Admiral DenfeId Says
In Magazine Article
He Expected ReprisaI

Admiral Louis E. Denfeld says
he had not expected "the con-
temptuous treatment accorded
me in my summary dismissal as
Chief of Naval Operations"
The admiral declares, however,
he had realized he would be "the
first victim of the reprisal upon
naval witnesses whose testimony
before a Congressional committee
last October offended" Defense
Secretary johnson and Navy Sec
retary Matthews.
In the first of a series of three
articles appearing in the current
issue of Golfers magazine, Ad-
miral Denfeld reviews the prom
tses made by Mr.. johnson and Mr..
Matthews that the witnesses
would be completely free to testi-
fy. The House Armed Services
Committee, before whom the
testimony was given, has branded
the Denfeld custer a reprisal.
mo Explanation Offered"
The admiral says the first in
formation he received that Presi-
dent Truman had approved Mr..
Matthews request for his trans
fer to other duties was from Vice
Admiral John D. Price, who heard
1t on radio broadcast.
THAT was my first notification
that, after Al years service I was

office the following day to advise
him of the removal, Admiral Den
field wrote.
Instead, he said, the Secretary
asked that he order Vice Admiral
Forrest P. Sherman to report in
from his Mediterranean Fleet
command. Admiral Sherman sue
ceeded Admiral Denfeld as oper-
ations chief. Admiral Denfeld
has since retired.
The admiral adds that Secre-
tary Matthews had tried for two
days to communicate with Ad-
miral Sherman without letting me
know, but Sherman was at sea
on his flagship and could have
been reached only by employing
naval communications, which MIR.
Matthews apparently was loath to
use, for reasons I can only guess
at"

KOREA:
Heurtbreuk Rood

The military situation In Korea
reached the point where 10 one
would predict what would happen
next. The situation was considered
serious, and before this reaches
print, may be desperate.
Military observers throughout the
world were asking themselves It
another Dunkerque was in pros
pect? They wanted to know was it
possible, or even practicable, to
attempt the establishment Of a new
defense line?
But several bitter facts could not
be denied. United Nations forces in
Korea were in full retreat. Pyong-
yang was evacuated and the re-
treating army damned the road to
Seoul, endless columns moving
bumper to bumper. The road up the
peninsula had been bloody. the one
back was heartbreaking.
And as much as the free nations
Of the world hated to admit it, the
Communist armies Of China had
demonstrated to the world they
could march where they wanted
to In the face of stiff resistance.
General Macarthur estimated that
China had thrown as many as J..
600, 600 men into the campaign.
Military observers said it ap-
peared the Chinese were deter
mined to destroy the eighth army.

mander, decided to stand and fight
at some spot In South Korea, the
u. S. army would face the greatest
odds In its history.
Most observers admitted frankly
that such a stand would be almost
impossible against overwhelming
odds. And o defeat would mean the
loss Of the entire eighth army.
The only other possibility was .
beachhead like the one ut Pusan,
with artillery. planes and ships put
ting up Q wall Of steel from behind
which the eighth army could bs
evacuated to Japan.

YuIe Trees
Can Increase
Fire Hazard

That Christmas tree you are
planning to set up in your home
could be a major fire hazard
unless you take a few precau-
lions, the National Board of
Fire Underwriters warns.
Tests made by Underwriters
Laboratories, Inc, demonstrated
that Christmas trees of average
size are easily ignited and burn
furiously. The blaze could easily
start a dangerous fire in the
home.
Engineers of the National
Board offer the following Sug-
gestions for m making your
Christmas tree safe:
l. Choose a small tree. 1t will
be less hazardous.
2. Wait until a few days be-
fore Christmas to set up your
tree.
8. Keep the tree outdoors I'M
til ready to set it up.
4. Place the tree in the coolest
part of the house.
S. If a radiator is near the
tree, shut it off.
6. Do not use cotton or paper
decorations unless they are
flame-proofed.
7. Do not place electric trains
around the tree.
8. Do not use candles. Use
electric lights instead.
9. Make certain wires are not
frayed. Choose lighting sets

TRUMAN-ATTLEE:
For Unity and Peace

Prime Minister Attles Of Britain
and President Truman held a series
Of conferences in Washington during
which the leaders of the two most
powerful democratic nations dis
cussed the world situation in general
and the Korean crisis in particular.
Although no official announcement
had been made on topics under dis
cussion, reliable sources said they
tried to solve three questions:
/. Should the divided, badly out
numbered, and already reduced
forces of the U.N. be withdrawn
from Korea as soon as possible, or
should they remain and try to fight
1t out?
2. Should the western powers, If
they withdraw or are forced out,
then carry on a naval and air
blockade of Communist China in an
attempt to make the governing OF
China by the Communists as diff
cult as possible, or should they
reject such a course as an intermin-
able and fruitless operation and
choose instead to divert their forces
to the defense of Europe and/or
southeast Asia?
3. Is a combination Of these two
courses possible? For example,
would it be possible to arrange,
through India OF the U. N. a cease
fire at the 18th parallel, with a view
to seeking an honorable solution,
and, if no such solution is offered,
then carrying on a limited war
against Red China?
Observers were also quick to point
out that the meeting Of the two was
further designed to show the world
that Britain and the United States
were united in purpose.
Many observers put the problem
facing the President and the Prime
Minister this way: To get peace on
honorable terms if they can, but to
continue to punish aggression If
they cannot, without becoming in
volved in a general war with Red
China and without getting too many
of their forces pinned down in the
far east.
The two men were said to agree
on one point, that Europe, not Asia,
is the decisive theater Of operations.

CLEANING SINK DRAIN

c. J. f. writes: do you know of
any product that can be safely used
to keep a farm sink drain open with
out harm to the bacterial action in
a septic tank?"
1t should always be kept in mind
that the bacterial action in septic
tank is produced by living bacteria,
and that these are more easily de-
stroyed by strong acids or alkalies
than are many disease producing
ones.
Soaps, drain solvents, and other
mild cleaners and disinfectants in
daily use are not likely to cause
trouble because they are so greatly
diluted in the 500 or more gallons in
the septic tank; but when one-heap-
ing tablespoonful (about one-hah,
OUNCE of chloride of lime is given as
a safe disinfectant for 200 gallons of
water, it shows that large amounts
of such must be used with caution
with even a 900 or 700-gallon septic
tank Sick room disinfectants also
must be watched carefully.
Opening a clogged drain calls for
to Is ounces of strong alkai sol
vent, which Is very likely to cause
damage, and is not SO satisfactory
as the proper sized rod plunger. The
best solution to this problem is to
run the sink waste into grease trap
to keep the grease and hardwater
curds out of the septic tank. Have
the sink drain short with V-con-
nection SO plunger can be pushed
into it to remove grease collections
without the need of strong solvents.
Because of this danger, it is wise
to save some sludge when cleaning
the septic tank and pour a pint into
the sewage system occasionally,
rather than spending good money
for yeast or other materials for re-
stocking the tank bacteria.

William H. Wolf, Assistant Pro-
secutor, told the jury, "There is
no doubt in the minds Of the pro-
secution, that Mrs. Alberta Davi-

she refused to take the stand in
her own defence, due to the fact
that she didn't want the court or
