a MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Ortgen, Sunday, Octob.r 3, 1938 Red Duds Suggest Possible Sabotage Big Quemoy -0.TD- The Chinese Communist have been firing an unusuallyh igh percentage of dud shells at Big Quemoy, suggesting possi ble sabotage behind the bam boo curtain, American mili tary advisers said yesterday. Army Col. Douglas Lane, MaysvUle, Okla., chief of the U. S. military advisory de- Communist China In Seventh Yeek Of Bombardment Taipei, Formosa -(CPD-Com-munist China began its sev enth straight week of bom barding the Quemoy islands yesterday and claimed the capture of two Nationalist pi lots said to have been shot down into the sea. The bombardment was light, somewhat over 1,000 rounds, but no Nationalist air drops or sea convoys were reported to have attempted to break the shell- blockade. The Communist New China News agency, in a broadcast monitored in Tokyo, said the two pilots, identified as Capt. Hua Wu-Lin and Capt. Liu Cheng-Li, were the only sur vivors of a Nationalist trans port plane shot down over Quemoy last Monday. It said the body of a third man, SFC, Hsier Jung Hua, also was recovered. The agency did not say when or how the two surviv ors fell into Communist hands but it said they were "suffer ing from long exposure in the sea" and had been hospit alized. The Nationalist Defense Ministry has admitted losing four transport planes in the past week in attempts to sup ply the Quemoy islands. One crashed on take off from For mosa Friday, two were shot down by Migs and a seaplane missing three days was pre sumed to have crashed in the Formosa Strait. Pope Appears Despite Hiccups Castel Gandolfo, Italy-tUPD-Pope Pius XII, visibly suffer ing from hiccups, cut short a long technical address to a t visiting group of plastic sur geons at his summer residence yesterday. The 82-year-old Pontiff, who has been "slightly indis posed" since last Monday, still appeared paler than usual al though he insisted on going through with the audience. Instead of reading a three part technical discourse to the surgeons, the Pontiff omitted the first two sections and spoke only about the moral aspects of the profession. Several times his slight frame shook with hiccups. This was the same afflic tion which plagued the Pope during his near fatal illness in 1954. It returned in a much milder form last Monday. BARDOT IN MANHATTAN? New York -flJPD A New York night club offered French movie actress Brigitte Bardot a 10 per cent owner ship if she would appear there every night for a month.

ASK FOR DETAILS AT TROWBRIDGE fir FLYNN ELECTRIC CO. 214 West Main tachment on the beleaguered island, said duds and misfires have accounted for the rela tively low percentage of Chinese Nationalist casualties in the saturation shelling. Lane said he believed that the Russians either have sup plied the Chinese Communists old ammunition with faulty fuses or else there has been sabotage in Russia or China. "There are bound to be some duds in every concen tration of artillery fiered," Lane said. "But the percen tage of misfires, short rounds and duds counted on Quemoy runs four to five times ,the average expectable. "This is attributable to only two things. Either the Russians are supplying the Chicoms (Army slang for the Chinese Communists) with old, outdated ammunition or somewhere along the line, the ammunition is being tamper ed with to cause the misfire. Maj. Han Ken Lee, a Kor ean-American from Niles, Mich., said most of the dud shells found on Quemoy were made in Russia. Lee said there were "doz ens of places" from factory to gun where shells easily could be sabotaged.
