Truman Explains ITO Macarthur
 About U. s. Policy

WASHINGTON, P)-President Truman yesterday sent Gen. Douglas Macarthur statement of American policy on Formosa, and also a commendation of the gen. erals direction of the Korean campaign.
 MT. Truman's move, following up his weekend order for Mac Arthur to withdraw a statement on Formosa, appeared to have a two-fold purpose although there was no official comment.
 1. To clarify MacArthur's own understanding of the whole situa- tion and give him an implied re- hinder not to get out of step again.
 2. To ease the sting of the inci- dent to the General and also help maintain MacArthur's prestige in the Far East.
 Presidential secretary Charles G. Ross gave out MT. Truman's message without comment and re- fused to answer questions as to why MT. Truman sent it.
 The text of MT. Truman's let ter:
 "I am sending for your informa- tion the text of a letter which I sent to Ambassador Austin dated August 27. I am sure that when you examine this letter, and the letter which Ambassador Austin addressed to Trygve Lie on Aug ust 25 Ca copy of which I am told was sent your headquarters that

Harry Bridges Union Expelled From C. |. o.

WASHINGTON, R)-The CIO executive board yesterday expell- ed the last two of II unions il marked for purge a year ago on charges of hewing to the commun- ist party line.
 They were the West Coast Long shoremen's and Warehousemen's s Union, headed by Harry Bridges, and the Marine Cooks and Stew ards, headed by Hugh Bryson.
 Bridges union was kicked out first by Al to 2 vote. The dissent ing votes came from J. w. Robert son, vice president of Bridges Union, and Bryson.
 Next Bryson's union was oust- ed, Al to 1, with Bryson casting the only opposition vote.
 Bridges and Bryson could ap- peal the executive board action to the CIO convention in Chicago Nov. 20, but it is highly unlikely that the convention would upset the boards move.
 The convention last year au- thorized the removal of all leaders and unions found to be following communist policy.
 Included in the custer of the 75,O0O longshoremen was the re- moval of the Fishermen and AL lied Workers, headed by Joseph Jurich, of Seattle, which had merged two months ago with the Bridges union.

Korean Situation At A Glance -.
Tuesday. August 29. 1850 (By The Associated PreSs)


 Blazing battles erupted today at both ends ofthe curling 120-mile battle perimeter in South Korea. United Nations forces beat back heavy Red attacks on both ends of the line, but the communists were reported building for a giant offensive-their supreme bid to drive the U. N. forces into the sea.
 On the east coast anchor of the flaming 45-mile northern front, Red forces knifed three miles southwest of United Nations lines and set up a threatening road block on the vital highway con- meeting the port of Pohang with Yongchon. But the Pohang sector still was controlled by American and South Korean troops, who have pushed back elements of the 10000 attacking Reds in the Kigye sector, nine miles to the north west of the port, and have retaken Kigye.
 While the communists exerted heavy pressure all along the northern front, the southern front famed with furious action. American Negro infantrymen and South Korean troops turned back a North Korean bayonet charge in hand -to-hand combat. Red bayo- nets wiped out one American ma chine gun nest.
 The battalion of Reds assaulted Bald Sobuk hill west of Masan. After two unsuccessful attack, the Reds surprised the American troops and a wild battle ensued- so close that U. S. supporting weapons. could not be used for fear of hitting Allied troops. A portion of the defending force was cut off for four hours, but re- Inducements got through and at noon Tuesday the mountain top remained in Allied hands.
 On the central sector of the 45- mile northern front, elements of the 10000 Reds on the attack in the Uihong area rolled back South Korean Six Division troops four miles to a point 18 miles north of Taegu, the main Allied forward base.
 Indications pointed to an inn minent grand-scale Red offensive at all points around the 120-mile defense perimeter, with possibly the entire North Korean army committed at the same time, in a supreme bid to crack through to Pusan, the Allied supply base at Esmtinaasd on Page Twd

The Changing South-No.
IVA Enriches Mode of Livinq
In Once Poor Tennessee Valley

iva with its water control pro-
gram along $40 miles of river has
proved invaluable.
At Chattanooga, where the river
bends and where in food times
the waters once piled up with dis
astrous results, iva Director
James P. Pope estimates the saw
kings at $43 million since 1888.
And" said Mr.. Pope, there
were similar savings along the
whole river.
And, Mr.. Pope points out, this
flood control has gone hand in
hand with control of the malaria
bearing mosquito. Where once an
estimated 80 per cent Of the pop
ulation was afflicted with ma
laria's general malaiSe, the figure
now is less than one-tenth Of /
per cent.
New Commerce Created.
This backing up of waters be-
hind nine great dams on the Ten
nessee has made the whole in
terror of the South one great
inland port. Barges ply the wa
ters deep loaded with cargoes from
and to Pittsburgh, Minneapolis,
Houston, Mobile, st. Paul, Chi
cago, New Orleans. st. Louis and
Cincinnati.
MIR. Pope estimates that ship
pers on the river now are saving
about 81 million annually in ship
ping costs for the 500 million ton
miles now traveled-an increase
of 800 per cent over 1887.
When iva first started back in
the depression years only 8 per
cent of the farms in the valley
and the uplands were electrified.
Now the figure is 40 per cent-or
around 800, 900 farmers.
With the influx of industry the
improvement and diversification
Of farms, the purchasing power
of the people has climbed ire
mendously.
In 1948 alone the people in the
seven valley States bought more
than $50 million worth of elec-
trical appliances.
Worn out land has been en-
riched by 3 million tons of iva

