(.80 Canadian Destroyers In Action; Aid In Evacuation Of United Nations Group broke about the same time today as the Cabinet prepared to meet Prime Minister Attiee of Britain tomonrow for talks about Korea and what should be done abut it. Navy headquarters reported that the Sioux, one of the three Can- adian destroyers which spear- headed the bombardment of Chlnnampo, was slightly damaged in getting into position in the harbor under cover of darkness. she struck an unlighted buoy but was quite capable of carrying on. Chinnampo is 50 miles southwest of Pyongyang, North Korean cap- ital. I Capt. Brock In Command one Australian and one American destroyer joined the Canadians-- ali five of them under Capt. J. V Brock of Vancouver and Winnideg --in shepherding the evacuation ships into the harbor through ex- tensive rnine-fields, shoals and shifting mudbanks which cons- tituted an "extremely hazardous" approach. The five warships "provided cover for the vessels which effect- ed the withdrawal of non-essential military and civilian personnel from the port to more advantage- ous positions." The evacuation ships were loaded and withdrawn without incident. Port Rende ed Useless Capt. Brook's fighting placed in positions to cover the whole harbor area. waited for their departure and then let fly. The Canadians here called the operation "successful." In wash- ington, a.,U.s. spokesman said the "port was rendered useless to the enemy." "When they finally left," said a statement issued here. "the harbor was littered with burning oil and wreckage. Flames from burning buildings. oil storage tanks and ammunition dumps ashore were reported to be visible 50 miles away." Capt. Brook's ship is the Cayuga. The Athabaskan is commanded by Cmdr. Robert P. Welland of Vic- toria and Mccreary, Man.. and the Sioux by Cmdr. Paul D. Taylor of Victoria. It was one of the most important operations carried out by the destroyers in more than four months in Korean watera., ships, N0 TRACE REMAINS The hanging gardens of Babylon. one of the seven ancient wonders of the .world. were built by Ne- huchadneazar about 600 B.C. final Appioval H By Gov'i Expected Next Week OTTAWA. Dec. 8 - (of) --.'!'he Government is in the last stages of consideration of pay increases for the armed forces and final ap- proval is expected next week. euth- oritatlve quarters said today. Defence Minister Claxton has been pressing for months for in- creases; arguing both that they would help the recruiting drive and that they would relieve gen- uine distress among some of the 63,000 men already in the three armed services. Informed quarters said virtual approval has been given now but- .the final details remain to be work- ed out and sanctioned. probably at next Wednesday's Cabinet meeting. Earlier it was reported final ap- proval has already been given. There was no official confirma- tion immcdiately of speculation that the increases -will run from 314 to-son a month, depending on rank. and affect both officers and men. It was estimated that increases of that magnitude would add about eight per cent to the current my, bill for the three forces. They con- tain about 63,000 men. T11:-re has been debate within the Cabinet about the date when the increases should go into effect. Finance Minister Abbott is report- ed to have vetoed a move to make them retroactlve to last July 1. Pay problems have been blamed for some of the absenteeism that has hit the army's special force. some of the men have contended they canlt support their families on the money they get.
