The plan calls for the develop

among the United States, Austria

modelled on the North Atlantic
Pact pledge to regard an attack
en- one country as an attack on
all. The plan may later be ex-
tended to other countries in the
Pacific area.
Coming in the midst of wide
debate over the Macarthur is
sue, the projected new alliance
has given assurance and courage
to Asia.
Both Australia and New Zea-
land have acclaimed the alliance,
The Australian minister of ex-
ternal affairs, Percy Spender,
calls it "the green light on the
road to Pacific security" He
says, THE Presidents announce

single development in our for

The President has directed

treaty negotiations and is in
Tokyo now. Dulles returned to
Japan early this week to con
tinue negotiations and to assure
the Japanese people that MacAr-
thurs dismissal does not mean a
change in American interest in
obtaining an early treaty.
Linked with the treaty negotia-
tians is a provision to permit
American armed forces to remain
in and about Japan after the oc-
cupation is over. Such an ar
Iangement is now being dis
cussed with the japanese gov
eminent. The United States also
expects to continue to keep
armed forces in the Ryukyu Is
lands south of Japan, especially
in Okinawa.
While discussing the new Pa
cific Plan, Mr.. Truman also
pointed out that the United
States is maintaining its military
rights and facilities in the Philip
pines, under an existing agree
ment. The President said: The
whole world knows that the
United States recognizes that an
armed attack on the Philippines
would be looked upon by the
United States as dangerous to its
own peace and safety and would
act accordingly"
From what the President said,
it now appears that the United
States defense line in the Pacific
runs from Alaska through the
Aleutians, Japan, Okinawa and
the Philippines to Australia and
New Zealand. Mr.. Truman said
nothing about Formosa in detail
ing his Pacific Plan.

Ridgway Warns
United States
OF War Threat
American Policies
To Help Defend
Japan Will BE
Continued, He Says

TOKYO, April l9.-(P1.-Thc
new supreme commander in
Japan has made his first inspec-
ton trip since succeeding General
MacArthur-and has taken the
occasion to issue a warning to the
United States.
Lieutenant General Matthew
Ridgway says this country is I'M
der the imminent threat Of war
which can be Unbiased at the time
and place of choosing of other peo-
pie.
Ridgway spoke to the 223rd
Regiment of CALIFORNIA; 10th di-
vision upon its arrival in Japan,
200 miles from Tokyo.
Ridgway's trip to see the out
fit was without precedent. Gen
cral Macarthur never inspected
a garrison in Japan outside of
Tokyo.
One purpose of Ridgway'S trip
was to rcassure the Japanese that
the change in command will not
change American policies to help
defend Japan.
This was expressed by Assis-
tant Secretary of the Army Earle
johnson, who accompanied Ridg-
way.
After the formalities were over,
Ridgway proved to be very pop
ular with a crowd of youngsters,
some of whose fathers are serving
in Korea. The kids besiegcd the
new commander for autographs.

the. Allies have started a limited
attack north of the Hwachon pow

The big dam fell to the Allies
yesterday when the Reds pulled
out after defending it stubbornly
for days.
Today thousands of United Ma
tons troops poured into the dam
and reservoir area. They traded
fire with an enemy group of un-
disclosed strength but later with

The mysterious enemy with
drawai was not limited to the re-
scrvoir area. Chinese Reds troops
pulled back all along the central
front in the mountainous area
west of the reservoir. Rain, smoke
and haze made air observation
impossible. But U.N, troops pat
rolled aggrcssivcly far ahead OF
their lines in this sector without
opposition.
On the western front, heavy
rain slowed the Allied advance
However, a tank-led patrol push

base at Chorwon.
Meanwhile, American engineers
and Korean road crews are work
ing day and night to weather
proof the roads against the heavy
rains soon due.
