Offer 10 Cooperate
In Hollywood Inquiry
Author, Identified os
Ex-Communist, Invited
To Appear Next Week
By L. Edoor Primo

| Budd Schulberg, author Of the
best-seller, THE Disenchanted, u
who last week was identified as
a one-time Communist, has Of
Ifered to cooperate with the House
| COMMITTEE on Un-American Acti-
vities in it's Hollywood investiga-
ton.
The novelist, The Star learned,
wired the committee that he de-
sired to be of what help he could
following testimony by Richard J.
Collins, screen writer, last
Thursday.
'Schulberg has been invited by
the committee to come in late next
week to talk to investigators. Pre-
isumably. a decision to hear the
novelist in public session will be
made after this private discussion.
Three Refuse to Testify.
Meanwhile, three more witnesses
refused to testify at today's hear
ing as to whether they are or ever
have been members of the Com
Imuuist Party. They were Anne
Revere, character actress; Sam
Moore, radio writer, and Harold
Buchanan, screen writer. Moore
for many years wrote the radio
show, "The Great Gildersleeve, y
and did the Broadway musical,
Texas, Lii Darling"
The three also refused to state
whether 1945 Communist Party
cards, alleged to have been made
out to them, were in fact theirs.
Just before the committee
adjourned its hearings until next
week, Staff Investigator William
Wheeler took the stand to testify
that eight prospective Hollywood
witnesses have been avoiding
service of subpoena.
He listed the eight as follows:
Michael Urls, Fred Rinaldo,
Hugo Butler, Leonardo Bercovici,
screen writer's; George Backus
Alexander, radio writer; Karen
Morley, actress; Jack Berry, pro-
|ducer, and Lew Solomon, who was
not further identified.
+ In his testimony last week
Collins, himself a confessed ex-
Red, told the committee that
Schulberg had introduced him to
"a class In Marxism in Hollywood
in the mid-30's., shortly after the
novelist had returned from a visit
to the Soviet Union excited" by
what he saw.

Allies Maintaining
Pressure and Drive
Ahead in Red Korea
U. N. Troops Win FoothoIe
Of Lost Enemy Heights
South Of Chorwon
By the Associated Press

TOKYO, April 17.-Allied forces
plowed deeper into North Kn-
rea today, maintaining relent-
less pressure on three enemy
buildup areas where smoke
screens may mask movements for
a big Red offensive.
On the Western front, Allied
troops seized a foothold on the
last remaining heights south OF
the rubbed city of Chorwon. This
is one of the three major bases
II miles north of the 38th
parallel.
To the East, Allied tank and
infantry battered Reds guarding
the road to Kumhwa, a bastion o1
the central front. Between Choir
won and Kumhwa a battle ragged
for the huge Hwachon dam.
Smoke Begins to Lift.
The Reds smoke screen began
to lift late this afternoon. United
Nations planes roared into action
with jellied gasoline bombs, rock
cts and machine guns.
On the ground Allied infantry
menbattered the Reds with artil-
lery and rifle fire.
Thousands OF combat-ready
Communist soldiers were massed
in the hills north of the dam. The
Allied attack was aimed to keep
them off-balance and block their
long-expected spring offensive.
Rigid new censorship regula-
tions issued by 1t. Gen. Matthew
B. Ridgway, new Allied supreme
commander, banned all references
to the exact size and location of
Chinese and Red Korean forces.
United Nations troops main
tanned their pressure south OF
Chorwon. The town was destroyed
by artillery and air attacks earlier
this month. 1t is still an important
Chinese base and road junction.
Reds Abandon Yonchon.
Yonchon, on the road leading
northwest to Chorwon, was aban-
doned by the Reds. The Allies
hold high ground on all sides of
Yonchon. but had not entered
the town itself.
An Allied tank infantry force
smashed into a Red pocket of re-
sistance on the main road to
Kumhwa. Fifty of the $50 Reds
were killed by tank and rifle fire
Kumhwa is east-northeast OF
Chorwon and northwest of Hwa-
chon. It is a key point in the
Red buildup area.
The exact location of the fight
was not reported.
Activity on the east and west
coasts was limited to patrol ac-
tionS.
Planes Hit Railroads.
Dive-bombing United States
F-80 Shooting Star jets struck
Communist rail facilities today for
the third straight day. Pilots re-
ported locomotives and 81 rail
cars destroyed.
The Reds lighted forest fires
and smudge pots in an effort to
hide their ground movements from
the prying eyes of Allied pilots.
They used the same trick last No
vember. just before they opened
their drive down the heart Of tlF
peninsula.

