The Korean war is teaching
American fighter pilots the new

High-speed jet fighters may be
all right for high altitude combat

proving ineffective against the
slow moving but highly maneuver-
able Russian Yaks flown by the
North Koreans. Jet pilots have
slowed down their planes to 400

Killed by Reds After
7 Hours Of Combat
Bozooku Ammunition Man
Shot Through Heart From

AN ADVANCED COMMAND
OUTPOST IN SOUTH KOREA,
July 5.-American troops went
into action today against North
Korean forces and within two
hours an American combat foot
soldier was killed-the first of this
war.
The soldier. an ammunition
bearer for a bazooka squad, was
shot through the heart by blast
from a machine gun from one of
two Red tanks which his squad
was trying to knock out.
The two tanks had cut off an
advanced American unit from
communication with supporting
elements.
The blond young doughboy
raised his head to take a look
through driving rain at the two
Communist tanks. The tanks
were parked on the railway tracks
on the outskirts of Sojong, 13
miles south of Suwon. Detailed
maps show Sojung 18 miles south
of Suwon)
The bullets caught him as he
looked. He coughed, cried out
once, then died.
A member of another bazooka
squad was wounded slightly by a
fragment from a shell fired by
one of the tanks.

the possibility that submarines
might enter the picture.
Spokesmen have repeatedly told
Pentagon press conferences that
the North Korean navy does not
have any submarines. but there is
increasing speculation that such
craft could be transferred or
loaned from the feet of Soviet
Russia. United States intelligence
estimates of the Korean situation
appear to have been initially poor.
While there is no question that
Gen. Macarthur has blanket au-
thority to commit as many troops
as necessary. the mere fact that
1t will take far more men than
at first was thought necessary,
worries Pentagon officials.
IT is believed here that Russia,
If she intends to move at all, will
wait until large numbers of Amer
icaf1 troops are in the Korean
area.
Military authorities long have
recognized that in case of a war

would be at least initially inde-

most effective fighter in use here
is the Mustang, which, is not only
death on Yaks but also is good
for straf1ng troops.
When the war broke out dozens
OF Mustangs were being scrapped

converted to jets. Fortunately,
enough were still in service to be

the same sweptback wings; it is

incidentally this is the only war
in modern times where Americans
are able to go for a days fighting
and return home to have dinner
with the wife and kids. Most
married men here have their fam
lilies with them.
If I don't get Yak pretty

Giuliano, Bandit Kinq
OF Sicily, Is Trapped
And Slain by Police
Outflow, 2S, Who EIuded
Law Seven Years Killed
In Mountain Hideout
By the Assoeiated Press

PALERMO, Sicily, July S.
Salvatore Giuliano. will-o'- the
wisp bandit king who proclaimed
his own Sicilian government and
taunted Rome for its desperate
seven-year attempt to run him
down, was .shot and killed in his
mountain hideout just before
dawn today.
The Italian government said the
death of the colorful 28-year-old
Robin Hood of the hills meant the
end of banditry in Sicily.
Commando police were hot on
the heels of Giuliano for the last
two weeks. In the last few days
they closed in, surrounding him
in his lair in the hills of Castel-
vetrano. so miles from Palermo.
Giuliano tried to shoot his way
out of the house in which he was
hiding. Police opened fire with
submachine guns, ending the
career of man whose band was
accused of killing nearly 100
policemen. Some of Giuliano's
comrades escaped.
Trapped With Camouflaged Car.
The special detachment of 1000
police which had been trailing the
outlaw trapped him with a radio
car camouflaged as newspaper
truck. When Giuliano left his
hldeaway house to go to another
building, the police sprang the
trap. The battle was brief. The
bandit king fell with bullets in
his chest.
The special force of Carabinieri
had been closing dragnet on him
for eight months.
In that time most of his band
had been wiped out. A dozen or
more are on trial, and nearly that
many have been killed in fights
with the police.

state of Sicily" and challenged the

Bishop 0'Hara, Aides
Expelled by Romania
By the Assoeiated Press

LONDON, July 5.-Romania an
nounced today the expulsion of
Catholic Bishop Gerald Patrick
O'Hara of Savannah and Atlanta,
Ga, on charges of spying. He is
the last diplomatic representative
of the Vatican in an Iron Curtain
country.
Two other members of the apos-
tolic nunciature-in which Bishop
O'Hara was regent-were expelled
on similar charges. Vatican
sources said the move had been
expected from day to day and
doubtless is the prelude to the
complete suppression of the
Bucharest nunciature." This is
the Office of the diplomatic repre-
sentative of the Vatican.
A broadcast by the Romanian
News Agency said the Communist
led regime in Bucharest had given
Bishop O'Hara and the two other
Catholic officials three days to
leave the country.
Attempts to reach Bishop
O'Hara by phone from Prague
were not Immediately successful.
Besides Bishop O'Hara, the for
eign Office ousted Msgr. Delmester
de Chonbert. auditor of the nun
ciature, and Msgr. John Kirk
secretary of the office.
Bishop O'Hara was accused last
week during the treason trial in
Bucharest of his chauffeur and six
others accused of engaging the
chauffeur to spy for him. A mill
tary court sentenced the chauf-
feur, Nicolau Popescu, to seven
years imprisonment.

