on a holiday week-end.With his wife and daughter Edith, he was visiting friends at nearby Riviere Beaudette when he suffered a stroke in mid-afternoon.With Sunday night off, he had been due back tonight at his desk at the Montreal Gazette, where as telegraph editor for the last two years he selected and edited the world news report that pours in to a metropolitan daily.Col.Jennin-gs divided his career between newspaper work and war service.Just two years after starting as a reporter in his native Saint John, N.B., he enlisted in 1914 with the Canadian field ¦artillery, winning his commission overseas in 1917.He returned to the Saint John Evening Times - Globe and its morning counterpart, the Telegraph-Journal, after the war.He was successively news editor, assistant editor, managing editor and editor-in-chief of the two daily papers, holding the latter position for 10 year.s In 1943, he left to become director of public relations for the army.There he worked under J.W.G.(Joe) Clark, director-in-chief of the tri-service public relations, in the exacting job of helping the Canadian people get all the war news that would not prejudice security.He later was chief of War Assets Corporation\u2019s public relations before joining the Gazette.A meticulous reporter and editor, he first became known to thousands of New Brunswick newspaper readers when he orgi-nated the \u201cMan on the Street\u201d column\u2014still a daily feature in the Evening Times-Globe.In the periods between wars, he kept in close touch with all military developments and was active in the Reserve Army.He was one of nine children, members of a prominent family in Saint John where his mother still resides.A brother, Most Rev.E.Q.Jennings, is Roman Catholic Bishop of Kamloops, B.C., and another brother, M.Wallace Jennings, is president of the Alberta wheat pool.Three other brothers and three sisters live in Saint John.Funeral services will be held at Saint John.Arrangements have not yet been completed.Still Outnumbered, Americans Yield Important Southern1 Anchor Only 55 Miles From Pusan.Tokyo, July 31\u2014vT' \u2014 Fresh and powerful American forces, direct from the United Stales, landed in South Korea today.They arrived as Chinju, the important southern allied anchor, fell to the surging Reds.Chinju is 5 5 miles west of Pusan, vital U.S.supply port! on the southeast coast.The North Korean communists hit the American and t South Korean defenders of Chinju in force Monday morning.Then they went right into Chinju.Associated Press correspondent Hal Boyle reported from ! the front that the allied defenders were in the heights and ;

list China\u2019s role in the Asian con-! filets.They began talking immediate-j ly after lunch at Chiang\u2019s moun-, tain retreat outside of Taipei.Nature of the conversations was not disclosed.An informed source, however, said Chiang was expected to renew his offer of 33,000 Chinese nationalist troops to fight in Korea.Chiang also was expected to press for a more active role in his war against the Chinese Reas.Chiang was expected to tell MacArthur of nationalist China\u2019s needs for arms and ammunition, spare parts and new planes for his air force and stronger naval units.In Toyko, MacArthur\u2019s headquarters said only that the visit to Formosa was mads in connection with President Truman's order to protect the big nationalist island from a Chinese communist invasion.The Reds had massed large fleets and tens of thousands of troops along the China coast 100 miles west of Formosa.An invasion was expected momentarily when North Korean Reds touched off a war in the Orient and President Truman drew his historic line protecting Formosa.When MacArthur\u2019s plane, the Bataan, set down at rain-swept Sunghan airfield outside Taipei, Chiang and a host of nationalist leaders greeted him warmly.The General strode toward Chiapg\u2019s waiting limousine, patting the nationalist president again and again on the shoulder.Seated between the Generalissimo and Madame Chiang, MacArthur was taken to Chiang's mountain retreat.+ _____________________ * Bru.-.-els, July 31.\t(P' King | Leopold today said he is prepared J to delegate temporarily his Royal I powers to his 19-(year-old son, i Prince Baudouin.\t< The announcement was made !
