B-2os Follow Smash
By BattIeship and
Carriers at Wonsan
By the Assoeiated Press

SEOUL. Sunday, Feb. L.
Hard hitting American B-29 Su-
perforts last night followed up
a day-long carrier plane and
naval gun pounding of long-be-
sieged Wonsan on the North Ko-
rean east coast with a time
raid on a 75-acre Red supply
center 10 miles south of the port
city.
The Okinawa-based Super
forts opened their bomb bays
over a collection of 110 single
story wood and plaster buildings
at PiSan.
The Air Force said returning
crewmen reported fires and sec
ondary explosions lit up the en-
tire area after the attack. There
was no Red fighter opposition.
Other Allied warplanes caught
TOO North Korean Reds in the
open south of Wonsan yesterday
and inflicted an estimated 176
casualties.
The Navy said Wonsan, now
paralyzed by the longest siege
in United States naval history,
was pounded by 16-inch guns of
the battleShip Missouri and
swarms of fighter-bombers from
three aircraft carriers until it
was "a blackened mass, marked
only by columns which formerly
were the smoke stacks of busy
industrial plants"
Two American destroyers also
Joined in the Navy's first big
joint air-sea attack on the big
supply and communications CEN
ter since last April. Wonsan has
been under naval seige since
February 16. 1851.
Wonsan is considered a likely
target for an amphibious assault
should the United Nations de-
eide to push north. Any landing
there would menace thousands
of North Korean troops below 1t
on the eastern end of the 155-
mile front.

Flyers Say Russians
Try 10 Wreck Them
| With Radio Fake
BY the Associoted Press

TOKYO, Sunday, Feb. l, -
American commercial pilots in
Japan said today that Russian
radio transmitters on land and
sea are trying to lure American
flyers off course.
For many months, false radio
signals from Siberia and the
open Pacif1c-possibly from sub
marines-have baited aircraft
over Northern Japan, the pilots
said.
Planes which would follow
such beams would be in danger
of crashing into mountains or
becoming lost over the vast
Pacific.N
The existence of the mock sig
mails was confirmed by United
States Air Force pilots at a
Northern Japan air base.
Signals From VIadivostOk.
Walter j. Lawton, a pilot for
OdRdI1 ALI od1Os
Zone set of false signals comes
from Vladivostok, west of Japan.
Other strong signals come from
the Pacific Ocean east of Japan
and it is my opinion that these
probably are sent by Russian
submarines. A ship would be
too easy to find. I believe subs
are to blame
A former United States Navy
pilot, Capt. Lawton few anti
submarine patrol missions over
the Atlantic in World War II.
S. E. Joiner. of Childress, Tex,
chief pilot of Japan Air Lines
and M. D. Sheets, of New
Brighton, Pa, another pilot for
the same line, also told of receiv-
ing the same treacherouS signals.
"The signals are on the same
frequency as radio homing
beacons in Japan" Capt. Lawton,
of Oakland, Calf, said in an
interview.
Other Aids Used.
IF we followed the signals as
we fly north from Tokyo to the
island of Hokkaido, we would
crash into mountains. If we fol-
lowed similar signals as we fly
from Hokkaido toward Tokyo,
we would soon be lost over the
Pacific"
Capt. Lawton emphasized,
however, that since pilots are
aware of the false signals, they
rely on other, trustworthy navi-
gational aids, averting any
danger.
He said that when a plane
flies north from Tokyo, the radio
compass automatic pilot often
will veer from a true course to
northwesterly bearing, toward
Vladivostok.
In flights south, the automatic
pilot swings from a true course
out into the Pacific.
BlameS Submarines.
II feel convinced that hostile
submarines are sending the sig
nalS," Lawton said.
A spokesman for the Far East
ern Naval Forces said the Navy
has mo knowledge of Russian
submarines operating outside
Russian territorial waters in the
Far East" ....
Capt. Lawton is a pilot of more
than IA years experience and
now is an employe of Trans
Ocean Air Lines on loan to Japan
Air Lines.
After World War II, he flew
as a commercial pilot before
joining TranS-Ocean in 1851.

