CONGRESSIONAL IBRARY VASHINGTON, D. THE DAILY VOL. LXXVIIL, NO. 11,944 JUNEAU, ALASKA, MONDA Reds Refreat; | U.S. Tanks Rake Kumsong By ROBERT EUNSON U.S. EIGHTH ARMY HEAD- QUARTERS, -Korea, Oct. 22—(P— American tanks rumbled into flam- ing Kumsong today for the second time in three days as Chinese re- treated before advancing Allied In- fantrymen. For four hours the M-46 Patton tanks shot up the former Red stronghold on the central front. Then they lumbered back through mud and heavy mortar fire to their own lines. Allied Infantrymen, striking out of the fog, overran two hill passes including the highest yet taken on the 15-mile Kumsong front. The Reds put up a hot fight on the ridgeline for a little while. Then they withdrew, and the United Nations Infantrymen ad- vanced unopposed through the mud. Despite the soggy going, the ad- vance was so rapid engineers had a hard time keeping up with the In- fantrymen. Forty-two Chinese didn’t want to retreat. They surrendered. A front line officer estimated Red casualties in the ten day offensive would exceed 15,000. The Air Force said nine B-29s today knocked out a new airfield in northwest Korea just as the Reds were getting it ready for use. The target, at Taechon about 45 miles southeast of the Manchurian border, was designated ‘“very spe- cial” by the Air Force. For a long time, observers had watched the Reds build the concrete airstrip from riverbottom sand. When it was ripe for blasting — after the Reds had spent the ulti- mate in labor on it and just before it could be put in use — a high- ranking ~Air Force officer called for its destruction. CAB Under Fire Over Canelling Airline Permit WASHINGTON, Oct. 22 — (# — A federal order canceiling the per- mit of an independent airline to fly a route to Alaska came under fire in the Senate Saturday. Senator Sparkman (D-Ala) chair- man of the Senate Small Business Committee which is investigating the Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB) told the Senate CAB had :‘crrcd" in judgment when it made the order. He joined Senator Morse (D-Ore) in a remewal of accusations that CAB at times has applied “stran- gulatjon regulations” to independent air lines. Sparkman named the line in ques- tion as Air Transport Associates. Morse said the permit cancellation was part of a CAB program to “eliminate the independent air lines” and had caused “great up- set” to the business life at Anchor- age and other Alaska cities. Morse' asked Sparkman whether he feared CAB might get tougher with the independents while Con- gress is out of session. Sparkman told Morse he has instructed the committee staff to “keep in touch” with CAB affairs while Congress is away. Th;Washingion Merry - Go-Round ht, 1951. by Bell Syndicate, Inc.) By DREW PEARSON (Con: ASHINGTON—Historians who evaluate the closing days of the 82nd Congress will probably make special note of the confirmation debate] over Ambassador Philip Jessup be- cause of two things: 1. Tt marked the high-water mark in this country of legislation through fear, Such Senators as Gillette of Iowa and Smith of New Jersey were fully aware of the unfairness of the charges against Jessup but bowed to their fear of a small, intolerant, vociferous segement of the Ameri- can ‘public - sometimes called Mc- Carthyites. ' 2. It also marked a period when newspaper editors were criticizing the White House on freedom of the press, while one wing of tlie press seriously confused , the - public by distorting or suppressing important facts so necessary to a free press. Unquestionably the timidity of certain Senators was due in part to this confused and poorly informed (Continued on Page 4) — Exped New Truce Talks To Start By ROBERT B. TUCKMAN MUNSAN, Korea, Oct. 22—P— Korean truce talks are expected to resume tomorrow or Wednesday. Liaison officers today completed an agreement for reopening nego- tiations after a two-month break. The United Nations command promptly ratified it. If the Communists OK it today, armistice talks will reopen‘at 11 a.m. tomorrow (9 p.m., tonight, EST). Brig. Gen. Willlam P. Nuckols, kesman for the U.N. Command, ! if Red approval is received to- 1orrow morning, delegations “may well agree on initiating the sessions tomorrow afternoon.” The two five-man negotiating committees will meet in a faded yellow tent at Panmunjom, midway between opposing front lines. They will take up right where they left off at Kaesong — on the question of where to create a demilitarized zone for the armistice. The Reds suspended the Kaesong talks Aug. 23. They charged the Allies bombed the Kaesong neutral zone the day before but the Allies denied the charge. UN. and Communist liaison of- ficers completed their arrangements for renewal of negotiations by signing = an eight-point security pact at 10:45 a.m., Monday. Three hours and 20 minutes later the U.N. ratification was delivered to the Reds at Panmunjom. It called on the Communists to renew truce talks “without further delay.” Reds Have Many Dianes on Korean Front Is Report WASHINGTON, Oct. 22 — # —j The Air Force said today the Com- munists have well over 1,200 planes, half of them jets, north of the Yalu river border between Korea and | Manchuria. Enemy air strength capable of use in Korea has been steadily in- creased despite Red losses, a spokes- man told a Pentagon news confer- ence. He said that 90 Russian-built jets have been destroyed or prob- ably destroyed and 204 damaged or | believed damaged by United Na- tions airmen since June 30. Before today’s conference a sec- | recy label was lifted from an off-| | the-record statement by Gen. Omar | Bradley Oct. 5 that UN. air op- erations have been costing the enemy about 7,000 trucks a month. The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff made the statement on his return from an inspection trip | to Korea. Front Door Locked But Trap Door Open ! Means Loss of $80 A little detective work by Ju- neau police soon discovered how thieves, working in the wee hours of Sunday morning, broke into a South Franklin candy store owned by James Sofoulis.

