Bolivia Offers 10 Send
80 Officers TO Korea
By the Assoeiated Press


LAKE SUCCESS, July 22.-Bo-
livia has offered 80 regular army
officers for service with Gen. Mac
Arthur's forces in Korea, the
United Nations disclosed last night.
1t was the first published offer
of its kind from any of the So U. N
members who were asked by Mr.
Lie last week to help the U. N
war effort.
Eduardo Anze Matienzo, perma-
nent Bolivian delegate, sent the
offer to Secretary General Trygve
Lie who made it public several
hours after he told reporters of
official offers of planes, ships and
hospital supplies in response to his
appeal.
In making the offer, Anze
Matienzo, said Bolivia was willing
to cooperate within the limits of
its resources by furnishing any
elements the unified command of
the United Nations may request. /"
Later, Anze Matienzo explained
that by elements he means mat
ural resources" of Bolivia, includ-
ing such products as tin and
tungsten.
Mr.. Lie told a news conference
during the day he knew of no
offer of combat troops, but said
several countries are negotiating
aid directly with Washington.

BERLIN. July 22.-East Ger

to Join a national front" to drive

the appeal during flaming anti

Representatives of the Comm

trust of international communism
sat on the platform as Grote-
wohl appealed to Germany's Hit
Elerlte remnants to unite with the
Communists. The Communists al
ways have claimed to be the most
bitter enemies of faScism.
"Our national 'front.'" Grotewohl
declared, ''is not limited to demo-
cratic (Communist) elements. We
want everybody, including the for

character"
Grotewohl also called on the

This Changing World
Macarthur Prestige Keeps Jap Order;
Only One American Division in Area

Japan will have to be held
against possible troublemakerS-
both in and out of the country
with one American division, rein
forced in the near future by the
Japanese themselves. The ques-
ton of possible Russian aggres-
sion against some parts of the
Japanese homeland. such as the
Northern island of Hokkaido. is
paramount in the minds of many
military leaders.
Chance Had to Be Taken.
However, a chance had to be
taken to prevent the rout Of the
small forces we sent to Korea and
this move has paid dividends. The
Japanese today even more than in
the past are on our side. They
are willing and anxious to accept
the means to defend their own
country against any aggressor.
These facts are brought forth
by some military observers be-
cause of the trend in some Sin
spired" quarters to depict Gen.
Macarthur as too old and too sure
of himself to cope with the present
situation.
Within a few days after Ameri-
can troops clashed with the Reds
and were driven back by the enc
my's overwhelming superiority.
stories were being circulated that
President Truman had been mis-
led by Gen. MacArthur's optimism
when he ordered the present "po-
lice action" in Korea.
It was further reported from
the Washington "underground"
that our troops in Japan had not
been given battle training; that
commanding officers were soft and
intent on living a pleasant life,
with servants on every hand. 1t
was said that occasionally they
enjoyed the soft musical per-
formances of the geishas, leaving
their men to their own devices.
Anytime. it was said. that an Of
ficer with pull in the Pentagon
wanted a soft billet he had him
self sent to Japan, where life was
agreeable and military duties were
not arduouS.
The fact is that only really good
fighting men were kept in Mac
Arthur's command. AS far as is
known no other commanding gen.
eral-since Gen. Eichelberger led
his troops in New Guinea with a
tommygun under his arm-has
perofmed the duties of a private
first class as Maj. Gen. William
F. Dean performed them in per-
sonally knocking out a Red tank.
The amazing performance of
the men of the Gath Division in
the face of onrushing Korean
hordes can hardly justify the
criticism that the GIs in Japan
had not been put through COM
|plete training. Young officers re-
Gently out of the military academy
have written to their relatives
that ''the work and discipline
here are tougher than at the
Point-and that Is something"

Seventy-six year old sourdough
Dan Gillis is recovering from a

low branch and a pocket knife.
But you ought to see the bear, "
he commented good-naturedly to-
day.
Mr.. Gillis is nursing bites and
scratches and a laceration in, one
arm where the bruins teeth cut
completely through.
Mr.. Gillis said he was walking
along a trail near his cabin at
Dome Creek, about 20 miles north
west of here, swinging a willow
branch to brush away the mos
quitoes.

around to see a big black bear

called.
Mr.. Gillis said he brandished
the willow branch. which was the
wrong thing to do. The bear
charged, knocking the old man
down. By some fluke, the latter
fell toward the animal, he said
pushing the bear off balance.
THAT gave me time to pull out
out my pocket knife"
While the bear was clawing at
him, Gillis said he closed in and
let the bruin have a few slashes
over the heart. The bear lurched
back and Mr.. Gillis ran for the

Standards Bureau Gets
Arctic Research RIGHTS
By the Associoted Pres,

President Truman signed yes
terday an act that gives United

and other experiments in the
Arctic.
The authority goes to the Bu-
reau of Standards of the Com
merce Department. which has
been conducting Arctic tests Of
radio. radar and other electronics
equipment vital to defense and
commercial operations.
Previously this special authority
has been contained in annual ap-
preparation bills. Congress was
given only bare outlines of the
studies under way, apparently be-
cause of security reasons.
