Address For War Hint
LAKE SUCCESS, Aug. 23.— (AP) —Segurity Council
delegates studied Russian Jakob A. Malik’s latest speech
closely today for hints of a new war threat. ;
They weighed Malik’s statement to the Council yester
day that “continuation of military operations in Korea
would lead not to a localization of the conflict, as the rep
resentative of the United States so diligently tries to con
vince us, but would inevitably lead to a broadening of the
conflict fraught with serious consequences.” 7
Profifs Levy
Seen As Rider
On Tax Increase
WASHINGTON, Aug. 23—(AP)
—A top administration leader said
today the Senate is likely to add a
$3,500,000,000-plus corporation ex~
cess profits tax to the $5,000,000,-
000 tax boosting bill. 2
But chairman George (D.-Ga.)
of the Senate Finance Committee
told newsmen he does not think so.
Senate tax debate is set to begin
tomorrow. It may be a slam-bang
affair. .
In a late move that may at
fract some new support, Senator
O'Mahoney (D.-Wyo.) softened
his excess profits proposal to make
the top tax 85 per cent, instead
of 100, on highest corporation
earnings that exceed *“normal”
profits,
His aim, he said, was “to re
move any danger that the excess
profits tax might adversely affect
th~ incentives to produce.”
He would make the tax effective
last July 1.
If the excess profits levy carries,
the bill is expected to yield SB,-
900,000,000 or more a year, instead
of the $5,000,000,000 President
lruman asked as a “first install
ment” on paying for thé Korean
War and America’s ruging defense

“The responsibility for this
vgud.Hagh v upon. the, govern
ment of “the United™ States of
America and their delegation in
the Security Council,” Malik de
clared.
The United States has demand
ed that U. N. members work to
localize the Korean war and that
the North Koreans withdraw to
the 38th parallel. Russia has call
ed for withdrawal of all foreign
troops from Korea.
. In a 48-minute attack the Rus
sian accused the United States,
aided by Great Britain, of waging
an “open armed aggression against
the Korean people and other Asia
tic people who struggle for their
independence and national sover
eignty.” The U.S. he asserted, at
tempts “to cover up this aggression
with the label of the flag of the
United Nations.”
.It was the ninth “no action”
session of the council since Malik
ended the seven-month Soviet
boycott and took over the group’s
presidency Aug. 1. His terms ends
Aug. 31.
Both U. S. representative War
ren Austin and Britain’s Sir Glad
wyn Jebb in reply charged Malik
with using Hitlerian propaganda
techniques.
The Russian charge, said Austin,
is “a lie, a big lie.” Jebb termed
Malik’s statement a "’gigantic false~
hood,” adding that in propaganda
“the bigger the falsehood, the bet
ter the chance it has of being be
lleved.”
Austin said Malik was employ
ing Hitler's trick of “concealing
guilt by accusation.”
The Russian in his lengthy re
view of the Soviet version of the
Korean war, charged that the
«American bloc” headed by the
United States and Britain, was
attempting to turn “the United
Nations into an obedien%e tool of
the aggressive policfv of the Amer
jican ruling circles.”

2nd Hurricane Blows ltself Out
MIAMI, Fla., Aug. 23— (AP)—
The second hurricane of the season
has blown itself out.
The tropical storm, spawned in
the same general area as hurri
cane No. 1, degenerated into a wide
squall area in the eastern Carib
bean Sea last night after smashing
tiny Antigua Island with 120-mile
an hour winds.
Observers said the storm was
little more than a series of gusty
squalls with winds of 30 to 35
miles an hour in the roughest
spots.

TOKYO, Thursday, Aug. 24.— (AP) —Doughboys drove ‘
back vanguards of 50,000 Red Koreans pressing down
from the north against Taegu on the Korean central war
front yesterday.
A combined American-South Korean attack was hurled
at North Korean flanking infiltrators at dawn. Some Reds
had penetrated within eight miles of Taegu.
The heaviest fighting on the whole 120-mile long Korean
battleline was on the American right flank before Taegu.
A break-through by Red for-, heavy.
ward elements would unleash five’ The Reds brought out hoarded
Communist divisions for a drive
on Taegu, 12 miles to the south on
the bloodiest fighting.
A big push for Taegu was con
sidered imminent but there was
no official mention of it at head
quarters. General MacArthur
omitted his early morning war
summary, a usual indication that
the situation is generally un
changed.
On the Taegu front troops fought
over a 100-yard-wide no-man’s
land. Big guns and planes poured
deadly fire into the narrow line
and casualties were believed to be
automatic weapons: Search of his cloth

Col. John Michaelis, commander

head at the front quoted Colonel
Michaelis as saying:
“The next 48 hours could bring
a decision. If we can stop them,
we will break the back of this
drive.” .
AP Correspondent Tom Lambert
reported from the Taegu front that
hundreds of Reds attacked Ameri
can artillery positions that were
pounding a wedge the Communists
had shoved into the frontline. No
U. S. guns were knocked out in
that attack.
Road Attack
Lambert said the North Koreans
tried to cut the Allied road from
Taegu but succeeded in slowing
supolies only briefly Wednesday.
The main Kumwha - Taegu
mountain highway from the north
was the battleline. Ridges lining
it were commanded by the Reds
when the doughboys jumped off
against them.
In an all-day fight the Ameri
cans drove the Reds from several
commanding ridges. One annoy
ing Red artillery position was si
lenced. early. . =
'The Communists met the Ameri

