Meeting Sunday On center's Fate

An effort to revive the dy- ing Community Center will be made tomorrow afternoon and everyone interested in sustain ing the project is urged to turn out.
 The public is invited to the 2::30 meeting which will be conducted by the center's board of directors.
 A financial picture of the present condition and a history of the center's inception were given to members of the Ro- tary Club Tuesday noon. John Gibbons, member of the center board, said, By the first of September the community center will show a deficit of around $1000."
 He urged the members of the club to discuss the situa- tion and decide if they wanted the center to continue to operate.
 ''I feel that the members of the Rotary have more than contributed their share toward the upkeep of the center, <" Larry Wodlinger said, land I find that those who use it the most contribute the least".
 The city earlier had agreed to underwrite expenses up to $500 toward the maintenance of the center, Mayor Lee Bettinger explained.
 After a lengthy discussion it was decided to call the meet ing for 2::3O tomorrow and Ro- tary members agreed to urge everyone to attend.

k0-Reds Launch New Attack
By The Associated Press

oy l1S 11oooSICkOSu 4 SOo
 Korea - The Communists launched an attack on 25- mile front north of Taegu in what observers said looked like the opening major push a. gainst the defenders.
 Over 5000 tank-led troops were hurled into the battle. Other Communist troops drove back South Korean de- lenders for a short distance on the Pohang front near the east coast.
 On the southern front, American troops battled the Reds in close fighting as the enemy was reported building up an offensive which was ex- pected by tonight.
 In the air-sea war an Ameri- can heavy cruiser shelled Red troops and concentrations near Pohang and another American cruiser hit a Red supply train.
 The American Airforce con- tinued bombing Red targets and fighters continued to strafe and harass the Communists. Fifteen hundred British troops have sailed from Hongkong to the fighting in Korea.
 Washington-Chiefs of the Army and Navy returned from a quick visit to the front and said, we sensed a general of- fensive spirit and air of optim- ism" by all American fighters.

drifted boat at Puale Bay and reported to the ~cannery it's position.
 After losing the larger boat
 during salvage operations, the men succeeded in saving one
 skiff and reaching the beach. They spent the remainder of the day and night on the
 beach in the storm. Next day six cans of food were found on the beach.
 Teuber lost approximately $500 in bills when the Della II went down with all of their extra clothing and supplies. They spent several days on the beach then decided to row  their skiff to Kanatak, 3O miles to the westward. Meanwhile the co was noti- fled by the Mainland Fisheries cannery that the men were
 missing. Bad weather and
 storms prevented the co from locating the men.
 On Sunday, the two started
 rowing their skiff toward
 Kanatak. Heavy swells made hard work of it and they went
 onto the beach to rest.

Spillway Breaks,
 Reservoir Empties

Water at the city reservoir hit a new low yesterday morn
 ing when the two-by-four
 braces holding the flashboards
 in the spillway broke and re- leased three and one half mil lion gallons of water, a three
 week city supply.
 The reservoir emptied itself 1 in approximately 45 minutes as the released water rushed
 down the hill tearing up deep-
 ly rooted boulders and moving ] huge blanks and logs.
 A small canyon 15 feet wide and 10 feet deep was cut in
 the hillside as around 158,0OO ] gallons of water per minute
 poured through the six foot
 hole in the spillway.
 Mark Woods, engineer for
 Hubbell and Waller, currently
 working on plans for an exten- sion and improvement of the city's water system, estimated
 that the pressure on the bot
 tom of the fashboards was ap-
 proximately 3,100 pounds per
 square inch prior to the break. Much of the water collected
 in the beaver pond, used as an
 auxiliary supply by the city, at the foot of the hill from the reservoir. City workmen be- gan repairing the damage be- fore noon yesterday and late last night the reservoir was filling.
 It was not necessary to
 pump water to the equaliza- tion tank as the recent rain was filling the reservoir.

Zachariades' article berated
Greece as one end Of the Athens
Belgrade axis" Belgrade is the
capital of Yugoslavia.
Previous fears of aggression in
the Balkans have centered mostly
on a possible Russian-sponsored
move against Premier Marshal
Tito Of Yugoslavia. The Comm
form has blasted Tito since June,
1948, for too great independence
from the Kremlin.
Rumors have been rife that
Bulgaria and Hungary have
massed. troops on their frontier
with Yhgoslavia. Tito and his
chief lieutenants have exhibited
no unusual public concern, though
events in Korea have reused un-
usual speculation among the
Yugoslav public concerning the
reported troop movements close
to home.
Greece's military strong man,
Field Marshal Alexander Papagos,
last Saturday said he was not
worried by the reports of Red
military movements in the
Balkans. He termed them only
part of a war of nerves.
The reported shifts in troops,
Marshal Papagos said, were on a
small scale, similar to those noted
every year at this time, and Of no
danger to either Yugoslavia or
Greece.
The marshal termed "inaccu-
rate" reports that Greek Com
munist guerrillas, who fled to AL
bania and Bulgaria after their de-
feat in last years civil war, were
massing for an attack on Greece.
THE Greek Army is fully ca
pable OF destroying them if they
attempt a new aggression" Pa
pagos declared.
United States military experts
in Berlin said recently that Yugo-
slaTta has about 100000 highly
trained men in her army-more
than the Balkan comingform
countries combined. The Yugo-
slavs, they declared, could prob
ably fight off any attack except
one in which the Russian Army
took direct part.

example, had reported Communist
propaganda attacks on the nom
Communist Greek government
might well be a cover-up for in

inform countries, toward reports
Iof unusual movements of Com
munist troops in Southeast Eu-
rope.

The Balkan Committee, in a
warning of an unusual formal ma
ture. based it's fears on recent
charges by Nicholas zachariades
Greek rebel leader.
Zachariades, in the June Is
issue of the Cominform journal
said the United States and Britain
were -fomenting an attack by ex-
panded Greek armed forces on
Communist Bulgaria and Albania
Committee members denied that
the Greek army was being built
up. They said:
Since current history shows
that aggression is frequently pre-
ceded by propaganda accusing the
intended victim of aggressive in
tention, the special committee
cannot disregard the possibility
that such statements might con-
stitute an attempt to justify in
advance aggressive actions
The committee reported from
Geneva, Switzerland, where it is
preparing its annual report for
the u. N. General Assembly
U. N. spokesmen said committee
observers are still in the field and
its headquarters are still Sn Ath-
