Withdrawal Is Hailed
As Long-Awaited
YuIe Present for GIs /
By Russell Brines

TOKYO, Dec. 25.-A Christmas
present long awaited in this tense
city was delivered today: The
clipped announcement that Allied
troops had escaped a Chinese
Communist trap and withdrawn
from the Hungnam beachhead in
Northeast Korea.
Wives. friends and nervous we'll
wishers in Japan had sweated out
the entire gallant retreat.
The 7th Division is from North
ern Japan, and the remainder of
the evacuated force had become
a part of this garrison country by
adoption.
Nearly every American here
In bleacher seats at war-knew
what was going on in frozen
Northeastern Korea, although de-
tails were logged by a security
censorship.
They had waited since Decem-
Der II for the end of the agon-
tzing drama, always clouded by
the, uncertainty of whether the
Allied steel rim around the beach,
head could Withstand the human
mass which the Chinese were ca
pable of mastering.
Hungnam was a Bataan that
worked - the biggest seaborne
evacuation in American military
history.
Scientific Calculation.
Mingled with the tenseness with
which Japan watched the ma
neuver was the scientific calcu-
lation with which military Off
GERS observed it. The evacuation
was unique in military history and
may become as classic as the more
triumphant Inchon landing of
September Is.
This was power in retreat-the
evacuation of an undefeated force,
with overwhelmingly superiority
in firepower, before the sheer
&lUIIlUEIS VI tllc cI1eIIly.
The results may point the way
for future developments in the
strange, cruel Korean campaign.
When the Chinese first hit eX-
posed and extended American lines
in the heartless SHOWS of North
east Korea, the weight of their
numbers gave them a tremendous
advantage. They could outf1ank
the Americans and cut them off
with only men and the mobile
death they could carry.
American Marines and dough-
boys fought their way out across
the ice-battling men and weather
In a struggle that partially nulli-
fed their mechanical strength and
left them largely with their bare
hands and their ingenuity.
Ahead of Schedule.
The evacuation plan proceeded
ahead of schedule. The final
evacuation originally was set for
Christmas day. And the United
Nations forces took with them
100000 tons of supplies-enough
to spark an invasion.
For those who witnessed it from
Japan the evacuation was two
edged.
1t was a remarkably successful
withdrawal under adverse circum-
stances which proved the tre-
mendouS punishment that can be
inflicted on an enemy by a force
controlling the air and the sea and
equipped with superior f1repower.
But it also proved that these |
things alone are not enough |
against the massed thousands of
a cynical and spendthrift foe. The
Allies won the victory by escaping, |
but lost the territory SO many
men had died to capture.
So Hungnam was a bright
Christmas present for those who
waited with sore hearts for the
end of an unpredictable drama.
But it also was clouded with
shadows for those so close to the |
battle, because they know that |
another battle, with the same
elements-and the same mems
about to begin.

Truman Unable To Lead.
At the same time, Pravda said
the recent Hoover speech proves
that President Truman is unable
to lead American public opinion
by his proclamation of a national
emergency and that there is no
basis of fact in his affirmation that
his policy is bipartisan.
President Truman, the editorial
said, did not attain his goal and
did not achieve the desired
effect"
The editorial followed Satur-
days publication by Pravda of the
entire text of the Hoover radio
speech of December 20. The
speech is being treated in the
Soviet Union as having greater
significance than Mr.. Truman's
declaration of a National emer-

Electricians Strike Cuts Most Of
 Fairbanks Power

FAIRBANKS, (P) -Two-thirds of Fairbanks regular power SUD- ply was cut off at a.m., yeSter- day when "A AFL powerhouse electricians joined 240 fellow un- ion members on strike.
 No serious effects were felt inn mediately. Residents cooperated in voluntary rationing of electricity and some emergency power was obtained from auxiliary sources.
 The walkout was at the power plant of the Fairbanks Explora- ton department of the U. s. S. R. & M Co.,, which furnishes about 65 per cent of the city'S electric energy.
 The company's other members of the AFL International Brother hood of Electrical Workers left their dredging and mining jobs six days ago after contract nego- tiations were stalemated. Princi- pal issue in the IBEW's demand for union shop.
 Neither side has budged since then, and union spokesmen said the strike will continue until the company agrees to the union shop clause.
 The unions only concession was temporary agreement to keep the power plane operating during the strike. This was cancelled late last week and the walkout was or dered for yesterday.
 Meanwhile, city att n y s checked on the legal aspects of seeking a court injunction against the union on grounds that a power shortage create a menace to pub lie health through curtailed use of water, sewage and refrigeration facilities. A report was to be made to the city council today.
 Before the strike spread to the poWerhouse, run on gasoline burners and camp stoves cleaned out stocks in local stores.

