Christmas Season
u. ■ tj jf 'cf* vf
I By UNITED PRESS

expected through Dec. 25th.
In its 30 day forecast, the bureau
forecast snow likely Chris'mas or
Christmas eve on a line from the
Texas Panhandle to Virginia.
Possible light showers were pre-
dicted for Central and South Texas,
«d parts of Oklahoma and Louisi-
a.
Increasing cloudiness with a few
light showers were reported along
the Texas coast early Wednesday.
The only other moisture was in the
Southwest was light showers at
Zuni, N. M., and snow showers in
the higher elevations of Wyoming
and Colorado.
More light snow was expected
Thursday over the Rocky Moun-
tains and in northwest Colorado.
^ Presidio, Tex., had the warmest
weather in the Southwest Tuesday,
70-degrees. Other highs by states
included: Pueblo, Colo.. (i8; Carls-
bad, N. M., 07; Cody. Wyo., 5t<;

Big New Carrier
Cost $209
NEW YORK, Dec. lfi—UP—Navy
Secretary Dan A. Kimball, speak-
ing at keel-laying ceremonies of the
U.S.S. Saratoga, said Tuesday the
000-ton carrier is "a new chal-
•wnge to those who might try to
deprive us of the freedom of the
seas."
The Navy secretary spoke at a
bunting decorated drydock in the
Brooklyn Naval shipyard where the
S200.700.000 carrier is being built.
The Saratoga will be powered by
a newly designed high pressure
steam engine that will make it ca-
pable of delivering jet planes and
bombs to any spot on the globe
jthile moving at speeds in excess
m 30 knots.
Kimball said he is looking for-
ward to construction soon of anoth-
er giant carrier which will be pow-
ered by atomic energy.
"We are completing submarines
using such power plants, and the
contract has already been let for
an experimental plant for a larger
vessel." he said in a prepared
speech.
The Saratoga will be the sixth
^hip and the second aircraft car-
eer in U. S. Naval history to bear
that name.

WESTERN FRONT, Korea, Dec.
11—UP—This rigid war has left one
strange gap along the shell-scarred
battleline. It is the untouched vil-
lage of Taesong, nestled smack in
the middle of no man's land some
300 yards outside the neutral corri-
dor leading to deserted Panmun-
jom.
Her some 80 Koreans—men,
women and children—have man-
aged to make some kind of ar-
rangements with both sides. They
go about their business of tilling the
land, raising children and hanging
up the wash more than 5,000
yards north of the Allied front.
But at night, they can hear the
shouts and screams of battle echo-
ing across their rice paddies as
United Nations and Communist pa-
trols clash.
The village actually is in the bat-
tle zone, but it is so close to the
neutral corridor neither side dares
use artillery in the area.
Prowl Village by Night
By custom, the Chinese prowl
the village by night. After day-
break it is relatively safe for South
Korean troops to enter in search
of women and whisky. Occasional-
ly, however, one mail will vanish
forever, seized by Communist
agents.
American troops overlooking the
village so far never have entered.
They have resisted the blandish-
ments of the young Korean women
who wave to them to come on
down and enjoy the benefits of
community life.
"Its an unhealthy place to go."
a frontline officer said. He de-
scribed the little village as a kind
of "Lisbon" of the Korean war
where spies from both sides mingle
and where murder is not uncom-
mon.
The village has escaped the de-
struction of war, but still suffers
from its terror, according to Amer-
ican overseers overlooking the
place.
To see the village, you have to
climb to an Allied observation post,
then crouch in a thick bunker
with helmet and annored vest and
peer through high-powered binoc-
ulars.
What you see makes you feel
silly.

