That may be true, but so far

South Korean engineers were
supposed to blow bridges as they

Fortunately they did a very poor

The demoralized South Korean

The Indonesian government was

the controversial House amend
ments to cut Federal spending on
personnel and travel.
The $34.7 billion total does not
include the more than S. billion
Of interest on the public debt and
other indefinite fixed charges,
which would make the overall
budget at least SAL billion for 1851.
For national defense the bill is
believed to carry about $14.6 bill
lion as compared to about $14.2
billion in the House version, passed
in May before the Korean crisis
developed.
AS it passed the House the bill
carried about $40 billion, but made
no provision for ECA and the sec
ond year Of foreign military aid,
because the enabling legislation
for those programs had not passed
at that time. These two foreign
aid programs amount to approx
mately 81 billion. and account for
most Of the Senate increase in
the House total.
Congress started out calling this

There seemed to be little doubt

Amendments to End
300, 900 Jobs Lose
In Omnibus Hearings;
By Joseph Young

The Senate Appropriations
Committee today rejected the
Houses personnel cut amend
ments that were designed to elm
mate more than 100000 govern
ment jobs.
The committee also voted down
a substitute amendment offered
by Republican senators that
would have toned down the
Houses action somewhat but
which would have called for a re-
duction Of about 100000 federal
Jobs.
Leave Amendment Pending
The committee. putting the I'm
ishing touches on the huge omni-
bus Federal supply bill, still has to
vote on the House amendment
that would ban further accumula-
ton Of annual leave by Federal
employees this year. Several COM
mittee members predicted that
this. too. would be beaten.
Although the vote on the econ
omy amendments was not an
nounced, several Democratic Sen
ators said the Houses provisions
were rejected by a "sizable" vote.
The Senate committees action
means that the entire issue Of per-
sonnel cuts must be threshed out
IN a House-Senate conference on
the big money bill.
I0% Cut Called For.
The Houses Taber Thomas
amendment would have imposed
q 10 per cent personnel cut on
non-military agencies and a 2 per
cent reduction for the military
bureaus. Another House proyi-
sion-the Jensen amendment
would have banned the filling of
80 per cent Of Government Job
that occur through nor
NAL personnel turnover.
The substitute amendment Of
fered by Republican members of
the Senate Appropriations Com
mittee would have imposed a 10
per cent employment cut on non
Federal agencies, but did
not call for any employment re-
auctions in the military, security
and law enforcement bureaus.
The amendment did not contain
any ban against filing job va
cancies.

Macarthur Is Named
Top u. N. Commander
In Korean Campaign
Truman Orders General
To Fly BIue-ond-White
Flag at Headquarters

/ President Truman today desig-
mated Gen. Macarthur as Su-
preme Commander of United Ma.
tions forces in Korea.
He directed Gen. Macarthur to
fly the blue-and-white flag of the
United Nations along with those
of other participating nations In
operations against the Communist
North Korean invaders.
MIR. Truman's action followed
adoption of resolution by the
U. N. Security Council yesterday
recommending that all u. N.
members contributing military
forces to the campaign to repel
the invaders of South Korea put
their forces under a unified
American command.
The Security Council also au-
thorized the unified command to
use the United Nations flag. =
Presidents Statement.
In statement today the Presi-
dent said:
Il am responding to the recon-
mendation of the Security Council
and have designated Gen. Douglas
Macarthur as the commanding
general Of the military forces
which the members of the United
Nations place under the unified
command Of the United States
pursuant to the United Nations
assistance to the Republic of Korea
in repelling the unprovoked armed
attack against it."
Five United Nations members
Great Britain. Australia, Canada,
New Zealand and the Netherlands
in addition to the United States,
are providing armed forces to help
back up the U. N. decision to re-
store peace in Korea.
While the non-Korean troops
actually engaged in battle are pre-
ponderantly American, naval and
air forces of some of the other
participating nations already have
seen some action.
Is First U. N. Commander.
By the Presidents action today
Gen. Macarthur becomes the first
military commander acting under
direct United Nations authority.
The U. N. Charter contemplated
that the U. N. would have armed
forces of its own to carry out any
peace enforcement action that
might become necessary, but Rus
sia has blocked any efforts to
create the international security
force.
Mr.. Truman conferred for an
hour with Secretary of State
Acheson before issuing his state
ment.
