Edition MAY 1951 MEMBER ASSOCIATED PRESS PRICE TEN CENTS g Allied Forces Are Swarming Into PLANE USED IN ILLEGAL HUNTING AWARDED TO FWS The U. S. Fish and Wildlife Ser- vice has been awarded an Aeronca Chief, two-place airplane by Judge A. J.:Dimond, U. S. Court in the | Third Division. The plane was seized by Holger S. Larsen, enforcement agent of the FSW, near Kashwitna in the middle of last December when Ger- ald A. Bowlin was apprehended on the charge of hunting moose from a plane. On complaint of Larsen, the plane was put in custody of~Da- vid A. Drew, deputy U. S. Marshal of the Third Division and kept by him until court action of May 15, | awarded it to the Fish and Wildlife Service. Local FWS officials pointed out that under Section 191, Title 48, USCA and Section - 46.101 of the Alaska game regulations, 'hunting moose from an airplane is prohib- ited. Confiscation of the plane was similar to confiscation of fire- arms or other equipment taken in illegal hunting. Dan Ralston, chief enforcement agent in the Jungali office said that this is the firSt seizure of its kind made of aircraft and is in line with FWS policy for the future concerning aircraft used in hunting. ALASKA NAT. GUARD DETACHMENT ATTEND CAMP IN WASHINGTON A detachment of 18 officers and ‘enlis d men of the 208th Infant- ted men from the 207th Infantry Battalion (Sep), Alaska National Guard leave June 9§ for summer encampment at Ft. Lewis, Wash- ington. Primary objective of tne encamp- ment is to train personnel in their present assignments to the Alaska National Guard. The policy of send- ing members of the guard of one state to another for purposes of encampment is usually not done. Through the efforts of Col. Joseph D. Alexander, acting adjutant gen- eral, approval has been received from National Guard Bureau, Washington, D. C., for members of the Alaska National Guard to at- TRAINMEN SETTLE TWO YR. DISPUTE WASHINGTON, May 26 — (P — The Brotherhood of Railroad Train- men and the nation’s major rail- roads have settled their bitter two- year-old wage dispute. Three other rail unions remain at outs with the carriers. The trainmen, headed by W. P. Kennedy, settled last night for a 33 cent hourly increase for yardmen and 18': cents for those in road service, effective at various dates back to last October 1. Spokesmen for both sides they were sure that Wage Stabil tion Board approval was unneces- sary because the terms had been agreed in general last Dec. 21, some 30 days before the government froze wages. Whether that theory would hold up or not depends on the board. Terms of the settlement between the 150,000 members of the train- men’s brotherhood and the carriers were being studied by the three other operating unions — the engin- eers, conductors, and firemen.

' The W;shingion Merry - Go- Round By DREW PEARSON (Copyright, 1951, by Bell Syndicate, Inc.; ASHINGTON.—A group with- in the cabinet and the State De- partment policy committee are working backstage with the Dem- ocratic National Committee to find a successor for Dean Acheson. They regard their job as twofold: 1. To convince the President he ought to let Acheson go for the good of the country and party; 2. To find a man so acceptable that HST will buy. One leader of this group is Sec- retary of the Interior Oscar Chap- man and this was a main topic for discussion behind closed doors at the Denver Democratic powwow. The formula this group has in mind as Acheson’s successor is: a progressive, internationally minded Republican, vigorous, healthy, and with Congressional experience. Secretary Chapman, who will deny this vigorously if questioned, even sounded out one possible can- didate before going to Denver.

Never before have 50 many people of the world looked to us as a free people.” Setting forth these the speaker said: “These are the things which we must keep in mind and especially you young people to whom we look for our leadership of tomorrow.” Harmon stressed the needs of the community and the ways in which the young graduates could help in | their fulfillment. | The band opened with a Processional, followed by the Invocation by Rev.

