On Wage Boosts
is Proposed
Proposal Will Go to
Special Session of
Board Tonight
By james Y. Newton

The Wage Sterilization Board
today was ready to consider a
general policy proposal hat would
permit pay increases not exceed
ing 9 per cent from a base date
of January Is, 1850.
Worked out by the public mem
bers as a compromise of the views
of labor and industry as to the
size of a wage control formula,
the proposal will be presented to
a special session of the board at
8 pm. tonight.
Officials expected the nine
member board would vote on the
9 per cent proposal at the meet
ing. Labor and industry members
were discussing the proposition
with their principles tonight, If
either side decides to go along
with the three public members,
the proposal will be submitted for
approval of Economic Stabilizer
Eric Johnston.
Three-Way Split.
A three-way split among mem
bers of the board. headed by
Chairman Cyrus S. Ching, has de-
layed formulation of a general
wage control policy for more than
week.
Meanwhile, hundreds of labor
management new contract nego-
tiations have been held up pend
ing announcement of an increase
formula since all wages were
frozen by the Government jan
uary 26.
The new per cent proposal
would apply only to wages and
salaries and would not include
any so-called fringe" benefits
such as pensions and welfare pay
ments.
Further Wage Adjustment.
Under this idea. a further adj
justment of wages would be per-
mitted based on the Governments
living cost index of April Is, which
would be completed about May Is.
1t is probable that the adjustment
would be upward, since price con-
troll officials have said they expect
costs to continue their upward
movement for several months.
Labor members of the board
have proposed a formula permit
ting total pay increases of IL per
cent for the period from May,
1850, to December IS, 1850, with
cost of living adjustments each
month after that.
The three industry members
want limit of per cent, includ-
ing everything that has been
granted workers by their en-
ployers since January, 1850. It
would include such fringe items as
pensions, welfare and insurance.

U.S. TO SEND ONLY a DIVISIONS TO EUROPE
Text of Marshall Statement

The tert OF Gen. Marshalps
statement today before the
Senate Foreign Relations and
Armed SerDiceS Committees:
In regard to the question un-
der consideration this morning,
it seems to me that fundamentally
the real issue is what should we
do, the United States, in our own
self interest as a Nation.
Whatever we do in the way of
giving military assistance to West
ern Europe naturally requires the
wholehearted support of the Ma
ton. The trouble seems to be
somewhat state of confusion in
the public mind, and for evident
reasons, as to just what the sit
uation is and, more specifically,
what are the military necessities.
In one sense. this is not a new
issue for you gentlemen to be dis
cussing in this room because many
of you considered much the same
issue when the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee was consid-
ering the Vandenberg resolution,
IS. r. 239 of the 80th Congress.
Issue Considered Before.
Much the same issue also was
before you a few months earlier
when I was called to testify here
in support of the European Re-
covery Program.
The action of the Senate in
1949 when it voted 50 to 13 in
favor of the North Atlantic treaty.
and then SIS to "a in favor of the
military aid program was, 7 took
it to be, a confirmation of the
view that the independence of
the North Atlantic Community of
Nations was of vital Importance
not only to the further develop
ment of free and democratic gov
ernments but also to the security
of this country. To be more Spe-
cific, in enacting the military aid
program, your committee added
to the basic legislation a require
ment that the bulk of the funds
to carry out the program would
not be available until there had

Relief Column
Fights Way tc
Allies
Chinese Are Routed
As Force Smushes
Siege of Chipyong
By the Associated Press

