Defense Department
Spends S8.465,S93
On Publicity Activities

The Defense Department and
the three armed services spent a
total Of $8,465, 1893 on public re-
lations and publicity activities
during the fiscal year ended June
80, 1t was disclosed today.
A total Of 2,495 workers-706
civilian and 1,789 military-were
used for such work.
The Army had the largest ex-
penditure for such purposes-$2.-
928.000-while the Air Force ran
second with $2,828.945. The Navy
spent $l.999,778, and the Defense
Department itself accounted for
the remaining $709,170.
Even so, the military showed a
drop in such activities from the
1949 fiscal period, when 2,709
workers were engaged. The re-
duction was partially offset by an
increase from 10 to 124 employees
by the Office of the Secretary of
Defense, owing to the consolida-
tion Of such activities in Wash

Byrnes Sees Soviet Return
To U. N. as Sign Of Peace =
By fhe Associated Press

GREENVILLE, S. c., July 28.-
Former Secretary of State James
F. Byrnes believes Russia's re-
turn to the United Nations means
that country isn't going to start
a third world war anytime soon.
Mr.. Byrnes, who won the South
Carolina Democratic gubernatorial
nomination two weeks ago, made
his remarks in a telephone inter-
view after hearing that Russia
had ended it's boycott of the U. N.
He was at his vacation home near
Charleston.
Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister
Jakob A. Malik ended the Russian
boycott with the announcement
yesterday that he would take over
the presidency of the Security
Council August /. The post falls
to Russia on that date under a
rotation plan.
"The Soviet return to the u. N.
Security Council indicates an end
to our troubles in Korea" Mr..
Byrnes said. "The Security Coun-
Gil, having ordered opposition to
aggression in North Korea, now
will find it impossible to justify
further assistance to those who
oppose the United Nations"
Mr.. Byrnes said the return Of
Russia means that Russia dis
covered that the U. N. meant what
it said"

Action UnderU N. Held Reason
For Lack of War Declaration

back to a declaration of emer-
gency on May 27, 1941, are in
operation because formal World
War II peace treaties have been
blocked by Russia.
Public references to all this
closed discussion have cropped
out in both the Senate and House
as committees worked on the
emergency Legislation now being
pushed through.
Attorney General McGrath told
members of the Senate Banking
Committee yesterday that all of
them knew why there had been
no formal emergency declaration.
Chairman Maybank agreed with
Mr.. McGrath and referred to the
statements by Gen. Bradley and
Chairman Symington without dis
cussing them in detail.
Senator Capehart, Republican,
of Indiana, conceded that some
explanations had been made but
added:
Il do not agree with them"
He said a declaration of emer-
gency would aid in two ways:
l. It would give Congress as
surance that any or all of the
drastic powers now being asked
by the President would end with
the emergency, or six months
thereafter, as has been the sys-
tenn in the past"
2. 1T would wake up a lot of
our people to a realization that
we are in a national emergency
that to my mind means an actual
war"

YugosIav Road Opens,
First Big Tito Project
BY the Associated Press

ZAGREB, Yugoslavia, July 28.-
Yugoslavia proudly marked the
completion today of the first ma
jor project under Premier Marshal
Tito's f1ve-year plan-a gray. rib
bon-like highway stretching 300
miles across the fertile farmlands
of Serbia and Croatia.
High dignitaries of the Yugo-
slav government were here for
the formal opening ceremonies
Tito himself may attend. A cav
alcade of motor cars will travel
over the highway to Belgrade for
a second ceremony.
Product Of three years work by
more than 100000, the highway
officially symbolizes the brother
hood and unity" of Serbia and
Croatia. two of the old republics
that make up modern Yugoslavia
More than just a, long stretch
of cement and crushed gravel, the
highway links Belgrade, capital of
Yugoslavia and of ancient Serbia,
and Zagreb, chief city of Croatia.
The link is chiefly economic, but
it also is partly political.
Tito was born in Croatia. 1t
long has been one of his cherished
dreams to link the sections of
Yugoslavia through an artery of
highways. He gave the Belgrade
zagreb project high priority.

