South Koreans Beat Off
Red Amphibious Attack
SEOUL, Korea, (jP) — South
Korean marines beat off a Com
munist amphibious invasion of an
Allied-held island off the north
east coast of Korea in a 33-hour
battle, the Allies announced to
day.
The Korean army said its ma
rines sank 13 of the 20 invasion
boats.
Seventy invaders were reported
killed and six captured. Prisoners
included the commander of the
amphibious attack.
The assault was directed
against Yang island, about 16 air
miles from the Communist east
coast port of Songjin. The island
presumably is one that Allies
would give back to the Commun
ists if an armistice is signed.
Planes from the U.S. Carrier
Essex swept into the Songjin
area Thursday smashing every
Red boat in sight.

OAKVILLE, (jP)—Carmen Ezzo,
who has been building a house
here single-handed for the past
two years during his spare time
from a factory job, has one ad
vantage over other carpenters.
Ezzo can and frequently does,
work long after dark.
The absence of light makes no
difference to him. He has been
blind since 1946.

Steel Strike Averted
Until March 23
rlTTSriuKGH, (jT>) — The na
tion will escape a steel strike
Saturday but a walkout may come
March 23 unless a bitter contract
controversy is settled.
Top strategy markers of the
million member CIO United Steel
workers did as expected Thursday
in postponing their strike. They
issued this warning:
“We hope that a strike may be
averted but the patience of our
members is running out.”
The union decided to cancel
its week-end strike threat in order
to give the Wage Stablization
Board more time to recommend
a settlement
MORE WOMEN VOTERS
WESTPORT, Conn., {#*)— De
termining how many women vote
in any given election usually
means a painstaking examination
of the check-off list, but it’s easy
i as pie here and has been for 30
I years.
Westport’s lone polling place
has six voting machines. Three
are for “men only” and three
for “women only”.
Which machines record the
greater number of votes? The wo
men’s, by about 10 percent, says
Registrar Joseph McGill.
During 1952 a total of 10,350,000
proof gallons of Scotch whisky
will be exported overseas, accord

George Washington, the boy

in o* the Ohio valley from the
north. He was made a Virginia
colonel, and dispatched as a con
crete evidence that the colonists
had a vision for westward ex
pansion. Washington lost that en
gagement, but he lived to lead
an aroused seaboard to a united
defense that taught them the pos
sibilities for the future.
Washington loved England—his
ancestors had been the Crown’s
most loyal supporters, but when
the short - sighted policies of
George III and his ministers
sought to make the Americas a
British dependency, Washington,
the only man all the colonies
would trust, led them, at great
personal sacrifice, in a defense of
their rights.
Only at the close of his mag
nificent life was America’s first
man, who refused to be called
more than Mr. President, able to
live for any length of time at his
own beloved home, Mt. Vernon.
In these closing days, he personal
ly supervised the grounds of what
was to become one of America’s
most loved shrines.
Washington’s last thought was