Police advised Sofoulis also to lock the trap door in the future. Profests Made on Vatican Relations WASHINGTON, Oct. 22—(P—A wave of protest against President Truman’s decision to enter regular diplomatic relations with the Vat- ican promised today to -touch off a heated battle when Congress re- convenes. There was little if any criticism of the President's seiection of Gen. Mark Clark as Ambassador to the Roman Catholic Church State.

Wilsen’s Afom Blast May Be Birth 0f Baby Bomb LAS VEGAS, Nev., Oct. 22—P— The Atomic Energy Commission an- nounced that it set off a nuclear explosion at its Yucca Flat test site shortly after 6 a.m. (PST) today. Las Vegas, 75 miles away. The as a| bright explosion came just sun was rising over the ntains to the ecast, and this way have had something to do with the ity of observers to see a flash to the northwest. It was ‘he = Nevada, }ive others were set off at the AEC proving ground near! here last winter, all before dawn. All were brilliantly visible for hundreds of miles. The AEC made only this state- ment: “One of the nuclear detonations| announced by the Atomic Energy Commission on Aug. 28 was held| this morning at the Nevada test site.” An AEC spokesman confirmed | that the shot was made from the; top of a 100-foot steel tower, similar to the structures used in the orig- inal A-bomb blast at Alamagordo, | N.M, in 1945 and also later at Eni- | quarters and talking with them. She | | has been Republican National Com- wetok. The absence of any flash would; seem to confirm speculation that the AEC has developed a smaller nuc- lear weapon. Speculation on such weapcns has included artillery-type shells and guided missiles with atomic warheads. This, however, was a stationary| or fixed-point detonation and would | indicate that the atomic scientists | have developed what might be | termed a baby A-bomb. Statehoed Bills Up Next Congress Is Promise Made WASHINGTON, Oct. 22 — ® — Majority Leader McFarland (D- Ariz) told the Senate Saturday the | statehood for Hawaii and Alaska| | | | will be considered early in the next) se: n of Congress that begins January 8. The House has passed bills to ad- mit Hawaii and Alaska as the 49th and 50th states several times, but; they always have died in the Senate. | Senator Knowland (R-Calif) to- day asked assurances from McFar- land that the statehood bills would be considered “early in the next session.” He said people of the two terri- tories had been “waiting a long time” and unless the Senate acted early in the session there probably Senator - O'Mahoney (D-Wyo), chairman of the Senate Interior and Insular Affairs committee which handles the legislation, said he would do everything possible to get the statehood issue before the Senate promptly, saying: “People of those areas are en- titled to have a decision.

