Hoover Of FBI Offers
Seven Rules 10 Public
For Combating Spies
Emphasizes Desire
For Facts, but Warns
Against Idle Rumors

j. Edgar Hoover told Americans
today how, in seven ways, they
can help the FBI curb saboteurs
and other domestic enemies in
the present military emergency.
The first and most important
step: Call the FBI quickly with
any information you may have.
Mr.. Hoover emphasized that his
FBI is not interested in malicious
gossip or idle rumors, nor in what
a person thinks" But. he said,
it most specifically wants facts on
actions which undermine internal
security"
President Truman called on the
American public last Monday to
channel any information on spy
ing, sabotage or other subversive
activities to the FBI.
Special Agents Assigned.
The FBI cautioned against
private attempts to investigate
evidence of such activity.
The FBI has long had special
agents in each of it's 81 field Offices
assigned to the specific task of
sitting and relating such evidence,
with the Washington headquarters
serving as clearing house.
The Hoover statement noted
that a close system of co-opera-
ton between the Federal bureau
and law enforcement agencies
throughout the Nation is already
functioning in this field.
Offices in Phone Book.
For the general public, Mr..
Hoover made these suggestions:
81. The FBI is as near to you
as your telephone. The first page
of every telephone book in the
country lists the nearest office of
the FBI. You can communicate
with the FBI by telephone, letter
or call at your nearest Office.
%. Feel free to furnish all facts
in your possession. Many times
a small bit of information might
furnish the data we are seeking.
If you have any information of
sabotage, espionage, or subversive
activities, contact the FBI.
SO. The FBI is interested in re-

Reds Attack for Korea Knockout;

1st Cavalry Under Massed Fire
War Front News
Likely to Get
Even Worse
By John A. Giles

High defense officials still were
saying today that the news from
Korea would get worse before il
gets better" as the race to win
the conflict and arm for possible
war with Russia was stepped UP
in all quarters.
Additional troops will have to
be thrown into the war zone be-
fore real stabilization of the
lines can be expected, they said
1t began to appear that the 1st
Marine and I'd Infantry Divisions
expected to arrive in the area
next week-might not be suffi-
cient. The Reds have been able
to reinforce themselves at a fast
er and greater pace than original
ly anticipated.
Some highly-placed officials
guessed that Russia might drop
her mask and step openly into
war within three years. But they
added that if this country's final
showing in Korea was as bad
as it has been for several weeks,
the time might be shorter.
Feeling of Urgency Arises.
A feeling of urgency was be-
coming apparent at the Penta-
gon as there was talk of a $35
billion outlay for defense during
the current year-to cover the
current Korean fighting; for
building up against a mounting
menace against another, larger
war. and for economic and arms
aid to the European allies.
These steps already had been
taken:
l. The Army, slated to get
100000 draftees by October 80,
was said to have plans for at least
one more call on Selective Serv-
ice this year to boost its strength
near the ,000-man mark.
2. The Air Force is increasing
its strength from 48 groups to
So within the next IL months
BY January. 1858, it will be ex-
panded to 90 groups. Another
1851 men will be needed, but
air officials thought volunteer re-
cruiting would fill the bill.
Overseas Duty Tours Extended
3. The Army extended the tour
OF duty of all its personnel over
seas effective August 81. The
tours will be stretched another
six months with the exception of
the Far East where they may be
extended "as may be necessary"
4. President Truman signed an
executive order extending for IL
months all enlistments in the
armed services.

236,978 additional civilian en-

Anti-LeopoId Crowds
Fill Brussels Streets,
Attack Streetcars
Demonstrators Bottle
Police for 30 Minutes
Near Palace at Lueken
By the Assoeiaisd Press

