Pvt. Robey Missing in Korea;

Second Such Report on Young D. c. Soldier;
Sergt w. }. Sbey Also Reported Missing

Pfc. Robert v. Robey, 81, the
fighting Washington GI, who re-
fused an Army discharge so he
could stay in Korea to battle the
Reds, is missing in action.
1t is the second time he has
been so reported in the Korean
war. The first report, however,
came from North Korean Com
munistS, who broadcast they had
captured him. 1t later turned
that his unit merely had been
cut off. He returned safely to
the American lines.
The story was different today.
Pfc. Robey's name turned up in
"a Defense Department casualty
list as missing"
Another District soldier also was
reported missing in Korea today
He is Sergt. Willard j. Sibley, son
of Mrs. Ethel E. Sibley. 500 Third

Pfc. Robey first broke into the
news July 3 when an Associated
Press dispatch from Korea report

sergeant that he would be subject

weighs slightly more than eight
pounds.
The Warhead has a powerful
shaped charge" explosive which
enables the round to penetrate
any armored vehicle presently
known" It also is more accurate
and faster in flight than the old
bazooka.
The new weapon weighs only a
few pounds more than it's prede-
cessor. 1t also has new legs to
stabilize it when fired from a
prone position.
The gunner uses a rejecting
sight which enables him to keep
focused on targets moving up
to 40 miles an hour.

used for the first time the new
3.5-inch rocket launchers which
they said knocked out eight of
the first 10 Red tanks. The Air
Force claimed to have destroyed
five additional tanks in the battle
area.
The GIs fought furiously-both
on the ground and in the air
to hold Taejon. Strafing planes
smashed at Red artillery positions
which tried to close in behind the
Americans and cut off their re-
treat with artillery fire. A loco
motive crew trying to take a late
haul of supplies from Taejon was
ambuShed en- route to the station.
Fight Appalling Odds.
An Army spokesman said last
night that about half the Ameri-

Foes Refuse to Vote
And March to Palace
As Tribute to Regent
BY the Assoeioted Press

BRUSSELS. July 20. King
Leopold III was voted back to his
throne by the Belgian Parliament
today.
He has been in exile in Switzer-
land since the war. The question
OF bringing him back split Bel
gium badly for months, with the
Socialists in particular bitterly op-
posing his return.
A joint session of both houses
OF Parliament cast 1913 affirmative
votes for Leopold's return, with
most opposition Socialists. Liber-
ais and Communists abstaining in
protest. There are 387 members
in both houses.
The decision was on legislation
to end the regency of Prince
Charles, Leopold's brother.
Opposed on Two Counts,
The opposition to Leopold was
based in the main on two factors:
l. His early surrender to the
Germans in 1910.
2. His marriage in 1945 to a
Flemish commoner after the
death of his queen.
The abstainers marched from
the chamber before the vote, leav-
ing the pro-king Social Christians
to vote Leopold's return. Paul
Henri Spaak, Socialist leader and
former premier, declared the So
cial Christians in so doing had
accomplished "one of the gravest
and most disastrous acts of our
history"
Outside the chamber, the oppo-
sition Parliament members pa
raded to the royal palace to pay
one final tribute to Prince Charles.
Supporters Would Have Won.
Even with all members voting,
the Social Christians would have
had sufficient strength to carry
the day. The final ballot came
after eight stormy days of speech
making which elimaxed a year of
political lmaneuvering, a plebicite
an election, strikes and strife.

All Major Oil Firms
Boost Gas Prices Here

All major oil companies today
followed ESso-Standard's lead and
increased the wholesale price of
gasoline 4/10ths of a cent a gallon
in Metropolitan Washington.
The rise is expected to be felt
Immediately, although the retail
increase is matter entirely up
to the individual dealer and sta
ton owner.
r. A. Herrick, executive director
Of the Retail Gasoline Dealers
Association, said the motorist
probably would start absorbing
the rise today or tomorrow.
Among the oil companies an
nouncing the new price today
were: Shell, Gulf, Texas, Ameri-
can, Sun, Sinclair and Cities
Service.
Esso-Standard's New York Of
flee started the ball rolling with
an announcement Tuesday that
the price would go up from 2/10
TO $40 of a cent a gallon all over
the country. AS usual, the other
companies followed suit in about
48 hours.
Blame for the rise was laid by
ESQ to the high consumer de-
mand and decline in total pro-
ouction caused by improvement
OF the quality Of the product.

other firms refused to give any
reasons.

Set for Emergency
BY the Assoeioted Press

A complete blueprint for Fed
eral regulation of United States
transportation in event of need is
on file with the National Security
Resources Board.
Col. J. Monroe Johnson, chair
man of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, told reporters today
he submitted such plan to NSRB
nearly year ago. He said it could
be put into effect quickly if the
war situation should require it.
Mr.. Johnson, World War II di.
rector of the Office of Defense
Transportation, said that in view
OF this he has made no recent
recommendations relating to the
transportation picture in the light
OF the Korean conflict.
Mr.. johnson refused to discuss
details of the plan. He said it con-
templated an organization similar
to ODT,' which set up shipping
priorities and generally managed
the movement of freight equip
ment during the last war.

Truman Asks Liftinq
OF Limit on Number
Of Top U. 5. Jobs
Wunts to Hire More Z.
Than 400 at Rotes
OF $1,000 TO $4,000

President Truman has asked
Congress to lift the present re-
striction on the number of top
classified $1,000 to $4,000 a year
civil service jobs in Government.
The administrations Defense
Production Act of 1850 introduced
in Congress yesterday calls for
the elimination of the ban on
filling more than 400 of these Jobs.
When Congress last year en-
acted the Pay Redistribution Act
OF 1949, it authorized the ap-
pointing of 400 Federal officials
in the new grades of GS-16, II
and 18. paying salaries ranging
from $1,000 to $4,000 annually.
The administration had unsuc-
cessfully sought unlimited author
lty IN filling these jobs at it's
discretion.
| Now, in light of the Korean
war, administration officials saw
it probably will be necessary to
secure the services of other top
night men in various Government
ofhces. That's why the lifting of
the ban on the number of these
jobs is again being sought, they
say.
The officials had no specific
estimate on how many additional
top jobs would be filled If the
ban were lifted by Congress, but
they said it might mean another
so to 100 appointments in the
near future.
Another provision of the De-
fense Production Act of 1850
would eliminate the present law
which requires the Buget Bureau
to set quarterly personnel CELL
ingS fol- Federal agencies. The
administration feels that the Gov
ernment's hiring program during
the months ahead would be ham,
pered by the present regulations.
