Reds fortify Taishan as naval strikes target Nanchishan
The Reds push to build up defenses on Taishan as Nationalist forces pound the Taishan group and nearby waters. Nationalists report submarine, gunboats, landing craft and junks sunk or damaged over four days. Taishan is 60 miles southwest of Nanchishan, near Formosa, with about 5,000 troops garrisoned. Evacuations from Tachens shift Communist forces toward Fukien coast, building guns and fortifications on the Matsu zone.

Yacht Goodwill Hard Aground Off Mexico
An SOS from the 500 ton yacht Goodwill reported grounding near Cedros Island off Baja California with Coast Guard rescue efforts from San Diego. A PBM flying boat relayed a plan to patch the vessel and aid those aboard, while observers noted calm waters on the sheltered side. The vessel, usually sail-powered with auxiliary power, was a spectacular sight as sails billowed and crew viewed as a cloud racing in toward Honolulu.

Dentist Vault Yields Jewel Robbery Loot
In San Francisco the safe of Dr. James Brumback yielded three packets of diamonds and other gems plus 160000 in cash from Friday’s $300000 wholesale jewel heist. Brumback and Adolph Bigarani were arrested, along with three other ex convicts, as investigators identified the fleeing gang that robbed Faul de Viles. Brumback claimed he acted as a friend’s dupe while Bigarani and accomplices faced charges of receiving stolen goods and conspiracy. Police noted the loot included old gold and cultured pearls and were aided by quick arrests Friday night.
