The United States 9th Army in

First Cavalry Division "annihil-

Another force of 800 was attacked

A strong Red attack against the
South Korean 1st Division in the

the Allied infantrymen, the COM

mary said the South Korean 9th
Division had trapped an enemy

Cavalry Division along the Max

Americans Suffer Losses.
The American gains were not
without losses, however. Front
line dispatches said a steady
stream of ambulances bore the
wounded to the rear, especially in
the Changnyong sector.
From the far southern end Of
the line there were reports the
enemy was building up another
force, with tanks, after ,egroup-
ing. An offensive movement was
expected there, AP Correspond

though American forces there
were in command of the situation.

'B-29 Raid Near Siberia Ignores
Risk of Open Soviet Intervention

no indication that the Soviet air
force reacted to the Najin mis-
sion.
The reason for hitting Najin
seems to have been based on solid
military grounds. 1t is a rail CEN
ter and port town through which
North Korean supplies and REIN
forcements have been moving.
During recent weeks, the enemy
has been moving men and ma
terrell southwark along his coast
line in a series of short water
hops, usually by night.
The B-29 bombers during the
last seven weeks have pretty well
worked over profitable strategic
targets in Korea. Oil refineries
and some manufacturing centers
have been plastered often and
heavily. With these targets at
least temporarily scratched, the
bombing program called for shifts
to other smaller but important
strategic targets-like Najin.
This northward movement OF
the strategic bomb line neces-
sarily carried with it the calcu-
lated risk that the North Ko-
reans' sponsor and neighbor, Rus
sia, might react.

Congress Expects
New Estimates Soon
On Costs Of Defense
By the Associated Press

Congressional leaders hope to
get more definite estimates soon
on how many billions of dollars
will be needed to meet costs of
the Korean battle and related de-
fense programs.
Leaders of both major parties
fconcede that they do not know
just what President Truman. and
his cabinet leaders will ask of
Congress in the next few weeks or
months.
To date, the President has asked
about $16.5 billion of additional
defense funds since the Commun-
iSt invasion Of Southern Korea.
That was on top of earlier de-
fenSe spending requests of about
$14.5 billion already tentatively
approved by the Senate and
House in the one package appro
priation bill.
Chairman Connally expected 70
get some new cost data this week
when his Senate Foreign Rela-
tions Committee hears secret
testimony by Secretary of Defense
johnson.
Senator Connally said his group
wants to review all defense plans
at home and abroad in connection
with the request for 81 billion to
speed the rearming of Western
Europe and other anti-Communist
nations. ....
Congress previously voted ST.
222 100000 this year toward re-
arming anti-CommuniSt nations.
Some Senators say that the ad-
ditional defense requests will
boost the total for the current
fiscal year, which ends next June
80, to $45 billion.
Chairman Taft of the Senate
Republican Policy Committee re-
ferred to this on the Senate floor
last week while charging that the
Democratic administration has
not told the people all the facts"
1T has not presented the pro-
gram which it really is looking
forward to for the American
people, that perhaps we are going
to spend $45 billion year on our
armed forces instead Of $25 bill
lion; perhaps we are going to be-
gin a three-year plan to make this
Nation the most powerful military
force the world has ever seen in
time of peace"
Chairman Tydings of the Sem
ate Armed Services Committee in
dicated in radio talk yesterday
that total defense outlayS will
continue to climb sharply.
Sen. TydingS rated the United
States equal or ahead of Russia's
forces in atomic bombs, navy and
air power. He said England,
France and Western European
nations would be expected Ito
furnish the bulk of the land army
with which to oppose Russia II

President Signs Bill
On Area Fire Fiqhtinq

President Truman today signed
a bill providing for mutual aid
between the District and juriSdic-
tions in nearby States for fire
protection.
Sponsored by Representative
SaSscer, Democrat. of Maryland,
the bill sets up better protection
for firemen of any Jurisdiction in
volved who may be injured when
fighting fire away from his home
station.
While there have been informal
exchanges Of such help across the
geographical lines in the past,
officials of all jurisdictions agreed
that the measure would be helpful
in improving fire fighting in the
whole Metropolitan Area.

Associated Press Military Affairs Reporter
The United States has given
Russia a new and unmistakable
token of its determination to fight
the Korean war, even at the risk
of open Soviet intervention.
A mission Of American Air Force
superfortresses, in a strike on a
North Korean city, slammed down
more than 500 tons of bombs so
close to Russian Siberia-17 miles
that the distant rumble Of the
attack probably was heard across
the border.
This week end bombing mission
to the North Korean port city Of
Najin was one of the most daring
and delicate operations of the war.
The difference between putting
bombs down on a North Korean
target or, through accident and
error in navigation, having them
fall on Soviet territory was a mat
ter of about S minutes flying time
for q big formation maneuvering
at a speed of more than 3 miles
a minute.
But there was an even greater
calculated risk. How would Russia
react to the appearance of Ameri-
can planes carrying bombs and
armed for combat so close to her
doorstep?
There was this to remember:
On April 8, before there was any
shooting war anywhere, four Rus
sian fighters shot down an un-
armed United States Navy patrol
plane over the open Baltic, more
than 80 miles from the nearest
Russian territory.
Moscow let it be known thai
more action of the same kline
could be expected If foreign plane:

Other Cities 10 Speed
Civilian Defense

Engineer Commissioner Gordon
R. Young, who has been directing
the development Of a compre-
hensive civilian defense plan fol
Washington, last night urged other
cities to get on with the same job.
Gen. Young, in a broadcast in
terview, had this advice to Offer
other communities:
First, each community should
start pushing civilian defense
plans, not because a great war Is
imminent but because it takes q
long time to work up and put
into effect a good plan.
Second, each community should
put in charge of civilian defense
a "first-class man" who can pre-
pare a sound and tailor made plan
to fit that community's particular
needs.
Third, from the very begin
ming, the heads Of the city must
take the citizens into their con-
fidence: they must enlist their CO.
operation: educate them as tc
what 1t is all about; and they
must teach them to keep then
heads and be sensible in an emer-
gency."
AS for Washington's plans. Gen
Young said the $500. 900 appro.
priation now pending in Congress!
will be used for a full-time staff
blueprint of what existing cit!
agencies should do in an emer'
gency, establishment Of a head
quarters and the start Of warn
ing net and an educational cam
paign.
Gen. Young added, however
that several hundred Thousand
dollars more" may be needed tt
complete the warning net and tt
stock up on supplies. He refused
to guess at the ultimate cost.
