ON THE WESTERN FRONT,
Korea, Aug. 8 Delaye0.-A ma

after being trapped by high water
for five days behind enemy lines.
In the past most of the Allies
trouble has come from Commu-

the weather-torrential rains and
raging floods.
The opera ton began the night
of August 3, when the American
force began moving over the I'M

Since last November, when the
Allies retreated from North Ko-
rea, this region across the Imjin

no-man's land. Twice the Chi
neSe used it as an assembly area
for offensives-New Years and
last April.
Recently there were reports of
another huge Red buildup. The
Allied command wanted to know
what was going on across the I'm
jim.
The task force was sent to find
out. 1t was big enough to fight
it's way in and big enough to
fight its way out if necessary. To
the south there was a British

Douglas Won't Run
For Presidency
By the Associated Press

Senator Douglas, Democrat. of
Illinois said today he will not be
a candidate for the Democratic
nomination for President.
Senator Douglas asked with
drawal of petitions being circu-
lated in Oregon to place his name
on the ballot for next Mays presi-
dental primary there.
Monroe Sweetland, Oregon State
Democratic chairman. said after
a White House conference with
President Truman yesterday that
a petition was being circulated to
place the name of Senaor Douglas
ION the ballot.
Mr.. Sweetland said he told Mr.
Truman that there is "overwhelm-
ing" sentiment among Oregon
Democrats for the President tc
seek reelection.
This byplay brought an asser-
Ition from Senator Brewster, Re-
publican, of Maine, that if the
President will make it clear he
wants the Democratic nomination
THE Republicans will pick Senator
Taft, Republican. of Ohio as his
opponent and beat him.

Military Construction
To Cost ST. Billion
Approved by House
Sl00 Million Allotted
For Projects in District,
Virginia and Maryland

The House today passed and
sent to the Senate a S5.7 billion
bill to expand military installa-
tions in A States, the District of
Columbia and overseas bases. The
vote was 1925. It's the largest
single military construction pro-
gram ever presented to Congress.
The program includes more than
$100 million for new construction
at Army, Navy and Marine posts
in Maryland, Virginia, and the
District of Columbia.
The fight by Representative
Gross, Republican. of Iowa to
block a $19 million program to de-
velop an Air Force base at Grand
view, Mo-, in President Truman's
home county, collapsed. Mr.. Gross
failed to get enough support for
a roll call and the item stayed in
the bill.
Among the items in the bill fol
this general area are:
Andrews Air Force Base, SITS
million.
Friendship International Air
port, Baltimore. $43.4 million.
Troop housing at Fort Belvoir
Va, $16.7 million.

4,5OO Missing Yanks
Believed Prisoners
In Red Korea CAMPS
Coptives Reported Held
Near Kongeye, 20 Miles
From Monchurio Border
BY the Associated Pres,

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. IA
Unofficial estimates indicated to-
day that Of the 10,624 Americans
officially listed as missing in &C
ton in Korea, as many as 4,50C
probably are being held in Com
muniSt war prisoner camps.
This figure comes from Allied
military sources which cannot be
named but which are in as good
position as any one on the Allied
side to know the score on this
hush hush matter.
The prisoners are said to be
confined near Kanggye, deep in
side North Korea, about 20 air
miles from the Manchurian from
tier.
Reliable information reaching
Allied authorities said Chinese
Red leaders do not want Allied
prisoners transferred to Chinese
soil. To do so would destroy the
Communist contention that only
Chinese volunteers" are fighting
in Korea.
10000 Believed Held.
The number of American and
other U. N. prisoners never has
been announced by the Reds
Allied sources estimate the total
number at approximately 10000
The Communist Peiping radio
has carried over a period OF
months the names of approx
lmately 1000 Americans it has said
were neing held in Korea. The
Red radio released the names a
few at a time in propaganda
Ibroadcasts from January through
early July. There have been nu-
merous Implications.
Invariably the broadcasts, pur-
porting to be messages written by
the prisoners themselves, stressed
that the men were being well
treated Most of the messages
urged that foreign troops be with
drawn from Korea so the wal
could end.
POW Messages Cease.
Since the Kaesong armistice
conference opened July 10, and
the question of troop with
drawals was deferred until later
conference at a higher level, the
Red radio has made no further
Droadcasts of prisoner messages
Allied authorities have said
little about the treatment of priS-

Flashes in Sky Spur Hope
For Il Aboard Navy Plane

Green, intermittent flashes in the
sky northeast of Adak gave faint
hope yesterday that a four
engined Navy patrol bomber with
II men aboard might be found.
Fog and rain hampered the
search for the big plane that
vanished Sunday on a routine
fight out of the Kodiak naval
station. It's fuel supply would
have been exhausted Sunday
night.
A search pilot in another patrol
bomber reported sighting three
green flares at minute inter-

landing at Adak he sighted an
other flare, which he thought was
closer to Adak.

is Dead at 88

BY the Associated Press

BEVERLY HILLS, Calf, Aug
William Randolph
Hearst died today at $50 am.
IPDT. He was So
Death came only a day after
the builder of a newspaper empire
sank into a coma.
He had been in i'll health fol
many years, but still kept an ac-
tive interest in his many news
papers.
Mr.. Hearst was attended at the
death bed by his family.
Present were his sons, William
Randolph Hearst, jr.: George
John, David and Randolph Hearst
Also present were Martin F.
Huberth, chairman Of the board
of the Hearst Corp, and Richard
E. Berlin, president of the corpora
ton.
Mr.. Hearst, patriarch of chain
newspapers, brought many inno-
vations to American Journalism
during the half century he di-
rected a vast empire with a value
estimated as high as 5000 million
at the peak of his spectacular
and often provocative career.
Violent controversies swirled
around him. Through his papers,
stretching from coast to coast, he
carried on campaigns for or
against causes, jousting with gov
ernments, highly placed indi-
viduals, criminal corporations, u
politicians and many others. He
went after public utilities and
Icrusaded for public ownership
He bitterly fought the old League
of Nations and demanded pay
ment of war debts after World
War I.
Mr.. Hearst championed such
things as the eight-hour day,
woman suffrage and election OF
United States Senators by direct
vote of the people. Intensely in
tereSted in politics, he served two
terms in Congress from New York
and aspired for other Offices in
cluding the Presidency.
The publisher was praised and
condemned. BY some he was re-
garded as a genius, by others as
a yellow journalist" There were
those who referred to him as a
defender of the helpless, and those
who called him a rabble-rouser.

Something in the air brought
tears to the eyes of people in the
vicinity of Union Station and the
Government Printing Office this
morning.
Several persons called The Star
to ask what was in the atmosphere
that irritated their eyes. The
Weather Bureau said it didn't
know, but pointed out that the
muggy, almost motionless at
mosphere this morning provided
ideal conditions for smog. Smoke
from Union Station yards and
traffic fumes may have been kept
low by the heavy atmosphere and
carried irritants to sensitive eyes,
