Sudden End of War Seen
Blow to Japanese Economy

Top Government officials are
being warned here that a sudden
cessation of the Korean war is
certain to precipitate a very
grave" economic crisis in Japan.
While the matter is not stated
in so many words, the implica-
ton is that behind the talk of
peace this may be the Commu-
nists' real motive in pressing for
a quick truce now in Korea.
The warning is being sounded
privately by diplomats, economics
experts and leaders of private
educational organizations who
have been touring the Far East
in behalf of the State Depart
ment.
Their conclusion is that Japan
today is on the peak of a flash"
boom that will burst like an over

the comparatively small territory
that would remain for North Ko-
rea would be acceptable to the
Communists as a buffer state be-
tween South Korea and Man
churia.
A Korean settlement would in
crease Chinese Communist pres
sure for settlement of the For
mosa problem.
Under the 1943 Cairo Declara-
ton. FormoSa is considered a
part of China. The Chinese
Communists obviously would
want a liquidation of Chang
Kai-shek'S Nationalist forces on
Formosa as part of any global
peace settlement in the Far
East.
Authorities recognize it would
be difficult, if not impossible, for
the United States to hold in line
its present allies if it should
continue to support Chang after
settlement of the Korean and
1ndo- Chinese wars. But to do
otherwise would invite all kinds
of domestic political trouble from
Chang supporters in this coun-
try.
The idea of eventual independ-
ence for Formosa, leaving Chang
Kai-shek in control there, is
talked about as a possible ap-
proach to a solution to the di-
lemma. Those considering it
are not very optimistic that it
would provide an easy solution,
however.

Diplomats Consider
New Setof Troubles
AsLikeIy yFrom Truce
By Gornett D. Horner

American officials are consid-
ering ways to meet a whole new
series of awkward diplomatic and
internal political troubles in
Korea if the Communists really
made peace.
Being talked about as possible
solutions to key problems likely
to come to the fore after pos
sible Korean armistice are moves
to:
l. Seek a peace treaty division
Of Korea along the waist line"
Of that country in an attempt
to satisfy South Korean objec-
tions to the suggested truce line
near the 38th parallel as perm
anent boundary with North
Korea. This would mean aban-
doning the stated United Nations
political aim for unification of
the entire country.
2. A U. N. trusteeship for For
mosa leading to independence
for that island stronghold of
Chang Kai-shek'S Chinese Ma
tionalists. This would mean
trouble, on the one hand, with
Britain and other free-world
nations which recognize Com
munist China, and on the other
with Chang and Republicans in
Congress favoring support for
his ambitions to reconquer the
China mainland from the Com
muniStS.
The Formosa problem would
be more acute if the Com
munists should move for peace
IN Notwithstanding there
has been no indication of so far.
Korea's future is a more likely
immediate problem in view of
the signs that the Communists
are serious about wanting to con-
clude an armistice there.
Unified Korea Doubtful.
One thing clear to authorities
here is that the Republic of
South Korea would not accept a
permanent division of the coun-
try along the suggested truce
line. Any effort to make that
permanent boundary between
South Korea and a Communist
North Korea would raise more
troubles than it would cure. On
the other hand, American au-
thorities are inclined to believe
1t would be impractical to try to
work out any settlement unity
ing the entire country.
Therefore, the possibility of q
permanent boundary across the
Korean "Waistline" e"-Some 30 to
100 miles north of the suggested
truce line-is receiving attention
here. 1t is believed the South
Koreans would accept such a di-
vision, which would give them
some OF the industrial and hy-
droelectric power resources of
the north to balance their agri-
cultural economy. It is hoped

The Indian. or Asiatic, ele-
phant seldom has a height Of
more than 10 feet at the shoul-
ders. An African elephant may
reach height of II feet or more.
All elephants are plant-eating
animals, but those of Southern
Asia differ somewhat from Afri-
can elephants in choice OF food.
While going about the wilds OF
India, Siam and Burma, ele-
plants eat vast amounts OF grass,
along with leaves, twigs and wild
fruit.
African elephants show little
liking for grass. They dig up
roots and feed on them. They
also eat bark and wild fruits.
Sometimes they chew small
branches Of trees. but they drop

Uncle Rays Corner

Today I have a collection Of
questions about elephants from
five boys and girls-John Ram
sey, James Davis, Linda Love,
Barbara Stokell and Mary Ann
Bates. They ask: .
How can elephants help peo-
pile? When they are used by
farmers in Asia, do they hurt the
crops because of their great
weight? How big do elephants
get? What do they eat? Are
elephants dangerous?"
Tame elephants help people in
several ways. They entertain us
when we see them in a ZOO, and
when they perform tricks at a
circus.
In some places (chiefiy in
Southeastern Asia) tame ele-
plants are employed as beasts Of
burden. India, Burma and Thai
land are among the countries
which use hundreds Of tame ele-

plants. The big beasts break
down trees by pushing with their
heads, and use their trunks to
transport logs. Sometimes they
are hitched to plows.
When elephants perform farm
work. they usually go through
fields only to pull plows. This Is
done before the crop starts to
grow.

However, he made his con-
tract on some excellent reason
ing. The opening lead was the
four Of spades and dummy'S
lone king won.
Mr.. Masters saw that he
would have to bring in more
than two diamond tricks to
have a chance. He could f1nesse
either way for the queen of dia-
monds or he could play for the
drop of that card by cashing
his ace and king.
After a little thought he
played the king Of diamonds.
Then he led the jack OF d1a-
nonds and let it ride when
Mr.. Dale did not cover. The
ace Of diamonds picked up the
queen and IL tricks were easily
assembled.
Mr.. Masters handling OF the
diamond suit was not merely
luck but a well-calculated plan
to give him the best chance for
his bid.
Here's the way he reasoned:
II Mrs. Keen had started with
the doubleton queen Of dia-
monds, she would win the sec
ond diamond trick. But she
would be end-played at trick
three. Anything she returned
would give Mr.. Masters his
twelfth trick. :,
What if Mrs. Keen had started
with three diamonds to the
queen? In that case, Of course.
Mr., Dale would have shown
out on the second diamond and
Mr. Masters would have won
with the ace and led a third
diamond. Mrs. Keen would win
and again she would be end
played.
The only situation where the
play would lose would be where
Mrs. Keen had started with all
four of the outstanding dla-
monds. However, that was very
unlikely and represented only
one disadvantage compared 10

Bert Bertolini Staging Three

Although rain caused cancella-

night at Wilmington Park. Head
lining the card will be a best-of-

popular Mike Paidousis, of Steub-

of Mexico, in the half-hour time
limit semi-feature, while Tony
Cosenza and Clyde Steves will take
on Lenny Montana and Jack Dillon
in the best-of-three-fall Australian
tag team match which ushers in
the evenings entertainment. Miss
Greene had childhood desire for a
career of singing and dancing.
Born and reared in Youngstown,
she is 18 years old, five feet three
inches tall and weighs 1873 pounds.
During her high school days she
engaged in basketball, tennis and
badminton. At an early age she
took two years of study in ballet,
tap dancing and singing. But,
when she read about several of the
girl wrestlers wearing diamonds
and furs and driving their own
automobiles she switched from
music to the mat and was an in
stant success. Miss Horton is %, |
weighs $50, and is five feet eight |
in height, plays good game of
golf and tennis, but prefers wrest-
ling to any other sport. She has
engaged in more than so matches,
has a good knowledge of all the
holds and counter-holds, and
plenty of strength for rough wrest-
ling if the occasion demands. This
will be the second Wilmington ap-
pearance of the girl grapplers this I
year but marks the first showing
of the colored cuties in Whining
