WASHINGTON, Feb. 27—(AP)
The internal security of the Unit
ed States can be maintained only
with the full cooperation of all pa
{riotic Americans. As our mobili
zation program becomes a reality,
3= must expect that those who
vould like to weaken America will
move into action.
The Communist Party, SA, has
become more and more an under
ground organization,
It is imperative that the public

security and know the duties of
the various agencies which have
been designated to guard the na
tion’s military and economic se
crets from foreign agents and its
vital industrial facilities and eriti
cal areas from potential saboteurs
and subversive groups within the
country.
Citizen’s Responsibility
Every loyal citizen has a share
in this responsibility and if he
knows and understands the im
portance of his role as it relates to
the general program the task
ahead will be approached with
rational unity and full confidence.
The plan is cast on a nationwide
hasis. Certain investigative re
sponsibilities have been delegated
10 various agencies 'of the Federal
Government,
The public is aware that' the
FBI has been given the general
responsibility for the inyestigation
of espionage, sabotage and subver
¢ive activities within the United
States under the security program
s defined by executive orders and
ongressional enactments. -Other
phases of the responsibility have
seen assigned to various other
agencies of the government, for
anstance:

U. N. Forces Advance Steadily,
But Cautiously On Central Front
BY OLEN CLEMENTS
TOKYO, Feb. 27. — (AP) — An American regiment
cracked the main Korean Red defenses on the east-central
battlefront today after doughboys in the same sector
smashed five fierce Communist counterattacks.
The Reds wese being chased in
to an uncharted mountain wilder
ness.
“We have broken their main
line of resistance,” said Col. Wil
liam R. Quinn, commander of the
U, S. Seventh Division regiment
that broke through the Reds on the
east-west highway from Pangnim
to Wonju.
“But we’re not letting them
rest,”” he told AP Correspondent
Tom Stone. “We're going in after
them, and we're going to sweep
them out of the hills and the val
leys and caves.”
Quinn said his riflemen and ar
tillerymen were taking “a terrific
toll” of the enemy.
“Casualties Light
“Our casualties have been
amazingly light,” he added.
He described the terrain into
which his troops were chasing the
Reds as “wild and unmapped.”
Suplies were being carried “on
backs across ridges so steep that
my men literally are having to
crawl up them.”
“On one pinnacle the Reds
knocked us off the rocks,” he said.
All along the central warfront
United Nations forces moved
ahead steadily but cautiously.
- The five Korean Red counterat
tacks were hurled back by the U.
S. Second Division on the left
flank of the Seventh Division in
predawn darkness some 15 miles
southeast of Hoengsong. The fight
ing, in a howling wind, lasted
more than three hours:-
Field - digpatehes reported it was
one of the sharpest actions in the

Institutions, Businesses
To Get Needed Materials
WASHINGTON, Feb. 27. — (AP) — The government
issued an order today aimed to assure that every buuinesa*
enterprise, public and private institutfon will get limlteg;
quantities of materials needed to keep their plants an
facilities in operating condition. i
The order from the National
Production Authority (NPA) es
tablishes a special priority rating
for supplies for maintenance, re
pair and operations — excepting
materials going into end products.
The new order, a part of the
whole controls program, came om
the heels of one regulating the civ
ilian use of rubber products — af
fecting 40,000 items in all — and
at a time when a declaration of
national wage policy was immi
nent,
Manly Flesichmann, the NPA
administrator, said the new order
is designed to enable business and
industrial firms, schools and other
institutions to remain in good re
pair “ so that they can operate at
a maximum rate consistent with
direct defense requirements.”
Difficulty Encountered
He added in a news release that
many enterprises and institutions
are now having great difficukty in
obtaining materials and equipment
for such pux(?)oses.
NPA’s order permifs business
concerns and other institutions to
apply a priority rating, called
“Do-97," to order for maintenance
rejair and operating supplies with
%Aindividual authorization by
However, this priority rating
may not be used to purchase pro=-
duction material, which was de
scribed as material or parts to be
incorporated in end products. The
rating may be used to purchase
materials for minor ecapital addi=-
tions, defined as additions in
which the total cost of material
does not exceed $750 each. But it
may not be used to purchase major
capital items.
) Applies To All
The order applies to all business
enterprises and to any federal
stati or local governmental agen
cy. It applies also to any legal
public or private institution in the
United States, specifically includ
ing schools, libraries, hospitals,
churches, clubs, and welfare es
tablishments.
An order reducing or eliminat
ing the use of natural rubber in
a list of items ranging from auto
tires to baby pants and “falsies”
will be issued by Thursday and
will take effect that day.
The National Production Au
thority (NPA) announced the
forthcoming order last might.
Rubber Limitation
By lmiting usage of natural
rubber to percentages ranging
down to zero, de'gending on the
type of product, the order in ef

of natural rubber. Imports beyond