One U. S. unit, attacking over
ridges to the east of the main sup
ply road, drove the Reds back on
the American right flank, Cor
respondent Lambert said, *
The shifting North Koreans
forced some U. S. engineers from
their positions in the line.
The engineers, who called them
selves “enginfantry,” counterat
tacked and regained their positions
after killing 52 North Koreans.
Lt. Anthony Pecoraro of South
Windham, Maine, his voice tremb
ling with rage, told correspondent
Lambert of one incident of the
battle:
“I got word one of my machine
gunners had been killed. A medie
and two infantrymen had gone out

“They were bending over the
gunner when 12 of those Red bas- |

stomach and bayonetted the two
soldiers. Then they shot the medic |

Widow Awarded
Wallace Damages
ATLANTA, Aug. 23— (AP) —
John Wallace says he doesn’t know

damages to the widow of the man
?e has been convicted of murder
ng.
Wallace, under death sentence,
and Herring Sivell, under life sen

pay $7,500 damages to Mrs. Wilson
Turner. They and two other men
were convicted of killing Turner,
a tenant farmer on Wallace’s farm.
“I'm absolutely flat,” said Wal
lace, who is held in jail in Atlan
ta. “I'm devoid of funds to pay
any part of it, Where I'm sitting
now I simply haven’'t any way
of figuring out where to get any
money.”
“In fact,” he added, wryly, “I'm
not too sure that I'm not entitled to
some damages myself — from
what I've been through.”
He has appealed his sentence
several times to the Georgia Su
preme court and now has an appeal
before the U. S. Supreme Court.

UNIONS PLEDGE
RAIL STRIKES
WON'T SPREAD
WASHINGTON, Aug. 23. — (AP) — Two striking rail}
unions promised “for the time being” today to keep theigt
token walkouts from spreading into a tieup of nationwide
proportions. :
Leaders of 300,000 trainmen and conductors agreed t@
withdraw their threat to strike one or more major raile
roads when this week’s five-day shutdowns at three termi=
nals and two steel-carrying railroads have run their COUTSe,
The White House kept up itsl
determined prodding for a solu
tion to the long wage-hour dispute ‘
between the two unions and the
nation’s principal railroads.
Presidential Assistant John R.
Steelman asked negotiations com-~
mittees of the carriers and unions
to be ready to resume talks at any
moment.
The union chiefs said through
a spokesman that they would fore
go any new walkout orders out of
consideration for President Tru-}
man’s peace efforts, They said the
move had not been requested by
President Truman but was out of
“respect for him.” There was no
indication how iong the voluntary
moratorium on strikes would last.
Three terminals wer struck
Monday in Cleveland, Louisville
and St. Paul, and two short but
strategic railroads were shut down
yesterday. The rail lines were the
Elgin, Joliet and Eastern and the
Pittsburgh and Lake Erie.
The strikes were called for only
five days, in a maneuver by the
unions to avoid any strike-ending
injunction but to hasten govern
ment seizure of the roads. Three
times -the unions have formally
called upon Mr. Truman so seize
the properties, saying they’ll work
'for the government at the present
wage and hour contract.
Both sides acknoledged there
had been no progress at yester
‘day’s White House meetings.
' Still in the picture was an offer
made by the railroads last Satur
day to grant wage increases in ex
change for a three-year, no-strike
agreement. The wage hike to mem
bers of -the two unions in yard
service would amount to 23 cents
an hour, to help offset the loss of
pay in cutting back from 48 hours
to 40 a week.
The unions want the shorter
week at the same pay for work in
the yards. They are asking for
wage hikes for those in train ser
vice outside the yards.
The employers also offered a
five-cent hourly pay increase for
those in train service.
The railroads’ negotiating com
mittee said the union demands
would cost $60,000,000 annually.
They estimated their offer would

Korean Victory ’
WASHINGTON, Aug. 23—(APH
—ls the armed forces can win 8
Korean victory without any mor
money than they have asked
up to now this war will be cheap
in dollars—as modern confliets go.
Just how much of the extrs
money asked since the sigh
started will go to prosecuting
Korean conflict the militaryy
doesn’t say publicly. - However,
some guesses range about $5,000,« 7
000,000.
But there is no certainty the
outlay will stop there. Secretary
of Defense Johnson and other mils
Jtary leaders have cautioned Cone !
gress they may have’to come backs
for more money. :
The Navy and Air Force dis
closed their estimates in pugfln“
testimony at hearin%a on ree
quest for $10,500,02 ,000 in nebw y
defense funds sent to Congress by
President Truman on July 24. An
other supplemental request on
Aug. 4 totaled about $1,100,000,000,
The navy said that only aheo
$1,000,000,000 of its proposed $2.
648,029,000 slice of the $10,500,~
000,000 appropriation was believed |
needed for the Korean War. i
Air Force officials said they
were “carrying an estimate of 1
$1,600,000,000,” for the Korean op=
eration.
The Army set down no estimate
in the publis;xfidi ;;erm of the
testimony. Officia
one of the reasons for.m m
requests for material g'mano
power made by the Far come
mand are changing constantly,
Army Share
However, the Army is carrying
by far the heaviest share of th¢
hard fighting in Korea. Its exes
penditure of ammunition, its loss
of equipment and material, itg
maintenance of men and war geap
is far beyond those for the othz |
services — perhaips more th !
double the total of the other two. |
The extra appropriation requests |
sent to capltol hill by Mr. Trus
man were for a dual purpose—=
part to wafie the Korean Wa;
part to go into the rearmamen
program to expand-and improve
the armed forces.
