HOme-Building

~ Before the recent downturn in
private home building, new rec
ord had been established this year
for the number of new dwellings
started. Government statistics
placed the total of new non-farm
dwellings for the first nine months
of 1850 at 100000, compared with
1,025,000 in all of 1949 and the
previous annual peak of 937, 900 in
1925. The value of new construc-
ton of all kinds for the first ten
months of 1850 was estimated at
$22,800, 100000, % per cent more
than the total for the same period
of 1949.

checked last fall with graduate
managers from Pennsylvania, Yale,
UCLA and Southern California.
Each figured television had cost
them around II, 900 paid admissions
each game-especially each inn
portant game. This was equal to a
loss of $3.50 a game. They were
getting $77.000 a season for tele-
vision rights-not nearly enough to
make up the heavy deficit and keep
the sport going in the schools.

Bowl Phantoms

1t is still much too early to start
lining up the various Bowls. But
you can gamble each Bowl has
more than one Woodworking inspec-
tor working on the job. There are
now four veteran Bowls with sew
eral added attractions. The four
major Bowls are the Rose, Sugar,
Cotton and Orange, at Pasadena,
New Orleans, Dallas and Miami.
The Rose Bowl Is the most
uncertain Of the lot. The Pacific
coast champion will be in doubt
for several more weeks. II Ohio
State wins the Big Nine or Big
Ten title, the second-best team
will head west. The Big Nine
has no outstanding delegation
today. 1t could be Michigan,
Purdue, Ohio State, Wisconsin
or some other. The Big Nine Is
in the thrOes of an off year,
compared to its big years in
the past. California and STAN
ford still lead the west coast
people with Washington close
up.
The Sugar Bowl at New Orleans,
another $4,000 crowd getter, is eye
ing Kentucky, Tennessee, Mary
land, Oklahoma and either Texas
or S.M.U. AS the Cotton Bowl at
Dallas is banking on Texas or SIN.
u, unless Rice can slip in, it ap-
pears that the winner here will re-
main in Texas on New Years Day.
Just at the moment the Cotton,
Sugar and Orange Bowls are all
watching the same teams-Texas,
S.M.U., Rice, Tennessee, Kentucky,
Maryland, Oklahoma and any out
slider who may pop into the middle
Of the picture.
The southwest now has more bowl
entries than any other sector.
Texas. S.M.U. and Rice are all
strong. T.C.U. can move up. There
are no Bowl entries from the east.
There are none from the midwest
except the Rose Bowl nominee.

fOrnia where the Hollywood
track and Santa Anita are offer
ing a flock of purses from $780,
900 to $3.50, 000-with $40, 200 and
$4,000 pick-ups scattered all
over the Western Coast. At least
that part bordering Los An
geles.
The $230,000 purse will be for the
Maturity Stake, a four-year-old af-
fair where Hill Prince will be the
horse to beat now that Middle
grounds racing career has been
ended by broken ankle. 1t seems
impossible to realize that Calumet,
is no longer at the top. You turn
back and see Citation, Coaltown,
Whirlaway, Armed, Ponder, Fer
vent, Two Lea, Bewitch and many,
many others who have dominated
the tracks from here to nowhere
and back.
Ben and Jimmy were dividing
their big stable and were mopping
up. Both are among the great train
erS and they had the horses, large
ly the offspring of Bull Lea.
In 1947 Calumet piled up over
81 400, 200, an alI-time high. They
won $l,269,71O in 1913 with Cita-
ton and C0altown mopping up
at every track. Ponder was a
big money winner in 1919, ably
abetted by COaItown, and the
stables winnings totalled ST.
128,943. But suddenly something
happened. Something always
happens in racing. And not al
ways for the financial best. Bull
Lea suddenly quit sending
those crack tw0-year-Olds to the
tracks-two-year-olds who grew
to be fine three-year-olds and
fOur-year-Olds.
Calumet was certain Citation,
rated with Man o War as a three
year-old, would collect most of the
gold in California last winter. 1
saw him run several times, but the
14-month absence from competition
had taken its cut. Citation was no
longer Citation and then there was
Moor who would have taxed Cita-
ton even at his best on the coast
tracks. Citation may come back
again later. So may Coaltown, who
won IL straight in 1919.

