DENVER, (P)-The cabin of an American Air Lines plane was ripped open when an engine broke away high over the Cobra do Rockies early yesterday and the big ship landed here with one dead and seven injured.

Practice Military Dependents Evac' uation Saturday

ANCHORAGE, (P)-A practice evacuation to prepare dependents of military personnel for a possi- ble attack on Alaska by an enemy will be staged here Saturday morning with 50-mile "with- drawal" up the Alaska Highway.
 Dependents of Elmendorf Air Force Base and Fort Richardson troops will participate in the part theory, part-practice action. Its purpose is to set up quick, or derly procedure for evacuation to the United States without clog ging travel arteries or snarling military traffic.
 In theory, it will be Territory wide and include air travel. In fact, as set up by It. Gen. William Kepner, commander-in-chief of Alaskan defenses, it will not in- clude civilians living in Anchor age, Fairbanks and other cities.
 It does not, military officials said, point to the need for evacua- ton at this time. "Our main con- cern," one officer said, "is to avoid a panicky populace. We are not going to punch a panic button"
 AS worked out, the dependents will gather at designated collec- tion points when the signal is given Saturday morning. They will be picked up by buses and driven as far as Palmer. There they will be processed as if they were beginning the long drive to the reception station at Great Falls, Mont. This would be via the Glenn and Richardson highway to Big Delta, on the Alaskan High way.
 In a genuine evacuation the de- pendents would be taken in con- voys across Canada by the U. S..

Army Plans More Alaska Expansion

GAP Special Washington Service)
 WASHINGTON, (P)-The army plans to send more men to Alaska as it carries on it's present expan- sion.
 And it wants Congress to appro- priate $29,305,640 for construction of facilities for them.
 This was revealed yesterday in testimony made public by the House appropriations committee on a supplemental request for $10, ,486, ,976,OO0 for the armed services for the year that began July 1.
 No figures were given on the size of the force it was contem- plated to put in the Territory.
 ''This is all part of the Alaskan development program for the de- fense of this country from that area," Brig. Gen. w. d.. Barriger, chief of the army's service divi- sion, told the committee.
 "We do not have the facilities there now to put the troops in that should be in that area.
 "As result of expansion of the army we will get in that area and we would like to have this appro- priation to take care of them"
 The army's request for Alaskan construction is broken down this way:

tackled at both ends of the western front today and were thrown back by U. s. infantryment in heavy fighting. With their casualties soaring, the apparently off-bal- ance communists seemed unable to get rolling with their ominous- ly poised offensives.
 The Reds made their heaviest attack on the southern end of the western front, but U. S. 25th Divi- sion infantrymen there slammed shut the attempt to break through for a drive on Pusan, main United Nations supply base. The Dough boys retook every inch of ground they had lost in bitter fighting.
 The Reds attacked the U. S. 27th Regiment on the northern end of the front. Nine Russian made tanks led a battalion of com- munists in the pre-dawn assault When the smoke cleared, four of the nine tanks were knocked out, bringing the toll to 10 Red tanks in three nights. No American tanks were hit.
 Behind the enemy lines infil- trations raised cain, covering roads with sniper fire. One road block two miles behind U. S. lines and 10 miles from Taegu was wiped out after it stalled Allied supplies to the front for two hours. The Americans fought un- der a rain of heavy artillery fire.
 But Allied forces held firm all along the battleline against the combined weight of nine enemy divisions 1000 men-poised for offensives in any of three direc- tions-down the east coast, from the north against Taegu, or along the south coast against Pusan. On the eastern coastal sector of the 12O-mile Korean battle line, the South Korean Third Division edged to a point nine miles north of Pohang, under cover of shelling by U. S. naval units. Just to the west of them, the South Korean capital division moved north and east of Kigye. 2
 On the Naktong front southwest of Taegu, wearied 24th Infantry division troops dug in along the east bank of the river where they and marines had wiped out a threatening communist bridge head. They kept close watch on another small Red bridgehead north of them at Hyongpung, IA miles southwest of Taegu.
 R correspondent William Shinn reported from a Korean port that South Korean marines landed at Ejak Island, off Inchon, Seoul's port, yesterday. The landing was the third made in the area of the Yellow Sea off the west coast in the past week. Other South Kore- an Marines advanced on the ex- treme southern front fro their pe- ninsular bridgehead on the Tong yong area, south of Kosong.
 With the Red momentum ap- parently halted on the fronts, ob- servers in the Orient looked upon communist China's appeal to the U. N. for a peaceful settlement" as possible attempt to save face and make the best of worsening situation which might develop
