Tanks. Tmps Are Serious Threai igaegu '

, By Rclman -Morin

TOKYO. Sept. 5 -(Tuesday) - (AP)-A column of North Korean tanks and troops swung west today toward Taegu. seeking to exploit a deep penetration at the northeast corner of the United Nations" de- ience wall.

Leif Erickson. Associated Press correspondent, said the Reds were four miles northwest of Kvongju. a highway to the ports of Pohang and Pusan. The precise location of the column was not pinpointed but Kyongju is 35 miles almost due east of Taegu.

Taegu is the advanced American supply base and the kingpin of the United Natlens' defences. This new threat was made possible when the Reds Monday crumbled the positions of the South Korean Capital Division south of Kigve and sent out two prongs. one for an advance of 12 1-2 miles to the outskirts of Kyongju. Kigye is nine miles inland from Pohang.

In the Kyongju vicinity. the Reds not only are in position to drive westward on Taegu but to out- ilank American and South Korean forces who still hold the east anchor port of Pohang-if-they have the power to follow up.

MIAMI, Fla., Sept. 4 - (AP) - Northwest Florida braced ltself to- night fcr a. "baby" Lroplcal storm which had suddenly cast off its swaddltng attire and grown to a small but dangerous hurricane with 115-mile-an-hour winds.

The little twister, which had an- noyed the entirc Florida west coast with 30 to 50-mile-a.ri-hour winds last night and early today. was cx- pected to strike the mainland to- night in the Apalachee Bay area. about 50 miles south of the state capital oi Tallahassee.

Navy urricane-hunter planes In- vestigat rig the squall baby early this afternoon found it had regen- erated into a storm with 100-milc- an-hour winds. whirling around a still ill-defined centre with gusts up to H5 miles an hour.

I-Iurricanc fcrecasters, meanwhile. were keeping an anxious eye. on a monstrous tropical storm some 050 miles east southeast of Miami in the Atlantic.

The hurricane. beginning to move slowly in I northwesterly direction. contained 160 - mile - an - hour or greater winds around its swirling vortex and spread hurricane-force winds 200 miles in diameter. Gale- force winds fanned out 400 miles in diameter. '

"This is a mighty hurricane," 1 forecaster commented. "It is easily classed with the great hurricanes that caused disasters in 1026 and

1923.

Compulsory

Compulsory 1.r.a-lnirig in the de- fence forces of the Dominion as the "only sane. efficient and demo- cratic system which will enable Canada to place a trained force quickly in the field for ,its defence. and the discharge of those obliga- lions which real upon us by virtue of our partnership in the Empire," was advocated in a strongly

"worded resolution passed at the

annual meeting of the Provincial Command of the Canadian Legion last night.

Noting the assurance given by the Federal Government that it is not advisable to send any of the small permanent army to Korea, and that both political and milit- ary leaders state it will take at least six months to train the Special Brigade now being raised to join the forces of the United States in Korea. the resolutions adds: "This should be sufficient to impress our people that Canada is sorely in need of adequate trained forces ready for any emergency."

The resolution quotes the words of the late Colonel J. L. Ralston in l048, to the effect that "our Dominion is no longer an isolated country. but one oi the Middle Powers as it is within sixty hours flying from any part of the world": also the statement oi General Crerar, Commander of the Canadian Army in 1946: "Only by adoption of compulsory univer- eel military training 1 peace will this country ever ' cases: the practical potential in armed forces

He declined to speculate whether it also would be possible to pro- duce si "auperman."- but condeded there is a theoretical chance of breeding biggar human beings by adding a-dash of colchicine.

The Swedish scientists add a weak solution of colehicinc to the sperm Just before artificial inninisiawn of the mother rabbit. The chromos- omes are the small bodies in each germ cell which carrythc hereditary characteristics of the species. The result is an infant rabbit which outgrown the mother in three to four months.

Huge Hurricane In Atlantic 950 Miles From Florida Coast

"We're keping an awfully sharp eye on this great storm."

