Govt Appeals To Good Citizenship To Settle Strike

WASHINGTON, (P)-The Gov ernment is appealing to the "good citizenship" of labor and manage ment to settle a wage dispute dispute threatening defense in- stallations in Alaska.
 Cyrus S. Ching, director of the federal conciliation service, sent a telegram to the eight contrac- tors and the AFL plumbers union involved in the dispute, saying:
 "Neither the employers nor the union, I am certain, desire to em- barrass their country in this mat ter. Good citizenship and concern for the national welfare require the employers and the union in this situation to make extraordin- ary efforts to compose their diff ferences by collective bargaining aided by mediation
 To help settle the case, Ching called a meeting of the contrac- tors and union representatives in Seattle next Tuesday.
 Secretary of Defense Johnson said at the White House this week that the possible tie-up imperils national security.

about 10 miles east of Charleston is a model airplane builder ot years standing. Intrigued by the thought of flying saucer, he started out to make one. He had no model to work from, obviously
 He wound up with doughnut- shaped contraption made of balso wood and silk and equipped with a motor, flaps, landing gear, wheels and propeller.
 The boys of his gang scoffed at the idea that the contraption would fly. So did his father, who bet Joe two cans of gasoline that the saucer would be flop.
 The payoff came at a large cin- der plant field near the Dupont plant. The saucer, attached to 50 feet of wire so that it would not be lost. not only flew but it loop ed, lowered, circled and dipped.
 Joe now has plans for a larger, radio saucer that would put the skeptics to rout.

No "Heads of State Meetingg'' Truman

WASHINGTON, P)-President Truman said yesterday he would accept an excess profits tax if voted by Congress, but added that such controversial proposals should be put off until the next Congress meets.
 He conceded that an excess profits tax-for which he has not asked-would be voted eventual ly. But he said he preferred it to come when Congress is over the election jitters.
 He repeated that he had asked for tax increases which he be- lieved could be enacted quickly and that an excess profits levy is very controversial.
 The President also told his news conference that Jacob Malik, Sov jet representative on the United Nations Security Council, is con- ducting a filibuster on Korea, and it is a filibuster against the Rus sians themselves principally.
 Replying to another question, he said he is optimistic on the Ko- rean military situation. He said he is taking his advice from U. S. military leaders and he is as op- timistic as they are.
 A reporter remarked that Gen. eral Douglas Macarthur had com plained that defeatists and ap- peasers are working against him. The President said he had not met anyone of that sort yet and emphasized he and Macarthur are in complete agreement.
 He said he put Macarthur in the Japan job and also made him commander in chief of the U. N. forces in Korea, and is satisfied with what he is doing.
 The President once more re- jected the idea of a meeting of heads of state on the question of peace. Asked whether the U. S. would approve Thigh levep meet ings if Trygve Lie, JUN. secretary general, took the initiative, he re- piled that this had not been put up to him yet and would comment

Thursday. August 10. 1850 CBy The Associated PreSS)