Senators Vote Funds
For Thousands Of New
Defense Agency Jobs
Subcommittee Restores
$400 Million Slash
Made in House Bill
By Joseph Young

A Senate Appropriations SUBJ
committee has voted to approve
thousands of additional Jobs for
the Defense Department.
The Armed Services subcom-
mittee recommended the restora-
ton Of nearly $400 million slashed
from military appropriations by
the House.
Should this recommendation be
sustained by the full committee
and by Congress- very likely
prospect in view of the tense in
ternational situation it would
mean the creation of thousands
of new civilian jobs in the Defense
Department.
1t would be a complete reversal
OF the Houses action, which had
not only cut $400 million from
the original military budget re-
quests, but had ordered 2 per
cent reduction in civilian person
mel for the military agencies.
The original budget requests OF
the Defense Department would
have permitted hiring additional
civilian employees. This rejection
by the House, plus the additional
economy riders voted, would have
meant decrease in civilian per-
sonnel in the defense agencies.
Now, however, the Senate
groups vote to restore the $40O
million fund cut would permit the
hiring of additional employees.

rife feuds in the past when
.Pitchfork" Ben Tillman. Cole
BleaSe and Cotton Ed" Smith
were foremost contenders-goes
into its final week today with
Gov. j. Strom Thurmond and
Senator Oin D. Johnston fighting
it out for the Democratic nomina-
tion for Senator.
For weeks the two men have
travelled over the State, speaking
from the same platform, hurting
epithets and insults at each other.
Each is trying to prove to the
voters that he hates the Truman
civil rights program to a greater
degree than the other. Each is
seeking to show he has no use
for President Truman.
In some measure. the campaign
for the senatorial nomination is
a reproduction of the battles waged
for Democratic senatorial nomina-
tions in Florida and North Caro-
line-in which the race issue was
given prominent place.
Race Is Close.
Gov. Thurmond is seeking to
show that Senator Johnston is
hooked up with President Truman
and Senator Johnston firmly
denies it.
Gov. Thurmond was the States
Right candidate for President who
took electoral votes of four South
err states away from Mr.. Truman
in 1948. He glories in the achieve
ment and regrets he was unable to
throw the presidential election into
the House of Representatives.
It's anybody's guess how the
voting will go, although the pre-
ponderance of opinion seems to
give Senator Johnston the edge.

This news of the setback for the

Northerners drove the defend

is II miles southeast of Suwon,
which in turn is % miles south

The communique confirmed a
gathering threat of Communist
forces east of Suwon, apparently
designed to lop off this whole Sec
tor of the front. That would

mittee the House bill "goes a long
way towards meeting the objec-
tives set by the President"
He added, however:
The effect of recent interna.
tional developments on our ex-
penditures will become clearer as
events unfold. Therefore, if dur
ing the course of your considera-
ton Of this legislation it appears
that we are confronted with a
substantial increase in defense ex-
penditures and strains on the
economy. I shall not hesitate to
so advise you. AS the President
indicated in his tax message, we
must be ready to gear changes
in the revenue laws to the needs
of our economy"
The bill under consideration is
not designed primarily to increase
Government income, but merely to
cut wartime excise rates and off
set the loss with higher corpora
ton taxes. Mr.. Snyder made it
clear to the Senators that the
administration prefers a tax bill
that would bring in more rev.
enue.
No Hint Of Veto by Truman.
At the same time, however.
there was no hint in his testi-
mony that the President would
veto the House bill. On the con-
trary. Mr.. Snyder said Com
promise is characteristic of the
Democratic legislative process"
The Treasury chief reached 4
different estimate of how close the
House bill would come to balanc-
ing as between reductions and
new taxes.
The House experts figured their
bill would cut excise taxes $1,01O.-
100000. and make up all but $12
million Of that loss by raising
the income tax on big corpora
tions and closing some loopholes.
Mr.. Snyder figured the House bill
would fall $170 million short of
balancing.
The House bill also would make
corporations pay their income tax
more readily. in a way that would
bring $500 million additional into
the Treasury next year. Mr.. ,Sny-
der indorsed this as a desirable
tax reform. but insisted the speed
up payments "is not a revenua
raising measure and therefore
cannot be regarded as an offset
to the revenue lost from excise
tax reduction"
Snyder Stresses Recent Events.
In his original tax measure to
Congress six months ago President
truman asked for bill that
would raise enough on corpora
tons and estates to leave the
