Gunpowder Fumes
Worry Korean Reds
</Pi A U.S. Chemical Warfare
officer said' Thursday that North
Korean troops who reported that
they were gassed on Sniper Ridg'e
actually had smelled fumes from
old gunpowder.
Lt. Col. Harrison A. Markham,
chemical officer of the U.S.
Ninth Corps, said the reported
gas sounded to him like picric
arid. He said that is produced by
the explosion of old gunpowder.
The Chinese Communists accused
the South Korean troops of using
poison gas shortly after they lost"
strategic Pin-point peak. Both
armies are locked in furious hand
to-hand battle now for the sumit.
Sun glasses are known to be
about 700 years old but historians
are not certain of their birthplace.
The idea originated either in Eu
rope or the Far East.
Racial Question
Poses New Threat
</Pi The racial question in South
Africa posed a new threat Thurs
day when the South African Ap
peal court declared Prime Minister
Daniel Malan'.s high court of par
liament was illegal.
The court was set up as part
of his move to put over white
supremacy policies. Politicians
expressed belief that there may
bo a chance that Malan will try
to pack the South African sen
ate in efforts bo retain the race
laws being challenged.
Meanwhile the South African
conflict brought' derftant!s for ac
tion at the Unitxtrl Nations. Eigh
teen countries called for a U.N.
commission to look into the situ
ation.
The comparative density of rail
road trafic in England and Amer
ica is indicated by the fact that a
locomotive is employed for every
two and a half miles of track on
British railways and for every five
miles in tlie United States.
