GE Atomic Workers Strike Called Off

Schenectady. NY Pl - C1O workers struck the top-secret Knolls Atomic Power Labora- tory this morning but called off the Walkout after three hours.
 Five hundred members of Local 301, International Union of Electrical Workers, voted out side plant gates to return to their jobs in the laboratory, which is developing a m power for US Navy submarines.
 The workers struck over what they called local grievances despite an agreement on new national contract between the parent TUE and General Elec- tric.
 The contract gives 10000 TUE members in various GEE plants throughout the nation a mini mum wage boost of 3 and one half cents an hour, plus other benefits. The same increase will go to GE's 137, ,O0O other hourly rated workers.

Twin Sergean+s Puzzle EieIsonifes
Eielson Air Force Base Oct. 4

ElelSOn AIT cree Base Ocf. (AMNS) - Which one are you?
 Sergeants Elvin and Eldon Chandler of Osborne, Kansas, Eielson's identical twins, hear that question endlessly. The 23 year old air policemen have lot of fun with their remarkable ress smblance, and so do the folks around the base, now that you know there are two of them.
 Things were pretty well mixed up when the twins first came here last fall and were working the same shift, each guarding one of the two base entrances. Eielsonites would frequently leave by one gate, return thru the other, and nearly drive into ditch from shock. One officer even demanded to know why the air force squadron was mak- ing their men switch posts so briSkly.
 This summer everyone tho't the situation would be licked, when one of the boys-Elvin or Eldon-came up with an aching front tooth. A trip to the den lists left gaping void discern able to all mankind. However, the non-ailing twin was in the dentist chair the next day, de- manding an extraction of the same front tooth. The doc yank- ed, and the twins were happy once more.

Search for Cannon Gains Momentum As Plot Thickens

oSWdIu lS dA1 dSOS ONSA tiiS search for the missing cannon. Clues are flying thick and fast. The first one came in about 20 minutes after the paper was on the street Wednesday night.
 Clue No. 1. The cannon was seen about Is feet southwest of Paulsteiner's sometime since 1941."
 Clue No. 2. Yesterday re- pentant Halloween prankster contacted the Seward Record and told the following story:
 "On Halloween, l940, five boys of high school age, only two of whom are now known 10 be in the city, set out in pickup to engage in some mischief. Someone suggested that the old cannon in Nile Park might pro vide a good subject for trick. The boys managed to load it into the pickup, and took 1t to the school, intending to place II on the principals desk. They had succeeded in getting 1t up the first few steps, when the door opened and the school janitor, who happened to be Joe Doyle at that time, pleasantly bid them good evening, and informed the Il ile was just locking up for the night.
 They loaaed me oIa cannon back on the pickup, and drove over to Home Brew Alley, where they dumped it in the middle of the driveway. IL is believed that taxicab ran into the can non later that evening, and ap- parently someone pushed it out of the way
 Here the story of our inform ant ends, since the boys con cerned in the prank said no more about the matter, or even investigated the question of who removed it and where it was taken from there, fearing that they might get into trouble over the damage to the taxicab.
 (Ed. note: We have agreed to protect the anonymity of our informant)
 Clue No. 3. A report that the missing cannon was at the bot tom of a heap of trash taken out of the Alaska Transfer company barns, led several members of the Chamber of Commerce to visit the scene last night. They did not get to the bottom of the pile where the relic is said to be resting, but a number of pic lures were taken of the group and will appear in print in the near future. The search will continue throughout today.
 Clue No. 4. Several persons are certain that the old gun was cut up for scrap early in World War II. Others think they have seen the carriage stored away in some warehouse" in town Still more people declare that there was no carriage, that the old cannon barrel stood on 8 concrete emplacement.
 It may be that Seward will end up with more than one can non! Keep the clues coming!

REDS " FAX IN WEST
US. Eighth Army Headquar-

us. Eighth Army Headquar- ters. Korea R - Chinese front line defenses appeared to be crumbling in the west today before an offensive of 100000 United Nations troops.
 Battered Reds retreated north ward in some sectors. Some hills were completely abandoned after days of bitter fighting. Elsewhere only die-hard rear guards delayed U.N troops.
 Soldiers of nine United Ma tions moved forward cautiously for limited gains.
 Late in the day Reds lashed back with counterattacks in efforts to recapture some aban- doned hills.
 Elsewhere:
 l. The air over northwest Korea famed with three jet battles involving 220 planes. This was the greatest number of jets ever reported in action on one day. The Fifth Air Force reported one Red jet shot down, two damaged. It said all Allied jets returned from the first two battles, but didn't say how they fared in the third.
 2. Allied troops slashed for ward on each side of Heartbreak Ridge in a revival of warfare in the mountainous east. JUN. infantrymen advanced 1000 wards to the west of the ridge while a tank patrol shot up Reds on the east.
 3. Reds were silent on Gen. Matthew B. Ridgways invita- tion to pick a new site in No Man s-Land to renew disrupted cease fire talks. Red Korean pc litical officers were quoted as saving there would be no nego- tiated truce in Korea in the near future.
 Frontline dispatches from the western front reported these major gains Friday in the third day of the drive:
 1. The US. Third Division took key hill in the center of the line-Without firing a shot,
 2. Just south of the Third, the US. First Cavalry Division beat off series of pre-dawn counter attacks, and captured three hills north of Yonchon in the day light. At nightfall they were fighting counterattacking Chi nese trying to recapture one of the hills.
 3. The British Commonwealth Division made gains of up to a mile and half in the sector reaching from Yonchon seven miles south to the 38th Parallel. They fought off one Red coun- terattack late in the daV.

Barn With History
Although the old barn where
the party was held has seen many
a gay evening in the past, chances
are its beams never got quite such
q workout before.
Its past glories were before
World War II, when it was known
as the Roadside Theater and
housed a summer stock company
With the advent Of gas rationing
the theater was closed and the
old place subsidized into being just
a barn again.
Now, after the success of last
nights venture, chances are that
it will have new glory as favorite
site for country style parties.

dent of the Stanley Steamer Co.
smiled proudly at his triumph.
II feel 100 per cent. was sure
all along I would win," he said in
his moment Of victory.
Rube DeLaunty, 70, who coaxed
the gasoline antique eastward,
only grunted.
Sponsored by the Chicago Mu-
semum of Science and Industry,
where both drivers work, and
Popular Mechanics Magazine, the
battle of the antiques was worth
$500 to Mr.. Brause.
After the race ended, the two
auto granddaddy's tore into mid
town New York-as jaywalkers
crawled out of the way-for a
brief visit beneath Rockefeller
Center's towering skyscrapers.
On hand to greet the septua-
genarians was Singer James Mel
ton, a collector of antique autos.
He offered to bet Mr.. Brause

to any place in the United States
in my 1907 Locomobile.
Mr.. BrauSe said the Steamer is
owned by the Chicago Museum
and he could not make a decision
on the offer.
