 " ASHINGTON - You have to have card-index system these days to keep up with the accusa- tions of certain Congressmen re- garding Communists in the Fed eral Government.
 Unfortunately the average citi- zens doesn't have time to keep card index, so gets confused over harum-scarum Senator Joe Mo- Carthy's recent accusation that there were 57 card-carrying Com munists in the State Department.
 When the Senator from Wis consin finally was pinned down, he could produce not 57, but only four names of State Department officials whom he claimed were Communists.
 A careful scrutiny of these names is important. Of the four accused hy Mccarthy, one, pr. Harlow S'hapley, at no time worked for the State Department. Two, Gustavo Duran and Mrs. Mary Jane Keeney, resigned four years ago; the fourth, John Service, was reinstated after a prolonged and careful investiga- tion and after virtual apologies to him for ever questioning his loy- alty. He is now serving with the most anti-Russian of all American diplomats, Loy Henderson, U. S. Ambassador to India.

Korean Situation At A Glance
Saturday. August 26. 1850
 (By The Associated Press

United Nation troops today forced invading North Korean forces to withdraw from the Kum- hwa corridor north of Taegu, key Allied base, and repelled Red assault on the south coast aimed toward Pusan, vital supply port.
 Field officers said three North Korean divisions were so badly mauled in the Kumhwa "death trap" that they could not mount another offensive in this sector for at least 10 days.
 But the Reds pushed more ominously 23 miles northeast in the seventh consecutive day of bitter fighting around Taegu. A major Red push by probably 20,- 900 men forced the defending South Koreans back mile along the Uisong-Sinnyong road in the vicinity of Chongno. But, Gen. MacArthur's headquarters said, the South Koreans regained the territory in a counterattack and late reports said their lines are holding while reports from the South Korean battlefront showed U. N. forces were either holding their own or advancing slightly, the U. S. army showed concern in Washington over its disclosure that Chinese communist have massed two armies in Manchuria near the Korean border.
 The number of Chinese Reds concentrated in this section was said to be 10000. A U. s. army spokesman said 12O huge tanks have been sent to the North Ko- rean communists from the Illus sian controlled port of Dairen.
