US Plan To Pursue Red Planes Was
Vetoed By Allies, Secretary Avers
WASHINGTON, June 5.— (AP) —Secretary of Stat:
Acheson today told senators how other United Nations
vetoed an American plan last November for “hot pursuit”
of enemy planes across the Korean border into Manchuria.
He said the United States proposed only two or three
minutes of air penetration of Manchuria but the other
allied governments would not go along with the plan.
Red Convict
WASHINGTON, June S—(AP).
Widespread prosecutions of indi
vidual members of the U. S. Com-~
munist party for plotting violent
overthrow of this government ap
peared certain today.
The Supreme Court cpened the
doorg for an extensive program of
such actions when it upheld yes
terday the convictions of 11 top
officials of the party charged with
& conspiracy of force against con
stituted U. S. authority.
In an historic 6-2 decision de
livered by Chief Justice Vinson,
the court held .constitutional the
1940 Smith act outlawing plots of
violence, and said the activities
of the Communist leaders involved
“a clear and present danger”’ to
the United States.
The group, the court said, “in
tended to overthrow the govern
ment of the United States as speed
ily as the circumstances would
permit.”
Terms Affirmed
Jail terms up to five years and
fines of SIO,OOO assessed against
the 11 in the New York federal
district court in October, 1949,
after a long and stormy trial, were
affirmed,
This was the sort of cecigsion on
Communist designs which the Jus
tice Department has becu working
for years to get from theshigh
est tribunal. The court had never
previously ruled direcily on the
issue. §
Raymond P. Whearty, one of At
torney General McGrath's top as
sistants in the ecriminal division,
told the House Appropriations
Committee last year the depart
ment was marking time on a “pro=
gram of extensive suifts to pros
ecute members of the Communist
])i”’ty.”
It was thought that prosecutions
might be confined to less than 100
cases—Communists of st least lo
cal leadership stature—although
Whearty said the Justice Depart
ment has 12,000 possible’ cases on
file.
Attorney General MeGrath de
clined to say at once when and
how he will proceed. He asserted:
“This is a good day for loyal
citizens, and a bad day for the
conspirators.”
Rehearing To Be Asked
In New York, Eugene Dennis,
secretary general of the Commu
nist party of the United States,
said the party leaders will ask the
Supreme Court for a re-hearing.
Like the others, Denins is free
in bail.
McGrath has asserted that the
current case, brought against in
dividuals, cannot be construed as
outlawing the Communist party.
Accerding to the FBI, the party
currently has about 42,000 dues
paylhg members in the United
States!
The group whose convictions
were affirmed in the Supreme
Court consisted, besides Dennis,
of Benjamin J. Davis, jr., Gilbert
Green, Robert G. Thompzon, John
Gates, John B. Williamson, Carl
Winter, Gus Hall, Jacob Stachel,
Henry Winston and Irving Potash.
All got five year sentences except
'_l‘hompson, given only three years
in recognition of Army service
during erld War 11.

Associated Press Service
Acheson read a telegram. sent
under his signature on last Nov.
13 to American embassies in other
United Nations countries. This
simply advised that it “may be
come necessary” to put in the “hot
pursuit” plan. :
The approval of the other gov
ernments was not asked. There has
been previous testimony from U.
S. military leaders, however, that
‘.such strong objections were raised
i by other nations with troops in
Korea that the plan was never put
into effect.
Acheson’s telegram said the
“privileged sanctuary” of Man
churia—a term MacArthur often
used—presented a ‘“grave prob
lem” to U. N. forceres since “enemy
*aircraft (nationality not always
known) operate frorm Manchurian
fields, dash into Korea air space to
strike U. N. air and ground forces
and then fly to .safety behind
Manchurian border a very few
minutes away.”
Acheson Telegram
. 'The telegram continued:
| “U.S. government is determined
I to.do evervthing possible to local
ize conflict in Korea. This is il
lustrated by rigorous instructions
to commanders as well as by ef
forts made to adijust accidental in

offering compensation for dama

ever. that the abuse of Manchuria
by the enemy could easily impose
an intolerable burden upon U. N.
{ forces operating lawfully and pro
perlv on U. N. missions in Korea.
| “Therefore U. S. government

BY ARTHUR GAVSHON
LONDON, June 5 —(AP)—The
British cabinet met today to pick
a semi-official British mission
which will fly to Tehran soon for
talks on Iran’s plan to nationalize
her giant British-controlled oil in
dustry.
Iran has indicated she will be
ready to receive such a mission if
it represents the anglo-Iranian Oil
Company (AIOC) and not the
British-government. -
The British government, how
ever, owns more than half the
AIOC stock and has two nominees
on the company’s directorate.
Informed officials reported the
cabinet therefore is likely to name
at least one of its two representa
tives as a member of the AIOC
mission. In that case either Vis
count Alanbrooke or Sir Thomas
Gardiner likely will fly to Tehran
in the next few days. Also stand
ing by for the trip is a team of ex
pert oil advisers who will join the
talks with liranian leaders on the
“post-nationalization” running of
the oil industry.
While the mission formally will
represent AIOC and not the gov
ernment, British publicity has re
affirmed its stake in the dispute
in the course of direct exchanges
with Iranian Premier Mohammd
Mossadegh last week.
Ambassador Sir Francis Shep
herd has ben ordered to repeat
this view in Tehran and to urge
Mossadegh to accept a British
governmental mission which could
negotiate a new oil past on the
basis of “some form of nationali
zation.” A
Iran’s reply to these requests is
expected soon.
AIOC is due to announce the
composition of its mission later
today—after the cabinet has okay
ed its members.

