 JAP FISHING

TOKYO, April IA, ---R- Senator Magnuson CD-Wash) has called for the revival of the Japanese fishing industry = and his views have been received with wholehearted enthus- iasm by Japanese business and fish ing circles.
 Magnuson, who today went to Korea to visit the fighting front, conferred with many Japanese busi- nessmen.
 The Japanese still are buzzing with anticipation over prospects he outlined.
 T have made it point to make my contacts directly with the Jap anese," he said in an interview.
 Magnuson said he told them T think we could sit down and sign a fisheries treaty right now, as far as meeting the conditions go. The Japanese have been scrupulously needing regulations, am sure most Pacific nations will agree"

"5AB0TEUR5" RAISE HAVOC, ANCHORAGE

ANCHORAGE, Alaska. April IA -- R-The startling ease with which saboteurs could work in war time was brought home here last night as "saboteurs" succeeded in theor- etically wiping out vital power in- stallations.
 The sabotage was part of exer- else "Firestep," Territory-w war games. Target of their activities was the Sacketts Harbor, the city power ship, and the new Alaska Railroad Chugack Electrical Association pow CT plant.
 Sabotage Ship
 The "saboteurs" walked aboard the power ship unmolested, planted their phoney bombs and walked off If they had been real saboteurs- pocf. No more ship.
 At the power plant. two men dis guised as workmen left box of dummy explosives after saying they came to install telephone.
 Six other would-be enemy agents were nabbed by railroad workers while attempting to simulate acts of sabotage of vital track points.
 The city of Anchorage blackeo out at 10:30 last night in the first full-scale lights-out since last fall Observers said it was intellectual as several runs were made by bomb ing planes over the city before the more brilliant lights finally were turned off
 Nearby Fort Richardson was re- ported 100 per cent blacked out.
 A surprise raid" at 5:30 pm. saw 20 enemy" bombers over Elmendori Field and theoretically hit the heart of Anchorage with their spillage.

kt.-(apping Pilot Makes
 uSAF Dizzy

LONGMIRE, Mount Rainier Na- tional Park, Wash. April IA -lR- What next?
 That's what Air Force and park service rangers asked today as they awaited the next move of Lieut.. John Hodgkin, 42. mountain-cap- ping pilot from Selma, Calf.
 He landed his "souped-up" Piper Cub plane atop 14.408-foot high Mount Rainier, spent Thursday night there, dipped off the peak yesterday afternoon before rescue bound park ranger crew could toll to the top of the mountain, then landed on a frozen lake more than 5000 feet farther down the slope where he apparently spent last night.
 It's caused more talk in air circles here than anything since Douglas G. Wrong Way" Corrigan left New York for Los Angeles back in 1888 and wound-up In Dublin, Ireland.
 A C-82 from McChord Air Force Base dropped gasoline to Hodgkin last evening. When last seen he was refueling his stripped-down, ski equipped mountain-hopper. Then darkness set in. With no radio con- tact, there was nothing but silence from Hodgkin the rest of the night.
 Air Force men said they believed it was too cold for Hodgkin to get the planes engine started, but that he probably could do so after the sun had chance to defrost it this morning. As he stripped off the automatic starter, he has to pull the propeller by hand, as he did yes terday near the crater at the tor of the mountain. After landing at Mowich Lake he stamped out instructions to dror him some fuel, which the Air Force did about pm.

HOUSE DRAFT BILL NOW IN
 COMMITTEE

WASHINGTON. April IA -R- The controversial Draft-UMT Bill, designed to provide military man. power for the defense buildup, is now in the hands of Senate-H House conference committee.
 The House passed its version of the legislation by 372 to A vote yesterday after staying off COP drive to add a restriction on send ing troops to Europe.
 The measure was then sent to the conferees for ironing out diff ferences between it and a Senate bill passed last month.
 The major differences in the two versions are these:
 1. The Senate voted to drop the minimum draft age to 18; the House to 1872. The present minimum is 19-
 D. The Senate voted to extend the period of obligatory military service from 21 to z4 months; the House stood pat for 26 months.
 3. The Senate put a top limit of 4,000, 900 on military manpower: the House imposed no ceiling.
 4. The Senate gave President Truman authority to institute a program of Universal Military Training when drafted men no lon ger are needed for military service as, distinguished from training. The Senate bill would make qualified 18- year-olds liable for UNIT service for six months at $30 month. The House fought over UNIT and then settled by approving creation of a bipartisan five member commission to make a report to Congress later on UNIT, with no inductions per mitted unless Congress passes a UNIT law.
 5. The Senate bill requires foul months of basic training before an inductee may be sent into combat area; the House bill says there should be six months.
 6. The House bill extends the draft law three years; the Senate extends it indefinitely. The present law expires July g.

