Mis. Cary added that Vernon
Murphy was the boy to whom she
referred.
Mrs. Mary L. Harry, Day Clerk
at the Pickwick Hotel, said that
Mi Watkins had lived there for
approximately two weeks.
“She told me Tuesday afternoon
that she was going to Pittsburgh,
and would be back Wednesday
night. June was with her then.
Her clothes and things arc still
here However, some of the hotel’s
guests later told me that Juanita
came back after I went off duty
at 4 p.m. and changed her clothes."
"Juanita was a little stout, but
she had a beautiful figure," Mrs.
Harry continued. "She was rath-
er retiring in her manner, and
when you met her you got the
impression that she was quite
ladylike
"She had brow n hair and blue
eyes. I’d say that she was definite-
ly above the average."
Mrs. Harry described June as
"a sweet-looking girl; she had
dark hair, and I think blue eyes,
and was rather slim. 1 only saw
her that once, however."
O gracious God whose bounteous hand
Has blessed this year our native land,
There are grains and fruit aplenty
So our people will be fed,
In this land of God’s great bounty
None will want for daily bread—
So we today with thoughts sublime
Give praise to Him, Thanksgiving time.
Let us uphold that Pilgrim faith
That trusted Thee through ate and death
When gathered round the festal board
In gratitude unto the Lord,
We voice Thy praise, and give Thee love
For all Thy blessings from above—
Thy promises in bud and flower.
Redeemed to us this day and hour.
Now corrfes the feast of all the year.
To thankful hearts the time most dear.
Let smiles be seen above the board
So bounteous for man and beast,
For life, and home, and native land
And all for which our people stand—
An extra plate and cover lay
In Christ’s dear name, Thanksgiving Day.
WASHINGTON, Nov. *1 (U.P>—
Gen. Hoyt S. Vandenbcrg said to-
d.ny that there are no targets in
North Korea, to warrant the use
of atomic bombs by United Na-
tions forces.
The air force chief of staff told
a news conference that he could
see no justification for using
atomic bombs of the kind now
stockpiled where the job could be
done with conventional weapons.
Vandenbcrg. who recently re-
turned from an inspection tour of
the Korean battle front, said it is
impossible for U. S. planes to gain
"true" air supremacy there with-
out bombing Communist air bases
in Manchuria.
But he said any decision to do
so is a “policy decision which must
be taken by the United States and
its United Nations allies."
Vandenbcrg conceded that U. S.
"control of the air in northwest
Korea, although by no means lost,
is not as firm as it was.”
"Under the ground rules estab-
lished at the outset of the Korean
war," he said, "it is impossible
for us to gain air supremacy over
the Chinese Communist air force
under the classical definition.”
requested by the Communists with
I the words:
"We have made a careful study
of your Nov. 17 proposal and ex-
- planatory statement. We agree in
! principle to your proposal.
“However, we consider the form
! not proper and suitable for a for-
mal agreecment. Also, we hold dif-
ferent views in connection with
certain parts.” •
Hodes Raises Objection
After listening to the Commu-
nist counter-proposal, Hodes rais-
ed almost the same objection to
the Rod plan.
He was particularly concerned
over the wording of the first para-
graph. It said:
"The principle is accepted that
the actual line of contact between
both sides be made the military
demarcation line, and that both
sides withdraw two kilometers 11 t
miles from this line so as to estab-
lish a demilitarized buffer zone."
Hodes contended the Commu-
nists should not have mentioned
a troop withdrawal without speci-
fying when the withdrawal would
take place.
