Green Asks Senators
To Probe Denhan's S
Drive Against ITU

AFL President William Green
last night asked for a Senate
investigation of what he called
the ruthless and vindictive cam
paign" of persecution waged
against the International Typo
graphical Union by Robert N
Denham, general counsel of the
National Labor Relations Board
He called on the Senate sub
committee on labor management
relations to look into Mr.. Den
hams handling of unfair labor
practice cases against the print
ers' union.
Last fall the NLRB held that
the TTU was violating the Taft
Hartley Act by attempting to
force illegal closed-shop condi-
tions on newspaper publishers.
The board ordered the union to
cease the practices.
Recently the NLRB said that it
soon would seek Federal court
enforcement of its orders.
Mr.. Green, in letters to Chair
man Murray and other members
of the Senate committee, declared
that Mr.. Denham is insisting on
court action to compel the printers
obedience to the NLRB orders
even though the union has offered
voluntarily to comply with them.
Referring to an investigation
made by Mr.. Denham's Office to
determine whether the union was
complying with the board orders,
Mr.. Green said "he talked with NO
officer, agent or member of the
TTU, although the ITU had
pledged its full cooperation"
The American Newspaper Pub
fishers Association has said that
the union was not complying with
the board directions.
What is behind Mr.. Denham's S
relentless campaign against one
of the Oldest, most democratic
and most respectable constituent
bodies of the AFL?" Mr.. Green
asked the Senator's.

One of the more diverting OF
Mrs. Parker's activities this year
has been directing Sunday School
children working on the stained
glass window project for the chill
dren's chapel. twenty-five chill
dren worked on designs for 40
panes to portray in original con-
cept the life of Saint Paul. The
window is to be dedicated in the
fall when such youthful artists as
Jimmy Hoage and Lindy Cohee
have returned from vacations, she
explained.

good neighbor relationships as well
as to provide revenue. Somehow
she manages to tuck in a weekly

When I talked to Mrs. Parker,
we surveyed her pine -paneled
chintz-adorned drawing room and
dining room. In them are fine old
pieces of family heirloom furni-

When ! asked her what she most
liked to do for recreation, she
said:
Enjoy the society Of my hus-
band and two sons, and exercise
my green thumb working beside
my father in his flower and vege-

President Theodore Roosevelt rode

turns presenting apples from the
orchard on River road to the
Presidents horse, and Col. Roose-

Mr.. Harry has long been a
trustee of the Eldbrooke Church,
which is situated at River road

a christening gift in honor of a
close family friend, and Father
Bernard MCGUIRE of Georgetown
College, who christened him and
who conducted services in make

Cling congregation, applied her
gift as the initial one in erecting
the church which preceded the
present new structure.
Formerly director of religious
education and superintendent of
the Junior department of the
Sunday school at Eldbrooke
Church where her mother for a

New Adventists Head
Urges Dedication 10
Cause Of Christianity
By Clint Mosher
Special Correspondent of The Stor

SAN FRANCISCO, July 15.-
Elder w. H. Branson, newly
elected president of the Seventh
Day Adventist Church, today ad-
monished all members of the
church to dedicate their lives COM
pletely to the cause of Christi
anity.
In his first official address
Elder Branson declared a regen-
Grafton. of man through the power
of the Holy Spirit is necessary
prelude to world peace.
He addressed a huge crowd OF
$4,000, one of the largest gather
ings in the church's history.
In addition to the $50 delegates
from Sc countries for the 46th
quadreenial conference of the
church, Adventists from all over
the west hocked for the weekend
devotional services.
Capacity Audience.
A capacity audience of 10000
spread out before Elder Bransou
in civic auditorium where he
spoke. His voice was carried to
other Adventists outside.
In his plea for greater conse-
Grafton to the cause of religion
Elder Branson said:
Before we can change the
world for the better, we must first
change the individuals who make
UP its population.
Because of the inherently evil
nature of man. it will take more
than education. culture, ethics,
philosophical platitudes, or even
good moral living to effect this
change.
Since the power of evil, which
has gained control of the whole
human race through Adams fall
in Eden, is a supernatural power,
1t will take more than human ef-
forts to gain the mastery over
Satan.
Should Give Harmoniously.
1T is Gods will that men should
live together harmoniously, and
He has made provision whereby
this may be accomplished. It is
only through the agency of His
Holy Spirit, which works through
the hearts and minds of men,
that the human family may be
regenerated, and live peaceably
together.
"The Holy Spirit can work this
change in individuals who yield
their lives completely to His power,
and continually seek to do the
bidding of God.
ITO students of prophecy-the
many prophecies in the Bible
certain things have transpired.
The trouble today, the atom bomb
and the hydrogen bomb-a clear
indication that mans rule is
about to run out and Christ will
soon return and set up His king
dom on earth. That's our basic
tenet-that's why we're called
AdventistS."
Elder Branson spoke at the
morning session of the conference
today. The world meeting, al
ready in session a week. will con-
tinue through next Saturday.
At the afternoon session, 200
missionaries in the native nnS-
tunes of their respective countries
produced a pageant on the stage
of the auditorium.

