LeESplie ihe SOgßy going, the ad
vance was so rapid engineers had
a hard time keeping up with the
infantrymen,
Forty-two Chinese didn’t bother
to retreat. They surrendered,
A front line officer estimated
Red casualties in the ten day of
fensive would exceed 15,000.
Ground Action
Ground action quieted all along
the front as liaison officers com
pleted arrangements for resuming
truce talks, but the air over North
west Korea flamed with six jet
battles.
Returning American pilots re
ported they probably destroyed
two Russian-type MIG-15 jets and
damaged another. The U. S. Fifth
Air Force said all American
planes returned safely. .
The two probables were report
ed after a 20-minute battle Mon-~
day afternoon between 35 Amer
ican F-86 Sabre jets and more than
50 MIGs. The damaged MIG was
hit in a fight between 20 MIGs and
nine F-84 Thunderjets.
A total of 182 Red jets were
involved in the six battles. Most
of the engagements were between
MIGs and Thunderjets or F-80
Shooting Stars after the Allies
raided Red rail lines.
The Navy reported the U. 8.
Cruiser Helena steamed to within
60 miles of the Soviet Siberian
frontier, blasting a 175-mile
stretch of rail lines with her eight
inch guns.
Kumsong Entered
A U. N. tank patrol entered
Kumsong, former Red strong-hold
briefly Saturday. Another patrol
pushed to within 600 yards of the
city Monday without finding a
single Chinese.
Allied infantrymen swept unop~
posed over a mass of fog shrouded
hills five to seven miles southeast
of the city.
Elsewhere along the front only
patrol actions were reported.
An Allied patrol ran into &
Communist nest nine miles north
west of Yonchon eon the western
front and fell back under heavy
Red fire. Two brief clashes broke
out seven miles west of Chorwon,
once the western apchor of the
iron triangle. Entrenched Reds
forced another U. N. patrol to
withdraw three miles north of
Kumhwa, eastern base of the old
triangle.
South Koreans forced Commu
nist North Koreans to withdraw
in three sharp actions along the
east coast.
Reds took advantage of rains
and fog which swept in over much
of Korea over the week-end to
step up their supply efforts.

SERVING ATHENS AND NORTHEAST CEORGIA OVER A CENTURY.
ATHENS, CA., MONDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1951,
The U. N. command said no
word had been received from the
Reds up to 2 p. m. Monday (6 a.
m. EST).
Brig. Gen. William P. Nuckols,
spokesman for the U. N. com
mand, said if Red approval is re
ceived tomorrow morning, delega
tions “may well agree on initiat
ing the sessions tomorrow after
noon.”
The two five-man negotiating
committees will meet in a faded
yellow tent at Panmunjom, mid
way between opposing front lines.
They will take up right where they
left off at Kaesong—on the ques
tion of where to create a demili
tarized zone for the armistice. The
Reds suspended the Kaesong talks
Aug. 23. They charged the Allies
bombed the Kaesong neutral zone
the day before but the Allies de
nied the charge.
U. N. and Communist liaison of
ficers completed their arrange
ments for renewal of negotiations
by signing an eight-point security
pact at 10:45 a. m. Monday.
Three hours and 20 minutes la
ter the U. N. ratification was
delivered to the Reds at Panmun
jom.
It called on the Communists to
renew truce talks “without fur
ther delay.”
The U. N. ratification was signed
by vice adm. C. Turner Joy, chief
U. N. delegate, He told North
Korean Lt. Gen. Nam 11, head of
the Red delegation, the Allied -ne
gotiating team was prepared to
meet with the Communists the
day after the Red reply was re
ceived. He set theehour !or%eet,-
ing at 11 a. m. o -
Joy's purpose in ratifying the
security agreement before talks
actually begin, and asking for the
Red endorsement in advance, was
to prevent a possible reopening of
discussion of the “ground rules”
by the Communists.
Joy's message enumerated the
items of the agreement signed.by
liaison officers as well as the
“mutual undertsandings” they
reached in 12 sessions at Panmun
jom.
The eight-point agreement pro=
vides for a demilitarized zone
with 1,000 yard radius at Pan
munjom, attack-free areas with a
three mile radius for the Reds’
headquarters at Kaesong and the
U. N. truce team at Munsan, and
a quarter mile corridor center on
the road linking Munsan, Panmun
jom and Kaesong.
It guarantees against hostile acts
against any of these zones, Both
delegations are provided free ac
cess to the conference site with
the head of each delegation de
ciding the size and composition
of his own party.
Hostile acts along the entire
front dwindled as possibility of
negotiating an end to the shooting
revived. The U. S. Bth Army's
Monday evening communique re
ported only patrol action except
on the central front around Kum=-
song. There, the communique
said Allied infantrymen “were ad
vancing against little enemy op
position.”
In preparation for renewed ne
gotiations, Reds removed the few
Korean families from the thaiched
roofed huts on Panmunjom.