McBride Cleaner
First a woman leaves her house
balancing wash on her head. Be-
hind her trails a young child, kick-
ing playfully at hard pieces of
snow.
A farmer leads his ox slowly
back from the fields.
Most of the men in the village
are old. Only the women are young.
A regimental officer said the Chi-
nese often change into civilian
clothes to help these Koreans in the
field.
"They are ordered to do it," he
said, "for the sake of better rela-
tions with the Koreans."
The village leader is a sly,
swarthy, 50-odd year old Korean
who must be the master diplomat
of all time. He is in contact with
both Communists and UN forces,
but it is interesting to note that
when it comes to economics, he is
a thorough-going capitalist.
He tried to sell this summer's
rice crop in South Korea rather
than deal w'.'i the Communist
! North Korean regime. Prices are
I better and the South Koreans pay
in hard cash.
Juke Box Music
Caused Shooting
JACKSON, Miss., Dec. 10—UP—
A state supreme court decision
held Tuesday that hearing "The
Tennessee Waltz" played over and
over on a juke box Was no justi-
fication for shooting a man.
The court Monday affirmed the
conviction and three-year prison
sentence of Huddle Hall for wound-
ing George Topps in a argument
over the juke box tune at a Negro
dance hall.
Topps "seems to have been
enamored with the tune," said a
court opinion, and kept "dropping
another nickel in," whereupon Hall
stopped the music and selected a
tune with a "more rapid and fan-
cy step."
This started an argument and the
shooting followed, the court said.
Hall, the opinion concluded, "was
the aggressor in the diflieulty and
wholly unjustified."
LOST BATH TUB
CHICAGO, Dec. 17—UP—Some-
one stole the bathtub that eight
families in an apartment building
use, but one of the tenants didn t
mind.
"1 don't know what happened to
the tub and 1 don't care." Robert
Cannon, 30, said. "It leaked and
the water dripped into my rooms."
Wounded Bandit
Sought Following
Dallas Robberies
DALLAS, Dec. 17—UP—A three-
state search was under w a y
Wednesday for a wounded bandit
charged in a string of drug and
grocery store robberies In Dallas.
Dallas police said William A.
Wetzel, 20, was the gunman in
three recent robberies which net-
ted a total of $2,807. Detectives
Capt. Will Fritz said Wetzel prob-
ably is suffering from head inju-
ries.
"We think he is somewhere be-
tween Dallas and Mississippi,"
Fritz said.
Charges against Wetzel and Har-
ry Noble, 30, a cousin of the late
Herbert ithe Cat i Noble, were
filed Tuesday. Wetzel was charged
with staging all three robberies
and Noble was charged with driv-
ing the getaway car in two of
them.
Both men, police said, took part
in the robbery of Skillern's drug
store Dec. 1 in which $1,607 was
taken and in the attempted robbery
of a Sa/eway store. Wetzel was
charged with robbing a Tom
Thumb grocery of $1,200 alone on
Nov. 26.
Police who arrested Noble at his
home in Dallas said the suspect
insisted he was innocent.
"1 was at home baby-sitting with
four kids at my mother's house
during those robberies," police
quoted Noble as saying. "I've got
witnesses and everything."
The gunman was injured w len
two men and a three-year-old boy
jumped him as he fled from the
Safeway store last Sunday. The
bandit dropped the money he had
stolen and his guns and fled.
Court Puts limit
On Loyally Oaths

The Supreme Court has drawn a
Boundary line beyond which states
may not go in requiring loyalty
oaths of public employes.

NEW ANDREWS WELL
DALLAS. Dec. 16—UP—Shell Oil
Company Tuesday announced that
its No. 1-A-l University wildcat,
eight miles south of Andrews in
Andrews county, West Texas, flow-
ed 51 gravity oil at a stabilized
rate of 152 barrels an hour.
The well flowed on a one-hour 45-
minute drillstem test of the El-
lenburger formation.
The flow was from perforations
between 12,575 to 12.600 feet. Gas
surfaced in eight minutes, mud in
24 minutes and oil in 25 minutes.
Gas-oil ratio was 428-to-l. On for-
mation, water was encountered.
for an 8 to 0 majority, ruled that
a person cannot be barred from
public employment merely because
he once joined an organization
later found to be subversive. The
important thing, Clark said, is: Did
the person know what kind of an
organization it was when he join-
ed it
The decision struck down as un-
constitutional an Oklahoma loyalty
oath which ignored this factor. The
case arose after seven teachers
were discharged May 21, 1951, from
Oklahoma A&M College at Stillwa-
ter because they refused to sign.
State Rep. William Shibley, au-
thor of the law, said at once that
he will prepare another bill to
meet the high court's objections.
