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?

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.

China Prayers
Charlotte, N.C.-fliPD- Evan
gelist Billy Graham, praising
Generalissimo Chiang Kai
shek, has called for prayers
for the Republic of China.
Graham departed from his
prepared sermon at Friday
night's crusade service here
to say "there is a great debate
going on about the offshore is
lands of China and attempts
are being made to belittle the
leadership of Chiang Kai-shek.
"According to some, Chiang
has two faults. He has the
courage to stand up to the
Communists and he is ' pro
American." . Graham added, "I am not
an expert on politics and I
am not making any political
implications but I do believe
that all of us ought to pray
for Free China in these days
of crisis."

'Rock' Warden
Calls Off Hunt,
Wails For Body
San Francisco -!UPD- Warden
Paul Madigan of Alcatraz has
called off the search for a St.
Louis bandit who disappeared
from the island prison and
yesterday -waited "for the
body to wash ashore."
The painstaking search of
the island failed to turn up
any sign of Aaron Burgett,
who attempted to, escape "The
Rock" Monday with Clyde
Johnson, a Memphis, Tenn.,
bank robber. Johnson was re
captured on the island a short
time later.
Madigan said he was con
vinced Burgett was "no longer
on the island."
"I think he drowned," the
warden said, "and I'm waiting
for the body to be washed
ashore."
Madigan's beliefs were sup
ported by professional muscle
man Jack Lalanne, who has
swum most of the treacherous
water in San Francisco bay.
Friday, Lalanne attempted
to swim the gruelling mile
and a half of swift - running
water from Alcatraz to San
Francisco under conditions
similar to those at the time
of the escape attempt
The strong man was pulled
from the wster after swim
ming three quarters of the dis
tance. He said he had plenty
of energy, but the water was
just too cold and the current
too strong.
"No man could have made
it," Lalanne said.
