Earlier dispatches told of fierce fighting in the city around the railroad station. The Communist attack appeared well planned.

Some American units moving to the front were ambushed and cut off but reportedly fought their way back to the main U.S. forces. U.S. warplanes roared into the battle raking the enemy with rockets and machineguns while American artillery pounded advancing force. Take Town The Red column, which thrust deep into allied territory, Thursday pushed South Korean forces out of Kigye, eight miles northwest of Pohang.

General Douglas MacArthur's headquarters early Friday sah Communist forces were reported preparing defense positions on high ground just east of Chinju The bomb-wrecked enemy base is 55 miles west of Pusan. U.S patrols were virtually at the outskirts two miles east of Chinju proper. The Army's 35th Regimental combat team and the 5th Infantry, regiment shoved forward under fairly light opposition. The main body was about six miles east of Chinju, headquarters said The advance measured was the biggest single gain of the war for American forces.

Shift First Division During the week the Reds shifted their, veteran First division about 20 miles north to the Nak- river front. Attacked repeatedly, the Reds clung to the bridgehead south- wesi of Chacignyong, about 23 miles south of major American supply base at Taegu, If the Communists can break from this bridgehead they will snap the supply lines from Taegu to Pusan, 55 miles to the southeast. Headquarters said that the Reds, fiffhtlns; in a mile-wide bridgehead, had been "unable to build up this force, partly because of heavy losses and partly because of extreme difficulty in crossing the river."

The new threat from the far northeast end of the defense line appeared serious. One force drove Rbout four miles south of Yoncdok after recapturing that rubbled port city.

lubboek Renprled Oamaned Bv HfaMme Blaze A residence in 900 block Thirty- first was damaged by fire late Thursday night. Firemen at Station No. 3 at Thirtieth and Texas said the residence was located at 911 Thirty- first and occupied by E. Walker. Extent of damage was unknown late last night.

It was reported one room in the residence was burned jut. Occupants of the house were aot there at the time of the fire's jutbreak. Firemen said they did not receive a call to the fire. They said man, who was not identified, came to thi station about pjn. and reported the fire.

Fire fighting equipment was dispatched to the scene. Central station also sent equipment Plan to provide air line service for "bush" commu.iities of Rhodesia and Nyasaland are announced in Africa. Greer Garson Visits (Continued From Page One) she fell into conversation and proved to be even more charming than ever. As she posed with this reporter she began half-heartedly complaining about the fact that she "didn't look her best" after the long day's ride and proved to be the typical woman as she quickly primped before allowing the photographer to snap her picture. After one pose she remarked, "Well, he (the cameraman) is an old professional, I see he is going to take two shots to make sure.

Maybe he should be in Hollywood." As the interview progressed the extremely likeable personality which motion picture goers know so well became more and more evident. Miss Garson, who has just returned from England where she recently completed filming of a sequel to "Mrs. Miniver" entitled "The Miniver Story," joked about the fact that while she was a native Scotsman she had fallen in love with Texas. "The Miniver Story" which is scheduled for release sometime in October co-stars Miss Garson again with Walter Pidgeon and two other members of the original "Miniver" cast. Reginald Owen and Henry Wilcoxen.

"Of course there are several of those Britishers in the picture also," she added. The broad and the trilling Scotch thistle which is very evident in Miss Carson's speech brings to mind kilts and bagpipes. When asked about ranch life, Miss Garson immediately perked up and for the remainder of the interview she chatted very enthusiastically about the Forked Lightning and its colorful history. Likes Western Life "I have really learned to like this western life," she stated. "Since last year when Buddy and I were married and I first came to the ranch it has been nothing but the most pleasant sort of fun to live there.

"I really am quite mad about the place," she added, and went on to tell of how she-had helped with the harvest when she first arrived. Familiar Wilh Texas One of the most interesting aspects about the beautiful star was her knowledge of Texas and of ranch life in general. She recently purchased some purebred Scotch shorthorn cattle in Perth, Scotland and is bringing them to the Forked Lightning. "I hope to be able to start a herd right there on the ranch and continue the breed for show purposes," she said. Her husband, who then joined the group mentioned the fact that some of the finest cattle in the world came from West Texas, In connection with her comments on her plans for breeding stock, she inquired if there were any large fairs held around here.