BRUSSELS, Belgium, July 28.-
Mobs of anti-Leopold demonstra-
tors ragged through the streets of
Brussels today, attacking street
cars and taxis which still ran in
defiance of the general strike Or
der protesting the return of the
King. 1t was the second straight
day of violence in the capital.
By mid-afternoon the anti
Leopold action squads had man
aged to stall most of the 100
streetcars which, operated by pro-
Leopold workers, had tried to run
the gantlet.
AS police, supported in some
places by pro-Leopoldists, con-
tinued their efforts to quell the
rioters, the Belgium cabinet was
in almost continuous session
throughout the day. Baron Fran
co.'s Xavier van der Straeten-
Wallet, leader of the majority
Social Christian Party which last
week brought the exiled King back
to the throne, held three different
meetings with Premier Duvieusart
behind closed doors.
Snub to King Reported.
There were unconhrmed reports
that Max Buset, leader of the
Socialist Party which has spear
headed the campaign against the
King, had refused a summons to
see Leopold at Laeken Palace.
With some 100000 workers al
ready idle in protest against King
Leopold's return to his throne,
both the monarch's supporters
and his opponents pulled their
battle lines tighter. Tension
mounted throughout the nation.
An anti-Leopold demonstrator
died of injuries received last night
in a Commute fight between po-
lice and anti-Leopold partisans
who penetrated to within 800
yards of the Kings palace at
Laeken. The dead man repeatedly
was run down by a car he was
trying to stop.
Gendarmes Guard Cars.
The 100 streetcars which oper-
ated in defiance of the strike order
were protected by rifle-carrying
gendarmes and driven by mem
bers of pro-Leopold Catholic
union. Demonstrators attacked
some of them, smashing windows,
hurting smoke bombs and pulling
trolley-arms off the overhead
power lines.
A crowd before one open store
sang the Communist Interna-
tionale and booed members of the
staff going to work. Forcing their
way inside, the demonstrators
trampled two life-size pictures OF
the king. Rife-armed police drove
them out and drew tight Gordon
around the store.

.AII-0ut Controls
Promised Full
Consideration
Ives Calls for Study;
Sporkmon May Bock
Substitute Measure
By Cecil HoIIond

Two members of the Senate
Banking and Currency Committee
predicted today that serious con-
sideration would be given the
Baruch plan for placing the coun-
try under rationing and wage and
price controls during the Korean
emergency.
The prediction came from SEN
ators Ives. Republican, of New
York and Sparkman, Democrat, Of
Alabama. after they had attended
a closed committee meeting to
consider President Truman's bill
calling for only limited economic
controls.
They said the plans for all-out
controls advocated by Bernard M.
Baruch, elder statesman and ex-
pert on mobilization, was discussed
"only casually" by the committee
today, but they gave assurance
that it would be fully considered
before the limited control bill is
acted on by the committee.
Ives Urges Close Study.
II think it (the Baruch plan)
ought to be given very careful
and thoughtful consideration by
the committee and on the floor
of the Senate" Senator Ives COM
mented.
Senator Sparkman said he may
offer the plan as a substitute for
the administration measure. Ear
lier he had said he would like
to see prices stabilized as Of
June 25.
Chairman Maybank said any
amendments. including the Ba-
ruch proposal, probably would not
be taken up before Monday.
The committee, he added,
adopted one amendment during
the hearing today. It provides
that the ALLEGATION and priorities
powers conferred on the President
would be carried out within the
framework, as far as practicable,
OF the American system of COM
petitive enterprise"
House Committee Backs Bill.
The House Banking Committee
yesterday approved the Presidents
limited control bill by a vote of
20 to /. Before doing so, it re-
jected by a vote of 10 to 8 a sub
stitute proposal. patterned after
che Baruch plan, that would roll
prices back to their lowest level
between July "a and 28.
Six Republicans and three
Democrats of the House commit
tee supported the substitute while
nine Democrats and one Republic
can opposed it.
Representative Kunkel, Repub-
lican, of Pennsylvania, who pro-
posed the all-out substitute, an
nounced he would carry the fight
to the House floor when the bill
comes up Tuesday. One high
placed Democrat said the substi-
tute might pass the House.
Vinson Backs Baruch Plan.
The idea of all-out controls as
a safeguard against runaway in
f1ation won powerful support, in
that of Chairman Vinson
of the House Armed Services Com
mittee.
I'm for the Baruch plan," Mr..
Vinson said. otherwise there
will be imitation, absolutely out Of
control"
President Truman discussed
controls with his cabinet in its
semiweekly meeting this morn
ing. Afterward members said the
administrations position is un-
changed.
Senator Lucas of Illinois, the
Democratic leader, while not
specifically indorsing the Baruch
plan, had this comment:
Il don't like the piecemeal ap-
proach to economic curbs. The
people don't like runaway prices
and would like to take the profits
out of war"

The heaviest blows were dealt

must have decision quickly"
This spokesman said the Red
supply problem had reached a
point where the invaders were un-
able to continue war of attri-
tion. He called the next few days
extremely important" from the
Communist point of view.
In Washington an Army
spokesman said the Communists
now are in position where
they want to make a big effort
as long as they have anything
left" and are probably throwing
their full strength along the line
and at the front" This would
be aimed at seeking decision