not including the commercial

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, June IT.
AS a youngster, it was a rare
summer that I wasn't in some part
of the Tennessee River Valley,
mostly around Decatur and
Athens, Ala.
I can remember seeing a wealth
erworn farmer becoming nause-
ated and shaking with malarial
chill on the courthouse lawn at
Athens.
My fathers pencnant for ex-
ploring back roads took me over
miles and miles of road lined with
broad cotton fields-and shacks.
Mostly, though, I remember the
kids. just couldn't believe one
who told me he had never seen a
picture show. And I remember
the snarling answer I got from
another when I asked if it was
fun to pick cotton. I asked for
could see no other reason for a
kid to pick cotton.
Recalls Turnip- Top Meal.
There was a time, too, when I
sneaked off to lunch with for
hidden friend who lived in the
slum area back of the old Decatur
jail. I remember the meal was
turnip greens. corn bread and
water.
And once driving to Nashville
during the depths of the depres-
sion I remember seeing children
going home from school. It was
winter and there wasn't a warm
coat In the lot.
My. remark to my father was,
"They don't look happy" His an
swer was my first inkling that all
was not right in the South.
Children Look Happier.
I have just driven through much
OF the Tennessee Valley. It is a
changed, green valley. My major
impression and the one that
counts most with me: THE chill
dren look happier and they stand
straighter."
Behind this new look on the
land lies the mighty IVA, hum
ming with the vigor of II billion
kilowatts Of electric power an
nually.
In the land where play was
something only for the relatively
rich, some million people now
find recreation annually and an
other 2 million come to look at
the great dams.
On the % great lakes ply some
10000 pleasure craft. The IVA
estimates that more than $3.50
million annually is spent in the
valley by tourists.
But there's more to IVA than
that: In the uplands of the Cum
berland and Great Smoky Noun
tains, the electric washing ma
chine has become a symbol of
prosperity.
Indoor Plumbing Arrives.
Down on the once eroded, dusty
datlands, the story is told in roll
ing green fields, indoor plumbing
factories. barges, tractors and
dynamoS.
Into the 122 valley counties
spread through seven States have
poured more than 5000 new en-
terprises since 1892. The hills
are nearing a new dress of green.
Just last summer the IVA cele-
brated the planting of its 200
millionth seeding from it's own
and State-owned nurseries on
250,000 acres of burned over and
abandoned lands on on farms.
About 10000 farms in the val
ley are being rebuilt as test DEM

NUISANCE POLITICS

NUISANCE POLITICS
THERE is sue a thing as nuisance politics. This
occurs when candidates throw their hats in the ring with no
purpose whatever of winning the election, but Of obstructing
the picture, and splitting some other candidate. No one can
say definitely that this is the case here because such things
are difficult to prove, but from all the indications such is the
case. Certainly many a candidate knows deep down in his
heart that his chances for election are mighty slim; that in the
great scuffe much talk will be lost, and that the voters are
likely to disregard and dismiss much of what is said and done.
What, then, is the reason for SO many hats in the ring?
THE LOCALSCENE is cluttered with those who would
love to pull the strings from a safe distance, and this can be
done by putting up a candidate whose loyalty to a few is I'M
questioned. But there is also another technique used. This
technique is not necessarily brilliant, nor is there anything
commendable about it. Once put into use it becomes gIaring-
y obvious. The technique is to put up one or any number of
candidates whose principal job is to oppose some given can
didate personally. This type OF opposition is entirely without
merit. 1t is not done because those who back up the opposi-
ton candidates believe that the man opposed is not doing a
good job, no. Often sinister reasons are underneath it ALL And
equally as often the matter is purely personal.
INPUTTINC in a number Of purely opposition candi-
dates the hope is that the vote will be split in many directions
and the objective accomplished. What distubs us is that this
method is employed with no idea whatever of the voters or
the welfare Of the community. It is for this reason that atten-
ton should be called to il, and the voters warned to hold their
own and vote as they see fit.
AVIS has always eontended that local politics is
serious business; that campaigns should be conducted in an
atmosphere Of sincerity and understanding, and that those
who enter the fight should do 50 only because they believe
that they have something to contribute. But above all this, no
candidate should allow himself to become a pawn ii the
hands Of Others. Those who sponsor Of put him up should ac-
tuauy believe that he is good legislative material and not that
he IS good enough only to serv the dubious role Of an obstruc,
zionist. No candidate should allow himself to be used.
