For the fourth successive day,
United States Air Force B-29s
took advantage of clear weather
over Korea to stage heavy strikes
against the North Korean supply
and communications system on
July 26.
Pin-point attacks were made on
the rail and highway complex
which is carrying Communist war
material. Visual bombing was
possible on all missions flown by
the superforts.
More than 180 tons of high ex-
plosives were dropped by the
B-29s on approximately 20 Sc
lected bridges and two important
marshaling yards. The targets
were chosen after reconnaissance
indicated they were being extern
sively used by the North Korean
forces to move equipment. person
mel and supplies south to the
battle lines.
Results of nearly all B-29 mis-
sions flown were reported as from
good to excellent, although In
most instances final evaluation of
the extent of damage will depend
on Photographic reconnaissance.
Direct hits were scored on a
railroad bridge at Seoul and an
other II miles southeast of Kae-
song. Three highway bridges were
hit and damaged in areas north
and east of Seoul and a fourth
was damaged 4 miles southwest of
Chunchon. Other bridges, most
of them in the area between the
37th and 38th parallels. were also
attacked and damaged.
B-29s of the Far East Air Force
Bomber Command scored direct
hits on the marshaling yard at
Chunchun, causing large fires, and
a successful attack was also made
on the marshaling yard at Sari-
won between Pyongyang and
Seoul.
Fifth Air Force F-s0 Jets and
F-51s were assigned targets cen
tered largely in the western and
southern sectors of the Korean
battlefront. Areas hit included
Cunchon, Kwangju, Chonju. Yong
dong, Simchon, Taejon and
Kongju.

Senate Crime Prober
Clears WoIfson OF Any
Gambling Connection

Chairman Kefauver of the Sem
ate Crime Investigating Committee

sented at the Miami hearings

Veterans Widows
Under New Ruling
Eligible for CT Looms

Unremarried widows of vet
Grams who died as the result of
service in World War II are made
eligible for O. home, farm and bu-
siness loans under the terms of
instructions issued by the Veter-
ans Administration to its field
offices.
Such unremarried widows be-
came eligible for VA-guartanteed
loans as the result of one of sew
eral amendments to the CT loan
provisions contained in the re-
Gently enacted housing act of
1850.
Elig Utility requirements f n
such widows to receive CT loan
guarantees in general parallel
those governing death compensa-
ton payable to widows of World
World veterans.
The veteran must have served
in the armed forces at some per-
iod between Sept. l6, 1910 and
July IS, 1947, and his death must
have been a result of service
while on duty, or from service
connected causes following dis
charge under conditions other
than dishonorable. Another con-
dition is that the widow must
not have remarked following the
veterans death.
Widows who are eligible for
CT loan benefits because of their
own service in the armed forces
receive no additional benefits as
widows.
CT loans for home, farm or bu-
siness purposes are made by pri-
vate lending institutions, with
VA guaranteeing the lender a.
gainst loss on a portion of the
loan.
One of the recent amendments
authorizes VA to make direct
loans to eligibles for home pur-
chases after July 10, 1850, in To-
calities where mortgage financing
at 4-percent interest is not avail
able.
