YuItide Mail Is
Beginning; Urge
Early Mail Here

First class friends deserve
first class mailr Postmaster G.
G. Schlechty declared today, as
the arrival of Christmas cards
and gift packages at the Post
office indicated that the Yuletide
Season has officially begun.
BY way of explanation, the
Postmaster said, Most of our
grief is caused each year by hast
lily scribbled addresses that we
can't read, or Christmas cards
being sent as third class mail
which can't be forwarded or re-
turned if the addressee has moved
Loosely wrapped gift packages
are other trouble-makers that
can be avoided"
To offset these perennial prob
lens. Postmaster Schlechty rec
ommends that you begin now to
correct and bring your address
book up-to-date. And by all
means" he continued, mail those
precious packages and Christmas
cards early-next week, if pos
sible!"
Wrap your shipping cartons
carefully, with a good cord pull
ed over and under several times
around. Stuff your packages prop
erly to cushion any fragile items
they may contain. Use heavy
wrapping paper to help insure
safe and sound delivery
And remember, packages are
limited to 20 pounds in we.ght.
and must not exceed 100 inches
in length and girth. combined" ,"
Special care should be given
to writing or printing all names
and addresses clearly. No hen
scratching, please. Christmas seals
may be placed only on the backs
of packages. do Not Open Until
Christmas stickers may be used
if you're afraid someone will
peek.
The Postmaster particularly
stressed the Importance of send
ing all Christmas cards with
three-eent stamps as first class
mail. Actually, you save very lit
tie by sending your greetings in
unsealed envelopes. because the
rate for third class mail has been
increased to two cents.
Also. first class mail has these
advantages:
1.Your cards may carry written
messages.
2. They are dispatched and de-
livered first.
3. If necessary, they are for
warded to new addresses without
additional charge.
A. If unbelievable, they are
returned if the sender's address
is on the envelope.
Postal regulations, moreover,
require minimum postage of three
cents on envelopes smaller than
2 3/4 by 4 inches. or larger than
8 by u inches, whether sealed
or msealed.

MARINES DRIVE
1870 MILES IN
COMMANDO RAID

SEOUL, KOREA, DEC. 4
R-British and American Mar
ines ripped through Red defenses
130 miles behind the front in the
the most powerful hit-and-run
commando raid of the Korean
war, the allies announced today.
The Anglo American for ce
stormed ashore on the east coast
Sunday night under cover OF
heavy naval gunfire The troops
shot up communist communica-
tions and transport midway be-
tween the Soviet frontier and the
front
The announcement was with
held until, presumably, the raid
ers had withdrawn. U. N. naval
headquarters listed two British
commandos as wounded. No u. S.
marine casualties were reported.
The surprise assault on the
beaches near Tanchont 10 miles
north of the 38th parallel, broke
through heavy Red machine gun
fire and carried the raiders
astride communist coastal trans
port lines.
The surprise allied raid came
two days after the Reds captured
the island OF Taehwa, far up on
Red Korea's west coast between
the mouths of the Yalu and
Chongchon rivers.
The allies had not reported oc-
cupation of the island. But the
u. S. Eighth Army Tuesday said
1000 Chinese stormed ashore
from canoes, sampans and motor
boats.
British and Canadian warships
rillas on the island. The II. N.
command did not mention two
other smaller islands near Taehwa
which the Reds said they recap
tured.
The Red amphibious action ap-
parently led to Fridays big air
battle and explained the myster-
ious appearance of a blight of
Russian-type bombers. Eight twin
engine TU-2 bombers were shot
down by y. S. Sabre jets before
they could reach the islands.
Four Red planes, apparently
Jets, swept over Seoul in daylight
Monday in their deepest penetra-
ton. No bombs were dropped. But
three Fed planes, perhaps from
the same flight, did bomb the
frozen western front. u. 5. Third
Division troops were driven to
cover.
The allied command did not
mention damage or casualties.
Bitter cold became the worst
enemy of infantrymen on both
sides of the 145-mile front lines.
Temperatures dropped to zero in
the eastern mountains. There was
SO little fighting the U. S. Eighth
Aeny communique reported ac-
tions by squads.
In northwestern Korea jets bat
tied for the eighth straight day
Monday. Far east air for-s,s
(FEA) said four Red jets were
damaged. It reported no allied
losses. Fifth Air Force said the
score for the eight straight days
of fighting was 27, Six Y. n.
planes were shot down.

