Koreans made a little progress in
their drive eastward toward Pusan.
Gen. Macarthur war summary
said Red columns had advanced
10 miles east of Hadong to point
some IS miles by air west of the
vital Pusan supply port.
The North Koreans also moved
into the town of Kochang on the
southwest front, 36 miles south
of the Yongdong battlefront and
IS miles west-northwest of Pusan.
Air observers spotted seven
North Korean tanks in Kochang
and called for air strikes. B-26
bombers roared down on them in
two attacks and left one burning
in the center of town. The other
six, however. apparently succeeded
in hiding out.
The west half of Kochang was
left in flames.
The main Communist thrust,
however, continued to bear most
heavily on the Yongdong- -Hwang-
gan sector.
A North Korean prisoner, &C
cording to field headquarters, said
Is to 16 Red tanks. 20 American
| trucks and numerous artillery
pieces were building up strength
for another punch at the Ameri-
can defenders.
Gen. Gay reported his First
Cavalry foot troopers were pretty
intact" although some men were
tired from moving around"
First Cavalry troops have made
three Withdrawals since landing
in Korea two weeks ago. During
that time Gen. Gay said the di-
vision has hurt the Reds more
than they've hurt u.s.
Gen. Gay said he could retake
Yongdong if need be. but then
where would we be?"
Guerrillas continued to be a
major source of trouble. More
than 80 in one band skirted the
south side of the cavalry positions
while at one time eight appeared
directly behind American center
defenses. They were wiped out.
For the fourth straight day
Navy carrier planes teamed with
Air Force fighters to hammer the
southern end of Korea.

American soldiers running down
the road sobbing and crying are
creating a terrible impression
abroad. We have got to have the
support of those people and such
writing is damaging our position.
That sort of stuff gives people
in other countries the impression
that something like Genghis Khan
II is on the loose again and that
we can't hold them (the North
Korean Reds.
Such reports are not fair to
American troops as a whole-I'm
just asking you to give those kids
Ia break"
Col. Echols said he hoped re-
porters would ask themselves two
questions before writing their
stories: Does this give information
to the enemy? Is this hurting
your own country?
| A correspondent asked Col.
Echols why the Army didn't adopt
censorship.
That's impossible" Col. Echols
said. This things being reported
on a global. scale and you couldn t
properly censor It," He did not
amplify that statement.
Correspondents disagree among
| themselves on whether censorship
would be the best solution.
American wartime censorship
nominally is based on security
considerations alone; from that
basis the right to censor is claimed
to include such matters as laid
and comfort to the enemy"

Light Up Red Tanks
For Jets to Destroy
BY the Associated Press

AN AMERICAN AIR BASE IN
KOREA, July 30.-Two reconnais-
sance pilots in unarmed T-6

tanks-beaming them with their
landing lights to guide Allied
fighters.
The United States Air Force an

The tanks were detected at
dusk. The only attack planes
available at the moment were two
F-80 jets. circling Hamchang
some distance to the northeast.
Called by Central Air Control,
the jets flew to the Yongdong

Col. Echo|s Objects

Came From 0kinawa
BY the Associated Press

TOKYO. July 29.-Gen, Mac
Arthur's public information chief
objected today to a disclosure that
fresh American troops in the Ko-
rean fighting had come from
Okinawa bases.
The officer, Col. NJ. p Echols
also urged war correspondents
again to use discretion" in re-
porting the battlefront behavior
of some American troops.
He said, however, that news
censorship is impossible in the
Korean conflict.
Reports Injure Morale.
Col. Echols contended some
correspondents were guilty OF
breaches of security in addition
TO putting out what he called
undesirable reports that injure
soldier morale and the prestige
poi the United States.
AS an example, Col. Echols said
news agency (Reuters, with
headquarters in London) had re-
ported Americans were brought
from Okinawa to fight in South
Korea. Correspondents for other
organizations followed suit after
the news was published.
why was it necessary to tell
the enemy where those troops
came from?" Col. Echols asked
correspondents. why wasn't it
enough to report their arrival?"
In London, Reuters headquar-
ters said it did not wish to COM
ment on Col. Echols' statement.

