THIS business of fightin' war
= with kid gloves on can't last
forever. It's about time we notified
the Chinese Reds that the day they
start their big push against our lines
in Korea is the day our airforce will
bust the Yalu river dams wide open.
IF our boys go on dyin' without our
usin' this Sunday punch, and few
more, someone is goin' to have lot
of explainin' to do.
And the way the international
situation is shapin' up we'd better
quit plaYin' ring-around- Rosy in
dealin' with our allies. There's
only one Yardstick that's worth
usin' when the chips are down as
they are now and that's the one
labelled. Are You Ready To Go
All-Out In This Battle For Free
dom?"
This country can't go on pourin'
out its treasure and rislxin' its
fightin' men for any country that
isn't willin' and eager to work and
fight to the utmost for its own
safety.
And its also about time we
stopped scornin' help from those
who have men and guns just be-
cause they don't polish their baYo-
nets with the same kind of cloth
we use. If you are beset by bunch
of ruffians in dark alley you don't
ask the fellow who offers TO help
you what church he belongs TO.
Havin' thus blown our top on
world matters let's now turn our at
tention to the domestic situation, as
the economists would say.
Martha's niece who works in de-
partment store tells us that the bust
est shoppin' day of all is the day
after Christmas when the women
come to swap the presents they got
for those they really wanted.

AS il looks from here. about all

Against Commissioners

Juvenile Judge, Maurice Beath-
ard, filed a petition for a writ of
Mandamus in the court of James
F. Bell November % which asked
that the Madison County Com
missioners appropriate the sum
of $3.50 to cover increased salar-
les and employees for the period
of Nov. / to Jan. !
After consideration, Judge Bell
allowed writ Of mandamus
which requires the defendant to
"act on said claim Immediately
on service of said writ, or show
cause why it has not done So The
hearing will be held in Judge
Bells court at l pm. on Dec. 10.
Beathard had formerly in
creased salaries as we'll as the
number of employees which are
considered by the commissioners
to be excessive and the commits
sioners turned down the request.
A spokesman for the commits
sioners stated that they consid-
cred the additional cost of admin

At one point, the commission
ers stated that they would not o. k.
any additional funds unless fore
ed by the court to do so.

Spring Here
In December

Take heart, you who re-
member the terrific snow and
weather of year ago and
look for the silver lining.
In commenting on the beau
ty and springlike temperature
last Monday, some one drop
ped the remark that the
weather of the first three
days of December govern the
months of January, February
and March.
If that be true, the report
Thursday of Leonard McNea1,
London's weatherman, should
blunt the urge that many feel
to take off for SUMMER. warm
er climate.
The maximum temperatur-
es reported for the last six
days were: Saturday, 81;
Sunday, 81; Monday, 81;
Wednesday AZ and IL am.
Thursday, So.
McNeal didn't remember
just exactly how these figures
stacked up with previous
years, but he said he feels
sure that it is a seasonal rec
ord for many years.
Thunder and lightning was
reported in some parts of the
county Wednesday night, with
heavy rain in London and
elsewhere.

Hint Reds Hold No More
Than Half Listed Missing

MUNSAN, KOREA, DEC. Z
tRD-Communists limited at Pam
munjom today that the Reds
hold no more than half Of the
10000 American listed as missing
in Korea.
The report came from Chin
ese correspondent outside the
truce tent where allied negoti-
ators, in a move observers said
is aimed at getting a truce quick
ly, agreed to discuss withdrawal
of foreign troops before an arm
istice is signed. But they won't
talk about it until the proper
time.
Chu Chi-Ping, a Red Chinese
correspondent covering the arm
istice talks, said he knew of no
war in which more than half of
the soldiers reported missing were
prisoners of war.
Il do not see why the Korean
war would be different from
other wars in this respect" Chu
said.
The communist newsman reiter-
ated that the Red command has
compiled data on allied prisoners
and will be ready with it when
negotiators take up the question
of prisoner exchange.
Other Red correspondents said
all allied prisoners of war are
in north Korean camps and none
has been taken to China.
They said all big camps are
near the Manchurian border and
all prisoners have been issued
warm winter clothing.
Maj. Gen. Henry I. Hodes, u
N. negotiator, told communist
delegates Friday the allies will
talk about withdrawing troops
from Korea after negotiators see
eye to eye on enforcing an arm
istice and exchanging prisoners OF
war.
The sudden reversal of allied
policy came as subcommitteemen
wrangled endlessly at Panmun-
jom over policing truce.
One of the key roadblocks was
allied insistence on rotating troops
and replacing equipment and am
munition. The delegates also
were a long way from argee--
ment on inspection behind the
lines and on communist insistence
on building airfields during an
armistice.
Until Friday the U. N COM
mand adamantly had refused
even to discuss plans for pulling
troops out of Korea until an arm
istice is signed. Allied negotiators
held the matter was political
and should be taken up at for
NAL peace conference.
There was no immediate reac-
ton from members of the COM
munist subcommittee trying to
negotiate a settlement Of agen-
da item three-supervision of the
truce. The delegates meet again at
IL am. Saturday % pm. EST
Friday.
