New iiaster Plan To Curb
[utiation Reported Ready
WASHINGTON, April 4.—(AP)—lnflation is the na
tion’s greatest problem but it “ can be controlled,” Defense
Mobhilizer Charles E. Wilson declared today. e
Wilson appeared before the Sen
ate-House “Watchdog” committee
on mobilization as the administra
ion was reported ready with a
entative new mrasier plan to
mother infiation with interlock
ng business, farm and labor price
rontrols.
At the same time President Tru
man appeared set to take personal
sharge of the effort to woo labor
pack as an active element in the
mobilization command.
Inflation Plight
In advance of the committee
hearéng, which is part of a public
survey of the defense program,
Senator Fulbright (D.-Ark.) said
a “terrible” inflation plight con
fronts the country and that Con
gress “certainly is partly to
blame.” |
In his'prepared staterment, Wil-.
son reviewed the highlights of the
week-end report he made to Pres
ident Truman on building Ameri
ca’s might.
He reiterated that the task of
whipping inflation is in many
ways “a tougher test of our ability
to survive” than attaining high
production,
“We take the view that inflation
can be controlled,” Wilson said.
“In order to do this, however, we
must have the national will and
the national unity to take the ne

Another Allied force nearby
punched two miles into Red Ko
rea in the Yongpyong area,
Earlier reports said an American
patrol had crossed Parallel 38 on
the central front and routed Chi
nese Reds from two hills. The pa
trol was probing the outer areas
of a huge Red buildup where al
most one-half million Communist
troops were massed for an expect
ed Red offensive.

In the air, American Sabre jets
destroyed one Russian-type MIG~
15 jet fighter and damaged two
others Wednesday in a swirling
dogfight near the Manchurian
border.
Other Allied planes ripped into
Communist ground forces and sup
ply lines. They destroyed four
tanks, six trucks and five railroad
cars in 270 sorties flown by noon.
From the central front came an
ominous report that a large group
of Reds was moving into the Com
munist buildup area north of 38.
Intelligence reports say there
are nearly 500,000 combat troops
in this area, primed for the long
expected Red offensive. Korea's
rainy spring weather and glue~
like mud will favor the Reds. They
may launch their greatest attack
of the war any day now,
For the second straight day the
big air battle was fought near sin
uiju south of the Yalu river.
Twelve F-88 Sabre jets tangled
with eight red-nosed MIGs. The
Communists broke off and raced to
refuge in their Manchurian sanc
tuary. 1
No Allied Losses
In two days the Sabre jets have
knocked down four MIGs and
damaged seven others. No Allied
losses have been reported. Official
pictures raised Tuesday's toll to
three destroyed and five damaged.
Fifth Air Force fighters and
bombers hammered the Red trans
port network. Preliminary reports
Wednesday showed 28 vehicles
damaged or destroyed and several
direct hits on the Sonchon rail
yards.
U. N. ground and Air Forces
claimed 1,795 enemy casualties in
Tuesday’s fighting. The U. S.
Eighth Army reported 1,410, Fifth
Air Force 250 and carrier-based
Marine planes 135.
Cross Border
Two American tank forces that
crossed the border Tuesday in the |
west pushed two and one-half
miles into Red Korea before they
were forced to withdraw.
The crossings were made in the!
Yonchon sector north of Seoul. ‘
Farther west, South Korean
forces crossed the cold Imjin river
at two points and met heavy Chi
nese resistance. A Chinese coun
ter-attack pushed one group back
despite heavy Allied artillery and
air barrages. One force was four
miles northwest of Munsan and
another was five miles northwest |
of the battered city. Both forces
withdrew. ‘

WASHINGTON, Apil 4—(AP)
—A House Democratic leader,
popping into the opposition eol
‘umn, came out today for a draft
bill shorn of its universal military
training section.
Rep. Barden, of North Carolina,
chairman of the Education and La
bor committee, thus joined a
group of Republicans headed by
gfia. Short, of Missouri, who say
T has no prace in the new
“dra!t bill. Short calls it a “shot
m_.woédinqv [ 'I” :
Besides setting up & lon{-range
UMT tKrc»gram for training 18 year
olds, the bill drops the draft age to
18 and a half and extends the pe
riod of service to 26 months.
UMT wouldn’t start operating
until after the present emexl'fency
is over and the draft itself can
be stopped.
Despite Barden’s opposition
Chairman Vinson (D-Ga) of the
House Armed Services committee
is confident the twin-purpose bill
will get House approval.
The Senate has already passed
a similar measure.
Troops-To-Europe
As debate on the House bill en
tered its second day, there was no
sign that Republicans had eased
their demands for writing into
the bill a legal ban on the trans
fer of troops without congression
al approval to Gen. Dwight D,
Eisenhower’s Atlantic Pact Army.
That troop issue headed for a
final vote in the Senate today.
Only a few minor amendments—
and some more oratory — stood
between approval of a simple res
olution, having no force in law,
which would put the Senate on
record asi
1. Approving President- Tru
man’s plan to send four U, 8. di
visions to join the two already as
signed to General Eisenhower.
2. Saylng that mno additional
troops should be sent in peace
time “without congressional ap
proval.” Administration leaders
fought that part of the resolution.
The administration won a major
bout yesterday when opponents
failed in an attempt to chanie the
form of the resolution so that it
might eventually become actual
law.
As it is, however, the resolution
is just an advisory opinion.
The House has taken no action
yet on the trooops issue,
Crime Work
Meanwhile, Senator Tobey (R~
NH), one of the Senate crime in
vestigators, sald that three new
witnesses, long wanted ‘fi’ the
committee “should-not be allowed
to escape questioning just because
they « . . . eluded the committee
for so long.”
He urged proempt reopening of
the hearing to take testimony
from Charles and Rocco Fischetti,
whom he called “Kingspins in the
gambling world.”
The Fischetti brothers — _and a
third newly-captured witness,
Murray L. (The Camel) Humph
reys — surrendered within the
past two days. They are free un
der bond.
Committee Chairman Kefauver
(D-Tenn) told reporters “provis
ion will be made” to get their tes
timony.
But first, he said, the committee
must complete a final report on
its coast-to-coast crime inquiry.
That is due the end of this month.
Ship Deals
In another investigation devel
opment today, Senator Fulbright
(D-Ark) handed.his Senate Bank
ing subcommittee the task of
picking one of two other commit
tees as the proper group to probe
rich profits in surplus ship deals.
The Fulbright subcommittee has
heard testimony that Joseph E.
Casey and others reaped a $2,800,~
000 profit on a SIOO,OOO investment
in oil tankers purchased from the
old Maritime Commission.
No wrong-aoing has been
charged by any senator, but both
