The number of arrests was expected to reach 650 or 750. It was probable that abandoned war-time army barracks would be reopened to serve as temporary prisons. The government said the mop-up of Nationalists in the hills sur- rounding Jayuya, which the rebels seized Monday and held for a day, had been completed with the sur- render and capture of 200. The pris- oners were being brought to San Juan. San Juan, which had the appear- ance of a siege city following the revolt, began returning to normal.

General Kepner, is laying in a supply of warm clothing for a trip to the cold north, and the ear warmers are an item she wasn't able to find yesterday in a whirl- wind tour of Seattle shops. But she’s still looking. Mrs. Kepner has an accent as authentic as hominy grits and hoe cakes. “T just love your shops,” she said. “Everyone was so nice rushing the alterations and all. I got me some fleece-lined boots, wool slacks, sweaters and fur-lined gloves, and I'm still looking for the ear muffs and some wool hose.” After a tour of duty at Eglin Alr Force Base, Fla., Mrs. Kepner is a little afraid of the weather she'll encounter. “It's my first time to live out- side the United States.

Twenty-five years ago, Reuben Clark worked in the State Depart- ment, smoothed out many of Se- cretary Frank B. Kellogg's troubles, eventually became one of our best undersecretaries.

This rule, adopted in 1948, permits a pilot to use his own plane com- mercially if it is certified for no more than four passengers. The board has asked interested persons for comment by Dec. 5 on the proposed one-year extension. It said the results of the rule thus far “appear to be satisfactory” and few complaints have been received. But, it said, the pilot-owner rule should be considered again after a limited period in its relation to the other classes of air transport operators in !burned out the apartment of Mr,;M“ké- Seattle Banker To Be Manager, Fai@nks Bank FAIRBANKS, Alaska, Nov. 3—® —E.

VIOLENT EARTH SHOCKS REPORTED OVER WIDE AREA ABy The Associated Press) Violent earth ‘shocks felt over a wide area of the Orient yesterday indicated an earthquake of major proportions has struck an area of the East Indies, possibly somewhere in the vicinity of Timor. Shocks were reported from points as far apart as Darwin, Australis and Hwa-Lien, Formosa, aboui 2,- 400 miles away. The Riverview Observatory at Sydney placed the center of the disturbances 2,300 miles northeast of Sydney in the Banda Sea area This would be in the vicinity of Timor, in Indonesia. The force of the shocks damaged seismographs at Jakarta, Indonesia central meteorological observatory. The observatory said the 'readings were thus inadequate but indica- tions were that the center of the quake was in the neighborhood of New Guinea. 5 About B00 miles separates New Guinea and Timor in the Indies Between the two is Amboina, scenc of a violent earthquake and Seis- mic, or tidal, wave on Oct. 8. The shocks in Darwin shook buildings in the city and elsewhere in northern Australia, but no ser- lous damage was reported.

KOREA Furious Communist Count- eraffack-Situation Is "Very Serious” (By the Associated Press) US. pilots today reported troops in Chinese Manchuria are pushing toward North Korea, where United Nations forces are reeling back in virtually every sector from a furious OGommunist counterattack. Allied reinforcements have been rushed to the flaming borderland. Two American regiments have been surrounded, trapped by the com- bined North Korean and Chinese forces now attacking in great strength on the northwest front. US. Efghth Army headquarters called the situation “very serious.” The U.S. 24th Division, which had reached to within 15 miles of the Manchurian border, was forced to withdraw 50 road miles to Chong-Ju to avoid encirclement. Fight Savagely The heaviest fighting was in the Unsan area. The Reds, using 82mm rockets, 76mm howitzers and re- coiless weapons not previously en- countered by the Allies, fought sav- agely. . Gen. MacArthur's intelligence spokesman: characterized the battle in the Unsan-Onjong area as a large scale defensive action and not a counter-offensive. He said United Natlons forces still retain the initi- ative in North Korea as a whole, The sharp Red attacks endangered the right flank of British common- wealth forces, however, and they, too, were forced to fall back.
