Slam-Bang Senate '
Scrap Only Holiday
Election in Nation :
By The =~ssociated Press -
A slam-bang primary battle for
e U. S. Senate seat will be put up
to Okalahoma Democrats tomor
row in the nation’s only Inde
pendence Day election.
On-the-scene political observ
ers are looking for a close count
between 73-year old Senator El
mer Thomas and. 48-year old Rep.
Mike Monroney for the Democra
tic Senatorial nomination. There
are five other entries and if no
one gets a majority, there will be
a run-off july 25. £
National attention is focused on
the Oklahoma election party be
cause it's a holiday affair and
partly because of the vigor of the
campaigning.
Thomas, who has served in the
Senate since 1927 and is chairman
of its Agriculture committee, crea
ted a stir last year by complain
ing that Sweden had snubbed vis
itmg senators. Monroney, who has
sepved six terms in the House, won
a mational award for his part in
winning passage of the congress
onal reorganization act.
Thomas and Monroney have
sharply questioned each other’s
ttitude on farm questions, and
‘he issue of public vs. private pow
r has been a warm one. Monroney
‘orces have accused Thomas' of
)locking some of the government’s
ural electrification projects,
vhereas Thomas says he is one
of the original REA backers.
There are some signs that the
Truman administration = would
prefer Monroney over Thomas,
but !goth are reglz_n'ded as follow
ers of President Truman on major
issues.
GOP Primary
Oklahoma Republicans also will
be nominatinfi tomorrow. The
Rev, William H. Alexander, pastor
of an Oklahoma City Christian
Church, and Raymond H. Fields
of Guthrie appeared to be the
main ¢ontenders for the senatorial
homination.
The Oklahoma balloting starts
off a month that will see some
other furious political action.
Sou}h Carolina voters go to the
polls July 11 to decide the Demo
gratie genatorial nomination be
tween Senator Olin D. Johnston
and Gov. J. Strom Thurmond, who
headed. the states right ticket in
the 1948 presidential election. * ~
The administration hasn’t much
1o choose from in this battle, since
it has developed into something of
a contest over who can say the
most damaging things about many
of President Truman’s proposals,
including the civil rights program.
The politicians all think James
F. Byrnes, jr., Truman’s former
Secretary of state. who has turned
against the administration’s pro
gram, will grab the Democratic
nomination for governor. Repub
licans don’t put up much of a fight
in South Carolina, so Democratic
nominees are considered as good
as elected.
Senator Russell long of Louis
fana is up for Democratic renom
ination in a July 25 primary which
also ineludes contests for the U.
S. Heuse.
Connecticut Democrats will
nominate in a state convention
July 28-29, with Senator William
Benton making a bid for the re
maining two years of the term to
which he was appointed.

Senator George Summons Writers
For Official Look At Excise Cut
WASHINGTON, July 3.— (AP) —Senator George (D.-
Ga.) called Senate tax writers together today for their
first official look at the $1,010,000,000 excise tax reduc
tion voted by the House.
In advance of tke closed-door meeting George told a re
porter he did not contemplate any changes in the measare
as passed by the House, although he suggested that other
members of the Finance Committee might have some in
mind. George is chairman of the group.
The Georgia Senator also com
mented in_ reply to a question that
he sees nothing in tthe Korean
situation at present which might
delay Senate action on the bill.
“Of course, it’é,vali‘actor we must
keep in mind,” he said. -~
Some Senators have said that if
the International situation gets
much worse Congress may decide
to keep in effect all present taxes
and pass some new ones besides.
George indicated some doubt
that enough members of the
finance committee would show up
to transact busifiess. “If not,” he
said, “we’ll get to work on the bill
Wednesday.”
He was expected to ask for brief
public hearings, to enable Con
gress to complete action on the
measure before the present ses
sion adjourns.
The House Ways and Means
committee spent nearly six months
at work on the hill before sending
it to the floor. Senators hope to
get the measure out of the way in
less than a month.
Besides providing for the elimi
nation or reduction of a long list
of the so-called “nuisance taxes”
passed during the war, the bill
calls for new levies on big cor
porations, as well as certain other
steps designed to provide new re
venue for the Federal government.
President Truman has said he
will veto an excise-cutting bill
which costs the government mon
ey through failure to make up the
lost revenue elsewhere.
However, just as in the house,
some Senate criticism was de
veloping against the tax-boosting
provisions—especially among Re
publicans.

Reds Assassinate

Newspaper Editor
SAIGON, July 3—(AP)—The
publisher of an important Indo
china newspaper was assassinated
today as Communist-led National
ist stepped up their wave of ter
rorism.
Lu Khe, publisher of the news
paper, Anh Sang, was killed by
pistol fire as he left his house.
Two men who fired at him fled,
hurling grenades to cover their
flight.
French sources said they believe
Moscow has ordered all its fol
lowers in Asia, including those in
Indochina, to step up their ter
rorist activities in a show of soli

Over the weekend, 11 grenades
were thrown in different part of
the city, wounding three citizens
of the Vietnam state, and one
Frenchman. A bomb was discov
ered in a wheel of the personal
plane of Van Hoach, leader of the
pro-French caodai religious sect.

