There is a striking difference
between approaches to fronts held
by the Americans and those held
by the South Koreans. Driving up
to the American front one sees
trucks and jeeps rushing pell nell
in each direction-or closely parked
where one enemy shell could
destroy the lot of them as has
often happened.
One sees practically no vehicles
on roads leading to the South
Korean sector. For one thing the
South Koreans have only what
we gave them, and many of these
vehicles have broken down be-
yond repair.
The North Koreans have learn
ed to sight in on the nearest
schoolhouse if they want to hit
American command posts. One
outfit, shelled out of six different
schoolhouses in two days. finally
dug in on a hillside.
The American Army, always
prodigal in expenditure of equip
ment and ammunition, invariably
leaves valuable stores behind with
each withdrawal. To the ammuni-
ton n-hungry South Koreans this
lis nothing short OF appalling.

Bill for New Airport
In D. {. Area Voted by
House Subcommittee
Senate-Possed Version
For Sl4 Million Project
Quickly Approved
By Harold B. Roqers

Legisla ton for new $14 million
civilian airport in the Washing
ton area was approved today by
a House Commerce subcommittee
and sent to the full committee for
action.
The subcommittee, headed by
Representative Beckworth, Demo-
crat, of Texas, acted on the bill
already passed by the Senate. II
this measure should be approved
by the full committee and by the
House it would go direct to the
President for his signature.
The Beckworth unit had before
it two measures, the Senate bill
sponsored by Senator johnson
Democrat. Of Colorado, and a
House bill by Representative Har-
ris, Democrat, of Arkansas. The
Senate bill was taken without
amendment, committee spokes-
man said. in order to speed legis-
lative action.
The Beckworth group had made
careful study of the project
through several public hearings
and by taking an airplane flight
last week over at least five diff
ferent recommended sites for the
big airfeld.
Maryland Opposition Rejected.
In approving the bill, the sub
committee ignored the opposition
from spokesmen for Maryland who
had objected to another airfeld
here. claiming that the huge new
Friendship Airport near Baltimore
would suffice.
Also the subcommittee turned
down the proposal by Representa-
tive Hinshaw, Republican, of Cali
fornia, who had proposed that the
Air Force give up Andrews All
Force Base in Maryland for use as
a big civilian airport.
The Senate bill authorizes the
project to be developed by the
Administrator of Civil Aeronautics
This official and his organiza-
ton would be authorized to &C
quire the necessary property in
cluding transfer of any federally
owned land. without extra cost
which could be obtained from
other agencies.
To Be Built by CAA.
The CAA would build and oper-
ate the new field, somewhat along
the lines of its power over Wash
ington National Airport here.
Leases could be negotiated for
hangers and certain other facili-
ties for the use of privately owned
airlines up to period of three
years.
, Contracts could be made for the
furnishings of various supplies up
to a five-year period with the ex-
ception Of the restaurant.
The United States Park Police
could be requested to patrol the
new establishment and the power
of arrest would be given to any
official in charge or any employe
at the airport.

AT THE FRONT WITH THE
u S. A. F. I. K, July 31.-One
reason we are losing in Korea is
that we are trying to fight a mech
anized European-type of war
against an ndian-f1ghting enemy
in terrain better suited to noun
tain goats than men.
This was admitted today by a
high-ranking Pentagon observer
who had just returned from the
South Korean Army front. He
was obviously impressed by the
way the South Koreans have held
their line against heavy enemy
attacks while the Americans have
been retreating steadily.
Our people have to learn-and
they're learning-that if we are
going to win this war we have to
get off the roads and take to the
hills" he said.

quoted but he continued: This

About Controls
Are Not Needed, ,
Truman Feels
Wouldn't Veto Bill
For Brood Powers,
Leaders Believe
By J. A. OLeory