She was told the the annual Panhandle-South Plains fair is held each fall here. The topic turned again to Hollywood and to the glamorous screen life which she led and Miss Garson laughingly confided that she seldom thought about Hollywood while not actually making a picture, "I'm afraid the public wouldn't be very conscious of me if it weren't for the fact that Metro- oldwyn-Meyer studio keeps a stable full of publicity agents," she said. Then she revealed that in spite of the fact that most big lame stars have their own publicity agents, she didn't even have one. At present she is on a six-months leave of absence from her studio. Moviei Made Faster Miss Garson expressed -her de- ight that movies were being made much faster these days.

Her riain interest, as was evident the interview, was spending more time on the ranch and she felt that faster filming of pictures would give her more time 'where I really belong." As the reporters continued the chat Miss Garson rapidly became 'just an ordinary person" whose delightful manner and quick smile added to the pleasant t'on. When asked if this was her first visit to Lubbock she replied that was and said however, that her has mentioned it many imes. She noted that he had told her just before they came into that she would like it. Has Compliment For City "He impressed on me that this vould be a good town for a young man to get a start in, and it really does seem nice. I only wish we could stay longer and get better acquainted." Her husband has extensive oil nterests in Scurry and Midland counties.

She remarked that al- hough she was fast becoming acquainted with names like Mid- and and Snyder and other oil centers, her maid still was rather confused. "Just recently on the ranch she came in hnd rather incredulously nnounced that a Mr. Midland from Texas was calling on the phone," she laughed. As the interview closed Miss Garson was asked about her next oicfure and she immediately relied, "Oh by all means I must do western, i hope they called it Trieeer Garson in Smoking Barrels'" was her merry comment bout future film olans. She held her hands up as though loldins twn euns.

Boyd, bookkeeper of 322 Ave. W. Mrs. Boyd told Boling she "definitely locked the safe" before leaving the office about 5 p. m.

Wednesday. She said she was the only one in the office who could open the with the combination." "Not even Mr. Wilbanks car open it," she said. Safe, Office Locktd Wadsworth recalled that Mrs. Boyd closed the safe and "flipped" the catch on the door leading to the corridor when she left.

"It was a habit of lo be sure that anyone leaving later wouldn't forget and leave the office open," he said. Wadsworth said he left at 5:30 p. after pulling down a win- low, turning off a light and pulling shut the door to the corridor. The two other doors, opening into adjoining offices, were locked when the officers investigated. One has a catch lock inside Wil- 3anks' office, the other a key hanging on the wall near it.

The key was in Door Jam Damaged Wadsworth fitted his key into the door opening on the corridor at 8:30 a.m. Thursday, he told the detective and the patrolmen. "I realized then that the door was not locked. I could see light through a place in the door jam, so just pushed the door open and could see immediately that the safe was open and papers scattered on the floor in front of it." The place in the door jam, officers found, had been made by an instrument such as a crowbar or a screwdriver. But the instrument did not did not touch he door beyond, McCurry said.

Contonti Rifled The money and at least one iheck were taken from personal japer files and from the daily cash eceipts box, Envelopes containing notes and layments credited to them had reen systematically rifled, Mrs. Boyd said. The notes reflect Wilbanks' trading in used automobiles, loans made through his Hub Finance company, and renting of 40 apartments he owns here, office em- ployes said. Checking was being continued to determine whether all notes were in place, and whether any other checks and accounts were missing.

No fingerprints apparently were left on the safe or office furnishings. Blast furnaces of Luxembourg now require more than half-agate as much iron ore as its domestic mines can supply. tinued ranch.

"Oh yes," she said, "there is one thing I do want to find out about.

