ing swirled in the Tanyang area,
far behind this exposed Allied
position. Tanyang is rail and
road center south of the Han
River at it's southernmost bend.
It is astride one withdrawal route
for the I'd Division leading toward
the old Pusan beachhead.
Road Block Set Up Near Ochi.
The Communists set up their
roadbiock near Ochi, town on
the main road between Tanyang
and Chungju % miles to the west.
They poured fire on Allied vehicles
carrying supplies to the I'd Divi-
sion farther north.
Allied patrols rushing out to
clear the supply road ran into road
mines. Then the Reds attacked.
Another vanguard patrol of the
Communist fianking force tangled
with Allied troops northeast OF
Tanyang.
The 9Th Army did not report
the results OF either skirmish. 1t
reported there were at least 1000
Red troops along the Tanyang-
Chungju highway.
Associated Press War Core
spondent Don Huth at 9th Army
headquarters reported this deep
thrusting Communist force
threatened the Allied right flank
and menaced the important net
work of roads leading south in
that area
If Tanyang should fall, an i'm
portant retreat route for Allied
troops would be lost. There is
only one other road available to
the hard-fighting I'd Division
doughboys if they are forced to
retreat from their exposed posi-
ton near Wonju.
Aim to Trap I'd Division.
AS the fight for the key CEN
trail Korean road-rail hub of
Wonju intensified, Chinese Com
munist troop masses poured south
from the Seoul area and east
toward the Womb sector.
Their aim obviously was to hit
U. N. lines frontally and il DOS
sible trap the I'd Division around
Wonju.
Allied planes caught thousands
of the Reds in the open. At dusk
pilots claimed to have killed OF
wounded $500 enemy troops in
the past "a hours.

cials, however, have indicated that
long-range plans call for all serv-
ices to take some draftees.
Mrs. Rosenberg got authority
to release the new strength figure
in a telephone call to Defense
Secretary Marshall after Chair
man Lyndon johnson asked if
there was any possibility that the
80 million figure had been
changed.
Figure Approved by Marshall.
Gen. Marshall just gave me
authority to give this new figure,
which was approved by Gen. Mar
shall and President Truman early
this morning" the manpoMcr ex-
pert declared.
Testifying from a series of
elaborate statistical charts, Mrs
Rosenberg appeared with revisionS
in chart presented yesterday to
show how many Ia men will be
in the draft pool at the end of the
year. This was the way she pre-
sented the revised picture today:
The draft pool as of October
81 consisted of $4,000 available"
men and another 471,500 in 49,
year-olds are expected to become
available during the year by July
l. But, the armed services plan
to induct 10000 by the end of
the fiscal year, she said.
Hershey Wants Safety Margin.
Gen. Hershey. Mr.. Adams said,
insists that he will need safety
margin of from -four to six times
the present monthly draft quota
100000 to allow local boards
throughout the country to- meet
their calls"
This would leave only 101 600
available men above the safety
margin by June 80 based on the
old 80 million armed forces
strength. The new strength figure
would tap the safety group" it
self.
On the other side of Capitol
Hill. meanwhile, officials of the
National Guard Association told
q House Armed Services Subcom-
mittee that the Pentagon wants
to remove present draft exemp-
tions against about 125,000 en-
listed guardsmen.
Gen Walsh Protests Plan.
Maj. Gen. Ellard A. Walsh,
president of the association. pro-
tested that such move would
wreck" the Guard. If the man
power need is so acute that
Guardsmen are needed, he ar
gued, units should be called up
intact. BY the same token, he
opposed last June's amendment
to the Draft Act which gave
President Truman authority to
call individual reservists into
uniform
Gen. Walsh also declared that
the armed forces-and notably
the Air Force, Navy and Marine
Corps-have been "robbing" Ma

Gen. Parks Expects
Some Revision of
Drastic New Rules
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK. Jan. 12.-Maj.
Gen. Floyd L. Parks, Army chief
of information. indicated yester-
day that censoring of news dis
patches from Korea will be i'm
proved after "the censorship ma
chinery gets adjusted"
The United States 9th Army
yesterday took over censorship
control of all news concerning
ground fighting. Gen. MacAr-
thurs headquarters in Tokyo will
issue general communicates which
relate to the whole command.
Correspondents in the field
have been threatened with de-
portation and even court mar
tial" if they did not toe the line.
Gen. Parks said he expected some
modification of these new rules.
Newsmen at the front also have
been forbidden to use the word
retreat" and must refer to the
United Nations Army pullback as
"a planned and orderly with
drawal."
Gen. Parks, in an address to the
Radio Executives Club of New
York. told his audience that
words are weapons. Censorship,
if you please. is a form of camou-
tage."
An Effort to Buy Time.
Military censorship, he said, is
simply a holding action to conceal
from the enemy - temporarily
information that would be helpful
to him 1t is not designed to con-
ceal from the American people
information to which it is ulti-
mately fully entitled"
1T is an effort to buy time
for the moment-it is not a per-
manent action to conceal mis-
takes" he said.
Gen. Parks earlier had made
the same assertion and had added,
Macarthur transferred the COM
munique- issuing to the 9th Army
in the interest of speeding up the
news"
During question period follow
ing his talk, Gen. Parks was asked
for the meaning and reasons"
for the recent censorship moves in
Korea.
I'm sorry I can't give too much
out on that" he said. The first
I knew of it, I read in my news
paper in Washington. I asked
Tokyo, but just before I came on
the platform here I phoned my
Office in Washington and no reply
has been received yet.
Period for Adjustment.
II think the new order was
issued by the 9th Army. You
know, Gen. Ridgway has just gone
out Ito Korea). There will be a
little period before the censorship
machinery gets adjusted.
There are more than 300 cor
respondents in the field, and the
volume of handling and censoring
dispatches is tremendous. They

