That wind-whipped downpour forced closing of the Golden Gate bridge for three hours Saturday night for the first time in its 14-year history. Rain started falling late last night’ from San Francisco Bay north. High winds were expected today as the new storm moves in- land and southward. Golden Gate bridge engineers said the broadside buffeting did not damage the structure, world’s long- est single suspension span. “It is in perfect alignment,” said bridge general manager James E. Rickets. Pleasure Boat Tossed Over Like Cork; 6 Persons Die SAN DIEGO, Calif., Dec. 3—(®— Waves and currents tossed a Sun- day pleasure boat over like a cork in its home port entrance here and took the lives of six of 11 persons known aboard. Lifeguards said they understood a twelfth unidentified man was mis- sing, but survivors listed only 11 on the boat. . The 40-foot “Dot,” a converted former Navy landing craft, was hit by heavy ground swells late yester- day as it swerved in the surge of an outgoing tide in the narrow Mission Bay entrance channel. City lifeguards, watching from a lookout tower, were at the scene in ‘They pulled nine from the water—four dead and five alive. The dead included Mrs. Dorothy Cutright, 34, only woman in the party and the only one wearinz a life preserver when the boat cap- sized. That SITp‘Firing Order Was issued Declares AP By the Associated Press The Associated Press supported its contention today that what amounted to orders for an unoffi- cial cease fire actually were issued last week. High military com- mands and. - the White House promptly denied that they had been, although fighting suddenly dropped off all along the front. The AP bureau chief in Tokyo, Robert Eunson, has filed a copy of an order he got from a source considered to be extremely reliable. The order is said to have been read to at least one battalion November 28 and signed by the Commander of the First Army Corps in Korea. Presumably similar orders went to other Allied forces. The order says there was no ac- tual cease fire, but that Allied policy would be to avoid casualties, main- taining present positions and fir- ing only in self defense. Patrols would seek information only, and raids were barred. After a flurry caused by disclos- ure of the strange lull that settled down over the fighting fronts, a second order came out. It instructed Allied troops to improve their posi- tions when they could, and to out- shoot the enemy five-to-ong,. . . if he shoots first or presents an in- viting target. J.'B.

BASKETBALL TUESDAY Douglas High School meets the Imperials in the first game of a twin bill in Douglas, December 4 jat 7:30. The second game features the ARC and the Coast Guard. The Huskies, riding high on a three game Wwin streak, put their victory skein ons the block when they tangle with undefeated Imper- ' jals. The Imps, pre-season favorites for the league championship, have an even stronger club than last ‘year with the addition of Gary | Bach, former Huskie star. Douglas’ wins have, so far, been at the expense of the lesser teams in the league and the Imperials are the first of the top teams which will play the Huskies during the first half of the season. The second game will pit two winless teams, the ARC and the Coast Guard, together. The game should be a toss-up with a possible edge going to the Road Commission.
