Korean Situation

Continued from Page One) lished an exchange of letters be- tween Prime Minister Stalin and Prime Minister Nehru of India in which the two leaders agreed Communist China must be admit ted to the United Nations before a settlement of the Korean war could be negotiated.
 Secretary of State Acheson was believed ready to tell Nehru the U. s. wants peace in Asia but not at the price of Lowing to aggres- sion in Korea. The U. s. and most non n-communist U. N. members were expected to insist that nego- tiation of a Korean settlement can come only when North Korean forces return to the 38th Parallel.
 Britain stopped all oil ship ment sto Communist China. The foreign office said British needs in the Far East have increased be- cause of operations backing the U. N. resolution. Earlier this month the British turned down an American suggestion to limit oil shipments to- Red China.
 The war spurred demands in Congress for a Pacific defense pact along Atlantic Treaty lines. The demands were heard as the House opened debate on a $1.222,- 5OO,0OO arms aid bill for non- communist nations. Its passage was certain.
 President Truman will call for more men, money and authority in his message to Congress tomor- row. He addresses the nation by radio tomorrow night.
 Senatorial committees, mean while, looked toward investiga- tions of the Korean military eff fort and of sharply rising prices al home.
 Walter Reuther, president of the CIO United Auto Workers Un- ion, proposed to President Tru- man that the U. s. invest more than a trillion dollars in a 10O- year fight to wipe communism from the earth. He proposed U. S. contribution of $13,000, ,000, ,000 year to a U. N. offensive against communism.
 London reported three new cases of suspected sabotage of Bri- tish warships. There was specula- ton that the incidents, said to have occurred against three de- stroyers, were of communist or igin. British ships have taken part in Allied shelling of North Ko- rean positions.

Communication
Nome, Alaska,

July IT, 1850. An open letter to the publishers, The Nome Nugget:
 In the issue of your paped dated Friday, July 14, 1850, appeared an editorial entitled, Alaska Legal ized Gambling" Assuming that material which is published in in these columns represents the attitude of the publishers, should like to have the liberty of present ing some thoughts in the opposi- ton to this view.
 The editorial begins by calling gambling ca leading form of re- creation in Alaska" When I checked my dictionary (The New Winston, 1945 I could find no reference to gambling as "recrea- tion." Rather it was "to pursue a course accompanied by high de- gree of uncertainty or risk of loss" '" The editorial writer goes on to say ''it would be wise to .. turn a hu- man weakness into a government asset" If we believe with Abra- ham Lincoln in government" |. of the people, by the people, and for the people," then we can read ily see that to capitalize upon the weakness of a few might be gov- ernment by the people, but it would not be of the people, nor for the people. And one might we'll ask the question, 'tHas any nation ever succeeded for long whose sources of revenue were founded on human weaknesses?" It is un- thinkable.
 Among other misstatements and misrepresentations in the editori- al, I should like to point out the one that "the tax burden should be materially reduced" if gam bling were legalized. The same argument was advanced by those who advocated repeal in 1883, but as yet there has been no fulfill ment of the prophecy. Instead, taxes have gone up. and we find our national crime bill due to al- cohol mounting. One economist, Dr. Benson Y. Landis, estimates that the loss in wages chargeable to alcohol alone is $432, 100000 a year.
 Can we who are SO earnestly seeking statehood for our Terri tory be found guilty of enacting a revenue law based on the weak ness of our fellowmen?
 "It is worth thinking about"
 Sincerely yours,
 Clark H. Lewis.

AN OUTNUMBERED ARMY-WHAT IT MEA

(By Clarke Beach)
 WASHINGTON-Armies in the past have been even more badly outnunbered than the U S. forces now fighting in Korea and still have the victory
 Yet when you look back of the campaigns and battles of history you find that an army fighting against superior numbers has only about one chance in ten of being the victor
 Maj. Robert B. Riggs, of the Army General Staff Corps makes this estimate in article in the current issue of Military Review, published by the Command and General Staff College at Fort Leavenworth Kas.
 Major Riggs purpose however, to study the bat ties in which victory went to the smaller army. Few as they were, many important Four of them were among the 15 decisive battles of the world as listed by the military historian, Sir Edward s. Greasy.
 Major Riggs analysis indicated to him that victory in practically all battles from Marathon to the com paigns of World War H. has depended primarily the human factor That is the leaders generasp and tac- bravery and determination This has been true he said whether the fighting done with swords and spears or with rockets in the newest jet planes.

a heavy communist artillery bar rage possibly stignalled the re- sumption of the main communist attack.
 Front observers said the time for American retreat may be nearly past, but President Truman cautioned against hopes for quick victory. The President asked mob ilization of U. S. might in ten billion dollar program, authorized the calling up of national guards men and reserves if needed, and asked Congress to remove limits on the strength of the armed forces. He warned that free na- tions must guard against the pos sibility of communist aggression elsewhere in the world. The Pres ident also broadcasts to the na- ton tonight.
 The same "Hell for Leather" First Cavalry Division, veterans of the liberation of Manila and actually a mechanized infantry unit, landed unopposed on the east coast at Pohang yesterday, just below Red lines. It quickly drove seven miles inland. It was disclosed the 18th Division had come ashore at an undisclosed To- cation and apparently already has hit the enemy.
 Communists on the main Kore- an battlefront before Taejon re- grouped and remassed their fire power despite fierce allied air at- tacks. They began blasting mortar and cannon fire at American posi- tions. An enemy spearhead 40 miles to the southwest drove out South Korean forces defending the town of Fri.
 There was no evidence that the gallant doughboys on the Rum River front, with prospects of lessened pressure due to arrival of new American troops, had any intention of abandoning Taejon. An Eighth Army spokesman said ''the men of the 24th United States infantry Divisions 18th, 21st and 34th regiments were dug in for defense and showed determina- ton to stay"
 Gen. MacArthur's communique said the communists had made "minor infiltrations and move ments beyond contact of our forces" around Taejon. It reported South Korean troops standing along communist invasion routes.
 Allied aircraft struck hard at Red tank and troop concentra- tions in the vicinity of Nonsan, 25 miles southwest of Taejon and left Nonsan in flames. Other allied air men smashed at communists di- rectly behind their lines as the Reds feverishly tried to restore supply route bridges blasted by air attacks. The Reds needed the supply lines to resume at full pace the offensive brought to halt by stout U. S. resistance.
 The defense department an- nounced U. S. navy and air force planes destroyed or damaged 45 Red Korean aircraft yesterday.
 The arrival of the new Ameri- can troops, committed to the bat tie zone on ten days notice, raised hope that the time of American