Commotion Subside,
As Collins Defends
Operation Smack

The uproar over Operation
Smack" subsided yesterday as
Gen. j. Lawton Collins returned
from Korea with a final blast
In defense of perfectly sound
and legimitate" attack and not
a shooting show staged for brass
hat observers.
The Army Chief Of Staff an
grily told reporters at National
Airport that he was shocked
and astounded" that report by
one critical news correspondent
caused the furore. He added
there necessarily would be many
more such attacks in the stale
mated Korean war.
II can not emphasize too
strongly" he said, that Gen
Van Fleet (retiring commander
of the Eighth Army is more con-
cerned over any operation that
causes the loss of a single life
than anyone except parent or
relative of a man."
Three Killed in Attack.
Gen. Van Fleets headquarters
already had denied the attack
by two platoons of 40 men each,
accompanied by Is tanks, with
supporting artillery and mortar
fire and air support had been
staged Hollywood-style for visit
ing generals and war correspon-
dents. Three men were killed
and 81 wounded as the Reds
drove the attackers back.
Gen. Collins has been asked to
appear Tuesday before the
House Armed Services Commit
tee to explain the attack, Usu-
ally he would have deferred any
comment until then. But yes
terday he minced no words in
defense of the action.
Already Chairmen Short of
the House group and Saltonstall
of the Senate Armed Services
Committee have declared the op-
Grafton necessary for factual
reasons" after reading secret
Army reports.
Called Usual Procedure,
Gen. Collins explained it was
customary to provide operations
orders to observers witnessing an
attack. He recalled that he him
self had briefed war correspond
ents thoroughly before an attack
he led during World War II
which broke through the Ger
mans Siegfried Line.
Army spokesmen said the orig
inal report on Operation
Smack" on little Spud Hill in
the vicinity of T-Bone Ridge in
West-central Korea last Sunday
was written by a correspondent
of the Baltimore Sun Monday
under a Seoul dateline. It be-
gan:
"a strange innovation in this
strange, static war was intro
duced by u. N. forces on the
western front today-a battle ac-
cording to a detailed mimeo-
graphed scenario.
Selected observers were in
vited by telephone to visit the
front well before H-hour and
were given a written program
that looked like the schedule for
a stateside training exercise, if
not a Hollywood movie XXX"
The timetable had a colored
cover, which Army sources
maintained was its only differ
ence from other such documents.
Congress members later criti-
Zed the attack and the furore
was on.
Silent on COwardice Report.
Gen. Collins also told report
ers he had no comment on re-
ported cowardice in the 65th
Regiment but said full consid-
Grafton will be given to any ex-
tenuating circumstances" That
was in reply to a question con-
corning language difficulties in
the Puerto Rican outfit.
He was met by Robert T. B.
Stevens, whose nomination for
Secretary of the Army now is be-
fore the Senate, and Gen. John
E. Hull, vice Chief of Staff.

straight 1853 victory and is a
one-touchdown favorite to get it
in this afternoons game against
Virginia in Alexandria. Kickoff
time is 2::30 pm.
Virginia. playing for the first
time in Alexandria, is not re-
garded as anywhere near the
powerhouse it was last year when

dropped it's first two games.
Both teams expect to be
stronger than last week. George
Washington has regained the use
of two good linemen, Tackle John
Prach and Guard John Posta.
and Coach Bo Sherman hoped to
be able to use two full teams
against the Cavaliers.
Virginia is helped by the re-
turn of Guard Don Alexander
and Halfback Henry Strempek,
who should. tighten the Cavalier
defenses. Alexander. a 205-
FOUNDER, particularly is outstand-
ing as a linebacker, while Strem-
pek was one of last years regu-

Middies Get Chance
To Boost Prestige in
Cornell Game Today
oy Dill TuCHS
Stor Stoff Correspondent

BALTIMORE, Oct. 1O.-Navy's
once highly regarded football
team, which has looked bad and
good on alternate Saturdays,
goes out to recover a measure
of it's lost prestige against Cor
nell at Memorial Stadium here
today.
The biggest crowd to see a
football game in this city since
Notre Dame and Navy played
before $4,000 fans in 1851 was
expected. the result of the COM
pletion of two new sections in
the upper deck and a commercial
package ticket deal.
The completed sections have
raised the stadium's capacity to
more than $4,000. Only about
1000 seats are expected to be
vacant today.
Navy Is Favored.
The package deal, a promotion
by a Baltimore industrial firm
you buy a book of coupons at a
reduced price and redeem for a
given number of sporting attrac-
tions-helped swell the crowd at
the Washington and Lee-Mary-
land game two weeks ago.
Navy was favored in most
quarters by as much as 13 points
but there were some observers
who looked for an upset. Cornell
didn't hurt its reputation by los
ing to Rice last week, while
Navy's opening-game tie with a
William and Mary team that was
drubbed last week by Cincinnati
didn't add to the Middies' stand
ing.
Crushed Dartmouth.
True, the Middies rolled over
Dartmouth last week and their
supporters are struggling off the
William and Mary game as lust
one of those things" A decisive
victory over Cornell today would
go far toward boosting Navy's
stp nding.
Cornell opened with a 27-7
victc.v over Colgate and held
Rice on almost even terms until
the last quarter. Rice, ranked
11th in last weeks Associated
Press poll, led by only one touch
down going into the final quarter,
then added two more for a 1876
victory.