Egypt Moving Toward
General Mobilization
BY FRED J. ZUSY
CAIRO, Oct. 22.—(AP) —Egypt—charging the British
act like they are “moving in to conquer a country”’—her
self moved today toward general mobilization on a war
footing.
The Egyptian protest was made public last night as Bri
tain guarded both ends of the Suez Canal with warships
and dispatched fresh troops to bolster her forces along the
104-mile east-west link.
Tomlinson Fort
Writes Textbook
A textbook on calculus written
by Dr. Tomlinson Fort hag just
been published by the D. C. Health
and Company.
Dr. Fort, Regents’ Professor of
Mathematics and Head of the De
partment of Mathematics at the
University of Geogia, states in his
preface that “he has endeavored
to present the subject of calculus
in a careful way, paying attention
to mthematical details at all
times.” The book abounds in
novel features and gives a new
approach to the teaching of cal
culus.
Dr. Fort, one of the country’s
most widely-known mathema
ticians, has been in his present
position with the University since
1945. He has been responsible for
inaugurating the University’s ad
vanced study in the tfield of Math
ematics leading to a Phd degree
in that field.
A graduate of the University of
Georgia, Dr. Fort holds the PhD
degree from Harvard. He came
to the University from Lehigh
University where he was Dean of
the Graduate School.

__A barbed wire barricade separates four
British soldiers, two in prone shooting

soldiers in the Suéz Canal Zone city of
Ismailia. T}?‘ls scene took Fiace'as Britain
further strengthened its forces in Egypt
Cairo newspapers reporied a
general mobilization order has
been approved by the Egyptian
Supreme Court. The next step
would be parliamentary approval,
providing also far establishment of
a high council of war.
The bill calls for a general ral
lying «* manpower for military
and industrial production and for
organization of eommunications.
Egyptian Note
The Egyptian note, originally
delivered last Thursday, demand
ed that British troops “evacuate
all places they have occupied un
rightfully and without reason in
cities and other areas of the Suez
Canal Zone.”
The British have sealed off the
canal zone. They guard the two
entrances to it and control key
spots alohg the waterway.
The note also cited cases in
which British soldiers were ac
cused of “murder, cruelty and
robbery” and declared Egypt will
hold Britain responsible for any
“grave results.”
British officials acknowledged
last night that the 8,000-ton cruis
er Gambia is at Port Said, on the
Mediterranean end of the canal.
They declined, however, to talk
about two warships that arrived
from the Persian gulf last week at
the canal’s south end.
An Associated Press reporter in
the canal zone saw two British
destroyers there Saturday.
Two British Royal Air Force
~anti - aireraft squadrons -—— also
itrained as riflemen—were due by
‘plane from London to back up the
thousands of British troops on the
alert along the canal, An Egyp
tian government official said a
British transport brought fresh
troops to Suez yesterday.
King Farouk's government acted
last week to oust the British after]
the Egyptian Parliament abrogated
Egypt's treaties with Britain on
the canal and the cotton growing
Sudan.
The act set off bloody Egyptian
rioting last week in the Suer
Canal.
Violence also came to the Su
dan, where Egypt also wants to
kick the British out and end joint
rule. Sudanese police at Khar
toum used tear gas Saturday night
to break up an anti-British student
rally. Eleven were arrested, some
450 students, virtually the entire
studnt body of the University Col
lege at Khartoum, took part in the
demonstration.
Some Sudanese want union with
Egypt now, others are for inde
pendence. Britain says the Su
danese need more training before
they choose between union with
Egypt and independence.
The pro-government newspaper |
Al Misri reported today that the
Egyptian cabinet has decided to
close the offices of the Sudan
agency in Cairo and to order the
British Sudan agent, E. C. Hasel
den, to leave Cairo for Khartoum.
The report was not confirmed by
any other source.
The act would be in retaliation
to last week’s order by the British
governor-general of the Sudan,
Sir Robert Howe, barring two top'
Egyptian officials from the Su-i
dan,
and Egyptian troops carefully kept out of
range of British forces throughout most
of the canal zone. Both sides are taking |
part in joint efforts to quell civil disor
ders in Ismailia, — (AP. Wirephoto via