NO ORDER VIOLATED, MacARTHUR Gen. Collin Insists Only "Policy’” Was Over- siepped by General WASHINGTON, May 26 — (P — Gen. J. Lawton Collins, Army Chief of Staff insisted today that Gen. Douglas MacArthur “viulnt.e(l a pol- icy” in sending U. 8. troops close to the Manchurian border in Korea. He said he does not accuse the weneral of violating an “order,” but that the Joint Chiefs of Staff feared “the thing might be done in some other instance of a more serious nature. Collins made the statements at hearings by the Senate Armed Serv- ices and Foreign Relations com- and Carl Weidman a scholarship | mittees on MacArthur’s dismissal as Far Eastern commander. Collins first raised the matier State College was WONU yo.torgay in response to a question. It put a whole new issue into the MacArthur hearings because of the implication that the Joint Chiefs of Staff hag cautioned MacArthur against action which might bring Chinese Communists into the Korea War, but he had disregarded their policy views. Bombing Issue Collins said the Pentagon “care- fully reviewed” the idea of bomb- ing Chinese Communist bases Manch: ey ot EReireme i it. MacArthur's public advocacy of using air power against Chinese bases, in an effort to shorten the Korean war, was one of the policy differences figuring in his dismissal. Soon after returning to the wit- ness chair today, Collins said he i had checked his records and it ap- did to peared that McArthur never specifically request authority bomb such targets. No Recommendation S0 far as we have been able| to locate,” Collins said, “he made no specific recommendation, but in all frankness and honesty, in my judgment he clearly indicated that he thought it ought to be done . . " Collins went on to say MacArthur had “raised the question” of bomb- ing such targets as early as last Nov. 7, when “he stated that re- strictions placed upen the United Nations operations in Korea provid- ed a sanctuary for héstile forces.” At that time, Collins said, Mac- Arthur sought instructions for deal- ing “with this new and threatening development.” Collins added that after MacAr- thur’s Nov. 7 message there were several references to the matter— apparently by MacArthur —*“from that time forward.” Chinese Attacked Senator Russell asked whether the Chinese had attacked in force in Korea at the time of the Nov. 7 message. “No, not until the 24th of Novem- ber,” Collins replied. Senator Hickenlooper commented it was cutting a commander down “pretty thin” if he was required “to write to the Joint Chiefs of Staff every time he wants to load a can- non or, say, put five rounds in a rifle.” Russell said he saw “absolutely no relationship between asking per- mission to load a cannon and asking permission to bomb forces outside of Korea that had not yet demon- strated that they were attacking our Armed Forces.” Russell added: 4o Interveniion “ly wout: scem to be quife a difference in that and in deciding to attack neutral forces that were within their own country and had not yet intervened in the war.” Collins said the Joint Chiefs of Staff gave consideration to the bombing issue. Although they had decided against it, he said, “we carefully reviewed the thing after a message from Mac- Arthur dated the "7th of November. We then again reviewed it in early January.” Collins testified that the Joint Chiefs also referred the matter to Secretary of Defense Marshall, but added “it remained their opinion that targets in China and Man- churia should not be attacked under the conditions that then existed.” Yed 1sorea MEMORIAL DAY TO|BPWC MEMBERS BE OBSERVED WITH CEREMONIES,PARADE .

Gen. James A. Van Fleet. AP Correspondent Jim Becker said it appeared the Allied com- manders ‘“were striking a daring blow for victory.” Communists were surrendering in “unprecedented” numbers, Becker reported in a front dispatch. Pell-Mell Flight Red ‘troops jammed the roads to the north in pell-mell flight. They had abandoned their tactics of waiting until nightfall to move. Al- lied planes hammered at these widée open targets. “We've never seen anything like it before,” a U. 8., 8th Army brief- ing officer said, He added, *Amaz- ing.” The "Allles too had abandoned their maneuver of the slow advance. They ¢lammed across the border into Red Korea in.a half«dozen places. Allied troops were shifting into high gear in their northward thrust from the Yollow Sea to the Sea of Japan. Commanders expressed concern over 60,000 fresh Chinese troops known to be close to the front, but they appeared to be relying on Al- lied high mobility to meet any pos- sible thrust. One officer sal “Any time you go out for the whole put you've got to take a chance.” Swarm Over Eorder Allied troops were across the bor- der — from east to west — at Yang- yang, Inje, near Hwachon and northwest of Chunchon, and north- east of Uijongbu, In the extreme west, UN forees were strung along the border at several points. There were so many Chinese dead on some hills, one officer said, “you have to be careful not to step on them.” ¢ U. 8. Doughboys rammed up the main Central Korean. highway northwest of captured Chunchon in a pouring rain and rolled apout two miles beyond the 38th Parallel. Opposition Light Red opposition was light as the infantry column stabbed within siz miles of Hwachon, a former hey | Chinese bastion eight miles north of the pre-war-political boundary. To the east, American and French troops smashed through Chinese screening forces and swept up the Hongchon-Inje road. The thrust opened a direct supply route to the Allied bridgehead across the Cho- yang river ‘on the East-Central front. Trap Tightened The {ak.-np with the bridgehead tirhtened the trap on sulcidal Chi- nece fighuing rearguard actions to keep open a_ six-mile escape route in the mountains near the road. The American-French link-up column knocked out Red resistance along the important Hongchon- Inje road. The infantrymen captur- ed six important hills commanding the route. A U. 8. task force reached Inje and South Korean forces to the east were reported to have occupied Yangyang, six miles north of the 38th Parallel on the east coast. Fast Moving Advance Fast-moving Allied units knifed across Ahe Parallel at several points on the East-Central and Eastern fronts Saturday. They advanced against almost no opposition from Chinese who, an officer said, “sur- rendered “in numbers.” " (Continued on Page Two) STEAMER MOVEMENTS Denali from Seattle scheduled to arrive sometime Monday.
