§%aake Volcano
In Philippi
By FRANK L. WHITE
MAHINOG, CAMIGUIN IS
LAND Philippines, Dec. 6 — (AP)
_ Flaming Hibok Hibok Volcano
hid its toll of dead today under
a smoking blanket of ash which
rained for the third successive day
on seven burned villages.
So far 209 bodies have been re
covered. Official estimates say 500
more probably are buried in a six
square mile area covered by lava
and voleanic ash.
It may be a week before total
casualties in Tuesday’s eruption
are known,
Poisonous fumes rising from
molten lava and red hot ash drove
search crews from the stricken
villages on the charred slopes of
Hibok Hibok.
Two new blasts shook the vol
cano Wednesday feeding the sul
phurous pall of smoke hanging
like an unbrella over the mountain.
They were the third and fourth
eruptions.
Searchers who approached the
buried villages said they, saw
<cores of burned bodies in the hot
hlanket of ashes. The victims had
been struck down by the volcano's
deadly rain as they fled.
(A ‘correspondent of the Philip
pine news Service on Camigun
Island said he saw dogs fighting
over burned bodies near one vil
liage.)
Ten thousand people crowded
into this little seaside town of 3,000
waiting for the Governor to decide
whether they could be evacuated
to nearby Mindanao Island.
Citizenry Flee ¥
(Phillippine News Service said,
10.000 of the Island’s 45,000 peo
ple already had fled.)
Refugees crowded into Mahinog
included almost the entire 7,000
population of Mambajao, largest
town on little Camiguin Island.
A Mambajao grade school teach
er, Sarah Ramauldo. described
their flight. She said terror drove
irem into Mindanao sea, where
they stood for hours waiting for
rescue.
Villagers had paid little atten
tion to a landslide on the slopes
of Hibok Hibok Monday. That was
common.
But Tuesday morning, while
Miss Romauldo was teaching her
third and fourth grades, ‘“there
was a loud noise like an explosion.
“We could see a huge cloud o!‘
smoke shooting up from the crater
with red flashes of flame streak
ine through it.
«The wind was blowing from the
south and the smake and a dark
cloud of ashes drifted our way.
In only a minute or two a fine rain
as ashes began to fall.
“But we could tell that the worst
part of the ashes were falling only
as close ag about two kilometers
from Mambajao.”
That was a. little over a mile
away. So the townsfolk went to
work helping those in the stricken
area while lava boiled over the
crater rim, and flaming ash burned
trees on the mountain slopes.
At 7 o’clock that night the Vol
cano erupted again, blasting open
a new vent. The volcano, in the
center of the 13-mile long island,
blazed so brightly it lit up Mam
baiao on the north coast. Then
came the terror.
“We could see ashes, rocks and
lava being shot out of the new
hole amidst flames,” Miss Romaul
do said. “Hot ashes began to fall
on Mambajao.
Rush To Water
“Almost everybody rushed into
the water where we stood and
gazed back at the awful sight.
“lava began to run down the
slopes, glowing fiery red. Explos
ions threw up rocks from the sur
face. Flames flared high along the
edge of the lava flow as trees were
enculfed.
“Then the smoke and clouds
shut out the view. But we still
could see a red glow.”
A powdery rain of fine ash fell
on the townsfolk as they stood in
the water, Thousands waited there
for hours, watching the volecano,
until trucks and buses evacuated
them to Mahinog, on the southeast
coast.
Soldiers moved into the desert
ed town.
Seven small villages were pelted
with a deadly hail of hot ashes—
Panasan, Payahan, Anoling, Sad
pan, Tibucas, Kabuhi and Mau-~
can. g
A great yellow curtain of smoke
and fumes poured out of the crater
and hung over the northern end of
the island. It was still there today.
Down the northern slopes of
Hibok Hibok, a huge mass of lava
flowed slowly toward the low
lands. It seared and covered every

