Anti-Leopo
Srikes Cripple
Selgium Capifal
BY GODFREY ANDERSON
BRUSSELS, Belgium, July 28—
AP) =+ Brussels walked to work
« oday as the country’s widespread
nti-Leopold strikes hit the capi
al. The city’s factories and most
arge department stores were
‘losed.
With some 300,000 workers al
ready idle in protest against King
Leopold’s return ‘to his throne,
both the Monarch’s supporters and
iis opponents pulled their battle
lines tighter. Tension ~mounted
throughout the-nation.
An anti-Leopold demonstrator
died of injuries received last night
in a bloody 90-minute fight be
tween pelice and anti-Leopold par
tisans who penetrated to within
300 yards of the king’s palace at
Laeken. The dead man reportedly
was run down by a car he was
trying to stop.
Only about 20 of Brussels’ 750
Sireet cars were operating today.
Protected by rifle-carrying gend
armes and jammed to the doors,
they were diven by members of
the pro-Leopold Catholic Union,
which ignored the strike call of
the larger Socialist-controlled un
ioon.
Reds Sing
A crowd before one open store
sang the Communist internationale
and booed members of the staff
going to work, Forcing their way
mside, the demonstrators trampled
two life-size pictures of the king.
Rifle-armed police drove them out
and drew a tight eordon around
the store,
In Brussels last night 2,500 anti-~
Leopold partisans defied a local or
der forbidding more than five 'Blel'-
sons to gather in the streets. They
marched on the royal galace, hoot-
Ing, whistling and calling for the
King's abdication.
Several Injured
When police failed to disperse
them wifllx) a baton charge, 24 mo
torcyele police rode into the crowd.
Several persons were injured.
At Antwerp today 4,000 workers
in the major port's ship repair
Yards joined the country’s Social
ist-called strike wave. It was ex
pected the city’s 12,000 dockers
would join them later in the day.
The Brussels-Liege railway was
Teduced to single-track working as
2 result of further sabotage last
”,{ilght. The Brussels-Charleroi line
&lso was cut by the dynamiting of
&n electrie pyion on the railway.
Anti-Leopold leaders hinted they
Wwere preparing another and higger

~ General MacArthur’s early
morning summary said “a savage
fire fight” was in progress, with
concentrated assaults on the U. S.
First Cavalry Division area south
east of Yongdong. :
The First Cavalry foot troopers
lost some ground in the Hwanggan
vicinity, 15 miles east of Yong
dong, but were last reported hold
ing firm against three enemy di
visions,
Twenty miles farther northeast,
elements of the Red 15th division
drove a smaii wedge between the
U. S. 25th division and the South
Korean sixth division near Ichon
Village, MacArthur’s announce
ments said. Efforts were being
made to restore the breach.
A First Cavalry Division spokes
man in the field said the great Red
onslaught covered the entire front
of about 200 twisting miles. He
said this battle was critical.
Fighting without much direct
air support because of the weather,
the Americans drove to bar the
corridor to Taegu, temporary
South Korean capital and supply
line hub 45 miles southeast of
Yongdong and 40 miles above vital
Pusan port.
Maximum Effort
“ A MacArthur headquarters in
telligence spokesman said late Fri
day: “Enemy pressure is now
reaching a maximum, and he must
have a decision quickly.”
This spokesman said the Red
sufx?ly problem had reached a
point where the invaders were un
able to continue a war of attrition.
He called the next few days
“extremely tmportant” from the
Communist point of view,
An American counterattack was

U. S. Showing In Korea
Watched By Russians
BY ELTON C. FAY
WASHINGTON, July 28.— (AP) —The government is
racing against time to win the Korean conflict and arm for
possible war with Russia—with full knowledge that a con
tinued poor U. S. showing in one could easily bring on the
other.
When might Russia drop her mask and step openly into
war? The guess by some highly placed officials is three
yvears. Others, at equally high level, think the time could be
less.
Educafion See
Key To Victor
Education was hailed as the key
to_national survival here last
night by three of Georgia’s leading
citizens.
“Either we produce the best ed
ucated people in the world or we
will collapse from within,” Earl
Norman, chairman of the Georgia
Citizens Committee on Education,
told the state’s school administra
tors meeting in a conference at the
University of Georgia.
“No nation can defeat the Uni
ted States as long as we are an
chored around the church, homes,
and school,” Norman said. “In
Georgia we have made a miserable
failure of the schools.”
Pointing out that democraey
cannot exist if education fails,
Norman added that “either we
raise the pay of the school teachers
or we raise the pay of the drill
sergeant.”
“The only way we can win peace
in the world is through education,
morality, and kindness,” he con
cluded.
Earlier Chancellor Harmon W.
Caldwell appealed for support of
the University System so that it
would be able to provide the gui
dance, training, and research the
state needs.
W. E. Pafford of the State De
partment of Education also spoke
at the conference session. Dr. M.
D. Collins, State Superintendent
‘of Schools, originally scheduled to
speak, was unable to attend.
The conference closed this
morning.

