He said the tiny Islet with the
caves lies a Quarter-mile off the

"Conditions in the cave sug

A local grain farmer, charging
major crop loss because "rain had
been shot from the sky to prevent

were robbing the area of Its na

pilots to break up cloud forma'

river valley to prevent hail storms
which has caused serious damage
in years past
Ciaycomb estimated Lis damage
at $4000 and said 500 others de
pendent on rainfall for their crops
had suffered similar damage.
His petitions called upon farm
ers, stockmen, dairymen and lum
bermen to estimate their losses
and contribute funds on a com
parative basis. The best attorneys
available would be hired, he said.

area this year only 2.85 inches

During the flight SCAP passed

Naktong river, near Taegu. Lt
Cot Anthony Story of St Louis,
MacArthur's pilot explained that
"the old man wanted to take
look."
Whitney said the general re
turned to Japan to tackle problems
of SCAP and the Far East com
mand, as well as to direct the
southern offensive in Korea.
His key officers expressed the
opinion tonight that the allies have
the initiative and hold-a firm
position in the Seoul area.
. Whether MacArthur will return
to Korea was not clear. It has
been assumed that he would want
to enter Seoul when the city falls.
Lt Gen. Lemuel C Shepherd,
commander of fleet marine forces.
Pacific, predicted that it would be
at least a week before Seoul is
secure enough for a victory par
ade.
"They (the North Koreans)
could have made it tough for us.
said Shepherd, "but we're on the
north bank of the river (Han)
now, and we're going to stay
there."
Shepherd also returned on Mac-
Arthurs plane, and probably will
leave Friday for Honolulu.
He did not name 'the Durchaser or
