S. Korea
Prepares
For Ike
General May Be
There By Late
Thanksgiving Day
SEOUL, Keren. Nov. 26—UP—
The feverish tempo of welcoming
and security r"'"->nrations for
Dwight Eisenhower led to unofficial
speculation Wednesday that the
U. S. President-elect would be in
Korea within 48 hours.
There was, of course, no official
word but all signs indicated Eisen-
hower might land at a South Ko-
rean airfield barely too late to eat
Thanksgiving dinner with Ameri-
can Gls.
School children were ordered to
wait in school houses until 8 p.m.
Wednesday so they could dash out
into the streets to welcome the man
many Koreans think will somehow
bring peace to their divided nation.
Meanwhile, Mayor Kim Tai Sun
of Seoul said fie could guarantee
j) Eisenhower will be "100 per cent
safe" as he rides throught the
streets of Seoul.
Fear Reds, Crackpots
"I know what I'm talking about,"
Kim said. "I used to be chief of
police here and then I was chief of
the national police. I have studied
the Russian police system and I
know we are better than they are."
Some American officials opposed
Eisenhower's public appearance in
~ this war-ravaged city twice occu-
pied by the Reds and probably har-
boring Communist agents or
"crackpots" who might try assas-
sination.
But Kim said the city of Seoul
was organized in 15-man "cells"
alerted to spot any suspicious ac-
tions.
"We'll know immediately if the
Communists try to start something.
Our organization is built along the
same lines as the Cominform."
The entire South Korean cabinet
• arrived in Seoul Wednesday from
the provisional capital at Pusan.
This appeared to confirm talk that
Eisenhower would hold meetings

ments. The banner above is posted on the ROK capitol in Seoul

Indo-China War
Growing Threat
TOKYO, Nov. 26—UP—Far East
diplomatic observers believe the
military situation in Indo-China has
reached a dangerous stage and
should be given as much immedi-
ate attention as Korea.
They believe the world has tend-
ed to "overlook" the increasing
seriousness of the war in Indo-Chi-
na where large quantities of Rus-
sian military supplies have just
been uncovered.
Generally speaking, diplomatic
quarters are discouraged by the
news of fresh French losses. But
at the same time, they are en-
couraged by reports of a "babv air-
lift" to rush needed supplies from
the United States.
Some quarters speculated that
the Communists appear to be build-
ing up for a new "all-out" push in
Southeast Asia and fear that the
Chinese Reds may swing into Indo-
China—either openly or disguised
—in the near future.
Showdown Expected
These cold facts are being stud-
ied closely:
1. The Trench have given up
some valuable key defense posi-
tions. They have pulled back to an
airbase at Na San. A big show-
down battle with the advancing
Communist Vietminh forces is ex-
pected.
2. The Oammunist forces are
strong and well supplied. A French
raiding party discovered a large
cache of Soviet-built trucks and am-
munition.
. U.S. officials have revealed
that Russia has 35 divisions in East
Asia. The Chinse Communists have
250 divisions.
4. A "baby airlift" has been
started to rush military supplies
from the United States to Indo-
China. Well-informed sources said
the number of flights to Hanoi now
is about 10 per week. This number
is expected to be doubled soon.
French Had to Retreat
5. Loss of Indo -China would
threaten the position of the free na-
tions in Asia.
Asian observers noted that due to
the U.S. elections, the spotlight has
been focused on the war in Korea
which was one of the political is-
sues.
Some believe the intense interest
in Korea has tended to divert at-

tor in President-elect Dwight D.