Wage And Hour Law Changes
 Affects Overtime

Recent changes in the Fair La bor Standards Act F'ederal wage and hour laW) directly affect many industries in the Second Di- vision, by reason of the extension of coverage, it was pointed out here today by Leonard E. Evans, of Juneau, Territorial representa- tive of the Wage anG Hour and Public Contracts Divisions, U. 5. Department of Labor.
 "The original Act gave mini mum wage and overtime pay pro- lection to employees engaged in handling outgoing foreign com merce," Evans said. "The amend ments extend such coverage to workers engaged in handling in- coming foreign commerce, so that now both incoming and outgoing foreign commerce is covered.
 "This change means that em- ployees engaged in hand in g goods received from any country or from the States must be paid at least 75 cents an hour and at least time and one-half for all hours they work over 40 in any work week.
 Another important change in coverage is the extension of min- imum wage benefits to employees engaged in canning fish and em- ployees of air carriers. This cov- craze is established by the amend ments for the first time.
 "Child labor sections of the Act were amended to directly pro- hibit the employment of under age children in interstate com merce or in the production of goods for interstate commerce. The original Act contained only a ban on shipment in interstate of goods produced in an establish ment where oppressive child la bor had been used within a spe- cified time of such shipment.

600 Tons Ammuni- ton Explodes; Kills 26 In N. J.

SOUTH AMBOY, N. J., R-A thunderous ammunition explosion that ripped this waterfront city and was heard in three states left possibly 26 persons dead and at least 3l2 injured Saturday.
 The big blast of 600 tons of am munition being loaded on barges shook the earth at 6:25 pm. Fri day night.
 Mayor Lohn Leonard of this 10,- 900 population city 21 miles south west of New York said every house in South Amboy was dam aged by the shattering blast. It appeared to have showed glass in the streets of the city.
 The number of injured was an- nounced by the American Red Cross. Ten were in critical condi- ton.
 Four bodies lay in an improvis- ed morgue, two identified. One of the identified was listed as among those loading ammunition. There were two others still unaccount- ed for.
 Among those listed as missing were three sons of the president of the firm which was loading the barges, the James Healing Co.,, steVedoreS.
 In New York the Isbrandtsen Line said ammunition in South Amboy was destined for one of its vessels, the Flying Clipper. But a spokesman said it was not known if that was the ammuni- ton which exploded.
 Defense officials in Washington said they believed it was probably part of a commercial shipment. Speculation that the shipment might have been bound for Pax istan was not confirmed at the

Truman Plays
 Soviet's Boycott Of United Nations
(By John M. Hightower)

WASHINGTON, (P)-President Truman today assailed Russia's boycott of the United Nations over the Chinese communist issue as a "willful flouting" of the U. N. charter.
 He told Congress the world or ganization is sensibly carrying on "business as usual"
 The chief executive attacked the Russian refusal to attend U. N. sessions with Chinese National ist delegates, in a report to Con- gress in which he also said that the year 1949 produced a tighten ing of the east-west conflict.
 After reviewing numerous spe- cific issues on which he said the Soviets blocked constructive ac- ton in the U. N. last year, MT. Truman declared:
 ''The year ended with deepen ing of the tension which has mark ed international relations through out the postwar period"
 He said this was true for many reasons-which still hold good in the middle of 1850. Among them he listed failure to agree on an atomic control plan, failure to

Saturday. May 20. 1850 (By The Associated PreSS)

By The Associated Press)
 Diplomatic observers in London said today France is challenging Britain'S historic leadership in Europe with a dynamic new pol icy pulling the West together po- litically and economically.
 A concrete example of the new French policy is the gold plan an- nounced by foreign minister Rob- ert Cchuman of pooling French and German heavy industries.
 This surprise package was de- livered on the eve of the Big Three foreign ministers and for the past two weeks France has been making her new policy more and more clear. She is attempting to line up Western Europe, with or without Britain, into power full "third force"
 President Truman this week strongly supported the French plan to pool her coal and steel re- sources with her traditional enc my, Germany. American officials 1 long have bee nattempting to prod Europe into some kind of politi- cal and economic union.
 Now, observers say, France is throwing herself wholeheartedly into the role as leader, calling for action not words to rebuild Flu rope.
 Observers said Schuman at the Big Three talks and the subse- quent 12-nation Atlantic Council meeting played down talk of the cold war. He asked that reference to it be omitted in communiques. He wants to rally Europe around a more constructive note. A French spokesman said the revampel French policy is not anti-American. He put it this way: "The United States is very much under the pressure of cold war ideas. But the nations of Flu rope are at present looking at things from a slightly different angle than the United States. They are deeply concerned with their future ability to stand on their own feet"
 Leaders of Britain's Labor par ty went into a secret huddle at Dorking to map plans for the next general election. Because of the shaky majority Labor received in the Feb. g election, it is general ly expected the election will come this fall.
