Good Samaritans Finish Job
A few months ago, just at to
bacco planting time, farmer Per- i
non Jackson of Dunn, Rt. 5, was i
taken 111 and had to be admitted to :
Duke Hospital in Durham. Since 1
too few people were left on the ;
Jackson farm to set out the young i
tobacco plants, the ailing farmer’s i
friends pitched in and set out the ,
shoots.
When barning time rolled around
and Jackson was still incapacitat- i
ed, his friends and neighbors 1
wouldn't rest with a Job half-done. 1
They pitched in again last week, ,
this time to harvest and bam
Jackson's money crop. Shown in I
the photo above are part of the i
helpers others were still in the 1
field gathering the green leaves :
when the picture was taken.

Hinders Search
For Victims
SEATTLE, Wash. OB The
welted remains of a B-50 bomber
that crashed Into a frame apart
ment house killing at least 11 per
sons and injuring 12 others, barred
firemen today from searching for
additional victims.
Estimates of the number of dead
■till in the wreckage ranged as
high as “20 to 30”—the number of
tenants unaccounted for. But R. B.
Rogers, assistant fire cries, said:
“We estimate that there shouldn’t
be more than five to seven bodies
still in there.”
SEARCH POSTPONED
The search, however, was post
poned last night when the heat of
the debris and metal In the charred
rubble kept firemen from approach
ing close to the white-hot core of
the wreckage.
Half of the three-story. 49-unit
building was destroyed when the
big bomber—it* wings perpendicu
'lar to the ground—grased a nearbv
brewery’ then crunched into the
apartment house.
An Instant later, 4,000 gallons of
high-test gasoline burst Into flame,
Fire licked across the roof and then
the whole construction roared Into
blaze. "
Frenzied residents dashed from
their apartments to escape the
flames and crumbling wood.
One woman, hanging out her
wash on the roof, waa knocked 25
feet into brush behind the building
by the impact.

He gave no estimate as to when
this possible Increase would occur.
Wilson warned that the nation’s

“greater than ever.”

PEACE CAMP, susa-W)
The two top United Nations
commanders said today that
the Communists either can
accept a cease-fire line bitt
ed on the present front or
fight it out on the battle
field.
Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway, su
preme U.N. commander, said in To
kyo the 38th Parallel cease-fire line
which the Reds demand is indefen
sible and his soldiers had learned
that fact In meeting two enemy
offensives.
“How could anyone expect us to
go back to the same damn line
again?" Ridgway asked.
“FINE AND FIT”
Lt. Gen. James A. Van Fleet,
commanding the Bth Army, which
will engage the Communists if the
war starts again in full fury, said
in a brief dramatic interview at
this advance base that his men are
"fine and fit” and ready for any
eventualities.
“The enemy is in bad shape,” Van
Fleet said. “He is suffering, he is
hurt and he needs peace.”
Maybe, he commented, the Bth
Army and the Air Force will have
to break the present deadlock In
; cease-fire negotiations.
On the 14th day of deadlock chief
Communist delegate Gen. Nam II
