VOLUME LXXX Anaheim's FIRST Newspaper ANA Chinese Frontline Defenses Crumble Before a 100,000 Allied Offensive U.S. EIGHTH ARMY HEADQUARTERS, Korea UP—Chinese frontline defenses appeared to be crumbling in the west today before an offensive of 100,000 United Nations troops. Battered reds retreated northward in some sectors. Some hills were completely abandoned after days of bitter fighting. Elsewhere only diehard rear guards delayed U.N. troops. Soldiers of nine United Nations moved forward cautiously for limited gains. Late in the day reds lashed back with counterattacks in efforts to recapture some abandoned hills. Elsewhere: 1. The air over northwest Korea flamed with three jet battles involving 220 planes. It was the greatest number of jets ever reported in action on one day. The Fifth Air Force reported one red jet shot down, two damaged. It said all Allied jets returned from the first two battles, but didn't say how they fared in the third. 2. Allied troops lashed forward on each side of heartbreak ridge in a revival of warfare in the new B. Ridgway's invitation to pick a new site in no-man's land to renew disrupted cease fire talks. Red Korean political officers were quoted as saying there would be no negotiated truce in Korea in the near future. Frontline dispatches from the western front reported these major gains Friday in the third day of the drive: 1. The U.S. Third Division took a key hill in the center of the line—without firing a shot. 2. Just south of the Third, the U.S First Cavalry Division beat off a series of pre-dawn counter-attacking Chinese trying to recapture one of the hills. 3. The British Commonwealth division made gains of up to a mile and a half in the sector reaching from Yonchon seven miles south to the 38th Parallel. They fought off one red counterattack late in the day. Freighter Sinks Off Atlantic The story of an apparent air raid in death or wounds for a told here by Pvt. Peter K.

Allied troops lashed forward on each side of heartbreak ridge in a revival of warfare in the mountainous east. U.N. infantrymen advanced 1000 yards to the west of the ridge while a tank patrol shot up reds on the east. 3. Reds were silent on Gen. Matte Price Control Law May Sneak Past Harry After all WASHINGTON (UP) — House leaders today planned to push passage of a bill changing the price control law provision denounced by President Truman as "the terrible Capchart amendment." The Senate yesterday passed the compromise measure 49 to 21 over the objections of Senator Capehart (R-Ind), one of the authors of the controversial amendment which permits sellers to pass on to consumers virtually all cost increases occurring between the start of the Korean war and last July 26. The House leadership had said it would do nothing about this and three other modifications in the controls law asked by Mr. Truman until the Senate acted first. Having voted to go part of the way toward meeting Mr. Truman's requests on the Capehart amendment, the Senate next week will take up two other points raised (Continued on Page 8) 3.

It carried a crew of 24 men. Hours afterward the Coast Guard reported seven men rescued and five bodies sighted. Coast Guard headquarters here said the Steamship Charlotte Lykes radioed she rescued seven of the Southern Isles' 24-member crew and had sighted the five bodies. The Southern Isles broke into pieces about 200 miles southeast of Cape Hatteras, N.C. The Charlotte Lykes, about one hour's steaming time from the stricken ship, rushed to the scene. The Coast Guard said the Navy mine sweeper Fitch had left Charleston, S.C., with a physician aboard and should reach the search area late this afternoon. The Navy also sent a PTV Lockheed Neptune plane to help in the hunt. The cause of the Southern Isles' break-up was not immediately known. She was traveling rough waters, a residue of a hurricane which blew along this coast only yesterday. The Southern Isles, a 2000-ton vessel was owned by the Philadelphia-Norfolk Steamship Co., of Wilmington, Del. It is a former landing ship, tank (LST), designed for carrying supplies and personnel in military amphibious landings. BATTLE CREEK, Mich.

