Well. by now many of my read
ers Chose who started my nine
day reducing diet Tuesday, should
be feeling a little simmer. Those
belt bands should be a bit more
comfortable, and I am sure you
are experiencing all kinds of
symptoms of the simmer figure to
come.
If you have lost only two or
three pounds do not be discour-
aged. Stick to the diet. Before
the nine days are over your loss
will increase rapidly. Some women
lose faster than others, and it
takes little time to get started.

Long Range Planes Based At Kodiak

Navy air power is represented in Alaska by a squadron of long range Neptunes, sister-ships of the famous "Truculent Turtle" Based at Kodiak, with a cruising range of more than 5000 miles these Navy planes can fly nonstop from Kodiak to Adak, Nome, Pt. Barrow, Fairbanks, Anchora g e and back to Kodiak.
 During a recent four-week pe- riod, operating in the mainland Alaska and Aleutian areas, the Kodiak squadron established a new flight recor dof more than 1900 hours in the air.
 Especially designed to meet the threat of snorkey-type subma- rines, new version of the Nep- tune, known as the P2V4, will have even greater range and power through the development of a new compound" engine, a combination reciprocating engine and three small gas turbines. The new Neptune, built by the Lock heed Aircraft Corporation, will carry super-sensitive radar, ca pablo of detecting small targets over great distances. Armament will include cannon, rockets, tor pedoes, mines, bombs, and depth charges.

(By William R. Moore)

Near the Front in Korea, (P)- I saw two dead American soldiers Monday. Their hands were tied behind them. They had been shot through the head.
 The two soldiers lay just off a main road which carried the vital, frantic traffic supplying front line fighters. They had been there since Monday morning was told later by infantry officers at rear command posts.
 These officers said three Ameri- cans had been tied and shot in the head, but I saw only the two bed ieS.
 I found no one who witnessed these slayings. Based on what was known of the fighting at this point early Monday, the belief was held generally that the soldiers, riding in a jeep in the morning mist, suddenly found themselves only 20 yards or so from a North Ko- rean tank. With the tank guns raised upon them, they jumped out and surrendered. Their bodies showed what happened afterward.
 One of the green clad corpses lay face downward, the other on it's side. Cloth bands about three inches wide, like the bandages each American soldiers carries in his first aid kit, were tied so tight ly around the wrists of each that the hands showed brown, the arms above the thongs were much lighter.

Congress Revives "Wartime Unity''

WASHINGTON, R-Congress revived wartime unity Saturday as some lawmakers called for American ground action not only in South Korea but also in the northern home grounds of the Ko- rean communists.
 A 66 to 0 vote by which the Senate Friday sent $1,222,5.O,OOO foreign arms bill to the House marked the second unanimous tally in as many days for a mili- tary measure since President Tru- man ordered armed intervention in Korea.
 Previously years extension of the military draft had been ap- proved 76 to 0 by the Senate. MT. Truman signed that measure into law Friday.
 But action on these measures in the mill before the communists attacked South Korea-left some lawmakers unsatisfied that every thing possible had been done to open the way for American suc- cess in the Orient.
 Senators Knowland R.-CalifD, Flanders R.-Vt0 and Millikin R.- Colo.) told the Senate that all United States military operations ought to ignore the 38th parallel which separates North and South Korea.

Continued from Page One) bodies were in an area where see-saw battle ragged.
 Then came Associated Press correspondent William R. Moore, who found two more in front line area. The markings on the bindings of these two bodies were different from those described by Gates.
 The two Moore found had been shot in the forehead. The seven Gates reported were hit in the face by bullets.
 An army doctor, Capt. Donald Duerk of Long Island, N. Y, re- ported seeing three bound bodies at an aid station. At least one of these victims had been shot be- hind the ear. He said the bodies were found in an area recaptured by the Americans.
 General Macarthur has warn ed the North Koreans that those responsible for the atrocity slay- ings will be punished. He had or dered United Nations soldiers to observe the rules of civilized war fare.
 South Korea commanders have so instructed their troops.

Americans Spend Less On Liquor

WASHINGTON, (P) = Ameri- cans spent less on liquor in 1949 than in any year since 1914, the commerce department reported last week. It was the second straight year in which they cut down.
 The total 1949 outlay was es- timated by the department at $8,- 550,OO0,00O, a drop of $25O, ,O00, ,0O0 from 1928 and $1,O9O,000,000 be- low the postwar peak of $9,640,- 0O0,O0O set in 1947.
 It averages out to about $57.50 for each man, woman and child in the population-or nearly $90 for each person over 21 years old. In 1948, the general average was $60, the over-21 average $93.
 The ''hard liquor class, distilled spirits, accounted for the cutback in spending last year. Outlays fell to $3,650,O00,O00 in 1949 from $3,9OO, 100000 in 1948.
 Beer outlays dipped $10,O00,000 for the second consecutive year to a $4,435, 100000 total in 1949, but spending on wine rose an offset ting $1O,OOO,OOO to a $465,OOO,OO0 total.
 More than a third of the total amount spent on alcoholic bever- ages went for taxes. The federal, state and local governments pick

WASHINGTON, (R Assistant secretary of state John E. Peufi- foy was nominated by President Truman yesterday to be Ambassa- dor to Greece. He also will head, the American air mission to that country.
 Peurifoy has had charge of the state departments security and loyalty program which has been under attack by Senator McCar- try R.-WisO the White House an- nouncement of Peurifoy's new as- signment, however, gave no ex- planation for the shift of jobs.
 The nomination must be con- firmed by the Senate. That raises the question whether Republicans might seek to block the appoint ment in view of the controversy over McCarthy's charges that the state department is haven for communist sympathizers.
 Peurifoy, South Carolinian, is a career diplomat.
