Aggressor Lines
By Charles CoroUry
UP Staff Correspondent
FORT BRAGG ((IP)) Two
battalions of U. S, forces
drove a salient two miles
deeper into “Aggressor” ter
ritory today and held strong
positions on high ground be
fore the invaders’ strong
hold at the western end of
the Fort Bragg reservation.
Tank and Infantry battalions of
the 82nd Airborne Division drove
across Oaddys Mountain; after sun
rise and established thea| forward -
most positions nine mltas west of
Bran, in the center of the Aggres
sor Una.
Aggressor, in accordance with
the maneuver scenario, had puUed
back from the strategic lull during
the night and now confronted the
82nd with apparently superior for
ces comprising airborne infantry
on the right flank ana tank units
on the left.
FORCES SWITCHED
These forces had been switched
before dawn to confuse the enemy
and a strong counter-attack was In
preparation at an important road
Junction west of Oaddys Mountain.
Aggressor air forces were pun
ishing the oncoming elements of
the 82nd. The 28th and 43rd Divis
ions, National Guard outfits from
Pennsylvania and New England,
moved forward on orders of the
ThM Army, eventually to replace
x Uie two Infantry
lons iKrtfck out too rapidly and
maneuver umpires directed Ag
gressor to smack their routes of
advance with air and artillery
strikes to force them back into
proper positions.
PRISONERS TAKEN

ing within a year. The pond area, bordering the north edge of Dunn at the end of Clinton Ave.,
covers 75 acres, with M acres underwater. Allowed to languish during the Twenties, the old mill
pond was bought three years ago by the Hanna firm, which then began io develop it. (Dally

Britain Handed Ultimatum
In Deadlocked Oil Disout
Beef Rollbacks
Mayße Ordered
WASHINGTON (®!) The govern
ment still may order some roll-'
backs In celling prices of fresh
beef, but might be forced to booat
prices of processed meat and pork.
Price stabilizer Michael V. Di-
Salle said yesterday that if the new
controls law permits any beef roll
backs, he will order them. The gov
ernment has estimated that beef
prices dipped slightly and all re
tail food prices dropped one per
oent during the last two weeks of
July.
What will happen to food prices
under the new law remains to be
seen. Defense Mobllizer Charles S.
Wilson said yesterday that there
may be a 10 per cent rise hi bread
prices, one cent a quart in milk, and
three cents on a dozen eggs.
WILL PEG PORK
The office of Price Stabilization
said it would issue mirk price reg
ulations by ‘ the end of Augifst
which will result in generally high
er retail celling prices.
DiSalle said he still has not de
termined If the new controls law
could mean some rollbacks as well
as Increases in beef celling prices.
The law prohibits further roll
backs In agricultural prices -below
90 percent of May 18 levels. This
did not affect the original average
10 per cent rollback In live cattle
prices. OPS has canceled two fur
ther rollbacks of 4tt per cent each
which were meant to give consum
ers an eight to 10 cents-a-pound
cut in beef prices by fall.
CAUSE or DROP
According to Bureau of Labor
Statistics, the drop in retail food
prices last month was caused most
ly by a 8A per cent decline in
prices of* fresh fruits and vege
tables.
Meantime, General Motors Corp.

TEHRAN (OB) lran handed
Britain a three-point ultimatum in
their oil dispute today as negotia
tors failed to break a deadlock.
Iran threatened to break aft the
oil talks unless her demands are

After meeting again today With
the Iranian delegation, chief Brit
ish negotiator Richard Stokes said
that “nothing has been accepted
and nothing rejected.”
DEMANDS ACCEPTANCE
Vice Premier Houssein Fateml
■aid Britain must accept these three
points:
1. Britain must buy oil from the
Iranian national oil company.
2. Iran will decide the amount of
compensation to be paid the Brit
ish-owned Anglo-Iranian Oil Co.,
whose nationalization by Iran led
to the present dispute.
3. British employes of Anglo-Ir
anian must remain 09 duty at the
huge refinery in Abadan.
Fateml said Britain's eight-point
memorandum for solving the oil
dispute, presented by Richard Stok
es Monday, covered only the pur
chase of oil.
Iranian officials emphasized the
ultimatum did not mean that Iran
had rejected Britain’s proposal*.
The two delegations still were
thrashing out disputed, points at
further meetings today.