To Naming Of
Vafican E
WASHINGTON, Oct. 22—(AP)
—A wave of protest against Pres
ident Truman’s decision to enter
regular diplomatic relations with
the Vatican promised today to
touch off a heated battle when
Congress reconvenes.
There was little if any criticism
of the President's selection of Gen.
Mark Clark as ambassador to the
Roman Catholic church state. The
protests, some of thern from the
pulpit, were from protestants who
argued that the establishment of
diplomatic relations violates the
constitutional injunction that
church and state shall be separate.
The U. S. has never had a fu'l
ambassador at the Vatican, al
though Myron C. Taylor served
there as personal representative of
Presidents Roosevelt and Truman
from 1940 until Jast Jan, 18, when
he resigned.
| Saturday Announcement
Late Saturday Mr. Truman an
‘nounced that he had selected
Clark, an Episcopalian who now
is commander of Army field
forces, to be ambassador. A White
\House statement said the Presi
dent felt “the purposes of diplo
‘macy and humanitarianism will
be served” and added that direct
relations with the Vatican will
help coordinate a common fight
against Communism,
The White House statement
noted that 37 other nations main
tain diplomatic représentatives at
the Vatican. \
Urofficial comment from the
Vatican indicated delight at Mr,
Truman’s move. That was the re
action of Catholic churchmen in
this country. |
Francis Cardinal Spellman of
New York said the Vatican and“
the U. S. hold “identical cbjectives |
of peace.” i
The opposing view was express
ed by protestants all over the na
tion, starting with Dr. Edward H.
Pruden, Mr. Truman’s own pastor |
at the First Baptist church here. |
“l did my utmost to point out
the great dangers which seemed %o
me to lie"” in the President’s move,
he said in a sermon yesterday.
Pruden declined t> elaborate
when. a reporter asked whether
he meant he had talked to the
President abdut the matter. {

The fair will run until Saturday
night with judging of the varied
exhibits and entries going em imn

midway which will be going full
blast starting tonight,
Many Prizes
I Last year the Athens Fair As
sociation gave $5200 to the win
ners of the exhibits as recognition
of the work that they had done,
and this year the sum is probably
going to soar above that amount,
according to fair officials.
The Community Exhibite alone
will earn a total of $1955 in prize
money. First prize in that divison
will be S2OO.
Wheels of progress are evident
to even the casual on-looker in
the Community Building with
prize produce and products of
home and farm life being display
ed promlnentl% in setiings of ar
tistic perfect. The exhibits in that
division are orginal from every
view point. One community has
an elaborate exhibit bordered in
gold, featuring a vivid rainbow
filled sky and the proverbial pot
of gold, theme of the booth bezg
“Rainbow of Promise”, Golden
streamers tie in the various aspects
of community life with the school
~—“the heart of the commumity.”
Virtually over{ aspect of life in
the small rural community is de
picted, but overcrowding of the
exhibit has been avoided by dis
crete usage of various items and
choice of small objects for rep
resentative purposes. Sod from
the community itself covers the
farm portion of the booth, and
perfection models of handmade
work abounds on the side walis
of this booth.
Another of the exhibits porirays
an old-fashioned living room with
a glowing hearth and the harvest
crops displayed artistically in the
room. :
Exhibits
The Community Exhibits divi
sion of the Fair is divided into
separate competition for white and