Buddy told me once that he had seen hailstones as large as tennis balls near a place called Muleshoe. I believe that's some more of this Texas tall talk," she laughed. When assured that such a thing had been known to happen she hastened to apologize to husband in a joking manner and then he said "come on Rusty, you'll stand there talking all night," she turned and got into the new car and the trio drove out of Lubbock on their way to the Forked Light- nine ranch. Back in the hotel, waitress Laverne Crisp who had served the narty said she was very surprised to find the star at her table. "Why she acted just like any normal person," she said.

Miss Garson dined on a filet mignon and the two men ate KC Ralph Lacy, the host at the hotel dining room, said Fogelson had come into the dininp room about five minutes before his wife and Baren to make the reservation. The first indication of the star's presence here came from an unknown male caller to the Avalanche. He reported someone who 'looked very much like Miss Garson" was dining at tiie hotel and upon investigation his tip proved correct. The man, dining with bis wife, stepped to the phone and called the Morning Avalanche to ask if Miss Garson wai in town. The man, who said he was a Lubbock resident, refused to identify himself: because at first he wasn't sure Property Suits Ordered By City (Continued From Page One) sion was informed, the city has offered the appraised value and will attempt to obtain the property at that figure through condemnation.

Under the law, officials explained, the dry will take possession of the property when it desires. The' price eventually paid, unless a settlement can be agreed upon, will be determined after a series of legal hearings and suits. City Manager Steve Matthews reported that nearly all of the property needed to open Nineteenth is being secured without difficulty. Most of the owners are accepting the values as appraised by committees of local rtal estate men. Some owners, anxious to hasten the improvement, are donating portions of property belonging to them which are needed to open the street.

Details 'Quickly The actions upon the city budget and tax rate developed into a formality which the commission disposed of speedily. The of the budget, together with the proposed tax reduction, had been announced a month previously. Thursday was set as the date for a public hearing to which all interested citizens were invited to protest or ask questions about any part of the budget. No one appeared. The budget itemizes expenditures of approximately $4,264,000, or about $500,000 more than during the present year.

The city manager attributed most of the increase to the city limits expansions last December which approximately doubled the city's territorial area. The expansion, Matthews said, is chiefly responsible for the proposed addition of about 18 men to the garbage department, 13 to the fire department and 10 to the police department. The extensions also added between 200 and 300 miles of streets and half that mileage of alleys to those the city is expected to maintain and repair. (One square mile in a city normally contains 30 to 35 miles of of streets, and 16 to 18 miles of alleys. About 10 square miles were added to the city last December.) Wtll Sitei Purchased The new water well sites were purchased from Will Stacy for a total of $15,000 on 'the recommendation of R.

L. Oldham, director of public works. The advantages of the purchase to the city are several, he said. The sites are In a half-section (320 acres) of land west by slightly north of the city limits. They wil mean a substantial source of to 10,000,000 gallons a day in an a new direction.

Until a few weeks ago, practically all Lubbock 20,000,000 gallons daily came through one pipeline from a acre well field northeast of the city limits. This still is the largest source of supply. Very recently, 12 wells in a northwesterly direction were pu into' service. They will produce nearly 10,000,000 gallons a day- more in an emergency. Third Pipeline To Be Uied Water from the new sites wil flow through a third pipeline which now serves a number of olc wells.

The new wells are expected to produce somewhat more than 500 gallons a minute each, The completion of the development, Oldham explained, will protect Lubbock from the dangers of a critical water famine. If one or even two, pipelines to well fields should go out of service for any reason, enough will be available through the other to avert famine conditions. Streets included in the first saving project for 1951 follow: First street, from Hartford to ndiana; Second place, to Second street, Akron to Boston; 21st eastward to the alley; East 28th, Cedar to Railroad avenue (about six blocks); 32nd, Indiana to Knoxville; 33rd, Joliet to Knoxville; 35th, to and A to Elm; 38th, to Jarrett addition; 39th, to College 40th, to and to Ave, 34th to 36th; and each from 37th to 38th; Akron, First to Second; Amherst, Hartford to Indiana; Bates, Detroit to Elgin; Dartmouth, Canton to Detroit; Duke, Gary to Flint; Elgin, to 40th; Elm, 26th to 28th; Fordham, Flint to Gary; Joliet, 31st to 32nd; Juniper, Railroad ave. to 28th; and Knoxville, 19th to 26th. Plan To Given The procedure to be followed in this project will be the preparation of engineering specifications and a call for bids to do the work.

