Piilip Jessup
| B L
By FRANK O’BRIEN
WASHINGTON, Oct. 23—(AP)
p esident Truman has given FPhilip
(. Jessup a recess appointment as
Jclesate to the United Nations,
labeling charges Jessup has fav
ored Communist causes “patent
falceness” that “bordered on
fraud.” .
‘The objections to Mr. Jessup's
gopointment made during the
Yearings of the Senate (foreign
relations) subcommittee seem to
me to be erroneous, and in some
cnces, simply the result of partisan
politics,” M. Truman said in a
«atement. He called Jessup “‘out
stondingly well qualified.”
The President made the state
ment last evening as he announced
the appointment. The Senate con
firmed the nine other U. N. nom
in-tions made by Mr. Truman, but
gid not act on Jessup before ad
journment. The U. N. opens its
«oneral assembly in Paris Nov.,
¢ Congress is recessed until Jan.
Double Attack
In a lengthy probe by a subcom
) e, Senator MeCarthy (R.-
wic,) and Harold E. Stassen,
former Republican governor of
iinnesota and now president of
the University of Pennsylvania,
acked Jessup as a friend of
Communist causes.
The subcommittee voted 3 to 2
soainst confirming Jessup. He is
.1 ambassador-at-large and a top
470 to Secretary of State Acheson.
McCarthy, longtime critic of the
State Department and of Jessup,
old the subcommittee Jessup had
in the past followed “every {wist
and turn of the Communist line.”
Jessup replied under oath that
he had never knowingly aided
Communism or any Communist
couse, and had long been an enemy
of Communism.
In several appearances before
the subcomittee, Stassen charged
that Jessup had given “false testi
mony” in denying that he never
“considered” U. 8. recognition of
Red China. He also said he had
been told by the late Senator-Ar
thur H. Vandenberg that Jessup
sttended a White House conference
and was among supporiers there
of a recommendation to shut off U.
S. Aide to Nationalist—anti-Com
munist—China.
Jessup denied Stassen’s slate
ments, said he was skipping like a
crasshopper from one accusation
to another to escape from a “mo
rass of mis-statements.”
Inaccuracy
The State Department accused
Stassen of inaecuracy in his testi
mony about a roundtable confer
ence of two years ago on Far East
ern policy. Jessup presided and
Stassen took part. Stassen said
Jessup told him a group which
favored recognizing Red China
had the greater logic on its side.
Jessup denied it, and the State De
partment said the minutes proved
Stassen wrong. Stassen said they
proved he was right.
U. 8. United Nations headquar
ters in' New York produced re
cords that placed Jessup in New
York the day Stassen said Van
denberg told him Jessup took part
in the White House conference and
backed a proposal to withdraw aid
from Chiang Kai-shek. That was
on Feb. 5, 1949. Gen. Dwight D.
Fisenhower, then active president
of Columbia University, in New
York, messaged the subcommittee
that Jessup, a Columbia Universi
tv professor, conferred at the Uni
versity with him at the hour of, the
White House meeting.
Stassen came back to the com
mittee, and said that even if Jes
sup had not been present at the
actual meeting, he “must have fig
ured in discussions and plans lead
i‘]‘.L’ up to the views advanced”
there,
Jessup told the senators he not
ly was not present but had no
mnection with the meeting or
ny China policy discussed at it,
ccause, he said, he was not then
mcerned with Far East policy.
In his statement last evening,
r. Truman referred to the sub
'mmittee hearings, and said:
Truman Statement

larges to the effect (Jessup) was

ere utterly without foundation,

ed for being at a meeting
ch he did not attend and for
cy recommendations which he
er made.”
Despite his record and despite
patent falseness of the charges
le against him,” Mr. Truman
. “It is alleged the American
ble do not have confidence in
bassador Jessup . .. This I tind

on the Gulf Coast.
“I'm not critical of your work

attitude about what happens to
the boys off the base.”
Hunt Report
i Hunt’s report said the volumin
ous testimony taken at yesterday’s
hearing would be turned over to
the seven member preparendenss
committee and the Senate armed
service committee, and that “pro
per corrective measures will be
evoked.”
The report said that gambling
interests had so entrenched them
selves as to “virtually control the
economic life of the area.”
During the hearing the commit
tee investigators heard promises
from Sheriff Laz Quave and Bil
oxi Mayor R. Hart Chinn that
gambling laws would be enforced
during the rest of their terms of
office.
Gambling operations shutown
over the weekend under a ul
timatum from Quave to close or

