"DARKHOUR™
U. S. Is Running Low
On Both Space, Time;
New UN Troops Needed
r BY ELTON C. FAY
WASHINGTON, July 27—(AP)
__Announcement that Britain is
sending, and other United Nations
countries may send, ground troops
+o Korea comes in one of the dark
est hours of American Military
history. v '
What American military men
want now are more combat-ready
troops—quickly, - urgently. - How
quickly? There are no firm esti
mates now, but the mext two or
ihree weeks can be highly eritical.
United - States Army troops
tichting the Red invaders of the
republic of Korea do not yet have
their backs to the wall — but the
room is getting smaller. In the
strategy of trading space for time,
they are running low on both
commodities. : 5
The British government’s an
nouncement that it is sending to
Korea a regular army combat
group including artillery and ar
mor, reached Washington at a
time when Pentagon officials were
growing increasingly © concerned
pbout help from United Nations
members. ; 4
Reinforcements from the United
Nations are on the way—2nd Army
Division troops, First Marine Di
vision fighters — but some Penta
gon officials make it plain this
can’t be enough.
More - fighting manpower is
needed not only to bolster the bat
tered American Army troops and
help them hold the diminishing
perimeter, but to allow soldiers
exhausted by weeks of unrelieved
combat to rest.
Pentagon leaders prefer that
any troop units contributed to the
United Nations campaign in Korea
be in organizations of not less
than 1,000 men, trained, equipped
and supplied for immediate fight
jng. Later, the Far East commana
of the United States can provide
the supplies, but it is desired that
yhen ground forces land in the
war zone they be ready to go into
gction quickly with their own
equipment and field supplies.
1,000 Minimum
The London announcement did
not specify the size of the combat
group to be sent, but it apparently
would be substantially more than
the 1,000-man minumum. London
News dispatches speculated that it
might range from a battalion to a
prigade, from 1,000 to 5,000 men.
There was other help in the off
ing, including the announcements
of two British commonwealth
gountries, Australia and New
Vealand, that they will send land
forces. Turkey already has offer
ed 4,500 trained combat troops.
It is the combat-wise veteran
units that could be of special
value in Korea if they could be
landed there soon.
Pentagon officials still insist
that a foothold in Korea will be
maintained until the build-up for
a counter-offensive is ready.
They say that during the next
tew weeks the reinforcements
from the United States, plus more
and better arms and ammunition,
should be able to get into action.
That is the critical time. If they
can't, or if the Red forces get more
power from hidden resources Of
manpower, then the situation will
be more than critical.
Outnumbered, with ~ troops
growing weary under. constant
fighting, the American and South
Korean forces now are trying the
only thing left — shorten the line.
1f the defense perimeter can be
held out 30 or even 20 miles from
the vital port of Pusan, the foot
hold still is reasonably sound. But
if at any point the line falls back
to a matter of fifteen, a dozen or
less miles, the situation indeed
becomes critical.
Killer Escapes
Milledgeville
For Third Time
LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga., July
27—(AP)—A man who fled the
hospital for the insane at Milledge
ville in July was held today for
what Sheriff T. J. Johnson de
scribed as the senseless killing of
an aged farmer.
The sheriff reported James N.
Powell, 81, was slain Sunday at a
two-room house where he lived
alone by a man who claimed to
have met him only the day before.
Johnson identified the killer as
Horace Head, 34. ,He said Head
was convicted ten years ago of
manslaughter and on July 6 es
caped for the third time from
Milledgeville,
Head was quoted as saying he
had been drunk for a week and
picked Powell up on a highway in
a truck Saturday and drove him
home. He added, said the sheriff,
that he returned Sunday to the
aged man’s home, became em
broiled in an argument and slug
ged Powell to death with a claw
hammer,
_“lt was a senseless slaying,” the
sheriff commented. “We have not
been able yet to find any rational
motive,”
Head was arrested after a truck
he was driving was identified as
one seen at Powell’s home. Two
other persons were jalled last
night but Johnson said they were
held mainly as material witnesses
for a scheduled coroner’s inquest.

Plans Proceed
For Georgia
Atomic Defense
ATLANTA, July 27—(AP)—
Plans to guard Georgia from ato
mic bombs or any other form of
attack proceeded today tc the ac
companiment of minor sniping be
tween two high officials.
Adj.-Gen. Ernest Vandiver,
state director of civil defense, and
Mayor William Hartsfield of At
lanta indulged in a round of con
troversy over who should consult
whom on plans for the state’s
largest city.
Both went ahead with protec
tion plans.
Vandiver returned froE Wash
ington yesterday to find the Mayor
had named George M. (Pup) Phil
lips Atlanta director and Phillips
was all set for conferences direct
with Washingttn.
"“No Courtesy”
“Neither Hartsfield nor Phil
lips,” he complained, “has shown
me the courtesy of conferring with
me on civil defense matters.”
Hartsfield counted that “the
general” was “unduly excited.” He
said that as head of the state’s
largest city, “I might well ask why
Vandiver has not conferred with
me.”
He added that he hoped to work
in “complete harmony” with ev
eryone,
Vandiver quoted National De
fense Director Paul Larsen as say=
ing he would work entirely
through state directors and gov
ernors in dealing with cities and
counties.
The adjutant general said he al
ready has directed Col. Frank
Kepf, state co-ordinator, to con
tact the 14th Air Force Head
quarters in Macon. The purpose,
he explained, is to explere the pos
sible need for civilian observation
posts to augment normal aircraft

School Plans
He said plans for a training

school will be held in Atlanta in
September.
The State American Legion to
day offered Gov. Herman Tal
madge the use of its manpower
and facilities in any Georgia spon=

State Commander John Brock
told Talmadge the legion was
ready to use more than 200 post
homes in the state as headquarters
for local defense activities.
There are more than 326 legion
posts in Georgia with some 52,000
members. The legion commander
said Adjutant General Ernest Van
diver has been instructed to ac
cept the services of the legion in
mobilizing a State Guard or any
other civil defense organization.

Out-Of-Stafe
Liquor Dealer
Are Indicted
BUCHANAN, Ga., July 27 —
(AP) — Two out-of-state liquor
dealers — one from Illinois and
the other from Louisiana — have
been indicted on charges of con
spiracy to defraud the state of
Georgia.
A Haralson county grand jury
returned the indictments, accusing
the men of sending liquor into
Georgia without paying state taxes.
Those indicted yesterday are J.
B. Wenger, Cairo, 111., liquor dis
tributor, and Jake Greenburg, a
Delta, La., liquor dealer. Wenger
only Tuesday was victor in a fed
eral suit brought by Georgia in an
attempt to collect $395,340 in al
leged evaded liquor taxes. The
state contends he sent a million
dollars' worth of. whisky into the
state without paying taxes.
The indictment of Wenger, re
quested by Deputy Revenue Com
missioner Albert Dozier, brought
criticism from Attorney General
Eugene Cook. He said the action
might hurt Georgia’s chances of
collecting in the civil action on an
appeal. He said a person cannot be
‘made to testify in a civil action if
‘his testimony might jeopardize
him in a criminal case.
~ Nine Haralson county men pre
wiously had been indicted for con
}spiracy with Greenberg and Wen
ger.
|~ Dozier had said if Wenger wete
‘indicted, extradition proceedings
would be started. But Attorney
General Cook said he doubted
Wenger could be brought to Geor
gia because “we can’t extradite a
'man unless he was in Georgia at
the time of the crime or has been
here since then. I have no informa
tion that Wenger has ever been in
Georgia.”

Loa was born ages ago through a
, mile crack in the floor of the
Pacific.
