KOREA:
British Troops Arrive

Crack British troops-1,500 strong
landed in Korea as U.N. forces
continued to battle an increased
Communist offensive from the
north in the area of Pohang.
The British reinforcements were
from Hong Kong and had been
in training for mountain fighting
for 16 months. They will operate
under the command Of 1t. Gen.
Walton H. Walker, commander Of
U.N. ground forces in Korea.
Meanwhile, bitter fighting on the
east coast continued, in what mill
itary observers reported as
move by the invaders to cut in
behind the vital communication
center Of Taegu. Frontal assaults
on U.N. positions in that area re-
peatedly failed in recent weeks.
The Reds reported using
10000 troops along the jagged
northern front, slipping strong pa
trolls through the mountains to with
In Is miles Of Taegu.
In the air, United States planes
continued to pound Red supply and
manufacturing centers and give
close support to ground forces.
The US. air force had flown
1880 sorties since the beginning
Of the war and was credited with
severely Gripping the enemy. Con-
firmed destruction Of Ill Red tanks
was among the results listed, with
no evaluated estimates on the mum
Der knocked out in more than 600
attacks on tanks, armored cars
and haIf-tractor vehicles.

RAILROADS:
Strike coIIed off

An unexpected strike threat, IN
volving 131 major railroads and an
estimated 1,700, 600 rail workers,
was called off by the unions after
President Truman issued an execu-
tive order for federal seizure Of the
railroads. ,..sxs r. ,.~
Acting quickly to prevent a ma
tienal emergency, the President
ordered Secretary Of the Army
Frank Pace to take over the rail
lines and operate them 'in the
name of the United States govern
ment." t.z
Within an hour the unions issued
a statement: "The men we repre-
sent will work for the government
gladly under government operation
of the railroads during this period
Of crisis until this dispute can: be
settled N its merits through media
ton"
For the past 18 months rail I'M
ions and management have been
deadlocked In a wage and hour dis
pute. The unions have demanded a
40-hotr week and a 31-cent-an hour
wage boost for yard workers to
keep their take-home pay the same
as it has been for the present 49,
hour week.
Observers pointed out It vas the
fifth time in 80 years that the gov
eminent has stepped in to take con-
troll Of the nations rail system. And
most members Of congress gave
quick approval, Of the Presidents
order.
The unions considered the gov
eminent seizure of the roads a VIC
tory for their side, but any jubila-
ton was quickly dampened with
the announcement by White House
press secretary Charles G. Ross
that ''the government doesn't in
tend to conduct negotiations with
the union" Such negotiations will
continue between unions and rail-
roads with a federal mediator avail
able eff needed"

MACARTHUR:
Trumun Applies Cog

The now famous note Of Gen.
Douglas Macarthur to the Veter-
ans of Foreign Wars, which Pres
ident Truman personally ordered
withdrawn, gave the people OF the
US. the almost unparalleled spec
tacle Of a President telling an
American general to mind his own
business and leave foreign policy
to the White House.
In his note General Macarthur
declared Formosa is vital to
Americas far east defenses and
must remain in on-Communist
hands. He went so far as to say
that many did not understand 1.-THE
pattern of oriental psychology to
respect and follow aggressive, res
olute, and dynamic leadership"
To pursue any other course than
holding our Pacific positions would
expose our friends in the orient
''to the lustful thrusts Of those who
stand for slavery against liberty,
for atheism as against God" The
generals idea is that Fornosa
should be included in u Pacific
positions.
In personally ordering the note
withdrawn, the President set forth
the official American policy-the
United States has no designs on
Formosa, we are guarding it to
keep the war from spreading, and
its future as a former japanese ter
ritory is a subject for international
settlement.
Republicans, however, quickly.
made political meat Of the note
and put it into the congressional
record. Observers also were Of the
opinion Communist nations would
use 1t as propaganda expounding
us. fmperialistic' designs upon
Asia.
It Is an unfortunate breach be-
tween the military and high civil
ian levels. Nothing like it has been
spotlighted on the American scene
since Lincoln's troubles with his
generals and cabinet members.

PREPARATIONS:
Stuggers Imagination

The house sent to the senate two
appropriation bills that staggered
the average Americans imagina-
ton and caused a ny to ask:
where's the money coming from?"
One was an emergency bill Of
$16, I'll, 1888, 379 to help rearm this
country and its allies, passed by a
roll call vote Of $40 to l, and the
other, a general appropriation bill
Of $35, 554, 490, 425.
The senate approved. the general
appropriation bill the following day
and sent it to President Truman for
his signature.
The emergency bill included the
big appropriation to purchase $3.50
warplanes and boosts to more than
$50 billion the military OUTLAWS set
up for this year.
AS an idea how the money will
be spent, the bill included $3.50 mil
lion for work on the hydrogen bomb
and the atom bomb, $598, 637s37O to
stockpile strategic materials, S4,-
535, 400, 900 for the air force; $685.
029, 0e0 for the navy and $685.
547, 600 for the army.
In addition, there was $62,655,-
$50 to strengthen the state depart
ment's Voice Of America" pro-
gram.
The general appropriations bill
carried a proposed $50, 500, 600 loan
to Spain. It was approved. by a
standing vote Of 1866 to 90. No adj
ministration leaders spoke against
the measure, which was surprising
since President Truman and the
state department had strongly OPP
posed it and it had never been ap-
proved by the congressional COM
mittees having charge Of foreign
policy.
Representative. Smith Of West
Virginia m d a bitter, attack
against the Spanish loan, pointing
out that 1--WE have here an almost
ridiculous situation where an at
tempt is being made to write for
eign policy in an appropriation bill
on the floor" of the house.