Pivato said his left hand was down off by a .50 caliber bullet from an American plane that safthed his company's position.—(Associated Press Wirephoto.) Armed Soldier Tells How U.N. Plane Killed American Troops in Korea BATTLE CREEK, Mich. (P) — hospitalized Korean war veteran that a strafing Navy plane off his left hand and killed bounded an estimated 40 other members of his rifle company. The account of an apparent op came from Pvt. Peter K. Pivato, 22, of Cleveland. He arrived at Percy Jones General Hospital here yesterday after being back from Japan. The soldier's story has been debated by a qualified source of the East Naval Command. The officer said that the command had planes in the area at the time aboard by Pivato. Confidential report, however, been sent to the Secretary of Navy in Washington, this week said. Pivato, a husky 175-pound-aid the incident occurred on 1882, near Kumcha in Eastern Korea, shortly after noon on Sept. 9. His company (Co. F, 35th Infantry Division) had taken the hill earlier, he said, and was resting after "noon chow." A Navy Corsair fighter, one of a group of four that had been strafing nearby hills, suddenly made one pass at his company's ridge he said. The ship fired .50 caliber bullets, he said. One slug, he said, struck his left arm near the wrist, almost severing his hand. "Maybe 40 other GI's were wounded or killed," he said. Pivato was philosophical. "It's just one of those things that happen in a war," he said. A pattern-maker's apprentice before he entered the army, Pivato was married 23 days before he left for overseas last April 30. His bride, Maryann, lives at 1331 W. 85th St., Cleveland.

Gutierrez, 37, transient Mexican national, who made the rounds of the five-and-tens and cut-rate drug stores in Santa Ana yesterday, displayed a unique taste in his shoplifting, Santa Ana police said. In his two shopping bags, where the loot was stored, they found: six handkerchiefs, by Kress; three wallets, six pairs of sox, two packages of cookies and three decks of playing cards, by Woolworth; a box of Pringle's best candy; a toy army staff car from Newberry, and a mirror from Thrifty. Other items whose ownership has not yet been identified, except that it wasn't Jose, was three toothbrushes, two razors, five packages of razor blades, a jar of after shave lotion, a tin of black shoe polish and a shoe brush, three padlocks, a flashlight, two candy bars and 17 packages of lighter flints. "Jose," said an officer, "evidently was going to get all polished up and then light up the town." He ran when apprehended by Manager Clark V. Smith, of the Kress store. Police later picked him up in the 1000 block of W. Fourth st. and Clark identified him. Total value of all loot, $25.76. How long the young mother, Betty Jean Clark, 19, had been absent, was the question which interested police, they said. Although Mrs. Clark told them she had stepped outside momentarily to summon her two young sons, Kenneth and Michael, to lunch, they were informed by a neighbor, Mrs. Robert F. Pierce, that Mrs. Clark had come to Mrs. Pierce's apartment about 8 a.m. and did not go back to her own apartment and baby until 12 noon. Marlene, strapped in her high chair with an army belt, had strangled on regurgitated food, according to the autopsy report. Her mother, returning to the apartment when her younger sister, Ann Howard, 14, came to have lunch with her, seized the baby and ran back to Mrs. Pierce's apartment crying for her to call help.

Dean, Atomic Official, Advocates Using Bomb When Advantageous LOS ANGELES (AP) — Gordon Dean, top U.S. atomic official, said today the United States has atomic weapons which can "cancel out" on the battlefield: "any numerical advantage" of an enemy and that it need not hesitate or fear to use them. Without indicating whether he had the Korean war specifically in mind, Dean said of the use of tactical atomic weapons: "I think that when a situation arises where in our carefully considered judgment the use of any kind of a weapon is justified, we are now at the place where we should give serious consideration to the use of an atomic weapon, provided it can be used effectively from the military standpoint and that it is no more destructive than is necessary to meet the particular situation in question." The Atomic Energy Commission chairman presented this bold new picture of American atomic power in an address prepared for a Founder's Day gathering at the Temperatures Temperature reading in downtown Anaheim at 2 p.m. today was 92.
