was only a practice shell-but
Richmonders thought a war had
begun.
So there were holes today in
the Richmond Blues Armory wall
and four house porches to prove
it was almost the real thing-but
not quite.
There was amazement on the
faces of Richmond National
Guardsmen last night when their
75-millimeter recoilless gun went
of during practice.
And there was a realistic whine

Filipino Bandits Raids
Net More Than $4,000
BY the Associated Press

MANILA, Oct. 31.-Twenty- five
armed bandits netted more than
10000 pesos ($40.0O0) today in
daylight raids on a pay car and a
passenger train near Manila.
Three railroad employees were
killed and three wounded.
Capt. Sotero Maramba, chief of
railroad police. said the bandits
first ambushed the pay car at
Binan, village Is miles from
Manila. They took the 10000
peso railroad payroll.
They later attacked the pas
senger train as it pulled into the
village. There was no estimate of
the money and vaanables lifted
from passengers. N

churian points as distant as Har-
bin and the Russian naval base
at Port Arthur.
2. An apparently determined
policy to keep Korea from working
out its own non-Communist sal
vation by delaying United Nations
efforts to pacify, unity and re-
build the war-ravaged country.
Several Dams on Korean Side.
Most of the Yalu power install
lations, toward which American
troops are driving, are on the
Chinese side of the river. But
several of the big dams are an
chored on the Korean side.
This series of power plants,
originally built by the Japanese
when they controlled both Man
churia and Korea, is the biggest
power producer in North Korea as
far as is known here.
The National Geographic So
ciety says the Suiho Dam makes
the largest single contribution to
a total North Korean power out
put of about l million kilowatts.
Old United States Army manuels
estimate the Suiho at 100000
kilowatts.
Very little information has been
published about North Korean
power developments. Neither the
Japanese nor the North Koreans
provided public reports concern
ing them.
Reds Reported Attacking.
The United States 10th Corps
yesterday reported that Chinese
Communists were counterattack-
ing near the Chosin reservoir in
North Central Korea. Hydro
electric plants at this reservoir
supplied power for the large scale
industry on the east coast of
Korea. American bombers de-
stroyed most of this industry
many weeks ago, but they left the
dams alone.
American military officials fear
that if the Reds make a stand
here they may force destruction
OF the dams and power plants by
the Allies. Failing this, the Reds
might do the job of destruction
themselves if they are forced
northward.
Either way, the task of rebuild
ing Korean industry would be set
back.
Pattern Followed i'm China,
The way in which Chinese Reds
are appearing in Korea as individ-
uals or in comparatively small
groups suggests the pattern they
followed in China until they had
the Nationalists on the run.
Some American officials con-
s.der that the Chinese Reds expect
to reap propaganda dividends
from their last-minute appear
ance in the Korean war. A Chi
nese propaganda machine could
easily twist any clashes between
their small units and American
troops into charges that Western
"imperialists" are assaulting the
native defenders Of Asia. 4

Cotton Goods Sales Rise
Despite Higher Prices
By the Assoeio,ed Press

NEW YORK, July 22.-The
possibility the Korean war will
bring additional military orders
for cotton goods stimulated buy
ing interest in the cotton textile
market this week despite higher
prices.
Little actual business was trans
acted, however, with leading mills
sitting on the Sidelines until raw
cotton prices stabilize.
President Truman's request for
$40 billion in additional military
spending was expected to expand
the demand for cotton.
But most observers said there
was no justification for any fears
of a textile shortage, excepting
where speculation is involved.
Many mills have withdrawn
from the market during the past
couple of weeks to reprice their
goods and bring them more in
line with increased raw material
costs.
There was little yardage avail
able in the popular print cloths
and broadclothS for the balance
of the year and sales were scat
tered. The popular 80-square
print cloth moved up to 241a
cents yard.

War-Scare Buying Reduces
New Car Stocks Sharply
BY the Associoted Press

DETROIT, July 22.-War- scare
buying probably will reduce field
stocks of new automobiles within
the next few weeks to those in
transit from the factories.
Reports to home Offices continue
to tell of high volume retail, sales.
They tell also of the piling up of
new car orders at rate as heavy
as that developing Immediately
after World War II.
For many weeks passenger auto
mobiles have been rolling from
assembly lines at. a rate of more
than 10000 daily. That has kept
a substantial stream of new cars
en- route from factory to dealer.
Only a few weeks ago it was au-
thoritatively estimated that new
cars in dealers hands or en- route
from the assembly lines numbered
about half a million.
That total, obviously has been
sharply reduced by the demand
that developed with the Korean
outbreak. Counting the vehicles
in dealers stocks and those in
transit from the factories, the in
dustry's field stocks right now
probably total less than 100000
units. Many of these are of the
less popular makes and models.

Strong Demand Lifts
Rail Bonds in Week.;
Foreign Issues Up
By the Assoeiaied Press

NEW YORK, July 22.-Investors
in railroad bonds went on a buy
ing rampage this week and lifted
the market right out of the price
depression that followed the
start of the Far Eastern war.
Demand developed at the open
ing of trading Monday morning
and never let up until Fridays
close. Far from showing any
trace of WEAKNESS, rails were still
on the rise when the week ended.
1t was the longest and strong
est rally by rails since the sus-
tained upward push of last De-
cember and early January.
When the North Koreans at
tackled, war fears cast a pail over
the corporate bond market. Shock
after shock of selling sent the
Associated Press average of 20
rails down from 943 on June %
to a low of 925 last week. Then
the pile-up of demand reversed
the price course. Rails gained
1.9 on average this week, carrying
the index to 94.4.
Taxes seemed to be the big fac
tor In the wholesale advance, al
though purely military news also
played part.
Investors feared that as the
country plowed deeper into a war
time economy it became almost
inevitable that an excess profits
tax would be levied on corpora
tions. Rails seemed a good buy
as during World War II the car
riers enjoyed a much higher ex-
cess profits tax exemption base
than most businesses.
Also considered was the fact
that with war production increas-
ing, the railroads would be called
upon to carry more and more
freight.
Industrial and utility bonds
moved steadily during the week
while foreign dollar bonds slanted
sharply upward.
Hit even harder than rails at
the start of the Korean fighting,
foreign dollar issues, many of
them at new 1850 low prices, be-
gan to attract buyers again. The
AP index rose 2 full points at II.
This. however. left foreign dollar
issues still far below the mark of
75.2 where the index stood on
June %.
A highlight of the week was
the rush for the tax-exempt is
sues of States, counties and mu-
inequalities. Since no Federal tax
Is paid on income from munich
pals, the demand was heavy.
United States Treasury bonds
generally made little movement
during the week, except for par
TALLY tax-exempt issues which
made substantial gains.

Plan TO Speed Traffic
For Navy-MaryIand
Game Is Announced

A plan to speed traffic to and
from the Navy Maryland football
game at College Park Saturday

and the American Automobile AS
sociation.
It calls for no left turns along
the Baltimore Boulevard between
Calvert road and University lane

traffic and special parking ar
rangements.
Northbound through traffic on
the Baltimore boulevard (Route
u will use the inside or fast lane
with campus-bound cars directed
into the outside lane. This traf-
f1c will use parking lots to the

the Coliseum, the university heat
ing plant, the veterans housing
project and College Park streets.
Southbound boulevard traffic
will find cars headed for the game
being turned off at University lane
onto nearby campus parking lots.
University lane itself, from New
Hampshire avenue to the campus,
will be restricted to one-way traf-
f1c before and after the game,
heading toward the campus until
half time and away from then on.