U. S. Forces Get Baptism
Of Fire From Red Planes
No Contact Made With Enemy
Ground Troops; Drive Slowed
TOKYO, July 3. — (AP) — American ground forces
reached the warfront, dug advanced positions and got a
baptism of fire from strafing planes today. But by nightfall
they had not seen the North Korean ground enemy.
General MacArthur's advanced headquarters in South
Korea said the invaders made no serious progress during
';he day, marked only by sporadic fighting between Korean
orces. 4
A spokesman indicated the break
through the Han River line at
Yongdungpo by two tank columns
might have been less serious than
first anticipated. The Americans
were rushed forward from their
staging base to head off this
column.
American pilots reported that
most Communist convoys ap
parently were lying low during
daylight to avoid intense strafing.
A renewed surge tonight might
bring the invaders in contact with
the Americans.
The strafing and rocket attack
on the Americans lasted 25
minutes. One foot soldier was
wounded in this, the first combat
in any form experienced by most
of them. There were five to seven
planes in the attack.
Advance headquarters in South
Korea said the North Korean
spearheads had failed to make any
serious progress in a series of
breaks through South Korean
lines. The drive on Suwon, aban
doned American forward base, ap
peared to have bogged down or
collapsed, A spokesman said some
of the tanks appeared to have pull
ed back.
General MacArthur's advanced
headquarters said the invaders
were using their tanks and troops
in Sporadic fighting in wkich no
American ground troops have yet
taken part.
U, 8. Air Strike
Large numbers of U. S. bombers
and fighters roared over the ad
vancing Communists, ripping their
columns with rqcklgts, bembe and
machinegun fire. No column was
reported stopped, however.
American and the unconfirmed
North Korean reports described a
steady Communist push southward
on roads spanning a fronl 55 miles
wide,
Suwon and its important air
field was a no-man’s-land as late
as Sunday night. Ten North Ko~
rean Yak fighters attacked
Suwon’s air field. Observers there
said four of the planes bore the
red star of the Russian Air Force.
Russian Planes
Russia has supplied the North
Koreans with all their planes. It
was possible that these were rush
ed into battle without painting ov
er the Russian insignia.
The U. S. Air Force communi
q%{ said two hostile planes were
shot down, one with the red star
markings. It was cautiously word
ed, however, and did not mention
Russia, g
Big U. S. B-29 superforts also
were again in action, flying 135
miles into North Korea and plas
tering the air field at Yonpo. Pilots
said the field was covered by
smoke when they left.
MacArthur’s headquarters an
nounced that Maj. Gen. William F.
Dean had been named commander
of all A:nerican forces in Korea.
Dean formerly commanded U, S.
occupation forces in South Korea,
was the last military governor of
that area, and since has command
ed the 24th infantry division in

Union Refuses
U.S.PleaTo
End Rail Strike
CHICAGO, July 3—(AP)—The
switchman’s union of North Am
erica refused yesterday a govern=-
ment plea to call off its strike
against five Western and mid
western railroads.
At the same time, it served no
tice that the strike will end only
if the nation becomes involved in
war or President Truman should
declare some other National em
ergency exists. It offered, how
ever, to help in movement over
the struck lines of any shipments
the government should deem es
sential to the National economy.
The statement was in reply to
the request made of the union
Saturday by John Thad Scott, jr.,
chairman of the National (Rail
way) mediation board.
In his request, Scott asked the
switchmen to go back to their jobs
“in the National interest” because
of what he called “current criti
cal developments” arising from
the fighting in Korea.
The wunion reply questioned
whether a National emergency
now exists.
The walkout of 4,000 switchmen
June 25 has left four of the five
railroads completely tied up since
then. The fifth line, the great
Northern has been forced to cur
tail operations. Thousands of
shopcraft, office, and other work
ers have been laid off by the lines
since the strike was called.
In addition to the Great North
ern, the struck railroads are the
Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific,
the Chicago great Western, the
Western Pacific, and the Denver
and Rio Grande Western.
The switchmen walked out in
support of their demand for a 40-
hour week at 48 hours pay. They
rejected a Presidential fact-find
ing board’s recommendation that
they accept the 40-hour week with
a pay boost of 18 cents an hour.

