Flames reach Highway 80 in the La
guna Mountains east of San Diego, Calif.,
after raging for days and blackening
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 21—
(AP)-—At least 23 forest and bush
fires burned in timber-dry Cali
fornia over -the weekend
The largest blaze, raging in the
Cleveland National Forest east of
san Diego, burned over 56,000
acres of timber and scrub. Forest
ers estimated damage to vital wa
tershed lands at $3,000,000.
The fire spread to adjoining
Cuyamaca State Park and many
vacationers-had to be evacuated.
Four hundred sailors from San
Diego bases joined 850 other fire
fighters on the job. -
State forestry officials called for
100 prisoners from Folsom State
Penitentiary to help 300 men
battling California’s second larg
est blaze—a wind-swept grass fire
near the mother lode town of
Melones. The fire, 70 miles south
of Saeramerito, destroyed a score
of dwellings, some mine buildin
and & grammar school as it cregt
toward timber-lands of the lower
Sierra.
A third large fire burned 9,000
acres in eastern Fresno county on
the San Benito county line. It
was brought 95 per cent under
control by 250 firefighters.
Most of the other fires were re
latively small and controlled
quickly.
VFW Organizes
Service Squad
Organization of a memorial
service squad for the Korean war
dead is an immediate objective of
the Frank E. Mitchell post of the
Veterans of Foreign Wars here
William F. Avery, publicity direc
tor, disclosed today.
A recent Associated Press news
lispatch reporting the inability of
an army command to furnish
nilitary escort for a Korean vet
eran as requested by the soidier’s
nother prompted the VFW to
form such a squad for Athens, Mr.
Avery said.
To be composed of eight men,
the memorial service squad, uni
formed and equipped with rifles,
will be available on request for
the traditional graveside military
service, he explained.
“The VFW realizes the effect on
the civilian morale in the failure
of the military to furnish men for
military funerals, We wish to off«
set the demoralizing effect a little
by offering our services to the
public,” Mr. Avery stated.

American fighter bombers im

moved up to counter-attack.
The mountain is less than two

IN KOREAN CONFLICT
Time Drawing Close
For Russian Decision
y ELTON C. FAY
w A ihr{‘ Affairs Reporter
ASHINGTON, Aug. 21—(AP)
—What will Russia do when her
‘North Korean gatellite begins te
lose the war?
Reverses for the Red Korean
Army will force a decision hy the
Soviets on whether to meve open
ly into the Asiatic war or bide
their time for another day when
the stakes could be greater and
the odds better.
The time for Moscow’s decision
apparently is coming nearer.
The swift and long advance of
the North Korean Army has
ground down to at least a tem
porary halt. The build-up of
strength by American forces, with
more help from other United Na
tions members in the offing, is un
der way. An offensive to destroy
the Korean Red military force is
in prospect for the months just
ahead. And it is then Russia will
have to decide.
She will have to weigh the
possible effect on other nations
within the Soviet sphere of defe?t
for her Korean Communist state
against the risks of taking a di
rect hand in war with the United
States and United Nations.
Russia, for reasons of her own,
may conclude the time #® move
isn’t now but later when Ber mili
tary strength is even greater,
mean-while using the Korean git=
uation as material for her
pe-uliar propaganda technique.
Some ofiicials at high level in
e sinaton fineline |to the beliel
That it would pass was taken
for granted; the exact form of the
bill hung in the balance. .
Included in the measure in
tended to curb inflation are credit
restrictions and defense produc
tion features, plus authority . for
Mr. Truman to invoke wage-price
centrols and rationing at any time.
The House on Aug. 10 approved
a similar legislation overwhelm
ingly.
Predict Approval
In advance of Senate balloting
on a big stack of amendments and
then on the bill itself, administra
tion leaders predicted approval of
a measure acceptable to the Pres
ident.
;I‘Jluey forecast that the Senate
would beat down proposed changes
which Mt."Traman has said fall
in the category of “special privi
lege” amendments.
The CIO declared last night that
amendments of that type already
approved would cost consumers
billions of dollars and transform
the anti-inflation bill into one to
guarantee profits.
Pending amendments, the CIO
said, are even worse and would
make the bill “a fake and a fraud
upon the American people.”
Senate Democratic chiefs gave
their first attention to a pair of
administration-opposed moves to
write an anti-Communist program
into the economic controls bill.
Strategy Dealing
Booked ahead of the Senate ses
sion was a closed conference of all
Democratic senators to chart stra
tegy dealing with:
1. A rider amendment by Re
publican senators Mundt (S. D.)
and Ferguson (Mich.) which
would nail their Communist-con
trol bill inte the mobilization
measure.
2. Another internal security bill,
embracing the Mundi-Ferguson
program and other anti-subversive
features, which Senator McCarran
(D.-Nev.) said he might offer as
a substitute for the GOP plan.
Administration leaders hoped to
block approval of either plan with
a promise to the Democrats that

