New Drivue-ls Expected On Central Front

By TOM STONE

TOKYO. May 2 .. (Wednesday) - (AP) - Navy carrier planes tor- pedoed the 1-lwachon dam in Cen- tral Korea Tuesday in a spectac- ular attempt to flood the path of an expected Communist attack.

The Reds had shifted forces to- ward the mountainous centre after their offensive bogged down on May Day before Seoul under the triple barrage of artillery, planes and warships.

The Communists had closed the gates of the 250-foot high hydro- electric dam in a move to lower the waters of the Pukhan and Han

On Problems

A delegation of farmers from the southern King's district and a number of lobster dealers will meet. with Premier J. Walter Jones and members of his govern- ment this morning to request the opening of the Murray Harbour starch factory, it was learned last night.

A test of the water at Murray Harbour by Dr. D. G. Wilder. Dominion Fisheries biologist from St. Andrew's, N. B. has feVPBle:i' that so far starch waste would not harm lobsters kept in pounds

Rivers. That would make them fordable for Red assault forces.

First Use of Torpedoes

But carrier-based Douglas sky- ralders in their first use of aerial torpedoes under combat conditions in Korea countered the Red move. Pilots reported they destroyed one gate and opened a. 10-foot hole in another.

Early in April the Reds opened eight of Hwachon's ls sluice gates in an effort to flood out the then- edvancing Allied troops. It didn't work. The water released was not enough to swamp the Allies.

U. N. forces seized the dam - ihen gave it un last week after the Red spring offensive opened April 22 with'a break-through in the centre.

Again in possession. the Red: closed the gates this week. Water levels of the Pukhan and Han be- gan to fall. Then navy planes from the aircraft carrier Princeton went went to work on the dam at the re- quest of the Eighth Army.

As they did. Red forces were re- ported building up in Central Korea.

Time Tabled Off Balance

The Red time-table - Seoul by May Dav - was off balance.

Except for 200 to .100 rounds of Chinese artillery shells fired four miles northwest of the city. the capital was quiet last night.

AP correspondent John Rari- dolnh reported from Seoul at 8 A.M. (7 P.M., E.D.T. Tuesday) that only light Red concentrations could be found by Allied patrols

in that area. Objections to the opening of the starch factory were raised on the grounds that the waste would harm .the lobsters. However. it was stated that this was the view of a small number and that lob- ster dealers and most. of those in the industry would not object to the operations of the -factory. Another objection to the oper- nlions of the plant is the odor that arises from the waste left on the mud flats. Officials are ick- ing into this matter and will work on the proposition of carrying away the wastes by a barge. Meanwhile the starch plants at; Hunter River and Baltic are: working to capacity and already have processed about 100,000 bushels of potatoes. It is hoped that another 200,000 will be taken care of Southern Kings farmers. bank- lng on the opening of the Murray Harbour starch factory. have in the main. been unable to ship their potatoes under the Govern- ment subsidy plant as the other factories have been filled.

Conservative

LONDON, Mayl - (AP) - The Labor Government easily beat down tonight a Conservative attempt to overthrow it by taking advantage of the socialist split over the pace of Britain's rearmamcnt.

The House of Commons rejected, 305 to 292. an Opposition motion which had been calculated to put on the spot the two ministers who quit the Attlee Cabinet. last Week.

The motion would have put. the House on record as saying it. learn- ed "with anxiety" that the govern- ment's rearmament program "wa.s based on estimates of defence pro- duction which were not accepted by the ministers principally con- cerned."

Vote With Government

But both Aneurin Bevan and Harold Wilson, the iesigned Labor Minister and ,resident of the Board of Trade, voted with the govern- ment. Bo did all other Labor Party left-wingers.
