NO THIRD DEGREE
 METHODS BY COPS
 HIGH COURT RULE!

WASHINGTON, April 24, -R- Any policeman who used third-de- gree methods on a suspect may be imprisoned and fined under the Federal Civil Rights Act, the Su- preme Court has decreed.
 The Tribunal, in a 5-4 decision yesterday, cleared the way for fed eral prosecution of federal, state or municipal police who try to get confessions by brutal methods.
 In earlier years, the court has thrown out convictions based on confessions asserted to have been obtained by third-degree methods. But government attorneys said yesterdays decision in a complex Florida case was the first time they have obtained a clear ruling on their right to move against po- lice themselves.
 The decision, written by Justice Douglas, said police could be pun ished under section of the civil rights act which provides a fine of $l,000 and one year in prison. Justices Black, Frankfurter, Jack son and Minton dissented. The decision upheld conviction of Jay G. Williams, a Miami private detective who also was a special police officer of Miami. He was accused of violating the civil rights of four lumber yard employees by using brutal methods in an effort to get them to confess to lumber thelts.

Senate Inquiry Into Firing of MaeArthur, Other
 Issues, Sthedued

WASHINGTON, April 24 --lRl- The Senate inquiry into the firing of Gen. Douglas Macarthur and related foreign policies will begin on May 3.
 Chairman Russell (D-Ga) of the Senate Armed Services Committee announced the date today and said it is his plan to hear Macarthur at closed-door session. But there will be an open or public hearing If the general expresses desire, Russell added.
 Senate leaders = both Democratic and Republican-urged public hear ings "as far as possible"
 Senator Mcfarland of Arizona the Democratic leader, told report CTS he favors making public all ex- cept vital security information.
 We will gain more toward achiev- ing national unity than we will lose by having the enemy find out some confidential information" McFar- land said
 Senator Taft of Ohio, chairman of the Senate Republican Policy Con- mittee, agreed.
 In other developments:
 l. The White House said state ment of President Truman's reasons for firing Macarthur was sent to MacArthur's command in Tokyo Presidential Press Secretary Joseph Short made that comment when asked about statement by Mac Arthur aide that the general does not know why President Truman stripped him of his commands.
 2. Democrats continued in the Senate what apparently is a planned series of speeches in the battle of public opinion over MacArthur's dis missal. Senator Lehman (D-Lib-NY) told the Senate Macarthur sought to involve the country in "bie war to bring a speedy end to a small one"
 Senator McMahon D-Conn) said the nations capitol may be blown to smithereens next week" by atomic bombs if the United States pursues wrong policy in the Far East.
 And the chairman of the Joint Atomic Energy Committee said em- phatica.ly in prepared statement he thinks Gen. Douglas MacArthur's policy is wrong.
 McMahon launched the latest at. tack on MacArthur's proposed strat- egy for fighting the Korean war the strategy that, publicly stated got him fired.

RIDGWAY MAKING
 DEMAND
Korean Commander Sent Request that Formosa
 Chinese Enter Battle

NEW YORK, April "A --tR-- An adviser to Gen. Douglas Macarthur said today that Lieut.. Gen. Mat thew Ridgway had proposed to tht Pentagon that Chinese troops or Formosa he sent into battle.
 Ridgway succeeded Macarthur ir his Far East commands when the latter was deposed by President Truman for expressing views con- trary to administration policy con- corning Korea.
 Maj. Gen. Courtney Whitney, per- sonal adviser to the busted general told reporters Ridgway made the proposal after analysing the situa- ton" apparently soon after his arrival in Korea and while Mac Arthur still was in supreme com mand.
 Whitney said all senior officers in the Far East, including Lieut. Gen. George E.) Stratemeyer, air commander, and (Vice) Admiral (Charles Turner) Joy, in charge of naval operations" also favored the use of Chiang Kai Shek's troops.
 Whitney said Ridgway sent { very strong message to the Penta- gon through Gen. Macarthur, ad- vocating use of those troops to strengthen our military position"
 Macarthur has estimated their number at about 600.000.
 whitney said that, so far as he knew, none of the military leaders on the scene had changed then opinions in the meantime.
 Macarthur, spending the day quietly in the Waldorf Astoria hotel expected to review New York's Loy- atty Parade Saturday afternoon.

