Posifion Despit
Allied Atfack
BY DON HUTH
TOKYO, Sunday, May 13.
—(AP) —Chinese Reds ex
pa.nded a three-mile-wide
bridgehead south of the
Choyang river in central
Korea Saturday in the teeth
of fierce Allied air, ground
and artillery attacks.
American infantry battled six
hours in a vain effort to repulse
the column threatening to out
flank strategic Chunchon from
i the southeast, Then the American
iforce broke contact and with=
i drew,
About 1,000 Reds speared the
Communist thrust across the river
with mortars and automatic wea
pon fire, -
Allied artillery hammered at an
estimated division of Chinese Reds
also reported south of the Choyang
and east of Chonchon, Two North
Korean regiments were father east
near Inje.
Quiet Sector
In the west, the Reds laboriously
hauled heavy artillery into posi
tions some 20 miles or less north
of Seoul. That sector was rela
tively quiet Saturday, however.
Clouds of smoke from smudge
pots and burning timbers rose
over Red concentrations all along
the war front.
Through the haze, Allied pilots
reported Communist troops mov
ing and spread out for miles
along the North Korean hin
terland,
The Reds marched about 50
yards apart to present more dif
ficult targets for strafing Allied
planes.
They were headed south and
east fronr the Communist collect
ing points above Hwachon, 15
miles north of Chunchon, the pi
lots said.
Chunchon, now a no-man’s
town eight miles south of the 38th
parallel and 45 miles northeast of
Seoul, controls rail and road net
works radiating through Xorea’s
mountainous center.
There was no indication when
or where the Reds would strike
next.
The mam movement behind the
Red front Saturday was to the
east above Chunchon. Red forces
crammed convoys of trucks and
motorcycles from Hwachon toward
Yanggu at the eastern tip of the
big Hwachon _reservoir — third
largest in all Korea. - Lt

On the western front, the U, S.

| Uijongbu, which is 11 miles north
| of Seoul, reported about 200 Reds
| and an unknown number of artile
lery pieces in the area. Censor
ship concealed the exact loca= |
| tion. |
| Patrols were active in the Pup- |
{ yong and Kapyong areas, 15 to 32 |
| miles northeast of Seoul, where |

| been spotted. 5
‘ A dozen U, S. F-86 Sabre Jets |

east of the Yalu river boundary
Saturday. One MIG was damaged
while the first streaked for home.
All of the Sabres returned without E
damage, the Air Force said. |

Internal Security
Commission Quits
’ Resignations Of
Nimifz, Oth
Imiiz, viners
By D. HAROLD OLIVER
WASHINGTON, May 12—(AP)
Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz
and seven other members of a
presidential commission set up to
safeguard the nation’s internal se
curity against Communism have
resigned, President Truman an
nounced today.
The resignations followed the
refusal of a Senate committee
headed by Senator McCarran (D.-
Nev.) to recommend special legis
lation exempting commission
members and their staff from cer
tain federal laws.
These laws forbid anyone to
draw government pay while do
ing business with the government
or representing clients before fed
eral agencies. Some of the com
missioners are lawyers active be
fore federal agencies.
MeCarran Position
MecCarran has taken the position
that the law should apply to them
as well as anybody else. He has
frequently been critical of the ad
ministration, contending among
other things that it has not been
sufficiently diligent in moving
against subversives,
President Truman announced
that he was refusing to accept the
resignations pending a further de
cision on the exemption legisla
tion which McCarran’s Senate Ju
diciary Committee has blocked.
The White House made public a
letter the President wrote today to
McCarran asking the committee
to reverse its position. The House
already has passed the exemption
- measure, but the Senate group
voted 6 to 3 against it on April 30.
| To Make Study
The Internal Security Commis~
sion, headed by Nimitz, was ap
pointed last Jan. 23 by Mr. Tru
man to make a full study of the
nation’s security problems and re- |
port on how they could be met
while at the same time preserving
personal liberties. It has been in
operative pending a decision on
the exemption legislation.
Nine members were appointed
to the commission. All submitted
their resignations except indus
trialist Harvey S. Firestone jr. The

Marshall Warns That Russia
Could Plunge World Into War
BY DON WHITEHEAD
WASHINGTON, May 12.— (AP)—Secretary of De
fense Marshall declared today ‘‘we are moving towaré. -
success’” in ending Red Chinese aggression in Korea, but
warned that Russia is the “real opponent” who could
plunge the world into war,
On the sixth day of his marathon testimony in the
Senate’s MacArthur hearings, he declared the Red Chi
nese are “losing many thousands of people with each
operation.”
“We are destroying them, in one sense, day by day,”
he said.
But he declared that Russia might march against
Western Europe at any moment. And he stuck stead
fastly to the administration thesis that the risk of pro
voking Russian inervention in Asia forbids the high
command to follow the strategy advocated by General
Douglas MacArthur.
MacArthur was deposed for disagreeing with the ad
ministration and publicly advocating such steps as a
blockade of Red China, bombing of Manchurian bases
and the use of Chiang Kai-shek’s Nationalist troops.
The Senate Fereign Relations and Armed Services Com
mittees are inquiring into the whole momentous issue.
