.2War Correspondents
Wounded in Ambush
By the Associofed Press

WITH UNITED STATES
TROOPS IN KOREA, Sept. A.
Five war correspondents were am
pushed last night while return
ing in a jeep from the Yongsan
front in Southern Korea. Two
were wounded slightly.
Wounded were Philip Potter of
the Baltimore Sun and Jean De-
premonville of French press. Un-
hurt were Homer Bigart of the
New York Herald Tribune, Henri
de Turenne of French press and
Alex Valentine of Reuters.
Mr.. Potter was hit in the calf
of his left leg, Mr.. Depremonville
on the left thigh.
The five had reached Miryang
and were driving toward the
southeast port of Pusan through
territory active with Communist
guerrillas. They were attacked
with automatic weapons fire.
Being unarmed, they were driv-
ing with the jeep's lights blazing
but ran into a ditch. Mr.. De-
premonville was hit while help
ing push the jeep out of the ditch
Mr.. Potter said he wasn't sure
just when he was hit.
The wounded correspondents
were transferred to train at
Wondong and received treatment
at an evacuation center at Pusan
where they filed their stories.
In the summer of 1948, after
more than a year in Greece, the
Near East and the Balkans, Mr..
Potter returned to the United
States and was attached to the
Washington Bureau of the Sun.
He was sent to Korea shortly after
the war broke out.

IInternment Of Reds
Urged by KiIgore0 Over
Registration Proposal
BY the Associated Press

Charges of police state" tactics
we're hurled yesterday between
Senator Mundt, Republican, of
South Dakota, and Senator Kill
gore, Democrat. of West Virginia,
over their sharply differing plans
for dealing with homefront Com
munists.
Senator Mundt is one of the
writer's of a section of sweeping
omnibus anti-subversives bill which
would require registration of Com
munist political and front organi-
cations. Senator Kilgore says in
terning Reds in time of national
emergency would work better.
The omnibus measure. on which
the Senate will start debate to-
morrow was put together by
Chairman McCarran of the Senate
Judiciary Committee from five
separate Senate and House bills,
It goes far a field from proposals
advanced by President Truman for
internal security.
Kilgore Opposes Registration.
Senator Kilgore wants to rip
out the registration section. He
and other Senators are trying to
work out a plan to replace it with
authority to throw known Com
munists into internment camps
when the President and Congress
declare a National emergency.
This is an attempt to kill the
(McCarran) bill by writing into II
police state methods" Senator
Mundt said OF the Kilgore plan
They are adopting the tactics OF
the Gestapo and the OGPU."
Earlier, in disclosing his tenta-
tive plan to reporters in a separate
interview, Senator Kilgore
charged:
Registration is just a damned
harassment and a police state
method with no real effect in the
case of an emergency"
Kilgore Wants Internment.
He took the position that in
ternment of Communists plus Civ
ing the FBI all necessary addi-
tional personnel would safeguard
the Nation against espionage and
sabotage in time of crisis.
His idea is to give the Gov
ernment authority to seize and
put in camps all Communists or
persons who had been Commu-
nists within 18 months prior to
the emergency.
This would be done with the
idea of having machinery in OPP
Grafton whereby the dangerous
ones would remain interned and
those who could convince court
or an appeals board they were
not dangerous could be released.
Senator Kilgore noted that the
United States used internmenJ
camps during World War II for
japanese. He said he wanted to
"avoid the mistakes" made at
that time.

To be sure that it isn't, MIR.
Vinson warns that the Bradley
action will not be precedent in
suring that all chairmen- OF the
Joint Chiefs will be flve-Star gen.
erals. The basis of Gen. Bradley's
five stars, Mr.. Vinson said, will be
his magnificent war record.
It takes a special act OF Con-
gress to award the flve-Star rank
from which a man is never re-
tired but enjoys full pay all the
rest of his life. Had the GIs been
doing the voting in 1945 they
doubtless would have honored the
quiet Missourian made famous as
their general by Ernie Pyle and
others.

The perfect setup for a gourmet

tours reflect inside capacity.
Remember that the amount of
food you seem to require depends
largely on eating habits. If you
have eaten much more than you|
need, if you have had the habit of
stuffing yourself, your stomach has
actually stretched. Then, when you
begin dieting you feel hollow for
while until your stomach shrinks
back to normal size.
This is why the first weeks or so
are the hardest when one is
reducing. The only way I know to
stick with it then, is to keep your
eyes on the objective, slim figure,
and grin and bear it, knowing that
the period of discomfort will soon
pass.

WHAT YOU DO TO WIN

Here's how you take part in this big opportunity! Every issue this news paper will publish Alaskagrams in consecutive order, six each week for 12 weekS-a total of 72 Alaskagrams.
 Each Alaskagram is a group of scrambled letters which form mean ingless words or a nonsensical phrase. After an Alaskagram is unscrambled the letters form the name of a place in Alaska; however, there is one su- perfluous letter which is not needed to form the word.
 All you do is re-arrange the letters to form a single word which is the name of place in Alaska, and you also show which is the extra letter. For example, the phrase "For change" when it is unscrambIed equals ANCHORAGE" plus the ex- tra letter "F."
 Just remember that all place-names consist of only one word-and re- member to show the extra letter. There is only one correct answer to each Alaskagram.

Families Flee Rising Wabash
By the Associated Press

Imperiled townsfolk san d. bagged levees or fled before the rising Wabash and Ohio rivers in southern Indiana and Illinois to- day. Further downstream the big Mississippi, fed by all the swollen tributaries, prepared for the big gest flood night in 13 years.
 The historic fortress city of Vim cennes, Ind, expects a Wabash river crest of 281s or 29 feet Fri day. But army engineers say they may save the city from the flood waters. They say they have the manpower and equipment to hold out the river if it doesn't go above 30 feet.
 But on the Illinois shore of the Ohio, and along the Wabash and Little Wabash rivers, more fam lilies were forced from their homes.
 Hundreds are homeless in Illi- nois, Indiana and Arkansas. Evacuation of all persons living in the extreme north end of the Birds Point-New Madrid flood way in southeastern Missouri was ordered by United States engin- eers and the American Red Cross today. Nearly 12,OO0 persons are affected.
 Forty army trucks were pressed into service.
 Elsewhere in the nation, rain and snow plagued northern Cal ifornia and the downpour is ex- pccted to reach as far south as the San Joaquin valley of central Cal ifornia. Intermittent snows con- tinued in the snow-blanketed Pac- fife northwest. Colder weather swept into parts of the southland Below zero cold still held north ern border states in their grip.

 Six southern Pacific trains, held up for hours in Oregon's Cascade mountains by derailment of a snowplow and work train, re- sumed their runs yesterday. They carried 1,450 passengers.
 For many, however, the tedious task of readjustment was just be- ginning. Property damage ran in- to the millions of dollars and at least II persons were known dead as a result of the cold, wind and snow.
 Tacoma, alone, estimated the toll of pounding waves to small craft and waterfront homes and bulkheads in the vicinity of S1,- 100000.
