Temporary' Korea Truce Enters
Third Year; No Peace in Sight
United Press Correspondent
Panmunjom, Korea (U.R) It
was supposed to be just a nor
mal armistice when it was
signed.
But this "temporary" Korean
truce enters its third year today.
No peace is in sight. Far from
it there is a growing uneasiness
in the United Nations Command
over the concentrated military
build-up in Communist North
Korea.
The build-up, of course, is in
flagrant violation of the armis
tice. In two years, the Red viola
tions have multiplied.
When the shooting war ended,
the North Koreans had no jet
fighter planes and no military
air fields.
Today the Korean Reds have
a modern air force of 300 Russian-built
MIG jet fighters and
120 bombers. They have at least
15 air bases and more are under
construction.
Latest Russian Equipment
The 600,000-man North Ko
rean army is petting the latest
in Russian equipment, including
new catapult-type guns mounted
on trucks.
The N.N. Command says that

Big Forest Spray
Task Under Way
Washington (U.R) The Forest
Service is carrying out the larg
est aerial spraying job ever un
dertaken. The service is trying to kill
budworms, insect pests which do
serious damage to spruce-fir for
ests growing on 2,250,000 acres
in Oregon, Idaho, Montana and
New Mexico The big spray job
started 10 days ago and another
10 days will be required to cover
the infested areas.
More than 100 planes, each
bearing from 125 gallons to 1000
gallons of insecticides, fly daily
from daybreak to about 10 a.m.
to spray pest poison among the
tree tops. Spraying is done in
the early hours to obtain even
coverage and to take advantage
of good flying weather.
The forests threatened with
the foliage-eating budworms con
tain about 12,300,000,000 board
feet of timber, valued at S38,
000,000 as it stands in the woods.
The timber as milled lumber
would be valued at about $750,-000,000.

Fuel Meier Test
Truck Visits Area
J. E. Kitchen, state weights
and measures inspector, is test
ing fuel meters on wholesale
delivery equipment in the Med
ford area this week.
The fuel meter test truck of
the state department of agricul
ture will be set up at the local
Associated Oil wholesale plant
for testing of about 100 meters.
The testing is done by the
state to insure that neither the
buyer nor the seller has an ad
vantage in transactions involv
ing measures or weights, accord
ing to Kitchen. In some instances
faulty meters on delivery trucks
permit more than the measured
amount of fuel to pass through,
Kitchen said. At other times the
reverse is true. Most faulty
meters are incorrect because
they are worn out.
The test truck does not check
gasoline pumps at service sta
tions, Kitchen added. That type
of checking is done by E. P.
Black, Grants Pass, for the de
partment's division of foods and
dairies and weights and measures.
North Korea now totals more
than 1,200.000 men.
The U.N. Command has lived
up to its word in the armistice
not to strengthen its position. It
has brought no new equipment
into South Korea.
The United States has pulled
out most of its MIG-killing jet
fighter force.
The U.N. ground force has
dwindled from eight United
States divisions to two under
sized divisions. Few combat vet
erans are left.
Of the other allied countries
that sent ground troops to fight
the Reds., all that remains are
a small British Commonwealth
division, 500 Turkish troops and
a company jsach from Greece,
Thailand and Ethiopia.
But the Republic of Korea
South Korea is better able to '
defend itself than it was when j
the Reds struck across the 38th j
parallel of latitude on June 25,
1950.
ROK Arms Old
The equipment of the South
Korean army is old. But South
Korea now has its fourth largest
army in the world with 20 active
divisions of about 14,000 men
each and 10 reserve divisions
which are being built up to
10,000 men each.
In 1950, the South Korean
army numbered 100,000 men.
They had no heavy weapons.
Now South Korea has Amer
ican Patton and Walker bulldog
tanks.
In 1950, it had for its air
force only 10 Canadian war-surplus
trainer, planes and 12 other
light planes! Now it has the first
five F86 sabre-jets of a new jet
air wing.
Plans call for the training of
1000 jet pilots by the end of the
year.
In addition. South Korea has
100 propeller-driven Mustang
fighters and 12 C46 transport
planes.
In 1950, South Korea had no
navy. Today it has four frigates
and 64 other war craft. It soon
will get 27 more vessels, includ
ing two destroyers, in a three-
year build-up program started
this year.

A Niehol's Worth of . . .
Comment On This and That
By HARMAN W. NICHOLS
United Preft Fotur. Writer
if, J V
Washington U.P.) What's
new in Washington:
The transit strike in the na
t i o n's capital
has posed some
knotty prob
lems. Least of
which you
would think of
concerns the
retail gas deal
ers. There are
more cars on
the street than
anybody can
remember. But
Herman Nichols Horace Walk
er, executive director of the
Metropolitan Gas Dealers Asso
ciation, is yelling "murder."
Since the trolley and bus men
walked away, he claims that gas
men are showing a loss between
8,000 and 10,000 gallons a day.
Walker claims that commonly
a man will leave his car with
the lady of the house. She will
bounce around all day, using a
lot of gas. Pop will pick up four
neighbors, drive a few miles and
park. Then he will do a turn
about, drive home and the while
not using much of the things
gas dealers love to sell.
"We lose gas for two and a
half other cars," Walker said,
with considerable logic, "when
the dad of the house drives and
parks."
While President Eisenhower
was out of town with his staff
at the summit in Geneva, Blair
House, the official residence of
wheel visitors from all over, was
not idle. According to Victoria
Geaney, who handles all of the
arrangements, she has as much
company as ever. Meanwhils
Blair workmen are busy with
paint brushes and such fixing
up for what likely will happen.
Our leaders must be like other
travelers. "Next time you get
to Washington, look me up and
be my guest." That's the line.
Mrs. Geaney has had long ex
perience, and she never is left
unprepared.
The rumor that the famed Air
Force aerial square dance team
has been broken up, isn't so.
They will appear around Labor
Day at the Army Aviation Cen
ter at Camp Rucker, Ala. Two
813 Bell helicopters will be
"dressed like men," with pants
flying underneath. Two "lady"
'cops will wear skirts, and be
tween the four they will "dozey
do, with a big foot up and a
little foot down," like they are
billed to do.
Until now I thought it was a
mystery as to which special FBI
agent did in John Dillinger, the
Indiana hood. That was on July
23, 1934. Melvin Purvis headed
the squad which shot down the
gangster after a so-called "lady
in red" put the finger on him.
There were five slugs. Accord
ing to my informant at the FBI.
the man who fired the fatal bul
let was Inspector Samuel P
Cowley, who later was killed at
East Barrington, 111., by gang
ster Baby Face Nelson.

Coast Guardsmen yesterdey
when a 42-foot trolling boat
floundered on the Umpqua river

The boat, owned by Jack Bee
