Reds Claim Sinking
Of 6 u. S. Ships in
Ambitious Attack
BY Left Erickson

Associated Press Foreign Correspondent
TOKYO. Sept. l4.-A Korean
Red Enthusiastically garbled in
Acknowledgements to be saying
that an Allied amphihious landing
was attempted today on Korea's
West coast near Red-held Seoul.
There was no confirmation from
Allied sources.
The United States Navy an
nounced earlier that British and
American warships' guns and car
rier planes pounded the area from
dawn to dusk Tuesday and yes
terday.
Informed Allied sources said
they believed the Reds were trying
to save face on the shellacking
they took in the bombardment by
calling it a victory in a landing
effort that was repulsed.
Associated Press field correspon-
dents in Korea said there was no
word of any activity there to sup
port the Communist reports Of
an Allied landing attempt.
The Red broadcast, from the
North Korean capital Of Pyong-
yang, reported landing attempt
began at 8 pm. q am, EDIT,
today. 1t said the effort was re-
pulsed and six American vessels
mostly destroyers-were sunk. A
later broadcast put the number at
seven.
COmmunique Broadcast.
The broadcast was picked up by
Kyodo, Japanese news agency,
which said it was terribly garbled.
At one point it said the attempt
was made at 8 p.m.-at another it
indicated it came yesterday.
A Pyongyang broadcast of the
North Korean war communique
had this to say about the Allied
naval action:
"On September 10, the peoples
army, navy and coastal patrol
units subjected United States
naval craft invading the waters
in the neighborhood of Inchon to
gunfire and sank three small de-
stroyers and four landing craft
and damaged three other landing
craft"
Islands thanking Inchon have
been seized by South Korean
marines in commando raids. This
served the double purpose of
throwing wrench in the Reds
seaborne supply lines to the
battlefront-and preparing a pos
sible avenue for an offensive.
The Allies bombardment of the
West coast was disclosed as AL
lied ground forces, more than $50
miles to the southeast, either held

Lucas Is Still HOPING
Congress Can Quit
By Saturday Night
Leaders Are Undecided
On Form of Recess;
Plans Hinge on 3 Bills

Senate Majority Leader Lucas
said today he still hopes Congress
can quit Saturday night for q
while, at least"
After a conference with other
leading Democrats and WITH Re-
publican Leader Wherry, Senator
Lucas said they were still unde-
cided what form the recess would
take-Whether it would be for
three days at a time, to a certain
day later in the year, or final adj
journment until January.
On the House side, however
some Democratic leaders were not
so optimistic about finishing Sat
urday night. They thought it
may take until the middle of next
week.
All plans for wind up this week
hinge on cleaning up the $4.5 bill
lion emergency tax bill, the Com
munist control bill and the big
supplemental defense money bill
Also on the must list is the bill tt
make Gen. Marshall eligible tc
become Secretary of Defense.
Truman Action Uncertain.
One other big question mark or
adjournment is what President
Truman will do with the Commu-
mist control bill if it clears Con-
gresS. Congressional leaders will
be waiting to see if Mr.. Truman
throws any new light on that
question at his press conference al
pm. today.

Senate Action Likely
Today on SIZE Billion

Appropriations Group
Cuts Out Amendment on
Civil Service Jobs
By J. A. O'Leory

The Senate probably will act
today on the STU billion supple
mental appropriation bill to builc
up the defenses of the United
States and her allies against Com
munist aggression.
Before reporting the measure
last night, the Senate Appropria-
tons Committee eliminated q
House rider which would have re-
quired all promotions, transfers
and reinstatements of Govern
ment employees to be made on 9
temporary basis because of the
Korean emergency. The House
provision also directed the Civil
Service Commission to make full
use" of its authority to fill new
jobs on temporary basis.
Two Sections Retained.
The Senate Committee kept ir
the bill two other House sections
which merely provide:

partment to call on other agencies
for additional personnel, within
the limits of its funds.
The aim of the House was to
prevent a permanent increase in
Government personnel as a result
of the current emergency, but the
Civil Service Commission advised
the Senate the original rider was
too rigid. The Commission also