Official Korean War Reports

the recent years by the North
Koreans. Though not considered
a large chemical installation it Is
a vital part Of the west coast in
dustrial centers located near
Pyongyang.
Most important of the targets
struck by the B-29s was the mag
nesium and aluminium plant To-
Gated about mile and a quarter
west of Chinnampo. This big plant
is more than a half mile square
and consists of so major buildings
and several smaller ones. Rated as
one of the two most important
non-ferrous metals plants In
North Korea. it produces annually
well in excess of 5000 tons of
aluminium, 1000 tons of magne-
sium by the electrolysis and brine
process and in addition has re-
Gently developed production of pig
iron of around 100000 tons per
year.
The Chinnampo marshalling
yards, north of the dock area. are
about 1000 feet long and have
eleven -by-side rail tracks. 1t
is bounded on one side by a series
of large warehouses. A freight car
storage yard in the same area is
about 900 feet long and 10 rail
tracks wide. Recent photographs
show that the storage tracks were
partially filled.
The dock and harbor area at
Chinnampo were not targets for
the B-29s as they have been heav-
lily damaged on previous assaults.
Capt. Harry c. Bagdy, of Ches-
ter, S. c., aviation medical exami-
ner and fight surgeon of one of
the B-29 groups who rode as an
observer said:
Part of my job is to see what
the air crews do on a mission like
this. The planes ahead of us had
started several fires In the target
area and flames were visible.
There was one big column of
smoke and many smaller ones
around the industrial plant. We
had a recon photo of the target
area and ! could see the bombing
was proceeding according to a
definite plan. The city itself was
not even hit in the residential
section"
.The marshalling yards were
hit by one of the bomber groups
before us. 1t really was in bad
shape. We could see the plant
east of the city still smoking and
could only see one big chimney
standing there above the dust and
fire., said SfSergt. John Holland

c. & O. Canal. This. he said. might
work in. well with the proposed
decentralization as it would give
excellent road facilities from
Washington.
The c. & o. project is one of
Mr.. Beall's pet plans. The first 26
miles of the roadway from Wash
Eington would be aafour-lane high
way with recreational facilities.
Highway Would Cost Sc Million.
Arlington County's part in the
decentralization project probably
would be limited to highway,
bridge and traffic improvements,
since the proposed new buildings
would be located we'll beyond the
county's most distant point from
the cent Of Washington = about
Eseyen miles.
81 County officials estimated 1t
would cost some So million to
make a controlled access high
way" out of Lee Boulevard. whose
200-foot right-of-way cuts across
the center Of the county. Ramps
would have to be constructed to
reduct congestion at right-angle
intersections.
Another potential four LANE
route through the county would
be provided by the Williamsburg
Boulevard, now about 20 per cent
complete. The boulevard, would
connect with proposed bridge
across the Potomac about a mile
below Chain Bridge on one end
and with roads in the north end
of Falls Church on the other.
Shirley Memorial Highway, it
was said, already is well suited to
take a heavy load of cross-country
traffic in both directions.
Mcmahon Stresses Danger.
Senator McMahon's comment
on the need for decentralization
cited the danger to the Capitol.
"It is a solemn fact that Russia
today possesses some atomic
bombs" he said. Ordinary COM
mon sense and prudence require
us to take certain steps in the
light of that solemn fact. If war
should come, we could not fight
without continuity in the opera
ton of essential Government de-
fense agencies. If the headquar-
ters of the FBI, the Defense De-
partment, Intelligence or civil de-
fense were destroyed, or even i'm
modified for q hours, our war
effort might suffer a grave set
back"
Senator Mcmahon noted that
the Presidents request for funds
o build four large Government
buildings at separated points will
house essential headquarters per-
sonnet"
He added that recent events
have demonstrated more clearly
than ever that international con-
troll of atomic energy is the heart
question of the peace" He said
he held that same view five years
ago. He declared that he hao
long predicted that this country
would have to take unprecedented
steps in self-defense if the
atomic ornaments race continued
II take no pleasure whatever in
seeing my predictions beginning
to be confirmed" he added.

