EN.RIDGWAY. WAIVED AID. FROM CHANG
Letter Shows he Backed Md1Arthur's Proposal : Troops Move Mainland

' WASHINGTON, June 9 ---ldl-- Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway, now Far Eastern commander, supported last December the demands of Gen : Douglas Macarthur for useaof 0hi- nese Nationalist troops against the mainland of China. fi5laaH z
 This was developed today at the Senate inquiry into MacArthur's dismissal for publicly advocating use of the Nationalist troops and other direct blows at Red China.
 Senator Knowland put into the record communication that Ridg- way, then field commander under Macarthur, sent late in December to Gen. J. Lawton Collins, Army Chief of Staff.
 Backs MacArthur
 In it, Ridgeway said he was con vinced of the logic" of MacArthur's contention that a Nationalist of fensive in South China would .'even if only moderately successful, re- lieve pressure on our Y force. in Korea." ~ @F "
 This was at a time when JUN forces had been driven back in Korea by overwhelming numbers of Chi nese Red troops which entered the war unexpectedly.
 Knowland produced the paper while the senators were hearing testimony from Maj. Gen. David G. Barr, former commander of the 7th Division in Korea. Barr had given them personal story of the sudden Chinese assault on United States forces last fall when they had ranged up to the -Manchur- ian border.
 Wants Chiang's Troops
 Ridgway told Collins he and Mac Arthur had agreed that U. s. ac- ton should be taken to permit the Nationalist forces under Chiang Kai-Shek in Formosa ito operate
 
 without delay and without limita- tions against the mainland of South i China"
 President Truman fired MacAr- thur for publicly advocating naval blockade of China and bombing of Manchurian bases as well as use Of the Chinese Nationalist troops. Ridgeway was then appointed to succeed Macarthur.
 The administration contends the steps Macarthur proposed would increase the risk of World War III and has instructed Ridgway to con- tinue fighting limited war in Korea.
 Barr told the senators he be- lieves the nation never has had "a finer or more efficient Army than the American 9th Army in Korea.

 As you know, each of the terminals mentioned - those at Seward, Whittier and Anchorage
 - are owned by government agencies, and while little action IS being taken to put these ter mInalS in condition to provide the maximum service for mili- tary and civilian needs of the re glon, other government az ncics are spending hundreds of mil lions of dollars on airport con struction to make Alaska a bull Wark of defense. This points up a most irregular situation-mil- lions for Interior Department establishments but practically nothing for terminals for the only feasible means of transport ing supplies and equipment to said establishments.
 In addition to the problems of inadequate terminals, there are two other obstacles that need to be removed in order to de- Vcloo satisfactory efficiency in terminal ship operations. These are tn shortage of labor and the shortage of railroad cars.
 By labor shortage I mean a shortage of longshoremen and stevedores - the personnel who unload and load our ships. This shortage is not limited to Sew

Defense Funds Bill
Nearing Final Action;
Air Outlay S|ashed

A $57.2 billion bill to run the
Defense Department this year was
earmarked today for early and
final congressional approval.
A SenatesHouse Conference
Committee, working late last
night, ironed out virtually all dis
Iputed points in the huge peace
time defense measure. It whittleo
l$4 billion off Senate-approved
IS billion fund for extra air
power.
Both Senator O'Mahoney,
Democrat, Of Wyoming, and Rep
Iresentative Mahon. Democrat. OF
Texas, said Pentagon leaders had
failed to produce detailed plans
for spending the IS billion.
| Senator O'Mahoney. who had
pushed the air fund through the
Senate, said that instead of plans
flor more air power the Pentagon
sent up details on buying real
estate for the Air Force and
financing public works for the
Navy. But he had said last week,
after The Senate passed a tax
bill far below the amount Presi-
dent Truman requested. that he
would agree to trim the extra
Air Force funds in the appropria-
tion bill. Only in that way, he
said. could this years budget be
balanced.
Ample for Fantastic" Weapons.
Mr.. Mahon said thirds of
the remaining billion would be
earmalked for the Air Force and
one-third for the Navy's air arm.
/ The bill, carrying military
funds for the fiscal year which
started July 1, still needs final
Senate and House approval.
Senator O'Mahoney assured re-
porters that the bill provided
ample funds to provide the fan
tastic new secret weapons" Presi-
dent Truman and others have
been talking about.
The one remaining difference
was a House provision directing
THAT thousands of World War II
veterans. recalled to duty against
their wishes since the Korean
war started, be released after IL
months service instead of II
months under the present law.
These are World War II veter-
ans in the inactive or voluntary
reserve who were not on train
ing pay status, as are national
guardsmen and naval reservists.
Retirement Plan Modified.
Another House provision. in

