11 Revolt
By Chinese
By The Associated Press
War-sick China celebrated today
he anniversary of its 1911 revolt
\gainst the Imperial Manchus with
jragon dances and fire-crackers.
\cross the world, in France, the
lipping Nationalist government
uffered another setback.
mhe entire staff of the Nation-
Jist Chinese Embassy and Con
ulate General in Paris forsook the
jovernment cause and declared it
elf in favor of Mao Tze-Tung's
ew Communist regime set up in
s%eiping last week.

H'Wl;lie Communism was demon=
strating in China that nothing suc
eeds like success, the Democra
sjes scored a reassuring victory in
Europe. The Hllti-Red Austrian
,overnment of Chancellor Leopold
Figl emerged from week-end Par
iamentary elections still securely
in power.
His coalition, composed of the
Jocialists and the Conservative
eople’s party, held its position as
iustria’s largest party, winning
144 seats in the 165 member lower
House. Of these, Figl's People’s
Party toek T 7. The Communists
upped their four places to five
Chancellor Figl, surveying the
results, declared the election gave
#clear and unmistabable proof that
Austria is an outpost of the West
ern Democratic World.”
With the Austrian election over,
Europe turned toward Norway
where another was being held to
day. Labor’s scant majority in the
Norwegian Storting (parliament)
was on the block as voters filed to
the polls.
Some observers thought state
planning and rationing might com
bine to eliminate Labor Prime
Minister Einar Gerhardsen’s lead
of 76 seats to the combined oppo
sition’s 74.
Though it loses its parliament
ary majority, labor is still ex
pected to lead the country because
of sharp cleavages in the opposi
tion.

UNSEASONABLY WARM
Tornadoes, Heavy
Rains Sweep Nation
i By The Associated Press
l Tornadoes roared and moaned over the great plains
iast night, killing one person and injuring four others.
’ From the Dakotas southward into Oklahoma and
: Texas, the clouds unloaded their moisture in thunder
i storms. The bayous around Houston, though, were getting
l back to normal as flood waters receded.
But the weatherman used his
trite but happy official phrase for
the weather condition over eastern,
southern and central U. S. He said:
“Unseasonably warm tempera
tures continue.”
In the western states, the ther
mometer readers were cool, as
were the readings.
In a suburb of Lincoln, Nebr., a
Sunday punch tornado dipped to
earth and leveled a house. Mrs.
Stella Morris, 78, was killed. Two
others in the house were treated
for injuries.
The whirling funnel of wind had
scythed a path 12 miles long across
the Nebraska countryside before it
made its deadly strike. In its
wake it left a tangle of communi
cation and power lines.
The damaging winds hop-skip
and-jumped over Oklahoma. One
woman was injured at Slapout,
Okla., a small farm community 50
miles northwest of Woodward.
Two houses and a filling station
were damaged. A twister fingered
down near Rosston, and damaged
a home on the outskirts of La
verne in Harper county.
In Russell, Kans., a small torna
do ignored the outskirts—it lashed
down main street. One woman
was critically injured, but on the
edge of town 500 farmers danced
on at a V. F. W. hall as the winds
by-passed them.
The whirling gales smashed at
Hutchinson in Central Kansas, and
took a swipe at Kansas City, Mo.,
where the roof flew off one house.
In Houston, Tex., many persons
who ran away from high waters
Friday and Saturday returned
home.
Downpours had sent the Bayou
waters over the banks. The water
level was normal in all except two
sections Sunday. In one of the
areas—Mount Houston—the wat
ers were still feet deep in some
houses.
The improved weather situation
in Idaho permitted hunters to
bush whack their way back into
the game country. A snow storm
in the mountains last week tem
porarily marooned hundreds. One
hunter was dead and one missing.
Searchers were looking for Ed

