Word that Mr.. Bigart's story
was in print got back here fast in
inquiries from home Offices. Under
voluntary censorship. each cor
respondent then had to decide for
himself whether to use the story
that all had, but were withhold
ing.
Most followed the age-old jour-
nalistic code, that news in print
is no longer secret. They rushed
out their own stories.
An official announcement was
made several hours later that the
1st Cavalry was in South Korea.
It did not mention the amphibi-
GUS landing.
The purpose Of the embargo was
to insure 'that the beachhead was
secure and to make sure the Navy
task force would. not be imperiled
by advertising its location. Against
an enemy with sizeable air force
this could be serious.

Kruger says.
But Gen. Kruger, a great tao
tician who commanded, at one
time or another, Al of SO divisions
that took part in World War II,
wonders where those forces are to
be found.
Using one of his favorite phrases
to illustrate a bad situation, he
said:
1--WE have got the bull by the
tail and we've got to look him
straight in the face and that's an
extremely difficult operation"
The retired 69-year-old general,
who rose through the ranks from
private in the Spanish-Amer
lean War to commander of the
9Th Army in World War II. sat in
the den of his San Antonio home.
He expressed confidence in ulti-
mate victory but Said
"It seems amazing that a po-
tentially very powerful nation like
the United States is having diff
Guilty in stemming what Is, after
all, a very minor push.
This war is in a small area
Korea is about the size of Min
nesota, shaped more like Florida
The difficulties in fighting in Ko-
rea include poor communications
and roads, and this is the rainy

New Guinea where there were NO

There is only one basic change:
He, Stain. and not Adolf Hitler

When the old Wehrmacht ma

That is what they told him.
U. S. Arch Enemy Today.
When the new Wehrmacht ma

vinced that some day he will fight
the current arch-enemy-soldiers
from the United States. That is
what they are telling him.
Although the facts of German
|rearmament have been known for
more: than six months by Allied
intelligence, it wasn't until May %
that our State Department ordered
stern ex-Admiral Alan Kirk,
United States Ambassador to Rus
STA, to leave little note with the
Soviet Foreign Office.
The note that Admiral Kirk
penned formally acknowledged the
scrapping of the Crimean state
ment by Stain. The admiral
said, IN diplomatic language that
seems remarkably out of date in
this brass-knuckled era:
II have the honor to express to
you the United States Govern

of a development in Eastern Ger

known to the government of the
U. S. S. r.
There has been created in the

to Soviet control a police force
which has, by reason of its mill

character of an army. -

fenced in freedom with a spiked
barricade of stooge armies-sup-
ported by the sheer presence of
his own mass of S million G. Ivans.
Don't underestimate any of
them!
Look what the Chinese Commu-
mist army did to the American
supplied legions of Chang Kai-

Look what the Korean Commit

Suit Dismissed 10 Halt
German Plant Razing

An effort of New York man
to stop the dismantling Of Ger
man factories was unsuccessful
yesterday In District Court.
District Court Judge Edward M.
Curran granted a Government
motion to dismiss a suit brought
by the New Yorker. Martin Opitz,
who said he owns stock in cor
porations affected by the dis
mantling. Through his attorney.
Edward A. Fleckenstein Of New
York. Mr.. Opitz contended the
dismantling constitutes destruc-
ton of private property of an
American citizen and that it is
illegal.
The suit also contended that a
treaty-agreement calling for the
dismantling is void insofar as the
United States is concerned, in
that the treaty was not ratified
by the Senate. The suit named
Secretary Of State Acheson as the
defendant.
Judge Curran granted the Gov
ernment motion to dismiss i'm
mediately after hearing argu-
ments by Mr.. Fleckenstein and
without even hearing Govern
ment attorneys.
The Government was repre-
sented by Assistant United States
Attorney Ross ODonoghue and
Ely Maurer, assistant to the legal
adviser Of the State Department.
Their written motion asking the
court to dismiss the suit, contended
that, as a shareholder in German
corporations or as a citizen tax
payer. Mr.. Opitz did not have
Sufficient interest" to maintain
the suit.
The Government further con-
tended the dismantling is in ac-
cordance with the law and that