JUN Forces Roll Within Range Of
Key Red Korean “'lron Triangle™
Red Resisfance Diminishes As
Allies Contirue Forward Push
BY WILLIAM C. BARNHARD
TOKYO, June 65— (AP) —Allied troops rolled today
within artillery. range of Chorwon, key to the Red “iron
triangle” in Korea.
But 6,000 battling Chinese blocked the advance of other
United Nations troops trying to reach the triangle from
the east.
Most of the U. N. west and central front surged closer
to the Communist assembly area bounded by Chorwon,
Kumhwa and Pyongyang. b e
By The Associated Press
Powderpuff clouds held the
South’s only rain hopes today
amid a mounting, crop withering
drought now bordering on its sev
enth week.
There still were no forecasts of
the general, heavy rains needed to
'restore the water starved pastures
and plants; only scattered thun
dershowers,
In the generally sere picture
there were green spots in Arkan
sas, western Tennessee and south
west Virginia where local rains
had broken the long dryness.
Mississippi ended its 44th
straight day without rain yester
day when scattered showers sprin
kled the dust at Columbus, Clarks
dale, Meridian and Hattiesburg.
Rain Not Much
The U. S. Weather Bureau com
mented, however, that the rains
“didn’t amount to much.”
A critical situation was develop
ing in central South Carolina
where for 43 days pastures, truck
crops, melons, wheaf and oats
have gone unwatered.
In middle Tennessee tobacco
specialist Roy Mi?ton of the Uni
versity of Tennessee’s extension
service said that unless there were
heavy rains within the next two
weeks, disaster faced the $60,000,-
000 tobacco crop. |
In South Georgia’s bright leaf
tobacco belt the' Georgia Coastal
Plain Exveriment Station reported
that scald, dry weather damage,
was widespread.
An alarmed South Louisiana
sugar grower, Charles Farwell of
Napoleonville, planned to have an |
airplane seed clouds from New’
Orleans to Baton Rouge with dry
ice in a rainmaking effort. No |
rain has fallen on his cane fields |
for 23 days.
Drought Acute
North Carolina’s Ray Converse,
acting head of the Federal-State
Crop Reporting Service, said the
drought had become acute for Tar
heel farmers and would be critical
in a few days.
South Alabama’s soil tillers,
counting the days since the last
rain April 22, watched their crops
beginning to droop.
While no general rains were in
sight, a cool front moving into
the region from the great north
west plains promised relief from
the stifling heat.
At the University of Georgia’s
graduation exercises in Athens
yesterday 12 persons fainted and
more than 200 were forced to seek
shade. A physician at Sanford
Stadium said his thermometer
registered 110 degrees though the
official temperafure was only 89.

The threatening Allied advance
was made against diminishing Red
resistance along the rain-swept
Yonchon-Chorwon highway in the
west. U. N, infantrymen slogged
nearly two miles through the mud,
narrowing the 13-mile gap be
tween Allied-held Yonchon and
the prize Communist city.
Front line r(i}spatches reported
Allies on this route now are in
position to turn their long range
artillery on Chorwon.
Thirty-five miles to the east, the
front boiled with action. Three
’ thousand Reds fought through the
day, holding the Allied forces at
'a standstill in their drive north=~
west of Hwachon toward Kumhwa.
Another 3,000 Chinese held Allies
to a 500-yard gain north of
Hwachon.
Chinese Bitter
Eastof Hwachon reservoir stub
born Chinese fought bitterly to‘
stem Allied advances north of
Yanggu and northeast of Inje.
Every Allied advance, even
where Red pressure decreased,
was made in tough, muddy fight
ing over rugged hills,
Communists had hurled nine
counterattacks at the Allied ad
vance Monday. Infantrymen
fought them off and generally
pushed about a mile ahead. Tues=
day’s advances averaged about the
same.
Allied tanks led the advance on
main highways. But on mired sec
ondary roads they tended to bog
down.
The Fifth Air Force sent 432
planes out to strike through clou
and rain at the Communists dur~
ing daylight Tuesday.
Two fighters crashed and burn
ed. Their pilots were killed. One
was an F-80 shooting star jet; the
other an F-51 Mustang.
Another Mustang was shot down
Monday. But the pilot landed be
hind U. N. lines. Monday’s strikes
by 850 land and sea-based planes
concentrated on Communist trans
port.
Two Communist planes, possi=-
bly jets, bombed Allied lines near
Yanggu on the east eentral front
Monday night. If they were Red
jets, it was their deepest penetra
tion of Korea.
Red Radio Appeals
China’s Red radio for the third
straight day appealed to workers
for funds to buy planes, armor and
other heavy fighting equipment
sorely needed by Chinese in Ko
rea,
Chinese defending the “iron
triangle” were supported by mod
erate amounts of artillery, But
generally they depended on
grenades, small arms and mortars
—and their stubbornness.
Their determination was indi
cated by the fact only 300 prison
ers were captured Monday, AP
Correspondent Nate Polowetzky
reported from U, S. Eighth Army
headquarters. In contrast, thou
sands had surrendered at the start
of the U, N. counteroffensive.
“The enemy is fighting a defen
sive campaign along the main
routes to Chorwon and Kumhwa,”
an Eighth Army briefing officer
said, “while they are fighting de
laying actions in the east around
Inje.”
U. N, troops advancing northe
west of Yonchon, 13 miles from
Chorwon, were locked in a fight
that continued through the night
into Tuesday.
Twelve miles to the east, near
Chail, Allied tanks were turned
back Monday by heavy Red ar=
tillery fire. Chajl is the gateway
to two valleys leading to Chorwon
and Kumhwa. It's ten miles from

