J.,.Nov. 20— —Ernest Ingenito, dark-haired eppliance salesman who killed five persons and wounded' four in a avage effort to wipe out his es- tranged wife’'s family, ended today the hunger strike he began Satur- day in a prison cell. Warden William Mollineaux of the Gloucester County prison said Iny®nito, 26, at breakfast this merning and appeared in a “very geod mood.” Ingenito, steadily chain-smoking igarets, was talking freely with guards, but has not discussed the killings, the warden said. He is a World War II veteran. The prisoner had refused food since he was jailed after the 20- minute massacre Friday night. The strike, however, had not endangered his health, Mollineaux said, and Ingenito has made no fur- ther suicide attempts.

CHINA REDS INKOREA ON OCTOBER 20 By RELMAN MORIN TOKYO, Nov. 20—(P—General MacArthur's headquarters said to- day the Chinese Conmmunist 38th Army crossed from Manchuria into Korea Oct. 20. That same day, American para- troopers jumped 23 miles north of the captured Red Korean capital, Pyongyang, and MacArthur pro- claimed: “The war is very definitely coming to an end.” An intelligence spokesman said the time of the Red crossing indi- cates the Communists’ decision to commit Chinese troops was made | about Oct. 1, when U.N. forces were approaching the parallel 38 boun- dary betwgen South and North Korea. the Chinese Red 38th Army was churia.

BLACKOUT IN BOSTON BOSTON, Nov. 20 — P — Souill powerful wires got crossed last night and that caused the big Boston blackout. A power failure darkened much of the hub in a hit-and-miss pat- line, Cambridge and Belmont for about an hour. An estimated million persons were variously affected by the sud- den gloomy Sunday but police re- ported no major harm done. Most hospitals switched imme- diately to emergency generators. Both Boston television stations were out during the eclipse and radio :stations, newspapers and news wire services were affected. John Ahern, vice president of the New England electric system, said the blackout came because a wrong switch was thrown in a station at Pratt’s Junction, 50 miles northwest of Boston. He said that opened high tension lines which overloaded lines of the Boston Edison Company system. SOCIALISTS CLAIM ELECTION VICTORY; “NO GERMAN ARMY FRANKFURT, Germany, Nov. 20 —{(M—West German Socialists — fierce opponents of the creation of a new German army to bolster western defense—won a thumping weekend election victory in the American occupation zone.

The border | town of Hyesanjin appeared within easy reach of the tank-led column. Elsewhere on the wintry front United Nations forces made steady gains against a foe which appears to be withdrawing cautiously to build up stronger defenses against a mountain backdrop. In north central Korea, U.S. Ma- rines advanced two miles on the east short of the vast Changjin reservoir that feeds hydroelectric plants in both Korea and Chinese | Manchuria. Beat Off Commies i The ROK (Republic of Korea) Capital Division continued its drive to the northeast towards the Soviet Siberian border. U.S. air support and the guns of the cruiser St. Paul helped the division’s right flank make a 16-mile advance be- yond Mpyongchon. The left flank beat off a Communist counterattack {nine miles outside Myongchon.

But Communists, fearful of American armor, jumped from their | foxholes and disclosed their am- bush. Chinese Communist prisoners have told Allied intelligence officers they were unused to meeting such heavy fire power nor low strafing. They said their morale had been high until they came head on with U.N. forces Nov. 5.

The agreements were reached yesterday in New York and Detroit, where Federal mediators had been seeking peace in the pay and con- tract dispute. The big break came here at the end of a 25-hour marathon barg- aing session between Bell's West- ern Electric Co., and Division 6 of the CIO Communications Work- ers of America (CWA), repre- 11,00 equipment install- ers. Within a few hours, parallel set- tlements were announced here be- tween Western Electric and 5,000 Maintenance and Warehousemen in Division 18; in Detroit between the Michigan Bell Telephone Co., and 17,000 members of CWA Division 15; and in Haverhill, Mass., be- tween Western Electric and 700 Division 68 plant workers. The companies both are subsid- iaries of the American Telephone and Telegraph Co., the parent Bell corporation, .y AT and T sald that aslde from some local interruptions, it main- tained nedrly normal .service all through the strike. i The union claimed a strike vic- tory. The companies called the set- tlements “fair"—although “costly” in the Michigan dispute. In the compromise, both sides actually receded from their hard-and-fast strike positions. In the key Western Electric dis- pute, the union had demanded a 15-cent hourly raise, but accepted a series of increases from nine to 14 cents. These averaged, by company figures, 113 cents—or slightly better than Western El- ectric’s last offer of 11 1-4 cents. Previous wages averaged from $1.55 to $1.62 an hour.

