THE AIR WAR IN KOREA United States planes continue to wreck ground in- stallations of the Communists in North Korea almost daily. In recent weeks, the activity of U. S. aircraft over North Korea has been increased considerably and de- _ gteuction on the ground has also increased greatly. ; ‘This is significant because the major effort of the Air Force only a few months ago was the ex- pansion of its air power southward, in an attempt to halt the ground attacks being conducted by the U. S. air forces. U. S. bombers — B-29s of World War II vintage — were handled rather severely on several occasions at this time by Communist jet fighters. The reception they were given ‘on these occasions became so rough that daytime bomb- ing by the B-29s was practically suspended. ( ‘The Communists, at the same time, also built in their anti-aircraft defenses to an efficient state, and had their major railroads and highways lined all the way with ra- dar-controlled anti-aircraft guns, according to reports. Week after week, the largest United States air force loss- es were losses from ground fire and not from enemy ac- tion in the air During the recent truce ‘negotiations, the U. S. air forces gave North Korean transportation and installations &@ comparative respite, However, when the negotiations seemingly became hopeless again, the U. S. air forces again began pounding North Korean targets. The nature of the attacks was changed, however, in that instead of using B-29s, the U. §. Command employed jet fighter bombers almost exclusively, While these planes cannot carry anywhere near the pay load of a B-29, they are much faster and, protected by other jet fighters above, they are much more immune to ground fire. Nevertheless, the Communists claimed they were shooting down considerable numbers of fighter bombers, though this did not stop the U. S. air attacks, Major rail- roads and repair depots and highways were destroyed over a wide area of North Korea with the resumption of the attacks. The person who always has bad luck may be special- izing in it. The editor realizes that you often think these words are trite, and he agrees.

HOLLYWOOD Today’s Actress Parts With ‘Joseph Demuro In NOTES. |Business “thing Too © City For Service "By BOB THOMAS HOLLYWOOD (#—They’re: blow- ing up a large part of Los “An- geles over at Paramount. : - . The City Hall came down in rubble recently. Now they’ré lev- eling various other landmarks. All this takes place on a movie set, of course. But when it ap- pears on the screen, it will look like a Martian invasion for sure. This is the latest chapter in the life of a literary work that has a long and chilling history. It is H. G. Wells’ “War of the Worlds,” which shivered Victorian readers when it was first published in 1898, The book depicted the invasion of London by octopus-like creatures from Mars, Orson Welles,.in the days when he was really a wonder boy, put the story on radio, shifting the Tocale to New York. He did it in documentary style, as though it were actualy happening. Some citizens of New Jersey, where the invasion was supposed to have started, were réportedly scared out of their socks, Now it’s a film version. The pro- ducer is George Pal, who has created such fantasia as “Desti- nation Moon” and “When Worlds Collide”, He has the Martians ianding in the California Desert and marching on Los Angeles. “I wanted them to land in the desert,” he explained, “because the reports of flying saucers and other phenomenon hav happened over the desert.” Pal’s Martians arrive in a sau- cer-like flying ship, They have several crab-like legs, the pro- ducer reasoning that the Martians evolved from crabe instead of monkeys. The invaders wreak their havoc by means of death and destruction rays causing dread vibrations, All this calls for some fantastic Gordon Jennings, who wrecked the temple in ‘“‘Sam- son and Delilah,” among other things, says he has more special effects in “War of the Worlds” than in any film during his 26 years in the studios. Pal is convinced that science |fiction films are not a passing jfancy. “It's no fad,” he said. “I jthink good science fiction films | will continue as a regular kind of picture, just like Westerns and musicals. But they have to be good.

The civilian economy is fairly balanced between the forces of in- | flation and deflation, with busi- | nessmen and economists alike di- vided as to which way it’s likely to tilt. A long steel strike could be a big factor in deciding. The defense prograin has been reported both by industrialists and by the military—as lagging behind schedule (and behind Rus- sian military production). The American armament pro- | gram is now on the threshhold of what has been billed as its big step forward—-tooling nearly done and volume production in the off- ing. But only if steel is available. That is why the government im- mediately froze all steel stocks to | end sales for civilian use. Steelmen feel that the civilian industries have steel inventories higl. enough to get by for two or three weeks. After that, if the | strike continues, plant shutdowns | for placifg vountary ceili and worker layoffs might become | fairly widespread.

Industrial plant expansion, now at its peak, is expected to taper off from now on. Steelmen have been predicting that by fall demand and supply would be in full balance, and by the end of the year supply would exceed demand. That timetable will not depend, of course, on the length of the strike. Talk was heard that steel con- * trols would be lifted before year's end.
