-The members of the Bedeque Half Century Club entertained their husbands and friends on Tuesday eveniniz. June lath at the home of Mrs. Calvin Leard. After a short business meeting the po- ttramme took the form of a club meeting of forty years ago.

The costumes created a great amount of amusement. the hats especially being worthy of notice. Discussion for and against the Opening of roads for motor cars brought out many amusing and conflicting ideas. Music consisted of solos. duets. choruses, and a nine-song of old-time favorites in which the guests Joined. Partners for.,refreshmr-nts were chosen by means of hats in numbered hat bags.

As no peeking was allowed and Etch guest. wore the hat chosen the effect can better be imagined Ihln described. Mr. charles Craig took several flash light pictures 09 the gathering. A most enjoy- able evening was then brought to I close with the singing of the National Anthem.

Russia Levels Sharp Charges Against U. S.; State Department Silent

LONDON. July 4 -(Tuesday) .. (AP)-Russia today charged the United States with "direct acts of aggression" in Korea.

The charge was made in a stale- mm by Andrei Gromvka. Russia's 11110 Deputy Foreign Minister. bm3dCl5l- by Moscow Radio early today and heard in London.

Gmmylto said the Korean fight- ing resulted from a pre-medicated "provocative attack" by the south Koreans.

5T0mi"m declared that the Unit- ed States. by ordering its military and naval forces to support south Korea. had "embarked on the road to open interference in the inter- national affairs of Korea."

Decllrlnz that the United States had embarked on the --my.-i of armed intervention in Korea.” the statement continued;

”liaving taken that quad, the

United states Government violat- ed mi! Deuce. and by so doing. demonstrated that not only is it not striving for the consolidation of peace but. on the contrary, is the enemy of peace." ”GF0m)'k0. charged that the events taking place in Korea be. gan June 25 as a result of pro- vocative attack of troops of the South Korean authorities on the frontier areas of the Korean Peg. ple's Democratic (Communist) Re- public.

"This attack was the result of a premeditated plan."

This is at variance with the find- ing of the United Nations Security Council. wliii-li held that the North Koreans had invaded southern Korea.

Gromyko's statement was reiterat- ion of previous Soviet allegations that the Southern Koreans had started the fighting.

The statement continued:

"The United States Government, is ievealing step by step its ag. gressive plans in Korea. First it announced that United States in- terference into Korea's affairs would be restricted to the mere sending of military and other mat- erials.

"Then it was announced that air and naval forces would also be sent but without ground troops Subsequently they announced the sending of United States ground forces to Korea.

"it is also known that first the United States Government declar- ed that American armed. forces would take part only in operations in the territory of South Korea. However. only a few days later the American Air Force transfer:-ed Its operations to the territory of North K o r e a and attacked Pyongyang and other towns.

"All this shows the ll. 5. Gov- ernment is drawing the United States into war to an even-greater extent but. being forced to consid- er' the unwillingness of the Ameri- can people to be drawn into a new military adventure. it is gradually pushing the country step by step into an open war."

In Washington the State Depart- had no immediate comment on Gmmyko's statement.

ault.

A spokesman at headquarters sa-.d today that there had been no new developments for some hours. except for minor alterations in ric- fence lines.

Far-sweeping American and Aus- tralian air attacks contributed to the enemy slowdown and forced the North Koreans to rush up heavier anti-aircraft defences for Red-conquered Seoul.

American troops. digging in at an unidentified forward position, had not yet met the North Korean ground forces.

The Americans got a foretaste

Monday of front-line conditions when live to seven Australian Mustangs savagely strafed the

rocket-blasted nearby positions.

So near was the raid that one American sergeant was slightly wounded in the foot and others had to dive for cover.

Circumstances of this incident were not clear. A United States Air Force spokesman in Tokyo headquarters said reports of Men- day's air strikes were not all in and he could not give any explan- ations until later.

AP correspondent Tom Lambert. who was on the spot and telephon- ed the news io Tokyo. described it as a 25-minute attack on the mud village where the Americans had established a command post.

Gen. of Tuesday morning did not men- tion the incident. It said Ameri- can and Australian fighters in a series of sortles Monday destroyed seven enemy tanks and damaged five. destroyed 22 trucks and dam- aged 29, shot down one LA-7 and one Yak-D fighter, blew up an am- munition and destroyed one loco- motive and damaged three.

Ten B-29 heavy bombers for the second consecutive day attacked Yonpo airfield, 135 miles inside North Korea near the east coast.

