KOR EA - W AR Battlefront news tells Jf a n army of thirty thousand Chinese pouring into the g a p , wher e th e Kore a n R e ds have been shattered - on the east central front. Today the U.N.forces there were faced by fresh reinforcements, masses of Chinese pouring down the hills to check the break-through, and hold into back the U.N.drive_,..-which threatens to pour X"- the valley to the nort~where the Reds have their built-up area.TAmerican officers declare that prisoners captured today were "reluctant draftees" rather than the professional Chinese troops encountered hitherto. But, nevertheless, tho~e enemy reinforcements, art1v1ng hastily, are putting up a desperate fight - and, today, the U.N. advances were small, when there were any advances at all. lt remains to be seen how the strategies will develop - after the hasty h1ft of a Chinese army to block the ga, where the defense of the Korean Reds was broken. BRITAIN - GYPT The seriousness of Britain's new crisis is illustrated by the fact that~oreign Secretary Herbert M rrison, today, broke off election campaigning, and hurried back to London. There he is having high level consu1:f'at1ons - on Egypt. Morrison states that the move in Ciro to scrap the Anglo-Egyptian Treaty is - illegal. He declarEB that British troops will remain at the Suez C nal - and in the Sudan_ Thereby defying the new Egyptian threat - to eject the British from Suez,an~dan~e keJ to it all is, of course, that f8.JllDus canal - and today the British co•and there was ordered to cancel all leaves of absence for the troops on guard. In the Egyptian quarrel, Britain will stand fast, at least until an intemational agreement for the defense of the Near East has been concluded. From ctt1ro:- ta word that Egypt will turn down anta Western power defense plan that will leave British troops in the Suez Canal Zone. Egypt might agree to the stationing of a W stern Power Defense Command at the canal - but not foreign t:1"'nnnA _ BRITAIN - EGYPT - 2 uch was the word today, as crowds in ca1ro demonstrated in favor of the government announcement - calling for the British to be ousted. The demonstrations were orderly, with strong police guards protecting the British, .American and other foreign embassies. A crowd of three thousand gathered in front of the residence of the ca1ro Premier, and shouted - "Down with the Treaty!" The cry was virtually unaniJllous - the 1 aders of opposition political parties and all sections of the Egyptian press coming out in support of the anti-British move.~ FOL LO BR A I N -1 · -------------------- T e t i ... tem e r. t y t e Eg y p t ia n m assador t a s i n t on , b d 1 R m i n s a i d th a t hi !;O Vernm en t i s w i lin · t c o n s i de r n e p ro os al o r settin g t e A n 5 1 - E yp t ia n d is ute. d i lo m tic o inion is th a t E g yp t i s tryi to t a ke adv a nt a e of the Briti set-b a cks in the Iran e Oil dispute -- nd pre s sin g for concessions with ques tions on Suez and the Sudan ) A bulletin t on i 6h t tell f the rr e t o f Gus Fall, one of the convicted Com m uni t leaders w h o jumped bail, and fled.

