Tibet’s Boy Ruler
Still On Throne
NEW DELHI, India, (/P)—India
has been advised that Tibet’s 16
year-old ruler, the Dadai Lama,
and his government of Buddhist
priests still contral Lhasa, the,
Tibetan capital.
This report from India’s repre
sentative in Lhasa, Dr. S. Sinha,
contradicted persistent rumors
stemming from Tibetan traders
| that the boy ruler and his elderly ;
regent, Takta Rimpoche, had fled
! before invading Chinese commun
i ist armies.
I
l Dr. Sinha’s report heartened of
ficial sources who had felt that
the swift collapse of the Tibetan
! government was imminent. The
Indian government had told Dr.
Sinha India would give asylum to
any legitimate refugees from
Tibet.
Of the military situation, the re
port said only that communist
troops were regrouping for fur
ther attacks after the capture of
i
Chamdo, major caravan center
350 air miles east and north of
Lhasa.

Korean Situation
At A Glance —
(Continued from Page One)
said the prevailing military opin
ion in the northwest setcor is that
if communist China rolls up un
limited support from her vast
armies, U. N. troops would be
forced into a costly retreat. Allied
officers said the Chinese were ex
perts at mountain fighting and
their discipline was superior to
the North Koreans.
In Pearl Harbor after a visit to
Korea, the U. S. Pacific Marine
Corps commander, Lt. Gen. Lem
uel C. Shepherd, Jr., predicted
battles “as difficult as any we
have even undertaken.”

Wednesday, October 8, 1950
A great armada of Allied planes
today blasted North Korea all
along the Red China frontier in
an effort to stop Chinese rein
forcements.
Six hundred Allied warplanes
pounded border arteries as air ob
servers reported “very heavy traf
fic” rolling across Manchuria tow
ards Korea. Seven hundred ve
hicles were spotted south of the
border and heading for North Ko
rea front lines.
United Nations forces gained on
•,
all fronts. Gen. MacArthur’s head
quarters clamped a news black
out on what is happening between
the communist front and the bor
der. What the Reds’ next move
would be remained a mystery.
At Lake Success, U. N. diplo
mats braced for a major decision
—how to deal with Red Chinese
forces.
Observers said the United
States may ask the Security Coun
cil to demand the withdrawal of
Chinese communists from Korea.
Russia is expected to demand
that a representative of Red China
be invited to participate in the
discussions.
On the northwest Korean fight
ing front, Allied troops were de- j
ployed along a new 60-mile line
from the Anju beachhead over
the ChongChon River northwest,
to Pakchon then eastward to
Yongdong.
Elements of the U. S. Third In
fantry Division landed at the port
of Wonsan to reinforce east coast
positions.
U. S. jets met Russian-built i
jets in an historic air battle. An
American F-80 Shooting Star
shot down a Soviet-made Mig-15
as the planes zipped better than
600 miles an hour. The enemy jets !
attempted to lure the Americans
over Chinese territory without
success.
Eighty Superforts dumped 640
tons of bombs on Sinuiju, a border
city of 100,000 said to be the main
North Korean base where sup
plies from Manchuria are concen
trated.
Truman Votes
Straight Ticket— r
Democratic, Sure!
INDEPENDENCE, Mo., (/P) —
President Truman voted the
“straight Democratic ticket” yes
terday in the Seventh Precinct of
Blue Towuship before flying back
to Washington.
He cast his ballot in the old
voting place set up in the gymna
sium building not far from his
own home on North Delaware
Street.
The President arrived at the
building at 9:33 a.m., after a 12
mile ride from the Hotel Meuhle
bach in Kansas City where he
spent Sunday and Monday nights.
He flew here to vote in person
and set an example -for other
Americans despite the fact that
he mailed in an absentee ballot
several weeks ago. Under Missouri
law, his ballot yesterday cancel
led out the other.
“Did you vote the straight Dem
ocratic ticket?” h was asked.
“Oh sure, what would you ex
pect the President of the United
States to do?”
The many friends of Judge J.
Kehoe will be glad to learn he is
now home and much improved
from his recent illness.
