Many civilians already were
fleeing Seoul for the south. Three
United States commercial airliners
were taken off regular schedules
to fly important American and
other foreign persons from the
Republican capital.
But the great mass of south
ward fiocking refugees was head

mated today that 100000 were in
a long column that swelled as it

The linkup with the 3rd Divi-

Had Fought to Reservoir.
The Marines had fought up the
west side Of the great Changjin
hydroelectric reservoir before
masses of Chinese Communists
surging into the Korean war
abruptly ended the United Ma
tions offensive last month.
At the same time the 7th Di-
visions regiments had speared up
the east side of the lake-one
of them, the 17th. clear to the
Yalu River border of Manchuria.
The 17th has not been reported
officially for days-not since it
was announced it had been Or

border.
The Seventies 31st and SD
Regiments and the Marines then
fought fierce delaying actions
against the Chinese Red hordes
to get back to Hagaru at the
southern tip OF the reservoir.
There they were trapped.
The second phase was the
breakout from Hagaru to Koto-
eight miles of slow retreat in bit
ter cold weather and falling snow.
The Chinese raked them with
heavy fire from high ridges lining
the tortuous road. 1t took the
Marines and soldiers - and a
handful of British Marines-25
hours to make it into Koto where
the First Marine Regiment and
some other Seventh Division ele-

The official said that while there
might be some minor adjust
ments" in the final appropriations
for the current year. 1t was not
anticipated at this time that there
would be any further requests for
supplemental appropriations.
Before the Chinese Communists
entered the Korean fighting it had
been estimated that the total
would reach $35 billion.
The funds would allow the
armed services to build up a total
of 2,770,0OO men and 1t is ex-
pected that they will reach that
figure several months before June
80.
The Army is scheduled to have
almost 100000 men under arms.
At present there are around /
million soldiers. The actual intake
will be greater than indicated to
take care of attrition.
The Navy will have 688. 1000. the
Air Force 651 900 and the Marine
Corps 10000.
Mr.. Truman has mentioned
that a 3 million man force is
planned and it is expected that
that figure will be reached
shortly after June 80. But next
years defense budget, which some
sources have said would exceed
$50 billion, will not be finally
agreed on before February, it now
appears.
Several senators who heard

favored declaration of national

urged such a step.

All Data on Prisoners
Taken by U. n. Forces
Now Is Kept Secret
BY the Assoeioted Press

UNITED STATES 9Th ARMY
HEADQUARTERS, Korea, Dec. 8.
The 9th Army. apparently on
orders from higher authority, has
wrapped a thick veil of secrecy
around war prisoners it has cap
: tured.
Eighth Army officers said the
number Of prisoners, the places
they are held, their activities and
United Nations plans for them
now are classified not
available to the public.
One high-ranking officer said
about the only answer he could
give to such questions at the
present time was:
"They are being treated ac-
eording to the Geneva Conven-
ton. They (U. N. authorities) are
leaning over backwards to see
they are well treated"
Evacuation Problem.
It could not be learned what
would happen to war prisoners
and they are believed to be more
than 100,000-if the U. N. forces
leave Korea.
Nor could it be learned if they
have been undergoing indoctrina-
tion to convert them from Com
munism. or if any have volun-
teered to fight against the Reds.
One American officer said re-
Gently some former North Korean
soldiers had joined South Korean
troops and civilians fighting guer-
rillas in Central Korea. This re-
port could not be confirmed.
1t also was reported recently
that some Chinese prisoners had
volunteered to join the NATIONAL
lists to fight the Reds in China.
The majority of the u. N. pris-
oners of war are Red Koreans.
Only small number of Chinese
were captured before U. N. forces
started withdrawing on all fronts.
Kept in Compounds.
Prisoners are kept in camps or
compounds usually well to the
rear of combat zones.
After being captured. a pris-
oner is turned over to a regiment
or division and then assigned to
the POW camp.
If he is wounded when captured,
o prisoners wounds are treated.
One 9th Army officer said many
North Korean war prisoners have
been profusely thankful for treat
ment Of their wounds or ailments. |
The prisoners in camp do some
work. A group of them built a
soccer field in one camp.
Their pay is an Army secret.
It possibly is based on their pay
In the Red Army. North Korean

American Activities described the
fifth convention of the Amalga-
mated Clothing Workers Union in
Chicago in 1922:
"DeIegdteS opened the pro-
ceedings tDith the singing of the
Tnterndtiondle.' President Hill
man read congratulatory mes
sage from Russia signed by
William 2. Foster. The reply to
Russia toas in the form of a reso-
lutio7, introduced by Jack KroII
and read in part as folloDS:
This conUention Doted to organ
ize large corporation for the
purpose of helping Russia on
large scale to reconstruct her
economic life"
The original P.A.C. had Sidney
Hillman as chairman; r. J. Thomas
as secretary; and Lee PreSSman,
who now confeSses he was a Com
munist, as general counsel.
HILLMAN set up IA regional
offices, with Jack Kroll named
to the region covering Ohio, West
Virginia and Kentucky. Another
regional director was Jerry O'Con-
nell who just recently directed the
Senate filibuster against the anti
Communist Bill.
In January 1914 western meet
ing was held in Kansas City. The
Kansas City Star reported that
with Hillman were c. B. Baldwin,
assistant chairman of P.A.C., and
John Abt, general counsel. John
Abt was also general counsel for
Hillman's Amalgamated Clothing
Workers. Lee Pressman recently
named Abt as a fellow Communist
cell member when he appeared
before the House Committee on
August %, 1850.
Testifying before the House
Committee on campaign expen-
ditures i'm August 1914, Hillman
released the names of 141 indi-
viduals described as comprising
the governing body of his Ma
tional Citizens Political Action
Committee. The House Commit
tee ON un-American Activities
Report of 1914 makes the point
that 80 per cent of these 141
individuals were affiliated with
Communists fronts and cOnsti-
tute the nucleus of the Com
munist front movement in the
United States.
In 1947 the ALL. formed La
boris League for Political Educa-
ton less than four months after
the passage of the Taft-Hartley
Law. In politics the L.L.P.E. and
P.A.C. are solidly united, with the
P.A.C. setting the pace and calling
the cards as the older and more
experienced partner.
The P.A.C. and its labor affili-
ates want a labor government.
BY their own estimate they are
within five Senators and fifteen
Representatives of controlling
Congress. The voters have
right to know the record of the
Political Action Committee
which is trying to take over the
Democratic Party and the Con-
gress of the United States. If
they obtain such a Congress, we
will have a Labor Socialist gov
