No Advocate of Extremes.
But with equal emphasis he re-
calls that neither has he been all
advocate of extremes in the other
direction. While he has supported
the Democratic Party and It's
nominees since I was old enough
to vote" he has some very definite
ideas about the personal responsi-
bility of a member of Congress.
Il believe" he said, that a
member should maintain an inde-
'pendence of thought in how he
votes on issues. I believe that he
should exercise his own judgment
on every matter of legislation that
comes before him and that every
single item ought to be scruti-
.nized with most careful incisive
consideration"
Saying he had not backed any
extreme program. he recalled
that he had supported the Gore
plan for continuation of the farm
support programs as a substitute
for the Brannan plan and also
had stod against any "defiation-
ary" program.

Army Censors Starting
Closer Scrutiny Of All
Dispatches on Korea
By the Associated Press


TOKYO, Mar. IT. - United
States Army censors announced
today they were starting much
closer scrutiny of all material on
the Korean war to plug leaks
which they said were small but
vital.
In announcing the tightening
up. the Public Information Office
acknowledged that official Army
communiques themselves had
broken security several times.
Only yesterday a second check
was begun in Tokyo of dispatches
already censored in the field in
Korea.
The censors say they believe it
does not matter to reader
whether an Allied patrol included
IA or Is men, or whether an ar
tillery outfit fired 5000 or 5000
rounds of ammunition in a
given period.
May Be Important to Enemy.
They do believe that such spe-
cific bits of information are of
prime Importance to the Commu-
mist enemy.
The size of a patrol, for in
stance. if it follows a pattern,
might let the enemy know what
to expect when next meeting an
Allied patrol. the censors say.
The exact number of shells
fired by a given unit in stated
time might give the enemy in
formation on American gun per-
formance, ammunition delivery
and firepower, they declare.
Besides the obvious injunctions,
the new security yardStick will
prevent general announcement OF
the identity of Allied units, their
locations, or the names Of their
commanders.
Lines Tapped by Reds.
Officials declare dispatches in
the past often have pinpointed
Allied units so fully that enemy
situation maps can be brought
up to date as fast as those at
American headquarters.
This is because of the Korean
communications system, unusual
for war. Most information is
telephoned from Korea to Tokyo
over lines which can be-and
probably are-tapped regularly by
Red agents. Much of the news
3hus sent is published almost I'M
mediately in Japan. 1t is believed
that enemy agents busily radio
it back to Communist head
quarters.
To tighten on this, the new
regulations ban most reporting of
information obtained from pris-
oners or Allied agents. This is
intended to avoid warning the
Reds of leakages in their in
telligence network.
Staff officers say the Army it
self frequently has been at fault
in letting out information.
They say inexperienced or care
less censors sometimes have ap-
proved dispatches containing in
nocent-appearing but militarily
important facts.
The stricted censorship is de-
signed to eliminate this.

night.
In the east-central sector, some
Allied advances were unopposed.
Greeks Take Hill Position.
The Greeks killed 222 Reds and
wounded 900 more in capturing
and holding a hill position on the
approaches to Chunchon. The
enemy must hold that vital base
only 8 miles below the 18th Par
allel If they are to stay anywhere
In South Korea.
The Greeks beat off three Com
munist counterattacks in so min
utes. 1t occurred in an area
where the Reds are estimated to
have up to 250,000 men massed
north and south of Chunchon.
But across the more than 12C
miles of the Korean front, the
Reds still offered no large-scale
opposition to the advancing Allies
And there were even signs they
were slowing UP on movement OF
supplies to the front.
United States 5th Air Force
pilots reported spotting no trains
and only about 100 vehicles last
night after shooting up five trains
the night before. In the past

knocked out 1,100 enemy vehicles
and 800 units of railroad rolling
stock.