Consolidation Of
County Offices
|s Meefing Topic
Part of a story written for
Wednesday’s Banner-Herald, giv
ing complete coverage of the Open
Meeting held in the courthouse
Tuesday night to discuss advisa
bility of consolidating the offices
of County Tax Collector and
County Tax Receiver, was inad
vertently omitted, and an incom
plete account of the meeting pub
lished. ;
Following is the remainder of
the story written for Wednesday
and inadvertently omitted:
Attorney Ed Fortson stated
briefly the legal mechanics nec
essary to bring about consolidation
of the offices here in the event
the people decide such action ad
visable. Mr. Fortson, speaking ob
jectively, stated initially that he
would speak neither as an advo
cate of nor an opponent of considi
dation. o i
Commends Incumbents
Hubert M. Rylee, local aw
addressed the meeting, Mr. Ry
said that while he had not been
asked to speak, he wished to voice
his opinion that Clarke County
is being well and efficiently served
by the present Tax Collector, Miss
Ida Davison, and the present Tax
Receiver, P. J. Smith and that he
did not think the county would be
benefitted by a change. Mr. Rylee
pointed out that Miss Davison is
well grounded in the duties of the
office of Tax Collector, having
served in the office with her fa
ther, the late A. E. Davison, who
was Tax Collector for many years.
He also said that Tax Receiver
Smith, in addition to being an at
torney, formerly served as Tax
Receiver in an adjoining county.
His remarks were received with
a burst of applause by the audi
ence.
Following some discussion as to
whether there is a man in the
county who could qualify for the
position of tax commissioner if the
consolidation were carried out, a
tax payer in the front of the room
argued, “We want a county man
to run it. If the people of Clarke
County have to bring in an out
sider then the people of Clarke
Cou{}’ty don’t want the consolida=
tion!
Presiding officer, Attorney Car=
lisle Cobb quoted the law stating
that such an officer would have
to be a county resident for two
years.
Wants Voters Ideas
Legislator Grady Pittard said
that he would not introduce or
support any bill unless #t took the
form of a referendum. “I want
to know,” he said, “what the other
14,900 and something voters in
the county think of the idea.”
He added that this is the most
opportune time for a decision so
that the bill could be introduced
in the legislature this session.
“If the League of Women Voters
will draw up a bill stating the
salary, and pay for the expense
of advertising it before the re
ferendum, then I'll be glad to co
operate by introducing it into the
House,” said state legislator Grady

Allied Trucemen
Set New 8-Point
Supe isory Plan
By ROBERT B. TUCKMAN
MUNSAN, Korea, Dec. 6—(AP)
The Allies today agreed to go
along with a Communist demand
that only specified points be sub
ject to inspection during a Korean
armistice.
The econcession was part of a
new U, N. eight-point plan for
solving the bitter dispute over
policing an armistice.
While Allied truce negotiators
abandoned their demand for un
restricted behind-the-lines inspec
tions, they insisted that the checks
be made by joint Allied-Red
teams.
The Reds reacted immediately—
and unfavorably — to the Allied
proposal, said a U, N. spokesman,
Lt. Col Howard Levie.
The Communists want all in
spections made by representatives
of neutral nations, The U. N.
command has not formally re
jected this idea.
Levie said the Communist dele
gates repeated their old argument
that the use of joint inspection
teams would interfere with the in
ternal affairs of the North Korean
people.
Levie emphasized, however, that
Allied negotiators did not regard
the Red reaction as a rejection of
the eight-point program. He said
the Communists probably will
have more to say when the dele
gates meet again in Panmunjom
at 11 a. m. Friday (9 p. m. EST
Thursday).
Levie Prediction
Levie predicted the Communists
would offer a new or revised plan.
The Communists conceded one
point in Thursday’s 2% hour ses
sion of the two-man subcommit
tees.
They agreed for the first time to
take up point by point the pro
grams each side has presented for
supervising an armistice. Previ
ously, they had insisted on dis
cussing each plan as a whole.
The U. N. command commu
nique said “the discussions which
followed resulted in the reaching
of understandings on only a few
points.”
The eight-point Allied plan pro
vides that:
1, All hostilities cease within 24
hours after the armistice becomes
effective.
2. Both sides withdraw .troops
from the 2% mile wide buffer
zone within 72 hours, leaving only
poliee units.
3. A military armistice commis
sion named by military command
ers be responsible for supervision
of the armistice.
4. The commission have author=-
ity to check at ground, sea and air
ports of entry and communication
centers throughout Korea. Mem
bers of the commission have free
dom of movement over all princi
pal lines of communication. The
commission also be responsible
for aerial obsetvation and rphoto
reconnaissance. i
5. Neither side increase the
strength of its forces, equipment,
military facilities or materiel.
6. Within 72 hours after the ar
mistice goes into effect each side
withdraw ground, sea and air
forces from territory controlled by
the other side.
Administration
7. Each side be responsible for
administering half of the buffer
zone on its side of the demarcation
line.
8. The armistice not become ef
fective until the military com
mission is organized, staffed and
ready to begin operations.
The Communists previously
have objected strongly to pro
viisions of points three, four and
five.
They insisted on inspection by
neutrals rather than Allied-Com
munist teams. They wanted in
spections limited to specified ports
of entry, but have shied away
from defining what they mean.
The Reds also have indicated they
would not approve aerial and
photo reconnaissance. The Com
munists would ban rotation of
troops or replacement of equip
ment and ammunition. The Allies
seek only to limit the strength of
armed forces.
U. N. Election
Said Deadlocked
PARIS, Dec. 6 —(AP)— Hope
lessly deadlocked between White
Russia and American - backed
Greece, the United Nations Gen
eral Assembly today temporarily
postponed the election of an lith
member of the Security Council.
Earlier Chile and Pakistan were
elected to fill two of the three va
cancies, almost without opposition.
After eight inconclusive ballots
failed to give either the Russian
or American candidates ‘he re
quired two-thirds majority for the
third seat., the Assembly decided
to wait before continuing its vot=-
ing.
The delay was intended to give
the opposing factions time to try
to line up support which could
give victory to one or the other in
the later balloting.
The United States, in weeks of
political maneuvering here, has
sought te line up the delegates in
favor of Greece, North Atlantic
treaty partner which could be ex~
pected to vote with the West on
critical issues.
Rusisa has vehemently insisted
that—according to a 1946 “gentle
mens’ agreement”—the seat should
20 to one of the Soviet-blde Slav
states and that White Russia un
der this bargain was entitled to it.