 Two columns of Americans closed a trap on at least 1000 Ko- rean Red troops today in strong drive which carried them within five miles of the communist south ern base at Chinju. But the com munists made menacing lunges on two other fronts.
 While the southern offensive of the Americans shot patrols to within two miles of Chinju, the communists exploded into action on sector where they had been stalled for some time, and men, aced Pohang, the U. s. air and sea bas ion the east coast. Gen. Mac Arthur's summary said, however, the two-pronged drive by regu- lars and guerrillas appeared to have been halted by strong South Korean opposition eight miles west of Pohang.
 The North Korean Reds also ex- erted heavy pressure on South Korean troops about 30 miles north of the U. s. road-rail base at Taegu. The communist concen- trated their push in the vicinity of Uisong, west of Red-held Yong dok. South Koreans were counter attacking.
 The headlong communist re- treat in the southern sector of Ko- req was described as Gin the na- ture of a rout."
 To the north in the bridgehead battle along the Naktong River, U. s. First Cavalry Division troops finished wiping out Red bridge head, and counted 300 communist dead and 20 catpured. But the U. S. Eighth Army reported Red pressure was building up farther north. The U. s. 24th Division was fighting new communist thrusts along Naktong bridgehead to the south.
 A serious threat developed in the far northeastern end of the 14O-mile battlefront. Just below Yongdok, recaptured by the Reds, two communist pincers drove south against crumbling South Korean opposition. They were at tempting to destroy main Amer ican fighter plane base eight miles southeast of Pohang.
 Mustang pilots at the base said the enemy was only 51S miles from the end of the airstrip. Four Mustangs were lost during the day defending the strip.
 Vigorous countermeasures were under way to contain the new thrust, which burst from two sides. The communists, drlven back in the south and held on the Naktong, had been expected to launch some sort of drive in the north and northeast where they have been maintaining heavy pressure on South Korean troops. With civi1ian-1ed pllerri11aS. thev thrust out both from Yongdok and captured mountain village only nine miles from Pohang, Ameri- can sea and air base g miles south of Yongdok.

he would like to live in. The result
was a house that was and remains
to this day completely unorthodoX,
for Ole Incorporated a little of the
native architecture of almost every
country he had ever visited. The
completed structure is a curious
mixture of styles; simple Nor
Wegan peasant, Moorish, Russian
and a generous sprinkling of Vic
torian gingerbread Yet, for all the
evidence of wild imagination run
riot, it gives an odd impression OF
dignity and solidity.
The interior was designed with
a gay disregard for the con-
veniences of all save musicians.
The main feature of the house is
a sixty-foot music room, enormous
ly high supported by deliberately
carved columns cut of pine taken
from the island itself Today this
is an impressive and beautiful room

softened by the passage of many
years. The rest of the house was

living-roOm, diring-room, kitchen

to cope with entertainment on the
scale on which Ole liked to dis
pense it. More practical members
of the family amplified his inn
agination as the years went on.
For the rest Of his life Lysoen

spent one winter there and every
summer until his death. He found
satisfaction in it that he had

had known; when living there he
never felt his old restless urge to
be moving on to new places and
to see new faces. Yysoen was not
only Norway and his beloved West
land, but 1t was peculiar corner
of Norway whose atmosphere he
felt was surcharged with a spirit

spell. The next winter when he
was busy concertizing in America,

Ole Bulls Beautiful North Sea Island

The big event in Ole's life
that summer was the purchase of
misunderstanding acre island
in the North Sea which was to De-
come for him the bestowed spot
on earth. This island, about twenty
miles south of his native city of
Bergen, was one which he had
known and been peculiarly attract
ed to since his early youth. AS
boy he used to walk over Fana
Mountain to visit some old friends
of his fathers, who occupied The
stately seventeenth-century manor
house from which they ruled the
great farm known as 'Lysekloster.'
From the great central room of
the house one looked down a green
pastoral valley and across the ford
to huge pile of stone covered with
virgin pine which was known in
this part of the west country as
Lysoen, the island of light"
Young Ole used to love to row to
its shores and climb its precipitous
slopes and hide in its numerous
caverns and then even tually
emerge on its far side where the
vast and illimitable sea suddenly
burst into view
Ole never forgot his island of
light. He had made a boyish re-
solve to own il some day and now
he was making good that resolve.
That summer he bought the island
from his friends, the Nicolaysens,
into whose possession it had come,
and Immediately engaged anch-
itect to draw up plans for a house.

 During the trial of those accused of the Reichstag fire, Adolf Hitler permitted defense counsel and for eign observers to be present. But the high-handed operations of or ficials in satellite countries are far worse than anything perpretra- ted by Hitler, as witness the arrest of Robert Vogeler, manager of International Telephone and Tele- graph, imprisoned in Hungary for three long months.
