Not so long ago a former UNC
classmate. Jack Wardlaw, turned
up in the book writing field. Now
comes another friend doing like
wise.
He's Lt. Col. Frank Mallen,
USMC. a former newspaper pub
lisher in upper New York, Tucka
hoe to be exact.
I first knew Frank when he re
'orted in as a reserve at Camp
^ejeune during World War II and
was head of the reclamation and
salvage outfit. Then he drew a
stint overseas before leaving serv
ice again.
In the interim he got interested
in Walter Thompson's Hushpuppy
Mix and tried to help out for a very
brief spell before going back home
and settling down to publishing the
Westchester Law Journal and do
ing research work.
That latter led into his book
"You've Got It Coming to You.''
It contains the answers to veterans
rights, benefits and privileges in
and out of the services. I'm not one
to comment on the actual value of
the book, but a casual reading gave
me information I'd never thought
of or heard of.
Wednesday a week ago the Lions
planned a two-party fishing trip,
one party in the morning and one
in the afternoon.
Art Innes went down for the first
morning trip, and the weather was
so tough that they were unable to
get outside. "I'm telling you one
thing right now." Art declared. "No
more morning fishing for me; I'm
not getting up at 3:30 a.m. and rid
ing all the way to the coast and
not knowing whether you're gonna
get to go fishing. No more of that
stuff for me. I'm going in the
afternoon from now on."
So the Lions postponed their
trip until Wednesday of this week.
You guessed it, one of the party
on the early morning trip was Art
—the same guy who was going to
the dog races without betting.

Labor Party Will Attempt
Overthrow Of Churchill
LONDON (JT)—The Labor Party,
moved today to force a House of!
Commons showdown on the failure!
of the United States to notify Brit
ain in advance of the Yalu River
power plant bombings in North
Korea.
The party filed a formal motion.;
for debate next Tuesday, demand-1
ing that the Conservative govern-;
ment make "improved arrange-1
ments" for prior consultations on,
such matters in the future. The
resolution also "regrets" the fail
ure rf the government to obtain
such consultation prior to the Yalu
River strikes.
Such a motion could be construed
by Prime Minister Winston Church
ill as a motion of censure of his
government and—if carried—could
force him to ask for the dissolu
tion of Parliament and a new na
tional election.
Parliamentary press veterans
said, however, that the resolution
was mildly enough worded so that
Churchill has the option of not ac
cepting it is a censure motion.
The text of the resolution:
"While appreciating that the gov
•nment and armed forces of the
) S. A. have borne the major
ire of the burden of resisting
.med aggression in Korea, (the
House o! Commons) regrets the
fii!u?e of the government to secure
effective ccnsu'-tstien cn th«
of certain air operations, aod con
siders that improved arrangements
should now be made to enable such
consultations to take place between
the governments principally con
corned on issues of United Nations !
policy in the Far East."
U. S. Secretary of State Dean
Acheson apologized to members ot
Parliament yesterday for U. S. fail
ure to notify Britain of the Yalu,
raids in advance and explained the !
circumstances of the oversight.
Earlier, he had notified Foreign j
Secretary Anthony Eden that the
United States would be happy to
have a British officer on the staff |
of Gen. Mark W. Clark, the U. N. 1
commander in the Far East, for
closer liaison.
The Socialists, spurred by Ache-!
son's apology, were confidently pre-;
dieting the overthrow of the
Churchill government.
*'! think we shall be in power
again very shortly," former I.abor
Prime Minister Clement R. Attlee
told a meeting of Socialist Unions
last night.
The mild tone of his censure mo
tion, however, led some political
observers to speculate that the So
cialists are not anxious for an all
out test of strength right away.
Churchill has already taken much
of the sting out of the motion by
gaining President Truman's ap
proval to a high level British link
vith the United Nations forces
fighting in Korea

Orders Recess
For Three Days
Despite Protests
Harrison Terms
Communist Talk
As 'Pure Drivel'
By SAM SUMMERLIN
MUNSAN. Korea W1 — Allied
truce negotiators today walked out
on the protesting Communists for
the third time in a month.
Maj. Gen. William K. Harrison
!r.. declared a three-day recess
and marched out of the armistice
tent at Panmunjom while an an
?ry Communist delegation loudly
demanded another meeting tomor
row.
Harrison said North Korean Gen.
Nam II, head of the Communist
truce team, had "great difficulty
controlling himself" at the walk
out.
A U. N. spokesman said Nam's
voice "was approaching a strident
scream."
Harrison once got to the tent
flap when Nam called "please
come back. We have something to
say."
The U. S. general said fce re
sumed his seat and consented re
luctantly "well, once more."
But Nam merely repeated his
demand for a session tomorrow.
As soon as Nam's statement was
translated. Harrison and the four
other Allied negotiators marched
out of the tent.
"I got the impression that some
of the North Korean attaches were
laughing at Nam." Harrison told
newsmen.
The Allies have declared three
day recesses on two previous oc
casions when there appeared to be
no hope of breaking the long dead
lock over how to exchange pris
oners of war, the only major issue
blocking a Korean armistice. The
U. N. refuses to return prisoners
who do not want to go home. The
Reds demand all Allied-held cap
tives.
The Communists insist on daily
meetings, but Harrison said he re
fuses to listen to blasts of Red
propaganda every day. He calls it
"drivel."

Korean Electric Plants
Rebombed By UN Aircraft
SEOUL. Korea (*—Allied fighter
bombers heaped new destruction on
Communist hvdro-electric plants
in North Korea last night. Targets
included two big generating sta
tions which previously hid been
spared.
U. N. infantrymen drove two Chi
nese battalions off two hills on the
Western Front Thursday, at times
using bayonets and flame throwers
to rout the Reds from their bunk
ers.

called the !50-p!ane raid on the
Communists' North Korean power,
network a mopping up operation,
but the number of plar.es involved
ir.ci dsrr.2ge reported by returning
.pilots were impressive
Two power plants at Changjin
(Chosin) were hit for the first
time. Other Air Force and Marine
fighter bombers dumped bombs
and rockets on a third Changjin
generating station and one at
Kusen which already bad been
smashed in raids Monday and
Tuesday.
The planes struck just at sun
down. Pilots said a switchyard was
destroyed and the power house
damaged at Changjin plant No. 1.
The powerhouse and switchyard
were damaged and an adjacent
building v. as destroyed at Chang
jin plant No. 2.
Additional damage also was re
ported at the third Chsr.gjir. plar.t

were put out of action.
Allied planes have not returned
to the giant Suiho plant on the
Yalu River since Monday. This
plant supplied power for Red war
industries in both North Korea and
Manchuria.
An Air Force spokesman said
Friday all the five plants hit Mon
day and Tuesday are out of action
now but "the time required for
the enemy to restore them, if he
has the capability, is not known."
