(U>) A spec.al I House armed services subcommit tee recommended 4 to 2 today that a new Air Force troop carrier base be located at the Raleigh-Durham airport in North Carolina. The two-man minority recom mended against Raleigh-Durham. and said the base should be located instead at the Seymour-Johnson Field at Goldsboro, N. C. A recommendation by the full committee was delayed, probably for several weeks, until Rep. Carl T. Durham, D., N. C., who ,s ill, can be present. The Air Force has said it must have a base for two troop carrier wings somewhere in the vicinity of Fort Bragg, N. C. The Air Force originally selected Raleigh-Durham, and asked authority to spend $33,- 000,000 there to develop the base.

Miller UP Staff Correspondent BTH ARMY HQ., Korea—(HP))— Reinforced Reds stopped the Allied offensive cold in Eastern Korea today and threw South Korean forces off two important hills in savage counter-attacks. The Reds had rushed reserves and supplies south to the battleline dur ing the night in their biggest truck convoy—more than 3,400 vehicles — since the abortive enemy spring | offensives in April and May. An Bth Army spokesman report ed that Communist counter- at tacks and stubborn resistance had stalled a four-day-old U.N. offen sive all along a 25-mile front stretching frpm above Yanggu on the east-central front almost to the east coast near Kansong, 27 miles, north of the 38th Parallel. The reinforced Reds hurled four battalions —up to 3,200 men—soon after dawn against two hills north of Yanggu captured by South Ko rean forces only Monday. By 7:30 p. m. (4:30. a.m. EST), the spokesman said, trie Reds had driven the South Koreans from both heights. Fighting throughout the area was “extremely heavy” all day, he said. CLING TO HILLS Farther east, the Communists clung determinedly to hills and ridgelines west of Kansong despite land, sea and air bombardments and determined infantry attacks. The spokesman said the South Ko reans made no progress in the area.

Jahmsut (Eh# Baihj Tjitmrfr By Peter Kalischer UP Staff Correspondent PEACE CAMP, Korea (OP))—A United Nations spokesman today hinted that Moscow is dictating the Reds’ refusal to compromise a s the armistice subcommittee spent two more hours in deadlocked debate. Hope of an agreement was fading fast, but the subcommittee ar ranged a sixth meeting for 11 a.m. tomorrow (8 p/ m. EST). It spent more than half of today’s session over Allied-supplied maps in a fruitless effort to find a mutually acceptable cease-fire line. Vice Adm. U. Turner Joy, chief U. N. truce negotiator, conferred with supreme U. N. commander Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway in Tok yo on the worsening situation, then flew back to his headquarters at this base camp. PARALLEL DISPUTE The Chinese Communist radio said earlier today that there would be no armistice unless the U. N. agreed to a cease-fire line along the 38th Parallel, pre-war frontier of North and South K.orea. The Allies have refused to accept the parallel on grounds that it contains no natural defenses in which the U. N. could make a stand if an Armistice agreement collaps ed. Th* Allies want the cease-fire line along the present battlefront, which runs 30 miles north of the parellel in the east, but are will ing to compromise. Brig. Gen. William Nuckols, of ficial U.

The Mc- Lambs were among 70 persons aboard a chartered British Over seas Airways Corporation strato cruiser which made a non-stop flight from New York City to Lon don. All others aboard the luxur ious air liner were also members of Jehovah’s Witnesses or the Watchtower Society. The plane was one of seven chartered ships which left New York every day for a week carrying, delegates to the same meeting. “It was jny ..first plane trip and I felt brave, at least to myself” smiled Mrp,‘, MqLamb., So she was delighted with the' smooth sailing the ship, encoiihtered, so favorable that no refuellng'stops were made in Ireland and the ship never landed DUNN, N. C., TUESDAY AFTERNOON, AUGUST 21, 1951 Cotton Group Seeks Action . WASHINGTON (IP) Southern congressional leaders went to Sec retary of Agricultuie Charles F. Brannan today to discuss possible steps to boost sagging cotton prices. Sen. Burnet R. Mayoank D-.SC, chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, was the leader. Sens. Allen J. Ellender p-La„ Richard B. Russell D-Ga., and others' were expected to attend. Officials feel Brannan will agree to “all reasonable stepo' to protect cotton growers’ prices. They said a boosted support level is unlikely, but that Brannan “lias under seri ous consideration” a government stock pile proposal. This would have the government buy cotton at going market prices and stockpile it to bolster pi ices. The department so far has only bought commodities on the open market to bring prices up to the support level, not to shoot tnern above it.

Rain fell, but not at the hour to dis turb the meetings which were con ducted in the Empire’s area, site of the 1949 Oylmpic games.

Appointment of Manning to the city’s top post took place last night at 'an executive session of the city boatd which followed the public meeting. Tilayor Ralph E. Hanna said this morning that the commissioners voted unanimously for the popular local resident. Commissioner R. G. Tart nominated Manning and Commissioner Leek Coats second ed the nomination. Appointment o f Mr. Manning ended a long search for a city manager. Manning was selected ov er a long list of applicants for the post. NATIVE OF ALABAMA The new city manager, a native of Clanton, Alabama, first came Ito Dunn in 1935 to serve as agri culture instructor at the Plain View High School in neighboring Sampson County. He served there for two years and then held the same spot for four years in the. Dunn School, making an except ionally fine record.

For a few years after the war, he edited and published the Southern Refrigeration Journal, a publica tion devoted to the frozen food in dustry. The rising cost of printing papers and other difficulties—to gether with his desire to return to Dunn —influenced him to sell this business about two years ago. At present, he holds a position with the Dixie Canner Company. In this position, he has been in con stant contact with many big in dustries institutions and govern mental units. Captain Manning made an out standing record in the Army and his duties as an administrative of ficer provided him with an ex cellent background fog- his new post.
