Two North Korean planes struck back in a retaliatory raid on American and South Korean positions, field dispatches said Tuesday. B-29 Superforts ripped holes in a network of 12 to 15 strategic railroad bridges used to move Communist troops and supplies to bat-tlefronts.

New Johnsonville Plant May Be Finished Sooner Than Expected MEMPHIS, July 25 The TVA's multi-million dollar new Johnsonville steam generating plant may be finished before engineers expected. Hendon R. Johnston, plant con struction superintendent, told the engineers club here that foundations on four of the plant's six units are virtually complete.

And Johnston said the estimated dates of completion have been advanced. The new dates: first unit, Oct. 1, 1951; second, Dec. 1, 1951; third, Feb. 1, 1952; fourth, May 1, 1932; and fifth and sixth, sometime in 1953.

The plant will be the second largest steam electric generating station in the world. Use of nitrogen is strongly rec ommended by U-T Extension Serv ice specialists in keeping Tennessee green. Nitrogen will increase yields of grass seeds, make denser sods, and prove a big factor in controlling water runoff.
