Macarthur assured Truman that he could finish the job in North Korea in 6 short time. According to the stenographic notes he said:
 Il hope to be able to have the 8th Army back in Japan by Christ mas l may be able to send a con- voy into Pyongyang immediately" :"
 At this point President Truman asked: What about Chinese inter- vention?"
 MacArthur's reply was: They could have intervened earlier when it would have been decisive, but that time has passed. We are no longer fearful of their intervention. Although there are several hund- red thousand along the Yalu River, it is not likely that they could cause us much trouble"
 He also Inferred that he could take care" of the Chinese, even if they decided to cross the Yalu River.
 At the same time that Mac Arthur described his plans for con- pleting the conquest of Korea, he also argued against keeping Amer ican troops in Korea.

 Pearce said that Kenneth Scholz, r, had signed a statement admit ting the staying. He said Scholz related that he killed Billy because he was afraid the younger boy would tell about being held captive in a shack behind the Scholz home.
 Sheriff Ernest E. Overbey said he would question the youth further about the case, particularly a motive for the staying. Overbey said Scholz earlie,' had stated orally that he had abused Billy sexually but later denied having made such a state merit.

NATIONAL THRIFT WEEK

National Thrift Week, which began last Wednes- day. January IT, ends tomorrow, January 23. Although national recognition is only for one week should make it thrift lifetime. We should revaluate our personal economy and understand the part that a balanced personal economy plays in balanced na- tional economy.
 Thrift pays generous dividends especially when observed the year round.
 There is a drastic need today for the curtailment of unnecessary extravaganza not only the part of the government but individuals Only expenditures necessary the security and welfare of us should be made in this time of international turmoil.

Soldier Doesn't Want Parents
To See Him as Triple Amputee
Puerto Ricun Lost
Both Legs and Right
Arm in Korea

A 22-year-old Puerto Rican
soldier, both legs off at the knee
and his right arm gone. has left
the Korean conflict behind him
but his first thought Is to save his
parents the shock of seeing him
as a triple amputee.
Corpl. Angel Gomez, now in
Walter Reed Hospital here, poured
$500 rounds of ammunition into
Chinese Red troops on a North
Korean hill before a mortar shell
tore into his machine gun nest.
II just got my machine gun set
up when they began firing at us" !"
he said. 1--WE didn't have foxholes
but I started shooting and used up
about 10 boxes of ammo. Then
my gun got so hot it smoked and
gave away our position. They hit
us with mortar shell, wounded
me and my assistant gunner and
killed my first ammunition car
Irier."
Inspiration to Others.
He intends to be up and about
before he next sees his mother
in Puerto Rico. even though best
guesses place his recovery and
use of artificial limbs at several
months. He's counting on June.
THAT boy is an inspiration to
every patient in the hospital now" "
said the chaplain at Walter Reed.
Corpl. Gomez arrived at Walter
Reed in December and at first was
in such a grave condition that
no one except doctors and nurses
saw much of him. AS his con-
dition improved, however, he won
many new friends.
Corpl. Gomez, before entering
the Army, lived for six years with
an aunt in Baltimore, Mrs. Anna
Maria Rivera, who comes to see
him often. Recently the chaplain
received a contribution to help
Mrs. Rivera defray the costs of
her visits to the hospital.
The doctors said that with
both legs amputated above the
knees, Corpl. Gomez scarcely
could hope to walk again on
artificial limbs except for his
dauntless attitude.
Faith Pulling Him Through.
IT'S his faith that's pulling
him through" Chaplain Edward
Curran said. HE has communion
here every morning."
In the corporal's room there
are no large baskets of fruit or
stacks of Christmas cards and
gifts.
But there is vase of flowers.
and a Christmas card pasted on
the wall.
Its from the company worked
for in Baltimore" he said, point
ing to the firms name with a
sense of pride in being remem-
bered by Polan & Katz Co.
The corporal's parents and
younger brother and sister live in
Puerto Rico. His father, Juan,
is a portrait painter, he said.
"You know what want most?"
he asked. MY mother to come
see me. But not yet-maybe in
June when I'm better so she
won't get too excited"
Corpl. Gomez feels sure he's
going to walk again. He doesn't
have to tell you so. You Just
know 1t in the way he talks and
smiles,