remarks together with the con-
sidered sentence in his communi-
que-"If successful this should
for all practical purposes end the
war"-it would appear that Gen.
Macarthur was convinced as of
last Friday that the big drive
would force a complete and final
decision.
The offensive moved out. It
was on or ahead of schedule for
about so hours. Sunday night
the Chinese hit back. BY yester-
day field dispatches reported the
drive was stalled.
What happened? e.. -,
Gained Manpower Margin.
It is already apparent that the
Chinese moved powerful new
forces into the battle area, gain
ing complete numerical superior
ity.
Just how many more divisions
have been committed is not yet
clear.
The Reds can bring in new
forces at will despite American
command of the air.
1t is only so miles from Antung,
Manchurla, to the fighting front,
a distance easily covered in the
darkness of one Korean night.
The manpower pool is there in
Manchurla to draw on. 1t is eSti-
mated by American intelligence as
amounting to about half a million
men.
Superiority Lacking.
Traditionally, the numerical
ratio of strength necessary to
mount and push an offensive is
two and one-haf to one. In the
last war there were generals who
did not like to move without a
superiority of 10 or Is to /.
The United Nations had no such
superiority last Friday.
Counting the now almost-for-
gotten North Koreans, they were
slightly inferior to the total Red
force. But this was counterbal-
anced by complete command CT
the air and superiority in tanks,
artillery and heavy weapons.
Terrain Aids Reds.
The mountainous terrain, of
course, aided the Reds.
Gen. Macarthur and his COM
manderS were aware of all these
factors in the equation. Never
theless. they expected to reach the
Yalu this month.
| There are no officers at gen.
eral headquarters who will say
on or off the record-what Gen.
Macarthur meant or what he
was thinking when he made the
remark to Gen. Coulter. In case
like this, you don't second guess
the boss.
Gen. Macarthur has not made
a clarifying statement himself.
Nor are there any indications that
he will make one.
At this point it appears that.
for a second time, what could
be called "politico- military" de-
velopments beyond his knowledge
or control have nullified his plans.

much closer to a political show

much closer to a political show
down than it was a week ago.
Very few observers in Tokyo
consider it possible that un.
admitted war, like the Spanish
civil war. can drag on for years
with both sides looking the other
way.
From a purely military point
of view. Gen. MacArthur's esti-
mate of the situation before the
start of the offensive probably
was correct.
Intelligence had accurately as
sayed the strength of the enemy
confronting the 9th Army. II
could not determine whether
Peiping was prepared to 60 fur
ther with the big gamble, or how
many more divisions were slipping
into Korea under cover of night
The key to the question is the
open" border between Korea ano
Manchuria. It can be closed
automatically. But it cannot be
closed by military forces.
Without clearcut decision the
war could drag on indefinitely
even though U. N, forces actually
reached the Yalu River and sal
on the Korean side.
A million men would not be
sufficient to seal off the whole
frontier.
Taking the territory between
the present front and the river
means very little except that ii
would give the U. N. control OF
some important terrain features
Destroying the Chinese divisions
there or any place else Is the more
important task.
But again, if Peiping now is
prepared to go all out. the forces
at Gen. MacArthur's disposal are
far too small.
The decision must be reached
on a high diplomatic level. And
that is out of Gen. Macarthur
hands.

drop north of Pyongyang, the
general said, 1.-THE war is definite
ly drawing to a close"
On that same day. as intel
ligence now knows. Chinese divi-
sions began crossing the river
The Chinese kept their intentions
well concealed right up to the
movement when they struck.
Even after they were committed
it was not clear whether Cd the
Chinese were sending merely a
token force, CO whether they
were interested only in holding
the u. N. army away from their
borders, 90 whether they were
starting an all-out offensive ac-
tion which they have the power
to do. or (4) whether the whole
move was designed to strengthen
their hand in diplomatic bargain
ing at Lake Success or London.
Gen. Macarthur apparently had
been convinced they would not
throw in still more manpower.
Their actions between the time
when they halted the first head
long rush toward the river in late
October and the moment when
the Allied offensive started were
purely defensive.
They avoided contact and
pulled back mysteriously into the
mountains from ground they had
previously won at very heavy cost
| in men.
Nor is 1t yet clear what they
intend to do.
Gigantic Chinese forces are in
battle now. More probably are on
the way. If. having halted the
u. N. offensive, they continue
pressing their own, the issue will
become wholly clear.
That means war with China on
a full scale.
In short. the situation now is
