ed we mee: our quota through the
mails.”
Billboards, newspapers, radio
and magazines have joined in the
1951 crusade to remind the pub
lic that cancer strikes one out of
five citizens. Patients whose ills
were diagnosed in time, and pa~-
tients whose lives are doomed
have lent their voices to the plea
for funds to continue research, ed
ucation and improved techniques
of treatment carried on by the
American Cancer Society.
Athens press and radio coop
erate in a year round program of
public information and service, to
spread the news that cancer can
be cured, if diagnosed in time,
Mr. Bondurant points out. A full
time tumor clinic is operated at
Athens General Hospital, where
patients throughout northeast
Georgia are treated. Research
centers throughout the nation car=

Bodies Returned

The Defense Department said to

Korea fighting are being returned
to the United States aboard the

San Francisco tomorrow.
BY NORMAN WALKER
WASHINGTON, April 21.—(AP)—The government
tonight announced a tough new price eontrol policy sow
bidding industries to raise prices if profits exceed & sot
standard.
Under this yardstick standard, no industry will be
permitted to increase prices if the industry’s dollar
profits amount to 85 percent or more of the average of
its three best years during the four-year period 1946
1949, inclusive.
The step was announced by Economie Stabilizer Erie
Johnston. It is one of a series designed to tighten inflas
tion controls. .
Wage Hike Curb
Also in the works are a drastic revision of manufac
turers’ price ceilings and plans to clamp a freeze both
on living-cost wage increases for labor and parity boosts
for agriculture. v
Johnston laid down the profit yardstick in an order
to Price Director Michael V. DiSalle. ;
Officials said that, even though individual firms
within an industry fall below the 85 percent profit
standard, they won’t get consideration for higher price
ceilings, except in “unusual hardship” cases, 8o long as
their entire industry is above the 85 percent standard.
“I want to emphasize that this is going to be a very
tough policy,” Johnston told reporters. “We will get &
lot of squawks. It will mean that most cost increases will
have to be absorbed.”
He said that in every industry there are always some

He said the new standard is a *lomg-range poliey,™
and will be immediately effective in those industries
where dollars-and-cents price ceilings already have been
put into ffect.
DiSalle will announce a manufacturers price regula
tion next Wednesday, Johnston said, as an interim step
toward establishing further dollars and cents ceilings
for respective industries.

The manufacturers price regulation ils expected to re

DiSalle has said this will result in generally lower

margins requiring the benefits of lower costs to them to

Johnston indicated that a producer of scare metal or

stiffer controls on other elements of the economy.
BY OLEN CLEMENTS
TOKYO, Sunday, April 22,— (AP) —Allied artillery and
warplanes broke up Communist efforts to reinforce their
battered units on the central Korean front Saturday and
sent hundreds of North Korean Reds fleeing north in
panic.
~ Allied ground forces moved up
quickly for “substantial gains,” the
U. 8. Eighth Army announced.
A heavily censored field dispatch
from AP Correspondent Stan Car
ter said Allied forces now hold all
territory south and east of the
Pukhan river as well as great
chunks of land to the north and
west,
While fighting faded along most
of the front, strong Chinese Com
munist resistance still blocked the
Allied advance on Chorwon in the
west. That el.2my bastion, 18 miles
north of the 38th parallel, is the
junction for five road and rail net
works used in the buildup of Com
munist forces in North Korea.
It appeared likely that a delay
ing action was being fought at
Chorwon while the main body of
Communist = forces — estimated
600,000 strong—pulled back to a
new mountain defense line deeper
inside North Korea.
Red Withdrawal Ordered
A Chinese prisoner said Red
troops have been ordered to with
draw to the 39th parallel-—69 miles
inside North Korea—to await re
inforcements.
AP Correspondent Bill Shinn re
ported South Korean Army in
terrogation of the prisoner yielded
the information. There was no Al~
lied confirmation of the report.
A retreat to the 39th parallel
would form a new deiense line
running from Pyongyang, the
Communist capital in the west,
across the narrow 100-mile-wide
neck of Korea to a point south of
Wonsan, port on the east coast.
Wonsan has been besieged by Al
lied warships for 64 straight days.
Reds Fighting
The Reds still showed fighting
determination to hoid ridges
guarding the south and southwest
approaches to Chorwon. An Allied
company fought its way back up
a 1,500-foot ridge early Saturday
after counterattacking Reds drove
through the lines at one point Fri
day night and separated two Al
lied elements.
AP Correspondent Jim Becker
on the central front said Allied
artillery had a field day Saturday.
Long tom rifles and big howitzers
caught several large North Ko
rean groups in the open as they
moved south, and pounded them