Georgia Polio

Cases Decline
ATLANTA, July 28—(AP) —
Polio cases in Georgia have de
creased gradually since 1948.
Dr. W. J. Murphy, state Epidem
jologist, said today 54 have beea
reported so far this year compar
ed with 55 for the same period of
last year.
Last year’s total number was
927 against 230 in 1948.

Two Fire Calls
Firemen answered two calls this
morning, the first at 10:00 a. m. to
797 Pope street where an oil stove
had caught fire. No damage was
incurred. §
At 10:45 a. m. another call*was
received by local firemen to the
Old South Restaurant where a rag

no damage done. , *isi3iiiiitis

Riflemen of the U. S. First Cavalry
Division deploy along a fence and fire at
snipers near Yongdong, South Korea.
They are protecting the jeep loaded with
ammunition enroute to the battle front.
Russia is watching us now in
Korea to see how we fight. We
are fighting badly now. If the
final showing is the same, the
Kremlin may not wait three years.
Also, the time estimate could be
wrong. We were wrong in our
guess about how soon Russia
could make its first atomic bomb.
The administration reportedly
is talking now about a $35,000,-
000,000 outlay in this fiscal year,
which began July 1. That would
include money for fighting the
current war; for * building up
against the mounting menace of
another, bigger one; for making
the free European nations stron
ger, militarily and econonrically,
by giving.them more arms aid and
more economic help,
One of the major problems is
manpower. = ; 2
Here the feel of urgency is real
ly apparent. Last Tuesday, Pres
ident Truman, in asking Congress
for a $10,500,000,000 supplemental
military appropriation, said that
among other things it would pro
vide for 600,000 more nren in the
armed forces. That figure may
well turn out to be higher.
Draft Boost B
Indicating an upward revision,
there is the hike in the number of
men the government intends to
draft. It started off on July 10
with a modest plan to call 20,000.
Today it wants 100,000 inductees
called up during September and
October — a sudden increase of
80,000.
These draftees won't be of any
use for fighting the Korean war
—unless it drags on to late 1951
or early 1952, It will take shat
long to make combat-efficient
soldiers of them. So, it is obvious
they will become part of the ex
panded armed forces to fight in
any future war,
Some Pentagon thinking is that
Russia—until she feels her arnries,
her air force and her arsenals are
all of them ready—will not move
where she must commit her own
troops. i o
If that is true, it could mean
that there might be no early, di
rect action in some of the “sensi
tive” spots around the. world—in
western Germany, in Iran, in Yu
goslavia. At those points, she could
not rely on her satellites to do her

800,000-Man Mark Seen Army Goal
%
By End Of Year; New Drafts Slated
BY RUTH COWAN
WASHINGTON, July 28.— (AP) —The Army, already
slated to get 100,000 draftees by October 30, may follow
up with at least one more draft call before the end of the
year to boost its strength near the 800,000-man mark,
While the Air Force and the Navy are waiting to see if
volunteers will fill their combined 340,000-man quota, the
Army made clear yesterday that it is relying heavily on the
selective service act to meet its manpower needs.
It bosted its September draft
call from 20,000 to 50,000 and said
it would call up another 50,000
men in October.
Even this increased total would
fall short of bringing the ground
forces ta their 800,000-man goal.
Army manpower on June 30—the
last date for which figures will be
released—was about 591,000,
In addition to the Army, the
United States is building as swift
ly as possible toward an Air Force
of 548,000 and a Navy of 579,000—
for a total military strength of
1,927,000 within the next few
months. By next June this is ex
pected to climb to 2,300,000.
In a move to stabilize the mili
tary force, President Truman yes
terday signed an executive order
extending for 12 months all en
listments in the armed services.
This affects nearly 300,000 enlist
ments due to expire before June
30, 1951.
Of this number 44,000 are in the
Pacific theater.
- Officers Frozen
In a companion move, the Army
extended by six months—effective
August 31—the tour of duty of all
personnel in foreign service, ex
cept for the Far East command,
where officers and men will be
held “as long as may be neces
sary.”
An officer in Germany, com
menting on the move, said: “We
simply have to keep what men
we’'ve got here. It just boils down
to keeping our forces in Europe on
hand.”
And as U. S. military forces an
nounced plans for rapid expansion,
a seven-member Senate watchdog
committee promised it will see that
a “thorough job"” is done on the
home front, i
Chairman Lyndon C. Johnson
(D.-Tex.) said, however, that the
committee will keep hands off
strategy and will try to limit the
appearances before congressional
committees of busy military men
and other officials.
Family Allowances
Congress moved meanwhile to
restore family allowances for en
listed personnel of the Army,
Navy, Marines, Air Force and
Coast Guard.
Identical bills were introduced
in House and Sepate by the chair
men of the Armed Services Com-~
mittees, at the request of the De
fense Department, to replace the
existing law under which allow

