Planes Raid Airfields.
North Korean planes and air.
field installations were primary
targets for the two-day carrier
mission.
On the first day two Red planes
were shot down and eight de-
stroyed on the ground. Then. be-
cause air targets couldn't be

systematic sweeps along railway
lines, Comdr. Lanham said.
He said IL locomotives blew up

desperation use.
Comdr. Harvey P. Lanham told
a news conference the Northerners
had many planes cleverly hidden
in netted revetments which were
discovered only by low-level
strafing.
The Reds have small dirt fields
scattered all over North Korea,
the air group commander from
Los Angeles said, and I'VE didn't

Comdr. Lanham said his pilots

Comdr. Lanham said Corsair

virtually all rail lines in the lower

Pyongyang. Planes covered the
country to about 20 miles north
of the Red Capital.
Propeller planes are better than
jets for attacks on ground tar

called jets superior as interceptors

You're Sore With Charles
Strong men don't cry easily, but
many were the tears I saw in the
eyes of red-blooded Americans
sitting near me from my ringside
seat.
That sort of reaction causes you
to form a strong dislike, almost
skin to hatred for the new cham
pion, Ezzard Charles.
l want you to think hard for u
minute on that score. Has Joe
Louis ever tossed a fight
in his life -?
Then why do some Of you read
ers stop me and with fixed-looks
ask me twas it on the level??"
No breath of ring scandal has
ever come close to the Ozark de-
stroyer".
Why indulge in ugly whispering
campaigns that have absolutely no
basis in fact, now that our idol
has been whipped for only the
second time in 81 fights?
Don't Forget Father Time
Two fellas were in that ring the
mite of Sept. 27, 1850. Ezzard
Chares and old Father Time. Louis
has lived a full life surrounded by
a gay-crowd who might or might
not have influenced his way of
life. Who can answer this but
Louis? :
At SO, his coordination was a.
wayout of line. His timing and re-
flexes had left him without having
the decency of saying :. $50 long
joe"
Those flashes of a once invinci-
BILE killer were all too infrequent.
Ezzard Chares can fight, let no
man tell you differently. He may
never fill one side of Joe Louis
shoes but again, : Who on earth
can -?
I rooted for Charles to lose. I
wanted Louis to chill him colder

Race Relations Is
Chief Topic

PORTLAND, Ore. (ANP)--
Chief topic on the lips Of citizens
of Portland, Ore, has been and
still is race relations. The reason
is that on Nov. 7 voters will de-
eide whether or not they want a
a civil right ordinance.
This ordinance was passed sew
eral months ago by the city coun-
Gil, but has not been put in force
yet because a petition was sub
mitted calling for a referendum
on the subject.
This law would prevent discrim-
nation by hotels, restaurants, and
other public places against a per-
son because Of race, color or
creed.
Forums on this topic are a
nightly occasion. Discussions have
been sponsored by the Portland Y
WCA, the City club, the Portland
League of Women Voters, and the
Portland Council of Churches.
In each of the discussions, usual
ly speakers took up both sides OF
the issue.
Supporters insisted that this
action would be demonstrating
democracy and would be a blow
to Communist propaganda, and OPP
ponents felt that this was infring-
ing on the rights of business men.
One opponent, Albert Gentner,
president ofthe Portland Hotel as
than a canned herring but, : he
didn't, I think Joe Louis would
want me to give Ezzard Charles a
chance to grow in fistic statue
Fairplay, dictates as much.
