Federal and state mediators reported “encouraging”
progress in efforts to settlethe Packard Motor Car Com
pany strike and two other labor disputes in the auto in
dustry were settled.
But as peace talks in the walkout of 8,000 CIO United
Auto Workers at Packard resumed, there were no settle
ment predictions. The strike started at midnight Monday
after the union rejected a package offer which included
a five cents hourly wage boost, pensions embracing social
security and other benefits. The present w?‘ge it the
auto industry averages from $1.65 to $1.68 an hour.’
Meanwhile, one big rail union
went ahead with plans for a five
day “token” strike at three key
terminals, to begin next Monday.
The Brotherhood of Railroad
Trainmen called the strike involv
ing some 3,000 yardmen, It was
made yesterday after the union’s
request for seizure of the nation’s
carriers to avert a possible coun
tryside rail strike was refused by
President Truman.,
The strike will affect yardmen
of the Kentucky and Indiana term
inal railroads with headquarters at
Louisville; The Minnesota Trans
fer Railroad with Headquarters at
St. Paul, and the River Terminal
Railroad with headquarters at
Cleveland. .
The trainmen and the Brother
hood of Railway Conductors, in
volved in a wage-hour dispute be
tween their some 300,000 members
and the carriers had requested
government seizure of the roads
on the ground the operators had
shown “no interest” in settling the
long dispute, The wunions had
asked a 40-hour work week with
no reduction in the present pay for
a 48-hour week.
Auto Contract
'l:he United Auto Workers in De
troit accepted a new three-year
contract with Hudson Motor Car
Company providing a wage boost
of three cents an hour for 16,000
employes, plus pension benefits.
The union members by a vote of
5,702 to 3,552 accepted termrs of
the contract after earlier rejecting
the pact. ‘
The union also settled a dispute
with Federal Mogul Corp., a De=
troit supplier firm closed since
last Dec. 13 by a strike of 280
workers. A two-year contract
provides a minimum wage of $1.70
an hour and SIOO a month pen
sions, including social security.
CIP electrical union officials in
New York announced no strike
vote would be taken against the
General Electric Company. The
announcement followed a meeting
of the union’s GE conference
poard, which was called after a
breakdown in contract talks be
tween the company and the CIO

B-29 Raid Shows Why
A -Bombs Aren't Used
-bombs Arent Use
By MAX BOYD
WASHINGPON, Aug. 17 — (AP) — The bombing of
massed Korean Communists by B-29 superfortresses un
derscores some of the reasons why atomic bombs are not
now being used in support of American and South Korean
soldiers.
With around 100 B-295, the Air Force was able to
spread approximately 1,000 tons of conventional bombs
over an area in which North Koreans were concentrated
for an expected attack.
The superforts’ bombing runs
were made without interferencs by
enemy fighters, since U. S. and
Australian planes completely con
trol the air over Korea.
Whether the expected Commun=-
ist attack will be stopped indef
initely by the single massive
bombin% is a question.
But should the Communists re
cover and reform for a drive to
cut the American and South Ko
rean forces in two, the superforts
Civil Service
Still Unchanged
By BILL RABUN
The Korean conflict has not
changed the Civil Service status
of veterans or draft-eligible citi
zens, according to Fred W, Orr,
local U, S. Civil Service represent
ative,
Mr. Ort states that ex-service
men still have top priority on the
civil service wditing list.
The point system now in effect
is being continued at present.
Heading the list with ten points
will be the disabled veteran. This
group will be given top priority for
civil service positions in the fed
eral government,
étfier veterans will be placed in
the five point group and will have
second preference. Persons not
having a veteran’s status will fill
the remaining group. This group
gets consideration foliowing the
veterans status. Persons of draft
age can still take examinations for
civil service positions as can vet
erans and citizens outside the draft
age limits, reports Mr, Orr.
Persons interested in civil serv

FIRST CAVALRY DIVISION
HEADQUARTERS, KOREA,
Aug. 17—(AP)— The telephone
at headquarters rang. It was
Capt. Herman West of Miami,
Fla., calling from a frontline
command post.
“Captain West reporting, sir,”
he said.
Go ahead, Captain,” the head
quarters officer said.
West began his report then
p.ansed. “pardon me a minute,