SOME BASKETBALl
 GAMES SCHEDULED
 FOR.FRIDAY MIGHT

Hightlight of the Juneau basket ball season will be witnessed this Friday when two all-Star lives and two local teams clash before la full house in the high school gym.
 The all-start lives are the Lions Club Growlers versus the Rotary Big Wheel, The local aggregatioins, sost of incidental to the big fea- ture, will he the Gastineau Chan .rel Championship go between Mikes of Douglas and Columbia Lumber Iof Juneau. That anyone would pay cash to see good basketball as play ed by the local teams as against mayhem between the Growlers and the Bis Wheel is unthinkable.
 Andre Robinson of Le Behrends Modes will fashion the gowns for both all-start teams, with bloomers and dirndls the rage this season under the basket. Considering the age and condition of the club teams obviously even breath will come in short pants.
 Growlers captain Earl Forsytne will substitute in platoon system, only in this case aptly changed to Gohboon System, considering the shapes Of the players. The grape vine has it that mashing quintet will mow the Big Wheel with this eyeliaow-1lising perssmnel-Harry Sperling, weight 232; Carl Rusher, 235; John Geyer, 240; Pete Wood PTS; and Doc Rude, II.

They are, in order of their age, Pat Gilmore, Ham Hamilton, George Danner, and Gus George. Gilmore earned his way through Loyola and Temple U. as a semi-pro and ended up as a ringer on the Ashtabula Central High second team, and fans will watch him closely.
 The Growlers have chosen their training camp between Second and Third floor in the Federal Building, taking the elevator from there up. Both teams have selected doctors, and Big Wheel, being about that old anyway, have asked member Charles Carter to be on hand.
 Tickets will be sold at the door by Rev. McPhetres and Rev. Sobo- Jeff, and both have been asked not to rass the plate after everyone is seated.
 The Juneau City Band will play during intermission under the cap- able, that is can be capped, direction of Joe Shofner, a local Growler.

S0L0N5 MAKE CHANGEsF
 BETTER TEAM
By BILL CONLIN. (The Sacramento Un;on)

ANAHEIAI, Calif., March 21-LR Spring hopes of Sacramento Solons to repeat or improve their 1949 third place finish in the Pa- cific Coast League are centered on the clubs new working agreement with the Chicago White Sox.
 The American Leaguers already furnished first baseman Steve Souchock on an outright sale and three pitchers-Max Surkont, off the Chicago roster; Bill Evans and southpaw Mary Rotblatt, both from Memphis. But the Solons still can use infielders and more mounds men.
 Last years Sacramento slab staff, which was generally rated with Hollywood's as the best in the league, was riddled at the end of the season.
 Ken Holcombe, an 18-game win ner, went to the White Sox for $25,000 cash. Bob Gillespie, a IT, gamer, was sold to Boston Red Sox. The Yankees recalled Don Johnson, who finished in @ blaze as 8 re- liefer, and Brooklyn snatched Nal Mallette in the draft.
 Replacing this quartet is the big problem of Red Kress, in his fresh man term as Manager of the Solons and successor to Del Baker. Kress becomes the fifth Sacramento Man ager in as many years.
 Figured now as prospective Solon starters are Surkont, Evans, Rot blatt, Orv Grove, Jess Dobernic Frank Dasso, Jack Brewer and rookie Merle Prick. who won F games last year in the Western h. ternational League at Wenatchee.

 FOR FISCAL YEAR
 IsV0TED BY COM.

WASHINGTON, March 21-IR-. It's high time commercial air lines shared the expense of establishing improving and operating the air ways,' the House Appropriations Committee said today.
 The committee made its comment in voting $186,415,000 for the Civil Aeronautics Administration (CAA) turing the 12 months beginning July 1, 1850. It also voted the agency contract authority of S52 4l1,500.
 Said the report accompanying he omnibus appropriation bill which was sent to the House for action:
 The committee again calls at .ention to it's concern over the rap- dly mounting cost to the Federal iovernmetnt of the activities pro- gided for in the appropriations fol the Civil Aeronautics Administra- tion.
 Tt wishes to emphasize it's po- sition that the Federal Govern ment cannot indefinitely continue to pay these costs which should be borne to some appreciable extent by the air lines"
 Among items carried for the CAA were:
 Construction of airrorts in All aska: $3,200,000 to liquidate obliga- tions previously incurred.
