Navy, AF Blast Reds Near Russian Border
Seoul, Korea—(U.P.)—United States carrier fighter-bombers in their biggest air raid of the Korean war blasted four major Communist rail centers close to the Soviet and Manchurian borders, the U.S. Navy announced today.
The raid sent Navy planes farther north than any bombers ever have been during the Korean war. Some of the raiders swept as close as 15 miles to the Soviet Union border.
The fighter-bombers from the carriers Essex, Bon Homme Richard and Oriskanby of task force 77 yesterday blasted Hunyung, on the Tumen river, the most northerly point ever hit, Najin, 15 miles from the Soviet frontier, Hyesanjin and Musan also on the Tumen river.
Pantherjets, Skyraiders and Corsairs flying from the carriers in the Oriskany sea flew 252 sorties yesterday in blasting the key rail terminals in another blow against the Red transportation system.
One Corsair was lost. The pilot ditched his plane in North Korea, but was picked up by a helicopter
South Carolina Gives Segregation Defense
Washington — (U.P.)—South Carolina defended its segregated school system before the Supreme court today in an historic test of state's rights versus the rights guaranteed to Negroes by the U. S. Constitution.
The state, which already has taken preliminary steps toward abolishing its public schools if segregation is outlawed, was represented in the dramatic arguments by white-haired John W. Davis, the famed Constitutional lawyer who persuaded the court last year to strike down President Truman's seizure of the steel industry.
from the cruiser Los Angeles.
While the Reds still quaked from the pulverizing Navy raid, U.S.B-29 Superforts dromed to within five miles of the Manchurian border to slam tons of explosives on a military-industrial area at Yongpong.
On the ground the entire front was relatively quiet.
The B-29's met heavy anti-aircraft fire, powerful searchlights and Red night fighters as they swept over the important target.
The Navy said rail lines were destroyed and eight railroad repair buildings; two locomotives and 30 boxcars were wrecked.
No details were announced of the attack on Najim.
Paris—(U.P.)-Gen. Mathhew B. Ridgway said today the 50 Allied divisions now stationed in Western Europe are far short of the minimum necessary for defense against Communist aggression.
Allied Forces Inadequate, Ridgway Says
American Adm. Lynde D. McCormick, overall NATO naval commander in the Atlantic, said the massive "operation mainbrace" naval maneuvers in the Atlantic in the fall showed considerable progress toward assuring success in any new battle of the Atlantic.
Gen. Ridgway and Adm. McCormick made their reports to the chiefs
But, he emphasized, his Allied fleets need strengthening in face of Russia's reported fleet of 500 submarines builjt or building.

of staff of the 14 NATO countries. Gen. Ridgway, accompanied by his chief of staff American Gen. Alfred M. Gruenther, warned the chiefs of staff that the figure of 50 Allied divisions now ready to face a Russian attack is misleading.
Some of the 50 divisions actually are reserve divisions, Gen. Ridgway
Targets set at the Lisbon conference called for 25 divisions to be ready for instant action against any Russian thrust to the west. The other 25 were to be in specified states of readiness for combat within the 30 days after an attack.
