Korean Invasion
Wall St. Plot,
Says Daily Worker
BEHIND THE HEADLINES
BY AIvaine Hamilton & Cushman Reynold.

WHEN THE news began coming in from
w Korea we thought maybe this was it But
whether it was or not the news seemed clear
enough
A Soviet puppet had finally committed an
overt act of military aggression with the
blessing of the Soviet fatherland. On June
25 troops from Russian dominated northern
Korea equippend with planes and tanks, had
invaded southern Korea which had a govern
ment elected under United States supervision
There had been no provocation that anyone
with western eyes could see, although earlier
border incidents had been reported. 1t was
a grim hour. The United Nations faced its
greatest test so far, the precarious strategic
position of southern Korea notwithstanding.
When the United Nations Security COun-
Gil, after hearing US Ambassador Ernest
Gross, ordered the northern Koreans to cease
fire and Withdraw, the picture seemed even
clearer even though the Soviet seat on
the Security Council was unOccupied and the
the Soviet view unstated 1t wasn't until we
got around to the Daily Worker of June 26
that we realized the whole affair was an
American imperialist plot hatched in Wall
Street and Washington to grind the peoples
regime" of northern Korea to dust. The Com
munist trained seals on the Worker staff had
acted fast - and enthusiastically

northern Korea radio was filtered through

the peoples regime is doing to reply. But it
does not require practiced eye to see that

So that's what the shooting was about.

Log
Ends Boat Race

1t may be that Richard P.
Swartzlander will learn to swim,
but it is certain he won't race
boat again-at least not for a long
time.
Swartzlander, %, Of 1886 Mel
bourne I'd, met up with that in
cubus of all water racers, a sub
merged log, in his initial entry
Sunday. He was plotting his IA
foot Thompson outboard Thunder
in the Gordon Shore Boat Club
marathon when he struck the log
near the Lakeside Yacht Club.
With two gaping holes in the
craft, he maneuvered it the 20 feet
to the breakwater and climbed out.
A Coast Guard vessel, summoned
by police who saw the accident
from shore, rescued him and his
boat. Since racing rules require
all racers to wear lifebelts, Swartz-
lander was safeguarded with such
a jacket.
The boat is owned by Swartz-
lander and his father, Alphin, who
have been owning boats and sail
ing the lake for the past five
years. But this was the first try
at race.
Both father and son are en-
ployed at Lincoln Electric Co., Mr..
Swartzlander as a toolmaker, and
the son as a superintendent in the
mailing department.

danger to drivers unfamiliar with
such terrain was the feeling Of
over-confidence. This often lulls
the driver into drowsiness, exces-
sive speed-or both.
The officials of mountain states
pointed out that drivers unfamiliar
with mountain driving have a ten
dency to hug the center strip too
closely. This creates a hazardous
situation for themselves and driv-
ers in the other lane.
Other hazards brought to light
by the National Safety Council
poll include tourists who do not pull
off the roadway before stopping
to admire the scenery, extremely
narrow roads found in the rural
areas of the states, the danger in
some southwestern states due to
roaming wildlife and live stock.