Air Force Ready To Give
Support To Army And Navy
ELGIN AIR BASE, Fla., Oct, 10.—(AP)—Major Gen
eral Robert M. Lee said today the Air Force is ready to
give close support to the Army and Navy whenever
called. ‘
Lee is commander of the Tactical Air Command, which
would do the job. He told newsmen assembled for a dem
onstration of methods and equipment in a mythical war,
“we believe we have the best equipment available for the
suppoltjob.” - .. -wo :
A quick show of what the Air
Force, Army and Navy cando in &
combined operation was set up for
the benefit of some &,000 young
officers and observers as part of
of an air indoctrination course.
The story is written around
Alpha— ‘iie three American ser=
vices — coming to the &id of Beta,
a small nation in whose remote
areas Gamma, a hypothetical ag~
gressor, has established bases. Un
less something happens to the
script, Alpha will knock the tar
out of Gamma in a noisy but brief
encounter tomorrow.
Lee opened his comment with
an explanation that the air force
wants to emphasize its vital inter
est in the tactical air picture, or
close support operatinns, despite
reports to the contrary.
The show, which is being re
peated five times for various stu
dent groups will be used not only
to teach young officers the job,
but also to test new techniques and
equipment and to improve them,
Lee said.
This is the first all-jet combat
demonstration of its kind so far as
the air force is concerned. There
will be F-84 thunderjets and figh
ter-bomber roles, B-45 Tornadoes
in close support light bomber op
eration, and RF-80 Shooting Stars.
for reconnaissance work. The
navy will use FBF Bearcats, pro=-
peller fightere, and the army wiil
use C-82 packet troop carriers and
L-14 liaison planes. Some 4,000
officers and men and rmore than
200 planes will participate.
Gen. Lee said the I'-84 in use
now is the “best fighter-bomber
that can be put in the hands of
the pilots.” However, he said, the
tactical air command is looking to
improvements in the light bomber
field.
Lee said the 8~50 Superfortress,
muscular brother of the B-29, may
be adapted to close support work,
but an effort will be nade to put
all jets into service, he added, to
“find out how to use them instead

NAVY RENEWS EFFORTS
T 0 'SHOOT DOWN'B-36
House Probers Told Radar
Can Trace Rockets To Moon
WASHINGTON, Oct. 10,—(AP)-—A Navy electronic
expert told House investigators today that radar can track
rockets and reach the moon, so it certainly can stop a big
high-flying bomber like the Air Force B-36. g
Lt. Commander E. W, Harrison continued before the
House Armed Services Committee the Navy’s attack on
’%‘he giant, six-engine bomber that is the pride of the Air
orce.
Admiral Arthur W. Radford led
off for the navy last week with a
contention that the B-36 construc
tion program must be labeled a
“billion dollar Llunder”’ unless the
plane can, as the air force con
tends, carry out bombing missions
without deteetion and heavyloss~
es. Radford said the claims are not
true.
Now other navy men are giving
supporting testimony on the gen
eral theme that too much of limi
ted defense funds are going into
the B-36 and too-little into naval
aviation.
Harrison, who is attached to the
electronics divisions of the Bu
reau of Aeronautics, told the com~
mittee:
“We have, and tan expect any
potential enemy to have, radar
equipment and interceptor aircraft
capable of detecting, intercepting
and bringing about the destruction
of large, very heavy bombers re
gardless of how much they fly.”
Deep Concern
Members of the committee have
indicated deep concern over re=-
ports that Secretary o¢f Defense
Louis Johnson plans further cuts
in spending for the navy and its
air arm.
Rep. Bates (R-Mass) urged that
Johnson be called before the com
mittee and asked to give his de=
Plans For DAY
Meet Prepared
Plans will be made tonight by
the local chapter of the D. A. V,
for the state-wide convention sche
duled to be held here next year.
W. W. Deßeaugrine, commander
of the local chapter of the Disabled
American Veterans, is calling a
meeting tonight at the V, F. W.
Club on Broad street at 8 o’clock,
at which time business toward the
state convention will begin.
About 400 members are expect
ed to attend the state affair in
1950, when the local Joe Brown
Conally Chapter No. Two will play
the roll of host.
H. L. Hargrove, of Atlanta and
state commander of the DAV, will
be present at the meeting tonight,

of Augusta, and other state offi
cials.
The state-wide convention will
be held in June of next year, but
the exact dates haven't been set.

Chairman Vinson said the “of

One Method
Harrison told the committee that
this country even has secret equip
ment that determines whether air
craft is friendly or enemy. Radar,
he said, is only one method for
locating and identifying planes.
At the end of the last war, Har
rison said, engineers had the
“know how” to build radar effec
tive against big, high-altitude
bombers. And this information is
in print, he sdid.
In view of Russia’s demonstrat
ed capabilities in other fields, plus
this published information and
facts on performance of high fly
ing bombers, the commander said,
she will be ready with “an ade
quate air defense system.”
Harrison said he knows of ra

have been made against small,

Just what the charges were

ATLANTA, Oct. 10.—(AP)—An aged couple’s chicken
money was safe today, but its lure had sent a negro and
the son of a prominent dentist to jail, the dentist, his attor

In jail on charges of armed robbery and robbery by
forec were Harold L. Holtzendorf, jr., 23, and Henry
Gary, 26, a negro.
Critically injured in an automo
