well as successes, but the issue
Of battle is now fully joined & will

without choice. The General
has indicated that the u. S.

firm.
Continuing, Mac Arthur
said, tour casualties despite
odds, have been relatively
light. Our strength will CONT
nually increase while that Of
the enemy will relatively de-
crease. His supply lines is in
secure, he had his great chance
and failed to exploit it. We
are now in Korea in force, and
with Gods help we are to stay
until constitutional authority

AS soon as word of the at
tack was received Secretary
Acheson called me at Indepen-
dence, Missouri, Mr.. Truman
said, and informed me that
with my approval he would
ask for an immediate meeting
of the United Nations Security
Council. The Security Council
met just % hours after the
communist invasion began.
The main reasons the Security
Coun. was set up was to act in sucn
cases as this. In this case, the
Council passed a resolution
which called for the invaders
OF Korea to stop the fighting
& withdraw. An effort to help
the South Koreans preserve
their independence and of
helping the UN restore peace

States. We have sent land, sea

than our own national security
and the peace of the world. So

The Commissioner have asked

Washington had several narrow
escapes last summer. The amount
of water consumed here on July 20
was 81 per cent in excess of the
capacity of present filtration
plants. During two other weekly
periods in August, the consump-

above capacity.
That put a severe drain on
storage and distribution but did
not last long enough to affect
normal washing, drinking. cook

Infant Death Rate Here Boy, Is, Dies ofWound
Is Tied With Second Apparently Inflicted
Lowest Among States In Russian Roulette

The 1948 infant mortality rate
of the District tied with that of
Oregon, the second lowest among
the States. in a comparison made
public today by the Public Health
Service.
The 1948 rate here was 25.5
deaths per 1000 live births. Ore
gon had the same figure.
Connecticut had the lowest rate
in the tabulation with 24.3. The
highest rates were 70.1 for New
Mexico, 56.4 for Arizona and 46.2
for Texas.
The table gave 1910 statistics
for comparison. In that year there
were ATT deaths per 1000 live
births in the District and 80 States
had lower figures.
At the vital statistics section of
the District Health Department, it
was said that the 1948 infant NOR
tality figure here was the lowest
in history.
The departments figures differ
ed slightly from those of the
Public Health Service. The latter
are corrected as to place of resi-
dence. For example, if Rockville,
Md. mothers child is born in a
Washington hospital, it is counted
a District birth in the Health De-
partment tabulation, but a Mary
land birth in the PHS list.
The Health Departments figure
for 1948 was 23.9; for 1949, $50.
The Public Health Services
comparative tabulation of 1949
rates will not be issued for an
other year.