Cement curb and gutter will be installed and caliche base laid during the fall and winter. Asphalt and crushed rock surfacing will be applied next spring. To be paved at once will be one block on Twenty-fourth between Knoxville and Louisville. This will be added to a paving contract now being completed by Kerr Middleton, local firm. Other business transacted by the commission included: The Junior Chamber of Commerce was authorized to use a loud speaker in auctioning the first 1950 bale of Lubbock county cotton, expected around Sept.

1. Mayor Clarence Whiteside was empowered to sign an oil and gas lease on 320 acres of city water well land, northeast of the aty limits to C. A. Pierce. The city will receive $6,400 ($30 an acre) for the least plus $1 an acre rental for five total of about $8,000.

The land is part of an area known as the Studebaker tract One-hour parking meters were ordered installed on the following streets: east side of Texas avenue between Eighth and Tenth; south side of Ninth from Texas west to the alley, north side of Ninth from east to, the alley and from Texas to the next alley.

Soap Box Derby (Continued From Page One) where they will be entertained until the big race. All were hopeful of meeting stars Jimmy Stewart and William Boyd of Hopalong Cassidy fame, former heavyweight champion Jack Dempsey and race driver Wilbur Shaw, who will take part in the pre-race activities Sunday.

Stewart is marshal of the big pre- race parade and Hopalong Cassidy will referee a match race between Stewart, Dempsey and Shaw on the Derby Downs course before the Derby championship starts. Tomorrow the boys will have their first day at Derby Downs for safety test runs and tuning up of then- racers for Sunday's race, In the drawing of places in heats at the annual Derby clinic this afternoon. Eddie drew lane No. 2 and will compete against James Dutcher, 13, of Hudson, N. Y.

and another 11-year-old, John Coleman of Ala. One noticeable thing about the contest tfiis year is that among the 147 boys competing, thirty are class boys 11 and 12 years old. The drive from Lubbock, which started Sunday, was an eventful trip for the young 4-H club boy from Idalou. En route he saw green fields of cotton through Arkansas, corn and tobacco in Tennessee, blue grass and fine horses through Kentucky and rolling hills covered with com and hay crops through Ohio. Tuesday night he was a spectator at a doubleheader baseball game in Cincinnati between the Reds and the Chicago Cubs, but much to his disgust and the others in the party the Cubs went down miserably before the alert Reds.

Lubbock's BD1 Serena only got one hit in the opening game. For the Serena fans, however, Bill. still looks good at the plate and banged out long balls, but they all fell into outfielder's hands. Bill still draws a line with his bat across the batter's box and crimps his cap bill like he did in his old Hubber days. From now until Sunday, Eddie's program will be filled every minute with activities as he takes part in the camp program.

He is quartered in a cabin at the camp with seven other boys from scattered points over North American- Sunday's running of the Derby will be the thirteenth national race and the theme of this year's race is built around the "lucky 13" idea. Only the problem of weight was bothering Lubbock's champion as he readied for the race. He was afraid he might be a pound or two overweight as he has gained considerable poundage since Lubbock's race on July 4, but he was not alone in his worries, other boys faced the same problem. Derby officials assured him however, that they hadn't lost a "weight case" since the Derby started and if he should be over the 250 pound limit when he weighs in Friday excess can be chisled from his car. More interest from parents is evident for this year's race as practically every boy entered is accompanied by at least one and in many cases both his parents.

