GONE OF the most impor-
" tant duties which this
Office has been called upon to
perform during the fiscal year
just ended was the work in
connection with the opening of
the Cherokee Outlet"
AS calmly as that. the COM
missioner of the General Land
Office. in his annual reports de-
scribed the most fantastic STAN
pede for homestead land in
American history-the Okla
homa land rush of 1893.
But the official language of a
Government report could barely
hint at the feverish excitement
of that event.
More than 10000 persons
swarmed into Oklahoma that
year to seek a home on the
6.5-million-acre Cherokee strip
relinquished by the Indians. 1t
was opened for settlement at
precisely noon of a broiling
September Is. 1893.
Months before, land fever
swept the Nation. Newspaper
stories magnif1ed the fertility
and value of the strip. Rail-
roads played up the opening
and sold tickets by the thou
sands.
Orlando, Okla. now a genteel
community of several thousand.
was one focal point in the land
rush.
Weeks before the Cherokee
strip opened Orlando blossomed
with implanted shacks and acres
of wagons as humanity poured
in. Every train brought hun
dreds. clinging from the roofs
and tanning the cars. End
less wagon trains creaked In.
Thousands swarmed upon the
frontier shack-town on horse
back. on foot and even on
bicycles.
There were bankrupt busl-
neSsmen, New England farmers
and confused immigrants. Hope
full young men. ex-Soldiers.
prostitutes. thieves and lawyers
answered the powerful lure of
land-free land.
A few days before the strip
was opened. the old General
Land Office set up nine booths
where would-be homeSteaders
had to register. Within hours.
the number of booths was
doubled and trebled.
Soldiers patrolled the length
and breadth of the 10000 square
miles of earth to keep out the
over-anxiouS attempting to slip
in before the lands officially
were thrown open.
A week before the opening.
the weather turned oppressively
hot. Drought, duststorms.

The parallel of the years is
clear, but his force today is not
completely back at a Bataan.
In the hot Philippine winter of
1912, American and Filipino forces
were smashed against the butt
end of the Bataan peninsula by a
japanese attacker that outgunned
them, outmanned them. and con-
trolled the sea and air.
The Americans prayed for re-
Inducements or relief that never
came.
In the bitterly cold Korean
winter of 1851, the Allied forces
again are being cramped against
the boot of a peninsula. They
too. may never see the reinforce
ments they need against the waves
of manpower rolling southwark.
They do control the sea and
the air, and as long as they do,
the ground forces never will be
left behind.
Yet this is scant consolation
for fighting men and their COM
mander who once thought they
had won the campaign and were
talking of the day they could leave
the inhospitable battle-ground into
which the Communists had drawn
them.

WASHINGTON, Va, Jan. 90
Mayor Dorothy Cox Davis and her
all-woman town council have
proved again that the life of the
housewife is not all drudgery-
and this time they get music, too.
The Virginia Symphony Orches-

School:
THE focus of national attention
on the petticoat government here
was the controlling factor in the
decision to choose Washington
and it's natural scenic beauty as
the permanent location of the
orchestra's summer theater."
Washington won out over some
nearby competitors, including Cul-
peper and Luray.
Mrs. Davis and the six town
councilwomen were elected last

Butler Urges Nation
To Strengthen Force
In Korea or Get Out

A proposal to withdraw United
States forces from Korea unless
they can be strengthened was
made here last night by Mary
lands new Republican Senator
Butler.
Speaking before the Washing
ton Post of the 29th Division at
the Washington Hotel, the Sena-
tor also strongly advocated cuts
in non-defense spending and
voiced opposition to the drafting
of 18-year -olds.
OF Korea, he declared: Unless
the military strategists can in
crease our forces with help from
other United Nations countries to
an extent where we will have a
fighting chance of victory I am
inclined to follow the pleas of
the people who have written me
on this subject and to demand
our withdrawal.
Regarding the drafting of 49,
year-olds, he said he thought that
age is too young" He was 19, he
said, when he enlisted in World
War I.
AS for Government spending
"we must begin now to cut down.
We must keep America free"
Speaking of his service on the
District Committee, he said he
welcomed it. He told the conven-
ton: Il intend to lend my efforts
to see that District authorities and
Maryland officials work hand in
glove on all problems affecting
this area"

Gen. Macarthur worked 365

meeting with President Truman.
He has not had a vacation since
before the Pacific War. when, at
retirement age, he was hurtled
to historic heights by the West

