. Home is the proprietor. .. S

'”Ice Pick” Operation Aids Hopeless Patients

said today.

For the first time in a long while "many" detention rooms stand va- cant beoause their former occup- ants were returned home following a relatively-simple surgical tech- nique, the doctors reported to the American Psychiatric Association.

The doctors, from the New Jer- sey State Hospital at Trenton. re- ferred to the relatively-new oper- ation called "transorbitsl labot- omy" in which an instrument re- sembling an ice pick is inserted be- tween the pstient's eyelid and eye- ballvso that it sevsrs certain brain nerves.

The operation cuts off the con- nectloit between the main part of the brain and the ao-called "front- sl lobe" -- the area believed to be the "worry" centre.

But this same area is believed also to play a role in influencing judsment. the sense of responsib- ility, and ours ability to work ef- ficiently and neatly.

Tits doctors said that in 200 cases - all considered " pelaas" insofar as any degree of prove- ment was conomied - 10 were re- turned homs and 7! others show- ed such "marked in ment that they arhbeirig cred for discharge. eariwbile. they "are working around the hoqdtal and do not need the great aniousit of supervision required before oper-

Island transportation interests dependent upon further develop- ment of the Wood 1slands-Ca.ri- bou ferry service received a set- back this week from the cans- dian Maritime Commission when it turned "thumbs down" on the proposals of the operating com- pany, for building of a new and larger boat to replace the "Prince Nova" at an early date.

The matter has been before the C mission sfbr some time and of- ficials of Nort-liwrnberland Ferries Ltd.. were conifidcntt that they had made out a strong case and were awaiting the go-ahead signal to place the contract with a Pictou firm which tendered satisfactorily for the work.

The building of a new boat at a cost or! approximately one mil- lion dollars was to have been financed by a long-term subsidy, and the company had already made arrangements for raising the money in the expectation of get- ting the work started this sum- mer.

Quenied yesterday regarding a report that the company's pro- posals had been turned down. Mr. R. E. Mulch. preddent of North- umlberland Ferries Ltd.. said he had received a letter from Capt. J. A.

Deienceiiebale ' ls Continued. In House of Commons

OPTAWA. May 9 -(GP)-Db fence Minister Claxton said today Canada regrets the ”faliure" to standardize western arms and said the most discouraging factor is that the United States and United Kingdom can't even see eye to eye on arms they are adopt- ing for the future.

He made that statement in the Commons in replying to a siege of suggestions and accusations thrown at the government during two days of debate on a record 51,603.- 000,000 defence budget for this fis- cal year.

Highlights of Remarks

These were among his most im-. portant lreplies to Maj.-Gen. G. R. Pearkes V. . (PC-Nanaimo). military critic for the official Opposition:

1. The Defence Department has been looking for five years for a huge area-loo miles by 30-largo enough to train ai'my format.ions as large as a brigade. It has its eye on one in the cast but it is the hope that brigades tlckettcd for overseas won't have to do winter training in Canada be- cause much time would be spent shovelling snow.

2. Original plans for production of military motor vehicles in Can- ada have had to be modified. he- cause the cost would be "fan- tastically high" per vehicle. Can- ada now would manufacture those vehicle parts she could turn out most economically and buy others from the U. S.

3. It will be late this autumn before the first of Canada's new anti-submarine escort vessels are launched and it will be a ”con- slderable time" longer before they are at sea.

4. The aircraft carrier Magnifi- cent is not out of date. as charged by Gen. Pearltes. but "has three or four more years of useful llfe." l-ler aircraft were of types still being used by the U. S. or U. K. Canada can't afford to have a second aircraft carrier. one for the Pacific coast. as Gen. Pesrkes urged. s

5. The defence shipbuilding pro- gram now involves 27 ships and "many more" contracts are com- iniz.

8. The 1'. S. kept Canada's spec-

ial force 25th Brigade at Fort Lewis. Wash, for 520,000 a day or 32.46 a man-cheaper than

Canada could have done it herself. Further Canada would have had to spend millions to rehabilitate a camp to handle the training of the brigade. now in Korea.

7. There is no evidence that men entering the army should he in industry. Mobilization plans were worked out with the Department of Labor "and we feel the system is working out as well as possible."