Warfront
In Korea
Has Lull
Icy Cold Quiet
Ushers In Day
Of Thanksgiving
Bv ROBERT UDICK
SEOUL, Korea, Thursday, Nov.
26—UP—Icy cold weather and a
lull in the fighting ushered in
Thanksgiving Day Thursday for
American Gls huddled in trenches
and foxholes along the 155-mile Ko-
rean battlefront.
The last major activity was a
tremendous UN aerial attack
Wednesday on a sprawling Com-
munist supply ad troop center in
eastern Korea. American fighter-
bombers hurled tons of bombs and
flaming jellied gasoline on the tar-
get, touching off huge fires and ex-
plosions.
As the ground war simmered to
scattered patrol actions, Gls look-
ed forward eagerly to the tradi-
tional Thanksgiving Day fare of hot
turkey, dressing, cranberry sauce
and pumpkin pie.
Leftovers Become Ice
The dinner was sent to the front
in insulated containers to keep it
hot for the shivering soldiers, who
had to eat it right away. Otherwise,
it turned into a hard-icy mass in
the bitter Korean weather.
United Press correspondent Vic-
tor Kendrick reported that a full
moon shone over drifting wisps of
overcast during the night along the
central front, where the battle for
Sniper Hill has raged for 42 days.
The night started out unusually
mild, he said, but later frost start-
ed to cover the steep Korean hills
and gorges, now dressed in red and
yellow autumn foliage.
UN commander Gen. Mark Clark
and Eighth Army Commander Gen.
James A. Van Fleet took time out
from preparing for Gen. Dwight
Eisenhower's visit to Korea to is-
sue Thanksgiving Day messages
to their soldiers.
In Tokyo, Clark reminded the
fighting men they still have much
to be thankful for, despite the war.
He said America's strength and
courage, its high moral determina-
tion and the preservation of its dig-
nity, freedom and rights as human

GI'S IN KOREA
FRONT LINE TO
HAVE TURKEY DAY
SEOUL, Korea, Nov. 26—UP —
GI's in Korea will line up Thurs-
day for a traditional Thanksgiving
day dinner served front line style.
The dinner would cost about $5
in the States, but it costs the Army
only $1.50 per man.
The Eighth Army began making
arrangements a long time ago so
the soldiers in Korea would have
plenty of turkey. Soldiers at the
front and in rear areas will get the
same dinner.
Here's how it would be if you
were at the front:
The chow comes up in insulated
containers to keep it warm. As you
walk past the containers, they
serve you a slice or drumstick of
turkey in one hall of your messkit.
You get dressing, gravy and cran-
berry sauce.
In the other half you get pie,
nuts, sweets or something like that.
While you're juggling these in one
hand, they fill your canteen up with
hot coffee.
You'd better sit right down and
eat it fast. Otherwise it'll freeze

Mechanical Turkev
Call Sounded Real
O. R. Cook, Sweetwater Gulf
Oil employe, has a new mechani-
cal "wild turkey call" that is so
natural that Sirrey Henry, local
T&P employe, crawled a quarter
*1 of a mile on his stomach to try to
get a shot at a wild turkey.
The story came out here Wed-
nesday when a deer and turkey
hunting party returned from a
hunt in Edwards county. Henry
heard a genuine turkey call Ihe
day before and when he heard the
call coming from a hillside where
Cook was hiding he crawled into
action.
Others in the party included
Dewey Pace, L. C. King and J. F.
(K Wills.

discussed, has been staked in sec-
tion 35, block Z, T&P survey, about
two miles southwest of the Sea-
board Billie Hanks field and about
Ihiee miles from Blackwcll.

B&PW Cluh Holds
Employer-Employe
Dinner Program
Sweetwater Business and Profes-
sional Women's Club had a num-
ber of guests at its annual employ-
er-employe dinner Tuesday night
at the Blue Bonnet Hotel Skyroom,
with members bringing their em-
ployers, employees and business
associates.
The program, in charge of Miss
Lois Watson who is public relations
chairman, was on the theme, "The
Ramparts We Build in Community
Participation" in line with the na-
tional B&PW Club federation's gen-
eral program for the coming year.
Mrs. E. J. Yates, president, pre-
sided and the invocation was by
Miss Watson. The Newman High
School "Troubadears" sang three
numbers—"It Might As Well Be
Spring," "Strange Music" and
"American Lullaby."
In the principal talk, Mrs. Allen
Baker, guest speaker, stressed the
Business and Professional Women's
club program for building a strong-
er democracy in action. "In a dem-
ocracy," she said, "there are no
unimportant jobs. Everybody's job
is a public trust. Intelligent co-
operation is the life of business
—boost and the world is with you;
knock and you go alone.
"An ideal business is founded on
employer-employe relationships in
which both realize that they have
a great deal at stake. With coopera-
tion and understanding they help
to solve the other's problems. Pay
honor and tribute where and when
it is due. It has been said that
the golden rule never tarnishes.

