 AT SENATOR
Doesn't Mention Taft by Name But Attacks His
 Korean Viewpoint

WASHINGTON, May IT = tR = President Truman lashed out at Republican Senator Taft of Ohio to- day for seeking, as the President put it, to have this country Ego for an all-out war in China all by our- selves"
 Mir. Truman virtually discarded a written speech prepared for the Ma tional conference on Citizenship. He told his audience that one week of all-out war would cost this coun- try "10 to 20 times" what it is cost ing to rearm and contain the fight ing in Korea.
 We must have friends in this troubled yorld," the President ex- temporized. Some senators and some other people would have us 20 it alone"
 Indirect Reference
 This was an indirect reference to testimony by Gen. Douglas MacAr- thur, whom he busted from the Far Eastern commands last month.
 MT. Truman, appealing for strengthened price and rent con- trol legislation, said there was no question that Congress will vote a two-year extension of controls ex- piring June 30.
 He said the decision he and Con- gress will make on this, on defense rearming and on foreign aid ought to be above petty politics, because the welfare of the country depends on them"
 MT. Truman was greeted with standing applause as he entered the Presidential room of the Hotel Stat Ter with Mrs. Truman.
 Makes Plea
 He pleaded for consumers to put pressure on Congress for strong price and rent controls and for higher taxes.
 Never was there time when the right decisions were more necessary than at this time," he said.
 Even in departing from his text, the President did not refer to Sen ator Taft by name. In his prepared speech MT. Truman hung an fin vitation- n-to-war" tag on the Ohio senator's proposal to reduce the Armed Forces manpower goal by 50O,0 ,00O men.

 The AFL-Commercial Telegraph CTS Union said the workers were idle in a protest against supervis- ory personnel doing work assigned to union members in the Western Union-CTU contract.
 A company spokesman at Phil adelphia replied that it has been Western Union policy to train and re-train it's executive and super- visory personnel from time to time to keep them abreast of the latest developments in operations. This was being done when the union members walked off the job, he added.
 In New York, Western Union said in midday it will halt a supervis- ory training program in an effort to end the walkouts and meet un- ion objections.

Waves of Communists A. taek on Wide Front
 LIN Defenses Hold

By Associated Press

Main United Nations defenses held fast today against the onslaught of waves of attacking Chinese Com munists on the East Central Korean front.
 Chinese troops streamed through gap torn in South Korean lines south of Inje, but Allied forces rush ed up to plug the hole by night-fall.
 Hordes of Chinese stormed U. s. positions on the Central front but came off second best in many hill top action. Every time the Ameri- cans lost ground they counterat- tackled and regained 1t.
 The Chinese threw in 96.000 men in the 25-mile length of the East Central sector that was the hottest in today's fighting.
 The new Chinese drive had all the earmarks of fullscale offensive.
 Purpose of Drive
 AP Correspondent Nate Follow etzky said there were three possible reasons why the Reds began their attack in the mountainous East:
 1. It was diversionary attack to hide their main purpose-a blow at Seoul.
 2. Or it was the beginning of chain reaction that would explode all the way across the peninsula in the biggest Communist push yet.
 3. Or 1t was intended merely to drive UN forces out of North Korea on the east coast. the only place where they have toehold.
 Battle Lines Ablaze
 Field dispatches said the battle lines were ablaze all the way rom the east coast to Kapyong. near the center of the peninsula. South kor- cans in the east fell back swiftly then closed ranks for more de- termined stand.
 The heaviest blow was in the me Chunchon area where the Chinese were using six divisions numbering about 50,000 men.

 Since Senate hearings began on MacArthur's dismissal, there has been testimony from administra- tion men that this upset plans President Truman had been work ing out to propose cease fire.
 MT. Truman told reporters that Secretary of State Acheson had not urged the dismissal as some Repub- licans have contended He said Acheson actually urged caution at an April 6 meeting when he dis closed his intention to top ranking advisors.

Truman Hits All Profits
Attitude in Deals With j. ),
BY the Assoeioied Press

President Truman said yester-
day too many people dealing with
the Government assume that "the
United States should bear all the
risk arising out of such deal
ings."
Their attitude, he added, is that
they should receive all the prof
it's"
Mr.. Truman made the COM
ment in a statement announcing
he would not sign a measure to
pay a $40. .403.65 claim of the Bank
OF America National Trust & Saw
ings, Association. This repre-
sented the net loss sustained by
the bank in connection with loans
it granted during World War II
to finance operations of San Jose
Manufacturers, Inc.
The loans were granted under a
regulation by which the Federal
Government assumed 80 per cent
of any losses which might be sus-
tained by the bank.
Mr.. Truman said the effect of
the legislation to pay the claim
would be to make the United
States insurer of all the losses
the bank sustained and would
establish an extremely undesir-

OPS Tells Employees
To Curb Discussion
OF Pending Actions
BY the Associoted Press

Office of Price Sterilization en-
p}oyeS have been barred from dis
cussing any of the agency's ac-
tions which have not received
final approval"
Price Stabilizer Michael v. Di-
Sale issued the policy order yes
terday. He said emphatically it
would not gag" OPS personnel
as news sources.
Max r. Hall, OPS public infor-
nation chief, said he doesn't
think the order will prevent OPS
offlcials from discussing develop
ments in price regulations provid-
ing they proceed carefully in cases
where final approval is still lack
ing.
Reviewed by White House Aide.
Mr.. Hall said the new order was
reviewed by White House aide
before it was issued. It replaces
an earlier OPS staff bulletin which
President Truman required the
agency to recall about two hours
after it was issued.
The original bulletin aroused q
storm of protest from newspapers
and Congressman. 1t instructed
OPS employees throughout the
country not to make public any
information which might cause
embarrassment to OPS"
Newspaper editors viewed this
as a form of censorship.
Clarifies Earlier Bulletin.
In issuing the new policy state
ment, Mr.. Disable said:
1T is of the greatest importance
that the public not be misled by
statements of employees regarding
OPS actions which have not re-
ceived final approval.
Confusion, inconvenience and
even unwarranted financial loss
may result to businessman who
takes action based upon a per-
sonaa opinion of an OPS employe
II 1t subsequently develops that
the personal opinion does not
coincide with the official action
OF the agency"
Mr.. Hall said the new policy
statement is meant to clarity the
intent OF the earlier bulletin.
