Last Friday in a beautifully
pitched game Kurt zippe held the
Middletown team to one run while
his mates piled up five. The score
was 90 until the last half of the
sixth when Smyrna broke loose for
five runs after two were out. Dave
Jacobs double to left with runners
on second and third was the decid-
ing blow. Zippe then helped his
own cause with a hit and before
the home team was finised they
had five runs. Middletown got one
back in the seventh but it was toe
late with too little.

adding to the big Sunday bag
which the United States 9th Army
estimated at 1856 Red dead and
wounded from ground action
alone. OF those, 7,947 were on

killed a hell of a lot of them"
1t. Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway
9th Army commander, watched
the assault within a few hundred
yards of the front. The tank-in-
fantry task force rumbled through

Another column smashed north

The Western column ran into

South Thaws a Little,
Counts Damage From
Cold in Millions
BY The Assoeioted Press

The worst winter storm to hit
the Deep South in SO years has
left the area with damage in the
millions Of dollars.
Some cities isolated and with
business paralyzed for as long as
four days have just begun to add
up their losses. In Florida alone,
the driving. near-freezing rain
which whipped the State for 18
hours was blamed for the deaths
OF an estimated 5000 to 5000
cattle in nine counties.
Ammon Mcclellan, editor of the
Okeechobee News, said many head
OF livestock were weakened and
left so helpless by the storm that
they would die. He estimated the
loss in livestock alone at more
than 81 million.
Stampeded for Shelter.
Livestock men said many head
OF cattle that might otherwise
have survived the storm were
trampled to death as the herds
stampeded for shelter. Some were
reported suffering from malnutri-
tion as a result of dried-up pas
lures when the storm hit.
Most of the citrus fruit crop es-
capped damage and vegetable grow
ers were believed not hard hit, but
freezing temperatures were re-
ported again today as far south
as Northern Florida. Generally,
though, temperatures were above
those of the last few days.
Mississippi, hardest hit State,
listed Is deaths from the storm.
Louisiana, where the temperature
dropped to as low as IL below
zero at TalluIah, and 8 below at
Minden, had nine deaths.
Historic old Natchez, Miss, was
bestirring itself again for the
first time since the storm cut off
all outside communications four
days ago. No estimate of the
damage there has been made.
Nashville Thawing Out.
NASHVILLE, 1eLn., also was re-
turning to normal although it
was the hardest hit city.
Melting snow and ice sent the
Tombigbee River a little over a
foot above food stage last night
at Columbus, Miss, but the
Weather Bureau at Mobile, Ala,
said the condition was not serious.
There was no production as to how
much higher the stream would go.
AS temperatures climbed back
to normal levels throughout the
South, the Northern plains area
and Northern Maine again were
hit by subzero blasts. Readings
below zero were reported in parts
of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa
and Northern Maine.

Further China Action

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y, Feb.
5.-The United Nations today be-
gins the ticklish process Of stimuli
taneously wooing and threatening
Communist China in its continu-
ing search for peace in the Far
East.
Under terms of an American
resolution, adopted last Thursday.
the U. N. will set up a three-man
Good Offices Committee to try for
a negotiated settlement. At the
same time the 14-nation Collective
Measures Committee will con-
s!der sanctions against Peiping.
This some quarters described as
9 diplomatic version of an old
mule training trick-hold the car
rot of negotiations in front and
prod from behind with the stick
OF threatened sanctions.
The Soviet bloc plus India have
warned that it won't work. The
United States, Britain and AZ
other countries think it's worth
trying.
Britain Pushes Peace Talks.
The British insist. however, that
the possibility of peace talks with
the Chinese Reds must be thor
oughly explored before sanctions
are even discussed
London repeatedly feels that the
improved U. N. military position
in Korea may induce the Chinese
Reds to see reason more effec-
lively and more quickly than any,
thing else.
Some diplomats said local mill
tary punishment of Chinese Red
troops in Korea is a much more
effective form of sanctions than

TOKYO, Feb. 5.-America will
pay part of the cost of japanese
rearmament if the japanese are
willing to join a collective security
pact, a highly placed member of
the Dulles peace treaty mission
said here today.
In an exclusive interview, the
diplomat added that Washington
cid not expect Japan would be
rearmed completely. Japan will
continue to depend on the UniCed
States Navy and Air Force, and
Japan's coast guard may be REIN
forced with a few planes and light
warships to prevent infiltration of
the island by Communist agents.
America may ship arms to
Japan and make it possible for
Japan to pay for other weapons
by opening new export markets
for her goods. Washington is
fully cognizant of Japan's pre-
cariously balanced internal econ
omy, the diplomat said. adding
that it would be unwise for Japan
to weaken herself through over
burdening outlays for defense,
thus causing unrest and making
the Nation ripe for an internal
uprising.
In talks with the japanese lead
er. John Foster Dulles, head of
the peace treaty mission. has en-
phasized that the American peo-
pie are making great sacrifices
and they would not approve ex-
tending an umbrella of protection
to Japan unless the nation is will