That move opened up a debate
on the matter of the investigation

Georgia pointing out that the Sem

Joint Meeting Arranged.
Before the resolution was intro

for Gen. Macarthur to address q

day.
This was done by the Senate
agreeing unanimously to recess
and meet with the House to hear
the dismissed Far East COM
mander.
Immediately after the Senate
action. Speaker Rayburn sent this
message to Gen. Macarthur
through the Department of De-
fenSe:

of the two Houses Of Congress, ]

address a joint meeting of the
Congress on Thursday at

Senator Russell said he would
object to considering the Fergu-
son resolution at this time, but
he withheld his objection in order
to give Senator Ferguson chance
to speak on the issue.
Foreign Policies to Be Studied.
Senator Russell said the Armed
Services Committee planned to &c

to the dismissal of Gen. Mac

British Submarine
|vanishes With IS
In Channel Dive
American Vessels Join
In Hunt Along South
Coost Of England
By the Assoeioted Press

PORTSMOUTH. England, April
1.-THE British submarine At
fray with rs men and officers
aboard vanished today after a
dive on maneuvers in the English
Channel.
The Admiralty quickly accepted
a United States Navy offer of help
and two American destroyers. the
Ellison and the Perry. joined in
an air-sea hunt by British ships
planes and helicopters.
The ARRAY. one of 16 subma-
rines of the 281-foot "a" class
was assigned to a practice wal
patrol" between here and Fal-
mouth. This meant she would
have been travelling submerged al
all times except when making a
radio report between 8 and 9 am
daily.
An Admiralty spokesman said
there was some hope that the SUBJ
marine commander, war hero 1t.
John Blackburn, might have mis-
read the order on making the
daily morning reports. in which
case the ARRAY might still be pro-
ceeding submerged.
Next of Kin Notified.
"If in so doing she is now carry
ing out a deep diving patrol she
would be unable to receive the
radio messages which are now
being sent to her each is min
utes." the spokesman said. He
added, however. that the Navy
did not pin much hope on this
theory. .
The Admiralty announced that
next of kin of all aboard were
being informed that the ARRAY
was overdue.
A big four-engined Raj Lam
caster bomber led the search along
a stretch of sea rs miles long and
25 miles wide off the south Chan
mel coast for the 1,600-ton craft,
which is equipped with a snorkel
breathing apparatus and escape
devices.
,zig-zagging along the ARRAYS
assigned course, airmen watched
for oil slicks, debris or emergency
marker buoys around the point
where the submarine went into
her dive at 8 pm. (3:l5 pm. EST
yesterday, about Is miles south of
the Isle of Wight. She was to
end the assignment at this base
Thursday afternoon. After her
dive the Affray was due to re-
appear 20 miles southeast of her
starting point, at a point about
lO0 miles west OF Portsmouth.
Bomber Carries Boat.
The Lancaster search bomber
carried a small boat and rescue
apparatus to be dropped by para
chute If survivors were sighted.
The rescue ship Reclaim stood by,
equipped to send divers as far as
535 feet down. The channel in
the area runs only about half that
depth. The Reclaim carries an
underwater gun with which a
diver can fire a hollow bolt into
a subs side. Compressed air is
then forced through the bolt to
drive water out of flooded COM
partments.

