President Steers Clear Of Dispute
I -
On General’s Recent Formosa Trip
BY JOHN M. HIGHTOWER
WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.— (AP) —President Truman
said today he is satisfied with what General Douglas Mac-
Arthur is doing as American and United Nations com
mander in the Far East.
He also told a news conference that he had not met any
body of the sort described by MacArthur in a statement
last night in which MacArthur said appeasers in Washing
ton were criticizing his recent trip to Formosa.
Mr., Truman steered clear of
comment on MacArthur’s trip and
the controversy which has grown
around it. :
Asked for information on the
report which he received yester
day from W. Averell Harriman,
his foreign affairs coordinator,
who is just back from Tokyo, Mr.
Trunran replied:
Harriman had expressed all that
could be said on the subject at his
meeting with reporters yesterday
afternoon. What Harriman told
newsmen then, the President add
ed, is substantially what he had
earlier reported to the Pre_sident.
Later the Chief Executive was
asked what he thought about Mae-
Arthur’s charge that critics of the
latter’'s meeting with Generalissi
mo Chiang Kai-shek in Formosa
early last week were persons who
have always favored appeasement
in Asia, MR
Mr. Truman said he had not met
anybody of that sort yet. He went
on to comment that MacArthur
and he were in perfect agree
ment. He recalled that he appoint
ed MacArthur to the posts which
he now holds, most recently nanr
ing him United Nations comman
der for the Korean fighting. He
said he is satisfied with what Gen
eral MacArthur is doing,
No Answer
Another question involving For
mosa was: Under its policy of neu=
tralizing that island would the
Vnited States be prepared.to use
its Air Force and ground troops
against a Communist attacker. Mr.
Truman said he could not answer
that,

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10—(AP)
—President Truman said today he

He conceded that an excess
profits tax—which he has not ask

He repeated that he had asked
4r tax increases which he be
lieved could be enacted quickly
and that an excess profits levy is
very controversial.
The President also told his news
conference that Jacob Malik, So
viet representative on the United
Nations Security Council, Is cons
ducting a filibuster on Korea, and
it is a filibuster against the Rus
sians themselves principally.

Defense Spokesman Asserts Vast

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.— (AP) —A Defense Depart

for universal military training of youths should reach Con-
gress soon.
Rear Admiral H. A. Houser, who represents the Defense
Department on legislation, gave that information to the
Senate Armed Services Commtitee. ,
Chairman Tydings (D-Md) had

stood a vast training program,
probably applying to all youths
18 to 19 years, old, now was under
study.
Tydings asked a group of Army,

ent for the committee session, if
this were true.

Tydings remarked that addi

ent draft act and calls to duty for
some national guard and reserve
groups, probably must be found

The UMT disclosure came as the
Senate group voted to suspend
provisions of the draft act that
directed the army, navy and Air

thus avoid being drafted at age 19

Slight Decline
In Food Prices
WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.—(AP)
—The government reported today
a slight, over-all drop in retail
food prices the last half of July.
The report by the Bureau of
Labor Statistics wa~ based on a
special survey of 25 foods in 13
large cities, as of July 31. The spot
study was made because of con
gressional action on possible price
controls in view of the Korean
crisis, ;
BLS Commissioner Ewan Cla
gue reportedsto Secretary of Labor
Tobin that although prices of 18
of the foods went up, the rises
were more than offset by “sharp
seasonal declines in retail prices
for fresh vegetables and lower
prices for fresh pork.”
He estimated retail prices on all
foods to be about two-tenths of
one percent lower than on July
15.
Clague said that in all 13 cities
included in the special survey,
housewives were paying more on
July 31 than on July 15 for bread,
eggs, hamburger, bacon, coffee,
and sugar. Average prices rose
during the two weeks in seven
cities: Buffalo, Cleveland, Los
Angeles, Philadelphia, Richmond,
San Francisco, and Washington,

Red Drive In North Halfed
Short Of Key Fighter Base
TOKYO, Friday, Aug. 11.—(AP)—U. 8. troops yester
day drove 13 miles almost to the outskirts of Chinju and
snapped shut behind them an armored trap on possibly
1,000 enemy troops.
It was the biggest single day’s gain of the war for Amer
ican forces.
As Chinju, major enemy base in South Korea, tottered
North Koreans at the other end of the 140-mile front roll_eti
to within eight miles of a U.'S. east coast fighter base be
fore being halted.
General MacArthur's war summary said South Koreans
checked the enemy drive eight miles west of Pohang. The
fighter base is near this city 63 miles north of the port of
Pusan.
The enemy also loosed new at
tacks along the northern front,
putting renewed pressure on the
important supply city of Taegu,‘
55 miles northwest of Pusan. |
They were advancing against re- }
sisting South Koreans on a front
about 30 miles north of Taegu.
The enemy still held a Naktong
river bridgeheead 29 milés south
west of Taegu against fierce
American. attacks. Another
bridgehead 12 miles northwest of
Taegu was reported .wiped out. .
U. S. Eighth Army leaders took
hasty “steps to protect the fighter
plane base. It is eight miles
southeast of Pohang on the Sea
of Japan 55 miles north of Pusan.
Rugged Country
Two Red forces rolled back
crumbling South Korean troops
there. AP Correspondent Hal Boyle
at Pohang said the Reds were
protected from American naval
guns by lofty mountains in some
of Korea’s most rugged country.
The Pohang-bound Communists
hammered down from Yongdok,
which they retook Thursday, and
drove on four miles to the south.
The main threat to the fighter
base came from another Red force
} rolling toward it from the moun=
tain village of Kigye, eight miles
northwest of Pohang.” A Nofth
Korean patrol of 30 men com
manded the Yongchon - Pohang
supply road with machineguns.
Four U. S. Mustang fighters
were shot down -by ground - fire
after taking off to machinegun the
invaders. One pilot was lost and
tl:iree were rescued, Boyle report
ed.
River Fight
Twenty-nine miles southwest of
Taegu, the main U, S. base on the
central front, a battalion of Reds
held off elements of the U. S. 24th
and second. divisions on the banks
of the Naktong river, :
American planes, including 70
B-29s from Japan and Okinawa,

Air Force said the B-29s badly

planned a closed, informal meet
ing today with thelr Russian pres

If they fail, the regularly sehe

Many Council sources agreed
there was little chance cf winning
