LXXV., NO. 11,562 “ALL THE NEWS ALL THE TIME” JUNEAU, ALASKA, MONDAY, JULY 24, 1950 u KA MEMEER ASSOCIATED PRESS PRICE TEN CENTS ———g Americans Batter Two Red Tank Assaults TAXES MAY GO LOOMING UP IMMEDIATELY |, Price, Manpower Controls q . ’ Not Discussed. - But Maybe Brought Up WASHINGTON, July 24 — (@ — | President Truman discussed with Congressional leaders today the ad- visability of an immediate, emer- gency tax increase on both indi- vidual incomes and business firms. House Speaker Rayburn (D-Tex) told reporters after the White House conference that the matter was “still in the conversation stage.” But in any case a long-range tax bill, possibly including an excess profits tax, is likely to be taken up later in the year or early next year, Rayburn said. Rayburn said the idea of an im- mediate, emergency tax rise would be discussed by Secretary of the Treasury Snyder and the chairman of the appropriate Senate and House committees in the near fu-| ture. He said such “interim” legislation, as he called it, would be intended | to take up “some of the immediate slack” in government financing arising from the proposed huge in- crease in military spending. Rayburn mentioned no figure ir talking of the possible emergency bill. At the capitol, hearings began on the administration’s general home front economic program. To the Senate Banking Commit- tee, W. Stuart Symington describec this program as aimed to “take the profiteering out of war.” Symington is chairmar of the National Security Resources Boarc which has the job of planning for production, home front controls anc civil defense in event of war. The administration's five -poin. controls bill does not involve retai. | price controls at the civilian level or controls over manpower. But Symington told Senators these things are under consideration and may be asked later if needed. He noted that “prices of 28 basic commodities have risen 10 percen: since the invasion of South Ko- ea,” and added: “The controls provided in this bil. | are essential to reduce these infla- tionary pressures.” Symington said President Trumar hopes to avoid setting up a series of new special agencies to carry on the war effort. That was done in both World Wars I and II. This time, he said, existing gov- ernment agencies and department: will be expected to carry the load. " The Washington Merry - Go-Round Bv DREW PEARSON ICopyright, 18:0. Dy Bell Syndicate, Ine.) ‘ASHINGTON—The other night on the radio, as I listened to Pres- ident Truman telling the nation about the Korean war, I couldn't help comparing his broadcast to FDR's during the war. One gave you the impression of the master at the helm; the other of a sincere, somewhat inadequate little guy who was trying to do his best. I have also been reading the “letters from readers” in the Wash- ington newspapers of late, noted the very large amount of misunderstanding, criticism, and opposition to war in Korea. Perhaps the President read these letters too. Perhaps they helped induce him—three weeks late—to tell the American pegple about the fundamental issues of the war. In contrast, I recall that President Roosevelt went on the air imme- . diately after Pearl Harbor and im- | mediately after other grave crises— because he knew that it was so all- important to keep the American people informed and to have their support. Obviously, Truman must feel the same way; but he both forgets about it and lacks the polished touch and sure-fire know-how of his predecessor. So I couldn't help thinking, as I listened to Truman’s sincere, high-pitched, and somewhat be- lated explanation to the American people, that what more Americans ’ (conanned on Page Four) and | 'SEARCH FOR NATIVE, SERVICE GUARD GOES!D ICK SURATT ForwARD IN siTkA FOUND DEAD for James Willlam Fleming, 40, whose small cruiser-troller was/ | found near Middle Island on the| | outer reaches of Sitka’s harbor Fri- | day noon—and two and a half days | WRANGELL, Alas culy 24— —Richard J.

At the controls of the swift “Blue Bantam,” Jerry won the finals of the coasting classic by one and one- half lengths over Jack Rhode, 14 class A champion, His victory marked the first time in the history of soap box racing here that a class B driver has steered to a win over a class A champ. The cars got away together, hit- ting the bottom of "the starting ramp in unison; but, as the crowc estimated at 3,000 watched, the “Blue Bantam” edged ahead of Rhode’s “Rhode-master” and rolled past the judges’ stand with one- half a racer-length showing betweer the two cars. The championship was the lasi race on the day's program. Racers Parade ‘The day’s 27 races were preceded by a parade. One of Juneau’s fire trucks led and each of the entries in the day's coasting contests fol- lowed the truck. With the driver in the seat of each of the colorful racers, the cars were towed to the starting ramp by friends as the crowd cheered and the young driv- ers waved. Rain had been falling until the parade began, but it stopped as the parade filed to the starting ramp where starter George Sund- borg stood with the green flag. The course was wet but fast, and the rain held off while the races were run. The program was over in twc hours, and there were no wearying delays between heats. A pickup truck supplied by Connors Motor Company carried each winner promptly back to the starting ramj for his next heat. No Accidents The afternoon’s card of races was run off without an accident, whicl indicated the care with which steer- ing and braking systems of the gravity-powered speeders were con- structed, race officials said. Rhode, son of Mr. and Mrs. Clar- ence Rhode, had prepared carefully for each race; but, after losing by a slim margin to Taylor, took his loss like a good sport. He had come up to the finals the hard way, winning four heats tc take the Class “A” championship which made him eligible for the big race of the day. He took a preliminary heat from John C. Stickler by six lengths; his first regular heat was won over Don Abel Jr., by five lengths; in his second heat he headed Jerry Mc- Nevin by one-half length; and in the finals for the class A cham- pionship he managed to win over Leroy West, a favorite by a short two feet. Donald Dull was third in the 14 and 15-year-old class. It was his second year of racing. Bruce Brown of Sitka took sec- ond place in the class B division and Jimmie Butcher of Sitka took third place in the 12 and 13-year- old division. Foss Wins in Class C Class C races headed the after- noon’s program. All drivers were under 12 years of age and drove in the local race for practice against the day when they'll be old enough to enter national competition.

