Use Son's Right
Name,Mom Asks
SEATTLE (APt — A mother
called a city desk Sunday to ask
that in writing up the shooting
of two MIGs in the Far East,
would the newspaper be sure to
use “my boy's right name.’’
Thus, in an unexpected call.
Mrs. Charles Brehm disclosed
that it was her son. Airman l.C.
Noel H. Carrigan. who was the
Far East Air Force tail gunner
credited with first sighting and
then returning fire and damaging
a Russ-built MIG 15 over the Yel
low Sea Saturday.
“He went by my name, Brehm.
in school here, and I'd like his
friends to know it was him.”
Mrs. Brehm continued. “And it's
Carrigan. not Corrigarr.”
The Far Eastern incident, in'
which two MIGs were shot down
by T7.S. Sabrejet pilots over in
ternational waters off North Ko- j
rea. made Mrs. Brehm reminisce
about her son.
“He had always wanted to be a
gunner since he was a little fel
low." she said. “The idea cap
tured him while he was a little
shaver during World War II. He
finally made it.”
coastal islands. The Peiping pact,
in addition to economic and po
litical agreements, contained a
denunciation of America's sup
port of Chiang Kai-Shek on For
mosa.
Referring to the Peiping agree
ment, Voroshilov said: “With
new force they confirmed the
complete units of views of the
governments of the USSR and
the Chinese Peoples Republic,
both in the sphere of multilateral
cooperation between the two
states and in questions on the
international situation.”
Voroshilov said the “inviolable
brotherly friendships, becoming
stronger every year, and coop
eration between the Soviet Union
and the Chinese Peoples Repub
lic were a powerful force assist
ing in the economic progress of
both countries and forming a
mighty bulwark of peace in the
Far East and all over the world."
Lien's words were similar. He
said that the Peiping pact “dem
onstrated to a still higher de
gree the monolithic unity of the
people of China and the Soviet
Union, numbering 800 million.
“These documents became not
only the embodiment of the sup
port and attention of the Soviet
people toward the Chines*' peo
ple. permeated with the noble
spirit of internationalism, but
are also of great significance for
the building of socialism in China
and for defense of peace in the
Far East and all over the world."
Man to Attempt
Blindfold Stunt
TACOMA, (API If a blind
folded driver can negotiate High
way 99 without an accident, then
why can't a driver do it with his
eyes wide open ?
That's the question Chief James
Pryde is asking as the State Pa
trol prepared for a 30-mile drive
of John Jay of Tacoma who Wed
nesday will attempt to drive from
here to Olympia with a black
cloth bandaged over his eyes. The
youthful magician has a record of
five miles of faultless driving
with his eyes covered, after Chief
of Police Hoy Kerr supervised the
blindfolding.
“In the past I’ve limited my
self to little trips around town
during the Chnstmas rush,” says
Jay. “Nothing very difficult."
Jay will leave Tacoma at 10
a.m. Wednesday, under the spon
sorship of the Young Men's Busi
ness club. A patrol motorcycle
will escort him and a motorcade
of safety experts and club mem
bers will follow.
Mrs. Jay. riding in a car behind
her husband, will honk a warn
ing to him if real danger is near.
“Blind people walk down the
streets every day, carefully avoid
ing obstacles, waiting for stop
lights," Jay remarked. "I just do
it in a car that’s all.”
Jay’s 22-month-old daughter
will accompany him.
If successful in getting to
Olympia. Jay will drive to the
capitol building where he will be
presented a safety award by
Pryde or Gov. Langhe.
AFL Seeks German
Labor Union Support
MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (APj —
The AFL Monday appealed to
Germany’s influential labor un
ions to switch their opposition to
support for pi oposed German re
armament.
The appeal, voted unanimously
by the AFL. executive council,
was directed at all of Western
Europe’s 20-million member free
trade unions, and to Germany’s
in particular, asking their help in
welding military strength as a
bulwark against Russia.
Britain Requests Full
Evacuation of Troops
LONDON. (AP) — Responsible
informants report that Britain i
urged the United States Monday1
night to evacuate Chiang Kai
Shek’s Nationalist forces from
all China coastal islands—Matsu
and Quemoy included—as a first
step toward an unwritten cease
fire.
Angry Laborites in the House
of Commons pressed Foreign
Secretary Anthony Eden to pub
licly call for immediate evacua
tion. Eden would only repeat that
delicate negotiations are under
way and Britain feels that Red
China has legal right to the off
shore isles.
Even while Eden sidestepped i
Laborite questions, informants
said Britain already was urging
full evacuation of the National
ists in diplomatic exchanges with
the United States.
Prime Minister Churchill's gov
ernment was pictured as feeling
that the explosive Formosa situ
ation could be eased only by put
ting 75 miles or more of sea
water between the Chinese Reds
and Chiangs main bastions on
Formosa and the Pescadores.
Advantages Reported
British Ambassador Sir Roger
Makins was reported to have told
the United States that prompt
Nationalist evacuation of Que
moy and the Matsu chain would
briug these advantages.
1. Chiang's troops would be re
moved from exposed and unten
able positions. Their withdrawal
to Formosa and the Pescadores
would eliminate the danger of the
U.S. 7th Fleet becoming involved
in clashes with Red China forces.
2. Chiang and his U.S. protec
tors would be put in a stronger
legal position in the eyes of world
opinion.
Ministers Want Ceasefire
The informants said Churchill.
India’s Prime Minister Nehru and
other commonwealth prime min
isters meeting here are concen
trating their efforts now on an
early unwritten ceasefire.
Replying to Laborite demands
for government action to head
off the danger of a Far East war,
Eden replied: “We did, in an ef
fort to bring about a cessation of
the fighting, invite the Chinese
communist government in the
most conciliatory terms that
could be worded, to a meeting of
the UN Security Council.
New Means Now Needed
“I deplore the fact that this in
vitation was flatly turned down.
It will now be the task of govern
ments to try to wor k out other
means and methods to bring
about a cease-fire in this area.
“It is only when cease-fire con
ditions have been established that
we can hope to proceed to other
methods of pacification.”
The AFL, which has maintained
close ties with German labor un
ions. said it could understand "the
strong opposition to a revival of
militarism now being manifested
in Germany,” but added that only
military strength would deter So
viet aggression.
“Readiness and capacity to de
fend one's own country and to co
operate with other peoples in the
preservation of peace and free
dom." the AFL said, “must never
be confused with aggressionist
militarism."
AFL President George Meany
said that having been involved in
two disastrous and losing wars
should not deter Germany from
taking on its international re
sponsibilities to help defend the
free world against any new Red
territorial garb.
Meanwhile, CIO leaders began
arriving at this winter resort for
talks with AFL leaders Tuesday
and Wednesday on the proposed
AFL-CIO merger.
Meany indicated that the talks
may settle once and for all
whether there is to be a merger.
The general atmosphere among
the union leaders was that a
great many problems lemain to
be solved.
The CIO demands for concrete
assurances that under a merger
the CIO unions would be protect
ed against raids on their member
ship from AFL unions appeared
to be the major problem. The
AFL apparently was not pre
pared to make any such guaran
tee.

Lack of Military

WASHINGTON <APi Secre

ability of the armed services to
keep more trained, capable men

“We have been Impressed for

Wilson and other top Pentagon
officials appeared before the sub

Adm. Arthur W. Radford,

a corps of highly skilled young
officers as long as the present
"uneasy tensions" In the world
exist, which could be 10 years
or it could be 50, Radford said,
adding:
“Since we would never be the
one to initiate war, we have no
alternative but to remain ade

vital interests for an indefinite