Delivery Of New
Phone Books Set
Approximately 10,000 new tele
phone directories will be delivered
to homes and businesses in the
Athens area beginning Monday,
December 16, 1951, according to
an announcenrent made today by
W. O. McDowell, District Mana
ger,
“The large increase in the num
ber of directories being delivered
this year, as compared to the
number delivered during 1950 is
indicative of the growth of Athens
and surrounding communities,”
Mr. McDowell said. .
The new -telephone directory
contains many new and changed
listings, as well as other helpful
telephone information, and a suf
ficient quantity of the new direc
tories has been printed to supply
every telephone subscriber and to
allow for future telephone ex
pansion, ¢
The Classified section — yellow
pages — contains listings for bus
iness telephone subscribers under
headings aiphabetized according to
their businesses or professions.
“The variety of classifications de
scribing preducts, services, profes
sions and businesses provides a
convenient ready reference guide
when you want to locate a firm
or individual,” Mr. McDowell
pointed out.
He requests that the old direc
tory be discarded and that the
new directory be referred to when
telephone numbers are desired.
Looking up the desired numbers
helps to avoid the possibility of
getting wrong numbers and saves
time for both the calling and call
ed person. “Information” should
be called only when the number
you are seeking is not listed in
the directory. ;

damaged. The Air Foree
said no Allied planes were
hit.
Pilots who hit Red artillery said
they destroyed 83 guns om fthe
western front.
This would be the equivalent of
more than a whole Red artillery
regiment’s guns. Many others
were damaged.
Red guns have been harassing
U. N. infantry since the twilight
war began Nov. 28,
“After today,” an Air Force
briefing officer said, “there is
every indication that our <lose
support should substantially re
duce the mortar and artillery fire
lbeing received by U, N. forces in
this sector.”
The briefing officer, Maj. C. F.
Brown of Tampa, Fla., said photo
planes pinpointed the big Com
munist guns in the last few @ays.

Allies have mounted to a at~
tack since ground action died
down last month.

In Central Korea two Red pla
toons drove Allied troops from an

Kumsong, before daylight. The
U. N. infantrymen got it back in

In 11 days of jet battles over
North Korea, the Air Force reports

Another 60 MIGs were

pilots said they were “not wery
aggressive.”
Far to the south of the guiet
front lines, Red guerrillas eaught
South Korean troops in a sneak