Quave told the committee last
night he would enforce strictly the

Committee investigators had a

force laws against gambling.
He finally said he would halt

14 Of 150 Red
Jets Downed By
U. N. Warplanes
BY ROBERT EUNSON
~ U. S. EIGHTH ARMY HEAD
‘QUARTERS, Korea, Oct. 23—
(AP)—Communist airmen hurled
150 jets at U. N. warplanes today
‘and lost at least 14 destroyed or
damaged in history’s largest jet
:battle.
- Two American planes were shot
down and at least two damaged.
The U. S. Fifth Air Force esti
mated 246 jets, plus an undis~
closed number of B-29 Superforts,
were involved in today’'s scream
ing engagements.
The previous record in & single
jet battle was 199 on September
26.
The Russian-type MIG-15s
swarmed in waves on B-29 Super
forts bombing a new Red airfield
at Namsi, 45 miles from the Man
churian border.
Allied airmen were credited
with destroying five Red jets,
probably destroying two, and
damaging between seven and ten.
One B-29 was crippled and
plunged into the Yellow Sea., The
crew bailed out. A Fifth Air
Force briefing officer said one
F-84 Thunderjet was shot down.
Two B-29s from Okinawa were
badly damaged, but landed at
Allied bases in Korea.
150 Red Jets
The estimated 150 fast Red jets
fought with 96 Sabre and Thun
derjets and an unannounced num
ber of B-295.
The air battle - overshadowed
action on the quieting ground
fronts.
United Nations tank and infan
try forces began enveloping smol
dering Kumsong, deserted former
Red stronghold on the central
front. The Allies in the eastern
mountains beat off three Red
probing attacks. And in the west,
raiding U. N. patrols got into a
stiff fight with entrenched Chi
nese west of Yonchon.
The big air battle flamed in
northwest Korea as B-29s from
Okinawa rained 100,000 pounds of
high explosives on the Namsi air
field —the second new Red air
drome hit in two days.
Waves of Red jets swept in from
Manchuria in “one of the heaviest
and most determined attacks ever
launched against the Superforts
by the MIGs,” an Air Force an
nouncement said. ¢
The fight broke into three dis
tinct mass battles as escorting
Sabre jets and Thunderfets took
on the Red attackers. The first
broke out at 10 a. m. beiween 32
Sabres and more than 100 &eds
over Namsi. The battle lasted 30
minutes.
Many of the Red planes took
part in all three fights.
One B-29 plunged into the Yel
low Sea off the west coast of
Korea. Escorting planes circled
overhead while rescue vessels
rushed in to pick up the airmen
who parachuted into the water.
The Namsi airdrome is in MIG
alley between the Chongchon and
Yalu rivers. -
It is west of Taechon, where an
other new airfield was hit Mon
day. A Superfort hit in that attack
also crashed into the Yellow Sea.
Nine of her crew landed on an
island, three in the water. All
were rescued.
Other Air Actions
Other air actions Monday, FEAF
said, cost the Reds two jets shot
down and two damaged, while the
Allies lost a Shooting Star and a
Mustang fighter.
Allied pilots had watched the
construction of both the Taechon
and Namsi airdromes. Taechon
was hit two days after it was
completed. The Reds still were
working on the Namsi runway,
approximately 6,500 feet long and
220 feet wide, when the raiders
struck.
The Reds have been trying to
develop air bases in northwestern
Korea to shift at least part of their
air force from Manchuria. In
Washington the U. 8. Air Force
estimated the Reds have more
than 1,200 planes in Manchuria.
Half of these are jets,
U. N. ground forces inflicted
29,275 casualties on the Reds last
week, Eighth Army Headquarters
announced. Of the total, 22,000
were listed as killed, 6,000 woun
ded and 1,275 taken prisoner.
The toll was taken mainly on