VISION, Korea, Nov. 20—(»—Brit- ish | Royal Marine Commandos joined American Leathernecks to- day for unified ground operations in northeast Korea. “I believe it is the first time we have fought together under a single command since the Boxer rebellion in Peiping in 1900,” said Capt. Ralph Parkingson-Cumine of Killough, North Ireland. ‘The British Marine unit made six ship-to-shore raids behind Com- munist lines before moving up by sea to join the American leather- necks. They will not go up to the frozen Changjin front for another few days. American Marines helped their new comrades move into winterized tents in a rest area. “You must think we can’t take it,” British Cpl. Derrek Toor of Gwin- sted, Sussex, said when U.S. Sgt. Charles Laport of Connellsville, Pa., began installing a stove in one tent. Laport laughingly replied: “We just want you to be comfortable while you can. We know Comman- dos can take it." Both the British and the Ameri- cans said they were pleased to be fighting side by side. x Commando Robin Joyce of Porch Cottage, Brimdein Irlesford, Hamp- shire, said, “The United States Ma- rines are a fine group of fighting lads and we are glad to be with them.” The American Leathernecks re- plied in kind.

Mountain streams, normally little more than rivulets, bloated into rag- ing torrents over the weekend under the impact of days of driving rain and melting snow from the Sierras, Some communities were inun- dated. Others were threatened by weakening dikes. Roads and bridges were washed out. Countless rescue missions kept casualties to a minimum. New Storm Warning The Weather Bureau warned that a new storm would pour more rain over north central California today, the eighth day of the record-break- ing downpours that dumped as much as 10 inches of rain in a 24 hour period in foothills east of Fresno. Unseasonal warm weather in the Sierra thawed the snowpack, adding millions of gallons of water to the swollen streams. At Donner Pass the pack had melted from 25 to 7 inches and was still dwindling. Murky waters has forced at least 2,000 families from their homes in central California. Frank Irwin, 87, was found drowned in bed in his cottage on .he rampaging Sacramento river. All-Out Assistance Jimmy Johnson, 75-year-old pen- sioner, died of a heart attack as he was being rescued from his home near Kernville. As flood waters surged over the already-drenched area from Sacra- mento to Bakersfield, Gov. Earl Warren ordered all state depart- ment heads to alert their staffs for all-out assistance. Visalia, already facing complete Inundation as the rising Kaweah rlveg surged against the Cutler Park dike, and other lower valley towns feared new river crests. Parts of Kernville and Isabella were under four feet of water. Some 1,000 persons were homeless in that area alone. The Kern river com- pletely washed out the $200,000 state Kern river fish hatchery. NEW STORM WAVES FRESNO, Calif., Nov. 20—(P—New storms were moving in waves upon central California today, heighten- ing the menace of floods in foot- hills and valley areas. Thousands had been driven from their homes. Damage to property, crops, highways and livestock was counted in the millions, In Visalia, Tulare county, four members of a family burned to death today as fire destroyed their house. Most of the fire department’s pumpers were busy at the time, trying to keep flood waters from ruining goods.in store basements. Two other deaths had been re- ported earlier, directly attributable to the floods, possibly the worst in the history of central California. At Sacramento rivermen predicted the American river would go a foot above its overflow level late today— about four feet lower than the re- cord mark. Seven hundred residents of suburban Sacramento were forced from their homes. smi?flafims Baranof from Seattle scheduled to arrive 1 p.m. tomorrow.
