Tokyo, Nov. 26. Communist forces tore a seven-mile hole in General MacArthur's lines and by tonight had a quarter of his at- tacking troops in full' retreat.

They seized the key town of Tokchon and flung two South Korean divisions back 12 miles. The South Korean 2nd Corps, 20,000 to 25,000 strong, was reported to be retreating. A spokesman called the situation "grave."

North Sea Collision

Southend, Nov. 20. ·· The captain of the 1,661-ton Norwegian ship Selnes ordered his crew to take to the boats in dense fog tonight off the coast of Essex, South-East England.

Earlier tonight the ship was badly holed on the starboard side in a collision with the 8,424-ton Ellerman Line vessel City of Bristol,

The Southend lifeboat, guided by tho 1,598-ton British coaster Wimbledon, was grop- ing through the fog towards the Norwegian vessel.

Half an hour before giving the order to abandon ship the Master of the Selnes signalled that his position was "perilous".

UNWED BUT

ENTITLED

TO HOUSE

London, Nov. 26.

An Englishman's home is his castle even if he's living in sin.

The Town Council at Beeston, Nottinghamshire, has ruled that an unmarried couple has as much right to a Government- licensed home as a man and woman whose union has been blessed by the clergy.

The ose arose when a branch of the Amalgamated Engineer- ing Union protested about an unmarried couple with a four year old child who had been allocated home by the Town Council. The Union said that housing priority should be given only to married couples.

The Council ruled otherwise by a vote of 13 to four it said: "Although privately we do not agree with people who are not married living together, as a Council we recognise. their need can be just as real that of a married couple. We would have по justification' whatever in turning them out of the house which has been granted them."