He told correspondents Ameri-
can embassies in Paris and Rome
had reported news accounts of
the Korean fighting were dam

patch from a special Red CORE

He asserted that more than
1900 persons were killed in three

of destruction" in Seoul, approx
imately 20 miles from the West

cries as they charged. were taking
heavy casualties.

Whitaker Chambers and Henry
 Julian Wadleigh were stealing files from the State Department, our
 relations with Soviet Russia were
 uncertain; during the period when the Dies Committee discovered the
 list of the Harold Ware Cell, Soviet
 Russia was actually in alliance w..t,i
 Nazi Germany, the Hitler-Stalin
 Alliance, which made possible World War II.
 Perhaps it was because of this background, that no attempt was
 made during either Hiss trial to say that his actions were guided by na- tional policy. Yet, the fact is that every man in the Harold Ware Cell did become an important figure in the American government, in fluencing policies which have left a permanent impression on this na- ton. Perhaps none of them can now be indicted. although they can be held for contempt of Cong
 ressional Committee or for perjury Alger Hiss is symbol of mad period in our government. A period during which administrative con- trol had become so loose that major policies were determined at low levels. It was in the Roosevelt New Deal that smart boys and girls, young, brash, inexpert, doctrinaire,
 were imported into the Admins tration, from eastern colleges, with the Harvard Law School contribut-

THESE DAYS
B Y--
GEORGE :. SOKOLSKY
EaSS-A SYMBOL


 Alger Hiss is not an ordinary person. He has had the advantages of a brilliant education at John Hopkins and Harvard Universities :; he has been clerk to Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes; he has served in government in offices of notable responsibility Only 45 years of age at this tragic moment in his life, ne had already achieved such ex- altsd positions as being Franklin D. Roosevelt's expert at Yalta; Secretary of the San Francisco con- ference which wrote the charter fer the United Nations; President of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, his predecessor in that office being so distinguished ] person as the late President Nich- 0las Murray Butler of Columbia University.
 Few young men can roint to so meteoric a career or to such vast influence at so early an age. Yet, this same Alger Hiss has been con- victed of being a liar and spy, of using his high office and extra ordinary opportunities to do harm to his country. Although the charge against him was perjury, the un- truthfulness was concerned with an act of espionage As he was convicted of one, he stands con- victed of the other.
 It was hard to believe when the charges were first hurled at Hiss. but, mind, they were first hurled at him in 1888 and 1889. Yet th. greatest advances that were made in his brilliant career were after Whitaker Chambers had told his story to A. A. Berle, then Assis- tant Secretary of State, who re- peated them to Dean Acheson and others in the State Department.
 In fact, the Far Eastern policy came under Alger Hiss's influence after Dr. J. B. Matthews of the Dies Committee handed to the De- cartment of Justice the list of members of the Harold Ware Com munist cell formed to infiltrate our governmental list which in cluded the name of Alger Hiss.
 At the time that Alger Hiss and associates started their operations this country was not allied in wal with Soviet Russia. After a lon wait of Is years, Roosevelt altersf the American policy and recog- nized Soviet Russia, which hao agreed not to interfere in our dom estic affairs, an agreement immed- lately broken by the Russians. Dur ing the period when Alger Hiss

ing an undue share.
 Many of these young persons had, at college, joined the Communist Party; some had gone adventurously underground others were of the breed of cowardly fellow travellers, sympathizers with but -partici- pants in the various subversivc movements established in this coun- try by Moscow since 1884. Many of their colleagues are still teaching in our universities, corrupting fu- ture generations and hiding behind academic freedom.
 Naturally, few became spies. That takes a special ability and fam atical conviction which not many possess. Yet, the fact remains that no matter what was done to guard our military secrets, including the atom bomb, the Russians were able to get everything we had. It is certain that they could not have had such access to our files and data without the assistance of gov ernment officials.
 The conviction of .Alger Hiss should mean more than the i'm priscnment of one man. It should mean the publication of all the known and established facts; it should mean a thorough house. cleaning in every government de- partment.