REDS HOLD TWO THIRDS SOUTH KCREA Mounting Communist Pressure Along 150-Mile Font Line Is Reported (By the Associated Press) North Korean Communists have conquered about two-thirds of South Korea, and Amecrican and South Korean forces fought today to retain the remaining third for a buildup of power which can spark a counter-offensive. The Communists put on mounting pressure all along the front line. They sent stabbing tank-led assaults into American lines along the 150- mile front extending from the Tae- jon area eastward, while in the southwest they threatened U.S. po- sitions with a broad flanking move- ment. The North Korean radio said the Reds captured the southwest port of Mokpo and the town of Namwon, which is 30 miles southeast of Chongju. This would swing in closer the wide flanking arc. Gen. MacArthur’s headquarters said these forces in the southwest were roving bands opposed only by South Korea police. But the move- ment presented a dangerous threau, and he said measures were being taken to eliminate it. A description of the front lines by MacArthur headquarters indi- cated the Americans and South Ko- reans were giving up more ground. It presented a picture of a wide Communist arc extending from be- low Yongdok on the east coast around Yechon and Hamchang down through the area near Yong- dong and east of Taejon and thence down almost to the southwest coast. MacArthur’s bulletin had placed the Red bands at the outskirts of Mokpo and Namwon in the southwest. ‘This line showed about two-thirds of South Korea under. Communist | control. United Nations forces hole> a third which is shaped like a gen- | erous slice of pie, with the key supply port of Pusan as its point. MacArthur's bulletin said the Communist attacks in the central sectors were being repulsed. In the latest assa"lt on the cen- tral front, the Communists sent in eight tanks with infantrymen | against First Cavalry Division po- sitions near Yongdong. New ground rocket bazookas knocked out three of the tanks and U.S. tank-killer teams were hunting the other five in darkness. At U.S. Eighth Army headquart- ers in Korea, a South Korean officer said the Northern Reds were dras- tically draining their available man- power for the war and that while their morale was going down, that of the South Koreans was rising. But the Red attacks continued de- spite the high cost in blood. | 2600 on Strike, | Todd Shipyards, On Eastern Coast (By Associated Press) Eleven hundred men struck at the big Todd shipyard in Hoboken to- day. And in Brooklyn, 1,500 men stayed away from work at the Todd yards, waiting to take a strike vote later in the day. Hoboken pickets took up their march at midnight, despite a plea from Federal Mediator Howard T. Colvin in Washington. Colvin sent word that shipbuilding and ship| repair are vital because of the Ko- rea situation. ‘The union replied that while it “always put our country first,” it had been negotiating with the com- pany long enough.

S. Main Supply Port (By the Assocliated Press) Troops of the two fresh U.S. divi- slons in South Korea halted twin Communist tank-led assaults against two American positions in the central sector today, but in the southwest sector the Reds wheeled into position for a drive behind US. lines, possibly aimed at shearing off the southern end of the peninsula. The Reds attacked east of Taejon Sunday along a mountain road lead- ing to Yongdong. Their tanks be gan the attack without infantis support, and between 10 and 20 were knocked out. The Reds then kicked off again with tanks and infantry. The U.S, First Cavalr; (Infantry) Divison blunted the drive and then hurled a savage counterattack. A 75-minute battle at close quarters followed, with the Americans get- ting support from fighter planes and artillery. The Communists broke and yielded more ground than their attack had gained in the be- ginning. Just to the north, eight North Ko- rean tanks spearheaded an attack by 700 Red troops against positions held by the U.S. 25th Division. Ba- zooka-men and planes knocked out five of the tanks and halted two others. Ports Knocked Out took Kwangju, almost at the tip of the peninsula, and nulliffed for American use the ports of Yosu and Mokopo, to the south. This placed the Reds in position to launch a drive eastward in the direction of Pusan, main American supply port 120 air miles distant. The Com- munists had moved down in the southwest sector against compara- tively little resistance, and the ad- vance could develop into a dan- gerous flanking movement against the Pusan-Taejon rail line. General MacArthur reported in a communique that the enemy was building up “considerable strength” on the southwestern, western and central fronts, North Korean pres- sure was increasing on the central front in the Hamchang sector along the corridor leading to the US. beachhead at Pohang on the east coast. Twenty-five miles to the north of this beachhead area, naval guns again blasted the ruins of Yongdok, which was retaken by the Reds Saturday after having fallen to South Korean and U.S. forces only the day before. The Reds lost “up to 6,000 men" at Yongdok, a South Korean spokesman said. 18,000 Reds Lost A U. 8. Defense Department spokesman in Washington estimated the North Korean have lost up to 18,000 in casualties thus far. With clearing weather the U.S. air arm roared into battle and into damaging strategic attacks behind the lines. The Fifth Air Force moved its advance base from Southern Japan to Korea, where two fields already are in operation. B-20 Superforts from Japan siruck at Communist transport lines. ‘They dropped 80 tons of bombs on bridges and roads leading to the Taejon front. Fighters and light bombers flew 248 individual flights against Red positions. U.S. planes are also dropping propaganda leaf- lets behind the lines. Dean Reported Safe A front dispatch reported Maj. Gen. William F. Dean, 50, the red- haired fighting commander of the Infantry Division, escaped from burning Taejon Thursday night after leading : his men in a bitter street battle. The General apparently stayed behind in the mountains, in what is_ now enemy territory, to round up Ameri- can stragglers. Hopes were expressed that he would safely make his way back to American lines. High tide 11:09 a.m., 122 ft. Low tide 16:30 p.m., 5. ft.