q distinguished public servant whose background
as teacher of the law, practitioner and State
Judge give him extraordinary qualifications for
the new post The selection, though 1t may be
mildly disappointing to those who hoped that
Washington attorney would be appointed, pre-
serves the existing balance on the court as
between judges who have been associated with
local practice and the District bar and those
brought in from the outside to sit on court
where purely Federal cases represent about 40
per cent of its business
To us here in Washington the new judges
qualifications are of more Importance than the
political implications of his removal from Mime
sofa. He comes to a court where the increasing
pressure of involved litigation calls for Judge
who can carry his part of the load He comes
here with reputation of Independent thinking,
non-poltical administration, devotion to the
public interest and personal integrity which gave
substance to his Good Government" platform
While the President may have thrown local
politics in Minnesota into what one correspondent
describes as turmoil" he has also made fitting
selection for the Federal bench in the District
of Columbia.

quaintance was killed when his car was
struck by trailer truck.
In my own case, I sat in utter amaze
ment as a confused and uncertain judge
in a suburban police court found the
truck driver not guilty of reckless driv-
ing by colliding and drunken driving. in
spite of the testimony of the arresting
officer "a State trooper and three wit
nesses which seemed to clearly and con-
vincingly indicate flagrant violation Of
traffic regulations as well as complete
disregard for the safety of others. The
driver even admitted drinking and wit
nesses testified that he threw bottle
from the truck after the crash.
My concern is greater than ever as
feel that verdicts such as this certainly
contribute to continued recklessness on
the part of these drivers and thus de-
prive the driving public of the protec-
ton to which it is entitled.
Until the courts are willing to face
the fact that these huge vehicles consti
tute serious menace, they will 60 on

Airport Funds

Opponents Of the proposed additional
airport for the Washington area should
not overlook several pertinent facts.
The Washington planners intend to
force citizens out Of their homes so that
q civilian airport can be built with tax
payers money-not an airport for Gov
ernment planes, but facility to be used
by commercial airlines, operating as in
dependent companies in the transporta-
ton business.
Fourteen million dollars of taxpayers
money is proposed for the airport. out
cannot find that one cent is to be fur
nished by the airlines which stand to
gain most by this project.
The Maryland congressional delegation
proposes the use of Friendship Airport
near Baltimore. terming an additional
airport for the District of Columbia
waste of taxpayers money" I agree.
The taxpayers gave $2.212.500 cf Fed
eral funds for the construction of Friend
ship, have an investment of $23 million
of public funds in Washington National
Airport, and spend $92 million annually
on the Federal airways.
Neither the CAA bureaucrats, who
have high-paying Government jobs plan
ming, building and operating airports,
nor the airlines' lobby can be expected

This and That

"How do you like my new haircut?"
asked Templeton Jones Of his friend
Ben
II don't like it," glowered Ben. Then
he smiled and said, "You asked for it."
"I surely did," grimaced Jones.
That new hair cut seemed to be all
things to all people. One friend liked
it, another did not, but Jones did. so
that was all that counted.
In the old days, and especially In
Pennsylvania, such q close cut was
called Won Hindie"
It was given most small boys in the
spring. probably on the theory that with
such q close cut, the boy wouldn't need
any more attention from barber until
fall.
There were two degrees, the shave
and the close-cut.
Hardest Of the lads took the former.
most were content with the very close.
There was a naive idea then that
there was something peculiarly sanitary
about such hair cut, but If this were
so, why wasn't it used during the rest
Of the year?
Templeton Jones called his crew
haircut, then wondered why it was so
called, since photographs Of crews he
had seen displayed no such short hair
on the boys.
There is fine line. evidently, between
what one likes, ones self, and what
othfr' like. 4

