Communist Troops Might Be Getting
Short On Gasoline Officer Says
By HARRY FERGUSON
United Press Foreign News Editor
One or the host pieces of news
to come out of Korea in ,i long
time was made by an American
officer standing on a hilltop and
casually discussing the day's
fighting.
"I looked down the rond,” he
said, "and saw some- Communists
coming along in horse drawn ve-
hicles, You don 1 use horses in
this war if you have anything
else.”
He meant that the Communists
might l«- getting starved for gaso-
line. Nothing can bring a modern
army grinding to a halt quicker
than a fuel shortage.
It may be that the Koreans soon
will begin to pa> the military
penalty that goes with a rapid ad-
vance*— communication lines be-
come longer and more vulnerable
and the front line troops find that
gasoline, ammunition and food is
arriving at irregular and longer
intervals.
Food is not much of a problem
to the Korean Communists. They
use the same method thrt the
Japanese did in the last war. Each
soldier gets three days' lations—
usually a hag of rice—at the start
of a big push. After that, he is
mi his own. He is supposed to
live off the country as he ad-
vances. and there havt been fre-
quent reports from Korea that
the Reds have been confisticating
all the rice, grain and cattle in
the path of their advance.
Some Korean soldiers have been
| arming themselves In the same
v*-*y. They pick up American
guns and equipment on the battle
field. A United Press dispatch
fnnn (lie front says the Reds are
armed with all sorts of weapons
— American carbines, Hussiun ma-
cliine guns, Japanese rifles.
So it is possible that the Com-
munist army can go on living in-
definitely off of the Korean coun-
ts* side and weapons abandoned
by the Americans as they fall
back toward Pusan. But gasoline
is a different matter.
Without gas the Red tanks can't
run and without tanks the Com-
munists no longer could threw
those armoicd spearheads at the
American lines.
Here is the tough problem that
faces the Communist high com-
mand;
T h e i r armies have marched
about 200 miles from Pyongyang,
the capital of Communist North
Korea where most of the coun-
try's oil refineries and gasoline
depots are located. They have
come across the Han and Kum
rivers where the United States
An Force has been knocking out
bridges. Their fuel trucks have to
halt while a pontoon bridge is
thrown across the water. They no
longer can rely on capturing much
fuel because American command-
ers have handed down an order
that if a soldier is forced to aban-
don a truck or a jeep he must
drain the gas tank. T h e main
roads are under American air at-
tack, weather permitting, and the

Take Your Choice
Fitting around last Friday eve-
ning, the talk turned to the best
way of getting to sleep when it
aeem* you just ran't. “The way I
always do." says Sandy Johnson. “In
to breathe deep and make believe I
weigh a ton.”

When counting sheep came up,
right away wus the question: What
kind of sheep?
From where I ait, you could ar-
gue 'til Doomsday and never get
complete agreement on a lot of
things. Now, take me. I’m all for
having a glass of beer or ala on
occasion. Your ‘‘sociable beverage”
may be a "Coke"—or buttermilk or
maybe a cup of hot coffee.

w ould lie if we all did have the same

Machines Will
Keep Air Services
Alert On Weather
FORT WORTH, <UP)—Airports
and airlines now arc receiving
faster service and more variety
in weather reports from the Civil
Aeronautics Administration by use
of a recently-developed methoo
known as "SECO.”
Translated, that means ‘‘se-
quential control." It consists of
collection by remote control of
weather data from secondary
CAA stations around the country.
Basically, it means a CAA con-
trol station can start transmission
of a weathsr message automa-
tically from a teletypewriter ma-
chine that may be hundreds of
miles away. The machines almost
“think" it out.
C. D. Spencer, chief of the fix-
ed aeronautical communications
section of the fourth region, CAA,
terms it a major development. It
saves both time and inan power,
he said.
How it Works
Spencer explained the operation
like this:
The CAA regional office here
is a control station for 60 second-
ary offices in Texas and parts of
Oklahoma and New Mexico. Ail
are connected by teletypewriters
and each sends hourly weather
messages to Fort Worth, which
in turn distributes them country-
wide.
The “SECO" system means that
each of the 60 stations follow in
sequence in sending their mes-
sages. When the time comes to
gather in the message- the Fort
Worth office has a previously
prepared tape in which call let-
ters of the various stations are
perforated.
If, for example, the Amarillo,
Texas, station comes first in the
sequence, the Fort Worth office
starts the tape through the trans-
mitter of its machine, which taps
out the letters “AMA," and then
stops.
All of the stations on the line
receive the "AMA” call letters.
But only the machine in Amar
illo is started by them.
All Under Control
The particular combination of
letters starts transmission of the
weather message from the Amar-
illo machine. That is done by
means of sensitive mechanical
"selector” units in both secondary
and control offices. The units re-
act only to certain combinations
for their particular office.
When the Amarillo message is
ended, the Fort Worth office re-
peats the procedure for another
station.
Spencer explained that the
Amarillo operator, for example,
prepares in advance his weather
message, perforating the tape and
placing it in the machine trans-
mitter, ready for the Fort Worth
control point to start it through
at the proper time.
Under the old system, the oper-
ator at secondary points stood by
their machines awaiting the "go"
ahead” signal. When it was giv-
en, they started transmission from
their end.
Time saved by the new method
enables operators at secondary
stations to devote attention to
other duties It also makes room
for additional weather messages
on the line.
Eventually, CAA hopes to ex-
tend the method to all of its tele-
typewriter circuits in this country.

Father's Promise Is
Kept In Death
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. <UP>.—
Five-year-old Leon Worthington,
Jr., had his Christmas in July.
He received only one present, a
gift from the father whose funeral
he had attended the day before.
Little Leon—Buster, they call
him—might not have understood,
his mother said. But she wanted
him to have the bicycle now.
Leon, Sr., had bought it for
Buster to have next Christmas. It
was being kept at the home of a
neighbor.
Then the elder Worthington
took his two sons on a picnic.
They went boat riding. The boat
overturned and Worthington was
drowned while saving the lives of
Buster and a nine-year-old broth-
er.
Mrs. Worthington said her hus-
band had bought the older boy a
bicycle and he had promised Bus-
ter one this year.
She said she gave the bicycle to
Buster because the boy ought to
know that his father had it for
him, just as he had promised.
Reds have begun moving their
supplies at night.
Nothing is so useless as a thirs-
ty tank or ammunition truck. Tbe
Korean Communists have proven
themselves good fighters with
morale. But unless they can solve
their supply problem quickly they
are going to become a horse
