 ALL LINES
Allied Patrols Bitterly 0p- posed Brief Air Bdi-
 fIes Reported
By Associated Press

Chinese Communists bolstered de- lenses today in ridge lines guarding their vital massing area in Red Korea. Mud flinders Allied advance also.
 An Allied tank patrol rumbled back into Yanggu at the eastern end of Hwachon Reservoir on the East ern front Friday noon for the sec ond straight day. It had fought it's way in Thursday Friday it met no opposition
 Communist troops bitterly oppos- ed Allied patrols along the 125-miie Korean front except at the two ends of Hwachon Reservoir. Gains up to two miles were reported near Hwa- chon.
 Reds Digging In
 On the Western front, an Ameri- can staff officer said Chinese ap- peared to be digging in to resist any further Allied advance toward the Chorwon-Kumhwa- -Pyonggang supply triangle
 Reds streamed into new positions north of the 33th Parallel to de- fend the concentration area, start ing point of their ill-fated spring offensives. They filtered into new positions by groups of 50 to 500. Some dragged new artillery pieces through the mud and set them up facing LIN positions
 New Red Attacks
 An American officer said the ar- tillery movement may indicate the Reds plan new attacks in an effort to break up the LIN counteroffen- sive. One purpose of the big Allied drive was to try to touch off Red infantry attack prematurely.
 Tn the air three more Russian type jets were shot down. This brought to six the number reported destroyed in "A hours by swift Amer ican F-86 Sabre jets and a B-29 Superfort. One air fight flared near Pyongyang, North Korean capital and far south of the traditional jet battle scenes.
 II. s. Planes Crash
 Two American planes-an F-80 jet and an F-51 Mustang crashed and burned Friday afternoon behind Red lines The Fifth Air Force said the pilots could not have survived. It did not say whether they were downed by air or ground fire.
 The Pyongyang radio said four Allied Grumman fighters were shot down over Hamhung on the east coast. There was no such report from LIN sources.
 American seaborne air bases were augmented by the arrival of the big U. S. Carrier Bon Homme Rich ard. She sent her fighters over Korea Thursday for the first time. Pilots reported excellent results in hitting Red-held ridges near Hwachon. :

LIN Secretary Lie Puts Fight Issue Directly Up 10
 Those Engaged

OTTAWA, Canada, June 1 -IR-- United Nations Secretary General Trygye Lie today called upon the Communists to say whether they would agree to a Korean cease-fire in the general vicinity of the 38th Parallel.
 At the same time, Lie warned that if the fighting continues, U. N. members would be expected to throw in additional forces and battle with all the strength that can safely be committed to action.
 In speech prepared for deliv- cry here before the LIN Association of Canada, the LIN chief said:
 T believe that the time has come for a new effort to end the fighting in Korea. The LIN forces there - as things stand today have re- pelled the aggression and thrown the aggressors back across the 38th Parallel.
 "If a cease-fire could be arranged approximately along the 38th Par allel, then the main purpose of the Security Council resolutions of June 25 and 27 and July will be full filled, provided that the cease-fire is followed by the restoration oi peace and security in the area
 The 33th Parallel is the line which separated the Republic of Korea from the Communications mated North Korean regime before the Communists invaded South Korea last June 25,

BIG STRIKE
 IN BRISTOL BAY ARIA
Fourteen Hundred Mem bers of Independent
 Union WaIkout

SEATTLE, June l tR = Some 1,400 members of the Boring Sea Fishermen's Union Ind) went out on strike today in Bristol Bay, Alas ka. in support of demands for union recognition, an official reported by telegram.
 Jim Downey, union business agent wired from Dillingham;, Alaska, that the strike against the Alaska Can- ming Industry coincided with the ar rival of the first cannery supply ship from Seattle.
 Downey said the Sailors Splice reached Naknek today, and his un- ion would picket lighters and tend CTS taking supplies to shore.
 The Bristol Bay fishing season opens June 25.
 There was no immediate report whether members of the AFL Sail ors' Union of the Pacific would re- fuse to unload cargo onto the lighters and tenders in support of the strike The SUP mans the supply ship.
 Are Resident Alaskans
 The Boring Sea fishermen broke away from the Alaska Fishermen's Union (Ind) in January and peti- toned the National Labor Reia- tions Board for a collective bargain ing election All members of the striking union are resident Alaskans.
 In splitting from the AFU. mem bers of the new union said they ob- jected at moves aimed at bringing the AFU into the Harry Bridges-led International Longshoremen's and Warehousemen's Union Gnd). The ILWU was expelled last year from the CIO on grounds it was Com munist dominated.
 No Decision by NLRB
 The NLRB held hearing March 28 on the Bering Sea unions cleo ton petition, but has made no de- cision. Meanwhile, the union filed unfair labor practice charges with the NLRB on April against the Alaska Salmon Industry, Inc, for its recognition of the -AFU.
 George Johansen, treas urer of the AF'U, said here today he had been informed that some resi- dent workers quit their jobs yester- day at canneries at Nushagak, near Dillingham;, but had not established picket lines.
 LOngshoremen Act
 In his telegram, DoWney accused the NLRB of being unable to en- force the law last year when long, shoremen refused to load supplies for Alaska canneries. The longshore- mems action was in support of de- mands by the ILWU to have its Local 7-C recognized by the Alaska Salmon Industry.
 we will enforce the law this year by closing down the industry unti the NLRB moves" Downey mes saged.