voke a world war until later,
when she is fully prepared,
The timetable they use in these
guesses varies considerably—from
two to five years.
The Soviets have an immense
Army — some estimates range
around 4,ooo,ooo—which is equip=
ped with superior tanks and ex=
cellent artillery. They have a
large tactical air force for support
of the ground army.
But the Russians may want
more time to improve and augment
weapons in the highly technical
category.
Stockpile Bombs
Another two or three years may
be needed for them to stockpile
a larger number of atomic bombs.
They have the begininng of a
long range bomber force for de
livery of the bombs, but may need
considerably more long range
bombardment aviation.
They have begun a huge ex
pansion of their submarine fleet.
Although the Russian undersea
flegt mfy number as many as 300
submarines, only a small portion
of that fleet it believed to be of
the modern high speed tfrpo,
equipped with snorkels for long
underwater eruises.
These estimates and hopes that
Russia may not be ready for war
now are predicated on- fevalua

tical intelligence system.
The danger is that the intelli
gence may be faulty, as it has been
on some past occasio‘:,s, .

Allies Yield
The Allies yielded to a tank-led

The *back of this most im

shells poured among enemy troops
by field artillery.
The other immediate threat ap

Chinju for a new offensive aimed
at Pusan, the main allied port on
the southeastern tip of the Penin

Losses Heavy
In fighting over the weekend
from tip to tip of the 120-mile

2,000 men in the south, 6,000 on
the central front and the balance

CALLED “"DEATH TRAPS”
Modern “Goldfish - Bowl™ Homes
Rapped By Atomic Age Planners
By WADE JONES
NEA Sfieclal Correspondent
WASHINGTON — (NEA)— The
glass-walled, goldfish-bowl type
of modern home construction takes
a shattering rap from atomic age
planners.
Because glass can be so deadly
when splintered by an explosion,
it should be employed “only to
the extent essential for the use of
the building,” says the writers of
“The Effects of Atomic Weapons,”
official Afomic Energy Commis
sion handbook.
Any easily displaced interior
fixtures, together with bricks and
other loose facings, are listed along
with glass as potentially deadly
missiles when shot through the air
by a bomb blast. |
The book contains a welcome
score or more of lifesaving hints
for home builders and buyers. |
Before listing some of these a
popular misconception should be
cleared up: '
Same Resistance |
American homes in general
would have about the same re-l
sistance to blast as did those in
Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Highly
qualified architects and engineers
arrived at this conclusion after ex
tensive surveys and despite the
popularly-held belief that Japa
nese homes are flimsy.
Generally speaking, a reinforced
concrete shell, well attached to a
iframe of either steel or reinforced
concrete, will give a maximum of
protection. ‘

U. S. 27TH REGIMENT, Korea,
Aug. 21—(AP)—American night=
flying planes guided by flares shot
from U. 8. artillery broke up a
Red Korean attempt to outflank
this crack infantry regiment in the
overnight darkness of Sundaye
Monday.
Perhaps for the first time in
any war, artillery weapons acted
as spotters for pilots. The big guns
guided planes to targets with a
flare-up of phosphorous shells
breaking the darkness.
The night raid was believed to
have broken the back of the enemy
flanking move 12 miles north of
Taegu City.
Tanks Hit
On the ground infantry beat
back an enemy ecounter-attack
during the night. This merning
a patrol found five enemy tanks
destroyed; two self-propelled guns,
a troop ecarrier, and three trucks
knocked out by artillery mortars
and rocket fire.
These action® stalled the ens
emy’s desperate effort to open a
drive into Taegu. s 5
The Red Army’s 15th, 13th and
3rd divisions were believed te
have engaged in the battle north
of Taegu. But the Red push was
held by the U. S. 27th (Welf
hound) regiment and by the First
South Korean Diviswon, werking
across mountaing and valleys.
The enemy succeeded yesterday
in getting two infantry battalions
around a mountain on the Woif

“Air did a great job,” Captain