Eddie has the edge on the boys from the Southwest as 11 people will be in the stands pulling for him when he rolls down the 975.4 foot course Sunday. Besides his parents and sister, his uncle, City Commissioner Hufstedler, who sponsored him in the Lubbock derby, his aunt, Mrs. Hufstedler and children, Don and Patsy, Sue and Linda and Mrs. C. W.

Ratliff will be yelling their lungs out for Eddie to come through with flying colors. If he doesn't win, however, it won't matter so much to Eddie. He's having a grand time and has met a lot of fine youngsters from all over this great land of ours. Official Washington Urged To'Sober Up EVANSTON, Aug. 10.

Women's Christian Temperance union urged Washington today to "sober up" by going on the wagon for the duration of the Korean war. Mrs. D. Leigh Colvin, president of the WCTU, said Congress should enact a prohibition law for the District of Columbia. She asserted: "While American boys are dying in Korean foxholes, Washington is continuing as the cocktail capital of the world.

"Certainly it should be required to sober up now." viding that any employe of the city with seniority of a year or longer who is inducted into any branch of the military service will be reemployed upon his discharge. He also will receive a seniority credit for all time in service. A complicated formula was approved to be used in setting charges for the use of the Municipal airport by military aircraft, it was recommended by Ed Colby, airport manager, who explained that it is designed to reimburse the city for the larger part of damage to runways caused by military planes. Roughly, the charge will 22.6 cents for each 1,000 pounds of weight of each plane landed. Colby estimated that this scale, if in effect last year, would have netted the city about $17,000.

Present at the commission meeting, additional to the mayor, were Commissioners Harry Morris, L. E. Davis and Lucian Thomas. Commissioner E. K.

Hufstedler is out of the city. Controls Passed (Continued From Page One) all situations. The House, reaching its decision after six days of squabbling, with held from Mr. Truman two items of control: 1. It rejected 198-194 a provision giving him authority to regulate speculation on commodity markets There was a question, however whether other credit control ers in the bill might not permi' him to move in and control speculation anyhow.

It is a point to be settled in conference between the Senate and House. 2. It voted 202 to 188 to limit curbs on real estate credits to new construction or major remodeling started after noon on Aug. 3. Thus the House bill would forbid the President to control credit on existing homes or those under construction.

Powers which the House bil carry the right for the President to impose, if he thinks necessary: 1. Ceilings on wages and prices, separately or -jointly, stabilizing wages at the May 24-June 2 levels. As to prices, he is directed to give "due consideration" to levels of that period. 2. Rationing as the needs require at wholesale or retail levels.

3. Allocations of scarce materials for essential uses. 4. Top priorities for defense production. 5.

Requisition of plants, materials and supplies if necessary for the nation's defense. Owners would be entitled to compensation and first choice in regaining their property when it is no longer needed. 6. Production loans up to a total of $2 billion to increase defense supplies. 7.

Controls on granting of credit, with some restrictions. While both House and Senate bills would give Mr. Truman broad discretion to invoke control authority, each puts a time limit on using it. The House bill would expire next June 30, and the Senate bill a year later. The House bill carries a stiff anti-hoarding provision aimed at persons who have more than a normal stock of necessities.

The top penalty could be a year in prison and $10,000 fine. President Truman told reporters that he plans no revival of the Office of Price controversial wartime OPA to handle the economic controls. Regular federal agancies are capable of doing the job, Mr. Truman said. A government report today that food prices at retail took a slight average drop in the last half of July probably will figure in Senate debate on controls.

The Bureau of Labor statistics said that a special survey of 2 5 foods in 13 large cities showed that 18 advanced, including bread, eggs, hamburger, bacon, coffee and sugar. But sharp seasonal declines in fresh vegetables and a drop in fresh pork pulled the list down about two-tenths of one percent compared with July 15. AEC Program (Continued From Page One) billion dollars soon will be sought for atomic weapons production, but he declared he favors spending as much as is necessary to assure maximum output. Atomic experts were revealed to have assured Congress that the U.S. still holds a considerable advantage over Russia in the A-bomb race.

