said it signaled the Hast gasp" at- tempt to drive the U. N. forces out of all Korea.
 The Reds hit the middle of the Allied line by taking Uihong, p miles mort hof Taegu. The main U. N. forward base, from South Korean forces. Red infiltrators, repeating deadly tactics they had used to good advantage all through this two-month-old war, weer seen behind South Korean lines north of Taegu.
 The Reds drove to within 214 miles of Pohang port, which the Allied only recently rewon. They inched ahead despite severe pasting from Allied warships off the east coast and from U. s. war planes, U. s. officers said they though the airstrip, six miles southeast of Pohang, would be held.
 B-2s's took off again on their punishing offensive into North Korea dropping 300 tons of bombs today on songjin, 1so miles north of the 3Sth parallel. Other wafplanes all around the front lashed heavily at enemy troops.
 It. Gen. Walton H. Walker, U. s. Eighth Army commander, told Americans and South Koreans: "It is my belief the over-extended enemy is making his last gasp"
 All around the l2O-mile defense perimeter some 64,OOO communist troops lunged at American and South Korean lines. But spokes- man at Gen. MacArthur's head quarters said despite the appar- ent desperation of the northern drives, the real big Red push was not yet under way. The key to it, the office rsaid, is the Red End Di- vision, which is reported refitting somewhere around Kumc h n northwest of Taegu.
 The Second Division is within a days march of either the Taegu or the northeast front. When it gets into action, the spokesman said, the big Red push will be un- derway against Taegu, the U. N. forward base, and Pusan, the main Allied supply base on the southeast coast.
 On the southern front, the Reds hit American lines near Hwman, about 35 miles west of Pusan. U. S. planes battered at a column of 30 vehicles and artillery pieces there and an American artillery barrage blasted it.
 A naval operations summary re- ported carrier pilots destroyed Il new Russian-type Yak fighter planes at Yonpo on the North Ko- rean east coast.

WE NEED MARKS AIR FORCE BASE

(AIaSka WeekIy)
 Orders to deactivate Marks Air Force Base at Nome should be rescnded at Aboshng this field in the so-caled interest of economy unjustifiabe from the beginning and in the light of the present situation is little short of criminal. It has been argued that the Marks base was small and relatively rniportant in connection with any large scale military operation We have yet to hear anyone maintain that it could not be built up into base of ade quae size and certainly have not heard that the Sov jet is abandoning any of it's air bases the Siberian coast which are but minutes away from Nome.
 Alaskans are not regarding the war situation with any degree of hysera but neither do they inform ed persons elsewhere discount the possibility of event ua attack This base is the only military establishment on the Arctic coast and therefore has significance aside from the strictly military value.
 Instead of it's being abandoned it should be expanded in keeping with it's importance from strategic stand point.

 gressive act by giving naval pro lection to Formosa,, Nationalist Chinese island marked for ''liber- ation" by the communists. The communists directed their charge to the U. N. Security Council. The United States said it would not object to putting Formosa on the Councils agenda for discussion next week but will protest if any attempt is made to put it ahead of an American resolution aimed at localizing the Korean war.
 If the communist Chinese forces in Manchuria move southward to aid the North Koreans, it would mean sharp revision of fighting plans for United Nations forces now holding the North Korean bridgehead.
 Along the east coast the South Korean divisions opened the sec ond day of a coordinated assault north of Pohang. The Third Divi- sion pushed the invaders back if, the Hungae sector, five miles north of Pohang, while to the west another division was fighting to regain two miles lost to a com munist attack Friday.
 On the south coast, weary GI's who have been under fire for nearly a week held doggedly to Mount Sobuk, west of Masan. The lofty position dominates a whole valley through which the Reds are attempting to pour toward Masan, chief artery point for Pusan port. A company of Doughboys blocked 1000 Reds attempting to get through the valley in a wild hand grenade and small arms battle and forced them to retreat.
 In the Kumhwa battle, Allied forces knocked out 30 Red tanks. They piled up huge Red casualties with an intensive artillery barrage supported by effective air power. Field officers said the three North Korean divisions were so badly mangled their fighting strength was "cut in half" The retreating Red divisions were the 18th, 18th and 3rd.
 At Pearl Harbor, Adm. Arthur w. Radford, Pacific Fleet com mander said after returning from Korea that "the low point has been passed"
 It was one of the biggest days of the war for airmen. They re- ported flying 600 missions of all types-a new record and claimed a bag of 15 tanks. Six tanks were caught at the comnrunist capital of Pyongyang. American Super forts poured 600 tons of bombs on four industrial plants in North Korea.