French 10 LET Orders
From China for Rails
Expire by Themselves
By Paul GhoIi
Foreign Correspondent of The stor and
the Chicago Daily News

PARIS, Jan. II (CDN Top
level authorities of the French
government have decided to take
no formal action to annul Com
munist China's orders to French
steelmakers but to let the con-
tracts peter out by themselves.
The orders for 10000 tons of
rails, disclosed by the Chicago
Daily News just in time to halt
the shipments, are payable in
American dollars under terms of
the contracts between the manu-
facturers and the Chinese gov
ernment
Chinese Funds Blocked by U. S.
AS Chinese funds have been
blocked in the United States since
December 18 the orders cannot be
paid for and therefore there is no
more question of their being
executed. TOO bad. but it can t
be helped" the French will tell
the Chinese.
Steelmakers who had accepted
contracts with Red China, some
Of them much against their liking,
are now being told by govern
ment authorities that they should
write to the Chinese ordering
agencies telling them the orders
will not be executed because they
cannot be paid for.
Gold Offer Possible.
Naturally the French will be
put in another jam if the Chinese
propose payment in other cur
rency, for instance British ster-
ling. But no doubt the answer
will be that American dollars are
what the French manufacturers
want and no other currency.
An offer to pay in gold, of
course. might force the French
government to make a decision
based on principle instead of the
present astute way out.

by enemy aircraft and not by
Allied pilots by mistake.
The first raid was at 3:45 am
d:45 pm, EST yesterday on the
town Of Ansong, about 40 miles
south Of Seoul. Seven bombs
were dropped.
A little more than three hours
later, a twin-engined plane
roared down to 500 feet and
dropped a bomb on Sojong. 1t
was not determined Immediately
whether the plane was the same
one that attacked Ansong.

Press Chief Says
BY the Associated Press

TOKYO, Jan. 12.-Gen. Mac
Arthur's public information Off
Ger said today that he originated
with Gen. MacArthur's approval
the new system of announcing
Korean war news.
Col. M. P. Echols said there is
not an ounce of truth" to pub

had stripped Gen. Macarthur of
authority to speak freely on prog
ress of the war.

of the authority to speak freely
on the Korean wary
Under the new policy, the 9th
Army will issue all releases on
Korean ground operations. Gen.
MacArthur's headquarters will con-
fine itself to general announce
ments relating to the whole
command.
Also. the Far East Air Force and
the Far East Naval Command will

Both are under Gen. MacArthur's
command.
Seeks to Reduce Confusion.
The 5th Air Force. controlling
tactical operations, issues its re-
leases at its Korean headquarters.
Col. Echols said he instituted the
new plan to minimize confusion"
In the past, he explained, the sep
arate releases by the 9th Army
and Gen. MacArthur's headquar-
ters often were in conflict.
"Since the 9th Army now con-
trolls all ground activity. it is more
efficient to let it announce all news
concerning day-to-day operations, f"
Col. Echols added.
For time, the 9th Army oper-
ated Independently from the 10th
Corps. The latter sent it's reports
to Tokyo headquarters and the
news was announced there.
Col. Echols said Gen. Macarthur
would continue to issue his occa-
sional United Nations communi-
ques and presumably his periodic
overall tactical summaries of the
war.
Security officers in Tokyo will
continue to check war stories
originating here.

 It's lady moose.
 For year, the herd rollcall has included six bulls and a belle. 1t wasn't considered a happy situation from either the stand point of the gentlemen moose or the government agents. The lat ter are interested in keeping a balance of nature" in Alaska Roughly speaking, that's about what the bull moose are interested in, too.
 The experts say lady moose don't believe in bigamy.
 The new feminine addition to the herd arrived in the best of modern transport an airplane. To keep her company on the flight-and possibly to bolster her courage for the experiences bull moose was assigned to fly with her.
 The lady was willing. She walked right into the plane. It took four struggling men to push the timid male in with her.
 The plane landed safely with the herd additions. Of course, it means there is now another extra male, which is sort of a hauling coals to Newcastle proposition, but the percentage is better. Wild life agent Holger Larsen predicts the competition is going to be terrific.

PHOENIX, Ariz.-A high, bald plateau in the Indian country of the southwest-lying astride the juncture of four states-holds the explosive seed of many atom bombs of the future.
 The area, covering some 200 miles in Arizona, Utah, Colorado and New Mexico, is impregnated with an estimated 80 per cent of the nations known uranium de- poSitS.
 It is already producing about 90 percent of the stategic mineral in the United States and may be- come the first major field to bol- Ster our defense effort.
 The district is known popularly as the Four Corners area and is al- most completely within limits of the sprawling Navajo Indian res ervation.
 In the past it has been consid- cred colorful arid wasteland, cut by sharp defiles and treacherous canyons, many of them never ex- plored by white men.
 But today it holds the country's hopes for more and more of the dangerous stuff that has helped mold foreign policies and remake the worlds alignment of power.