A navy hurricane hunter flew into the outer fringes of the storm but for safety's sake, stayed away from its centre. The navy plane reported it was still 100 miles from the "eye" and encountering violent hurricane force winds.

Until mid-afternoon the gulf storm was pooh-pcoed by hurri- cane-wise Floridians as a nuisance. It had brushed the coastline, fell- ing a few power and utility lines. knocked off some palm fronds but otherwise did little damage.

It had forced cancellation oi a number of Labor Day activities disrupted picnic plans and made fishing an 1 possibility. In one in- stance, it ac ually had helped. cit- rus growers were delighted with the rains the squall wave brought, which in many cases materially helped crops.

Tile threatened area is one oi the least populated in the state.

Apalachicola, C a r r a b c lie, st Marks, and Cross City are theionly coastal communities of any size in the present path of the storm. and all of these are small.

Tallahassee, mindful oi I. similar storm in 1941 which snapped limbs off giant oak trees sending them into rooftops, automobiles and streets. was boarding up and tying down all looseequtpmcnt. The pic- turesque.state capital has a perm- anent pcpulation of about 19.000.

and the recent statement by Field Marshal Mon-tgomery that "in the hand of strength lay the keys of -peace."

other resolutions adopted at the meeting included the following.

Carferry Operation

"W-here'a.s the main artery con- necting thvis Province with the mainland has been cut for over a week, due to or strike amongst the Canadian National Railway Com- pany employees.

"And whereas this artery has been provided by the Dominion Government in fulfillment of the terms of Confederation.

D. V. A. Medical Officer

"Whereas there will be a per- manent appointment before long to the position of D.V.A. medical officer for P. E. 1., the Provincial Command of the Canadian Legion urges that this appointment be made on a full time basis and that his powers be widened from that of merely executive work to that of investigation of patlents' previ- ous histories. supervision oi treat- ment and . 1 1'-mu to the Pensions Commission."

Universal Conscription

land seed Katahdins being ship- ,ped- to Uruguay. South America in response to the tenders sub- mitted by the Seed Distribution Service of that country lplleared slim last night as it was learned authoritatively that New Brunswick dealers were grossly undcrquollng the prices of Island tic-alers.

Last week Uruguay submitted tenders for 100.000 sacks of certi- fied Katahd-Ina and 60.000 sacks of Pcntiacs. The only provinces ex- pected to be interested in the transactions were New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island:

At least one New Brunswick dealer quoted a price oi 52.10 a hundred weight delivered in Am- erican lunds or about 31.91 in Canadian money. Prices quoted by Island dealers ranged'fram about 52.95 to 33.15 per cwt. i American money and in some can a probably higher or lower than these fig- ures.

Island d'ealers interviewed last night could not explain how any dealer could. quote such low prices as 32.10 a cwl... delivered. As it costs more than 51.00 a cwt. to ship the potatoes to South Am- erica they figure that the New Brunswick grower can not be re- ceiving more than 35 cents a bushel for seed Katahdlns.

Vlairiora Puzzled

Two British Columbia men. Mr. L. Gilmore. chairman of the 13. C. Coast Vegetable Board and the biggest farmer in that pro- vince and Mr. C. H. Bradbury. Manager of the Northern Certi- fied Seed Co-operative Association were at a loss to understand how the potato farmers here lived when told of the conditions un- der which the farmer works.

Both men arrived in the Pro- vince last night after the long plane flight from B.C. which started at four o'clock Sunday af- ternoon. Mr. Bradbury is mak- ing a study of the distribution and sale of seed in the Maritime: and Mr. Gilmore plans to discuss

Worker's Paradise

BOSTON. Sept. 4 '-(AP) -Lab- or Secretary Maurice Tobin said today the Russian worker has to tail five to seven times as long as the American worker to buy the same amount of food.

"Yet the Communists would have us believe that their country is a worker's paradise." he told a Labor Day rally of the Central Labor Union.

Tobin cited this comparison, he said, to show that American work- ers "enjoy the benefits of social and economic well-being" while "all that Communism can offer workers is slavery and chains."