The invader Yak fighters strafed and bombed South Korean de- fence troops near Kimpo Airfield 16 miles west of Seoul, and the Suwon airstrip 23 miles south of Seoul.

Slowed To shame

MacArthur's account of ground operations tended strongly to sup- port the word of American offic- ers in Korea that the invader drive had by this morning slowed to a shuffle and almost a halt after rac- ing ahead for eight days.

On Sunday. July 2. the commun- ique said. two North Korean tank and artillery columns thrust south- cast out of Seoul in a hurried al- iempt to outflank Suwon on the east.

They reached Yongin. six miles east of Suwon. and Kumyangjang- ni. 12 miles east. while another in- vader column was moving about 30 miles east of Suwon.

No all-out offensive was report- ed, however, and the communique said: "Activities along the lines of communications indicate that the North Korean forces are building

up sufficient bases and supplies to

support offensive operations in the

Iarea of the Han River and are in- :creasing their anti-aircraft posit- zons in the Seoul area."

i. The South Korean army. at- ihough chewed and mauled by the Communist invasion that began unexpectedly June 25. was credit- ed thl morning by MacArthur with s l holding Suwon and its airstrip; lnchon. Seoul's port town 20 miles to the west. and a line north of Suwon. South Koreans

'also held unspecified positions

lsouth of the Kimpo Airfield, 16

lmiles west of Seoul.

MacArthur also reported that South Korean reinforcements were moving north in an attempt to contain the threat east of Suwon.

British and American warships -

maintained patrols along both coasts of Korea without incident.

CHARLOTTETOWN

Many Complaints Regarding lack Of Road Directions

The tourist information bureau operated by the Town of Summer- side and the Summeruldu Board of Trade at Read'I Corner has been operating more as a complaint bureau this lastwaek. u this is the first place that visitors from other Provinces and the United States stop after finding their way around the detour caused by the rebuilding of the main highway between Bedeque and Wilmot.

Their main complaints are the lack of adequate signs to direct strangers through the byronda that it it necessary to traverse. and the condition of these roads.

It has been learned that. as a result of numerous complaints to the Travel Bureau and to the De- partment and members of the Leg- islature. steps were taken yester- day to improve the situation. Some of the worst roads have ndw been scraped.

The necessity of rebuilding the highway is unavoidable and there are not complaints heard about that, but both visitors and local people interviewed feel that when the main artery into the Province is blocked during the tourist seas- on the least that could have been done was to have prepared adeq- uate markers arid signs to direct strangers and to give extra special attention to the secondary roads that this heavy traffic must pass over.

The criticisms voiced at the Summerside information center and to restaurant and tourist. cabin operators show that many of the visitors are much displeased with the conditions that they have found. The fact that there has been it great deal of rain lately has. of course. aggravated the sit- uation.

Summersidz Not Mentioned

Coming from Borden the travel- ler meets the commencement of the detour just beyond Bedeque village as Ross' corner. Here. as late as Sunday. signs indicated that there was a detour to Char- lottetown but no mention of Sum- merside and according to reports at the information center some people bound for Summerside and West Prince followed this road right through Freetown to the pavement at Summerfleld. They then followed the highway to- wards Summerside and they were then quite a distance but of their way-only to find another stretch of bad road outside Kensington where another section of the high- way is being rebuilt. n

There is a sign along this Free- town road indicating where to turn to go to Summer-side but it is a small rough affair on a Pl-'i'-ll Place of board. A Summerside business man coming up from the ferry Sunday evening found several Am- erican cars stopped at points along this detour poring over maP5v 9Vl' dently trying to find out where they were. .

on Sunday almost all sections of the detour were in very bad condition. The WilmotValle.V mail; known locally as the "Blue Shank mad was gimply disgraceful. full of pot holes and Very. Very l'0”8hi This road has since been scraped-

This is a main road and is us- ually in excellent COl.'ldi-IIOII-.bI-It 3'- thin important time it lsbeinz 81' lowed to deteriorate. It is eXP?Cl' ed that. as a result of complaints received. conditions will in'iPT0V!9-v and it is hoped. that the imp?!" sions some visitors will re ur home with will not be too harmful to this important industry.

New Oyster Beds

i l 1 i

said Urgent lie-ed

O'I'l'AWA, Jul 4-(OP)- Muri- time members 0 day asked the Government to de- velop further the oyster and clam industries of that area.

Percy Black (PC-Oiimberhndl complained that slow progress was being made in developing new oyster beds in his county.

J. W. Macliaught. parliamentary assistant for fisheries. said this work had been going on for som” years in an attempt to show it WIS practicable to use tide flats to pro- duce ieed oysters.
