Mine Field Is Found
|0ff Coast Where Navy
Helps u. N. Advance
IS Moored in Group;
z 'FIooters' Sunk
By U. S. Destroyers
By John A. Giles

The Navy reported today the
discovery Of a field of approxi-
mately IS moored mines off the
east coast of North Korea, and
that American destroyers had
sunk two floating mines in the
same vicinity north of Parallel 3S.
A helicopter spotted the mine
field. A Navy spokesman at the
Pentagon said it looked like the
Communists were going in for
mine laying on a large scale"
The destroyer Swinsen destroyed
one floating mine near the Ko-
rean east coast, about 81 miles
north of the 38th Parallel and
the destroyer Mattox destroyed
another, 10 miles further north.
Floaters Prohibited by Pact.
The Hague Convention pro-
hibits floating mines. and requires
that mines of the moored type
become ineffective within an hour
if they break loose.
Only this week the Navy re-
ported the loss of the Minesweeper
Magpie by a mine explosion off
North Korea with 81 persons
missing. Earlier. two destroyers-
the Mansfield and the Brush-had
been struck by mines and dam
aged.
The spokesman pointed out to-
day that United States naval
units have followed the progress
of the South Korean Sd Di-
vision ur the coast of the penin-
sula to give fire support. 1t was
in this general area that the latest
mines were reported.
Some Russian Mines Found.
The spokesman said that it
could not be determined whether
the mines in the field were of
Russian manufacture, but Ad-
miral Forrest P. Sherman, Chief
of Naval Operations. has said that
mines recovered off the coast Of
North Korea were Mark 26" Rus
sian mines. He described them as
& rather standard type with
enough explosives to damage small
ships.
The spokesman today COM
mented that the mines had been
really bobbing up" off the Korean
coast the last few days. He said
there was no indication that they
were laid by sources other than
North Korean.
The spokesman added that such
mines could be laid by almost any
type ship or that they could be
dumped into rivers and f1oated
out to sea if they were floating
type.

Acceptance Of Old U. S.

FLUSHING MEADOW, N. Y.
Oct. 7.-Panama's offer to turn
over six military bases to the
United Nations for military pur-
poses is almost certain to be ac-
cepted if U. N. army is created
Three plans for using the bases,
which were built by the United
States during World War II. are
under consideration by U. N. mill
tary experts, it has been learned
The ideas include:
Basing of units in Panama more
or less permanently for defense
Of the canal.
Concentration of battle troops
for use in trouble spots across
either the Atlantic or the Pacific.
Creation of a regional West
Point" where contingents from
the Caribbean area and from
Central and South America can
be given final training for use as
U. N. fighting forces.
No Strings Attached.
DR.. Carlos Brin, chief of the
Panamanian delegation to the
United Nations, says his country
has offered the bases without any
strings for any plan worked out
by the U. N. command.
{The original offer of the
bases was made by DR.. Brin
at the United Nations near the
end Of August)
I'VE have the idle bases" says
DR.. Brin. "and are anxious to
play our part in collective security.
Panama has an advantage in
its location and also because most

DR.. Harmodio Arias, former
President of Panama and brother
of Arnulfo Arias who is President
now, is talking up the use of Pan
amanlan bases among responsible
American sources. DR.. Arias Is in

Bases Had Started Argument.
The bases are the same ones
that created heated discussion be-
tween Panama and the United
States after the last war.
Panama demanded that Ameri-
cans get out and turn over the
bases at once under an agreement

YANKEE STADIUM, N. Y, Oct.
THE Philadelphia Phillies had
their backs to the wall here today
as they started the fourth and
possibly the last game of the 1850
World Series against the New
York Yankees.
A crowd estimated at $1,000
jammed the stands to see Ed
(Whitey) Ford, the Yankees sem
sational young rookie, hurl his
hooks at the Phillies, whose bats
have encountered consistent diff
hculty in hitting any Yank pitcher
when the chips were down. His
opponent was Bob Miller as Philly
Manager Ed Sawyer desperately
tried to stop the New Workers
from making it four straight over
his Whiz Kids.
Odds Are lis Against Phils.
The odds were 11-to-5 against
Miller keeping the Phils' faint
hopes alive.
The smart money had to string
along with the organization that
made it four straight in 1927, '28.
'32, '38 and '39 and thus far has
shown no disposition to let the
series drag out to five games.
The odds that the Yankees will
win the series, of course, are
astronomical-say 1-to-50.
Miller, 25-year-old Detroit ma
tive and former University Of
Detroit pitcher, won II games and
lost six this year,
Ford was a key figure in the
Yankees stretch drive to the
American League pennant. The
little left-hander won nine straight
games before losing and finished
with 81 record.
Records May Be Broken.
If the Series does end today In
the same low scoring vein. it
threatens to tie or set several
records for a four-game contest.
With a total of only nine runs
scored by both teams so far. an
other tight battle would break a
36-year record on the fewest num-
ber of runs scored in a four-game
series. That mark now is held by
the Philadelphia Athletics and
Boston Braves in the 1914 series
during which the total combined
score for four games was %.
And unless some power hitter
clouts another one into the stands.
the record for fewest home runs
will be tied at one for the series.
This also is held by the teams that
met in 1914.
