Charity Ball Will Be
Held At Salisbury
Lions Are Sponsoring Gala Affair
On New Years Eve

Those who attend the Charity
Ball to be held New Years Eve will
be assured a seat and table space,
says Vic Davis, President of the
Salisbury Lions Club. Sale of tick
cts will be limited to a comfortable
crowd of just 300 couples.
Twenty-Five years ago the Sails
bury Lions Club put on their first
New Years Eve Charity Ball. This
ball was quite successful and in
come from it was very helpful addi-
ton TO the Lions Club Charity Fund
used largely in sight conservation
work. This Charity Ball has become
a Salisbury institution and the 22nd
consecutive New Years Eve Ball
will be held again this year at the
Salisbury ArmOry.
Records of the organization in
its early stages are incomplete;
however. during the past 10 years
the Salisbury Lions Club has pur-
/ chased more than 500 pairs of
glasses. Ninety percent of these for
children and ten percent for adults.
Besides many examinations and
other sight conservation proceed
ures. In several instances the
Charity Fund of the Lions Club has
been the means whereby cataract
operations were performed and an
otherwise seriously handicapped
/ person was able to return TO a nor
NAL life. Increased costs now make
! it necessary that the sum budgeted
be doubled that of the 1905.
The Lions Club President, Vic
Davis. reports sight conservation
is a major project of the Salisbury
Lions Club. 1t is one of the most
worthwhile things the organization
can do, and the organization will
continue to increase and expand its
sight conservation work.

Use of Monchurio
To Protect Bases
By the Associated Press

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. May
|19.-Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway
told the United Nations today that
U. N. air forces have complete
dominance of the Korean skies,
despite the increasing number of
Russian-built MIG jet planes.
Gen. Ridgway's statement was
in his first regular report on the
Korean military situation since he
succeeded Gen. Macarthur as
U. N. commander. Covering the
period April 1 to April Is, Gen.
IRidgway concluded his report with
these words:
"On II April 1851. eight months
and 18 days after the activation
of the United Nations command
for the prosecution of the Korean
effort, General of the Army Doug
las Macarthur relinquished COM
mand to the undersigned"
Reds Have Lost Heavily.
Gen. Ridgeway made no direct
reference to Gen. MacArthur's
controversial demand for authori-
zation to bomb Manchurian bases,
but he did stress the Communist
use of Manchurian territory as a
protected base for operations
against the U. N.
The U. N. commander reported
most of the air battles during the
first half of April took place in
the general Sinuiju-Sinaju area
ito which the enemy has restrict
ed his operations by basing his
short-range jets in Manchuria.
Despite the advantage of the
haven north of the Yalu," he said

At another point Gen. Ridgway
said:
! Intelligence reports indicate
there is much air training activ-
ity in various areas of China and
Manchuria.
He reported the Communists also
were making extreme efforts to
maintain their airfields in North
Korea despite continued U. N. at
tacks. He interpreted these efforts
as indicating the Communists in

tend their air activities to areas

Truman Appeals
For Unity, Wiley
Hits 'Whitewash'
President DepIores
Petty Politics. Calls
On People to Help Him
By John A. Giles

President Truman's assertion
that I'VE must quit playing petty
politics" contrasted sharply today
with a Republican Senator's
"whitewash" charge against Dem
ocrats in the Macarthur contro-
verSy.
Mr.. Truman told the second
National Armed Forces Day dinner
at the Hotel Statler last night
that I'VE are fighting for time IN
Korea" and the casualties there
would be but lone small drop in
the bucket" compared with casual
ties from one of those horrible
bombs of which we talk so much.
"Think-think-think what re-
Isponsibility your President faces
in a situation of this kind" he
declared in an informal talk. "If
you would think, and think clearly
on this subject. you would get De-
hind me and help me to win this
peace.
"And that is what I am asking
you to do. And that is what our
armed forces are in the field to
do. 1t is up to you.
No Mention of Macarthur.
"You must quit your pickering
here at home. you must quit play
ing petty politics"
Neither the President nor De-
fense Secretary Marshall, who
Ialso spoke, made any mention of
Mr.. Truman's dismissal of Gen.
Macarthur from his Pacific COM
mands. Their remarks were
broadcast to the troops in the Far
East.
A few hours before the Presi-
dent spoke Senator Wiley, Re-
publican, Of Wisconsin. charged
that a majority Of the Joint SEN
ate committee investigating the
Macarthur case had a frantic
desire to cover up and white
wash"
|, Although the Senator directed
his remarks-in letter to Chair
man Russell. Democrat, of Georgia
at the committee majority" his
office later told reporters that he
was talking about Democrats on
the investigating group. He wrote
that the inquiry may wind up as
mot only whitewash but a wash
out"
"Defeatism Is Dissipated."
Gen. Marshall, who preceded
Mr.. Truman as a speaker at the
dinner, said the military effort in
Korea had "diSsipate6 the defeat
ism of year ago" and had given
new life to the United Nations,
the North Atlantic Treaty Or
ganization and the free world gen.
orally.
He said that the fight has "seri-
ously damaged the prestige
and armies of Red China" i'm
proved the situations in Indo-
China and Malays and "invigo-
rated" the defense system of the
entire Pacific. At home, he said
the stand of the troops in Korea
has provided both time and in
SEPARATION for mobilization ION an
impressive scale"
i Mr.. Truman alluded to the
Macarthur controversy indirectly
when he said that never had there
been body as united as the
executive branch and that it wa!
up to the other branches of the
Government to do likewise.
He said his whole aim in the
last 512 years had been to get &
lasting peace and added thi,