MAG HAD PLANNED
 IN JAN. TO PULL
 ARMY OUT KOREA

CHICAGO, April IA, -RC Reyes Beech, Tokyo correspondent for the Chicago Daily News, says that Gen. MacArthur's military secretary told him in January that Macarthur wanted to pull his troops out of Korea and carry the war to China by naval and air blockade.
 This was after the fall of Seor' to the Communists for the second time and when American alo other U. N. ground forces were hard pressed.
 Beech's dispatch, published in the Daily News in January, was denied by officials in both Wash ington and Tokyo. He had quoted an authoritative source"
 Beech's dispatch today from An chorage, Alaska. as released by the Chicago Daily News said:
 T no longer see any point in holding back the fact that my source was Maj. Gen. Courtney Whitney,.
 Beech said Whitney, chief o1 SOAPS government section, also has been MacArthur's closest po- litical adviser for 10 years.
 Tt was generally agreed among Tokyo correspondents that when he spoke he spoke MacArthur's mind Beech said,

GENERAL TO BE HEARD
 JOINT MEET
Appropriate Welcome k Also Planned by Legis-
 Iators, Civic Leaders

WASHINGTON, April IA --tR--. General Douglas Macarthur is virt-. ually assured of a full hearing be- fore Congress next week and civic leaders here are planning welcome for the soldier fired by President Truman.
 Thorton w. Owens. president of the Washington Board of Trade called a noon meeting ,to plan an appropriate welcome for the gen. eral." He said he hoped "all eie-l ments of government will cooper- ate"
 Distinguished Welcome
 The Army said that unless Mac Arthur requests otherwise, he will be greeted by a ceremonial detail of troops, an Army band and a salute by battery of guns.
 Senator Hendrickson tR-NJ yes- terday offered a resolution to es- tablish Senate Committee to well come Macarthur to Washington.
 Prodded by President Truman, Democratic leaders cleared the way for approval Tuesday of formal invitation for the deposed Pacific commander to speak at joint meet ing of both Houses of Congress.
 Macarthur has indicated he would accept, but the timing of such an address still was uncertain.
 sdH Okeyed by Truman
 MT. Truman, who fired MacAr- thur "wednesday because of the gen. erals refusal to go along with presi- dential policies in the Far East, said in a White House statement:
 T am happy to learn from Speak CT Rayburn that Congress is plan ming to invite General Macarthur to address the members of both Houses. I regard it as fitting that Congress bestow this honor on ont of our great military men,"
 Different Views
 Chairman Russell (D-Ga), whose Senate Armed Services committed has invited MacArthur to testify 1T hearings beginning Wednesday called the Presidents gesture mag unanimous"
 But Senator Wherry of Nebraska the Republican floor leader, had different view.
 After the general was slapped lr' the face, the public reaction whicf' followed made it impossible for tns President to do anything else, Wherry told reporter.

 VASHINGTON.-It was not un- til about 11:15 Tuesday night that President Truman actually decided 10 issue his 1 am statement firing General MacArthur.
 The decisicn 10 make this mo- mentous step had already peen ta- ken, but the timing was set for Friday, not Tuesday :aidnighi And the reason for the sudden noctur- nal press announcement was a telephone call from Secretary of the Army Pace in Tokyo tipping off Truman that Macarthur plan ned to jump the gun and get out his own statement first.
 The President was still smart ing from an incident around March "A when MacArthur had jumped the gun on him, so naturally h9 was leery. He had sent MacAr- thur a policy statement for his perusal and personal reactior-a policy which the White House planned to announce as peace feeler to China. But Macarthur,

REDS 'SL0 w ALLIED PUSH, KOREA FRONT

TOKYO, Sunday = R - Fierce Red resistance slowed the Allied advance on the Western and Central Korean fronts to crawl Saturday. On the west coast, South Korean Marines - supported by United Ma tions Naval units were in control of virtually all of the Ongjin Penin- sula in North Korea.
 The peninsula juts into the Yel- low Sea south of Chinnampo, port for the Korean Communist capital of Pyongyang. A South Korean Navy announcement said the Re- publican Marines landed April 2 and seized the towns of Kumsan and Hwasan.
 New Red Divisions
 Eighteen additional Chinese Red divisions - up to 180,000 men in six Army corps if at full strength - were reported pouring into the western Communist defense sector below Pyongyang.
 This sizable buildup had been re- ported April Il by an Army spokes- man in Washington, but today's re- port generally located the new strength. If the estimate is right, It means the Reds have more than 6O0,00O troops massing on the Vest ern and Central fronts.
 A late front dispatch said Allied infantry and tank patrols crossing the Pukhan River valley west of Hwachon Reservoir drew wide spread enemy reaction"
 Burning Houses
 The Reds were reported burning houses behind their lines. This was not explained, but AP Correspond ent Tom Bradshaw reported 1t might be an effort to screen some Red activity.
 On the west coast, the South Koreans landed with the aid of the Korean Youth Corps and drove northward almost to Chinnampo. Chinnampo is about 60 miles north of the landing site.
 Allied troops under a new com mand advanced generally along the 120-mile front in North Korea Sat- urday but counted their gains in yards.
 Van Fleet in Command
 It. Gen. James A. Van Fleet ar rived Saturday in Korea and took over command of Allied ground forces from It. Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway.
 Ridgway left soon after and land ed after dark at Tokyo's Haneda airfield.
 Heavy Red Losses
 Ridgway relinquished command of the 9th Army after his troops smashed eight heavy Red counter attacks.
 It was the heaviest Red loss in a single day for weeks, with 4,275 killed and wounded.
 American troops on the Central front drove Reds from one of the key hill masses south of the HWa- chon Reservoir.
 The GIs. supported by thunder ing air and artillery bombardment seized Gibraltar Hill'' and routed remnants of Red Korean division from strong entrenchment.
