Armed Forces Day was observed
here today with a colorful pano
rama of tanks, planes, and march
ing soldiers on parade. Special
ceremonies held in Fine Arts au
ditorium highlighted the day’s
festivities. ;
“In my opinion, the Soviet Un

secure it,” said Brigadier General
John A. Dabney, commanding
general of Camp Gordon, in his
speech at Fine Arts auditorium.
General Dabney is a former assist
ant chier or stalf for operaiions of
the Righth Army in Korea.
General Dabney added: “Qur
Air, Navy, and Marines teamed to~
gether in Korea to support our on
rushing ground forces. Had we not
received such splendid support
from the Air Forces we could have
been pushed into the sea months
e
This evidence of teamwork is in
keeping with this year’s joint
Armed Forces Day slogan; “De
fenders of Freedom,” which in
cludes all persons serving in the
nations armed forces.
General Dabney told the audi
ence of Athenians and University
students that what has held the
Reds back is the atomic bomb.
Those leading the parade were:
Colopel F, W, Whitney, Colonel F.
M. Armstrong, both Regular Army
retired; and Lt Colonel E. H.
Downs, U. S. A. R.
Lt. Colonel Robert G Stephens

Slated By Women
HOUSTON, Tex., May 17—
(AP) — The 2,000 delegates to the
National Convention of the Fed
eration of Women’s clubs begin
today a drive to combat world
Communism.
The brogram is a national cam
paign for CARE packages to Ko
rea.
“The whole purpose of extend
ing women’s club work to foreign
nations is to create a better un
derstanding in order to combat
Communism,” said Mrs. Jehn L.
Whitehurst of Baltimore, Md.
“I’s the Russian policy to be
little America and help the people
in need,” said Mrs: Whitehurst,
who is chairman for the Council
of International Clubs of the fed
eration. g =
'-T‘Wé-l'l, we are going to do what
we can to answer that in our own
way,” she said. : v
| Sparking the campaign are 23
women from 11 foreign nations
who are international delegates to
the six-day convention that open
‘ed here Monday.
! Coming in today is the foreign
minister of Korea, Y. T. Pyun,
who will tell the women what
they can do to help his c_ountry:
The superintendent of schools
from Topeka, Kas., told the wo
men last night that they must
keep the spirit of competition in
the schools. : i
l “Life is not just one big con
| tinuous festival where no one ex
' cels and no one loses,” Superin
+tendent Kenneth McFarland said.
“Therefore the schocls which pre
pare for life should not operate
under the delusion that no one
can achieve more than anyone
else.
“At the adult level this theory
is Communism, but somehow we
are making ourselves believe at
the childhood level it is democ
racy.” b
Yesterday the Clubwomen
balked at endorsing universal
military training and service for
their sons. They returned a reso
lution endorsing the proposal
back to a committee for revision.
Mrs. H. B. Ritchie of Athens,
Ga.. chairman of the resolution
committee, said, “It's a matter of
putting men into the trenches
now; it's a matter of having a cit
izenry with every ahle bodied man
trained.” s i
She said that the resolution
chose 18. years as the age for uni

will disrupt a boy’s life least.”