'AttIee Cabinet
Faces Crisis on
Steel Seizure
Churchill Demand
For Censure May
Bring New Election
BY the Associated Press

LONDON, Sept. 14.-The Labor
government announced today it
will take over the British steel
industry about January /.
Winston Churchill, the Con-
sentative leader, promptly de-
clared he would ask the House of
Commons to adopt a virtual mo-
ton of censure. The motion will
be debated next Tuesday. If
passed, it might lead Prime Min
mister Atlee to resign and ask
for a new national election.
In view of its hairline majority
in Commons-now only five votes
the Labor government had been
expected until recently to let the
explosive steel issue lie dormant
for at least few months.
The bill placing the iron and
steel industry under state owner
ship is effective October /. The
government did not, however,
have to set up the corporation to
run it or fix a date for the actual
take-over at that time.
Officers to Be Named.
But this afternoon George
Strauss, the minister of supply
announced that officers. of the
corporation will be named Octo-
Der 2. 1t will be headed by S. J.
L. Hardie, chairman of the
British Oxygen Co.
Mr.. Strauss, under whose de-
partment the industry will operate
when nationalized, said it will be
taken over on January / "or as
soon as practicable thereafter.
Mr.. Churchill jumped up and
said he will offer a motion "re-
GREETING that at this most critical
period in our national safety and
affairs abroad we should be by
this act of the government
plunged into the fiercest party
controversy at home"
Clement Davies, leader of the
Liberal Party, chimed in with a
similar criticism. He called it
absolutely essential at this
present time, in view of the inter-
national situation, to maintain
as much unity as possible"
Extra Day of Debate.
The debate and vote on Mr..
Churchill's motion will keep the
current emergency session of
Parliament-called to discuss de-
tense matters-in London an
extra day. Members had ex-
pected to wind up on Monday.
Mr.. Churchill described the
government move at this time as
a "wanton and partisan act"
Mr.. Attlee reported:
I'VE are carrying out what was
passed in parliament"
Strong rumorS that the govern
ment would make it's move today
already had led the Conservatives
TO notify all their MPs that they
must be ready for a session Tues
day.
There were two schools of
thought on whether a government
defeat would mean the resigna-
ton of Mr.. Attlee's government.
Could Ignore Censure.
Some parliamentary observers
said Mr.. Attlee is bound to accept
the motion as one of censure and
to quit if beaten. Others held
that the motion, even if carried,
need not be treated as a major
matter which traditionally would
require the government in power
to step out.
The iron-steel naturalization
bill, as passed by Commons last
year, set May / as the take-over
date.
The predominantly Conserva-
tive House of Lords baked, sug-
costing July l, 1851, instead.
Strategy of the Lords was to wait
until the people had chance to
make themselves heard on the
issue at a national election.
The government compromised

Senators Seek
ToMEtake Felony
0fWire-Tapping
Bill Would Outflow
Practice Unless
Ordered by Court
By Don S. Worren

