position four hours later against
no opposition and found 12 Com
munist dead.
ALLIED TROOPS spotted about
200 Reds in the Mundung valley,
but the Communists did not at
tack. In the same area Tuesday
U.N. soldiers killed 96 Reds and
wounded 130.
U. S. Fifth Air Force warplanes
cut CSmmunist rail lines in 35
places:Wednesday morning. Pilots
also reported destruction of two
locomotives and one Red anti
aircraft position.
Nine B-29 Superforts bombed
the Sunchon south bypass rail
bridge-Tuesday night. Three other
B-28s it the rail yards at Sam
dong and one raided the Kyomlpo
steel mill.
ALLIED FIGHTERS and bomb
ers attacked 100 Red trucks Tues
day night and destroyed 19. Pilots
also reported a string of 16 box
cars destroyed in Northwest Ko
rea. U.N. warships pounded road
and rail networks off the East
Coast.
At Hungnam, the destroyer USS
Halsey Powell worked over rail
yards, rail and highway junc
tions and a nitrogen plant with
five-Inch shells.
The destroyer USS Twining
fired night and day at targets
around Wonsan.
Rail Signals
Asked by ICC
WASHINGTON (U.R) The In
terstate Commerce Commission
recommended Wednesday that the
Union Pacific Railroad equip
more locomotives with cab signals
to avoid accidents like the Wyuta,
Wyo., crash last November.
Seventeen persons were killed
and 159 injured on. Nov. 12 when
the streamlined passenger train,
City of San Francisco, ran into the
City of Los Angeles during a
snowstorm.
The commission said In its ac
cident report that the roadway
signals were covered by snow and
ice and could not be read by train
personnel. Under these conditions
a train Is supposed to stop and
then proceed very slowly. But the
City of San Francisco, the report
said, crashed into the other train
at 77 miles an hour.
Union Pacific has a signal sys
tem on a large part of its route
through Utah and Wyoming which
registers the roadway signals in
side the cab. The commission said
if this system had been in use
along the track at Wyuta, the ac
cident probably would have been
averted.
"Weather conditions similar to
those which prevailed on the day
of the accident are not unusual
along the line of this carrier in
this vicinity," the report said.