Firing could be heard over the

We just had a little fire-fight

can strike again. Their ability to
do this is limited only by the need
for continuing attacks on more dis
tant reinforcement and supply
centers, by the amount of bombs
the U. S. has in the far east and
on the way..
‘ln an emergency, not only could
the B-295. be used again agaimst
troops massing for an attack; they
could-be joined by the hundreds of
light bombers and fighter-bomb
ers which the Air Force, and Navy
and Marine Corps are operating in
support of ground troops all along
the front.
Airmen say the total number of
planes flying in Korea is not the
maximum that could be used ef
fectively there, But it is large
enough to strike an enormous blow
with conventional bombs when
concentrated on a_ single target
area.
Attack Area .
Unless and until -this conven
tional striking power proves in
adequate, the use of atomic bombs
is unlikely. .
In the massive superfortress
bombing, the area attacked was
seven and a half miles long and
three and a half wide.
To cover such“an area with
atomic blasts of fatal force, it
would take not one but something
like half a dozen A-bombs of the
power used at Hirfoshima. Au
thorities agree, however, that they
would kill far larger numbers of
the enemy than:would ordinary
bombs.
For safety's” sake, American
troops facing an area under atomic
attack would have to remain at a
greater distance than if the zone
were under attack with conven
tional explosives. . * 5

Tax Boost Near
Commitfee Okay
WASHINGTON, Aug. 17—(AP)
—President Truman’s $5,000,000,-
000 “first installment” tax boosting
tbill, expanded in Congress to put
| the nation’s tax system on virtual
ily a wartime footing, was set for
| formal approval by the Senate
Finance Committee today.
With Republicans joining Dem
ocrats in suppot"t*‘tt’temmency
measure, the committee may send
it to the Senate with its unanimous
[ blessing,
Before acting finally on the bill,
the committee expects to write in
a specific exemption, relieving
Gl's fighting the Korean War
from paying income taxes, and re
ducing the tax burden of their
officers, It already has approved
this idea in principle.
The measure increases indivi
dual income taxes by about $3,-
000,000,000 ~a year, and adds
$1,500,000,000 a year to the pay
ments corporations nrake to the
government. It will bring tax
]collections from individuals near
to their wartime peak.
In a move to encourage produc
tion to arm America against Com
munist aggression, the committee
yesterday expanded the scope of
'the measure, to restore a system
| used in World War 11.
| Under this plan, facilities built
or acquired for emergency pro
duction would be given special tax
treatment. They could write off
in five years—2o per cent a year—
‘the entire cost of the facilities as
deductions from gross income be
fore computing income taxes.
Under present tax law, normal
depreciation for such facilities
might take 20 years or more.
The idea of the special tax
treatment is to encourage industry
to get quickly into the business of
producing whatever the armed
forces need.
The committee also worked out
special corporation tax rates for
1950 income. It said that on all of
1950 corporation income, the tax
rates will be:
On the first $25,000 of income—
-23 per cent; on all over $25,000—
42 per cent,

Atfack Is Aimed At Two Soufh
Korean Divisions In Mountains
TOKYO, Friday, Aug. 18 — (AP) — Thirty thousand
North Koreans opened a massive drive on Taegu on the
central Korean warfront Thursday. They poured through
steep mountain passes 15 miles north of the South Korean
emergency capital. They were east of the Naktong river.
Only two South Korean divisions stood between them-.
and Taegu. South Koreans controlled the mountain pase
roads.
The Communists poured out of the B-29 bomber area
west of the river. They jumped off from an area between
Waegwan and Kunwi. ; A e
Thein attack started a few hours
after U. S. Marines and the 24th
infantry division struck a new al
lied blow at the 12,000-man Red
bridgehead on the east bank of
the Naktong river near Changn
yong, 23 miles southwest of Tae
gu.
The Marines had been pulled
out of the south coastal area where
they had made advances on Chin
ju. They were ordered back 20-
odd miles to the east and then
shunted northward for the Chan
gnyong attack.
The U. S. 25th infantry division
took the Marines’ places in the
coastal line just west of Masan,
Southern port which is 27 airline
miles east of Pusan. %
It was on the north cents‘?l
front, north of Taegu, that the
Reds were making their dangerous
threat, however,
The sudden thrust was described
by U. S. Bth Army headquarters
as the “most serious one to the
United Nations in Korea.”
1t followed a massed hombing
attack by 98 B-29s Wednesday
whieh was aimed to slow the Red
offensive.
AP correnpondent Leif Erick
son at army headquarters in
Korea said the north Koreans
were attacking with between
between 25,000 and 30,000 troops.
In the path -of the invaders
were two South Korean divisions.
The sudden outburst to the
north developed after U. S. Ma
rines and the U. 8. 24th infanfry
division jumped off with a counter
attack in the Reds’ Changnyorng
river-crossing bulge in a bloody
effort to drive the enemy back
across the Naktong.
The Marine-army attack roared
up a steep hill near Changnyong,
23 miles southwest of Taegu.