Reds Go-Ahead Signal For
Talk Resumption Awaited
BY ROBERT B. TUCKMAN
MUNSAN, Korea, Oct. 23.
— (AP) — Communists re
shuffled their Korean truce
delegation today but still
had not given a go ahead
signal for renewing armis
tice talks.
Red China’s Peiping radio
reported two generals of the
five-man Communist delega
tion have been replaced. A
United Nations spokesman
said the changes may indi
cate the Reds plan to place
greater emphasis on military
considerations and less on
political phases of an armis
tice.
Reorganization of the Commu
nist delegation was announced as
the Reds ignored a U. N. challenge
to ratify quickly new truce talks
rules. That was the only thing
still needed to reopen negotiations
to end the fighting in Korea. The
Red delay ruled out the possibili
ty of a meeting before Wednesday.
Vice Adm. C. Turner Joy, top
Allied negotiator, signed the new
ground rules Monday a few hours
after liaison officers approved
them. He asked North Korean
Lt. Gen. Nam 11, head of the Red
truce team, to act quickly so ne
gotiations could be resumed
promptly after a two-month in
terruption.
While Nam 11 was silent the
Peiping radio announced changes
in the Red delegation, paralleling
replacement last week of two
members of the U. N. truce team.
Red Replacements
The broadcast said Chinese Gen.
Pien Chiang-wu would replace
Chinese Gen. Tung Hwa, and
North Korean Gen, Cheng Du Kon
would succeed North Korean Gen.
Chang Pyong San.

fied Pien as a former military at

Rail Trattic, Road
Area Of Suez Canal
By TOM STONE
~ CAIRO, Egypt, Oct. 23—(AP)—
The British Army sharply cut rail
traffic and banned all road move
ment in the Suez Canal area at
dawn today,
The traffic cuts will remain in
force’ until dock laborers, boy
cotting the unloading of British
supply ships at the military port
of Adabia, about ten miles south
of Suez, go back to work, a Brit
ish military spokesman said.
The British seized the harbor
and railway station at Port Suez
last night.
A limited number of trains will
be run, They will be cperated by
British Army crews. One pass
enger train and one freight train
daily will be permitted to cross
‘the canal to supply Egyptian
troops on the east zide of the
‘canal, the British spokesman an
‘nounced. Food trains for Egyptian
civilians throughout the canal
zone also will operate.
British Denials
The British denied Egyptian re
ports that they used a squadron of
tanks to take the railway shops
and station at Port Suez last night.
Only “six or seven” armored
vechicles were on the move in the
area yesterday, the spokesman
said.
But British troops are stationed
at switches and crossings from
Port Said to Suez, along the full
104-mile length of the canal, he
disclosed.
British soldiers have been
searching every Egyptian entering
the canal area since Oct. 17 and
have been ransacking box cars to
prevent ‘“‘organized gangs” from
infiltering the control zone, the
spokesman revealed.
A Royal Air Force spokesman
in Cairo said small flights of RAF
jet planes are continuing to make
“reconnaissance sorties” over the
canal area to keep an eye on
ground activities. |
Aerial reconnaissance from both
jet planez and light aircraft has
been going on for several days,
he added.
Egypt's fiery nationaligtic prime
minister, Mustapha E! Nahas
Pasha, told cheering audiences
meanwhile that he would bring the
British to & ‘“severe accounting”
for their continued resistance to
the Egyptian ouster moves.
British Reinforcements
More British troops and war
ships, from several Mediterranean
bases and even from Britain, sped
to reinforce the soldiers, sailors
and fliers who have carried out
Britain's refusal to be ousted from
the vital, 104-mfile sea lane which ‘
links the Commonwealth,
In London, the board of trade
halied all shipments to the Egyp
tians of arms and munitions—in=
cluding airplanes, armored ve
hicles, ammunition an 4 munitfons
making machinery.
