The War in Korea
Thursday
SEOUL, W!— Allied warplanes
unleashed an orgy of fiery de
struction over North Korea Thurs
day. It included a record 1,000
mile round trip fighter-bomber
smash within 50 miles of Russia’s
Siberian border.
The U.S. Fifth Air Force said
15 F-84 Thunderiets, flying from
bases in South Korea, plastered
industrial targets near Chongjin,
140 miles from Vladivostok, in the
longest fighter-bomber strike of
the war.
Friday
Determined South Korean sol
diers Friday beat off five bloody
Communist counterattacks and
held grimly to a newly won, shell
scarred knob on Sniper Ridge on
the Korean central front.
Allied soldiers made no effort #
to hide the fact that the death of
Russiaij Premier Joseph Stalin
was good news to them. But few
thought it would have any effect
on life in the bunkers of the bleak
battlefront.
Terse Consolences Given
From U.S. on Stalin Death
WASHINGTON, UP)— Consolen
ces on the death of Premier Stalin
of Russia, terse and plainly desig
nated “official,” were transmitted
to Moscow on President Eisen
hower’s orders Thursday night.
The official U.S. message said:
“The government o’f the United
States tenders its official condol
ences to the government of the
Union of Soviet Socialist Repub
lics on the death of Generalissimo
Joseph Stalin, prime minister of
the Soviet Union.”
Observers noted that the mes
sage complied with requirements
of international courtesy without
including a word of sympathetic
tribute.
All-Aluminum “Otter”
Travels on Land, Mud,
Snow, Water and Marsh
Army Ordnance officials have
released the fact that the first all
aluminum ground vehicle ever
mass produced is rolling ^om as
sembly lines at Pontiac Motor
Division. The vehicle is the high
ly versatile “Otter,” T46E-1 am
phibious cargo carrier, capable of
operating in snow, heavy mud, up
steep grades, in the water and
can negotiate practically any ter
rain.
Pontiac has been delivering the
Otter to Ordnance for nearly a
year, following a year of final
engineering, designing and plant
tooling.
Extreme light weight of the ve
hicle has been withheld previous
ly in that it reveals that the army
plans the vehicle for non-armored,
non-combat use, and that it can
be easily air-borne.
It is believed to be of particular
value in the Arctic. Gross weight
is little more than four tons, re
markably light for a full truck
sized enclosed carrier.
Time zones in the United States
were first adopted by the' rail
roads.
