FORT YUKON
THREATENED,
FOREST FIRE
FAIRBANKS. Alaska, July 18—
Iff)—The tiny Arctic Circle village of
Fort Yukon, rebuilt by residents
after it was destroyed by flood two
years ago. faced a new peril today:
fire.
A radioed call for aid, received
here last night, said a wind-swept
forest fire had moved within two
miles of the village, approximately
150 miles north of Fairbanks.
Mrs. Ed Toussaint, town po1-'mas
ter and amateur radio operator said
the wind had died down but that
residents feared a new blow would
send flaming firebrands cascading
down into the heart of the town.
A heavy blanket of smoke covered
the village and its adjacent landing
field, making it impossible to send
help by air.
Men of the village bulldozed a
wide path around-the town in ef
forts to halt the advancing blaze.
The village was carried down the
Yukon river by flood waters in
1948. Residents rebuilt the town last
year, moving it farther from the
river to avoid the floods.

SEATTLE'S CIVIL
DEFENSE SET AFTER
MOCK ATOM RAID
SEATTLE. July 18—L'P)— Seattle,
which had nearly 40,000 persons
killed—theoretically—in two atom
bombings a week ago, is as well pre
pared for such an emergency as is
possible now, Mayor William F.
Devin said today.
Devin met with governors of four
states and officials from military
and civilian agencies in Washing
• ton, D.C., London, England, and
Ottawa* at a critique of the civil
defense plan.
For an entire week these officials
will give opinions and advice on
solutions to the defense problem
which the Seattle Civil Defense
Board tackled after the mock bomb
ings last week.
Theoretically, two bombs were
dropped, hours apart. The first ex
ploded underwater in Elliott Bay,
fronting the city at 6:50 a.m. That
I would have caused 6,610 deaths from
fatal radiation, 5,690 serious injuries
and 1,750 hospitalization cases.
The second and more damaging,
came a little after 3 p.m. It ex
ploded 2,500 feet in the air over the
Ballard district, north of the main
business district. This was figured
as the most deadly, killing between
I 25,000 and 32,000.
I “We take the position in Seattle
that any kind of a disaster is a
civil responsibility,” Devin said.
Grimy rescue crews have re
newed their search for three men
! stni trapped in a burning lead
mine at Lark, Utah. A pause was
called last night until fans could
pump out dense smoke which clog
ged the mine tunnels.

Radio Dispute, Too
The North Korean Pyongyang
radio said more than 2,500 Ameri
cans were killed and more than 100
were captured in fighting south of
the Kum river up to 6 p.m. Mon
jay, Tokyo time. Reports from U.S.
Eighth Army headquarters in Ko
rea indicated, however, U.S. casu
alties were light in the last 48 hours
while the enemy suffered heavily
trying to crack the defenses north
of Taejon.
Diplomatic maneuvers to end the
war continued. Moscow published
an exchange of letters between
Prime Minister Stalin and Prime
Minister Nehru of India in which
the two leaders agreed Communist
China must be admitted to the
United Nations before a settlement
of the Korean war could be ne
gotiated.
Secretary of State Acheson was
believed ready to tell Nehru the U.S.
wants peace in Asia but mot at the
price of bowing to aggression in
Korea. The U.S. and most non
Communist U.N. members were ex
pected to insist that negotiation of
a Korean settlement can come only
when North Korean forces return to
the 38th parallel.
Red China Loses Oil
Britain stopped all oil shipments
to Communist China. The foreign
office said British needs in the Far
East have increased because of op
erations backing the U.N. resolu
tion. Earlier this month the British
turned down an American sugges
tion to limit oil shipments to Red
China.
The war st.urred demands in Con
gress for a Pacific Defense Pact
along Atlantic Treaty lines. The de
mands were heard as the House
opened debate on a $1,222,500,000
arms aid bill for non-Communist
nations. Its passage was certain.
President Truman will call for
more men, money and authority in
his message to Congress tomorrow.
He addresses the nation by radio to
morrow night.
Senatorial committees, mean
while, looked toward investigations
of the Korean military effort and*
of sharply rising prices at home.
Walter Reuther, President of the
CIO United Auto Workers Union,
proposed to President Truman that
the U.S. invest more than a trillion
dollars in a 100-year fight t" wipe
Communism from the earth. He pro
posed a U.S. contribution of $13,
000.000,000 a year to a U.N. offen
sive against Communism.
London reported three newT cases
of suspected sabotage of British
warships. There was speculation
that the incidents, said to have oc
curred against three destroyers,
were of Communist origin. British
ships have taken part in Allied
shelling of North Korean positions.

RETALIATE RED
ATROCITIES, SAYS
6EN. WAINWRIGHT
SAN ANTONIO, Tex,, July 18—
i/PI — Jonathan M. Wainwright
thinks the United States should get
tough in Korea.
Wainwright, hero of Bataan and
Corregidor, believes retaliation
should be the “only answer” to
atrocities in Korea. The 66-year-old
retired General, who suffered tor
tures and long imprisonment by
the Japanese, brought up the sub
ject of atrocities in an interview
with the Associated Press.
“I read that the North Koreans
took some of our men captive, tied
their hands behind their backs and
shot them in the face. I will say,
unequivocally, that were I com
manding in Korea, I would meet
that situation by giving captives
the same treatment. The Japs did
that to some of my men. I think
the only answer is retaliation.”
The old campaigner, 45 years a
soldier, was interviewed on the ]
screened porch of his fine San An- j
tonio home,