Some members of Congress and
many citizens appear puzzled as
to why United States forces are
engaged in an all-out fight in
Korea without the usual formali-
ties of declaring a national emer-
gency or a war.
Gen. Bradley, chairman of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff. and w.
Stuart Symington, chairman of
the National Security Resources
Board, have given members of
Congress a detailed explanation,
it was learned today.
Usually reliable sources said
these are the reasons:
/. There has been no usual de-
claration of national emergency
by President Truman because
United States forces are carrying
out orders Of the United Nations
to stop the Communist invasion
by North Koreans of the Republic
of South Korea.
2. Congress already has ex-
tended presidential powers for
drafting manpower and industry
and is expected to approve a sys-
tenn of economic controls without
need of such a declaration by
the President or Congress.
3. Many leaders here believe
that any formal declaration of an
emergency by the President or of
war by Congress would be used
as an excuse by Soviet Russia for
other Communist aggression.
4. Many of the emergency

German, Rich in u. s.,
Plans Berlin Charities
By the Associofed Press


BERLIN, July 28.-A German
who went to America 40 years ago
and struck it rich returned to his
native Berlin today as a philan-
thropist.
Heinrich Rohde, Sebring (Fla.)
fruit grower, said in an interview
he wants to donate 100000 to
West Berlin for an orphans
home.
He tackled two strings to the
offer: He wants the home to be
tax free and the fund must be
protected from the Russians.
Tanned and only slightly gray,
Mr.. Rohde looks 20 years younger
than his 70 years.
He said he built up a 9,000-tree
fruit grove in Florida and sold 1t
for $400, 500 recently.
He came here to engage a
Berlin attorney to deal with the
city magistrate on the tax problem
and to set up arrangements for
the fund to be administered. Mr..
Rohde suggested the Masonic Lodge
of Germany as the trustee and in
dicated that depositing the inter-
est-bearing capital, perhaps in
West Germany, might meet the
conditions of keeping the assets
safe" from the surrounding So
VietS.

South Koreans Ditch Red Tank,
Capture Crew in Rice Paddy

had blasted them out of their
tank.
It happened few miles north
Of Hamchang on the central front
sector. 1t was a story to send
imaginations soaring.
The tank was coming down the
road when the South Koreans
opened up with 50-mm. euns. The
tanks kept coming.
The South Koreans then tried
an old-type bazooka, but the
shells bounced off the tank. Then
they threw packages of TINT. The
tank rumbled on.
Then our Allied pulled a master
stroke. They blew up a bridge as
the tank got ready to cross it.
That sent the tank scampering
off the road into a rice paddy
where South Korean infantry
men closed in for the kill and a
new era of anti-tank warfare
began.
The South Koreans climbed
onto the tank and tried to open
the turret. The North Koreans
inside moved the turret gun to
knock them off.
The South Koreans doggedly
returned to the attack, pounding
on the turret and demanding i'm
mediate surrender. When the
game knock-knock failed to pro-
duce results a South Korean
officer promised the enemy good
treatment if they'd surrender. No
response.
The officer then found g hole
in the tank big enough to stick his
hand through, inserted his pistol
and emptied the magazine.
With that the tank crew quickly
sprung the turret, jumped out
and surrendered.
I interviewed the prisoners a
half-hour after they were cap
tured. Freshly blasted from their
35-ton Russian tank, they hardly
looked like the enemy that had
kept American troops and their
South Korean Allies on the run
for more than a month.
They looked more like some
lNSx Il
dark well. Their shaved heads
were full of scabs and scars. Their
coveralls hung like greasy armor.
Surrounded by their grinning
South Korean captors, they said
they hadn't eaten for more than
"a hours. They looked it. One
was a carpenter, another a farm
er, another an iron worker.

Menzies Comes Here
To Discuss Australian
Help in Korean War

Australian Prime Minister Rob-
ert G.. Menzies today talked
to President Truman and Secre-
tary of State Acheson about the
armed aid Australia has given and
pledged to the United Nations
forces in Korea.
A bit grim and somewhat tired,
the Prime Minister arrived here
at 1875 o'clock last night to start
an important f1ve-day visit during
which many phases of Australia's
military cooperation will be
brought out.
When questioned by the press
at Union Station, where his spe-
cial car was cut off the train
and shunted to another track, Mr..
Menzies said he would rest on
what he told reporters who had
met him on arrival in New York,
pending formal releases on his
discussions here.
Confined by Strong Action.
In New York, where he arrived
on the Queen Mary. the Prime
Minister said there is good rea-
son to think the Korean war will
not spread.