Congressional sources other than McMahon predict that the AEC soon will ask $500,000 in addition to the S817 million already requested for the current fiscal year and the $260 million allotted to manufacture of the hydrogen bomb. Cotton Curbs (Continued From Page One) in its entirety because it reflects a totally selfish motive for the benefit of certain areas and discriminates against other areas which are struggling survival. "The area I represent is made up mostly of new land developed from the'desert by means of drilling water wells and clearing desert vegetation." He said irrigated lands in his part of Texas yield more than a bale (500 pounds) of cotton per aero, compared to less than a half of bale to the acre in the old cot ton sections in the eastern half of the state. He gave the production in figures at 600 and 200 pounds per acre, respectively. The total cost of production in the Trans-Pecos area, where mechanical pickers gather nine bales a day, is just about the same per acre as in East Texas where virtually all harvesting is done by hand, he said.

Similar testimony was presented by Louis J. Ivey of El Paso, represting the El Paso Valley Cotton association, and W. O. Fortenberry, Lubbock, who said he spoke for various individual farmers in that area. "The farmers in my area are anxious to work out from under controls instead of perpetuating them and we feel that now is the most opportune time to begin this process," said Ivey.

When Fortenberry remarked that the Korean war situation might sharply increase the demand for cotton. Senator Ellender (D-La) said there is a total carryover of about 7,500,000 bales and that the presently foreseeable requirements for 1951, considered with controlled production next year, probably would not reduce the carry-over below 4,000,000 bales. Business Tax Hike (Continued From Page One) belled at the President's suggestion that the higher rates apply to all of 1950 corporation income. It said the higher rates shall apply to only one-half of this year's earnings. The new corporation tax rate schedule will be 25 percent of the first $25,000 of corporation earnings, and 45 percent of all earnings over $25,000.

The present rates arc 21 percent on the first 23 percent of the next 25 percent on the next 53 percent on income between $25,000 and $50,000, and 3fi percent on all earnings above $50,000, Under the new rates, corporations earning between $31,250 and $71,428 actually will get a reduction in taxes, while those earning less than $31,250 and more than $71,428 will pay more, By applying the higher rates to one-half of 1950 income, the top effective rate this year will be about 41te percent, and the increased collections about $750 million. The full force of the hiflh- er rates would apply to all of 1951 income and years thereafter. The bill may be on the President's desk by Sept, 1. MSBmtfSI Joe Stanley. 34, of 2421 Thlrtf- second, notified the Morning Avalanche that he is not the Joe Stanley who was convicted in county court-at-law Wednesday ol theft under $50, Stanley said he is an employe of the Hygeia Water company.

Russia Refuses (Continued From Page One) the puppet governor who governs because his master has given him tanks and guns to make his countrymen tremble and obey 1 Slept Up Austin stepped up the forcefulness of his words as the aftermath of a 90-minute informal conference among council members which preceded the regular sion. At that meeting, Malik it clear that the other ten members who appealed to him to drop his filibuster were wasting time. Facing the ten men again in public council chamber, Malik, as' president of the council for August, swung the gavel to quiet the audience and four times refused to honor a challenge by Austin to rule on the seating of South Korean Representative John M. Chang. He denied that Russia is aiding the Korean Communists and said that the North Koreans are merely using arms "which were there when Soviet troops withdrew from Korea." Sails Into Malik Austin then sailed into Malik again and warned that his double- talk on peace would never mislead the free world.

In blunt language seldom used by the U. S. before, Austin said: representative seated at this council is aware that the bloodshed in Korea could be halted this very day if certain member states were prepared to fulfill their charter obligations. Hundreds of lives and thousands of casualties could have been spared long since, if those member states had responded to the action of this council as we have every night to expect them to respond Malik opened the session by announcing that the informal meeting had failed (o change the views of the various members, but that 'as appropriate, further unofficial exchanges of views would take place." The Security Council adjourned after another exchange between Malik and other delegates on procedure. The next meeting is tomorrow at 3 p.
