Chinese Reds Seize
Four ROK Guards
Seoul, Korea (U.R) The Ko
rean government said today a
fleet of Chinese Communist ves
sels battled a Korean patrol boat
in a deliberate "act of war"
Christmas morning and captured
four coast guardsmen.
The government called on the
United States and other allies
to "join with us in immediate
measures of defense and coun
ter attack" against the Commu
nists who attacked off the South
west Korean coast.
U. S. authorities took a calm
er view of the incident and a
spokesman for the Far East
Command said in Tokyo no new
orders had been issued to the
U.N. or ROK navies.
Korean officials said the 5V
hour battle occurred 40 miles
off the coast when a Coast Guard
cutter sighted 14 Chinese Com
munist boats fishing inside the
60-mile-wide "Rhee Line."

Kaye has discovered why his
house gets cold when friends
drop in. Kaye rang his own door
bell and the furnace shut off.
He rang it again and the furn

was causing the doorbell to act
as a thermostat.

New Ten! Design ;
Makes 'Roughing'
More Luxurious
Chicago (U.R) There may be
something new on the shores
of Gitchie Gumie.
New tents that make "rough
ing it" more luxurious, yet
bring more of the outdoors in
doors, have been developed at
the Illinois Institute of Tech
nology. Students at IIT have been
working on the tent design proj
ect with an eye toward provid
ing more openness than in tra
ditional camp shelters, a reduc
tion of 10 degrees in the inside
temperature, greater flexibility
in selection of camp sites. An
other goal was to choose, ma
terials that are easy to take
care of.
Charles Forberg, assistant pro
fessor at IIT and head of the
project, said the structures will
be used for experiment by the
Chicago YMCA, and if they
prove successful, tne organiza
tion plans to use them exclusive'
ly on some of its property.
One of the new demountable
shelters for year-round use has
a iiDergiass SKyiignt that per
mits sunlight to enter the cabin
but deflects much of the heat
of the sun. It also allows for
continuous ventilation through
folding plywood vents at the
lower edge of the roof and
through vents at the ridge point.
The cabin can be constructed
on a concrete slab with inside
floor space of 16 by 20 feet, and
it provides sleeping quarters for
eigftt campers and a councillor.
Height of the structure is 13 Vz
feet at the ridge point.
Special double - deck bunks
were developed to fit into the
slope on one side of the tent.
leaving the other side open for.
cabin activities. Space created
between the beds by the slope
will be used for storage units.
The fiberglass roof panel, to
gether with the five other roof
panels of corrugated aluminum,
can be assembled on the ground
and then tilted into position to
speed up construction.
Three plywood doors, painted
brilliant blue and white, open
out at either end of the shelter
io mane xne outdoors seem
closer, and glass fiber screening
protects campers from insects.
Forberg said another type of
demountable shelter, planned
for summer use only, has a top
of specially coated nylon with
a surface of aluminum, pigment.
He explained it is only half the
weight of usual tent material,
has a greater resistance to rot
and abrasion than canvas, and
reflects, more of the heat of the
sun.