Waves Of Attacking Chinese Reds
Fail To Break Through U. N. Lines
Bradley Refusal To Discuss
Talks With Truman Upheld.
Senate Probers Yote 18 To 8
To Sustain Russell Decision
WASHINGTON, May 17.—(AP)—Senate investigators
upheld today the refusal of General Omar N, Bradley to
testify about President Truman’s private talks with his ad
visers on firing General Douglas MacArthur,
Senator McMahon (D.-Conn.) said the vote was 18 to 8.
The aection sustained a decision by Senator Russell (D.-
Ga.), chairman of the joint Armed Services and Foreign
Relations Committee, that Bradley had a right to keep
silent on the talks. T
Bradley declined on Tuesday to
tell the committees, in response to
questions by Senator Wiley (R~
Wis), what was said at a White
House conference April 6 which
led to the President’s dismissal of
MacArthur as Pacific commander
on April 11.
A vote to overturn Russell’s
ruling could have led to a formal
demand that Pradley answer the
questions or face possible charges
of contempt of Congress.
While the Senators were settling
this matter, President Truman put
i in some licks for his point of view
in the controversy with MacAr
thur over Korean war strategy.
In a speecn to a national confer
ence on Citizenship, the President
lashed out at “some senators and
some other people” who he said
would have this country “go for
an all-out war in China all by
ourselves.”
His statement, in relation to
other remarks, made it plain he
had reference in particular to
MacArthur and to Senator Taft
(R-Ohio).
For two days, the Senate Mae
by the argument over what
tude should be taken toward the
refusal by Bradley, chairman .of
the joint chiefs of staff, to tell
who said what to whom at the
April 6 White House meeting.
The sharp words and charges of
playing politics came into the de
bate.
Some Republicans insisted, how
ever, that the whole course of the
inquiry into MacArthur’s dismiss
al and the differences over Far
Eastern policy would be affected.
Particular Concern
They indicated particular con
cern that Secretary of State Ach
eson, who is to be a witness later,
might refuse to answer many
questions on the ground they in
volved his confidential relations
with the President.
| -BY and large, the argument of
|those upholding Russell’s decision
! was that the constitution’s division
[of powers between Congress and
ithe Executive Department denied
to Congress the right to demand
“confidential information” from
the President.
Whiley disagreed with the Jegal
argument ana contended the in
quiry panel had a right to know
about the talks at the White House
meeting which he said had the
purpose “to get MacArthur—to lay
a basis for his removal.”
The decision cleared the way
for the committees to go back to
| actual hearings. There had been
|talk of a session Friday with
either Admiral Forrest P. Sherman
or Gen. Hoyt Vandenberg as the
witness. They are the chiefs of
staff members for the Navy and
‘Air Force, respectively,
But Russell announced he had
! decided not to have another hear
iing session until Monday when
{ Bradley will return to the stand.
He said he had to give a good deal
of time this week end to pending
draft-manpower legislation.
Senate Rules
Under Senate rules, Wiley could
carry his fight on the Bradley
question to the Senate itself and
ask a vote there on whether Rus=

Proposal A
"War Invitation'
WASHINGTON, May 17—(AP)
President Truman today hung an‘
“invitation-to-war” tag on a pro=
posal by Senator Taft (R.-Ohio) to
reduce the manpower goal of the
armed forces by 500,000 men. |
If Congress should permit thel
defense program to “get snarled
up, or delayed, or slashed, we
would be courting disaster,” Mr.
Truman said in a speech prepared
for the National Conference On
Citizenship meeting, .
The President denounced “pen
ny-pinching” on foreign aid, and
accused some of his opponents of
“playing politics” at a time of
“yery real” danger of war with
k"Russia. i -
/He also called on the people so
counter “special interest” lobbies
by urging their congressmen tfo
support higher taxes, and stronger
price, rent and wage controls.
Declaring that unless existing
controls, due to expire June 30,
are extended and strengthened
“the cost of living will go through
the roof,” Mr. Truman said:
Truman Statement
“The special interests and the
lobbies will wreck this stabiliza
tion program, as sure as you're
born, unless the main body of the
citizens of this country get busy
and do something about it.”
Mr. Truman did not mention
Senator Taft by name but he left
no doubt he had the Ohioan in
mind when he told the conference:
“A suggestion was made by one
senator the other day that we
ought to cut down the goal of our
armed forces by half a million
men. At a time like this, such a
cut would be very foolish.
“Slashing the size of our armed
forces would not be an economy,
it would be an invitation to war.”
Taft told a U. S. Chamber of
Commerce meeting here April 30
that the administration’s goal of a
3,500,000 - member armed forée
should be cut by 500,000 since he
said it would be too big for the
economy to support indefinitely.
Mr. Truman today referred only
obliquely to the controversy over
Gen. Douglas MacArthur’s dismis
sal, and subsequent Senate com
mittee hearings on Far Eastern
policy.
“There is & lot of discussion
nowadays about military strategy,”
the President said. “Military strat
egy is important and everybody
ought to be concerned apout it.
Other Problems
“But there are a lot of other
problems that are equally impor
tant. We have the hard problems
of defense production, taxes and
stabilization, for example. Unless
we face those problems, we won’t
be able to have any military strat=-