BOSTON, June s—(AP)—Serge
A. Koussevitzky, who rose from
humble Russian beginnings to
world fame as conductor of the
Boston Symphony Orchestra, died
last night at the age of 77.
He had been in ppor health
since the he was stricken with a
virus infection in Phoenix, Ariz.,
last winter, forcing him to cancel
a planned tour through Europe as
guest conductor.
But until he had to be removed
to the New England Medical Cens
ter recently he was collaborating
with Boris Goldovsky, a Boston
composer and conductor, on an
opera, “Pique Dame.”
Death Follows Fall
Koussevitzky was admitted to
the hospital last Wednesday night,
Brookshire home and cut his fore
two days after he fell in his
head. Death was reported due to
a cerebral hemorrhage.
The daring and colorful Kousse
vitzky laid down his brilliant ba
ton as the Boston Symphony’s
conductor at the close of the 1948-
1948 season after serving in that
capacity for 25 years—the longest
any leader served in the orches
tra’s history.
During that span critics heaped
upon him sucn praise as: “The
greatest conductor in our time, . ~
Matchless Virtuoso. . . Incompara
ble master of string tone.”
Earzy lln his Boston career,
Koussevitzky had said he lived
only for music and the older Bos-~

their lymé)hony seats like heire
looms and then passing them on
to succeeding generation.

' WASHINGTON, June S—(AP)
—The Office of Price Stabilization
(OPS) plans to put into effect in
another 30 days a community-by
community pricing program for
some- 15 to 20 grocery items.
Announcing this yesterday,‘
Price Director Michael V. DiSalle
did not say what the items will
be, except to tell newsmen they
will be processed foods. He said
no rationing is contemplated.
Merchants will be required to
post the ceiling prices, as they did
under the wartime OPA. The
prices will be fixed by communi
ties to allow for varying local con
ditions.
DiSalle disclosed the program to
reporters after he had explained it
to the united labor policy commit
tee, representing the CIO, AFL,
and Railroad Unions. The labor
chiefs have been protesting that
DiSalle’s controls were not work
ing. b
DiSalle View
DiSalle said he cautioned the
labor leaders that wage increases
in some cases would definitely
push prices upward. He said he
had not suggested to the unions
that they forego all wage in
creases.
Later, AFL President William
Green said Disalle had not quite
convinced the ULPC the controls
program was working — but he
said the rotund former Toledo
mayor was “making the best of a
tough situation.”
Green had a date today to give
the House Banking Committee the
AFL’s views on proposed exten
sion beyond June 30 to the de
fense production, which authorizes
wage-price controls. Both House
and Senate Banking committee are
holding hearings currently on
President Truman'’s request for a
two-year extension, with some re?
visions.
Meanwhile, Mobilization Direce
tor Charles E. Wilson was reported
considering an early merger of the
two big arms production agencies,
N ational Production Authority
(NPA) and Defense Production
|Administra‘ti'o.r: (PPA)._
{ NPA Control
| NPA, in the commerce depart
ment, is closest to the average cit
izen. It doles out scarce materials,
runs the priority system, and re
stricts civilian goods. UPA, inde
pendent and a notch higher In the
alphabetical hierarchy, makes pol
ictg on production,
iSalle’s price-posting program
will begin }’une 18, when beef
pricing charts are to be put in
butcher shops under an order al
ready announced. DiSalle indica
l ted veal might be next on the meat
list, Pork is selling under parity—
below the level at which prices
may be frozen. o
The 18-man wage stabilization
‘board scheduled a second day of
‘ talks on a proposed four-cent
hourly bonus to 1,000,000 auto
- workers for improving production
in the past year.
Then, too, the board is consider
ing a major change in its present
formula limiting wage increases
generallfy to 10 per cent above
levels of aJnuary, 1950. Labor un
ions are out to boost this percent
age to 15 if possible.
