Greeks Attack Bulgarians
On Border Island
ATHENS, Greece, (JP) — Greek
troops opened fire Thursday mor
ning on Bulgarian soldiers on the
Greek - claimed border island of
Gamma, in the Evros River, the
Greek general staff announced.
A communique said the Greek
fire — from machine guns and
mortars—was not returned by the
troops from Greece’s Soviet satel
lite northern neighbor.
The attack came after Bulgar
ian troops had been noticed on
the island Wednesday night, the
announcement said. Earlier the
general staff had issued a com
munique saying no Bulgars had
been seen on the island after ex
piration of an earlier Greek ul
timatum demanding that all Bul
garian troops quit Gamma by 8
a.m. Wednesday. '
Thursday's army announcement
said the United Nations Peace
sub-committee was present when j
the Greeks attacked and that just |
prior to opening fire, the Greeks
warned the Bulgars by a loud
speaker.
President Syngman Rhee
Of Korea Re-Elected By
Overwhelming Majority
PUSAN, i/P) — Aging President
Syngman Rhee was swept back
into* office by an overwhelming j
majority in nearly complete un
official returns from the Repub
lic of Korea's first direct election
of chief executives.
Rhee’s choice for vice presi
dent — Ham Tai Yung, a little
known Presbyterian minister —
piled up a commanding lead over
eight opponents.
The 77-year-old Rhee puttered
in the garden of his palatial presi
dential residence in Seoul as the
vote count, gathered over police
communication channels, assured
his return to office for four years.

WASHINGTON, OP)—Planning
to buy your wife an Arctic Seal
coat, or a Mendoza Beaver? or a
Galland Squirrel?
Better grab your checkbook and
start running, then, for after mid
night (tonight these fancy names
will pass into history and all three
furs must be sold under their
right name: Rabbit.
And another ad writer’s pipe
dream—“River Sable” for Musk
rat, for example, and “Geriet” for
plain Pussy-Cat—likewise will be
outlawed when the new fur-label
ing act, signed by President Tru
man a year ago, finally goes into
effect.
This law says all fur coats and
other fur garments must be ad
vertised and sold under “the true
English name of the animal from
which the fur was taken.”
And the Federal Trace Commis
sion, which will do most of the
enforcing of the law, has prepared
a list ox 100 or so “true English
names”—from Alpaca to Zebra—
which will let the customer know
just what he or she is buying.
Congress hras made it tough on
any dealer who refuses to call a
skunk a skunk, too. The penalties
for violators run up to $5,000
fine or a year in jail or both.
Many furriers fought the law
tooch-and-nail at first but most
now seem convinced it’s a good
idea. One leader in the industry
calls it a blessing in disguise:
“In past years many a sale was
lost because of customer confu
sion. The same shopper might see
the same fur under sevei'al dif
ferent names. It was something
she couldn’t undei'stand, and what
a woman doesn’t understand, she
doesn’t like.”

Board Report Denies
Collusion In Construction
Of Palmer Airport
ANCHORAGE, (/P) —A report
denying collusion to bilk the fed
eral government in connection
with the construction of an air
port at Palmer, Alaska, has been
filed in Washington, D.C., by the
Commerce Department, the An
chorage Times reported Thursday.
The report also said the Fed
eral Bureau of Investigation made
a similar finding in connection
with the Palmer project.
The Times said Jack G. Scott,
acting Secretary of Commerce,
sent the report to the comptroller
general because of the latter’s
action in refusing approval for
use of federal funds at Palmer on
grounds there had been collusion.
Scott’s report said an investiga
tion by the Commerce Department
brought the conclusion that “no
evidence has been found which
will support a charge of collu
sion.” Thq latter added that of
ficial records do not support a
congressional committee which
held that collusion had taken
place.
The letter also said the FBI
worked on the same case, and
Scott said the FBI supported the
opinion of the special board.
