SCHOOL, CITY BANDS TO PRACTICE TONIGHT
 FOR MEMORIAL DAY

A quick call has been issued to members of the Juneau Public school band and City Band for a practice tonight at 7:30 o'clock in the Grade School auditorium. The call is made to ascertain If large delegation of musicians can be formed to play for the Memorial day parade and services at the dock and cemetery.
 The practice tonight will be a short one and only marches will be played. It is the belief that the musicians of both organizations will show up tonight for the brief prac- tice and then make appearance to- morrow in the Memorial Day par ade.
 Bandsmen of both organizations who because of the sudden call have made previous engagements for tonight are asked to be at the grade school auditorium Wednes- day morning not later than 10:l5 o'clock. Bandsmen are asked to wear their uniforms but those who have none are to show up anyway.
 Joyce Hope is in charge of the arrangements and she will have her majorettes also ready for the parade.

REDS ARE
 FIGHTING
 BITTERLY
Stubborn Battles Rage North of Parallel
 Allies Stalled
By Associated Press

South Korean troops stabbed for ward a dozen miles Tuesday against little or no opposition to seize the east coast port of Kansong, 26 miles inside North Korea.
 Other LIN forces on the Central front gained control of an import ant ridge overlooking the escape route for thousands of Korean and Chinese Reds at the eastern end of the Hwachon Reservoir
 The Allies were within four miles southeast of Yanggu on the last ridgeline leading to that strategic town.
 The Rt.s fought bitterly to delay the Allied troops on the mountain ous Central front but gains of as much as 4,500 yards (almost three miles) were scored by powerful AL lied tank and artillery-support task forces.
 Division Wiped Out
 Two Chinese divisions were wiped out in four-day battle m the Gen. tral front, south of the 38th Par allel. The U. s. 8th Army said the Chinese lost l8.000 men -- killed. wounded or captured = in the single battle.
 Smaller, but equally stubborn fights ragged across Korea north of s. Allied troops were held to limited gains. Stiffest action ~As in the center of the peninsula where JUN troops tried to seal off all Hwachon Reservoir.
 South Korean troops were strung along the south bank of the reser- voir about four miles east of the damsite. U. s. Marines were on the western end. American infantrymen fighting through strong opposition gained one mile Tuesday in their drive to reach it's eastern end.
 A delayed and heavily censored dispatch from AP Correspondent Tom Bradshaw said a powerful LIN task force begged down Monday northeast of Inje.
 Smell of Dead Flesh
 Allied casualties in Inje itself were heavy" Bradshaw reported. Reds poured sporadic fire from the surrounding hills into the town - "a leveled area of mud huts inter- spersed with dead Chinese and horses"
 The ungodly smell of dead flesh hung over Inje. And along the streets of the town lay bodies of Chinese Communists so battered by the passing vehicles thatthey could hardly be recognized as human beings"
 Bradshaw reported the task force had rumbled across the bodies m the night with a dull crunching ot human bones"
 In two costly spring offenses that have failed. the Chinese have paid the price of 10000 casualties. The Allied forces have won back most of the territory taken in the Reds second smash southward.

VANDENBERG
 |5UNDER FIRE
 OF SENATOR
HiekenIooper Accuses General of Critieisinq
 Korean War Policy

WASHINGTON, May 29 - tR - Gen. Hoyt s. Vandenberg, testify ing in the Senate's Macarthur in- quiry. came under sharp fire today from Senator Hickenlooper tR-Ia) who declared that Vandenberg has been just as critical of Korean pol icy as Gen. Douglas MacArthur ever was. Hickenlooper said it raised the question whether Vandenberg should resign or be removed as Air Force Chief of Staff.
 Vandenberg in return denied that he had disagreed with any United Nations policy as to Korea.
 He acknowledged writing in a magazine article last March that U. s. air power was made just about useless when the LIN in an effort to avoid a diplomatic rupture with the Chinese Communists halted of fensive action at the Yalu river"
 But he told Hickenlooper:
 T was explaining a result from military action. I was not advocat- ing it."
 Says Comments Critical
 Hickenlooper contended that Van- denberg's comments, published in Air Force' magazine, together with other statements he said he would produce later. were just as critical of LIN policy as anything that General MacArthur ever said.'
 On yesterday. vandenberg said that as a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff he concurred in the decision that Macarthur should be relieved.
 Defends Statement Vandenberg said his published statement 'is factual when you con- sider the point of time of which l was talking"
 At that time." he said, "the JUN forces were up close to the Yalu There was very little distance be- tween the Yalu and the front line where air power could operate against them, and I was simply making a factual statement that when that condition occurs, your air power is relatively ineffective
 Earlier, Vandenberg had testified it was made clear to Macarthur that Joint Chiefs of Staff study last January -. embracing some points of MacArthur's proposed Korean strategy = was only a tentative thing. He said that as he recalls he and Gen. J. Lawton Collins. Army Chief of Staff, made that clear or visit to Tokyo.
 Maintain Air Force k Gen. Vandenberg ais odeclared the United States must maintain ar Air Force able to destroy Russia'' air power ''and destroy it promptly He described the U. S. Air Force | as the "big stick" or at least thu fairly large club guarding tht world against a new global war But he said the present force may become only a willow wand" a | <~oct;c,,aI m Dooe Tswol

The fire travelled so fast that Alfred was caught in another room of the house and had to escape through the window. He saved only his revolver, parka and radio. In the house were whale darting gun bombs.
 The nearest dwelling was 30 feet away and was saved by the resi- dents pouring water on it.

House Bill Would Increase Military Pay 10 Per Cent

WASHINGTON, (P)-A House Armed Services subcommittee has approved bill to raise the pay of everyone in the military ser vices by 10 per cent. Only two members were present for the ac- ton but there was no indication of a fight.
 The measure, however, has only a slim chance of adoption at this session of Congress. The Senate Armed Services Committee has said it will defer action until January.
 The bill, described as a "cost of living" measure, was requested by the Defense Department.
 As originally drawn it would have put a limit of $500 a year on the raises, cutting higher paid officers below the 10 per cent. The House knocked this out.
 Under the $500 limit plan gen. erals and admirals would have re- ceived only per cent increase, colonels and some lieutenant col onels with long service only be- tween seven and eight per cent.
 The ten per cent boost under the bill as amended would be ex- tended to all retired personnel.