Congressional leaders quoted
President Truman today as still
believing he has asked for all the
economic controls ne needs at this
time. They left the White House
with the impression, however. that
if Congress gives linn broader
powers over prices, wages and
rationing ne would not veto such
a bill.
Speaker Rayburn told reporters
the President restated the posi-
tion he took last week in support
of the administration bill, which
deals only with ALLEGATION scarce
material, the right to requisition
property, control of credit and
loans to defense industries.
At the Capitol, however, all
signs continued to indicate strong
support for adding at least stand
by authority to apply rationing,
price and wage ceilings. Other
developments were:
l. Chairman Maybank of the
Senate Banking Committee re-
vealed he has had committee ex-
perts at work over the week end
with White House aides exploring
amendments covering all-out con-
troll. The Senator emphasized this
was being done at his request,
without talking to the President.
Taft Offers Amendments.
2. The Senate committee went
into closed session to act on the
control bill, but with Chairman
Maybank suggesting final action
may be put off until tomorrow to
permit further study of rationing,
price and wage controls.
3. Senator Taft of Ohio. one of
the Republicans opposing all-out
controls, went before the Banking
Committee with a stack of amend
ments to narrow the scope of even
the Presidents limited control
powers.
4. The House Rules Committee
was called into session this after
noon to fix the time of debate
when the control bill is taken UP
in the House tomorrow.
Baruch Plan Gains Backers.
One of the Taft amendments
submitted to the committee today
would add at the end of the ad-
ministration bill machinery by
which Mr.. Truman could bring
about as many voluntary agree
'ments as possible with industry
and agriculture to allocate scarce

Mr.. Aronoff said that in an

Cannon of the House Appropria-

 Regent Prince Charles of Bel gium stroVe agai ntoday to find a political leader who could end the. nations mounting crisis over Whe- ther his brother, exiled King Leo pdld, should return to the throne
 Prince Charles last night asked the veteran Social Christian lead CT FranV can CauWelaert to try to find a solution. He did so after a day of violence and anti-LeOpOld demonstrations staged by Social ists took 100000 workers from their jobs in mass protest against the King who surrendered to the Nazis early in the war.
 It appeared doubtful if the Christian Socialist party could form a government to bring the King back from Switzerland. Many said the nation was so di- vided over the royal question a general election would have to be called.
 A coalition cabinet headed by Social Christian Premier GaSton Eyskens toppled week ago when Liberals refused to support his prO-LeOpold plans.
 The new Greek government of Liberal Premier Sophocles Veni- zelos appeared to have an uneasy future. A rebellion of at least 10 of Venizelos' 55 Parliamentary members was reported.
 France was threatened again by another wave of communist led strikes. DockWorkers in all French and Tunisian ports were ordered to stop work Monday for A hours. The strike was ordered to protest the arrest of striking dockworkers at Marseille. The demonstration is all part of the communist oppositio nto the ship ping of American arms aid to France.

Three Czech Planes Seized In Flight;
 Land In Germany

BIRDING, Germany, (P)-Fifty- eight Czechs who scorned chance to escape their communist homeland, told Saturday how seven anti-communist creWmen seized their three planes in flight and brought them to the U. s. occupied Germany.
 Only 26 of the 85 occupants of the planes elected to stay in Ger many as fugitiveS from commun- ism. One, an American library employee in Prague aboard one of the planes, returned to Prague by train from nearby Munich Friday night.
 Those who stayed refused to talk to newspapermen in order to protect relatives left behind them.
 One of the planes was seized at gunpoint with the pilot, Capt. Jo- sef Klesnil, flying the plane with two pistols pointed at his head.
 "The second pilot and the radio operator pulled guns on me IT minutes after we took off from Brno," Klesnil said. "I thought at first it was a joke, but they or dered me to change my course and threatened to shoot me if I re- fused. l soon realized the course they ordered would take our plane to Germany. But what would you do under two guns?"
 Two crew members of another plane and one passenger who at tempted to resist the seizure of their craft had their hands tied to- gether by the conspirators.
 The successive landing of the three planes coincided with a flood of rumors in Prague, the Czech capital, of assaSSinations, palace revolutions and major de- velopments in the Red-led gov ernment there.
 The spectacular escape already had been widely rumOred there, 1 h ough the government-con- trolled press as yet had made no announcement of the flight.
