The mighty Mo recently led a big task force strike on the coastal strip leading to the borders of Soviet Siberia. "It's truly a" United Nations fleet," Admiral Joy said.

To carry the weight dis placed by these 400 ships would take a train of boxcars stretching in a solid line from New York to within 50 miles of Chicago. "The landing at Inchon was a sample of what can be done with these ships," which can transport more than 100,000 men supported by planes and gunfire' he said. "During the two weeks following the (west coast tlnchon landings, we unloaded a ton of food, am munition and equipment for every man we put asnore and an aver age of one vehicle for every four men," the admiral explained. He concluded that the planning job was figured down to the ia.si decimal and "It's that kind of plan ning plus home-front production and most important plus the will of free people to remain free that is speeding the day of victory in Korea. So long as we ha those ingredients we'll never have a slave world," Three Special Deer Hunts In Oregon Offered PORTLAND (JP) The State Game commission decided Friday to hold three special deer hunts. They will be in the Silverton hills country east of Silverton, in the Burnt river district south of Baker, and in the White river country in northern Wasco county. A special hunt, proposed for Lake county, was not approved after a hearing. The seasons for the Silverton hills and Burnt river districts will be Nov. 3 t.lrough Nov. S. Applications for permits may be made by letter ofpost card before 10 am, Oct. 27. The drawing will be made the same day.

N. political committee today unanimously approved a resolu tion calling for big power peace consultations after rebuffing two attempts by Andrei Y. Vishinsky to gain recognition for the Chinese Communist regime. It was a rare show 0 f the unanimity in the U. N. The Soviet foreign minister fought hard to have the commit tee list specifically the name of the Chinese People's Republic among the great powers but the committee twice voted his motion was not acceptable at this time. This leaves the Nationalist Chinese still in their U. N. seat. The resolution recommends that the permanent members of the se - : c . D-;..: 1-uiiijr iuum.il riiNit, China. United States and the So viet Union meet and discuss all problems likely to threaten inter national peace. Vishinsky urged the committee against an "ostrich" policy but on the final count he voted yes. The committee, however, refused to accept his demand for the munists. The first vole was 26 against. 13 in favor and 16 abstain-!"? ing. The second vote was 35 against, 12 in favor and 11 abstain ing. The committee actually did not express itself on the question of recognizing the Chinese Commu nists. It only decided that Vishin sky could not wedge the issue into a resolution by Iraq and Syria call ing for the big five to consult on their disagreements. At the outset, Vishinsky de manded that the committee steer clear of an "ostrich policy" and recognise the . Communist re gime ai the government of China. Nationalist China answered that the question was not acceptable at the present stage of the debate and the committee upheld that view.

