doing, but We will work it out

how American womenfolk helped
their husbands during the rush of

Senator McCarthy's sale on an
article to the Government aided
Luston house building firm for
$4,000.
He'd probably be better off if
he quit speaking and did more
writing" Mr.. Brannan added. "If
he could find market for his
fiction as profitable as for his
article on housing. he'd likely be
able to pay State income taxes

This was dig at Senator Nc
Carthy's income tax reports, pub

showed no tax payments for four
years due to deductions for stock
market losses and interest pay

Mr.. Brannan charged that Re-
publican leaders seek to grasp
rule of the country by fear"
Fear is the line that Taft (Ohio
Senator), Wherry (Nebraska Sen
ator). Mccarthy, Wiley (Wisconsin
Senator) and the rest of the Re
publican Party spokesmen offer
the American people" the speaker
said.
He spoke at a Jefferson-Jack-

plate for most persons and $100
for sponsors, was held by the
Democratic Party to raise money
for the fall election campaign in
Wisconsin. About 1900 persons

Most of the people on the plane

an artillery battle. Shells from
American positions wooshed over
head and were answered by whin-
ing cylinders of death from the
North Koreans. The southwark
fire caused few casualties.
Earlier Saturday the 120-milli-
meter Russian-made guns, with
which the North Koreans had
done so much damage early in
the invasion, had fallen strangely
silent. South Korean officers said
Red tanks also were failing to
reply to American barrages. It was
thought they might be running
short of ammunition and fuel
lines farther north.
Later Saturday, however, the
Communists heavy guns went
back into action and an American
spokesman said they were shoot
ing as if they had plenty of am
munition.
Prisoners Still Full of Pep.
Many at United States field
headquarters felt that if the
Northern drive had not already
been stopped it would be quickly.
Acting Premier and Defense Min
ister Slim Sung Mo said the Reds
had banked on taking Seoul in
one day and the whole peninsula
in three before outside aid could
arrive. Shin said the rain was one
of the things that had upset the
Reds timetable.
At one place were 81 Northern
prisoners of war, described as still
full of pep" by their Southern
captors. Most seemed to be boys
in their teens. All claimed to
have been born in Manchuria.
They had surrendered after they
saw two try it first.
Their age made it doubtful that
they were from the two or three
divisions of northern troops
formed of Koreans who had
fought beside the Chinese Com
munistS in Manchuria. They were
tied together in threes by the
wrists, their belts removed to pre-
vent suicide.
We Must Stop Them
Air Force 1t. Philip J. Pugliese.
Jr.. OF North Adams, Mass, took
two cars up toward the front to
direct air strikes. With him was
Pfc. Edward L. Longston, 10,
whose father. Royce E. Longston,
is chief warrant officer in
Vienna and whose mother lives at
Richmond, Calf.
Pfc. David Beatson, 81, son of
Mrs. Florence Beatson, of Chi
cago, drove the other car, which
had radio equipment in the back
seat. One of us (King) occupied
the other back seat.
1t. Pugliese looked for a place
where We could see as much as
possible.
1t rained a while. Then it
stopped, and we kept going.

A jeep went by with 1t. Gen.

You're going the wrong way
right into a pocket" some one
said.
More artillery shells screamed
overhead. Their tempo grew.
Americans streamed down hill
side on the right.
1t. Pugliese began calling for
an air strike. His calls got no
response. (The dispatch did not
explain Why.
"Air power can knock out a
potential attack in ten minutes"
he muttered.
He kept trying.
The cars engine died and could
not be restarted. Lit. Pugliese
tinkered with his radio and re-
sumed his calls with a weak bat
terry hookup.
Finally two American jet planes
responded and quickly swooped
on the designated target.