Two members OF the SenaCe
District Committee moved today
to make overlapping a felony
here unless it is permitted in
specific cases by order of a Dis
trict Court Judge.
They were Chairman Nicely and
Senator Darby, Republican, OF
Kansas, both members of the sub
committee which has been investi-
eating police tapping.
They agreed today on bill
to be introduced early this after
noon. Offering of the bill was
delayed, however, to broaden one
section. This was to permit law
enforcement officers, with court
approval, to tap wires not only
in connection with solution of
crimes, but also in tracing the
activities of subversives.
Would Garry 10-Year Penalty.
Under the new bill, wire tapping
would be made a felony punish
able by imprisonment up to 10
years or a fine up to $4,000, or
both.
Possession of wire tapping ap-
paratus with intent to use it
unlawfully also would be felony,
subject to imprisonment up to
5 years or a fine up to $5,000 or
both.
Law enforcement officers of the
District and the United States,
however, could apply to District
Court for an order or warrant to
tap wires. ~~
The court would be permitted to
issue such an order if there was
reasonable ground to believe a
crime had been committed or was
about to be committed: if there
was reasonable ground to believe
wire tapping would provide evil
dence regarding the crime, and
If such evidence could not be
obtained by other readily avail
able" means. This section is being
broadened to permit overlapping
warrants in subverSive cases.
Full Information Required.
The law would require each
application for such a warrant
to be supported by oath or aflrma-
ton setting forth fully the facts
and circumstances" on which the
application. was made. The per-
sons to be Subject to overlapping
would have to be identified to
the court, as well as the purposes
of the eavesdropping.
Senators Nicely and Darby also
are drafting a bill to make wire
tapping illegal nationally, along
the same general lines. but they
have found this involves many
more complications than a law
for the District only. 1t may be
offered later.
District committeeman have
been advised that wire tapping of
itself is not now illegal-so long
as the information obtained is not
divulged to others. There has
been some argument, however, as
to the exact meanings of the Fed
eral Communications Act on in
Perception of messages.
Nicely Seeks Action Now.
Despite the lateness of this Ses-
sion, Senator Nicely was clinging
to the hope he could get action
by the District Committee before
Congress recesses or adjourns.
Meanwhile, agents of the Sen
ate group investigating wire-t tap
ping were trying to verify decla-
rationS that could punch a hole

That really turned the trick.
We found out what a budget book
is for. We took each item in the
budget and broke it down and
figured what percentage We could
save. We'd tried to do it before,
figuring in dollars and cents, but
there were too few cents to make
it seem worth while. Now, when
We could figure in percentages and
wrap up the whole saving In a
hump percentage of our salary at
the end of the month - well, it
made a difference.
When Pete found me boiling
eggs with the fame turned way up
she'd turn it down until the water
barely dubbed, pointing out that
eggs boiled just as quick at an easy
boil as at hard boil and that you
saved 50 per cent of your gas bill.
Buy Carefully
l HERE were some things you
found it impossible to figure accu-
rately in percentages Clothes, for
example, vary so much in appear
ance and wearing qualities: you
Just couldn't walk in and buy a
$50 suit instead of a S75 one and
say you'd saved 80 per cent But
We did learn to buy more carefully
and whenever we could buy some
thing OF comparable quality at a
saving we'd figure it out in per-
centages, work it into our average.
At first there didn't seem to
be anything we could do about
our doctor bills. After a while,
though, we heard of a non-poht
health group in our city which pro-
vided complete medical. surgical
and hospital care, for $3.50 per
month. plus a dollar each for Office
calls and a dollar for home calls.
After six months, we found our
average cost for doctor and dentist
was eight dollars a month whereas
before it had been about Sl3 per
month. That saved 33 per cent -
and we were getting more frequent
medical care.
After we'd worked over our en-
tire budget - and We took months
to do it we came back to the

Soviet Attitude Toward Greece Disturbs u.

The Cominform's recent cam
pa1gn OF accusations against what
it calls "the Athens-Belgrade
Axis" which it charges with plan
ming an armed attack on Albania
and Bulgaria, has aroused, as well
1t might, the anxiety of the United
Nations Special Committee on the
Balkans.
The attempt to link Greece and
Yugoslavia together in these at
tacks is itself ground of suspi-
cion, since the two countries have
not had diplomatic relations since
1947, and it is common knowledge
that the recent efforts to restore
full relations broke down last
month over the Yugoslavs' in
sistence on protecting the rights
of the so-called "Slav minority" in
Greek Macedonia, whose very ex-
istence is denied by the Greeks
But even if there were an under
standing between Greece and
Yugoslavia. it is obvious to any
f1rst-hand observer that the
Greeks, at least. are in no posi-
ton to undertake armed aggres-
sion against anybody, nor could
they possibly be so for many years
