Maj. Gen. William C. Chase, head of the U. S.

Military Mission in Formosa, said today the Chinese Nationalists could mount a complete blockade of the China mainland within one hour's time. Chase said the training program lor Generahssimo Chiang Kai- Shek forces has made such progress they not only could smash any Communist invasion attempt but could also clamp down a blockade from Swatow on the south to the Chusan Islands on the north. So far, he said, the United Slates has sent nearly 800 officers and men lo Formosa to whip the Nationalist forces into shape. The complement of American specialists will be heie before September 1. With the a i a of new equipment, especially heavy guns and planes, a stiil higher degree of training can be put into effect, he said.

"It always rains in Waynesburg on July 29." A slight drizzle fell on the community Tuesday night. It began about 5:45 o'clock and lasted only a minute or two but it was enough to make rain prophet John Daily proclaim "the dry spell is broken." It was the first July 29 "rain" in Waynesburg since 1948. Before that year rain had fallen in the town, every July 29 since 1875 with only four exceptions.

Scores of persons testified to the drizzle, but you couldn't prove anyihing by the weather bureau. "It might have rained," the bureau said. "But if it did, we don't know about it."

Special to The Courier. UNIONTOWN, July 30.

A former state legislator iaid yesterday that a dox.en families have deserted their homes along the i National Pake in Hopwood be! cause of fear of runaway trucks. Their fright was crystallized Sunday when a heavily-loaded truck ran out of control and smashed head-on into an automobile, claiming six lives. Burton Tarr, former Stale senator who is now North Union township tax collector, said the occupants will not return to their homes until they are assured of safety from runaway trucks. Tarr and Dr. C.

H. Sherry will head a delegation which will appeal to Gov. John S. Fine today. Tdir said Elmer Tianscau, hcad of highway safety and a representative of the Governor, will confer wilh Hopwood residents.

Di. Sherry recommended that spurs be built into the side of the mountain. He said out-of-control trucks could drive into these I spurs and end their wild rides down the mountain. Meanwhile, a vigilante committee was formed to stop all trucks at the top of Mount Summit and warn them ol the dangerous grade. A mass luneral tor five victims ol the accident will be held at Midway today.

Charles H. Burns, one ot the dead, was foreman of school buses jn the West Allegheny Joint School District. The body of Clyde R. Willis, 24, truck driver, was removed to his home at East Rainellc, W. Va.

SEOUL, Korea, July James A. Van Fleet, commander the U. S.

Eighth Anny and I United Nations ground forces in i Korea, said today recent trends in Korea indicated "less chance of an armistice than ever before." Moreover, Van Fleet warned, the Communist strength in troops still is "close to 1,000,000" despite recent thinning out of enemy lines. "Ruf 1 think we can defeat any enemy concentration nt, any point on the front," he said. Van Fleet said he was convinced the Communists needed an armistice in June and November, 1951, because they were "in bad shape both limos" nnd were worried about the Winter. "Well," he said, "they sol through Ihe Winter and they have, since been a very tough trader at the armistice table." Van Fleet told a press conference the Communists thinned oui their lines in July to reduce casualties taken by Allied artillery barrages. He said the Reds have been "damn fools to stay in flip front line in such concentrations for us to shoot at." As Van Fleet spoke.