U.N. Tdnks. Troops
Penetrate Comm.
Line Twelve Miles

Five powerful tank columns
and infantrymen of the Unit
ed Nations forces have pene-
trated up to twelve miles of
communist territory as the
bloody offensive entered on
its second day.
Army and Navy planes with
Allied artillery, laid down
a curtain of fire in front of the
Allied troops. The blazing at
tack was designed to destroy
seventy-five to one hundred
thousand Red troops w h 0
were exhausted in a fruitless
counter-attack last week and
then were forced to effect a
retreat.
The offensive was ordered
by Gen. Douglas Macarthur
during his visit to the battle
fields on Tuesday. An uniden-
titled American division
strongly attacked north of
Womb and captured an i'm
portant hill.

Churchill Protests
us. Admiral as
Nuvul Commander

Winston Churchill protested
against the appointment of an
American as supreme COM
mander of Western Europe's
naval forces. Prime Minister
Clement Attlee in a cutting in
terchange with Churchill
promised to reconsider the
matter.
The issue was raised when
Attlee confirmed the report
that the appointment of the
American Admiral William
Fetchner was expected mo-
mentarily as commander of
naval forces of the Atlantic
pact. He would hold a position
similar to that Of General
Dwight D. Eisenhower.
Churchill asked whether
there was not a British Admi-
raj capable of filling the job
and said the decision indicat-
ed a great decline in British
influence and in other coun-
trys' estimation of the British.
No one is going to argue that
/ am hostile to the United
States but | do not believe that
our country should have fall
en- so far down the paths of
humility, he said. Attlee and
Churchill were asked to be ST.
lent by the opposite part"
members. Attlee started to
say that the matter had been
thoroughly discussed but that
it was not possible for a coun-
try to insist on its rights when
the conservatives were drown
ing it.

and. Certainly, close to a hun
reserved parking spaces, and the
grandstand was crowded at all
times.
As well it should have been, be-
cause the Donkey Races are a
unique event in these Islands,
and are popular with both native
Cruzians and tourists alike.
Governor de Castro was sche-
duled to make the opening ad-
dress but, owing to last-minute
pressure Of business, he was un-
able to attend. Norman Olson,
President of ViCorp, and Presi-
dent, also, of the St. Croix JON
key Club, greeted the audience
and opened the Races.
The 1st event was the GUINEA
GRASS DERBY, a quarter-mile
race which was run in three heats
first, second, and final. The first
two heats were fairly clear-cut.
Cladius James, on Cricket, took
place in Heat No. l. Christopher
Crabbe, on Revenge, won the Sc
cond heat. The Final Heat (Which
was run off at the very end of the
meet turned out to be an excit-
ing "photo-finish." The Judges,
lacking the camera equipment of
big race tracks, were unable to
decide between Cladius James, on
cricket, and Otto James,, on Sun
set, who finished literally meek
and neck" A re-run was the only
fair solution, and in this final"
Final Heat, Cladius James, on
Cricket, came in first and won the
grand prize.
The ERIC HATCH AMBLETO-
MAN (named for the Clubs first
President) was next-a driving
race for Jonkey Club members
only. Sprat Hall led the field, with
Jim Hurd, driving Duke" COM
ing in a hair or two ahead of his
wife, Joyce driving Virtue"
There were numerous other en-
tries, but special mention is de-
served by Paul Park and his en-
try "Prat Fall" Apparently, this

think! At any rate, our rowing re-
