B-29s Drop 40 Tons Of Bombs On Korean Hand Grenade Arsenal

SEOUL, (R-F Fourteen Japan based U. s. Superforts Monday night bombed a huge Communist grenade factory employing 2,OOO workers in northwest Korea. The factory was only 3 miles south of the Manchurian border.
 Far East headquarters in Tokyo said the sprawling works was one of the 78 military targets the LIN. Command has given advance not ice it will attack.
 It was the first time the plant, at Nakwon, half way between Sinuiju and Namsidong, had been hit.
 Results of the raid were not announced. The planes dropped 140 tons of bombs.
 But the BPS pilots, skirting the edge of the cratic typhoon sweep ing across the southern end of the Korean peninsula, reported they met intense anti aircraft fire. One plane was attacked by a Red night fighter but the Air Force said all IA planes returned safely.
 The Air Force said the muni- tions layout contained l7 primary buildings of steel and reinforced concrete and dozens of bunkers and ammunition stores catacomb- ed in nearby hills. The plant re- portedly produced daily 1000 antitank grenades and 5000 to 5000 hand grenades.

Investigation Starts On Accidental Firing On
 US. Tug By Minesweeper

Tokyo, P)-A US. Navy mine sweeper and salvage tug arrived in Japan Monday night for for nal investigation of an incident off Korea in which the mine sweeper fired twice on the tug, killing two and injuring nine.

 In Washington, the Navy said a Navy board will investigate to fix responsibility and to deter mine measures to prevent a pos sible recurrence.
 The Navy said two three-inch shells from the Chief hit tn e Grapple Friday night when the vessels were searching for small Communist ships off Hungnam on Korea's northeast coast.

Mountain Climber Ends
 1,OO0-Mile Boat Voyage From Juneau To Seattle

SEATTLE, <R)-Dave Hurrah, last member of the King Peak Yukon expedition to return, is back in Seattle after completing solo voyage from Juneau in a l6-foot motorboat.
 Harrah was compelled to leave the mountain climbing expedition when his feet gave him trouble. In 1850 his feet were frozen on his record-breaking ascent of Mt. Yerupaja in Peru, and all his toes had to be amputated.
 Harrah left Juneau on July 16 in the small boat, which is equipped with a 25 horsepower inboard engine. He arrived in Se- attle last Saturday, just a month later.
 He travelled only during day. time. While the steamer route is 870 miles, Harrah's voyage was approximately 1000 miles, due to the fact that he followed the shoreline more closely.
 "The toughest weather I en- countered was in Puget Sound" Hurrah said.

five-year-old son."
ESQ what?" scOffed tailor No.
l. sSMy son is eighteen"
ONCE m EAST BOSTON there
was a little tailor who had an in
durable weakness for buying
lottery tickets for the Irish Sweep
stakes. Out of each weeks meager
income, this tailor allotted Is cents
to his one indulgence.
For ID long years he never heard
another word in regard to the
tickets he had acquired at such
sacrifice, but one night there came
a loud knocking on his door, and
two men strode into his shop to
inform him he had won the grand
prize of $25O,OOO.
The triumphant tailor locked
his shop and threw the key away.
Night after night he caroused until
dawn. At the end of a year he had
not only squandered all his win
nings, but wrecked his health as
well. Disillusioned and exhausted,
he reopened his shop and resumed
his old ways, saving only the two
bits a week which, from force of
habit, went into new tickets for
the Sweepstakes.
Tyo years later there came an
other knock on his door. The same
two men bounded into the room.
This is the most amazing thing
in the history of the Sweepstakes"
exclaimed one. You've landed an
other first prize!"
The tailor staggered TO his

instead of putting it on. A
stray customer did show up at
one establishment on a scorch-
ing hot day and had a light
weight number run up for $50.
Four days after it was finished,
he came back believing, In four
days that suit you made for me
disintegrated completely. There's
nothing left at ALL" The tailor
answered. "And what do you think
is left of the eighty dollars?"

