Which now puts the U.N. armor on the edges of the best fighting ground for tanks in Korea, large level spaces. First class for tanks - especially the "C enturions." CHIWESE COMMUNISTS ( From China - news of a revolt of Comunist militia. A month ago a dispatch stated that two hundred militiamen had risen, under the leadership of a guerrilla chieftain. They took to mountain strongholds, in the Province of KWantung, and held out. We now have a second report - three more tol'lller guerrilla chiefs taking their militia units to the 110untaina. Revolt spreading - and lining up with the lationalista on Formosa. The COIIIIU.niats have an explanation. They say the orale or the Red ■ilitia was ruined by wine and women. Maybe they also sang. Neutral Chinese opinion, however, is that the militia grew discontent, because they thought they should run things. Instead, Red bureaucrats took control.

BOYL E The Chairman of the Democratic National committee, William Boyle, paid a total of eleven thousand dollars to an official of the R.F.C. We heard about these payments before J made to H. Turney Gratz. Today Gratz gave the total; - and he received twelve hundred of the eleven thousand after Boyle became Democratic National Chairman. Why was he padd the money? · "Compensation and expenses," said Gratz. He said he did work for Boyle, helped him with financial 1nveat11ent records - all on his spare time. "It was a mere coincidence that I was working tor the R.P.C.," he explain.a. rt was pointed out that the payments from Boyle stopped when he left the R.F.C. - and went to work for Boyle's own Democratic National C0111111ittee. He explained that by saying - the COllllllittee job kept him too busy to do extra work for Boyle. Not so busy working for the R.F.C. - it would appear. GABRI ELSO N The case of Republic a n Nat io n al ChaL·man Guy Gabrielson brought new testimony tod a y - the a p pearance of Harvey J. Gunderson, a former Di.rector of the R.F.C, Oabrielsnn has already told .::;enate investigators that he reco•ended Gunderson for the post of president of the New York S~ock Exchange - at one hundred thousand dollars a year. Today Gunderson stated that this happened vnly after he knew he was leaving the R.F.C. - not reappointed by President Truman. He said he handled questions conceming the loan ot eighteen and a half million dollars to a che■lcal tirm, ot which the Republican National Chairman is the President. Gabrielson asked tor an extension of the payments on the loan. But this was before the question of the Stock Exchange job - which came up after Gunderson had ailiz ceased to be in a position to do anything about the loan. HURRICANE Here in New Y o rk it's warm and sultry, hardly any wind. But out at sea, the hurricane is moving northward - and is expected to brush the coast of C a pe Cod tonight. Earlier in the day, when the center of the storm was two hundred and seventy miles east of Norfolk, the circular winds were blowing with gusts up to a hundred and forty miles an hour, eut Cape Cod gets only the fringe - sixty mile• an hour gales. To the south of the hurricane, tragedy at sea, when an ore ship broke in two, and sank. Six lives known to be lost, eleven missing. 1111111 Only six were saved by rescue \f.22!i~ vessels.

Arizona - will be required to abstain from meat on Friday. This was ordered today by Archbisho F,dwin B,rne of Sante Fe, New Mexico.) But most of us will ask - hasn't Friday been fish day for all Catholics? ell, the answer goes back nearly a thousand years f~ime or the F1r11.t Crusade) Pope Urban the Second issued a special dispensation to the Crusaders - Friday need not be a fish day for them. Going off to war against the infidel, they could eat meat on Friday. some centuries later, that same dispensation was extended to subjects of the King of Spain, nd was taken ov r L4 to the New orld by the Spanish explorers. They carried it all the way to what 1s now the southw~stern part of the United state~_ where the dispensation has been in effect ever sine·) • • 1 FRI N w the A rchbi s ho p of .:;a nt a F e revoke s lt , a n d calls upo n 11 th e p e o pl in h i s dioces e to ob s erve Friday in the usu a l way - Ftsh Day.

Today Mr. and Mrs. Clark Gable exchanged salvos of verbal cannon fire -- all on the subject of the .Ai.mighty dollar. The movie idol explains why he has filed for a qaick Nevada divorce. "No agreement could be reached on Mra.Gable 1 a anreasonable and exorbitant de11&nd," says he. Which drew a quick retort from the side of the tonier Lady Sylvia Ashley, once married to Douglas Fairbanlm. She wants aliaony, and her lawyer says: "His offer has been rid1cu1'111 and niggardly," It looks as if they,l,re going to battle 1t out in i court, promising a Hollywood super-colossal production -- •rriage and money. { No w we c a n hea ve - a b ase ba l l si g h of re l ief.