M’ARTHUR AIDE SAYS:
War Preparation By
Red China Unknown
At Wake Island Meet
NEW YORK, April 21. — (AP) — An aide to General
MacArthur said today as far as he knew no one had the
slightest idea at the time of the Wake Island conference
that Red China was preparing to enter the Korean war.
Major General Courtney Whit
ney issued this statement:
“As far as I know, neither the
State Department nor higher in
telligence agencies of the govern
ment had the slightest evidence to
warn of such a decision,
“Certainly, no such warnings
were given General MacArthur.
To the contrary, all appeared to
discount the possibility of such
intervention at that stage.”
: Reply to Story
Whitney’s statement came as a
reply to questions raised by a New
York Timesg story from Washing
ton.
This story said administration
records disclosed that MacArthur
had assured President Truman at
the Wake Island conference last
October that he did not believe
the Chinese would intervent — or
that they were a threat,
The story also implied that
General MacArthur had badly un
derestinrated the fighting ability
of the Chinese.
The Times story gave a detailed
report of the Wake Island meeting
last Otober 15 and described Mac-
Arthur as being so confident of
victory by Thanksgiving that he
was willing to release by January |
(1951) some of his best troops for
duty in Europe. ‘
The report immediately kicked
up stormy reaction in the now bit
ter disputz between MacArthur
and Mr. Truman over Asia pelicy,
Republican House Leader Mar
tin (Mass.) said here attempts to
“smear” MacArthur as a military
leader would not succeed.
“Smear Record”
“l wunderstand,” Martin said,
“that certain groups in the admin
istration are trying to smear Gen
eral MacArthur’s record, but they
won’t get away with it.”
House Speaker Rayburn (D.-
Texas) said in Washington the
Timres’ account was “no news to
me.”
But Whitney declared there
were no stenographic notes taken
at the conference and part of it
was a secret meeting between only
MacArthur and the President.
The implication seemed to be
that any detailed report of the
Wake Island meeting could come
only from President Truman him
self.
The Times story, among other
things, sald MacArthur had apol
ogized to the President for any
embarrassment caused by their
differences over adnrinistration
policy toward Formosa.

Truman Accused
! "
lOf One-Sided
| By JACK BELL
WASHINGTON, April 21—(AP)
-~Republicans in Congress accused
the Truman administration today
of leaking a “one-sided” account of
a presidential conference on the
lKorean war in an effort to “dis~
credit” Gen. Douglas MacArthur.
’ At the same time, Chairman
| Russell (D-Ga.) told reporters the
' Senate Armed Serviges Committee
| will demand “all available docu
- ments”—including those covering
| President Truman’s Wake Island
}meeting with MacArthur last
October—in its inquiry inte far
leastern military and foreigm poli
cies.
| GOP Reaction 7
~ Republicans reacted stormily
after reading a New York Times
Dispatch from Washington dealing
with the Wake Island Conference.
The Dispatch said that, according
to administration records made at
the time, MacArthur was se con
fident of victory in Korea that he
offered what he regarded as his
best troops, the United States Sec
ond Division, for service in
Europe.
The dispatch added that aceord
ing to the documented sources,
Gen. MacArthur apologized for
embarrassing the President on the
Formosa issue, and predicted the
Chinese Communists would not
enter the Korean conflict.
- In more recent months, policy
differences between the President
~and MacArthur mounted, and re
sulted in the general’s removal
from the far east command.
Rep. Martin of Massachusetts,
House Republican leader, said in
New York that administration
groups are trying to “smear” Mac-
Arthur ‘“‘but they won’t get away
with it.”
Accuses Truman
Senator Capehart (R-Ind.), who
has threatened to fight amyone
who calls him a “Warmonger” be
cause he supports MacArthur's
views, told reporters he thinks
President Truman himself is re
sponsible for the leak in hitherto
confidential documents.
Senator Cain (R-Wash ) said the
information “obviously was plant
ed by someone.”
Senator Knowland (R-Calif.)
held a news conference in Baoston
to express belief that Congress
“will demand all pertinent infor
mation and documents pertaining
to the ouster” of Gen. MacArthur.
Knowland said a report by Gen.
Albert Wedemeyer on Korea st'll
is being withheld. If it had been
available, he said, Congress would
have insisted that steps be taken
which might have provented ag
gression in Korea last June.
Senator Capehart iold reperters
the information given out en the
Wake conference was “1 one-sided
story-—only Truman's side.”
