County, Long Island headquarters
OF the alleged bookmaking ring
A Brooklyn gambling squad
earlier yesterday raided the head
quarters, took telephone numbers
after monitoring gambling bet
calls and subsequently arrested %
men, including four found at
headquarters. All were held as
material witnesses.
In addition, the alleged head of
the ring, Harry Gross, 80, was
seized by police while asleep in
his Brooklyn hotel suite. They
also took Gross brother, Jack, %,
into custody. Mr.. Helfand first
requested that the brothers be
held in $780, 900 bail.
After a conference with Judge
tLeibowitz early today, however,
Mr.. Helfand asked that the Gross
brothers be held in protective
custody" and without bail until
Monday morning.
Three Men Arrested in Raid.
Meanwhile, as the single record
ing was being played in court,
officers raided Harry Gross plush
Office at SO Court street, just two
doors around the corner from the
district attorneys Office in the
Municipal Building.
The raiding officers took three
men into custody in the third
floor, air-conditioned, four-room
suite which, they said, Gross used
as his main Office. ..
The officers reported the three
men were working on "payoff'
sheets with adding machines at
the time they were arrested.
After the court recording ses-

Congress Clears Way
For Gen. Marshall
As Defense Chief
By Cecil Holland

Inc way mas Deen cleared LOT
Gen. Marshall to become Sec.
retary of Defense, succeeding
Louis johnson. B..
Sweeping aside Republican op-
position, the Senate and House
late yesterday approved special
legislation exempting Gen. Mar
shall-and Gen. Marshall only
from provisions of the law saying
a person could not become Sec
retary of Defense within 10 years
after holding an active military
command.
The congressional action, in
effect. broke a long-standing
tradition that only a civilian
should head a military depart
ment. Gen. Marshall retired as
Army Chief of Staff at the end
of World War II. --- -.
Sent to White House.
The legislation was sent to the
White House for President Tru-
mans signature. After the meas
ure is signed, it is expected that
Mr.. Truman quickly will send the
Marshall nomination to the SEN
ate, probably Monday.
The House approved the legis-
lation by vote of 220 to los
after adopting an amendment ex-
pressing the sentiment of Con-
gresS that Gen. Marshall's ap-
pointment must not be followed
by that of another military man
when he retires from the post. One
hundred Republicans and Demo-
Gratis voted against the bill.
Shortly afterward, the Senate
accepted the House amendment
and approved the measure, At to
.21. One Democrat, Senator Nc
Carran of Nevada, joined 20 Re-
publlcans in voting against it. Ten
Republicans voted with 81 Demo-
Gratis in favor of it.
Several Republican Senators
who opposed the change in the
law said they would vote against
confirmation OF the Marshall ap-
pointment.
Among these was Senator Taft
Of Ohio who said:
IF I voted for Gen. Marshall
I would feel that I was confirming
and approving a sympathetic at
itude toward communism in the
Far East which has dominated the
Far East Division of the State
Department and continua-
tion of these policies may bring
disaster to our people,
However, confirmation of the
69-year old soldier and states
man seems assured since many
of the Republicans who voted
against changing the law took
occasion to praise Gen. Marshall
as a soldier and patriot.
Jenner in Bitter Attack.
Gen. Marshall's services in
China brought a bitter attack on
him yesterday from Senator Jen-
ner, Republican, of Indiana.
George Marshall is not only
willing, he is eager to play the
role of front man for traitors, -
Senator Jenner declared. THE
truth is this is no new role for
him, for Gen. George C. Marshall
is living lie."
Senators listened in silence to
the Indianan's speech and it was
more than two hours later before
Senate Majority Leader Lucas
could obtain the floor to denounce
the attack. It was, Senator Lucas
said. What I believe to be the
most venomous, diabolical, repre-
hensible. unfortunate speech ever
made in the Senate or House"
Two Republicans - Senators
Saltonstall of Massachusetts, and
Morse of Oregon-alSo sharply
challenged Senator Jenner's state
ments.

field and is unpaved.
American bombs had destroyed
the concrete airport building that
had been in use nearly two years,
although still uncompleted.
Three hangers beside the field
. also were destroyed by fire bombs.
Bold Plan Evolved.
It wasn't a hasty strategy-the
co-ordinated blows against the
Red invaders. The bold plan for
the West Coast landings was con-
ceived by Gen. Macarthur July II,
less than three weeks after the
tank-led North Koreans crossed
Parallel 38, dividing the Asiatic
peninsula.
1t was planned when green
American occupation troops from
Japan were retreating bitterly be-
fore the Red juggernaut on the
Kun River.
Although drawn in minute de-
tail and preceded by methodical
naval and air bombardment, the
quick success of the landing was
credited largely to six destroyers-

The destroyers steamed slowly

to clean this up-and I don't
mean transfers of squads of men

ing a jail term for bookmaking.

vance was general and carried up
to 3 miles.

Iof Taegu."
Mr.. Boyle said the troops
pushed off light-heardedly, feel
ing that Red morale would be
shattered by the Inchon landings.
Mr.. Boyle went on:
But this hope was quickly
dashed. Instead of surrendering in
masses, the North Koreans fought
back with animal ferocity. Dis
appointment deepened with the
darkening day. The fighting grew
more bitter.
Do Well on Flanks.
"The United Nations troops did
well on the fanks. They reached
the Naktong River on the left
and swung up it several miles. At
dusk they began to throw mortar
fire into Waegwan. On the right
flank, they circled some three
miles through rain-wet hills east
of Tabu."
Elsewhere, to the south of the
cavalry divisions sector, rain and
muddy terrain begged the attacks.
Close aerial support slowed.
The American I'd Division gained
a mile and one-half in the first
two hours, occupying a hill north
west of Changnyong.
On the left flank of the I'd, ele-
ments of the 25th Division pushed
q miles against stiff resistance.
In one and two company strength
the 25th drove its right flank to-
ward confluence of the Nam and
Naktong Rivers. Red artillery fire
was heavy.

shells landed with a 5-yard
circle"
But, at dusk, Korean Reds were
seen falling back west of the
Nam.
NORTHERN FRONT.
On the Northern front, South
Korean forces continued their
steady drive. An 9th Army spokes-
man said that a gap in the lines
ripped by the Reds in their un-
successful offensive two weeks ago
was closing rapidly. The 9th
Army reported Friday the South
Koreans had occupied Angang,
9 miles southwest of Pohang
in the northeast sector. But there
was no mention of it today.
The drive is directed at Pohang,
Red-held East Coast port 10 miles
north of Pusan. Pusan is the main
supply port for the southeast
beachhead. 1t was threatened
several weeks ago by a Red drive
only IS miles to the west on the
Masan front.
While the 1ncnon landings were
in progress, South Korean Ma
rines landed Friday on the east
coast north of Red Korean lines.
Their objective was to cut off the
east coast avenue of retreat-leav-
ing the Reds no alternative except
to take to inland roads.
Three Army corps were estab-
lished to launch the co-ordinated
assaults. The Inchon beachhead
troops were the 10th Corps, COM
