How Reds Keep Tanks Coming
Us Big Mystery of Korean War

Despite Allied air attack on
Communist supply lines. dumps,
ammunition trains, fuel storage
tanks and gasoline-laden conveys,
the Red tanks keep coming for
ward. They have to stop more
often now, and spend more time
regrouping.
Where do they get their fuel?
One American pilot remarked
tnat maybe the Reds had con-
cealed caches of fuel and am
munition in the South long before
the invasion.
Another guess is that the North
Koreans brought tremendous
amounts Of supplies with them in
the early days when they could
move without aerial attack.
Up to now the Red tanks have
been more than match for their
opposition.
The South Korean Army failed
to use properly the few weapons
it had, The first American holding
forces lacked manpower, the time
and the guns to stop the tanks.
Now the Americans are evening
things up. The new killer ba-
zooka-3.5-inch rocket launcher-
got eight tanks in it's first battle
field test in the Taejon area.
Up to 20 were reported destroyed
by Allied air and artillery fire
under suitable conditions Sunday.
For the first time the Red tank
men have run into a cleverly-
planted minefield. In 100 miles
of travel down main highways,
they had not before encountered
this primary anti-tank weapon.
The Red tank might soon lose
its super er-monster reputation.

Chairman Rankin of the House
Veterans Committee, yesterday
declared that Americans fighting
in Korea would be protected by
insurance policies taken out under
the National Service Life Insur-
ance Act, originally enacted In
1910.
Addressing the House, Mr.
Rankin. Democrat, of Mississippi
said any member of the armed
forces is eligible to take out an in
surance policy up to $4,000. In
addition. the Veterans Affairs
Committee has directed it's staff to
study the possibilities of a new in

Mr.. Rankin pointed out the

TOKYO, July 24.-How do the
North Korean Reds manage to
keep coming on in their Russian
built tanks?
Nobody here knows.
The claims of Red tanks de-
stroyed total more than $50 after
four weeks of the Korean war.
But headquarters officers said the
figure is exaggerated.
Some of the tank kills probably
were reported in duplicate. Others
were reported by fighter pilots
after a fleeting glimpse at jet
speed. Some of these could be
faulty.
Headquarters said a figure of
125 tanks knocked out would be
more realistic.
Washington officials have esti-
mated the Communists had 300
RussianAmade tanks in North
Korea before they attacked.
Gen. MacArthur's headquarters
wants to know:
How many Red tanks are in
action and how many more can
the Russians supply?
How are they getting fuel and
ammunition through an aerial
blockade of increasing effective
ness?
How will this prime Communist
battle weapon do against rea,
competition the new bazookas
and the freshly planted mine
fields?
The Air Force is trying to min
imize the possibility of replace
ment from Siberia by aiming heavy
B-29 raids at railroads in North
Korean territory.
That's the reason for the big
Super Fort blasts at Wonsan, the
railroad marshalling yards al
Seoul. and at key bridges through
out North Korea.
With rail lines knocked out the
movement of such heavy equip
ment as armor and guns could be
restricted to those now in the field
The ability of the North Koreans
to keep supplies moving to the
front has been one of the surprises
of the war.
Neither the Red Koreans nor
the Russians were presumed by
headquarters to have marked abil-
ity in logistics, even when condi-
tions were favorable.

MacAnhur's S Report
To Security Council
Due This Afternoon
BY the Assoeiofed Press

