o-VIodivostok Line
Cut by Attack of B-2os

The Air Force has announced
that rail lines linking North Korea
with the Russian base at Vladivos-
tok were cut in the B-29 attack
on the city of Rashin, II miles
from the Soviet border.
A Pentagon press briefing officer
said aerial photographs showed
that 81 per cent of the bombs
dropped by 35 Superforts hit
Rashin's marshalling yards and
blasted all rail lines heading south
toward the Korean battle area.
Gen. Macarthur was denied
permission to attack the big Red
base after an aerial strike last
August. The State Department
warned that there was danger OF
involvement with the U. S. S. r
If an American plane should mis-
takenly fly over Russian soil. The
Joint Chiefs of Staff then ruled
Rashin out of bounds.
According to the brief1ng officer
the Communists have taken ad-
vantage of this sanctuary status
and have increased the use of the
rail hub as supply and trans
shipment point. He would not say
whether more strikes at this target
are being planned.

The name Of Chairman Con-

from the American group. He
has indicated he considers it in
advisable for him to leave WASH

pending in the Senate. This also
might deter Senator George, Dem

Senator Connally, with Mr..

Destroying A Free Press
DESTROYING A FREE PRESS

The Iron Curtain countries have totally destroyed
anything even remotely resembling a free press within
ther own borders. Now they are trying to make certain
that no news concerning them, save for official govern
ment handouts, reaches the rest of the world. That is
about the only logical deduction that can be drawn from
Czechoslovakia's conviction of William N. Oats. an A.
merlcan and an Associated Press correspondent, on charg-
es OF spying out state secrets" and reporting Islander
and lies" and his sentencing to 10 years in prison. So far
as can be ascertained, Mr.. Oats "crime' consisted of trv-
ing to 90 his job properly. He did what every good report
er IN every free country does every day-that is. he
sought and reported the news. AS is customary with every
press service, his superiors in the APP organization gave
him assignments and he did his best to carry them ont
lhese assignments were in no way unusual, and none of
them could be considered Spying" as that word is un-
derstood in the Western world. But in the Communist
world' spying means anything which displeases the
head OF state. The laws are SO drawn that anyone. citizen
or foreigner, can be severely punished for saying and writ
ing tnlngs which wouldn't cause an eyebrow to be lifted
elsewhere.

Treat A Man Like A Man!
(From Christian Advocate)


Harold H. Martin, writing in the June 1e issue of
. the Saturday Evening Post, under the title, "How Do Our
Negro Troops Measure Up?" makes the point that the
Korean combat record of the all-Negro 24th Infantry is
bad, but that of colored soldiers in mixed battalions is
good. He tells how segregation at the front ~deprives the
United Nations forces of some first-class fighting men.
Although Mr.. Martin pointed out that Negro soldiers
in segregated divisions had fought with notable gallantry
in some instances, the experiment as a whole had not
been very successful. On the whole, his morale had been
considerably low and he was not willing to stand under
extreme pressure.
Mr.. Martin reports a hard-fighting Negro captain as
having explained that 'the trouble is you take a man
who, in his own country has always been treated as a
second-class citizen, and you call upon him to fight as
a firstclass soldier. You talk to him about democracy,
and liberty, and how these things are worth fighting for.
But the words don't mean the same to him as they mean
to a white soldier who has always been free. you put
him in a white regiment, and he looks around him and
sees white men and black men both, and he feels in his
heart, Now they are treating me like an American, not
like a Negro b. you put him in a Negro regiment and
he looks around him and sees nothing but Negroes, and
he feels that he is being treated not as an American
soldier, but as a Negro soldier. And all the psychological
i%nhibitions he has inherited through generations of living
as a race apart-the lack Of faith in himself, lack of con-
fidence in his own race-take hold of him and he is hard
to handel"
On the basis of a series of experiments, Mr.. Martin
reports, white officers from every section of the United
States expressed the conviction that the only way to get
the best fighting out of Negro soldiers is to integrate
them, man for man, into the white troops. Under such
conditions they fight as we'll as any other soldier.
With all of the tragedies accompanying warfare,
could this not be one value achieved-namely, that when
we treat a man as a man, he responds as a man.

Dock Union's S Offices

SYDNEY, Australia. May 90
Federal security police yesterday
raided dockworkers union Offices
in Sydney and Melbourne. Gov
ernment officials limited that a
showdown with Communicated
unions in Australia and New Zeal
and was at hand.
When news of the raids spread
in Sydney about 5000 waterside
workers walked off ships.
The security police seized car
loads 81 books and documents in
cluding correspondence between
Australian and the Red-angled
New Zealand dockers' union, which
has been out on strike since Feb
ruary is.
Melbourne waterside workers
earlier refused to handle any Ship
ping in or out of New Zealand in
sympathy with the New Zealand
ers, whom Prime Minister Sidney
G. Holland said in Wellington
yesterday are being directed "by

This brought forth a warning
from Australia's Prime Minister
