victory in the presidential elec

Mrs. Roy F. Priest of Utah, as
sistant national GOP chairman
and head of the party’s women’s
division, and 14 other feminine
party leaders scheduled a round
of conferences and a luncheon
with the Republican nominee in
Denver.
The general also planned meet
ings with a group from Louisiana
and was set to make a recording
which will be played to overseas
troops just before they cast ab
sentee ballots.
Democratic Candidate Steven
son, who will make a similar re
cording for overseas use, was tak
ing it easy, enjoying a brief vaca
tion at Minocqua, Wis.

B-29s Drop 140 Tons
Of Bombs On Korean
Hand Grenade Arsenal
SEOUL, (/P) — Fourteen Japan
based U. S. Superforts Monday
night bombed a huge Communist
grenade factory employing 2,000
workers in northwest Korea. The
factory was only 3 miles south of
the Manchurian border.
Far East headquarters in Tokyo
said the sprawling works was one
of the 78 military targets the U.N.
Command has given advance not
ice it will attack.
It was the first time the plant,
at Nakwon, half way between
Sinuiju and Namsidong, had b£en
hit.
Results of the raid were not
announced. The planes dropped
140 tons of bombs.
But the B-29 pilots, skirting the
edge of the erratic typhoon sweep
ing across the southern end of
the Korean peninsula, reported
they met intense anti - aircraft
fire. One plane was attacked by a
Red night fighter but the Air
Force said all 14 planes returned
safely.
The Air Force said the muni
tions layout contained 17 primary
buildings of steel and reinforced
concrete and dozens of bunkers
and ammunition stores catacomb
ed in nearby hills. The plant re
portedly produced daily 1,000
antitank grenades and 3,000 to
5,000 hand grenades.

Mountain Climber Ends
1,000-Mile Boat Voyage
From Juneau To Seattle
SEATTLE, <A*)—Dave Hurrah,
last member of the King Peak -
Yukon expedition to return, is
back in Seattle after completing
a solo voyage from Juneau in a
16-foot motorboat.
Harrah was compelled to leave
the mountain climbing expedition
when his feet gave him trouble.
In 1950 his feet were frozen on
his record-breaking ascent of Mt.
Yerupaja in Peru, and all his
toes had to be amputated.
Harrah left Juneau on July 16
in the small boot, which is
equipped with a 25 - horsepower
inboard engine. He arrived in Se
attle last Saturday, just a month
later.
He traveled only during day
time. While the steamer route is
870 miles, Harrah’s voyage wus
approximately 1,000 miles, due to
the fact ‘that he followed the
shoreline more closely.
“The roughest weather I en
countered was in Puget Sound,”
Hurrah said.

New Low Air Accident
Rate Announced by USAF
WASHINGTON. (>P) — The Air
Force reported yesterday a new
low major accident rate of 29 for
every 100,000 hours flown during
the first six months of 1952.
This rate was a nine percent
decline from the preceding six
month period, the Air Force rec
ords revealed. It continued a gen
eral downtrend in major accident
rates since the postwar high of
61 in 1946.
The Air Force said jet fighters
made the greatest improvement
in major accident rates, with 79
during the first half of 1952, com
pared with 97 in the last half of
1951 and 101 during the January -
June period last year.
Bomber accident rates also
dropped from 23 in the first six
months of 1951 to 19 in the last
half of the last year and 18 per
100,000 flying hours in the first
half of this year.
Investigation Starts On
Accidental Firing On
U.S. Tug By Minesweeper
Tokyo, (/P)—A U.S. Navy mine
sweeper and salvage tug arrived
in Japan Monday night for a for
mal investigation of an incident
off Korea in which the mine
sweeper fired twice on the tug,
killing two and injuring nine.
A Navy officer said the acci
dental shooting resulted from fail
ure to exchange recognition sig
nals between the minesweeper
Chief (AM315) and the Grapple
(ARS6).
In Washington, the Navy said
a Navy board will investigate to
fix responsibility and to deter
mine measures to prevent a pos
sible recurrence.
The Navy said two three-inch
shells from the Chief hit the
Grapple Friday night when the
vessels were searching for small
Communist ships off Hungnam on
Korea’s northeast coast.