Reds Put Four Limitations
On Supervision OF Truce

MUNSAN, KOREA, DEC. f.
P,-Communist negotiators in
sisted today on four limitations
to supervision of a truce in Ko-
rea. The allies objected to all
four.
The Reds may have other re-
strictions the allies don't like.
But these four came out in re-
sponse to lengthy questioning by
United Nations delegates in a
newly created subcommittee:
l. The Reds would be free to
build air fields during an arm
istice. So would the u. N. COM
mand. But the allies have plenty
and the Reds haven't a single
usable field in Korea
2. Neutral inspection would be
limited strictly to ports of en-
try. The allies want inspection
teams free to go anywhere in Ko-
rea.
3. A ban on troop rotation
That would mean an end to
American veterans coming home
after a year of service.
4. No interference with or in
spection of any reconstruction
in Korea. Communist newsmen at
Panmunjom said much construc-
ton work in north Korea is un-
derground and the Reds don't
want the allies to know where it
is.
The new subcommittee two
from each side-was created to-
day in an effort to beat a Dec.
27 deadline. A previous subcom-
mittee drew cease-fire line
across the front to become eff
fective if an armistice is signed
by Dec. 27. That first subconmit-
tee took more than three months.
Vice Adm. c. Turner Joy. head
of the five-nan u. N. command
negotiating team, tried to get
more speed into negotiations. He
proposed another subcommittee
be created to start work on a
clause for exchanging prisoners
North Korean 1t. Gen II said he
would give an answer. But he
didn't say when.
There is one other point neces-
sary for an armistice. That is
recommendation to belligerent
governments on the ultimate
withdrawal of foreign troops.
The subcommittee for armistice
supervision went to work immedi-
ately after it was created Tues
day.
The Reds four points came out
in the subcommittee session. They
were the crux of nine-point
statement. This was a packaged
reply to 81 questions Admiral Joy
had asked about surprise Com
nunist proposal Monday to per-
nit limited inspection and to pre-
vent troops reinforcements.
The Red proposal would pre-
vent either side from bringing
military forces. weapons or am
munition into Korea during an
armistice. This was their answer
to the allied proviso against Mill
tary buildups.
Under questioning Tuesday. the
Reds insisted there should be a
ban on all requirements of indi-
vidual soldiers for any reason. An
u. N. spokesman, 1t. Col. Ho-
ward Levie, said that would mean
that even if soldier left Korea
for medical treatment or rest
he could return to Korea only af-
ter armistice supervisors made
sure he was returning to the pose
he left.
Levie said the Reds also made
clear it would be the end of the
II. s. rotation plan. The commun-
lists want the same troops to stay,
without replacement

j8 OUR
ca TOWN
FOOTBALL

ouI own lQea as 10 q means
to stop football subsidies and
the consequent scandal is to
give a football player a de-
gree. after four years of
hard knocks give the man a
degree of, say ID. F. doctor
of Football.) When we hear
that fellows like Otto Gra-
ham make over $4,000 a year
we feel that perhaps a good
player may deserve a degree
for his art. After all, it isn't
every lad who can step into
the pro ranks and demand a
salary which young intel
lectual wouldn't attain in
good many years. The big
wheels in our colleges think
no h ing of subsidizing
brains so why not Drawn. A
smart young person majoring
in chemistry and on a schol-
arship can obtain a degree
SO why not grant a degree to
a football player on a schol-
arship in football?
PREDICTION
We predict that Red Skel-
ton will be the top comic of
the year. Our guess is that
he'll rank over Uncle Miltie
and all the rest If only be-
cause he works harder even
than Miltie. Red said the
other day that all of our for
mer Presidents wanted to get
their faces OH our paper
money. Said also that Mr..
Truman wanted to get his
hands on It!
HuMMl
Which do you use. OK
or Okey? Well, according to
the dictionary, the proper
word is "oke" or "hoke"
which is from the Choctaw
language meaning. $50 1t
is or, alright. Other yari-
ations are, Okeh, Okay and
Okey-dolSey. The latter is
from hunger and means "al-
right-dalright"!
EVIL
Our old buddy, Mr.. Hey
wood Snugg, the Plato of
Skeleton Park, says that
necessary evil is an evil we
like so much we don't want
to give it upi
OUCH!
An old Britisher stopped
in to see an old friend who
was desperately i'll. Asked
old Terwilliger of the butler
who answered the door, II
say, may see Lord Fother-
ingham?" The butler with
sad look replied. Sorry,
Guv'ner, but he's already de-
parted" Old Terwilliger with
a thoughtful sigh said, Quite
all right, old man, but tell
him I called, will your"

Jim Britt, whom we think
to be one of the best base
, ball announcers, emmceed the
Army-Navy football game
last Saturday. Jim had a bad
time as he seemed to be out
of his element in announcing

many gems Jim gave out
were these. ION the very

Another was, the Army man
