more Of a political enigma than
President Truman as a 1852 can
didate.
Another thing crops up in con-
versation with the Democratic
committeeman. They would dear
ly like to see the Republicans
nominate Senator Taft of Ohio as
their presidential candidate. They
feel that if Senator Taft were the
G. o. P. nominee, they could de-
feat him, and their chances of
getting Gen. Eisenhower as their
own nominee would be greatly i'm
proved.
Foreign Policy Issue.
AS Mr.. Allen put it: THE big
issue today is foreign policy. Gen.
Eisenhower certainly stands with
President Truman on this issue,
and against Senator Taft, who has
opposed the administration for
eign policy right along and who
has recently embraced the ideas
Of Gen. Macarthur"
The speeches delivered at the
meetings here are all extremely
Laudatory Of President Truman
and his conduct Of the war situ-
alton in the Far East and his
determination to halt Communist
aggression and at the same time
If possible. a third world
war.

Democratic National Convention

Vice-presidential nominee next

committee last night.

|}th Army Is Attacking
Al! Along Front With
No Limit on 0bjectives
BY the Associated Press

u. S. 9th ARMY HEADQUAR-
TIERS, Korea, May 24.-Lt. Gen
James A. Van Fleet said today the
9th Army sis attacking along the
entire front and there is no limi-
tation on its objectives.'
The Allied ground commander
told a news conference the Reds
had been severely defeated. He
called the Communist second
spring offensive "a complete fail
lure"
But he warned that the Reds
still have the power to launch new
Ioffensives.
On the east-central front where
the Communists last week slashed
deeply into South Korea, a strong
United Nations task force capped
la 13-mile advance today by
thrusting across the border into
Red Korea.
Enemy Blow Anticipated.
The Red offensive, which began
May Is, knocked all Allied troops
out of North Korea.
The enemy blow, Gen Van Fleet
said, "was anticipated and quite
accurately timed" by Allied forces.
THE attack was initiated by a
mammoth assault against United
States forces in the east-central
sector.
1.-THE weight of five Chinese
Communist armies. as well as
three North Korean corps. was
thrown against ROK (Republic of
Korea) units and elements of the
10th Corps.
"The enemy achieved an initial
deep penetration in the ROK sec
tor. which constituted a serious
threat to U. N. positions-and re-
serves were rushed to the threat
ened areas"
Gen. Van Fleet said the United
States I'd Division and its at
tached French and Dutch bat
talions. commanded by Maj. Gen.
Clark L. Ruffner, "bore the brunt
of the assault" and "Stopped the
enemy cold"
"The carefully prepared U. NJ
defensive positions, employing
three double apron barbed wire
entanglements, protected by mines
and covered by the heaviest con-
centration of artillery yet encoun-
tered in the Korean war, inflicted
crippling casualties on the enemy"
Eighth Army sources estimated
Red casualties at 10000.
Gen. Van Fleet said prisoner
reports have attested to the effec-
tiveness Of both 9th Army artillery
and the night-bombing attacks Of
the Air Force which. in many
cases, broke up attacks before the
enemy assault units could leave
assembly areas.
These casualties were a major
factor in the (Red) withdrawal
that began along the front the
night of May 22-23. In addition,
however, initial reports indicate
that the enemy retreat was also
caused by the unexpected encoun-
tering of United States reserve
forces in the east and the 9th
Army's strong and apparently un-
expected counteraction in the west
and central sectors"
The general said Outstanding
and magnificent characteristics"
|of the 9th Army are first, the
quality of its soldiers, and, second,
their determined and skillful use
Of f1repower on a scale unheard Of
in this or any other battle"

Missing Applications
For Locomotive Steel
Turn Up on NPA Desk
By Froncis P. Douglas

Locomotive builders applica-
tions for scarce steel. which a
House subcommittee was told had
been lost since the latter part OF
March, never were lost at all, an
NPA official said today.
He said the papers had been
in the Office of H. B. Mccoy, an
assistant administrator. He de-
clined to explain what had hap
pened to them, but he said Mr..
Mccoy will make a full explana-
ton to the Celler subcommittee
of the House Judiciary Commit
tee. Mr.. Mccoy himself was not
available for a statement. His
Office said he is out of the city,
This was the second set of pa
pers prepared for applications for
steel allotments by locomotive
builders after a first set had been
lost. A thorough search has been
made for the earlier set, the NPA
official said, and not only could
those papers not be found, but
there was no explanation for their
disappearance. .E
One Builder Got Steel.
The subcommittee interest was
aroused, not only by the state
ments that the papers had been
lost, but that, in the mixup, one
locomotive builder had obtained
the steel it had applied for. while
four of its competitors went
without.
The story of the missing papers
was unfolded to the subcommit-
tee by Col. William j. Knight on
Monday. Col. Knight is head of
the motive power unit of the NPA
railroad equipment division.
He said five locomotive builders
"a division of the General Mo-
tors Corp, American Locomotive
Co., Baldwin Lima Hamilton
Corp, the Fairbanks-M Morse Co.
and General Electric-all asked
for steel allotments, and applica-
tions were prepared. These were
sent on to the iron and steel divi-
sion, headed by Melvin w. Cole.
Col. Knight said an allotment
for General Motors was ap-
proved, but that the papers for
the other four companies could
not be found. This was mid
March. he said, and about a week
later another set of applications
for the four companies was pre-
pared and delivered to the iron
and steel division. He said these,
also, were lost.
Cole Approved All Five.
Mr.. Cole testified yesterday that
he approved priorities for steel for
the four companies, as well as for
GIN, but he could throw no light
on the disappearance of the
papers. He said he did not know
where the second set of papers
was.
At this point. E. Ernest Gold
stein, counsel for the Subcommit-
tee, said he had been told by NPA
late Tuesday that the papers had
been found and that they would
be delivered to the subcommittee
by 8 am. yesterday but that they
had not turned up. One Subcom-
mittee member suggested that this
time the messenger and the papers
both might be lost. Shortly be-
fore II am. the papers arrived.

Rep. Brooks Urges Use
Of Atomic Shells in Korea
BY the Assoeiofed Press

Representative Brooks, Demo-
crat. Of Louisiana, urged yester-
day that atomic artillery shells
be used by United States troops
fighting the Chinese Communists
In Korea.
He spoke as if the use or nom
use of such a weapon were only
a matter of choice, though Army
authorities have gone no further
than an expression of confidence
that it will be developed some
day.
Use of the shells, Mr.. Brooks
told the House. would shorten
the Korean war and "save the
lives of thousands of our soldiers,
sailors and airmen and will re-
lieve the strain upon our people
at home"
