Across the Thames the festooned Tower Bridge casts a glow. Beyond that are the twinkling lights of London. And, nearer are the new lights of London—seen by a London Daily Express' cameraman 300 feet up. The Big Dipper of the Fun Fair is in the right foreground zurrounded by the dazzle of tho Fale. Firework comels, with magnificent talis, 'are flying in on it v.m., display. And in the centre are the myriad lights that were added recently those of the Festival Pleasure Gardens.

PYONGGANG FALLS TO UN FORCES Great Tactical Victory
Tokyo, June 14.
Two powerful United Nations task forces smashed through Pyonggang on Wednesday cap- turing the last remaining bastion of the Com- munist iron triangle. It was the greatest tactical victory scored by the Eighth Army since the Chinese entered the war last October.
A United Press correspondent reporting from fallen Pyonggang said the tank-led Allied columns, under a daylong air umbrella of fighter bombers, met surprisingly little resistance.
He said the twin task forces' rumbled through the town and then withdrew.
Wresting Pyonggang from the Reds now gives the Allies corTE plete control of a valisy and plateau area the size of Delaware and Rhode Island and deprives the Communists of the assembly base from which they have launched three Invasions of: South Korea."
Pyonggang, the apex of the Chorwon - Kumhwa - Pyonggang. iron triangle, is 28 miles north of the 38th Parallel,
The UP correspondent said that Pyonggang was a completely
shattered "ghost town" deserted by soldiers and civilians alike. "There was not Eving soul in town," he added.