POLITICS:
Whut's The Issue?

An unusual, almost unique, situ-
alton has developed on the Ameri-
can political scene. In the midst Of
war, with the highest number Of
employed in several years, with
prosperity at a new peak, congress
must adjourn SOC so many Of its
members can campaign for reelec-
ton. But the question is: What
will be the issues?
Four months ago there were a
number Of issues. Among them
were such questions as reduced
spending, slashing or increasing
armed forces and communism
with the government. Many Of those
campaign issues have been cast
aside and others must be found to
take their place. Criticism Of the
conduct Of the war seems the most
likely.
The senators and Representatives
are faced with another question.
Should they 60 home to campaign
now, or wait until the international
picture has cleared and the Korean
war has reached a definite phase?
They will be criticized whatever
they do.
The political picture is further
confused for a smashing pre-elec-
ton victory in Korea could give the
Democrats immediate needed sup
port and would knock the Repub-
leans campaign Of criticism Of the
wars conduct into the ash can.
It Is one of the most unusual Situ-
atoms ever to face a congress.

SOVIETS:
A New Trend

A new trend Of thought has eff
fused from the Korean war. It Is
based on the assumption that the
struggle now has entered the criti-
cal stage and the battle lines are
fairly well stabilized, and, that the
men in the Kremlin now must know
beyond question that North Korean
forces are doomed to defeat.
The new thought is simply this:
The Communists have decided what
their next major move is to be and
are getting set to make it.
Western diplomats believe tn
Soviets and their satellites have
three courses open to them at this
point.
First, they may occupy North
Korea in an effort to prevent the
u. S. = U. N. forces from crossing
the 38th parallel and moving in
close to Manchuria and the Russian
port of Vladivostok.
Second, being confronted with the
prospect of a North Korean de-
feat, they may make an effort to
settle the fighting in some manner
acceptable both to Russia and the
west.
Third, they may send armed
forces into the fight on the side Of
the North Koreans in open defiance
Of the U.N.
Many United States officials be-
lieve the first of the three courses
is the most likely one to be em-
ployed by the Soviets. These Off
Gals believe that Russia Is still
anxious to avoid moves which might
lead to a general war.

you're much too careless to make a successful

"Careless?" said the man with the suitcase
"Oh, criminally. Mrs. Alfredo and Lucia
had never told anyone about the illegal mar
riage. So the blackmailer must have learned
about it from the bigamist himself. But since
Alfred was an Englishman who had lived -
and died - in England, the great likelihood
was that the backmailer was English, too,

the door. 1t looks like rat poison
AT WHICH Mr.. BORDEAUX appeared with the
fire ak and Mrs. Alfredo with an excited gen.
tleman in his undershirt who looked like
Arturo Toscanini. They all tumbled in to find
that Lucia had attempted to commit suicide
by filling some chocolates with rat poison and
bravely swallowing them.
''Molo, molto," said Dr. Santelli happily
Her tummy rejects. All to go out!" And
later, the doctor called Mrs. Alfredo and
Ellery in, and he said: Lucia. Cara. Open
the eye"
Mama, quavered Lucia.
'Bina," wept Mama.
But Ellery set Mama firmly to one side

nLACKMAIL SPEAKS it's
ID own peculiar dialect,
but it has this advantage

but it has this advantage
over other forms of expression: 1t is the
universal language, understood by all.
Including the Sicilian. Mrs. Alfredo had
heard its hissed accents, and she wept
Ellery thought he had never seen a less
likely victim Mrs. Alfredo was as broad as a
gnoccho, her skin had a time grated Parmesan
look, and her hands had been marinated in
the Chianti of hard work. 1t seemed that she
ran very modest boarding house in the West
Fifties which sagged under mortgage. How,
then, blackmail?
But then he heard about Mrs. Alfredo's
daughter Lucia, and Lucia's Tosca, and how
encouraging the Metropolitan Opera people
had been about Lucia's voice, and Ellery
thought he detected the sbilant accent, too.
Lucia's career was in jeopardy.
"On what ground, Mrs. Alfredo?" he asked.
The ground was foreign. In her youth Mrs.
Alfredo had been cook. One summer an
employer had taken her to England; in Eng
land she had met an Englishman, and the
Englishman had married her. Perfidious
Albion! Within month Alfred had vanished
with her lifes savings. What was worse,
although eventually she recovered most of
her money, the glamorous Alfred was dis
covered to possess another wife who claimed,
and proved, priority.
And what was worst, in inexOrable course
the poor woman found herself about to have
Alfred baby. Mrs. Alfredo, as she had begun
to call herself, fled Bloomsbury for her
adopted land, posing as widow and never
telling anyone her bigamous secret except
Lucia; and in the prehistoric days when
house could be bought with the widows mite
she had purchased the ancient property in the
West Fifties which was now her livelihood and
the hope of Lucia's operate career.
''LoNC time scared that Lucia secret come
out" she wept to Ellery, but then friend
from Bloomsbury write me that Alfred die,
so Lucia and forget our shame. Until now,
Signor Now it comes out. If l do not pay
the money"
The crudely lettered note had been pushed
under her bedroom door. Five thousand dol
lars was demanded for silence about her
daughter s illegal state. How do they know,
Signor Queen? Never do we tell anyone -"
The money was to be placed under the
loose newell post on the second-foor landing.
"A boarder," said Ellery grimly. How