More Beef Seen
By Brannan For
Next Two Years
WASHINGTON, May 17—(AP)
—Secretary of Agriculture Bran
nan said today the government’s
recent price ceiling rollback on
cattle may put more beef on din
ner tables over the next year or
two, but less three to five years
hence.
This forecast was given in a
statement the secretary prepared
Ifor the House Agriculture Com
imittee. The committee had asked
for” information from the depart
‘ment In connectlon with its study
of the rollback order.
Brannan’s prediction that the
price order might have a dis
couraging effect on the long-range
production picture for cattle was
a slight modification from testi
mony he gave before the Senate
Banking Committee yesterday. He
said then that the rollback would
not “jeopardize production.”
, Prediction Qualified
In today’s statement, Branan
qualified his prediction with the
words that “it is too early to be
sure of the answer, and we shall
have to watch developments in
cattle marketing and production
‘closely during the months ahead.”
The .S‘é"s.?‘ghwmu
plowed on v&g;fln con=
trols field ile keeping one eye
cocked at storm clouds gathering
‘over Capitol Hill.
With the present defense act due
to expire June 30, and several
congressmen declaring they'll balk
at the broader control powers ask
ed by President Truman, defense
agencies: .
1. Planned further cuts in pro
duction of 57 civilian goods, in
cluding passenger cars, starting
July 1.
2. Ruled that retail prices of au
tomobiles must be reduced May
22 to allow for the absence of
spare tires and tubes as standard
equipment.
3. Directed manufacturers of
cotton yarns and textiles to com
pute new celling prices effective
May 28.
4. Ordered a nationwide inqui
ry into reports of illegal livestock
slaughtering.
5. Laid down a formula for fig
uring ceiling prices for soybeans
at the farm level.
Meanwhile
In the meantime, talk grew in
Congress in favor of a mere exten~
sion of the present defense act—
under which controls are autoriz
ed—instead of the broader powers
Mr. Truman requested.
Hearing on these reg:msts are
being held by both the Senate and
House banking committees but
many legislators fear that they
might not be able to finish the
job before the June 30 deadline.
Chairman Maybank, (D-SC) of
the Senate commaittee sald yester
day the administration had better
start thinking of a temporary ex
tension or run the chance of not
having any contrals.
The National Produection Au
thority yesterday telegraphed
more than 600 company officlals to
meet here on Friday to discuss
proposed cuts in usage of steel,
copper and aluminum for July,
August and September.
A total reduction of 30 per eent
or more from the 1980 base period
usage of steel was expected, as
against the present 20 per eent
limitation.

