FIGHT FOR BARGAINS—Here is a scene in New York's R. H. Macy department store as buyers lured by price cutting contest, jammed around clerks to give their orders. This is a special scotia set up for the sale of electric Mixmasters which went as low as $29.69 compared with the fixed price of $16.50 knocked out by a Supreme Court ruling.

The attack comes from Big City Price War Merrily Goes Its Way NEW YORK (AP)—Throngs of bargain hunters stamped New York City's department stores today as the big town's first all-out price war in more than 14 years entered its second week. At one uptown store, two shoppers were pushed through a plate glass window by a shoving, milling crowd of 2000. They suffered arm and shoulder cuts. Bargain - hungry customers queued up in front of department stores as early as 6 a.m. Manhattan's busy Herald Square was still the local point of the great battle. Four hundred men and women surged into Gimbel's when the doors opened at 9:30 a.m.; 600 poured into Macy's when the world's biggest department store sounded its opening gong 15 minutes later. The plate glass-shoving occurred at Roger's department store in the Bronx. The store had advertised cut-rate bargains which some of the larger downtown emporiums had run out of last week. In the crowd of 2000 were a man and a woman who had hoped to snap up two of 12 Lewyt vacuum sweepers marked down to $49.99 from the fair traded "fixed" price of $89.95. The two shoppers were forced through the glass in a mad stampede when the doors opened. Police on duty called for reinforcements. In the big Manhattan stores, the fifth day of the jamboree saw prices of some fair-traded, merchandise slashed as much as 50 per cent. Some favorites were out of stock. Macy's counters had been stripped of the popular Sunbeam Mixmaster and the McGraw toaster in last week's free-for-all and this morning substitutes were being offered. The Dormeyer mixer, heretofore price-fixed at $46.50, went on sale at $29.69. In place of the selling book, "From Here to Eternity," marked down to $1.94 from $1.50. At Bloomingdale's, men shoppers found Springweave summer suits back at their original price —$49.50 after plunging to $29.75 last week. It was the same story with other higher-priced lightweight suits. The less expensive Haspel and Palm Beach lines could still be had at bargain rates but only a few were available. The Haspel cotton cord—price-fixed at $20.75—opened this morning at $13.45. Palm Beach suits, fair-traded at $29.95, went on the block at $17.95. There was still no indication when the battle of prices would end. Acheson (Continued from Page 1) tary and hair in economic supplies—since the fall of Japan. And he declared that 75 per cent of all the U.S. war material furnished to the Chinese nationalists was captured by the communists. Acheson cited a November, 1948, report by General Barr, head of the military mission to China, that "no battle has been lost since my arrival due to lack of ammunition or equipment." "Their (the Chinese nationalist) military debacles, in my opinion, can all be attributed to the world's worst leadership and many other morale-destroying factors that led to a complete loss of the will to fight," Barr reported. On the point of MacArthur's dismissal, Acheson said the Far Eastern commander in effect challenged the policies as laid down by the president." He said he not only concurred in the decision to fire him but helped to draft the official announcement of the commander's removal. "I think it is very clear," he said, that MacArthur "was unable to give his wholehearted support" to the policies handed down to him by the administration. DISTURBS PEACE J. D.

The attack comes from County Supervisors associated with General Marion William R. MacDougall. MacDougall hit at the counter's closed-door decision to prove a bill providing that it may charge unlicorporated urban areas for such special fees as police protection. The cities have complained fringe areas are getting more they pay for—since they do pay city taxes. The bill now before the Assembly is by Assemblyman A. L. wart (R-Pasadena). Some amendments were put into effect the closed hearing of the committee which had previously given a ½-hour public hearing. MacDougall said he knowing of the amendments, yet ceded, in a press statement, "there have been intimations about the amended bill represent compromise upon the issue involved." MacDougall said, however, seems to have been "no deference whatsoever from the law and hasty principles of the earlier forms." The county official urged the bill be sent back to commit and that a between-session relative committee study the problem. Stewart had this to say on MacDougall complaint: "It's dent that the BPIG that gets tail caught in the gate squeals loudest."

NOW IS THE TIME TO GET THAT NEW PONTIAC Ask your Pontiac Dealer why? Sailor Wants to Wed Dying Girl; Publicity Causes Postponement NORFOLK, Va., (U) — A 19-year-old sailor—his leave cancelled and his wedding to a cancer-doomed girl of 18 "postponed indefinitely"—was due back at his station here today. Tom Amburn was granted a 30-day emergency leave last week from Norfolk Naval Air station to marry Betty Thompson of Atlanta, Ga. He saw Betty. The story got in the papers. Thel Amburn flew to see his parents in Sioux Falls, S. D. At Solifix Falls, Tom's father, A. F. Amburn, protested the publicity the romance had given rise to, and said he planned to have a "long talk" with Tom. Yesterday the Navy cancelled the young aviation machinist's mate's leave because he had gone to Sioux Falls after giving East Point, Ga., as his emergency address. Last night at Omaha, Neb., between planes as he returned here, young Amburn told newsmen he wanted a chance to be left alone. "We want no more publicity," he said. We'll work it out the best we can in the eyes of God. Betty's days are numbered and I would like to spend them happily. If the people and the press in the United States have any humanity in them, they'll leave us alone, starting now." His wedding plans, he acknowledged, were "postponed indefinitely." He says whatever he does Donmeyer (Continued from Page 1) for his product depends largely on his willingness and ability to give the consumer a quality product. "There is no other way," he declared. "This means," he went on, "eliminating sizes and quality which do not come up to consumer approval." MOD is currently suggesting that not only size 392 but 344 be sent to the processing plant instead of being shipped fresh. The Real Gold Citrus Products plant, subsidiary of MOD is located at 1460 N.

For a while he ran a store at Rutleton, Kansas. He came to Burlington eight years ago to be with a sister, Mrs. Anna Hilton, in her last years. It was her death which prompted him to make his own funeral plans. They would have given her a dog's funeral if it hadn't been for me," he explains. "This way, I know what's going on at my own funeral." The entire service was recorded, to be replayed after his death. But the services won't be in Burlington. Miffed at the opposition he says he encountered in his planning, Gernhardt has directed he be buried at Goodland. "I wouldn't be caught dead here," he declared.

Tank-led U.N. forces hacked out gains of one to three miles—in spots. In other places they stood still. Allied gains were chipped out slowly in tough, often hand-to-hand fighting. Spears of infantrymen and armor pushed northward trying to reach and break the reds' Iron Triangle," tipped by Churwon, Kumhwa and Pyonggang. They were thrusting up from Yonchon, 13 miles below Churwon; from Yongpyong and Yongong near the 38th Parallel; and from Hwachon, 18 miles from Kumhwa. The Eighth Army was willing to pay the cost of taking the triangle of cities because: 1. The triangular dominates an important network of highways. 2. If masses of Allied tanks could reach Churwon, they would find flat country, excellent for their type of fighting. In the flat triangle, Allied artillery would be more bloodily efficient than ever.

Betty has lost one of her legs to cancer. Now a lung has been attacked, and physicians say she may die this fall. The young couple met in Atlanta last fall, and according to Amburn, it was "love at first sight." In Atlanta last night her mother said Betty was calm over developments.
