Two other reser: voirs are south of the Yalu River, wholly in North Korea territory, and about 20 miles north of the present U. N. front. It was about the time U. N. troops approached these reservoirs that Chinese troops crossed the border possible way these power projects can be operated is under some form of United Nations control, since they are located in and sup- ply power to two countries. Behind the Iron Curtain Scientist Escapes—Bruno Ponte- corvo, the Italian-born British atom scientist, had the full cooperation of the OGPU in esgaping behind the Iron Curtain sins, he said would expect the President to get under the desk, but he was planning to reverse things and attack the attacker— just as Andrew Jackson did when attacked in the halls of Congress . . . When last week's shooting started, Mrs. Truman rushed into) the President’s bedroom where he was napping, to tell him a Secret Service man was lying wounded on the street. Actually she mistook assassin Collazo for a plain-clothes man . . . One Secret Service man was in front of Blair House at the time of the shooting, the others were in the rear eating lunch. The White House police, which bore the brunt of the attack, are under the Secret Service . . . The Secret Service have been un- der some criticism in recent years for having become partially poli- tical. Maj. Gen. Harry Vaughan intervened .in the early days of the Truman administration, fired Mike Reilly, who operated under Roosevelt, and gave the impression he wanted to run the service. This would not have been tolerated in the old days of Chief William Moran . . . Later, during the Sen- ate five-percenter probe, Reilly was hastily rehired and given a $10,000 job in the Interior Department. (He knew too much about how the Secret Service gave a special pass to Vaughan's friend, John Mara- gon, and about other political wire- pulling.) Despite occasional politics, however, the Secret Service does a good job. Marines’ Birthday Tomorrow, Nov. 10, happens to be the Marine Corps’ 175th birth- day. That's a lot of years—and glorious years—to have been fight- ing for the country. be a good idea for radio stations across the nation to play an oc- casional reminder of the Marine Lorp’s stirring hymn in commemo- ration of a great birthday. Problem For U. The North Korean-Manchurian area is an ideal one for United Nations cooperation—if. Moscow would permit it. Reason is that the Japs, which once controlled both Korea and Manchuria, devel- oped power and industry regardless of international boundaries, just as Grand Coulee and Bonneville Dams serve several states, regardless boundaries . . . Seven major dams are reported on the Yalu River between Manchuria and North Ko- rea. The Suiho Dam, one of the largest in the world, is 328 feet high, 2,788 feet long, has a reser- voir 40 miles long and delivers of 700,000 kilowatts of power . .. an- other dam, Mamposhin, delivers 234,000 killowatts and will oper- ate industries as far south as Port Arthur at the southernmost tip of So it might= drove his car to Copenhagen and left it there while he and his fam. ily took the North Express to Stockholm. From Stockholm they flew by plane to Helsinki, The Russian freighter Beloostrov had been scheduled to sail at 10:40 a.m. September 5. It waited until 5 p.m. and sailed the minute the Ponte- corvo family was on board. Red Army Chiefs Meet—The Am- erican legation reports that a mys- terious meeting of eastern Europ- ean Communist bosses is now go- ing on at the Russian resort town of Sochi in the Crimea. This is Prime Minister Stalin's favorite hideaway and it's believed he may be present., A number of Polish and Rumanian generals are known to be present and American diplo- mats believe the subject being dis- cussed is how to bring greater co- ordination between the satellite armies. Tension In Iran—U. S. Ambas- sador Grady has cabled from Teheran that the Russian radio across the border in Azerbaljan is warning Iranians to get ready to welcome a Russian army. The broadeasts—which continue round- the-clock—no longer say “If the Russian army enters Iran,” but “When the Russian army enters Iran.” , .. Meanwhile the Moscow diplomatic set has been buzzing about the way all Soviet big-wigs turned out for a party at the Iranian Embassy a week ago. Soviet Tanks—The U. S. Army in Germany has reported to the Pen- tagon that Russia’s tanks and ar- tillery and even the firepower of her troops far surpass those of the United States. This report, based on detailed examination of Rus- sian weapons, says that the United States has no heavy tank that will compare with the Joseph Stalin III tank mounting a powerful 122 millimeter gun. Even more di turbing, the report says the fire- power of the Russian divisions of only 11,000 men is almost equal to the firepower of our much larger divisions of 18800 men SICK MAN AND BOAT | The motor vessel Alex S, a 3 foot troller, was towed burg last night by the 52-foot Coast Guard patrol boat, it was reported by Coast Guard headquarters here The vessel owned by Alex Stephen- disabled Dry Strait sen of Seattle was engine trouble in the mouth of the Stikine River and | Charles | Stephensen was taken ill. | Green was aboard, The distress was reported by duck hunt notified the Deputy U.