DUNN, N. C., WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, AUGUST 15, 1951
Czech Aircraft
WiUßeßarred-,
WASHINGTON (KB) The United
States plans to bar Czechoslovakian
commercial planes from flying
over' tne American Zone of Ger
many, lt was learned today.
Such action would be the first
U. S. economic blow at Czechoslo
vakia in retaliation for the impris
onment of American newspaper
man William N. Oatis on spy
charges. ,
ACTION DELAYED
The House voted 363 to 1 yester
day to cut off all Amerlcan-Czech
trade until Oatis is released. The
resolution was sent to the Senate,
but action there is not expected to
several weeks.
The State Department hoped to
crack down even sooner. Czech air
line planes from Pargue fan out
over most of Western Europe, but
nearly all of them pass over West
ern Germany. If the air over Wes
tern Germany w»s barred to the
Czechs, their commercial airline
.service would be crippled.
RETALIATION EXPECTED
Czechoslovakia doubtless would
retaliate against American planes.
Pan-American airways Is the only
U. S. line flying Into Prague, but
apparently the government steels
that trying to help Oatis is worth
risking this route.
Oatis, a oorrespondent for the
Associated Press, was arrepted on
April 23 and was sentenced on July
4 to 16 years In prison. He was
accused of espionage, but the trial
showed that he did no more than
the normal duties of a foreign cor
respondent.

Lillington Woman Reports
On Life With Army Couples
Relations between Harnett citi
zens and soldiers stationed In the
county ’during Exercise Southern
Pine have generally been good, ac
cording to most of the available
evidence.
Newspapers and higher Army of
ficials have exchanged a number of
notes demonstrating the felicity
which exists between servicemen
and civilians. But few testimonials
have come from the people who
live close to the soldiers In this
county.
A number of Harnett residents
made room In their homes for Army
families who will be here during
the war games. Perhaps a number
of people less Intimately connected
with the out-of-State visitors have
wondered how Army wives and
husbands manage to fit in with
the customs and habits of this
County.

Matthew B. Ridgway’s radio had
broadcast a warning to Korea that
if the Reds choose war instead of
peace “their soldiers will be met
by the fury of the weapons of the
U. N. forces.”
The broadcast said that the U. N.

sion of “destroying or driving out
of Korea those forces which now
seek to deny the Korean people
their right of self-determiniation."
It emphasized that trorps will re

OTHER DEVELOPMENTS
Other developments included:
The Communists admitted for the
first time that Allied air and naval
bombardments were having a “de
finite amount of effect on our
military action.”
Vice Adm. C. Turned Joy sum
marily rejected a Communist pio
test that U. N. planes had violated
Kaesong neutrality agreements by
wouhding two members of the
Communist delegation and knock
ing out three of its trucks In an air
attack Monday.
Joy proposed appointment of
a committee to insure observance
of the neutrality of Kaesong and

reported violations.

Juice tSrrtie Eyes
Lightens Sentence
Twas the medicine the oculist
ordered, not the wine which Cecil 1
Bolton, Durham man, drank, that
put the sparkle In his eye, the de
fendant contended In Harnett Re
corder’s Court yesterday where he
was booked on driving under the
influence of intoxicants.
And when A. A. McDonald of
Durham, defense attorney, pro
duced the prescription for jvhat he
termed “the Juice for the eyes”.
Judge Floyd Taylor believed him.
Bolton, entering a plea of* guilty
to careless and reckless driving,
drew a fine of 550 and a cost on the
lesser offense.
Solicitor Neill Ross reluctantly ac
cepted the plea when lt was found
the State was unprepared for trial.
Through error, W. W. Porter. Wayne
County highwayman who made the
arrest, had been called to appear on
Aug. 38, while Bolton’s bond was
returnable yesterday.
HOME ON VISIT
McDonald described his client as
a native of Harnett who had come
home to vfcgt a sick father when
he was arrested by the patrolman,
also a visitor In the county. The
lawyer said his client readily ad
mitted having had a drink of win?
an hour or more before his arrest
but repqrted Bolton was now on
leave from the American Tobacco
Company in order to have his eyes
treated.
Other cases, largely uncontested,
were dispatched by the court before
noon in a session so speedy the
Judge was prompted to comment,
“Mr. Solicitor, it looks like you
have nothing left, to try but the
bondsmen and the janitor.”
