But they were maintaining strong pressure on the Pohang sector Monday night. --® In a despatch filed at mid- night Monday from Pohang, ® d h S AP Correspondent Tom Lambert { ar S 1p said that after having lost con- siderable ground, mileage undis- Rail Strike closed, the South Koreans edged back northward late Monday in By The Canadian Press Some remote communities are an attempt to lift the sagging virtually isolated by the railway strike but nobody so far is suffer- inf serious hardship, a Canadian Press survey shows. A few provinces are not affected at all in this way. The others have emergency trucking systems and airlifts to maintain the flow of es- sential foods and medicine to out- lying centres. In the case of Atikokan, deep in the Northern Ontario bush, striking railway employees okayed proposals for a "mercy train." There are no reports of isolation fn the Maritimes. Most communi- ties can be reached either by water or by highway. Scores of places in Northern Quebec, served exclusively by railroad, are cut off for the duration of the strike. In any emergency, local officials may ask help from the nearest rail- way superintendent who, in turn, calls on the local union representative to arrange re- lief. So far, railway officials said in Montreal, no such request has been made. Forty tons of food and other emergency supplies moved during the week-end from Port Arthur to Atikokan and other communities along the Canadian National Rail- ways line which have no highway outlet and no regular air facilities. An Ontario Hydro Commission airplane flew to Abitibi Canyon, a northeastern Ontario community where hydro employees reported a growing scarcity of food. Police in Ontario said they will be able to arrange for Provincial Government planes to make relief flights if necessary. A plane camy- ing meat, milk, bread and yéast was reported to have flown into Horne- payne, 65 miles southwest of Hearst. Ruto Workers Give $509 to Rail Fund Windsor, Aug. 28 (CP).--A grant of $500 in support of the striking rail unions was voted yesterday at a membership meeting of Local 200, United Automobile Workers (C.1.0.). The union, in line with a previous move by the parent U.AW. body, said it would also lend "moral sup- port" to the rail unions. The union voted to gain complete affiliation of its more than 11,000 membemship with the Ontario Fed- eration of Labor (C.CL.)

Lambert said the South Koreans had reached the southern edge of | a broad vallew leading towards Kigye, 10 miles northwest of Pohang, | but the Reds still held Kigye and were reported making new aggres- sive moves after dark Monday.

Aug. 28--(AP) --Two tropical storms -- one a full- blown hurricane and the other like- ly to become so -- caused anxiety along the Atlantic and Gulf Coast lines today. At the moment, how- ever, no coast is in danger. The Gulf storm -- hangover of a4 120-mile-an-hour hurricane -- gathered new power as it edged deeper into the Gulf of Mexico, after brushing Havana, Cuba. The Atlantic hurricane, third of the season, blew up far out at sea. Information on it is meagre. Ships reported it about 900 miles southeast of Puerto Rico but its speed and force were unknown. The Gulf storm was centred at 5:30 AM. EDT. 260 miles west of Havana and 150 miles north of the Yucatan Peninsula. It moved slow- ly toward the west-northwe..t. It was blowing winds up vo 70 miles an hour -- five miles shy of hurricane force. The weather bu- reau warned it would probably in- crease in intensity.

It added that three Russian- equipped armies, under Gen. Lin Piao, are "known to have crossed | the Yalu River last month." The Yalu is the boundary between North Korea and Man- churia. ; The ministry said the Chin- ese Reds are reported to have constructed "permanent" de- fence works along the Yalu.

U.S. to Tighten Controls, End Goods Leakage to Reds Some American experts on ic policy say that what the United States is faced with is economic warfare with the Communist countries.

The ministry of supply said the ore, in northern Wales, is of "ex- tremely low yield." The ministry hinted exploitation might not be feasible. The Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, however, said the ore is "in no way inferior" to deposits being worked by the Rus- sians in East Germany. The sci- entists calculated the ore would yield 80 grams (less than three ounces) a ton.

The government plans no further moves on its own before Parliament is scheduled to set up special machinery at its emergency session opening tomor- row, and today there were no indications of any among, the strikers and railroads. "Intervention by Parliament now is inevitable," a high Government authority said yesterday after Prime Minister St. Laurent had received a personal report from union heads on the collapse of new and final negotiations with the com- panies Saturday night. This informant said the Government would not inter- vene further in the strike before placing its urgent legisla- tion before Parliament, and that this had been made plain to the union chiefs in their Prime Minister. U.S. Reds Get 30-Day Stay From Prison New York, Aug. 28--(AP)--The U.S. Court of Appeals today revoked the bail of the 11 convicted Ameri- can Communist leaders and gave them 30 days to try to stay their jail terms. The order was in a 2-to-1 decision by the three-judge court. U.S.-Attorney Irving H. Saypol said the ruling in effect gave the Red leaders a 30-day stay of their | prison terms, During the time, he said, the convicted men may apply to the U.S. Supreme Court for a further stay of sentence pending determination of their case be- fore it. The Court of Appeals, at the same time, denied a petition by the Red leaders for a rehearing of their appeal. The 11 Communists were con- victed last fall of conspiring to ad- vocate violent overthrow of the U.S. Government. All but one of the 11 have been free in bail totalling $260,000 which would be continued for 30 days un- der the decision. | Eugene Dennis, general secretary |of the Communist Party, already lis serving a one year jall term on a separate conviction for contempt jof Congress, GEN.
