Snow and Wind
Bog Action On
Korean Front
SEOUL, Korea, (/P) — Fresh
snow and a lashing wind bogged
action on the Korean war front
Wednesday. Heavy overcast held
air action to a minimum.
The U.S. Fifth Air Force said
its planes flew only seven recon
naissance missions in the 24 hours
ended at 6 p.m. Wednesday.
Ground fighting, relatively
light for a month, may flare in
renewed fury after Thursday.
A 30-day provisional cease-fire
line—the present front—is due to
expire then unless truce negotia- !
tors at Panmunjom come to terms
of an armistice. There is little
liklihood they will do that.
Battlefront changes made after j
the Dec. 27 deadline must be;
taken into consideration in any
newly proposed cease - fire line.
Thus, troops will be fighting for
keeps after Thursday.
Only one sharp brief action
marked Christmas Day along the
145-mile shooting line.
In that fight, a Chinese bat
Earthquake Interrupts
Christmas Day In
Southern California
LOS ANGELES, (tP) — The
serenity and calm of Christmas in
Southern California was rent by
a late afternoon earthquake that
was felt in six counties but caused
no damage.
Epicenter of the temblor was in
Pacific Ocean, south of San Cle
mente Island. Ocean depths there
range up to 6,600 feet. Dr. Charles
Richter, California Institute of
Technology seismologist, said the
quake, which lasted between 20
and 30 seconds, was sufficiently
strong to cause considerable dam
age if it had originated in a
populous area.
Dr. Richter placed the magni
ture of the quake between 5l/z
and 6 on a scale of maximum 12.
The Long Beach quake of 1933
was 6V4 and claimed 118 lives.
talion crashed against an Allied
advance position on the eastern
front as darkness fell. The United
Nations troops, standing on snow
covered ground, stood fast against
the assault.
Turkey Burns Up But
They Saved Their Dough
LONG BEACH, Calif., (/P) —
While D. Cameron Paschall and
his wife were visiting relatives
Tuesday the electric roaster cook
ing their turkey became over
heated and set their house afire.
A neighbor called the Paschalls
and told them the bad news. Pas
chall rushed into the burning
home and emerged triumphant,
not with the turkey, but with a
paper bag. It contained $5,000 in
cash Paschall had secreted in his
home. The turkey was reduced to
charcoal.
The Paschalls ate out, which
cut an insignificant dent in the
$5,000. Damage to the house was
confined to the kitchen.

polio since he was 16 months old.
At first, in Tampa, no one thought
he could win. Doctors at Emory
University Hospital in Atlanta
had to operate to strengthen his
left leg. Ncfw Larry can play in
the snow in Germany, where his
father is stationed with the Air

surgeons say, will help Larry’s
curvature of the spine and weak
hip. March of Dimes funds are
seeing Larry and others through.