ANOTHER TAILOR had pro-
gressed to the point where he had
a shop on Fifth Avenue and made
suits only for patrons listed in the
Social Register. One of them
brought back a bolt of beautiful
British doeskin from Nassau and
asked, Is there enough material
here for a suit?" Definitely not"
said the tailor.

and sure enough, the second tailor
was confident he could make him
a suit from the material available.
He was true to his word, and
soon turned out a garment that
fit the tourist like a glove. Sudden
ly, the tailor's five-year-old son
trooped into the shop, garbed in a
suit obviously cut from the tour
lists material.
'Yes, / made suit for my boy
from the goods left over" he said
placatingly. There wasn't enough
to be of use to you anyhow"
At that moment, the tourist

Here's the secret Of making
real old Cornish pasties .

MINERAL POINT, Wis.
ID oBERT NEAL carved the Cornish pasty Five
IL quick strokes: once down the middle. four
times across. 1t was monster pie, bulging with
pieces of beef and sliced potatoes the savory juices
ready to run. A wreath of steam rose when the
knife sliced through the thick tender crust and
the smell came round and gracious, to make one
feel warm and comfortable. A pleasure to be
sitting here at this candleghted table in century
old miners cottage, on Shake Rag Street, Mineral
Point Wis
The fire snapped and made merry. In the fire

too, the tossed kind and no other vegetable. Des-
sert was the Devonshire cream.
After the plates had been polished - we didn't
talk much until then. for have never met any
body whose talk was better than good food =
Robert Neal told me the story of Shake Rag Street
and his dreams for the place. He told me the
history of the Cornish pasty.
Mineral Point population 2,284, in the rolling
hills of the southwestern part of the state was
once the most important town in Wisconsin
territory. Right here was the heart of the old
lead and zinc-mining region, an Eldorado of the
early 1905 for the miners of Cornwall. Times
were lean in the King Arthur homeland and
Cornish men came to America by the hum
dred, bringing their families, and their wives
brought recipes.
Cousin Jennie, wife of Cousin Jack. as the
Cornish miners were called, favored the pasty
above all dishes, the meat pie born of necessity.
At home this meat and vegetable mixture sealed
into crust was the dinner-pa special. Baked in
the morning, wrapped in paper, it was rushed to
the mine shafts to arrive steaming hot for the noon
lunch. Today throughout Wisconsin and Michigan
the pasty comes often to the table and in dozen
variations.
Handle Recipes
1T WAS in Chicago l heard about the Shake
Rag" restoration project. was told that three
cottages had been opened as dining rooms and
guest houses for visitors who come from all parts
of the country to see this bit of old Cornwall The
thing that determined me to go was that Cornish
food was served, prepared by hand-down recipes
of the housewives who cooked in these cottage
kitchens more than hundred years ago.
Having dinner by the fire, / heard the story of
the project from the man most responsible for the
undertaking. The street is actually narrow road

meandering along ravine. The cottages, of native
limestone, are built with walls 18 inches thick,
hugging close to the protecting ridge.
These houses were built exactly as those the
Cornish left behind in Cornwall and are restored
so perfectly they may we'll be more Cornish than
the real thing.
"Over there" Robert Neal was explaining, indi-
eating the ridge across the ravine were the
'dggings.' Midway the miners wives would go to
their front DOORS wave white cloth to signal the
men home for dinner. So the street got its name.'
The rich surface deposits of lead had begun to
peter off before the Cornish got here They didn't
get rich quick and home again they had planned.
The Cornish stayed until the mines were worked
out then some turned to farming Others moved
on to the gold fields of the West Shake Rag IS little
stone houses were left to decay. They settled;
stones separated; roofs tumbled in; gardens grew
wild
Story of the House
ROBERT NEAL of Cornish ancestry, born in
Mineral Point, knew the street as a boy. Even
then the houses were coming to ruin. One little
house he dreamed of owning some day, with a
garden in the rear, candle in the window, and
from the chimney violet spiral of smoke He told
me about it, this house we were sitting in. Robert