THIRD BRIT.
 LEADER HAS
 QUIT POST

LONDON, April 24, -tR- Prime Minister Attlee's forces and rebel lious laborite left wingers made a deal today aimed at keeping the labor government in power as long as possible and preventing a gen. eral election at this time.
 The deal, with both sides making concessions, came after a third government leader, John Freeman, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Supply, resigned in pro- test over the governments arms budget. He quit for broadly the same reasons as Labor Minister Aneurin Bevan and Board of Trade President Harold Wilson; Britain's s financing of her rearmament at the expense of the national free medi- cine scheme.
 The labor government announced the appointment of Alfred Robens to Bevan's labor ministry post, and of Sir Hartley Shawcross as presi- dent of the Board of Trade.
 The labor members of parliament held stormy two-hour secret en- ergency meeting. It resulted in a deal in which the rebels, headed by Bevan and Wilson, pledged them selves to put party unity in the House of Commons above the policy split.
 Observers said it seemed likely Attlee now could hold his slim mar gin of power in the House against the e-liberal assault, at least until autumn.

REDS ARE
 STRIKING
 SAvAGELY
Center of 100- Mile Line CrumbIes Before Fury
 of New Offensive
By Associated Press

Nearly cne-half million battle- tested Reds smashed hole in the center of the United Nations line today in their third invasion of South Korea.
 Communist troops streamed thru the gap and bent back the right flank of the Allied line.
 They were striking savagely with the aim of breaking up the inter- national Eighth Army into piece- meal units.
 l South Korean units manning the center of the 100-mile line crumbled before the fury of the Red spring offensive. Their retreat exposed other Allied divisions. | Situation Serious Frontline officers considered the situation serious. But headquarters commanders were confident the re- juvenated Allied forces could stem he offensive.
 It. Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway. the l yrenade-packing paratrooper who shored up the morale of Allied forces before he succeeded General Macarthur as supreme commander, visited the front. Ridgway said the great battle well may prove decisive" He called 1t the greatest Red offensive yet launched, but warned that the Allies probably have not yet met its full strength.
 Strike With Strength On the Eastern flank Red Kor- sans overran Inje. They struck with surprising strength. Defense of the town, four miles north of the border, collapsed. South Koreans gave way before | similar Chinese assault in the center. The Korean retreat exposed the Hanks of other LIN units. Reds Ram Wedge | Reds rammed through, deepening their wedge south of the 38th Par allel. Censorship withheld the pre- else distance. Earlier in the day the Chinese had pushed four miles into South Korea And they were still pressing forward over the dusty hills on foot and by horsebask. Ridgway's Views
 Ridgway declared:
 Tt appears to me at this time that this attack is another major effort by our Communist enemy to drive LIN forces from Korea. or to destroy them. regardless of the fur ther destruction of his own troops"
 An Eighth Army spokesman said Red casualties were 10 times those of JUN forces. On the Eastern front, an officer said Red losses there were 20 times those of the Allies.
 LIN Confidence Field commanders described the situation on the Central front as critical. But Ridgway said. T have complete confidence"
 Korea officials were not so con- fident. Great columns of refugees clogged the highways south of the Central and Western front.
 People Dispirited | AP Correspondent Jim Becker on the Central front said the tired. dispirited people" didn't even raise their heads to see what was hap pening along the roads they plod- ded. Twice before they had fled along the same routes from the Communist advance-always in de- creasing numbers.
 | They walked down roads threat ened by great Red pincer move ment.

SEATTLE, April "A -tR- George N. Apostol, who less than two years ago was picking apples in Omak, Wash, to support his family while he conducted good government crusade, has been sworn into office as special assistant attorney general for the Territory of Alaska.
 Apostol was much in the news while practicing at Omak. In his brief law career, the 32-year-old at torney has won five of six appeals to the Washington State Supreme Court.

 Apostol, when he became involved in the good government" fight in Omak, transferred some $5,00D worth of pending business to other attorneys because he thought it was Gin the best interests" of his clients. Then he turned to apple picking and his crusade.
 For the past six months he has been practicing in Seattle, working nights as a traffic clerk at the Seat tie Port of Embarkation to offset costs of building the new practice.
 The 16-hour- -a-day schedule was interrupted this week with the an- nouncement that Apostol had been chosen from scores of lawyer appli- cants from Los Angeles to Seattle for the $7,OOO year Alaska appoint ment
 A second assistant to Atty. Gen. J. Gerald Williams was authorized by the recent legislature because of increasing Territorial legal business The only assistant at present IS John Dimond.
 Attorney General Gerald Will Hams arrived in Juneau this morn- ing after several weeks in San Francisco attending Court of Ap- peals.
 He announced that Apostol would arrive here to assume his new duties on the Denali next Monday.
 Apostol has a wife and three daughters. He is member of the bar in Washington and is a grad uate of Gonzaga University and the University of Washington in pre- law