Here is the dramatic account of

bers of the Local II boxing team
who are planning to compete in
Golden Gloves this year.
Heading the list are sgd Ulis,
Lewie Thomas, John n Fillion,
Wallace Smith and George Soul
ly, all holdovers from last year.
Ulis reached the welterweight
finals last year and should cause
a lot of trouble this season. Fill
lion was forced out of the tour
nament on tough break after
he was winning his fight. He
suffered a cut above the eye and
was forced to withdraw.
A pair of classy newcomers,
Lupe Suto and Willie Window,
will more than hold their own.
The rest of the squad includes
Bob Mann, Dick Christensen,
Joe Grier, Cleveland DeV0d,
Fletcher Sawyer, Duane Cornen-
welt and Norbert Sedelbauer.
The boys are working out
daily in the Local IL gym and
will be in top condition by tour
nament time. An Inter-club show
has been scheduled Dec. 18 in
the Civic Auditorium to give
the boys the feel of ring war
fare.

ners of the novice group Will
not be eligible to compete IN
the national show in Chicago
but will make the trip to wit
ness the bouts.
This is great step forward
in local amateur boxing as 1T
will offer the inexperienced
boys a chance to compete against
mittmen of their own ciliber.
Another advantage of the novice
idea is that the chance for in
iuries will be at a minimum.
n the past it was possible for
a boy fighting his first fight to
be matched with someone who
had 80 or 40 gouts under his belt
and maybe even championship.
Not only did this make poor
fight but neither boy would gain
from the fight.
Local IL has had team in the
tournament since its beginning
here and has always more than
held its own. The first year Art
Rae won the heavyweight title
and Cliff King the middleweight.
Rae repeated the following
year and King was nosed out in
the finals. Boys from Local II
have been in the finals the other
two years and with break or
two could have had additional
winners.

ager Jack Tighe will comprise
the Toledo Mudhen contingent
which heads south Friday for
the minor and major league con-
ventions in st. Petersburg, Fla.
In so doing, the Toledo officials
are bound for one of the most
important sessions in diamond
history.
OF course, number one on the
list is the minor league draft in
which the Hens hope to add
strength to their 1851 American
Association entry. The AAA
draft takes place on Monday,
December 4th, and Toledo will
have sixth choice in the annual
minor league grabbag. However,
it's probable that Evans and
Tighe will sit around for a sec
ond shot at the draft eligibles.
With the u. S. Armed Forces
likely to punch holes in the Hen
roster, it might be wise to select
a pair of veterans from lower
class leagues.
Manager Tighe pronounced
"tie") has already indicated that
he'll be looking over the list of
available shortstops at st. Pete.
When the st. Louis Browns
drafted Johnny Bero, it left To-
Iedo with but one short field
candidate, namely Alex De La
Cara. Alex saw limited service
at the post in so. Tighe and
Evans will also be scanning the
lists for a possible third base
man, right-handed hitting out
fielder and left-handed pitcher.
It's unlikely that they'll be sue
cessful in obtaining all three,

Reissued for the first time

useful information as is usual
ly found in expensive gun books.
Among the many new features
is a new range table for all Win
chester center fire cartridges,
Table of Wind Allowances, and
table of t r d 6 e S inter
changeable and adapted to the

Hard Top
Daredevils
In Arena

Daredevils who drive the Tiny
hard tops" in quest of gold and
glory will wheel out their little
mounts for another series of
sprint races tomorrow night in
Toledo's Sports Arena, and rae
ing fans of this area are looking
forward to an exciting evening
of thrill entertainment.
Racing on the flat concrete
track, the drivers had consider
able trouble learning to handle
the course at high speed during
the inaugural program last Nov.
10, but even during the course
O fthat meet it was obvious that
the expert chauffeurs were mas
tering the tricks of getting
around the small oval at faster
than-safe speed.
Brown has entered his CroS-
rley again and will have such
nationally known stars as Mike
Klapak of Warren, o., and Ros-
coe (Pappy) Hough of Peterson
as his chief name rivals. Prob
ably the name business doesn't t
mean so much in this style of
racing as neither lapak nor
Hough finished among the top
six in the opener, but the fact
they are returning tomorrow
night indicates they believe they
have figured out a successful
combination. The first nine
events will be raced at $50
p. m., and good seats are avail
able in all sections.

but nevertheless, that's the cur
rent plan.
After the draft sessions, Evans
and many other minor league
officials must decide what to do
about declining attendance fl
cures. It's not improbable that
television will be eliminated en-
tirely or reduced to minimum
in the minors. Curbs will also
be sought on telecasts of major
league contests.
American Association direc-
tors will also adopt their 1851
schedule at the st. Petersburg