of officers and men from the

modified form.
The House voted to deprive any
man or officer who retired before
the required term of service of
retirement pay.
The compromise is limited to
commissioned officers and then
permits secretaries of the three
services to grant retirements for
good of the service or in hardship
cases.
One new provision inserted by
the conference committee would

This and That

It is not generally known that biolo-
gists can color bird feathers by injecting
a dye into the egg before 1t matches, and
also by painting the feather after bird
becomes full grown.
These methods have been used to keep
track of certain species, and thereby to
find out facts in their life histories.
Fortunately for most home bird watch
ers, they will never see such specimens.
It would be puzzler, indeed, to de-
termine the species of such bird.
Ordinary home identification is hard
enough for most of us.
There are countless manuals on the
market, but it seems that often they fail
one at the very time needed.
Perhaps this is because one is not
familiar enough with the distinguishing
marks. especially those which differen-
tiate very similar looking birds.
Color, after all, is the amateur bird
mans best friend.
That Is why the old guide put out by
the University of Minnesota Press Is or
20 years ago was helpful to many.
BIRD Portraits in Color" could be
turned over swiftly, so that the seeker
after knowledge might see, one after
another. all birds of given color.
He would find no scarlet jays, or black
redbirds, as might be possible under the
new dyeing system, but he could see how
few birds in blue there are, and SO on.

side of the Capitol. but the outlook is
not encouraging.
Floods have been a problem at
Bladensburg since Colonial days when
the town was port for ocean-crossing
sailing ships. The floods have become
increasingly worse since the river silted
up. The situation is something like
New Orleans where the Federal Gov
ernment has spent so much on levees.
There, because Of sitting. the bottom Of
the river Is about at street level and
the river goes through the town at a
higher level between artificial banks.
Levees are necessary because the
Bladensburg area is about feet lower
than the sea wall around Hams Point.
Fred Cast Of Cheverly. Md. Treasury
Department engineer who has inter-
ested himself in the problem for years,
estimates that in typical Bladensburg
flood 10 per cent Of the water is recent
rain water from upstream and 80 per
cent of it is Potomac water backing up
into the Anacostia.
AnacoStia floods have taken their toll.
In 1888 the crack Crescent limited of
the Pennsylvania Railroad fell into the
river from span weakened by a food.
Two trainmen were drowned and four
passengers injured. There have been
a number of accidental drownings dur
ing flood conditions at Bladensburg.

There are two ways Of looking at
nature.
AS a matter of fact, there are two
ways of looking at all life.
One may be scientific, or professional.

children "siblings."
Thus one gets into the jargon Of the
professional social worker.
It is the same with birds.
One may look upon them as species.
purely or as sort of little people.
Much of our professional gobblede-
cook seems determined to take the mind
away from the loving. human side of
living things, and to turn them into
specimens to be studied.
One can have no real resentment
against the professional outlook. No
doubt it helps in every line OF work.

All these things are necessary for the

out upon the same world as ours do,
but whose minds, thank God, are spared
the awful things we know.
In this light we must envy them.
The birds. the furred beasts of the