UN Overides Reds
On Truce Proposal
India's Plan To
Be Debated First
In Assembly Talk
About Korean War
UNITED NATIONS. N. Y., Nov.
2G—UP—The United Nations over-
rode Russia's vociferous objections
Wednesday and voted priority in
debate for India's compromise Ko-
rean peace plan.
By a vote of 49 to 5 with 1 ab-
stention. the General Assembly's
Main Political committee pu! the
Indian plan ahead of all other Ko-
rean proposals on the list for con-
sideration. Thtr . it shelved—with
consent of the sponsors—a 21-pow-
er American- designed resolution
and— over vigorous objections —
a Russian proposal heavily loaded
for the Communists.
Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei
} Y. Vishinsky tried hard to throw
| the committee into a parliarnent-
[ ar.v brawl on the priority issue,
[ but Western delegates refused to
! argue with him.
Five Went Along
But Vishinsky persuaded only
! the five members of the soviet
bloc to vote against the priority
I resolution, originated by Iran. Na-
] tionalist China abstained.
The Russian foreign minister
argued that it was against the
j committee's rules of procedure to
put the Indian compromise plan
j ahead. He declared that the 60-
I nation group must vote on the Ko-
rean proposals in the order in
which they were represented—first
the American pian and then the
Russian, unless the United States
and its co-sponsors wanted to
withdraw theirs.
When Vishinsky failed to draw
Western fire, he announced that
he found it "regretful that the
sponsors of this proposal find it
impossib'" t*> come out in its de-
fense." There still was no reply,
except from Iran's Nasrollah En-
tezam, who declared the priority
resolution broke no rule of pro-
cedure.
If India accepts the amend-
ments, Wednesday's 49-5 vote was
indicative of the eventual final
ballot for passage of the Indian
Compromise, observers believed.
The 21 Western Powers voted
unanimously for priority to India's
plan in a 50-minute meeting Thurs-
day night.

Snow Piling
Higher From
Winter Storm
RUSSELL, Kan , Nov. 20—UP—
Stinging snowstorms, backed up by
winds of up to 60 miles an hour,
piled up drifts over a tremendous
belt of the United States from the
Texas Panhandle to the GreaJ
Lakes Wednesday, paralyzingv
transportation and stranding hun-
dreds of motorists and school chil-
dren.
The first blizzard of the winter
killed at least 10 persons in its first
day and more were likely to perish
| Wednesday. Dozens of persons
| were injured because of the blind-
j ing snow and treacherous ice.
All of the deaths came in acci-
j dents caused by the poor visibility
j —in some cases zero—or by the
I ice. Minnesota, Wisconsin and Ne-
j braska each reported two deaths,
! and Iowa, Kansas, Missouri and
Texas each had one.
Casualty Lists
Increase by 271
WASHINGTON, Nov. 26 —UP—
American combat casualties in
Korea now total 126,997, an in-
crease of 271 from last week, the

j deaths. 91,933 wounded, 9,444 miss-
I ing, 1.971 captured, and 1,391 pre-
viously missing but returned to
military service.
The total represents casualties
whose next of kin had been no
tified through last Friday. It does
not reflect ail casualties to date
since one to three weeks are re-
quired to notify next of kin.

The storm hit the Great Plains
states of Texas, Oklahoma, Kan-
j sas, Nebraska, Iowa, and the Da-
i kotas and piled drifts high in Wis-
i eonsin and Minnesota. It hurled
! itself against the mountain states
j of Colorado. Wyoming and Mon-
! tana, threatening stock herds.
It was a "warm" blizzard, with
1 temperatures ranging generally in
' the 20's and the snowfall seldom
heavier than six inches. But the
I gusty winds blew the snow into
' every draw, gully and road cut
| from ArowiUo, Tex., to Rochester.
I Minn., isolating whole areas.
Kansas Guard Mobilized
The Kansas National Guard was
mobilized, with guardsmen turning
back motorists at all roads leading
out of Russell. Roads out of Wich-
ita. Kan.,'were also closed.
Bus service within Wichita was
| halted Tuesday night because of
drifts in the streets. Production
lines at Cessna aircraft plants,
i along with Boeing and Beech units,
'were at a standstill as plant of-
ficials cancelled shifts because
j workers could not get through.
The swirling snows turned the
| entire belt into a glistening, frigid
wasteland.
Pive children, ranging in age
i from 6 to 10. were marooned with