LAKE SUCCESS, July 25.-The
United Nations Security Council
meets this afternoon to hear the
first report from its military COM
mander in chief, Gen. Macarthur,
on the fighting in Korea.
Informed sources said the re-
port contains no recommendations
for further U. N. action, but
merely gives an accounting of
the war so far.
Those who have seen the re-
port say Gen. Macarthur speaks
with high praise of the world
body's collective effort. There had
been complaints here that the
general, whose men are fighting
under the U. MS blue and white
banner, previously had not
stressed the combined effort
strongly enough.
Slow Response Regretted.
Other groups here have re-
gretted what they consider a slow
response from many members to
the appeal by Secretary General
Trygve Lie for combat troops to
bolster the Americans and South
Koreans who so far have been
doing all the ground fighting.
To date the u. N. has an
nounced offers of 1000 men and
officers from Thailand and 80 Of
flcers from Bolivia.
An informed source said today,
however, that American military
authorities do not want rush OF
troops from member nations to
Korea at this time.
There is a feeling that prob
lens Of supply, language difficult
ties and other technical questions
would limit their usefulness.
Diplomatic sources said member
countries think it best to wait un-
til they hear directly from Gen,
Macarthur exactly what ground
forces he wants. This, one diplo-
mat said, would prevent the waste
of sending infantry, for instance,
if Gen. Macarthur needed a con-
centration of artillery.
Gross Is Encouraged.
American Ambassador Ernest A.
Gross said last night that the
United States is not disappointed
at the response from U. N. mem
bers to Mr.. Lies call for ground
forces.
Mr.. Gross, deputy American del
egate to the U. N, made his
comment during broadcast Of
the radio program United or
Not" put on by the United Ma
tionS Correspondents Association
and the American Broadcasting
Co. He had been asked what he
thought about the sloWness of U. N.
members to respond to Mr.. Lies
call for troops.
Mr.. Gross said it was only fair
to point out that because the
U. N. and the United States got
under way quickly in the Korean
conflict the world expected others
to do so. He said people should
have patience with the problem
Of politics, diplomacy and the old
fashioned problem of logiStics.

two Communist attacks with ar
tillery fire and infantry support,
Associated Press Correspondent
Tom Lambert reported.
The 25th Division abandoned
advanced positions during Monday
night. Then it caught the Reds
in a flanking fire when they
made an assault early yesterday
morning under whitening Ameri-
can fire.
Two North Korean Yak fighter
planes attacked American vehicles
along the road leading South from
Hamchang about $50 am. yes
terday $3.50 pm. EDT Monday.
New North Korean Red attacks
were anticipated in the northeast
sector of the winding, 150-mile
mountainous front.
The Reds in the southwest posed
a threat to vital United States
communications in the southeast
ern area of the peninsula.
Reds Take Haenam.
Pentagon officials in Washing
ton indicated Monday that the
Americans might be backed up
into the southeastern corner. A
brieflng officer said it is becoming
increasingly difficult to hold
against hordes of North Koreans
with units of three American divi-
sionS and the smaller, more light
ly-armed South Koreans.
The Reds captured Haenam
near the extreme southern tip o.
the peninsula and more than 23C
airline miles from the 38th Par
allel-over which they had plung-
ed to begin the invasion one month
ago.
Another Communist column
swung northeast of captured
Kwangju and occupied the south
western railway junction of Nam
won. Also siezed-with only small
forces of national police resisting
was Kurye, IS miles south of
Namwon and midway between the
rail center and the southern port
of Sunchon.
The former naval base of Mokpo,
on the southwest coast, was taken
Air Operations to Increase.
Mai. Gen. Earle E. Partridge,
5th Air Force commander in Ko-
rea, promised increased night air
operations against the Reds. He
said the Communists have been
moving tanks, trucks and troops
in darkness. One column Is miles
long was seen moving with lights
on.
That's the kind of thing we've
got to stop to keep the battle area
isolated" Gen. Partridge said.
At the same time. he disclosed
a new bombing trick to blow up
bridges. He explained parachutes
are rugged to 500-pound bombs
which are dropped at the extreme
ly low level of 500 feet. The para
chute slows the descent. enabling
the plane to get out of the blast
area before the bomb goes off.

many cases their sight, hearing,

for dealing successfully with pres
ent-day traffic. When injured they
are far less likely to recover. On
the other hand, children under is
owe their high pedestrian death
rate to two major causes: crossing
between intersections and playing
in the road.
While a large part of the blame
for the deaths in these two age
groups can be laid at the feet of
the pedestrians themselves, the
Delaware Safety Council feels that
particularly with these two age
groups-the motorist are in large
part liable because of the relative
helplessness or immaturity of the
pedestrians. Educating the young
sters and elderly people to safer
habits will save many of their
lives but the responsibility is also
handed to the motorist as soon as
he applies for his drivers license.