Probably there is something to both
views, Jones feels. This expert believes
that hair is best served by keeping 1t
fairly long, and points to the less
troubled heads of womankind.
On the other hand, he believes that
close cutting at least once q year is
good" for the scalp.
Most men, he feels sure, are just a
little afraid of their heads, hence the
common failure to shampoo enough.
massage enough, comb and brush
enough.
Women may be regarded as experts
on hair care, and what they do to care
for their browning glories" would be
well for men to do, too, according to
Jones.
Yet nothing is more common for
man than to see his hair beginning to
fall out and then to do strictly nothing,
as If somehow the hair and scalp were
things not to be touched, untouchable,
in fact.
Water used on the head and per-
mitted to dry in the air Is very bad,
Jones says Never wet the head without
drying it thoroughly. Too much sun
shine on 1t is bad. A close haircut is
good, now and then, even If ones friends
do not like 1t. For the rest Of the time,
Expert Jones says, the hair should be
allowed to grow naturally, and bit on
the long side. That way, one may not
exactly resemble a movie star. nor a
bolshevik, either, but just ones self,
which, after all. iS best.

Former and Initiation

Something drastic must be done about
imitation even II 1t means increasing
Government control Of wages and prices.
I favored a rollback in the price Of
beef, even if I am a beef farmer. Yet
I wondered why I should be asked
to take 10 per cent reduction in my
income while wages and salaries con-
tinue to increase. Even Government
workers expect an early increase Of
wages which may reach 10 per cent.
Farmers earned less for their labor,
according to Government reports, less
for their investment and less for their
management ability than any other
group in the Nation in 1850.
While the farmer has profited the
least from imitation, believe farm Or
ganization leaders will agree to 10 per
cent rollback in beef, as well as other
farm products, If there also is 10 per
cent rollback in wages, salaries and
price of manufactured products, espe-
cially the price Of machinery.
Farmers feel that there Is something
wrong when every one, especially the
Government, talks about a big reduction
in the price the farmer gets for beef
stock and at the same time permits and
even encourages an increase in wages.
II the Government adopts q consistent
policy regarding inf1ationary trends, the
farmers will 60 along.

The silhouette Of the human head de-
pends so much on the hair: Jones had
forgotten that for years he wore COM
paratively long hair.
Certainly others were going to regard
his short cut as something strange-on
him.
For some reason, he had realized.
fairly long hair on a male head, If 1t
is also profuse. strikes the average
American as "bolshevistic"
It is q forgotten term, now, but once
it had a certain currency, because at
about that time q certain Russian SCI
enlist was touring the United States.
His immense head of hair and flowing
beard came to be regarded as typical
Of Russians. so that with the revolution
such hair meant just one thing, boil
shevist.
Jones was always torn, in regard to
his hair, between letting it grow as it
would and keeping it cut short.
AS women have discovered, the close
hair cut is the most comfortable and
the most convenient.
The long is probably more becoming.
as women would discover again, If they
let 1t grow.
The male head has the problem Of
keeping its hair.
Some wearers believe that long hair
pulls on the scalp, and SO helps keep It
in good condition.
Others point to the entry of sunshine
and fresh air on the closely cYt head.

thing he asked for, then to enroll the
Soviet Union by negotiation as willing
collaboration in postwar settlements,
thereby persuading the Communist
leaders into an acceptance Of Christian
ways and democratic principles But it
did not work.
When the United States and Russia
divided Korea after VI Day, it was
the concensuS among American leaders
that the division was merely tempo
rary military expedient. and that the
country would be reunited at an early
date by negotiation with the Russians.
But it did not work.
When Secretary of State Byrnes took
up the Korean question at the Moscow
Conference of December, 1945, with
Molotov and the late British Foreign
Secretary Bevin, the conferees all
pledged their support for unification
and "the establishment of the national
independence of Korea" But it did not
work.
Those of us who watched the pro-
longed conferences of the American
Soviet Joint Commission in Seoul to
unity Korea by negotiation, instinctively
felt that it would not work. The
Soviets were merely gaining time to
train and equip an army for invasion
of South Korea, while the American
occupation authorities were wasting
their time in futile negotiation.
When Secretary of State Marshall
presented the Korean question to the
U. N. General Assembly for solution on
September II, 1947, he hoped that
world opinion would compel Russia to
finally consent to the unification OF
