ATLANTA, July 83—(AP)—The

In naming the winners official
ly, the committee set them up as

In actuality it was just a matter
of going through the motions to
keep matters legal since the Dem
ocratic primary is tantamount to
election in Georgia.
The call for the August 9 con

Chairman James S. Peters of Man

recent primary, adopting a party

U. S. Seizure
.
Order Defied
.
By Switchmen
CHICAGO, July B—(AP)—The
Army seized the Rock Island rail
road today on orders of President
Truman and then sought legal ac
tion to force the defiant switch
men to end their strike.
Leaders of the AFL switchmen’s
union refused to order their men
té work for the Army. And not a
train was reported running—even
an hour after the seizure.
Arthur J. Glover, president of
the AFL union, said the union
would return to work “when and
if the government seizes the prof
its of the railroad as well as the
labor of free men.”
To meet this hurdle, Karl R.
Benedtsen, assistant secretary of
the Army in Washington, asked
the Justice Department to take
legal action under the President’s
seizure order,
Some high union sources said
previously that they would end
their strike if the government gets
an injunction.
The President directed the Army
to take over and run the 8,000~
mile Rock Island system at 4 p.
m. Eastern Standard Time today.
He also called on officers of ‘the
striking union to “take appropriate
action” to keep the switchmen on
the job.
But the unron, which three times
previously turned down formal
government requests to end their
walkout, balked again.
The union threw up a fresh
picket line at Silvis, 111, to pre
vent operation of trains, It was
the first picket line at Silvis dur
ing the 14 day strike.
Lt. Col. Thomas E. Sams ar
rived from Washington at 5:18 p.

session of the railroad. He went

As Red Push Captures Chonan
TOKYO, Sunday, July 9.— (AP) —American armor is
moving up “with important reinforcements” to the Chonan
sector on the Korean western front but the Reds are still
pushing south after capturing Chonan.
So far there have been no reports of the U. 8. armor en
gaging the south-bound Communists, who had forced an
American advance unit into hasty reatreat. .
Army, Navy ana Air Force re

Each office said that as yet they

An army spokesman announced
that American mechanized equip
ment had started forward.
Small American advance units
ran into a North Korean pocket at
Chonan and fell back late Friday
and Saturday, leaving some
wounded behind them.
The spokesman said no Ameri
can units now are north of Cho
nan, 60 miles south of Seoul.
South Koreans on the American
right flank were victorius in two
engagements against the enemy,
the spokesman said. He did not in
dicate the scale of the fighting, nor
locate its position.
A lone North Korean plane flew
deep into southern territory to
drop eight bombs on Taegu, the
spokesman said. Five of them were
duds. Taeku is an important rail
and communication center 70
miles southeast of Taejon.
It was the first Red aircraft re
ported in action in the past two
and one half days.
Red Tanks
General MacArthur’s Tokyo
headquarters communique, issued
just before midnight Saturday, re
corded an ominous buildup of
North Korean invader troops and
armor a little farther back, paced
by 80 to 110 tanks. i
American troops along the
front, in light strength, about 60
miles south of Seoul, were setting
up “successive delaying g:sifiom"
‘and army spokesman in South Ko
rea said.
There still has been no major
unit of the U. S. Army thrown into
gle fight to check the Red offen
ve.
The spokesman explained a ma
jor unit would be one larger
than a battalion (1,000 men at full
strength), but sometimes no more
than 400 or 500).
The renewed push by the north
erners forced Americans to fall
back rapidly from Chonan, a high
way town some 35 air miles north
of Taejon, and 45 to 50 miles by
road from that important jump off
point for defending forces.
Taejon %{eviously has been
identified as American field head
quarters.)
Field headquarters reported 17
more North Korean tanks had
been destroyed by South Korean
and American forces. Field dis
patches earlier Saturday had plac
ed Red tanks losses at about 40,
but there was no official basis for
the count.
General MacArthur’s communi
que told of spotting 40 to 50 North
Korean tanks and truck drawn
heavy artillery which looked like
“Long Tom” 155 Millimeter rifles
north of Pyongtaek, which is 14
miles north of Chonan.
Streams Obstacles
Another 40 to 60 enemy tanks
and more than 1,000 men were
crossing the swollern Ansong River
and heading toward Songhwan, a
village on the main highway only
eight miles rnorth of Chonan.
Significantly, MacArthur said
that “blown bridges and swollen
streams continued to be the most
serious obstables to North Korean
armored units.”
Headquarters in Tokyo appear
ed most concerned about two big
drives by the enemy which ap
pear to springing up rapidly.
First, the communique said, was
“ g distinet possibility of a wide
envelopment attempting to cut the
main ncrth-south communications
line, possibly in the Taejon area.”
Second, a push down the isolated
east coast toward Pusan, main U.
S. supply port.
The long field telephone circuit
to Tokyo used by correspondents
and the U. S. Army is at Taejon.
American airforce and allied
naval units were active through
out Saturday.
