Senator Taft, Republican, of Ohio
says "the Korean war always has

Lashing out at the Democratic
administration, Senator Taft said
President Truman has called it
a police action to try and escape
the condemnation justly due to
any President who begins an un-
necessary war.
"One hundred thousand Amer
lean boys have been killed and
wounded, more casualties than
have occurred in any except the
major wars in which we have
been engaged" Senator Taft said.
In his first Massachusetts, ap-
pearance since he announced his
candidacy for the Republican
nomination for President, he de-
clared "the moral character of
the national administration has
grown from petty graft to dan
gerous corruption, and to policy

battle for the huge Hwachon Dam.
The Reds man-made smoke
screen began to lift late Tues
day afternoon. United Nations
warplanes roared into action with
jellied gasoline bombs, rockets
and machineguns.
On the ground Allied infantry
men battered 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
loRg-expected spring offensive.
Rigid new censorship regula-
tons 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.
On the western front United
Nations troops maintained their
pressure south of Chorwon. The
town, IL miles north of the bord-
er, was destroyed by artillery and
air attacks earlier this month. It
is still an Important Chinese base
and road junction.
Yonghon, on the road leading
northwest to Chorwon. was aband-
oned by the Reds. The Allies hold
high ground on all sides of Yon-
chon, but had not entered the
town itself.