For weeks, the President has ueen at odds with the Illinois Senator, about the appointment of two federal judges in Illinois. According to tradition, a Senator is supposed to have the say about such appointments in his state. The President did not agree, and made two These, appointments. 1'*"•x today, were turned down by the Senate, which gave unanimous backing to Douglas, in saa this matter of a Senator's privilege. SUBSTITU E BOWLES ----------------- The Senate has confirmed the nomination of Chester Bowles as Ambassador to India -- but only after a bitter wrangle. The Republicans, led by aft of O~io, criticised the appointment in - sc~thing terms. But, when all was said and don~the former Chief of OPA was ' • oonfiraed, forty-three to thirty-three, and becomes our Ambassador to fabulous Hindl.}9tan. BASEBALL I like the w ay a sports ·riter, now a nd then, sums up things in one btg mouthful. So here's what Carl Lundquist of the United Press writes tonight: "The Yankees turned the &iants• dream-world into a horrible nightmare today, with a thirteen-to-one massacre." Yes, that says it all. The fabulous rush of the New York Giants into the World Series, and the way they knocked the Yankees off in a couple of games - that was something for a dream-world. As for the nightmare today, the Giants took the next to the worst beating in the history of the World Series. Aaih,ttfst, 1ea11 211.••· 1 i fi £). 117 ZlifW IBlll\fl The worst shellacking of all was also administered by the Yankees - to the Giants. That was in the Series of Nineteen thirty-six, when the score was - eighteen to four. -;t~ Today, t I 11 t t I laga biz zsanlll• ,: the wonder• working rookie, Gil McDougal, who hit a grand slam homer. Which was the third homer, with the bases loaded - in seventy-five years of world S e ries history. The last one was in that same BASEBALL - 2 Nineteen thirty-six classic, that same game, when the Yankees handed the Giants that record-breaking defeat. In that massacre, Tony Lazerri, old Poosh-em-Up Tony of Yankee fame, hit a four run homer. To continue the ghastly details, little Phil Rizzuto -- ~ ~ - ~ rour bagger - like a midget striking a mighty blow. Joe DiMaggio drove in a few runs, the Giants made errors, e r · and thei I\. n ; ~were wild. All that adding up to the statement that - the Yankees turned the Giants• dream-world into a horrible nightmare t o d a y . ~ e Y ·n k e s , , . _ ~ hP d - hr e e r . .. ~ t o tw o .

SHIP From Longview, Washington, the story of a - hell ship. The literature of the sea is full of those tales of terror, the nightmare voyage of a sinister vessel with devilish doings aboard. This one tells of ferocious fighting, mayhem and murder. One-hundred-and,nine killed, aboard that infernal craft. - But it was a hell ship of - monkeys. Eight-hundred\ and-forty in cages. Monkeys procured on the tropical island - ~ of Cebu,~the Philippines - and intended for the National Foundation of Infantile Paralysis. Soon after the ship left Cebu, the battles began ln the cages of monkeys. "They Just seemed to like to fight," says Ship Captain J.W.Maitland, "and we couldn't do anything to stop them. They were almost human," he adds, "picking n individuals they didn't like." · so savage, they were almost I human.- the skipper sounds like a philosopher. He nu gives one detail to complete the weirdness SHIP - 2 of the nightmare. "The fighting," he says, "was ferocious, but it was carried on with little noise - night and day." The monkeys didn't chatter - it was murder in silence. One- hundred-and-nine killed aboard that - hell ship of monkeys. PRECEDE ELIZABETH -~-------------- - L ndon announces the cancel! tion of the tr·p of the ~in · a nd Queen to Austr1lia and New Zealand. Because of the illness of ing George, the sovereigns will not go. Instead their places will be taken by Princess Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh following their Canadian and American tour. Today French Canada aaid it -- •* with cheer,. T1n1 of thousands of people were ja ■ aed in dea1e crowds along the ■ ilea ot Quebec 1treets -- hailing the royal •iaitors, as they toured the old capital of rrench Canada. ,,,,,.. ELIZABETH 71 I ~l so wondrous, it takes rather special words to describe it. So the United P resa assigned a girl reporter, the idea being that the heiress V , h I to the British crown is a headline fo~~•~ oman•s page. So Elizabeth Toomey notes the more (eminine and sentimental aspects of the Quebec reception. Her story begins aa follows: "Princess Elizabeth · made a little slip in public today, and got the same kind or indulgent smile from the Prince as you'd expect from any hllsband." The faux pas was made - when, at a City Hall reception, the Princess got out of the wrong side of the royal a&1tomobtle. Which gave Prince Philip an awkWard m011ent. "He stepped out, " relates the girl reporter, "and t&1rned back for P rincess Elizabeth, only to see her stepping out or the other door into the street. While she walked around behi the car to get to the greeters, her husband smiled indulgently. ,. ·_c. . I Well, what"PJ 1 i '\expect him to do at the royal reception in Quebec? But the girl re p orter interprets it ■ ore charmingly. •so far,• she writes,• there ha•• been several example• of the aaazihg way Prine••• Eli1abeth managea to coabine the atatelineaa of a future queen with the aodeaty of a devoted wife.• Bo• could any ■ere male expre11 it like that?
