TOWN ENDANGERED
BY CHLORINE GAS
AT MARINE BASE
DAGGETT, Calif. Dec. 13—UPI—
An explosion at a Marine Corps
supply depot today brought a
threat of possible evacuation oi
this isolated desert town to escape
chlorine gas.
Officials said fire followed the
blast, set off by electric sparks
which somehow touched damp
chlorine.
The big Marine base is on the
Mojave some eight miles east of
Barstow, lying between the towns
of Yermo on U. S. Highway 91
and Daggett on U. S. 68.
The town's population is about
500.
The blast sent a gigantic envel
oping cloud oi chlorine gas into the
air.
Evacuated Narines
Say Cold Weather
Big Fader in Fight
Marines wounded in the bitter
lighting around Changjin reservoir
in Northeast Korea say they had
two enemies—the fanatical Chinese
Communists and the weater. In
San Francisco, Captain Robert
Johnson commented: "It wasn't
the Chinks that licked us. It was
the freezing cold. It froze all our
equipment and machinery. We had
to leave everything.” Many of
those evacuated credited allied air
support for their survival. One
said, "If it hadn't been for the
Air Force no Marine would have
gotten out alive.” Another said:
“We killed more Chinese in the
withdrawal than in the advance:
but we lost an awful lot of men.”

Front dispatches said there was

General MacArthur’s Wednesday

words long, it said Tuesday ground
activity was limited to patrol ac

DALL SHEEP IN
mckinley park
ARE INCREASING
WASHINGTON, Dec. i3_<yi>)_The
Dali sheep, of the Big Horn species,
are staging a comeback in Mount
McKinley National Park in Alaska,
after being reduced to around 300
by wolves.
Grant Pearson, Superintendent of
the Park who is here on vacation,
j said the wolf pack has been reduc
ed by shooting.
Tiiis, he continued, has permitted
the mountain sheep to increase to
approximately 1,000, with chances
j of a lurther increase favorable.
The National Park Service tries
| to keep all kinds of native wild
animals, predators as well as others,
in the Park to preserve the natural
picture of wildlife.
John Doerr, chief naturalist of
the Park Service, told a reporter
that wolves are partially respons
ible for the decrease in the number
of Dali sheep. Weather, Pearson
said, also plays a large part in
destruction.
"We try to keep all wild animals
in the Park and when the number
of a species becomes unbalanced,
as in the case of the Dali sheep and
wolves, we reduce the number until
the sheep can live safely," he said.
"Wolves seemed to be our main
problem among the predators al
though there are a few coyotes
in the park.
“We never tried to clean out the
wolves but just to reduce the num
ber so the sheep could live without
danger of being exterminated.”
Doerr said that reduction of the
number of wolves in the park has
also been beneficial to the caribou
herds.

2 PLATOON SYSTEM
iS RAISING TROUBLE
FOOTBALL CIRCLES
NEW YORK, Dec. 3— UP) —The
only thing than can be said for
certain about the two-platoon foot
ball system is that it has produced
two rabid schools of thought among
ihe nation’s most vocal and out
spoken fans—the sports writers and
radiomen who "cover’’ the games.
Approximately half of them think
it is the greatest invention since
money. Their opposite numbers
consider the two-platoon an unmit
igated evil which threatens to ruin
the game. Very few of the hundreds
who responded to the Associated
Press’ annual year-end poll were
neutral about it.
The question put to them was
Do you think that two-platoon
tootball is dividing the teams into
’haves” and “have-nots?” many
answered merely yes or no, but a
majority expressed themselves at
seme length. Following is a cross
section of their remarks:
•Yes, it over-matches the have
nots, and if continued it will break :
up many traditional series.”
“No, it is the best innovation in j
recent years. Two platoons are a j
must.”
“Yes, it is playing hell. Schools j
such as St. Mary’s and Santa Clara i
on the West Coast, T.C.U. in Texas
and many others which don’t have !
unlimited manpower already are 1
feeling the strain.”

FOR KEMPS!
IN the difficult years ahead, that new truck
of yours will have to put out more—and
take it longer. So there are many reasons
you’ll be wise to choose a GMC!
You’ll get the constant dividend of GMC’s
greater pulling power — truck-built horse
power with greater sustained torque than
other engines.
And with that power goes the greater
stamina of GMC’s rugged truck-engineered
frame. In practically all models, from Vi ton
up, you get such extra value features (at no
extra cost!) as Synchro-Mesh transmission,
Tocfco-hardened crankshaft, airplane-type
bearings, and Lifetime Weathersealed cabs.
They all tell you that longer life and lower
maintenance are standard equipment with
a GMC.
As your GMC dealer we are transportation
engineers, specializing in selecting the exact
combination of the right engine, axle, trans- y
mission and frame for your particular
trucking job.
That’s why there’s a special GMC truck
waiting for you. Come in, let us show you
why GMC is your best buy for the years
ahead!