Stimson, the first American to hold cabinet of fice under four presidenta, died yesterday of a audden heart at tack. He was 83 years old. Stimson was secretary of war under Presidents William Howard Taft, Franklin O. Roosevelt and Harry Truman, and was Herbert Hoover's only secretary of alate. Three months ago Stimson fell and broke his hip, but was making a good recovery and getting about with wheelchair and crutches. Yes terday afternoon he and Mrs. Stim son set out on a drive around the estate. He was stricken in the car waa taken home immediately, and died a few minutes later. Stimson was the first leading statesman in any western country to demand a tough crackdown oa the aggressors of the 1930s. His policy failed at the time, but aa America's secretary of war from Pearl Harbor to Hiroshima, he directed the army and air force that helped redeem it. While Stimson's four years as secretary of state, 1929 to 1933, were distinguished, military men and historians have ranked him with Lincoln's Edwin M. Stanton as one of the two greatest secretar ies of war in American history. His association with the war de- nartment was union P"mrnl w" unique, Phone System's Extension In 1951 To Cost $141,000 More new telephone construction work in the Roseburg area, in ad- j dition to projects previously a n nounced and al eady under way, it programme" for early next year, according tn R. J. Henwood, man ager tor the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph company. Scheduled to start In January is a line extension job to serve the Lookingglass district west of Rose burg. It involves erecting better than three miles of poles, placing ten miles of lead-covered aerial cable, and stringing several miles of open wire. Cost of this project, which will serve an estimated 92 telephones initially, is said to be in the neighborhood of $52,000. Also set to begin in January is the work of providing additional facil '" to serve the Winchester-Wil- 1 bur area. Present cables are to be i ' 'ui i .. .ukuw-j to Winchester, and new open-wire leads are to be constructed into new subdivisions along the way, Henwood aaid. According to t h e company's forecast, some 4O0 more telephones will be connected under the project, whirh is expected to cost roughly $43,000. Buckhorn Read Included Another project, scheduled to get underway in March, will serve a number o' small farms, two saw mills and several logging operations in a seven-mile strip along Buck horn Road east of Roseburg. This job includes extending three miles of cable east of Dixonville, con structing better than eleven miles of pole line for joint power and tel ephone use, and placing aerial wire circuits alon'? Strader road and Buckhorn road. Henwood said this project, to serve some 50 tele phones initially, will cost about $32,000. In May, a $14,000 job will be started in the Sunshine road area to bring telephone service to sev eral large stock ranches and sum mer homes in an eight-mile stretch between the North Umpqua high- way and the Norm umpqua river, All of these line extension and construction projects are expected to be completed by next August, Henwood said.

Airborne Force Traps 30,000 Red Koreans Surprise Maneuver Leaves Communists Unable To Mass Forces (By thm AMoclsue Frawj Parachute troops, dropped Fri day in the Sunehon-Sukchon area, linked forcea today wiU United States First cavalrymen over the 30-mile stretch between fallen Pyongyang. North Korean capital, and Sunchon. Gen. MacArthur'i headquarters said the fast-moving paratroopers had aealed off 28.000 Communist Koreana after cascading behind the enemy linea. The trapped Reds were nearly half of the estimated organised Communist fighting force left north of the 38th parallel. All arteries of escape were blocked for the North Korean Reds in the Sunehon-Sukchon area, where the 4.200 U. S. airborne troops dropped out of the sky. Surprise Maneuver The surprise maneuver left an estimated 63,000 Communist troops in North Korean unable to mass for ' any effective stand against on rushing United Nations forces. A Mac Arthur spokesman said there waa no aign of 'any organ ized defense line north of the pres ent battle tone nor of any tem porary capital for the all but de feated1 Red regime. Resistance in Pyongyang was pe tering out as American tanks crossed tha Taedong and entered the fallen city. Gen. MacArth 'ir said he was eon. fident that the end of the fighting and s victory for the U. N. forces are near at hand. Five South Ko rean divisions were preparing to rush to the Manchurian border to cut off escape routes for the shattered remaining Red forces, who were surrendering in droves. Seals Reds Fete The airdrop, whirh sealed the fate of the Korean Reda was the first in the Korean conflict and one of the largest in the history of paratroopint. All reports, except from the Chinnampo area, west of Pyong yang, indicated there was very lit tle fight left in the Reds, though a fe scattered bands of guerrillas were harassing the U. N. troops ui muiaieu mil puftiuuns. mere was no indication Gen. MacArthur planned to send foreign U. N. troops to the Manchurian bor der where an incident might in volve Russian or Chinese Commu nist troops. South Korean soldiers, "pushing northward along the east coast, were 85 milna aouth of the Man churian border and atill going. Communist atrocities spurred U. N. forces in their efforts to rescue thousands of U. N. prison ers seized during the four months of war. They were aeekina narti- cularly the remnants of a band of 283 Americana who were forced into a death march from Seoul sa Pyongyang. The air force continued its 24 hour schedule but there were few targets left north of the 38th paral lel. Gen. Macarlhur, in a report to the army department in Washing ton, put the cost of the Korean ci vilian relief at $146,500,000 up t 0 June 30, 1951. The Army depart ment has taken over from the Eco nomic Cooperation administration (FCA) the task of succoring South Korea's war-torn population.
