The Republic of Korea is try
ing to buy-from its meager
dollar reserves-light military
equipment in this country to
arm 100000 men who are not
now in the army, but who have
had basic training and are
anxious to fight for their coun-
try.
President Syngman Rhee con-
tends that if the American Gov
eminent took advantage of the
manpower available in Korea.
it would not need to send as
many requirements to Korea.
According to figures presented
to the American high command
by the Korean president, there
are 100000 young Koreans
anxious to fight the Reds. Half
that number are adequately
trained. The other half could
be employed successfully as
guerrillas after a few weeks
training in that type Of war
fare. Unfortunately, weapons
are not available for such a
large number Of South Koreans.
President Rhee points out in
his appeals to Tokyo and Wash
ington that it is illogical for
America and other countries to
bear the brunt of the fighting.
United Nations forces have little
interest in Korea itself. They
are there to carry out a police"
measure.
The South Koreans, however,
are fighting for their own free
dom and for their homes. Con-
sequently. larger number of
them than at present should be
drafted and trained for combat.
This Is being done on very
limited scale. DR.. Rhee points
out that some of the best Ameri-
can officers attached to the gov
eminent Of South Korea as mill
tary instructors have been
transferred to Japan, where
they now are engaged in drilling
the new Japanese police.

was not ousted by the party. He

In all fairness to Herman
his interest in newspapers
comes naturally. His father,
Oh wool hat Gene, owned and
published a weekly sheet. It's
name I do not remember, as
who would. It was the worst
journalistic effort I ever saw.
The copies I saw consisted of
attacks on any one who, through
either nausea or anger. attacked
the State government of Geor-

as If they had been written by
an eight-year-old child who

Lowell WeIIett::

A democracy in the process of
organizing for war is apt to look
pretty clumsy and confused at
times. This is partly because
the last thing that is relin-
pushed, If it ever is relin-
pushed. is freedom of speech,
the right to protest to high
heaven against anything or
everything the Government may
be doing or attempting to do.
The good citizens who have been
called to Washington to put the
machinery together and oper-
ate it are finding this out.
They need men to staff their
organizations and, naturally,
they want good men. They may
know a few good men personally
and among these they may find
some who are willing to give up
whatever they are doing and
become "bureaucrats" for the
period of the emergency or as
long as they can stand the beat
ing that befalls bureaucrats.
But if it is a big organization.
one requiring State and local
administrators, personal &C
workmanship doesn't go very
far. 1t is necessary to fall back
on recommendations from vari-
Gus sources. Government jobs
are at least semi-political jobs
and most of the recommended
tions come from political
sources.
Appointments are made and
then freedom Of speech begins.
The cry is, Politics"
There is no way for the man
at the top to escape this. When
Leon Henderson set up the
original Office of Price Admin
istration he thought he could.
He relied largely on the, COVER
nors of the States for the Sc
lection of the State Administra-
tors. Democratic governor,
Democratic administrator. Re-
publican governor, Republican
administrator. See, no politics!
Furthermore that would also
fasten responsibility on the
State government in Office and
assure the proper zeal.

cut that way. Some of the

Att|ee Stirs New Criticism
Discussion Of 18th Parallel Sounds Absurd
As Navy and Air Force Attack North of Line
David Lawrence:

Again the "3Sth Parallel has
been interjected into the mill
tary operations of the United
Nations forces by Great Brit
ain. Prime Minister Attlee's
admission in London that the
views of the British govern
ment on this point had been
presented to the American Gov
eminent and that the U. N.
forces should not move across
the parallel without consulta-
tons among the U. N. powers
illustrates dramatically the way
American forces have been ham,
strung in Korea.
The utter absurdity of such
a discussion in the midst of
fighting will be apparent when
1t is noted that there has here
tofore been no ban against
crossing the parallel by our
forces. Even now nobody is
seriously advocating that the
naval forces or the planes of
the Air Force and the Navy be
prevented from attacking tar
gets in North Korea. 1t is only
the land forces which are to be
ordered to stop their crossing.
The idea that a war can be
fought successfully by pro-
hibiting ground forces from pun
ishing the enemy, while sea
and air forces continue the at
tack. is one that doesn't make
sense to military men. If wars
hereafter are to be managed oy
politicians and if future U. N.
operations are to be commanded
by foreign Offices. then it might
be well worth considering
whether American forces should
ever again be committed to
resist aggression unless the
U. N. specifically agrees in adj
vance to let the military power
be exerted to its maximum in

Taxation would be an important
aspect of economic stabilization,
the President said, undermining the
view that defense should be a pay
as-you-go proposition with the ma
tion's annual budget actually bal
anced. Although corporation taxes
and individual taxes were increas-
ed last year, they will have to be
again. Loopholes in the
tax laws must be plugged and ex-
else taxes must be upped. At the
same time, savings must be increas-
ed, preferably through the purchase
of government bonds, to provide
nest eggs for the future and to hold
down spending for scarce goods
now.
The other aspects Of sterilization
are control of prices and wages and
control of credit, the President said.
In the case of prices, the general
policy will be to hold the line since
further increases will be justifiable
only in rare instances. In fact, adj
ditional military production may
lower units costs in some indus
tries and lead to price cuts. Mean
while, the Department of Agricul-
ture must be granted power to con-
troll speculative trading in basic
foods and other products.
Wages and prices cannot always
be treated alike, the President said.
They are related to each other, but
frequently prices are based on costs
having nothing to do with wages.
The President indicated that price
control would come before wage
control although wages must be
stabilized until the flow of con-
sumner goods can be increased.
This is what the United Labor
Policy Committee had said already.