TOKYO, Feb. 15.-An Allied
relief column smashed through a
Chinese Red ring today to rein
force American and French forces
holding the Chipyong anchor On
the central Korean warfront.
The relief force battled eight
hours before breaking through to
the Chipyong perimeter at $50
pm. $3.50 am. EST. The action
began S miles South-southwest of
the town.
The hard-hit Chinese finally
broke and ran.
Chipyong, 35 air miles east
southeast of Seoul, is the left
flank anchor of a 20-mile Allied
defense line stretching over snow
mantled hills and valleys to Won
ju, key to the central mountain
passes.
2 Days of Attacks Repulsed.
The American French garrison
stoutly withstood two days of
massed Red infantry assaults to
help break the back of the drive
aimed at cracking the central
front. The Communist push was
stopped yesterday.
Red casualties were counted at
l0,593 on all fronts yesterday. 1t
brought to nearly 100000 those
killed. wounded or captured since
the Allied limited push by hunter
killer columns began January 25.
Associated Press War Core
spondent John Randolph reported
the Chipyong garrison radioed
that the Chinese were fleeing
in all directions" after the relief
column rammed through from the
south.
However, Associated Press War
Correspondent William J. Waugh
reported more than 1000 Reds
were dug in on high ground north
Of the town.
400 Chinese Wiped Out.
On the Western front, American
doughboys and artillery wiped out
400 Chinese who sneaked across
the Han River last night near
Seoul.
1t was the second consecutive
and disastrous Red attempt to
cross the icy stream near the
burned-out former capital. More
than 1,100 Korean Reds were
killed there in foray early yes
terday.
The Chinese, creeping across on
a railroad bridge, entrenched
themselves on a, hill 2l2 miles
southeast of Seoul. At daybreak,
big guns of the United States Sd
Infantry Division pounded the hill
and infantrymen opened up at
closer range.

line platoon leader, said 200 Chi
nese survivors broke and fled for
the Han in panic. Not one
reached the river alive, he added.
Allies Counterattack.
Elsewhere on the frigid front
Allied forces were making limited
counterattacks. Associated Press
War Correspondent Tom Brad
shaw reported American troops,
attacking with hand grenades,
took high ground northeast of
Kyongan, II miles southeast of
Seoul.
The Reds tried twice to retake
the hill-No. 578, named for its
height in meters-but had not
succeeded by noon today.
The mounting toll of Chinese
and Korean Reds rose even higher
from unceasing attacks by Allied
war planes. United States 5th
Air Force bombers and fighters
flew a record 696 sorties in clear
weather today.
Most flights were in close sup
port of ground units which had
successfully rolled with the Red
punch between Wonju and Chip
yong towns.

on Foreign Relations and Armed
Services that President Truman
has approved the recommendation
of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to
station six divisions in Europe
including the two divisions al
ready on occupation duty in Ger
many.
The unexpected revelation OF
this moderate contingent appeared
to take much of the steam out of
the controversy which has been
brewing in the so-called great
debate" over the issue.
Questioned Two Hours.
Twenty-siX members of the two
committees questioned Gen. Mar
shall for two hours. There was
no outright opposition to the four
division plan, although Senator
Byrd, Democrat, of Virginia took
the lead in stressing the right of
Congress to pass on the policy.
Highlights of the opening ses-
sion were:
l. Secretary Marshall saw no
objection to Congress passing a
resolution approving the general
policy, but advised against any
limitations. which he said would
hamper Gen. Eisenhower and Off
set the value of the American
troops as morale force.
2. Chairman Russell of the
Arr.ed Services Committee said
that if the four division an
nouncement had been made some
time ago this whole discussion in
Congress would have been cir
cumscribed."
3. Senator Lyndon johnson.
Democrat, of Texas obtained from
Gen. Marshall the estimate that
the supporting units that would
have to accompany four more di-
visions would make the number
OF men 100000. Can American
Army division consists of about
$4,000 men,
Wherry Not Present.
4. Senator Sparkmans Demo-
crat, of Alabama asked the Sec
retary if he felt free to say when
the troops would go to Europe.
The general said he would rather
not. adding that he has been talk
ing about this calendar year.
5. Senator KnoWland, Republi-
can, of California insisted that, as
one who favors sending some
troops, he sees no objection to
Congress declaring that any fu-
ture American contingents would
have to be on a fixed ratio of one
division for every four or five
raised in Europe. Secretary Mar
shall argued against any fixed
ratio.
6. Chairman Connally of the
Foreign Relations Committee
presiding. took Senator Wherry,
Republican. of Nebraska to task
for not being present, instead of
out making political speeches." !"
His remark was prompted by a
request by Senator KnoWland to
have Secretary Marshall submit
answers later to 81 questions sent
to the hearing by Senator Wherry.

Emphasizing that the $136 mil
lion budget for 1852 is an increase
of $16,755,119 over the current
appropriations for this fiscal year,
Mr.. Groom said "the District

levels or even reduce it" to give
taxpayers relief.
Proposed legislation for the Air
