Woman S Assai|ant
Is Sought by Police;
Two Cases Linked

The 29-year-old wife OF an
Army sergeant was dragged into
parked car near her home las.
night and stripped of her clothing
before her screams apparently
frightened the man away.
Police have only a meager de-
scription supplied by the victim,
Mrs. Dorothy Brown Of 5000 Tnir-
teenth place NV, but they were
quick to link the attempted rape
with an attack on a 17-year- old
girl in the same general area the
night of November 20.
Sex squad officials said the same
vicious" methods were used-at
about the same time of night and
under weather conditions which
might help drown out victims
cries.
Police SWarmed over the area
last night and were pressing an
investigation today.
Mrs. Brown was en- route home
with groceries when the man
grabbed her by the throat and
forced her into a parked car about
100 feet south of Fort Stevens
drive NV. She described him
only as a young colored man,
about S feet Z inches tall and
wearing a loose-fitting cap.
When she fought him and con-
tinued screaming, he leaped from
the car and ran north on Thir-
teenth place, She said.
Found in the rear of the car
by two passersby, Lorraine Nichols
and Guy Velfy, both OF 1850 M
street NV. Mrs. Brown was taken
home and later taken to Walter
Reed Hospital. No evidence of
rape was found and after treat
ment for bruises of the throat and
knee and for shock, she was re-
turned home.

ON THE PYONGYANG-SEOUL
ROAD. Korea, Dec. 5.-This road,
for centuries the path Of aggreS-
sors from Manchuria, is filled to-
day with the men and vehicles
of the biggest retreat in the Ko-
rean war.
United Nations forces, hurled
from the northwest by Chinese
Communist hordes, are withdraw
ing down this slender, dusty thread
which links the former Commu-
mist capital of Pyongyang and the
ancient Korean capital, Seoul.
Endless columns of tanks, trucks,
heavy guns and jeeps are moving
southwark, bumper to bumper.
Only six weeks ago these same
vehicles thundered northward in
pursuit of q shattered North Ko-
rean Red Army.
Today this jumbled mass moved
south through every type of road
and weather hazard. Heavy trucks
skidded on narrow, icy roadways
f1anked by deep bitches. Jeeps a
few feet ahead became ghost like
apparitions in the thick clouds of
dust-overlying the roadway. A
light snow mixed with the dust,
which windshield wipers swished
into an Opaque paste.
Stirred into this cocktail of
weather along 165 miles of low
lands, foothills and mountains was
a bitterly cold wind. The wind
pierced layers of clothing like
rapier. 1t numbed hands and
faces and dulled the senses.
Trucks Of artillery battalions
became scrambled with headquar-
ters service units. Conveys jerked
and halted to a stop. and con-
tinual traffic jams developed.
Tanks attempted to dodge ahead
Of rumbling trucks. Disabled We
hicles were left behind to make
their way down the line as best
they could.
This was not rout. This jig
saw of men and material began
dropping into place as units

Hohzoff Order Lifts Ban On Punchboard Manos

Judge Alexander Holtzoff yes

had sent out punchboards for
taking chances on an alarm clock.
The temporary INDUCTION was
granted Crosby-Paige Industries,

March, 1949. A post Office order
came through on November 81 in
Structing not only that the firms
incoming mail be detained, but
that all pieces be stamped fraud

Attorney Horace ]. Donnelly, jr.,

abuse Of discretion. He claimed
also that, even if the recipients

the dark city as MPs feverishly
worked to unScramble the tumble

u. S. Supplies Driver
To Red Chinese for
NewAmericonCors
BY the Associated Press

BUDAPEST. Hungary, Dec. S.
Diplomatic incident:
Communist Chinas Embassy
here recently purchased two new
American cars-a 1850 Buick and
a Chevrolet. When they arrived
by freight from Switzerland the
drivers at the Embassy confessed
they did not know how to drive
them home.
The Chinese asked the Swiss
legation to help them out, but
the Swiss said they were unable to
do so. Chinese diplomats then
turned to the American legation,
which promptly sent over a Hun
garian employe. He drove the cars
to the Chinese Embassy.

Coal Supply Hit Hard
By Recent Cold Wave;
New Demands Seen
By the Associated Press

The blizzard of 1850 took a big
bite out OF Americas coal stock
pile sooner than usual.
1t is too early to say how much.
But further. a progressive increase
in industrial production and a
Forthcoming new demand for coal
in Europe point to far greater
needs in the next year than in
this one.
Bituminous production this year
has averaged 10 million. tons a
week. The National Coal Asso-
citation notes some things which
1t says will hold that average for
some time to come.
454 Million Tons Produced.
AS of November Is the total dug
in 1850 was 454 million tons. If
the 10-million-ton average holds,
the years production would be
504 million tons. although it likely
will be little less.
That is so million more tons
than last year, but As million less
than in 1948. And it's far cry
from the 619 million tons dug in
the peak year of 1914.
The country's consumption in
October was 38 million tons. In
spite Of some holidays when fac
tories were down, the weather and
the business upsurge probably will
show a November consumption of
40 million or better.
Europe Asking for More.
One industry source figures that
the total to be used by the years
end will be around 470 million
tons. On a 504-million-t ton pro-
duction basis. this would leave
Stockpile Of "a million tons.
There were a few weeks this
year when output got up to IL
million tons. but they represented
peaks. In some previous years IL
million tons weekly was the rule
rather than the exception.
Aside from the demand created
by industrial speedup. Europe has
started asking for more coal.