Asia.
Those who know him are con-
vinced that he is working now
on a way to capitalize on the
Korean toehold. Whether he is
able to do so will depend on
major international decisions. His
job is only to work out the
strategy.
He hates retreat and he hates
defeat. He is defiant of adver-
sity. He feels his command re-

Macarthur, 9 Years After Botoon, Will Mark
77st Birthday Friday in Another Era of Crisis
Historic PuruIIeI
Is Noted Between
Winters of 2 Wars
By Russell Brines

TOKYO, jan. 20.-Next Fri
day, nine years after Bataan, Gen.
Macarthur observes another birth
day amid the irony of historic
parallel.
He will be II on a wintry day
of uncertainty, as his. United Ma
tions forces fight stubbornly on
the Korean Peninsula.
American and Allied forces had
escaped a bloody Chinese Red
trap in the north, but it was
nonetheless a CALLING retreat for
proud men.
For the tall, craggy command
ing general. his list birthday will
be distinguished only by a brief
ceremony at his home in Tokyo.
where he will receive the custom
airy surprise handmade gift from
his son, Arthur.
Little Time for Well Wishing.
Otherwise it will be work as
usual at his headquarters Office.
with little time for well-wishing
or more than a few formal calls.
Less than three months ago the
first United Nations force in his
tory was reaching for the south
bank of the Yalu River to signify
the liberation Of all Korea. Then.
in almost an instant, triumph
was turned into a bitter but f.
nally successful battle for sur
vival.
Communist China had started
the new war" that Gen. Mac
Arthur had predicted but appar.
emily had not really expected.
On Defensive in Two Ways.
The attack put Macarthur on
the defensive both as a general
and as an individual.
His armies have lost well over
$50 miles in a gigantic retreat be-
fore the tremendous flood of
Chinese manpower across SCARED
Korea.
The withdrawal was masterful.
The bulk of the U. N. force re-
mains equipped and in fighting
trim.
Since the Chinese push began.
however, Gen. Macarthur, one of
CommuniSm's most realistic foes,
has been called on repeatedly to
explain why he did not anticipate
the new Red attack.
The Chinese threw into reverse
an Allied win -the-war" offensive
began November "a. Gen.
Macarthur says this assault was
necessary to determine Chinese
because military intelli-
gence could not adequately assess
them.
Caught in Surge He Predicted.
He has been caught in the same
Red imperialistic surge which, al
most alone, he has been trying to
tell the United States for five years
was inevitable in Asia.

ton, Gaping a year of heavy

confidence and poise than at any
time in the past two months.
Less than a week short of his
list birthday, the U. N. COM
mander appeared fresh and well
groomed after his hour and one
half visit to Gen. Ridgway's head
quarters.
The visit itself-his eighth to
Korea since the war began-was
described as routine"
It was similar to other quick
trips he has made to field head
quarters except that it conceded
with a relative lull on the battle
field and closely followed pub
hshed reports that Gen. Mac
Arthur was losing authority over
frontline troops.
This stirred speculation here
that one purpose of the trip at
this time was to show he still was
boss.
Defends Offensive Again.
The general also took occasion
again to defend his ill-fated lend
the war" offensive of last No
vember.
"By its timely action in expos
ing to frontal attack Chinese po-
litical decisions and the military
preparedness in the forward bat
tie area" the general said, "the
Army was saved from severe loss
or possible destruction :"
mo amount of emotional soph-
1stry in the aftermath of battle
can alter the salient facts or cloud
the professional judgment ar
rived at by commanders in the
field"
This too, was stinging reply to
recent criticism of his command,
published in the United States.
Gen. Macarthur has said be-
fore that his offensive forced the
Chinese to attack prematurely and
therefore blunted their force.
2 Alternatives Seen.
He did not suggest the possible
alternatives open to international
diplomats, but the intimation was
there are only two:
/. Recognize China's belliger-
ency, or
2. Pull out completely from
Korea.
There was little apparent sup
port in the statement for the kind
Of holding war now under way
even though Gen. Macarthur said
his army could continue it in
definitely.
Upon returning to Tokyo, Gen.
Macarthur said his statement
needed no elaboration.
Everything is there" as an ex-
preston of his current views, he
said.
Gen. Macarthur did not conceal
the bitterness with which he re-
garded Chinese intervention in
the last phase of the war with the
Korean Reds.
His forces, he said, were sud
denly confronted with the foul
and stealthy stroke of new and
far stronger predatory force"
He described the Chinese Of
fensive as "sneak attack" which
was "far more infamous than the
Japanese attack upon Pearl Har-
bor."
