Tokyo, Apr. 4.
Massed artillery blasted Chinese Communist defences last night after a day of general United Nations advances all along the Korean front.
It was the most active day's fighting of the last 10 days.
The guns used batteries of floodlights beamed at the clouds to light up targets on the hillsides. North-east of the big shoot United Nations troops advanced towards the Parallel against heavy Communist defensive fire.'

CONTESTS JUDGE'S FINDINGS IN CLAIM
AGAINST GOVT.
George
A former Hongkong civil servant, Stacy Kennedy-Skipton, brought an appeal before the Chief Justice Sir Gerard Howe and Mr Justice Scholes at the Supreme Court this morning against the decision of Mr Justice Gould who struck out his claim against the Government for balance of arrears of salary and rent allowance, and for a declaration that the Governor was ultra vires in purporting to dismiss him as from February 11,- 1942.
.. Kennedy-Skipton was represented by Mr Charles Loseby KC, and Mr Brook A. Bernacchi (instructed by Messrs C.A.S. Russ and Stewart).
The respondent (defendant in the original claim) was the Attorney-General for whom Mr A. Hooton, acting Solicitor-General, appeared.
The grounds of appeal were: 1. That the Judge was wrong in holding that Kennedy Skipton's statement of claim revealed no cause of action and that the action should be dis missed even pellant not been want

COMMENT OF THE DAY
A Boost To Causeway Bay
was
Tis hardly surprising that the slight i-measure of public enthusiasm stirred by the declared intention of Govern- ment to make a start on the Causeway Bay reclamation scheme for recreational purposes has gained marked stimula- tion as the result of the magnificent contribution voted by members of the Hongkong Jockey Club. What vague, glimpsed dimly in the shape of things to come, without very clear indications of precisely what, of when or why, has, by reason of the Jockey Club's gesture, blossomed into a highly attractive project which, not less impor- tant, we are entitled to expect to go. ahead rapidly, with few permissible excuses for procrastination. If there is a need at all, and the scheme is officially described as filling a long-felt want, it is urgent, and an addition of two and a half million dollars to the Financial Secretary's provision compels. the assumption that it will not be left lying idle to fall into harmony with a previously conceived work schedule. Time must naturally be expected to elapse before the wheels actually begin to turn, but when that stage has been reached, sharp acceleration, should be the order. Before the present typhoon shelter can be filled in, of course, construction of a new one deeper into the harbour is essential, but equally necessary is an attitude of Get On With The Job. There is, of course, a con- dition attached to the Jockey Club's generosity, in the public woal. It to a condition, however, with which there cần be no quarrel. The contribution has been made, to ensure that the réclamation will be retained as an open, space for the beneit of the community. for all time; In other word there shall be none of those foakdious-
ments which have disfigured and circumscribed "lungs" in other parts of the Colony. What is not quite so clear is the extent of the prohibition envisaged by members of the Jockey Club. One feature of the plan outlined by the Financial Secretary contemplates the allocation of playing fields' to Queen's College, newly built close by. Would that be barred? The figure of $2,500,000 caused many thoughts to dwell on whether or not it would be adequate to meet the cost of a sports stadium capable of seating. 80,000. Would this fall outside the bounds? As a proposition, it is highly attractive, partly because the absence, of such a stadium is a sad reflection on the Colony in this modern age, partly because it could be so designed that no more than ten acres would be required, and largely because it would be a public stadium and would earn revenue far in excess of the votes required for the care and maintenance of the rest of the recreational facilities. And if the public view of the lay-out of the reclamation. should be consulted, the Government would certainly find that some part of the area, preferably that bounding the sen, should be arranged as an offshoot of the Botanical Gardens, enticing to. evening strollers. It is perfectly true that other schemes for stadiums are in being, but capital qutlay must be heavy indeed, and no scheme is likely to go forward unless the Government is pre- pared to invest public funds of the order of $2,000,000 or more. It shoulik hardly be necessary to argue lengthily that #publia atadidim should.