Main Enemy Action Centered
On Hot East-Central Front
BY OLEN CLEMENTS
TOKYO, May 17.—(AP)—Waves of attacking Chinese
Reds failed today to break through the main United Na-*
tions defense line.
The Chinese smashed a hole in South Korean ranks and
streamed through, but Allied troops rushed up and plug
ged the gap by nightfall.
Waves of Chinese stormed U. S. positions. But every time
the Americans were pushed off a hill they counterattacked
to recapture the high ground. 4 ;
The actions were along the east
central front, hottest sector of the
75 mile wide battleground.
Field dispatches said 96,000 Chi
nese were attacking in the 25 mile
length of the east central sector in
the opening stages of an all-out
Communist offensive,
Another 25,000 Reds were re
ported gathering strength on the
Pukhan Valley invagion route of
the west central sector. Slithering
Chinese had crept close to Ameri
can lines at the junction of the
Han and Pukhan rivers despite
ceaseless aerial and artillery pun
ishment.
Far to the west erupting attacks
and mounting pressure threatened
a major advance toward Seoul
might be tried later.
Many Red Reserves
All along the line Red reserves
were packed deep behind the bugle
blowing assault units.
Front line officers said Red
strategy appeared to be to hit the
‘center of the line regardless of
losses. |
} Communists attacked relentless
ly. U. N. planes, artillery and
mine fields took a heavy toll. |
“We are killing them by the
thousands,” & U. N. air officer
said. |
Artillery batteries fired at a
record pace. “We are not firing
except at groups of 100 or more,”
an artilleryman said.
The U. S. Eighth Army estimat
ed Communist casualties Wednes
day at 3,582. The Fifth Air Force
said it added 850 Thursday in 617
combat strikes before 6 p. m.
Heaviest fighting was on a 25-
mile sector of the east-central
front from Chunchon to Inje.
The Chinese breakthrough was
south of Inje, north of the 38th
parallel, Two South Korean di
visions were reported retreating
before the Red onslaught. Ele
ments of twoe Chinese regiments
had slipped through the gap in the
Republican ranks.
Heavy Censorship
Every field dispatch referring to
the breakthrough was heavily cen
sored. AP Correspondent William
C. Barnard on the east-central
front reported the break exposed
the flanks of other Republican
units. He said these troops were
gravely threatened.
South Koreans to the west gave
ground under heavy pressure, ‘
Still farther southwest, in the
neighborhood of Chunchon, Amer
icans generally held their posi
tions. In one instance U. S. troosz
counter-attacked, 1
American lines were dented In
spots, : &
The Communist version of the
battle was broadcast by Pyong
yang radio in North Korea. It
sald Reds “are successfully pun
ishing savage American and Bri
tish aggressors all along the front.”
The attack began on the east
coast Wednesday and exploded
westward. AP Correspondent Nate
Polowetzky compared it to a string
of firecrackers exploding as the
flame crept along the cord—for 65
miles.
From east to west front line dis
patches gave this picture Thurs
day night:
ROKs Fall Back
South Koreans on the east coast
fell back before the attack of Com
munists streaming off mountain
ridges.
Bix hundred Communists pene
trated South Korean lines north of
Hangye. Allied troops rushed up
to plug the hole.

Effects Taming
Of Phenix City
PHENIX CITY, Aa, May 17 —
(AP)—Publicity and Gov. Gordon
Persons apparently have tamed
wicked Phenix City, temporarily
at least.
Dice tables are covered in this
robust Chattahoochee river town.
Slot machines have disappeared.
And if any bug tickets—llottery
slips—are written, they are passed
under the counter. %
Illegal mixed drinks still can be
obtained, and night club comedians
belabor small crowds of bored cus
tomers with time-honored jokes.
But gambling, the heart beat of a
wide open town, is missing.
The sudden shutdown came de
spite roaring defiance to a cleanup
campaign from liberal elements
who said strict legality would cost
$300,000 in new taxes.
Foes of gambling shouted back
that the issue of a “racket-ridden
or tax ridden” city was a smoke
screen. E
The Phenix City grapevine cre
dits Governor Persons, to whom
two cleanup groups had appealed,
with clamping the lid on gamb
ling. ;
So does Hugh Bentley, head of &
100 - member committee, which
sparked the cleanup drive. “Of
course the governor did it,” Bent
ley said. “He promised us a 25 per
cent improvement in a year, and
we have much more than that
now.”
No Comment
In Montgomery, the governeor
who publicly sent one investigator
to Phenix City and probably dis
patched others without fanfare,
was not available for comment.
Phenix City, with a population
of 23,000, lies in the geagraphic
and economic shadow of Colum
bus, Ga., a textile manufacturing
center less than a block away
across two Chattahoochee river
bridges.
For many years, this has been a
wide open mecca for fun-seekers,
particularly the hundreds of thous
ands of soldiers who have passed
through Fort Benning, Ga.
During the cleanup debate, city
commissioner Roy Greene raised
the tax issue by saying that “in
order to keep our city on a status
quo basis and have a cleanup, we
must raise over:$300,000 which is
presently obtained from night
clubs, dance halls, whisky and
things like that.”
Part of the money comes from
Recorder’s Court fines and bond
forfeits and the city had a still tax
on clubs as well as a city tax on
