High Winds Hit Anchorage; Do MuchDamage

ANCHORAGE (P)-Steady high winds downed power lines, shat tered showroom plate glass win dows and plunged this city into a temporary blackout last night. Shingles and roofing paper litter ed the streets.
 The violent blow, moving north northeast along icy Knik Arm off Cook Inlet, averaged 45 miles per hour with recorded gusts as strong as 70 and even 85 miles per hour.
 The weather bureau forecast di- minishing winds for today.
 Property damage from the day. long pounding was great and po- lice were called out to guard stores where broken windows brought a threat of footing. Fire men dismantled signs which en- dangered pedestrians and parked cars.
 At Merrill field, the city's pri- vate airport, planes were up-end- ed and torn from their fastenings. Two unoccupied craft crashed on the runway only to be sweptaside by heavy gust a few minutes later.
 The current failure left hotels, radio stations and police depend ent upon auxiliary power facili- ties. Taxis were left to shift for themselves without any centrally located radio call system.
 One fire was reported sweeping through forest land on the Palmer Highway near the Knik River bridge.
 Telephonic communication with Palmer, at the north end of the Knik Arm, was destroyed by a similar, but weaker, storm last week. How hard the community was hit by the latest blow was undetermined.
 The storm also swept owe rthe Kenai Peninsula to the south where where gusts of 70 miles per hour were recorded, and with lesser strength at Kodiak.

Korean Situation At A Glance %.
Friday. November "A. 1850

Gen. Douglas MacArth ur's United Nations forces launched a general assault today aimed at ending the Korean war before Christmas.
 Three Allied corps jumped off in freezing weather along an &C., mile northwestern front. The first thrusts carried up to eight miles.
 This is one arm of a giant nut cracker which Macarthur order ed, to "finish this off as quickly as possible"
 The other arm is in the north east where the South Korean cap ital Division smashed through flight intellectual resistance" to within seven miles of Chongjin, the big Korean city south of the Soviet frontier.
 Macarthur flew to the front to see the offensive get off to a good start. He said: "I hope to keep my promise to the CTS to have them home by Christmas" He added:
 "Tell the boys when they reach the Yalu they are going home" That was the stuff the troops were waiting for. They plowed ahead on all fronts.
 In a special communique an nouncing the western offensive, MacArthur declared: eff success full, this should for all practical purposes end the war, restore peace and unity to Korea, enable the prompt withdrawal of United Nations military forces, and per init the complete assumption by the Korean people and nation of full sovereignty and international equality"
 The U. s. Second and 18th Divi- sions and a Turkish brigade i'm mediately moved up to take over a 25-mile sector in the middle of the northwest line.
 The big northwest push began 45 to 60 miles south of the border.
 The South Korean First Divi- sion plowed ahead on the Tae- chon front, reaching within seven miles of that important commun- ist base.
 The Allied offensive, accompan- jed by strong air support, met only weak opposition although Macarthur said new Red armies had joined an estimated 100000 Koreans in the fighting. The U. s. Seventh Marine regiment ran into fresh division of Chinese Reds-the 89th-on the north central front. Previously the regi- ment had been lightly opposed in it's march to envelop the Changjin reservoir.
 The all-out push to end the war came as activity stepped up on the diplomatic front and follow ing a strange battlefront Hull dur ing which Tokyo was astir with peace rumors.
 A nine-member Chinese com munist delegation arrived in New York to press Red China's charge of American aggression on For mosa before the United Nations Security Council. Privately, if not in council session, the Chinese are expected to discuss and clarify their governments stand on Ko-
