KOREA:
Chinese Attack

With Gen. Douglas Macarthur
personally directing the start, U.N.
forces in North Korea launched what
was called the "big-win-the-war-
push" Initial were re-
ported by U.N. commanders, but
Chinese Communists counterat-
tacks stalled the drive and broke
through the U.N. front at a num-
Der of points.
AS many as 200, 900 Chinese Com
munists were reported in North
Korea, ~overrunning U.N. positions
and threatening the entire army.
The Reds were swiftly exploiting
their breakthrough. They were re-
ported swarming along "every road,
gulley and ridge line" AS many as
81 divisions were reported to be in
action.
The situation in Korea was so
serious that General Macarthur
told the non-Communist powers
that they must decide quickly what
to do about the grim prospect of
IAN entirely new war" against Red
China. He went so far as to suggest
that World War III had actually
begun and could be stopped only
by a last-minute political solution.
Overnight the military situation in
Korea became desperate. Mac
Arthur said Chinese Communists
had already thrown "a major seq
ment" of their armies into Korea.
They have shown 1.-THE obvious in
tent and preparation" to reinforce
this spearhead with perhaps 300,-
900 more men now on the move in
Manchuria, he added.
Observers said that total defeat
in Korea was not unlikely If some
last minute action is not taken by
the United Nations. 1t was no secret
that military commanders wanted
the authority to bomb supply zen
tiers and concentration points in
Manchuria where the Communists
have organized for the attack.

ATOMIC POWER:
To Reveal Secrets

The announcement that the Unit
ed States, Great Britain and Canada
had agreed to release data relating
to Horsepower" nuclear re~actors
was greeted by most observers as
one of the most important decisions
in regard to the question Of atomic
secrecy to be made by the three
powers.
The agreement permits the pub
LEGATION of information necessary to
the design, construction, and opera
ton of four US. low-power reactors
as a means of stimulating atomic
energy development in the coun-
tries, particularly for peace-time
application.
The atomic energy commission
said the three governments agreed
that the release of the information
under the revised guide will speed
the training of nuclear-reactor en-
gineers and techinicians and will
hasten atomic-energy development
in these countries, particularly for
peace-time applications.
Before such a reactor can be built
by a private institution, however,
the permission Of the government to
use the necessary fashionable ma
terials is required.

SECURITY LAW:
Wheels Begin to Turn

The first step against the Com
munist party under the subversive
control act. passed by the last ses-
sion of congress, was taken when
the justice department filed a petit
ton with the subversive activities
control board to force Communists
in this country to register.
Thus the wheels of law begin to
grind under an act that has been
criticized as unavoidable.
The 1890 word petition, signed by
Attorney General j. Howard Nc
Grath, charged tn Communist
party of the United States with be-
ing run by the government of Soviet
Russia.
The Communist party refused to
register voluntarily under the inter-
nal security law and is expected to
fight the petition.
Seth Richardson, chairman of the
control board, said the hearings on
the petition might be expected to
run for months.

what ridiculous, to put it mildly.
The administration asked for ex.
tension of rent controls, statehood
for Alaska and Hawaii, increased
taxation to meet budget require
ments, and increased defense ap-
preparations.
Most observers believe the rent
control extension measure is doomed
to defeat. Republican senators said
it could wait. What the delay is for
no n knows, unless it is to tighten
the squeeze on the little man.
A bitter and possibly long fight
was indicated in both houses over
the administrations call for an ex-
cess-profits tax. Even the proposed
legislation granting statehood to
Alaska and Hawaii seemed in for a
knock down and drag out fight.
Republican leaders, buoyed by
election victories, seemed deter
mined to have a greater say in the
nations foreign policy. Many OBJ
servers believe if they could collect
Secretary of State Acheson's scalp

This wrangling of the politicians

Chinese Delegation Charges u S.
With Aggression in Korea, China;
u. N. Forces Face Defeat in Korea
UNITED NATIONS:
Is 1t War or Peace?

Fear gripped the United Nations
security council when US. dele
gate Warren R. Austin asked Red
China's delegate WI Hsiu-Chuan
Twill there be war or peace in the
Far East?"
1t was with these words that the
United States charged Red China
with aggression in Korea; 1t was
these words that created a feeling
of fear never before felt in the
United Nations. AS n diplomat
explained, it created such a great
fear that those seated in the secur
ity council were afraid to speak
lest the wrong words plunge the
world into World War III.
Communist China had been in
vited to the council to debate the
charge that the us. had committed
aggression against Formosa. In
stead the Chinese delegate charged
the security Of his country was en-
dangered by us. aggression against
Korea, and he asserted he was
alarmed by the spread toward
China Of the FLAMES" Of the us.
war of aggression" He demand
ed the withdrawal of United Ma
tons troops from Korea and a seat
in the United Nations for his coun-
try.
The American delegate charged
China with aggression after Gen.
eral Macarthur reported there
were 200. 900 Chinese Communist
soldiers in Korea and that the U.N.
forces faced an entirely new war.
Red China replied that the Chi
nese troops in Korea were volun-
teers and that Peiping will not stop
their departure for the battle front.
Austin asked the Chinese dele
gate 20 direct questions which, in
sum, boiled down to: Why had China
thrown 200, 900 troops into Korea
against United Nations forces and
what do you want? The Red dele
gate did not even answer Austin.
Observers who heard the ex-
change of charges were agreed that
the world was closer to World War
III than ever before. 1t was also
evident that China had no inten-
ton of calling off its troops in Korea
until U.N. forces had been defeated.
But more than this, the future
of Asia seemed at stake. China's
delegate charged the us. with ag-
gression in the Philippines and
other Asian countries. This would
indicate, most observers felt, that
China had mapped a program for
the domination of the Far East
comparable to that one championed
by Japan.
And as the diplomats talked and
hurled charges and countercharges,
the position of U.N. forces in Korea
became more desperate. Their de-
feat would NEAR a blow to the
United Nations from which that
world organization may eve re-
cover.
The tone of Wu's security council
speech was not new to U.N. dele
gates. 1t could have been written
by the Russians. At one point WI
threatened the countries backing
the United States not to pull the
chestnuts out of the fire for the
United States-because if you sup
port United States aggression you
must bear the consequences Of
actions"

Hiya Neighbor-Do you know
what? There are only 81 more
days til Christmas! At this point
our daughter glanced over our
shoulder and seeing what we'd
written wryly commented that
there are only 165 days til the end
of school, too). But getting back
to our original thought, most any
day now we'll expect to hear
someone say, "Oh, I've already
started my Christmas shopping"
Current magazines are announcing
that the next months issues will
feature pages of Christmas gift
suggestions and only the other
morning we saw an ad in a city
paper, complete with a jolly Santa
Claus, urging us to select Christ
mas cards early. Yessir, the
holly and tinsel season will be
here before we know it.
