THE BAYTOWN SUN. SATURDAY, MAY 26, 195! JProm Page One) what appeared to be a Russian- type T-34 medium task. Communists apparently are retreating to their main assembly area in the valley that lies in the center of the Chor-von- Xumhwa Pj-onggan? triangle," Yerniiilion said. UN units swept north seven miles and more aU along the 120- mile Korean front. Powerful tank columns spearheading the advance had hoped to tran the retreating Communists south of the parallel, but front reports said most of the enemy had escaped across the pre-war frontier with the Allies in close pursuit- Swarms of US fighters bombers rakeu zfce Reds with bombs, rockets, bullets and flaming jellied gasoline in an attempt to slow their withdrawal enough fcr the Eighlfl Army to overtake them.

Today's Eighth Array communi- que put this task force one mile north of the parallel and within six miles of Hwachon, abandoned to the Reds the first phase of the Chinese spring offensive last month. The- thrust met only light opposition, and that just north of the pre-war frontier. At one point south of the parallel. US 24th Division elements captured 50 Chinese.

Scene Of Deadly Fights RICHARDSON for CVntral and Tils Baytowu Sun F.iijiy uuelling pistols, lyinj; shelves of many an anti sl'op acrcss the nation, are net dead footnotes to a oy- gor.c- era. For dueHing is much alive, believe it or not.

No crie knows the numbe- cf duels fought in the western world since the end of the war, but a conservative estimate places them into the thousands. Most of the encounters hiv! teen fought in France, breeding place of the gentlemanly Pistols have been the preferred weapons in most of the cases. Other weapons still used include swords, rapiers, daggers modern and walking canes. The latest and one of the better publicized duels occurred in Paris recently when a newsman and an "insulted" citizen met for an exchange of sword play. The encounter ended the citiien drew first blood by slicing the journalist in the arm with a lunge.

The practice of ending the fight when one of the participants is injured is modernity's lone contribution to the ancient rules. Seldom in Twentieth Century duelling practices has a duel lasted until one of the combatants is dead. However, a savage dagger fight in Barcelona late in 19-35 furnished an exception to the "unwrit'en "no clause in present-day duelling. Two Spaniards faced the fact that they both could not marry the same girl. Since neither wished to bow out to the other, they agreed that one should die.

Because they were in- MacArthur Didn't Request Bombing Of China-Collins (Continued From Page One) that the curb on bombing across the border reduced the "normal benefit" that would accrue as a result of his superior air power- 2. Later, when the Joint Chiefs asked MacArthur's comment on a possible plain to exacuate Korea, should such action be forced by the enemy, MacArthur stated that US naval and air power were being only partially utilized. Collins said MacArthur "suggested that we could destroy China's industrial capacity to wage war through bombardment." 3. Still later. Collins said, MacArthur estimated that "the enemy had lost his chance for decisive action in Korea, but still retained a potential as long as enemy bases in Manchuria remained immune to air attack." Collins conceded that MacArthur ir.ight consider numerous references to the "enemy sanctuary" as requests for authority to bomb, but that the chiefs are unable to find "any specific requests as such." Senator Bourke B.

Hickenlooper. Iowa, said that an analogy migbt be provided if a field commander had to ask Washington's permission "every time he wants to load a cannon or put five rounds in a rifle." Committee Chairman Richard B. Russell, D. Georgia, interjected that he could see "absolutely no relationship" between asking permission to load a cannon and asking permission to bomb forces "outside of Korea that had not yet demonstrated that they were attacking our armed forces." Collins recalled that he has been asked yesterday about any requests MacArthur may have made to bomb Red supply centers in China, including Manchuria. "Actually it appears that there was no specific request from General MacArthur for authority to bomb targets in China or Manchuria," Collins said.

"However, he raised the question of doing so as early as November T. when he stated that restrictions placed upon the United Nations operations in Korea provided a sanctuary for hostile forces." MacArthur has testified before the same committee that refusal of Washington to let him bomb Red marshaling yards and supply centers in Manchuria billed chances in Korea. Collins referred to another MacArthur message, also received on November 7, at this point Collins and the committee became involved in a discussion of code security. Collins warned that "sequential dates of messages should be deleted from the record. He then asked that he be given permission to talk "completely.

off the record" for a while -without notes being This was granted, and committee Chairman Richard B. Russell, Georgia, -said afterward that Collins had talked or.ly of "security procedures and not any issues nvolved here." opt in the- courtly art of nd because both were bum ihots, they pick the only fo.v;: of duelling which originated in the United States close-quarti-r flaggcr duelling. During a digger match, which not the same every-day back alley knife altercation, there is very Ii; chance of either fighter surviving. Fast and short, the rules of the unique type of combat stipulate that the two men stand with the ieft arms touching, which re- cuires them to face in opposite direction. Their left arms are strapped together with a leather thong which is wound around the arms, lacing the contestants tightly together and automatically preventing either of them from retreating.

Inseparable, they must fight until one can no longer wield his weapon. In the Barcelona affair the two men succeeded only in making a rather lonesome girl of the seno- riia; for, contrary to plans, both died. Dagger fights were popular in South Carolina and Virginia during the hectic period from 1S50- 1R70, and are generally believed to have originated in the Carolinas. However, they have long since died out in America. In other than dagger duels, the results are often rather comic.

When two enraged British businessmen recently decided tha.t their differences could only be settled by gun play, they hit upon the idea of loading shotgun shelU pellets of fat meat. In this curious type of shooting, the meat pellets hit with fiercely stinging force and raise blistering welts. The two Englishment broke and ran as the duel opened and banged at the other from the tion of nearby underbrush. Their yelps of pain brought the bobbies, however, and both were trundled off to the local jailhouse. To many Frenchmen, their right to duel, if it is mutually agreeable, as sacred as their publicized right to liberty, equality and fraternity.

To the French and Spanish, the duelers are tragic figures, sometimes subject" to tear-jerking articles in the local newspapers. To the English, the rare duel is a nuisance. But in America where the duel it almost, but not quite, unknown it is just another form of breaking the law. Page One) Sf.opi A STOP-SIGN will be put soon at Pine and Cedar soon. Police Chief H.

He added that the United Nations is "the greatest cause in the world," and said UN troops in Korea are "fighting to make a world organization that will prevent war in the future." "We are fighting in Korea to preserve the United Nations," the president said, "and to give it strength and power to enforce its mandates. We are fighting in Korea to prevent a third world war." Mr. Truman again called for the nation to stop "petty bickering" and support the troops in Korea "by our words, by our deeds and by our prayers." "If we can stop that petty political bickering, stop the misrepresentations and the character in this country." he said. "I am sure that our faith will succeed. We will be living the faith of our fathers, and victory be ours." TAMER KEEPS TOUCH DETROIT Lion tamer Clyde Beatty feels right at home in his specially-built 510,000 new Kaiser automobile.
