plant last night against the
$55,000 fee for attorneys who
fought successfully to prevent an

Judge T. Alan Goldsborough au-
thorized the fee, plus about $l2,-
600 in expenses, to Herbert P.
Leeman, Vernon v. Baker and
the law firm of William A. Rob-

81, owner of the Club Bali, 1901
Fourteenth street NV, will gt
on trial alone in District Court

pering in a gambling case.
The gambling case, tried early

stroke. Both Caldwell and Gary
are colored.
In holding that Caldwell must

jury panel who was not a trial
juror, to obtain information from
the trial jury. Caldwell also is
accused of causing" a sum to be
offered to a juror to influence her
decision.

LIN FORCES HOPPING UP
 EAST FRONT
Iron Triangle" Has Fallen 10 Tank Forces = Reds
 May Plan New Defense
By Associated Press

Three long columns of Reds fled through East Koreas mountains to- day to escape being trapped by AL lied tanks rumbling through their fallen iron triangle"
 Stout new defense lines protected the Reds retreat from the East Central front.
 United Nations troops mopped up Reds in hills around captured Chor- won and Kumhwa. The towns form sd the southern anchors of the Pyonggang valley iron triangle buildup area. Chinese headed for the hills on each side of the valley.
 American tanks striking up roads from the triangle to the east coast would cut squarely across the Red escape route from the Eastern front. While Reds were pulling back from he fighting fronts, unverified re- ports cropped up that they were building up new forces only 30 miles northwest of Seoul. The buildup was reported in the Kaesong-ko- rangpo area.
 This is near the foot of the Al- fed Western flank. This flank drags southwest of the main front. It reaches from Chorwon to point S6 miles to the southwest, running roughly along the banks of the Inn jim river, N 4 s'gsss;.s
 While the LIN counterattack has pushed northward along a narrow .ng front. patrols have probed this long flank daily for signs of Red strength.
 The jagged northern front mas been cut to about 75 miles. AL the height of the Communist spring oi- fensive it was 125 miles long.

WASHINGTON. = Big, balding Louey Johnson has taken his demise as Secretary of Defense with far better grace than most men who are bounced from the cabinet. An other who served in that post cracked up. Others have sulked or turned against the President.
 Johnson, however, has not. In fact, he recently had friendly talk with the man who fired him, Harry s. Truman-partly as result of a radio broadcast.
 For a time, the Republicans were confident they had Louey Johnson in their corner. They were especial ly jubilant when the MacArthur hearings started, for they counted on Johnson as a star witness against the administration. Supposedly it was all set for him to testify re- garding his talks with MacArthur in Tokyo.
 But when word to this effect was forecast on the air by this newscas- ter, Brig. Gen. Louis Renfrow who

Wedenleyer Testifying
 Second Day
Says Request for American Forces in Manlhurid
 Was Turned Down

WASHINGTON, June 12 -R- It. Gen. Albert C Wedemeyer tes- tified today that he asked for seven American divisions to safeguard Manchuria from Russian penetra- tion afaer Jspan's defeat but was turned down by Gen. Douglas Mac Arthur.
 Wedemeyer at that time was US commander in China.
 Testifying for the second day at the Senate inquiry into MacArthurs dismissal Wedemeyer said he want ed to employ the American troops in Manchuria ito preclude unilateral action on the part of the Soviet in that area until the situation sta bilized."
 He said another purpose he had in mind was to secure the arms of the Japanese troops in ManchurAa for the Chinese Nationalist forces and so keep them out of the hands Of the COIQIIltIllSlS.
 Request Denied
 His request for the seven o.o divisions was referred to MacAr- thur as the Far East commander Wedemeyer said Macarthur was un- certain about how the Japanese would react to the occupation of their homeland and declined to make the troops available.
 Wedemeyer also said he believes the Korean war could have been averted if a LIN trusteeship over Manchuria had been set up as he recommended in 194i.
 If that advice had been followed, he said, Manchuria would not now be "a Satellite of the Soviet"
 His recommendation was made in his 1947 report of conditions in Chi na and Korea.
 Report Kept Secret
 The administration kept the re- port secret for many months. The section on Korea was made public only last May 1.
 Secretary of Defense Marshall has testified that he withheld the re- port from publication. He said one reason was the recommendation for "a LIN trusteeship over Manchuria.
 The feeling was, Marshall said, that the Chinese Nationalists would take offense at that recommenda- ton.
 Now commander of the U. s. 9th Army, with headquarters at San Francisco, Wedemeyer has applied for retirement. He is 55.
 Policies Criticized
 In his first day in the witness chair, he sharply criticized the Tru- man administrations Korean war policies and said he would favor withdrawing U s. troops from Korea and breaking off diplomatic rela- tions with Russia and her Satellites. It was the 33rd day of the hearing. When the general came back to- day before the inquiry panel-made up of the Senate Armed Services
