Stable Front First Requisite
For Korean Peace Effort

cifically for Kremlin eyes, he salt
simply that the men who have
| the power to unleash Aggression
should realize that by continued
recourse to such action they would
wear the fabric of world peace to
the breaking point.
Authorities here say the So
viets may take one of three
courses of action when the North
Koreans start losing:
l. Emerge in the role of peace
maker by telling the North Ko-
reans to give up lost cause be-
fore they are compelled to do so.
2. Send in troops to aid North
Korea, thereby assuring a direct
clash between American and Rus
3. Start trouble in some other
place to divide United Nations
anti-aggression forces.

Masked Men Rob Priests
OF $4,000 Fair Receipfs
BY the Associated Press

CLEVELAND. July 24.-Twc
men with silk-stocking masks
broke into a Roman Catholic par
ish house today and robbed three
priests of $4,000. One priest was
slugged.
The money came from a fiye- day
parish aid carnival and yesterdays
collection at the Immaculate Heart
Iof Mary Church in southeast
Cleveland.
The hold-up men cut phone
lines before jimmying a kitchen
window of the parish house. They
worked with flashlights in the
darkened house and fled before
dawn, leaving the three priests
bound.
Msgr. John Mlotkowski, church
pastor. was nervous about opening
the safe and was slugged on the
back of the head with a revolver.
He was not injured seriously. He
gave the robbers $1,000 he had in a
canvas bag and also the money In
the safe.
The two other priests were the
Rev. Casimir Sitko and the Rev
Wacklaw Krauze, parish assistant
recently arrived from Poland.

South Korea Officer
Says Reds Are Using
Children in Combat
BY the Assoeiafed Press

| UNITED STATES 9th ARMY
HEADQUARTERS, Korea, July "a.
A South Korean Army officer
said today the Northern invaders
were draining practically all avail
able manpower-including school
Ichildren-to throw into the war.
"They are putting every one
they can INTO the army and
they've about exhausted their
manpower, said Col. Lee Sun
Keun, former dean of the Seoul
University Law School.
His report to a news conference
was supported by Capt. Kenneth
r. Cornell of Brewster, N. Y,
American adviser to the republic
of Korea.
Col. Lee said children as young
as 13 years of age were summoned
in Seoul and then impressed into
Student Volunteer Corps" and
used in combat zones.
Col. Lee also said that North
Koreans are unaware they are
fighting American troops.
They believe the U. N. force is
a guerrilla force and they
have only a week or two to fight
and it will be all over"
The invaders literally force their
soldiers ito fight for their food"
Col. Lee said. Unless they advance
they are denied rations.
Col. Lee said the Korean Com
munists' morale is shaky, but the
fighting spirit of the South Koreans
is mounting.
Reports of Communist atrocities
in Seoul have Stiffened Southern
resistance. Col. Lee said refugees
report families of South Korean
police officials, Army officers and
political leaders are being rounded
up and shot.

Second Landing Reported
In indonesian Battle

JAKARTA, Indonesia, July "a
Radio Amboina said today Federal
troops made a second landing on
Ceram Island near the town of
Amalei last night and engaged
forces of the rebel South Moluc-
can republic. A previous landing
on Ceram was made Friday.
Official sources in Jakarta re-
fused to comment on the report.
Contrary to government claims
that Boeroeh Island is entirely oc-
|cupied by federal troops, Amboina
radio said fighting in this part of
the rebel republic is still in prog
ress with AmboineSe taking "a
heavy toll from the invaders"
The actions are part of an at

government to quell a three
month-old rebellion on Amboina

FIRINGS - Chairman Harry B.
Mitchell of the Civil Service Com
mission has written a letter to all
Federal agencies asking them to
quit relying on efficiency ratings
to fire incompetent and other un-
desirable workers.
Mr.. Mitchell declared that using
an unsatisfactory" rating to get
rid of an employe is not effective
because it bogs down in endless
red tape, delay and appeals, with
the result that many incompetent
workers never are fired.
The commission chief urged the
agencies to fire directly, with the
supervisors having the authority
to get rid of incompetent workers,
after written charges are handed
to the employees. Only one appeal
to a higher-up in the agency was
suggested by Mr.. Mitchell. Vet

Prospects for some new diplo.
matte negotiation to end the
Korean war appear now to hinge
on the outcome of the American
Army effort to stabilize the
front.
The critical point at which
Russia's real intentions toward
the Korean fighting will be dis
closed, American officials believe,
will come when and if the Red
advance is brought to a standstill.
Russia must then realize, they
say. that without powerful out
side assistance the Korean COM
muniSts will be unable to hold
their gains.
At that time, according to this
line Of reasoning. the world will
probably find out quickly whether
there is to be a return of peace
in Korea or whether the danger
OF great war will increase.
Two Major Developments.
Since the middle of last week
two things have happened. One
was President Truman's message
to Congress, calling for a SO
billion down payment on an ex-
panded military program and
warning Russia that a series of
limited aggressions of the Korea
type might well bring on World
War III.
The other development was the
failure of Indian Prime Minister
Nehru'S effort to create condi-
tions for a negotiated settlement.
These two developments to-
gether are taken here as having
demonstrated to the Kremlin this
country's intention of standing
absolutely firm.
In addition, diplomatic officials
now believe Mr.. Trumans message
may have scored another point
with the Kremlin: that is, that
the United States will not permit
itself to be involved endlessly in
series of little wars.
Not Said in So Many Words.
Mr.. Truman did not say that.

it was learned. was penned spe-

If you own stocks

You have probably been concerned about them since
the Korean war touched off decline in the market
four weeks ago.
You've had reason to worry. After all, you've got
money at stake your savings
For our part, we wish we could tell you that the
market was bound to 60 up tomorrow, next week,
next month. But can't honestly do that. We don't
know Nobody does.
So don't put us down as either bullsh or bearish
about the market outlook.
But you put us down as definitely bullsh about
one thing-the solid investment value of owning good
common stocks over the long pull
That's position wholly Defend and at
time like this it's worth taking look the record.
Historically the trend of stock prices in this country
has been steadily up. True there have been some big
irregularities in that trend line for instance, the
atme peak of 1929 and the depression low of 1882.
But despite such peaks and valleys the general prop
osition stands: Stock prices may go down and stay
down for long time three years. five years, ten
but they have always back, always moved on to
higher ground.
The record also shows that many stocks have paid
liberal dividends averaging 49, 59o, go, year after
year.
But" you say, "we're at war now. That changes
the whole investment picture"
We can't agree
Let's assume the worst Let's assume that regardless
of what happens in Korea we're going be living in
wartime economy for many months years come
Let's assume, the basis of the Presidents speech
Wednesday, that will have to deal with priori-
ties and rationing, price and wage CONTROLS excess
profits taxes.
Admittedly, those controls present serious problems
to industry.
But what happened to stocks-and to stockholders
when we had to do business in that kind of regu-
lated economy just few years ago?
Some companies were able to adjust themselves to
the situation better than Others and stockholders
consequently Jared better than others. But on the
average, the effect stocks so drastic Memory
is always Short and here it is worth taking closer
look at the record specifically the average price
and dividend figures 200 common stocks as reported