Officer's Revolver Found by Child; Result, Baby Killed LOS ANGELES, Oct. 22—(®—Po- lice officer Andrew J. Bacquet, 32, was attending a western movie at a | crive-in theater with his family. | The roar of the cowboy-actors’ guns was deafening. Suddenly | Bacquet’s wife stumbled from the rear seat moaning: “The baby’s dead — I'm hurt.” Bacquet’s 3-year-old son, Ronald, | had climbed back into the rear seat of the car and found his father’s service revolver. Holding it in both hands, he pulled the trig- ger. The bullet passed through the neck of his 4-month-old brother Mark and lodged in his mother’s| abdomen. The baby was dead on arrival at a hospital. Mrs. Bacquet | was in critical condition. | EMPIRE WANT ADS PAY — lined the basic problem at the out- | set of the meeting. Boochever | stated that the waters of Southeast Alaska are classified as coastnl waters and that stringent inspection rules were adhered to although thc| hoats only travel in protected water- ways. He emphasized that he was not objecting to enforcement of proper safety regulations but that by requiring the same standards for Southeast vessels as those ships that travel on the high seas, the Coast Guard was working a hardship on owtiers of sniaif v s. The regulation that requires a barge to be inspected each time it is beached is illogical because for many years barges have been the only means of transporting heavy equipment and supplies to isolated areas where there are no docking facilities, Boochever said. The barges are landed on sandy beaches at low tide, its cargo removed, and the vessel refloated at high tide. To require that a barge be inspected following each beaching of this type is an unnecessary hardship, he said. | i Witnesses Appear That he would have to go into the boat business to stay in the logging business was the statement made by Wally Westfall. Westfall, who operates small logging camps on Bdranof Island, said that the prob- lem of taking supplies and heavy equipment to his camps was almost insurmountable, Under Coast Guard regulations, tug boats ar- riving at the camps to tow log rafts are not allowed to carry freight and as a result when planes cannot bring in supplies, his loggers have not had fresh meag or other supplies Westfall said that he has heavy| logging equipment stored on the| docks in Juneau and because of the | stringent enforcement of barge op- | erations he has not had any way of | transporting the machinery. Answering a question raised by‘ Rep. Bonner, Westfall said that he had never known of a case where a barge was lost because of beach- ing operations. Barge Owner Testifies George Baggen, Jr., said that he and his father have operated a barge in Southeast Alaska waters for the past 15 years but that this year due to inspection difficulties,| the barge has been on the beach.| He said that the barge, built in 1912, had been in continuous service | and had never had an accident. Congressman Bonner said, “In other words, due to the march of progress, the barge that has seen 50 many years of service is now | beached.” . | R. J.

The witnesses were introduced by rederi’k O. Eastaugh, attorney and scereary. of the Juneau Chamber. Coast Guard Replies Vessel Owners’ b5 Admiral Joseph Greenspua, com- mandant of the 17th Coust Guard District, said that the Coast Guard has throughout its long history en- forced maritime safety measures. He said that if the waters in South- east Alaska were re-classified as in- furid waters it would not change many features of regulation en- forcement as most regulations are diafted to apply equally to high seas and inland waters. He said that the record did not entirely support the thesis that the! waters of Southeast Alaska were not hazardous. In the past three years, there have been 182 casu-i alties, with 29 lives lost and 23 ves- sels wrecked. | Rep. Bonner asked Admiral Greenspun if he believed that the regulations which prohibited the long established custom of beach-| ing barges was not retarding pro- gress in this area. Admiral Green- spun said that the question could only be decided by Coast Guard headquarters_in Washington. The Admiral added that he wasn't sat- isied with the statistics that had | been preserfted at the meeting. Comdr. Hawley stated'that there was a misunderstanding om ‘the barge regulations and that the Coast Guard permitted . beaching but not “indiscriminately.” ! Capt. Sabonis stated that one important factor that had not been brought up at the meeting was that while everyone had objected to inspection of barges, no owner had protested that his barge had been turned down following an in- spection. Delenle Seeks Steel Scrap; Will Salvage Scrap Huge Tax Bill Signed By Truman Provides for Individual Boosts; Further Increases fo Be Asked WASHINGTON, Oct. 22 — # — Higher taxes on income and many things people buy will go into effect Nov. 1. They are included in the new tax act expected to incréase the federal revenue by $5,691,000,000 a year. In signing the tax bill Saturddy, President Truman sald this is ot enough and he will call on Con- gress in January to improve the tax laws. Mr. Truman had asked for $10, 000,000,000 in new revenue, He signed the measure calling for & lesser amount, he said, not because it is a good bill but because “we badly need these revenues to help pay for the strong defenses we are building.” The measure provides for indivi- dual tax hoosts ranging from 11 to 12 percent for most taxpayers; excise (sales) tax increases on & long list of items including liquor, gasoline and household appliances, and bigger taxes for corporations. Mr. Truman criticized provisions in the law which he sald give wealthy persons new chances for escaping their share of the tax load “through such devices as excessively liberal ‘capital gains' provisions, family partnerships, and excessive depletion allowances on oil and gas and certein mineral properties.” Research fo Be Conducled on- Territory’s Coal ' PITTSBURGH, Oct. 22—f—The US.