Truman Cracks Down Hard On Gen. MacArthur
Continued from Page One)

NV44kAAOC0 4AV44A 0BS O4CI another in the long series of ef- forts to keep the truth from the American people," Just how Macarthur himself felt about it was not known here, but Ross said there was no thought of relieving the general as the oc- cupation commander in Japan. Macarthur also commands the United Nations forces in Korea. The whole thing developed in this manner:
 Last week, MacArthur sent a long statement to the VFW in which he said "We may have peace" by holding Pacific island defense line - including Formosa but Hose it and war is inevita- ble."
 He said also that President Tru- mans June 27 order for the Amer ican Seventh Fleet to prevent the Chinese communists from invad- ing Formosa, the last stronghold of the Chinese Nationalist forces did this:
 Swept aside in one great mon umental stroke all of the hypoc- risy and the sophistry which has confused and deluded so many people distant from the actual scene"
 The statement was to be read to the VFW's encampment at today's session.
 But yesterday, Macarthur sent the VFW a message withdrawing the statement. He said he regret ted to inform the Veterans group that he had been "directed' to withdraw it.
 Since President Truman alone could have given Macarthur such orders, it was pretty plain all along that the directive had come from the White House.
 Ross confirmed that today.
 If the hope was to keep Mac Arthur's statement from becoming public Knowledge it was a lost hope.
 The text of the statement had already been distributed widely to newspapers and magazines.
 One magazine-the U. s. News and World Report-had already sent to the presses an issue con- taining the text. The magazine said it had received permission from the VFW to go ahead with this procedure.
 Under the circumstances, great many newspapers published the text today.
 One was the Chicago Tribune which said 1t had tWlce telephOned MacArthur's headquarters in Tok- yo before reaching it's decision to print it.
 In the first call, the newspaper said, it informed MacArthur's spokesman that the U. S. News and World Report had printed the text in its issue placed in the mails Saturday. It was due to go on sale at newsstands tomorrow.
 The spokesman asked that the Tribune call again later.
 On the second call, the Tribune related, the spokesman said he was in no position to comment on publication but added: "When a story has been published and cir

UNIFORM
CONTROLS
ARE Seen
Senate Gives President ST.
muIfdneous Across Board
Wage-Priee Powers

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22- tR -
Overwhelming Senate approval OF
a home front mobilization bill vir-
tually assured President Truman to-
day the power to invoke wage-price-
rationing controls and otherwise
gear the nation to wartime foot
ing.
The Senate passed the emergency
measure last night by whopping
IS to vote. 1t did SO after writing
in some restrictions on the Presi-
dents authority which administra-
ton forces battled against in vain.
The Senate bill and an economic
controls measure which the House
approved on Aug. 10 are vastly dif-
ferent in some essential details, but
both authorize Mr.. Truman to i'm
pose wage price curbs and other
initiation controls.
So the bill which finally goes to
the White House-after Senate
House conference committee irons
out differences between the two
versions-certainly will carry wages
price-rationing authority.
Overriding vigorous administra-
ton opposition, the Senate voted
so to SO to require the President
to invoke wage and price controls
simultaneously and virtually across
the board if he imposed them
at all. The amendment was sponsor
ed by Republican Senators Bricker
(Ohio) and Wherry (Neb).
That directive killed section OF
the administration bill which would
have let Mr.. Truman put wage and
price controls into effect on sell
ective basis if he cared to, in adj
vance of any overall program.
The House bill permits selective
controls.

TOTAL DRAFT
DEMANDED BY
SENATE GROUP
Majority, Armed Services
Committee, Press for
UNIT Passage Now

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22- R -
Nine Senators who form more than
a majority of the Armed Services
committee demanded today that
Congress stay in session until it
approves universal military training
legislation.
The Senators said one by one in
brief statements that the safety of
the nation can be secured only If
young men are trained in mass to
bear arms.
Their statements came as Secre-
tary of Defense johnson told the
committee that western Europe
lacks sufficient military strength to
slow down an aggressor until Ameri-
can help arrives.
He said the United States doesn't
now have enough trained men to
meet the threat of total war with
in the time limits which present con-
ditions impose"
Gen. Omar N. Bradley. Chairman
of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, also
testified that universal military
training lis the only satisfactory
long range answer to the need for a
reservoir of trained men to meet the
many years of tension in interna-
tional affairs" he said probably lies
ahead after the Korean situation is
settled.

May BE OUT FROM
RAILROAD STRIKE

WASHINGTON lR More rail-
way workers struck today, ignoring
White House plea to stay on the
job.
The new strikes are in Pittsburgh
and Chicago.
Like those called yesterday in
Louisville. Cleveland and Minneap-
oils, ST. Paul, these are 5-day token
strikes. The idea is to call attention
to a wage-hour dispute that has
dragged on for II months.
All the strikes are comparatively
small. but they are in such key
points that union leaders have es--
timated they will put $4,000 men
out of work.
An attempt to settle the dispute
last night dragged on until after
midnight-but got nowhere.
Nevertheless. President Humans
top labor negotiator, John R. Steel
man, said he would call the unions
and railroads together again today
for further talks.
There still was no indication that
Mr.. Truman planned to seize the
roads.
Steelman said he had specifically
requested the unions to call Oft
their strikes, but that they had re-