Man Escapes
3rd Floor Fall
SPRINGFIELD, Mass, July 3—
(AP)—A man watching a parade
fell out of a third floor hotel win
dow yesterday, grabbed a frail
flagpole, switched to a sign brac
ket, dropped 10 feet to a chain
support and then was rescued
through a second-story window.
The hairbreadth escape of Henry
Lefeave, 46, occurred as hundreds
along the route of an AMVETS
state convention parade watched
from the ground 40 feet below.
Many of the parade spectators
dashed up two flight of stairs to
assist in Lefeave’s rescue.
Police said Lefeave apparently
leaned too far out the window,
lost his balance and was about to
plunge headling into the crowd
below when he grabbed the flag
pole jutting from the third-floor
window.
The pole was bending perilously
when Lefeave caught hold of the
sign bracket.
He hung on for several seconds
but lost his grip.
He fell about 10 feet but man
aged to grab .a chain sypporting
the lower end of the sign.
As he was about about to lose
his grip again, rescuers pulled him
in the second floor window.

JOHNSON ASSERTS:
Te Mobkilize Reserves
WASHINGTON, July 3.—(AP)-—Secretary of Defense
Johnson said today there is no present intention to mobilize
reserves in this country in connection with the Korean
crisis.
Johnson made the statement to White House reporters
after a conference with President Truman at which he
brought the President up to date on developments in the
Korean fighting,
He was commenting on a story by David Lawrence, col
umnist, who said today the first step in a limited mobiliza
tion may come this week with a call for “volunteer re
serves’ to come to active duty.
Lawrence said this step “is im
perative if the Navy, for exam
ple, is to get the personnel to man
the ships needed this very month.”
Asked if there was any prospect
of a partial mobilization, Johnson
replied:
“Not at the present time.”
In response to another question,
Johnsen said that under recently
enacted law the President could,
if he considered it necessary, call
reserves to active duty without
their consent.
Johnson refused to comment
further. He spent about 20 min
utes with the President and
brought with him Deputy Secre
tary of Defense Stephen T. Early
and Gen. Omar Bradley, chairman
of the joint Chiefs of staff.
The air force said, meanwhile,
that the last of the ten ¥-51 mus
tangs alloted to the South Koreans
last week had been delivered to
the Korean pilots in Japan.
These planes were turned over
to South Korea under the Military
assistance program before the
United States intervened in the
Korean fighting with direct
ground, sea and air support.
Defense spokesmen here were
unable to clarify the Fluid Battle
line situation in the Suwon area,
They said South Korean troops ap
parently still held Suwon but ad
ded that invading patrols are so
close that the air field there prob
ably was useless to either side.

U. . Maneuvers
ToKeep China
Ouf Of Korea
Chiang Is Ordered To
Check Formcsa SetUp
Before Sending Tro:;t
WASHINGTON, July 3—(AP)~-
The Unifed States maneuvered to=-
day to try to keep Chinese forces
—Dboth Nationalist and Communist
—ifrom becoming invelved in the
fighting in Korea.
By release of a note to the Na
tionalist government on Formosa,
this government was on record
with a warning to Generalissime
Chiang Kai Shek that before he
dispatches any troops to aid the
South Koreans, he should give
careful consideration to the de
fenses of his own Communist
threatened position.
He was advised to consult Gene
eral Douglas MacArthur ‘on For
mosa’s defense arrangements, and
the note disclosed that plans fox
‘the consulations between Chiang’s
‘ and MacArthur’s representatives
had already been made,
. The published American attis
tude toward Nationalist China’s
offer of aid in the Korean fighting
was. based on “the threat of in
~vasion” of Formosa by Chinese
Communists, However, it wag un
derstood here that a major cone
sideration was the possible reace
tion of the Communists fe zny
such aid move.
Diplomatic and military authori«
ties were represented as feeling
that the entrance of Chiang’s
forces—he offered an Army of 33,
000 mén—into Korea would be
seized upon by the Communists as
a convenient excuse for sending
their own Chinese troops into the
fighting on the side of the morthe
ern invaders.
Meanwhile, there were these
other developments:
i 1. Members of the United Na«
| tions which are cooperating in the
| efforts to roll back the Red forces
; from South Korea were reported
generally to favor naming Mac
- Arthur, American far eastern
' commander, as supreme comman
der for the United Nations in this
struggle.
2. President Truman returned te
Washington late yesterday from a
weekend cruise on the presidential
yacht and was met by Secretary
of Defense Johnson, who gave him
the latest reports on developments
in the Korean situation. Seeretary
of State Achesan spent Sunday
afternoon at his desk in the State
Department, also studying Korean
reports. It was understoed that
these reports said that" morale
among the South Korean troops is
good despite the battering they
have taken during the past week.
3. John Foster Dulles, Acheson’s
chief Republican adviser, said in
' a radio broadcast Saturday night
that the Communists sattacked
South Korea because they felt
“they could not tolerate this hope
ful, attractive Asiatic experiment
in democracy.” Another reason, he
suggested, was to place Japan “be
tween the upper and lower jaws
of the Russian bear.”