such emergencies is called "Oper-

the homecoming generals five
star brothers in rank to speak out
publicly against the theory of
carrying the war to China since
President Truman dismissed Gen.
Macarthur last week. Gen. Brad
ley did not mention Gen. Mac
Arthur'S name.
Last years quick United Ma
tions action in Korea, Gen. Brad
ley declared, may have stayed the
Kremlin's hand as it was about
to precipitate World War III.
Backs Truman Stand.
Gen. Bradley roundly backed the
Presidents stand against Gen
MacArthur's ideas and defended
the administrations policy of linn
iting the war in Korea. AS chair
man of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
Gen. Bradley has a large part in
policy making.
In speech prepared for delivery
to the National Association OF
Radio and Television Broadcasters
he also declared:
/. The Korean war, under pres
ent conditions, may be headed to-
ward a stalemate, but it can be
brought to an honorable conclu-
sion.
2. The United States will not
wage a preventive war.
3. The one price the United
States will not pay for peace is ap-
peasement.
4. The use the Reds have made
of air bases in Manchuria to date
has not warranted U. N. bombing
of them.
Reds Asia Plans Upset.
5. Action against aggression in
Korea upset Communist plans in
Asia, at least temporarily prevent
ing Red moves in Indo- China and
perhaps saving Thailand and For
mosa.
6. Any attempt to settle the
world crisis by an ultimatum-
perhaps accompanied by threat
to bomb Russia-is militarily i'm
practicable and might backlash.
(In Washington the Defense
Department said Gen. Bradley's
speech was cleared by the State
Department in line with White
House edict last December re-
quiring clearance of policy
statements by Government off,
cials. In ouSting Gen. Mac
Arthur Mr.. Truman cited dis
regard of that order as a reason
for the action)
In places, Gen. Bradley's view.
point on the situation was the
same as Gen. Macarthur Hi
disagreed on what to do about it
Gen. Bradley made it plain thai
"I have no intention of entering
the foreign policy field or ever
urging a particular policy in the
conduct of foreign affairs. Con-
duct of foreign affairs is a civilian
responsibility -
Agrees on StaIemate Opinion.
But, he added, "A soldier can
often see strategic perils the lay
man might overlook. It is funda-
mental that our foreign policy
must be based upon our military
capabilities to back it up"
Gen. Bradley agreed with Gen
MacArthur's recently expressed
view that the war in Korea may be
headed for a stalemate. The joint
chiefs chairman declared:
There is no early end in sight
to the Korean war under present
conditions. AS far as we can see
now there is nothing transitory
nothing temporary about the
Communists determination to
drive us out of Korea, and, if pos
sible, to destroy our forces COM
pletely."
Gen. Macarthur recommended
in a series of statements and a
letter to House Minority Leader
Martin that the N.ution is to use
Chinese Nationalist forces on For
mosa to carry the war to the
mainland and to bomb Man.

Q-I plan to paper the plaster
walls of my neWly-conStructed
house. How soon can do this?
"A new plaster wall should
not be papered or painted until it
has dried out thoroughly. Usually
this will require at least two
months. Calcimine, in white or
one of the many tints, can be
used for immediate decoration if
desired.
Q-I want to put new roof on
my house which stands in an ex-
posed location where winds of
gale force are frequent. What
roofing would you recommend?
A-Several types of roofing
could be used, but it is likely you
will use asphalt roofing which to-
day is supplying about 80 percent
of the nations roofing require
ments. 1t will be advisable to ce-
ment down the asphalt shingles
by applying daub of quickest
ting cement about the size of a
fifty-cent piece under the exposed
pOT tlOu VI GdCu LdD.
Q-Is a special type of paint
required for painting concrete?
A-Ordinary house paint can
be used in painting concrete and
portland-cement stucco. But the
concrete must be dry. Sufficient
time should be allowed for night
dampness to dry off, and after a
rain three or four days are re-
quired to permit the concrete to
dry out thoroughly.
Q-What Is the proper method
Of taking care Of waxed fioorsf
A-Waxed floors should be
busted with a dry brush or cloth
and polished once q week or so.
This holds true whether the wax
is applied directly to the wood
or over varnish or shellac. But do
not use an oiled mop because oil
will soften the wax.
