today.

has neither halted the military
measures and relief steps taken
by the council in June and July
nor slowed the pace of nations
that have since offered fighting

ical supplies.
Fifty-three of the SO U. N.
members are supporting the U. N.
campaign to throw back the North
Korean invaders.
The big problem now is to get
the offers collected and put on
the Korean front. Transport and
supply difficulties figure in this.
The U.N. informant said the
first news that the men of other
nations are fighting alongside
American GIs and South Koreans
under Gen. MacArthur's U.N. flag
may be a brief announcement
that "the troops of x country
today did such and SUCH" The
next day, he said, there may be a
similar announcement of troops

The generals staff countered
with this proposal when the Army

President Truman is said To

Ethics Seen as Answer.

Controls Urged
To Halt Rise in
Defense Items
Lyndon Johnson Asks
Immediate Curbs as
military Necessity
By Cecil Holland

Senator Lyndon B. Johnson.
Democrat, of Texas yesterday
called for immediate control of
prices as "a military necessity"
price increases on military
goods within the past six weeks"
said Senator Johnson, have re-
duced the purchasing power of
our defense dollar as much as so
per cent in some instances.
IF the prices on defense items
are not brought under control,
the American taxpayer is going
to suffer seriously and unneces-
Sarily."
Senator johnson is chairman
of a Senate Armed Services sub
committee to check on defense
and preparedness matters.
"At the present time" the Sena-
tor said, "it is entirely possible
that the $40 billion requested by
the Armed Services two weeks ago
may buy only SIS billion worth of
fighting equipment. This means
the taxpayers will get so cents on
the dollar for their investment in
defense. 1t also means that the
proposed IS billion tax increase
could be eaten up entirely by in
f1ated prices"
Action Due This Week.
Senator Johnson's demand for
immediate price controls came as
the Senate prepared to continue
debate this week on a measure to
give President Truman broad
authority to impose controls on
wages and prices and order ration
ing whenever he deems such steps
necessary.
Despite the opposition of Sena-
tor Taft of Ohio and some other
Republicans, indications were that
the Senate would adopt a bill quite
similar to the one passed by the
House last week comforting extra
ordinary powers over the domestic
economy on the President.
Senator Wherry of Nebraska,
the Republican floor leader. con-
ceded that a Senate bill similar
to the one adopted by the House
would be passed. But he said he
thought some limitation on the
authority to be given the Presi-
dent should be written into the
legislation along the lines sug-
gested by Senator Taft.
Demand From Consumers.
Senator Taft's proposal pro-
vides that controls over wages
and prices and the imposition of
rationing could not be invoked by
the President without a concur
rent resolution by Congress. In
this way the decision to impose
such controls would rest with
Congress and not with the Presi-
dent.
Senator Millikin of Colorado,
chairman of the Senate Republic
can Conference, said that as of
now it seemed as though the
Senate would adopt a bill similar
to the one passed by the House.
But a lot of Senators are doing
a lot of thinking" Senator Mil
likin added, land there could be
some shift of sentiment"
He expressed the opinion that
demand for standby price-wage-
rationing controls comes from

Key Airstrip Near
Burning Pohung

TOKYO, Sunday. Aug. 13.-
Korean Communists moved full
tank-supported division through
breach in the American Max
tong River line and quickly began
moving six additional divisions
into position for what appears to
be the heaviest offensive of the
Korean war.
Red units of 600 to 300 men
were moving across the river
through the gap made by the lead
division.
A spokesman at American
headquarters said more than co.

artillery formations are advance

Keep your eyes on Waegwan,"
the headquarters spokesman said.
THE big show seems to be shap-
ing up there"
AS the threat to Taegu mounted.
United States Air Force planes
abandoned the vital airfeld near
the burning ruins of Pohang on
the East Coast. Pohang, once
the second best supply port for
the Allies, was no-man's-land.
Units of the United States 25th
Infantry Division rushed up from
the southern front to help hold
the sagging river line.
New concentrations of Red
forces also were reported on the
northern front which is held by
South Koreans.
Main Defense Line.
Total Communist strength
massed on the western side of
the Naktong for the expected all
out offensive was estimated at
$4,000 troops.
The main defense line of the
United States forces is east Of
the stream.
The headquarters spokesman
said the North Korean 4th Divi-
sion, reinforced by an engineer
regiment and artillery, has crossed
the Naktong in the Changnyong
beachhead area. A Red division
usually consists of about 10000
men.
In addition to the 4th Red Divi-
sion, the spokesman placed these
enemy units along the Naktong
and readying for the attack: the
list. I'd, Sd. 18th and 18th divisions.
The official said the North Ko-
rean 18th apparently is not on the
line but is being kept in reserve
to exploit any possible break
through or to rush to the help of
hard-pressed forces
The new Communist thrusts hit
in a one-two punch aimed at
both flanks of United States 1st
Cavalry positions west of Taegu,

The North Koreans expected
offensive - which American Off
Gals predicted would be a mas

The Reds already had cut the
main supply route Is miles SOUTH
west of Taegu. They had road
blocks at two points on this road.
Taegu is SIS air miles northwest