Truman Favors Plans
To Bolster u. 5. Facts
For World Circulation

President Truman today ap-
proved the proposal of the advis-
ory commission on international
information to set up supplement
tary units designed to bolster the
governmental program for giving
facts about the United State to
people all over the world.
The commission, according to
its chairman. Mark F. Ethridge,
publisher of the Louisville Cour-
ier-Journal? proposes the creation
of panels that will bring in 'the
most experienced talen in the
country" to advise on information
policies. ~ sa
Various Media Covered.
Mr.. Ethridge. who saw the Pres
ident in company with other mem
bers Of his group, said it is planned
20 have movie, radio and news
paper panels and then a general
panel that will have representa-
tion from other types of private
industry. es
The respective panels would be
headed by members of the COM
mission itself. but the membership
Of the. group would be named by
the Secretary of State.
This advisory commission has
been studying Information opera
tions for many weeks and making
recommendations for their i'm
provement.
Truman Renews Plea.
Yesterday President Truman
urged anew that Congress give
the State Department the funds
he considers necessary to get "the
truth" to people on both sides of
the iron curtain.
The request was included in a
letter to Senator Flanders, Re-
publican, of Vermont and ~ other
Senators, who, recently called for
q total engagement of our psy-
Geological and spiritual forces" to
Offset Russian propaganda.
Mr.. Truman asked specifically
that they support an $89 million
appropriation for the Voice of
America. The House cut it to
$65 5,655, $50.

Mr.. Reynolds emphasized that
the plan will be a first step to-
ward solution of longtime crowd
ing and traffic problems which
have been troubling Government
officials, and thus will be Of per-
manent peacetime benefit as well
as important in the present emer-
gency.
It will take about Is months to
complete the new buildings when
the plan gets under way, he said.
Plan Based on Joint Study.
The requested appropriations
would cover the Federal buildings
and highway and communications
improvements to connect the out
lying facilities with the Capital.
The. program is based on a joint
study by the National Sec i.y
Resources Board, known to be
concerned by the concentra ,icn oi
vital targets in a relatively small
area; the National Capital Park
and Planning Commission, ano
the Budget Bureau.
Unless the international situa.
ton becomes far more threaten.

Mr.. Reynolds.

Mr.. johnson added that the
military assistance-an addition
to $1,222, SOC, 900 previously voted
by Congress for this purpose
will be geared directly Ito the
rate at which the recipient ma
tions raise, organize and train the
expanded forces to employ this
equipment.
Mr.. Acheson told the committee
IN a separate statement:
The best hope OF peace in the
present situation lies in the crea-
tion Of a position of strength in
these nations sufficient to deter
Communist aggression.
THE capabilities of the Com
munist movement for further acts
of aggression must be the meas
uring rod by which we judge the
adequacy Of our defense strength
BY this measure, it is evident
that p foreed-draft effort on a
very large scale. is required"
A statement by Paul Hoffman,
Economic Cooperation Admins
traitor. placed in the committee
record, called for a full distribu-
tion Of the rearmament task
among the free nations of the
world.
He said that Western Germany
IS capable of large-scale contri-
button to the defense effort, but
this docs not in any way imply
q revival Of the German military
machine"
He added that it did imply "a
recognition of the fasic fact that
unless German resources are
made available. Western Europe
will not be able to make its re-
quired contribution to the COM
mon defense effort"
Mr.. Hoffman said that because
OF the economic impact of Euro
pean rearmament, the standard Of
living in Europe and the United
States will suffer "by comparison
with what would have been pos
sible in a more peaceful world"
"A deterioration in Europe's
trading position" is sure, he said
However. he went on, ECA aid
'the financing with mutual de-
fense assistance funds of equip
ment and materials required fol-
military production in Europe, ano
the purchase with these funds OF
military items for use of nations
associated with the United States
will alleviate this deterioration"