300-Mile-Long
Tunnel Planned
WASHINGTON, July 28—(AP)
—The U. S. Bureau of Mines is
drafting plans for a big 300-mile
long twin-bore tunnel to open vast
hard coal reserves now under wa
ter in Central Pennsylvania.
Such a project seems to be the
solution to flood problems sealing
off milljons of tons of anthracite
in the area, S. A. Ash, chief of the
bureau’s safety branch, told a re
porter today.
Ash said bureau engineers are
working on the project now and
may have a report ready for con
sideration within two years.
Ke said the tunnel—the longest
of its kind—should be constructed
from the Central Pennsylvania
coal fields to tidewater near Havre

Baruch Idea Gathering Momentum
As Sub To Truman’s Limited Plan
WASHINGTON, July 28.— (AP) —Considerable sup
port built up in Congress today for a drive to put the eoun
try under rationing and wage price control. ;
The idea is to substitute full homefront mobilization fer -
President Truman's limited economic control bill, ,
The House Banking Committee approved the President’s
plan, 20 to 1, late yesterday, but only after it failed by a
one-vote margin to take instead the all-out economie €on
trol plan proposed by elder statesman Bernard M. Baruch.
The Baruch plan lost 10 to 9.1
Six Republicans and three Demo
erats supported it. Nine Democrats
and one Republican opposed it.
Rep. Kunkel (R.-Pa.) author of
the all-out substitute, announced
immediately he will take the fight
to the House floor when the bill
comes up, there next Tuesday. His
measure would roll back prices to
their lowest level between July 24
and 28. 8 e
Powerful support gathered be
hind the Baruch plan. One high
placed Democrat said it might pass
the House.
Chairman Vinson (D.-Ga.) of
the House Armed Services Com
mittee said “I am for the Baruch
plan. Otherwise there will be in
flation, absolutely out of control.”
Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve
Board reported that department.
store sales last week ran 46 per
cent higher than in the same week
last year. Never before has such
a large increase been recorded.
Week before last the increase over
1949’s corresponding week was 25
per cent.
Sugar Sales
Also, the Agriculture Depart
ment said that sugar sales by pri
mary distributors jumped 87 per
cent in the first three weeks of
July as compared with the same
1949 period. |
The department announced that,
while there is already plenty of
sugar, the government will buy
remaining Cuban stocks. It said
this will give the U, S. a total
marketable supply of more than
8,450,000 tons—largest ever in any
one calendar year.
Senate Democratic leader Lu=
cas, of Illinois, while not specifi
cally endorsing the Baruch plan,
said “I don’'t like the piecemeal
‘approach to economie eurbs. The
people don’t like runaway prices
and would like to take the profits
out of war.”
Senator Sparkman (D.-Ala.)
said he is thinking of leading a
fight in the Senate for the Baruch
plan.
Rep. Wolcott of Michigan, senior
Republican on the House Banking
Committee, said he will support
the Kunkel-Baruch substitute on
the floor, and he and Kunkel pre
dicted wide support by both Dem
ocrats and Republicans.
GOP Policy :
However, Senator Taft of Ohio,
chairman of the Senate GOP poli
¢y committee, told a reporter that
Senate Republicans aren’t going to
ask for all out controls now. He
has predicted that partial controls
will be followed by an administra=-
tion request for a full clamp down
after the Novembhker elections are
out of the way.
Mr. Truman’s bili calls for no
price and wage controls, and for
no rationing powers. The Presi
dent says he doesn’t need this au
thority now but will ask for it if
he finds it needed.
His request provides allocation
and priorities authority*to channel
facilities and materialg into mili
tary and essental uses, to finance
increased productive capacity and
a larger supply of materials, and
to control installment buying and
other consumer and real estate
credit, and also power to curb spe-~
culations in commodities.
Many members of Congeu have
been critical of what they have
called “half-way” measures, in
view of price jumps since the Ko~
rean war developed. The Baruch
warnings against damaging infla
tion apparently made a deep im
pression on Capitol Hill.
t Hoarding Flayed
Senate Leader Lucas said that
unless the people quit hoarding
and buying things they don't need,
price-wage and rationing controls
“will be with us.” He made the
statement after a Senate Demo
cratic policy huddle.
Sparkman said full controls
might not be necessary now, if the
President had asked for more than
$5,000,000,000 in new taxes, in
cluding an excess profits tax to
crack down on profiteering. He
said he would like to see prices
stabilized as of June 25.
The House committee deleted

what would be their attitude fo

step: call the FBI quickly wi
any information you may have.

sip or idle rumors, nor in “what ‘
person thinks.” But, he said,
most specifically wants faets on
actions “which wundermine fnter«

President Truman called en the
American publie lut“%on:y te
channel any information on -
ing, sabotage or other subvuz\yv
activities to the FBI.
Like the White House, the FBI
cautioned against private attempts
to investigate evidence of such ac~
tivity, saying it should be left te
the highly organized FBI machine
ery which is set up for that pure
pose,
Th FBS I lA“n:ad
e I has long ?odtl
agents in each g}tx its 51 ift!iel ’-:‘tfio;
ces assigned to the specific
sifting and relating such evidence,
with the Washington headquarters
serving as a clearing house.
The Hoover statement noted
that a close system of cooperation
between the Federal Bureau and
law enforcement agencies through=
out the nation is already functions
ing in this field. ‘
For the general publie, he made !
these suggestions:
