What I am for is peace.” The labor leader spoke rapidly and with gestures at the hearing in which the government is seeking to revoke his $25,000 bail on the charge that he is a menace to the country’s internal security in time of war. “I don’t believe I am disloyal,” Bridges said. He was still on the stand when court adjourned for the luncheon recess. Outside of court, special prosecu- tor F. Joseph Donohue, who recently obtained Bridges conviction on a perjury charge, remar/ed to news- men that he did not believe he| would have to cross-examine him very long. Newsmen got the impression Don- ohue believed the things Bridges was saying were corroborating the government’s accusation that he | had been following the Communist party line while free on bail. Removal of ens Security Coun- cil with Veto LAKE SUCCESS, Aug. 4 — (? —| Russia today demanded the imme- | diate withdrawal of United States and all other foreign troops from Korean soil as part of a two-point Soviet “peace” proposal. It asked the Security Council to hear both | the North and South Koreans, and threatened to exercise its veto power | unless the Council hears the North Koreans. | A Soviet resolution was laid be- | fore the 1l-nation Security Coun- cil by Jakob A. Malik as a counter to a United States proposal de- signed to prevent the spread of the fighting to other areas. “The issue,” Malik said, “is | whether the Security Council will adopt a decision for peace or for war.” The brief Soviet resolution pro- | vided for: | 1. Immediate cessation of hostili- ties in Korea and withdrawal of all | foreign troops. | China and the Korean people to | take part in U.N. peace negotiations. | Malik made it clear he would veto | the U.S. proposal by pointing out that he regarded the issue as a mat- | matically if living costs rise 5 per- | | 2.

Still Alive in House | WASHINGTON, Aug. 4—®—The | House today junked its mandatory wage and price curb bill and started over on the job of writing an eco- nomic control measure. Beginning with the limited con- trols President Truman has asked, the House added an anti-hoarding provision as its first step in trying to put together a new and broader bill. Approved 112 to 46, this would make hoarders subject to a year in prison and a $10,000 fine. The mandatory wage-price bill— providing for ceilings to go on auto- cent above the level of June 15— was denounced yesterday by Presi- dent Truman.

He said that “a very few people in Washington are opposing state- hood because they believe its at- tainment might shatter the dreams they are entertaining of having re- servations created wholesale throughout Alaska.” Personal Reasons Bartlett said the people he was talking about fear making Alaska a state “would interfere with their highly personal plans.” He assailed persons and organiza- ry Fighting on Korean War [Front Delegate Bartlett Makes Charges, Statehood Issue; ~Assails Those Who Oppose BIG BATTLE NOW RAGING, PUSAN FRONT Big 155s Fire Point Blank Into Enemy - Marine Planes in Action (By the Associated Press) Heavy tank and Infantry fight- ing exploded on the Pusan front in Southern Korea today.

The Washington Merry - Go - Round Bv DREW PEARSON ICopyright, 1950. By Bell Byndicate, Ine.) WSHINGTON — As Congress- ional leaders gathered in his office to discuss the President’s request for an additional $4-billion to arm our allies, Truman opened the meeting by urging everyone tc “speak freely and give me your opinions.” He got his wish. There were two verbal explos- ions at the secret session, one from Democratic Senator Tom Connally of Texas, who demanded that some of the $4-billion be diverted from ECA spending; auother from GOP Congressman Dewey Short of Mis- souri, who objected to bypassing Congressional committees. “Are all these millions for econ- omic (ECA) aid necessary at a time like this?” demanded Connally, pointing out that if. the U. S. A. must tighten its belt economically for war, our European friends should expect less economic help from us. ‘Why can’t some of it be used for military aid?” the Texas senator asked. “We can't cut off food to those unfortunate people,” explained Sec- retary of State Acheson, who at- tended the meeting. - He added that this was more important than sending arms—certainly more im- portant in keeping the iriendship of Western Europe. “Yes, but we don’t have to feec them for five years,” roiled the acid-tongued Texan. “Some of our own people need feeding. Be- sides, not all this ECA money goes for food. Some of it is spent for e (6ontm;;ed on Page Four) Malik told the council it shouldi invite “both parties participating in | North and South Koreans.

Kenneth Houghton of San | Francisco, spotted 11 armed Ko- | reans on a huge hill overlooking a "Marine position. The Koreans had { two radios and they were scattered | in seven different positions. The Koreans may have been ob- | servers detailed to watch a main | supply route.

He added that such a study would take more than two years. Statehood Opposition He listed the National Civil Lib- erties Clearing House, the National Congress of American Indians, John Rainier of the National Congress of American Indians, Oliver La Farge, President of the Association of American Indian Affairs, and former Secretary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes among persons he said had opposed the statehood bill on the ground the clause inserted by the committee would take away na- tive rights. He sald they are not familiar with the facts. The Delegate said no Alaskan had ) had any part in inserting the clause. “It was the judgment of the Sen- ate committee that it should be in- | cluded,” Bartlett said. “So far as | I am concerned I do not believe it . will damage the native people in | the slightest; nor would I object t for a moment to its deletion.” ! Oppose Reservations [ Bartlett said he wanted to see the question of native rights in Alaska settled fairly for the natives and the white people. He said the reserva- tion policy had been found wanting !in the states and until recently has been opposed by Alaskan natives. He added he opposes creation of reservations. “Those who urged votes against the Alaska statehood bill because of reservations are really arguing against statehood” he concluded. “They want Alaska to be substan- |tmlly one reservation; in that re- servation there could be little prog- lress, little room for happiness, no { room for development, and the only ones who would be satisfied would be the hired attorneys.” PRESIDENT WANTS $950 MILLION MORE FOR NAVY AIR ARM WASHINGTON, Aug. 4 — ® — President Truman asked Congress today for an extra $950,000,000 for Naval plane construction and pro- curement. In a message to House Speaker Sam Rayburn, Mr. Truman said the funds are to be in addition to the $10,500,000,000 emergency defense appropriation requested last month after the outbreak of fighting in Korea. Congressional sources told report- ers the new Navy fund'would speed up the Navy's plane program in line with expanded production in- tended to bring about a total Air Force of 69 groups. If approved, the extra money would give the Navy $1,596,269,000 for its plane program for the pre-, sent fiscal year, which began July 1.; dies and in a ruined village. Even et i e aban e Americn team lost 16 killed and 44 wounded. Marines in Action U.S. Marines flying carrier-borne planes got into their first action. Marine combat troops in positions close to the 27th Regimental Com- bat Team, got their first sight of an enemy patrol, but exchanged no shots. A Hong Kong newspaper reported that Chinese Communist General Lin Piao, known as the Manchurian Hammer, was being slated for an “important assignment” in the northeast, possibly in Manchuria on the North Korean border. The U.S. 25th Infantry Division moved 80 miles from the north and met the brunt of thq enemy attack in the south. 1 U.8. Division Shifted The much-battered 24th Infantry Division, veterans of the battle of the Kum river and Taejon, was shifted to a quieter sector along the Naktong river. It dispersed some North Korean patrols probing the new positions, A new American unit, a company platoon from an unnamed regiment, got into action in the southern battle.