cation Of what critics in rave no.
tices all over the country have
said of him. Today, his triumphs
in recital and as soloist with the
major symphony orchestras have
gained him recognition as the
most sensational violin virtuoso to
come up in a decade, and one of
the most sought-after in recent
times.
The season of 1948-49 saw Spiv-
akovsky touring coast to coast for
no less than S8 concerts. 1t was
the biggest u. S. tour a major vio-
linist had achieved since the days
of Elman, Kreisler, and Heifetz.
Last season, on another sold-out
tour, Spivakovsky played rs dates,
on the average of one every other
day, on the west coast alone. He
returned once more as soloist with
the San Francisco Symphony, and
was also soloist with the Los
Angeles Symphony at home and on
tour, on seven different occasions.
Now on his fourth consecutive
trans-continental tour of the coun-
try, the pyramiding Spivakovsky
demand, will take him this season
as far south as Bogota, Caracas
and Havana; as far west as Hon
olulu, and in May, as far east as
the Festival of Britain in London.
In between, he will be featured on
the choicest concert courses the
u. S. traditionally has to offer to
all those who reach the top of
their field.

Brilliant Russian VioIinist
VIII Be Heard On Mon

RANKED WITH MASTERS

Within a period of only seven
seasons in this country, Tossy
Spivakovsky, brilliant Russian vio.
linist, who will be heard on Mon.
day, Nov. q, at s:15 pm, in
Mitchell Hall, University of Della
ware, has come to be ranked with
the great masters of the bow to-
day. His Newark concert will be
open to the public as one Of the

critics as, most colossal technique
of any violin soloist";; violin play
ing of the highest order to be
heard in a generation; thrilling
virtuosity'; literally magnif-
cent; peerless artistry; ''in the
ranks of the greatest; fabulous, /"
Spivakovsly makes plain the rea-
son why.
Born in Odessa, southern Russia,
on Feb. 4, 1910, he was taken to
Berlin at an early age to study
violin with Arrigo Serato. Later,
he continued his studies with Will
Hess. He made his debut at the age
Of 10, concertized throughout Eu-
rope, and subsequently attained
foremost recognition and acclaim
So soloist with the most celebrated
drchestras in the continent.
When the Nazi came to power,
he left for an Australian tour.
There he married. He remained,
playing concerts in Australia and
New Zealand until his arrival in
the United States.
When Artur Rodzinsli became
conductor of the New York Phil
harmonic Symphony in 1913, he in
vited Spivakovsky to play the New
York premiere of the Bella Bartok
Violin Concerto. The young virtu-
osao was an overnight success and
created a furor Of acclaim which
has kept on gathering momentum
ever since.
K this brilliantly successful
premiere set the New York music
world afire, his debut appearance

WALKING Is
DANGEROUS
Dangerous Age for Pedestri-
ans Is Under Is Years and
Over IS Years of Age
HIGHEST RATE OVER 65

The dangerous age-or ages-in
traffic according to the Delaware
Safety Council, are below is and
over 65, for it is among these two
age groups that pedestrian fatali-
ties are greatest.
According to the National Safe
ty Councils figures, about 1000
children under the age of is are
killed as pedestrians each year.
This figure is about so per cent
higher, as a rule, than the number
of is to 24-year-olds meeting the
same fate.
In actual deaths, however, the
Delaware Safety Council said that
pedestrians over 65 years of age
have the highest rate. Based on the
number of pedestrian injuries and
deaths in this over-65 group, it
was found in one typical year that
one out of every eight of these
elderly pedestrians, who We're in
jured while walking, died as a re-
suit of the accident. This is even
more lopsided than it seems at
first glance when one considers the
comparatively small percentage of
our population falling within this
advanced age group.
The reasons for this over-abund-
ance of pedestrian deaths in these
two groups are, fairly obvious.
Aged pedestrians are less able to
protect themselves in traffic-in
