SUPPLIES, RED AREAS, CUT OFF WASHINGTON, Dec. 9 — (P, — American ships and planes have ! been forbidden to haul war-useful 1goods to Russia and her satellites. The tough, new order issued by the Commerce Department is aimed | at such items as weapons, atomic materials and strategic industrial | products. Effective immediately, it applies to traffic between ports | everywhere in the world. Shortly after it was announced | the Collector of Customs at Hon- jolulu ordered three ships held in | port until cargo for Red China is unloaded. The ships were the Pioneer Wave or the American Pioneer Lines, the 30-VEAR SENTENCE FOR GOLD PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 9— (M — Harry Gold, slim, dark haired re- | search chemist, today was sentenc- jed to 30 years in prison as the self-confessed courier of a Russian atomic spy ring—a crime he told the court was a “terrible mistake.” Gold, was sentenced by U. 8. !

The Storis broke six inch ice at Hood Bay on the return trip so that the freighter Forester could take supplies to the Owen Brihers logging camp there. STEAMER MOVEMENTS “Nothing has served more since my arrest to prove to me what a terrible mistake I made than the manner in which my court-ap- pointed counsel have worked on my behalf, despite personal criticism and invective.

Marines and Doughboys of the Allied 10th Corps, secking to break out of a Ked Chi- nese trap in the Changjin reservoir area of northeast Korea, neared a linkup today with'a northbound rescue column. Marine patrols pushed three miles south of Koto on % | the road to Hamhung and the port of Hungnam. Vice Adm. C. Turner Joy, UN. Naval Commander, said his ships are standing off Hungnam in the {Sea of Japan, ready to meet “any eventuality.” He apparently meant a “Little Dunkerque” will be at- | tempted to save ground forces able \to fight their way through to Hungnam. | Battling 100,000 ! ‘The greatly outnumbered Marines | and Doughboys were battling 100,000 Chinese Reds and blizzard blasts , with the new hope of rescue and evacuation. The Marine patrols on both sides of the road set up flank protection for the main body of retreating troops. In the first stages of their withdrawal from the re- servoir area to Koto, the troops had no flank protection but many got through. Now their chances of driving tbrough the Chinese wall south of JKoto seem. .good. Planes in Action With skies blue and clear, C-47 transport planes began landing at Koto to evacuate wounded. A wave of planes came overhead soon after sunrise. They worked over Chinese Reds on both sides of the road, after UN. artillery poured shells against the hills all night. Massed U.S. artillery was blasting clear the aproaches to the breakout road from a forward position not many miles south of the Marine- Army column. A Chinese prisoner said the harassing artillery fire was effective, killing or wounding 40 men in his company last night. American officers said the firepower should ease the last escape stretch ahead of the column. £ Blocking Escape Four or more Chinese divisions are attempting to block the escape. An American officer said they were attempting a double envelopment (Cotinued on WEATHER REPORT Temperatures for 24-Hour Perfod ending 6:20 o'clock this inorning In Juneau—Maximum, 41; minimum, 34.