New England Gets
|Ok For Steel Mill

Waterford, Conn. (LPA) - New
England's dream of a fully-inte-
grated steel mill all its own moved
shade nearer reality Jan. 10
when the National Securities Re-
sources Board approved building a
mill here which will employ 4OCO
workers.
Sen. Brien Mcmahon I'd, Conn.,
said the NSRB will issue a certi-
ficate of necessity which will allow
much of the $200,000,000 cost Of
the mill to be written off in tax
concessions during the next five
years.
The mill, which will be on a
1600-acre site on Long Island
Sound and turn out 100000 ingot
tons Of steel a year, is the areas
first "integrated'' mill. New Eng
land has steel finishing plants, but
no mill which works from raw ore
to finished product.
The New England Steel Develop
ment Corp. has been created to
build the plant, but it is expected
that it will operated by a large
steel company as subsidiary
negotiations are already underway
with three firms.
This is the third mill announced
for the East Coast in the past
month. Others are both on the Del
aware River near Philadelphia
US Steel at Morrisville, Pa. and
National Steel at Paulsboro, N. J.
All three mills will be accessible
to ocean-going ore boats, of inn
portance in the future because US
ore deposits are running low and
more dependence is being placed on
ore from Labrador and Venezuela.

Sees Labor Pinch And Some IdIeness
AS Plants Switch TO Defense Work

Washington, d. C. QLNS).-
There will be shortages of both jobs
and labor this year as result OF
the mobilization program, Robert
C. Goodwin, executive director OF
the U. S. Labor Departments Of
flee of Defense Manpower predict
| ed.
Goodwin foresaw employment at
high marks, with manpower re-
sources challenged both to fill the
needs of the armed forces and of
civilian defense.
On the other hand, he said, "some
rise in unemployment" can be ex-
pected early in 1851 as plants are
forced to lay off workers because
of material shortages. Meanwhile,
other industries will sharply build
up production-line payrolls as de-
fense spending increases.
But manpower planners look for
the wave of unemployment to be
shortlived in most areas, with idle
workers being "quickly absorbed by
defense activities" Goodwin con-
tinued. Unemployment nationally,
except for seasonal moves, should
drop to the lowest levels since
World War H." before the end Of
1851, he added.
This, he said, adds up to can in
creasingly active labor market as
millions of workers shift to defense
jobs or into the armed forces and
some plants lay off workers be-
cause of material shortages, and
others sharply decrease workers
for defense production"
The pressures of both military
and civilian manpower needs will
force many women, older and
younger workers and the physical
ly handicapped into the labor mar
ket, Goodwin held.
Less Building Activity
Industries expected soon to in
crease their manpower needs were
listed as the primary metals, air.
craft, tanks, ordnance, electronic
equipment, shipbuilding and mach
inc tools. The federal government
also will expand its production
payrolls as arsenals and shipyard
activities pick up.
The construction industry, which
enjoyed it's greatest boom in his
tory in 1850, will operate at lower
levels this year because of the
sharp curtailment in home building,
Goodwin said. However, much of
the decline in the building OF homes
will be offset by an expansion in
industrial construction.

Anti-Union Boss
Must Pay S13,435
In Back Wages

lola, Kan. (LPA)-Earl |. Sifers
head of the Sifers Candy Co., bat
tied the union and the courts foi
five years, and it's going to cost
him $l3,435.45. That's the amount
lost in wages he must pay to Is
of the 26 employees he locked out
in April 1916. The individual sums
range from $181 to $2500.35.
Sifers, who then manufactured
chocolate syrup, changed from a
two-shift to a single shift opera
tion in April, 1916. Of the % he
kept, 10 had not joined the union.
The National Labor Relations
Board found that most Of those not
called back worked on the first
shift, and Sifers knew that most of
them had joined the union a few
days before. In going to single
shift, Sifers deliberately broke up
the first shift and stated the day
shift with a majority of second
shift employees, the Board found
although he testified that it was
his policy not to transfer workers
from one shift to another.
The union, AFL Bakery and Con
fectionary Workers, filed charges,
The NLRB issued its decision and
order Nov. 26, l947. A year later
the US Circuit Court, on petition
of the NLRB, issued an order en-
forcing the NLRB order. The de-
cree was entered Jan. 5, l949. Or
Oct. "a, 1949, the court issued an
order authorizing the Board to
hold a hearing to determine how
much back pay was due those not
rehired. A further hearing was held
by a trial examiner, who found
that Sifers had not made offers Of
reinstatement in good faith, and
ordering him to make good the lost
pay. Sifers still wanted to fight,
but the Board on Jan. IL, 1851
finally ruled that Sifers must pay
up.
