Allied Artillery
Stalls Chinese
Counterdttack
Enemy Beaten Back in
First Thrust Against
u. N. in Six Weeks
BY the Associated Press

TOKYO, Mar. 80. American
big guns today stalled the first
Chinese Red counterthrust in six
weeks along the Western Korean
battlefront.
Doughboys spotted the Chinese
moving along a mountain trial
north of Uijongbu. American ar
tillery pounded the mountain and
by dusk the Reds still had not
pushed through the curtain of
fire.
Bitter, close range fighting
fared all day throughout the
area. The Americans won a COM
manding hill with a nd-grenade
attack that rocked the Reds. back
on their heels.
10000 Moved Into Line.
The fury of Communist attacks
had forced Allied troops to give
ground at several points along
the front just south of the Red
Korean border.
The Reds have moved 10000
fresh troops into the front. Long
lines Of vehicles rushed Communist
troops and supplies toward the
battlefront.
Allied air spoilers last night tai
lied 1000 Red Yehicles-the largest
count of the war-jamming the
Red Korean transport network.
The Communists appear to be
massing troops and supplies for a
spring offensive. Allied COM
manders predict the Reds will hit
during the first three weeks Of
April. Seasonal rains turn one
Korean countryside into a vast
quagmire during that period. Deep
mud would bog down U. N. arnor.
Reds Stop Retreat.
There was every sign the Reds
had stopped their retreat and
would make stand along the Red
Korean border.
American troops on the cast
central front moved closer to the
border than they have ever been
on their present drive. They met
no opposition. Censorship with
held the distance.
Field dispatches said Allied
forces made fighting pullbackS in
few areas of the western and
central fronts.
The Reds poured heavy artil-
lery fire into Allied lines on the
central front. Patrol clashes
fared all along the battleline.
More than 80 U. N. and Rus
sian-built jet fighter planes
clashed over North Korea today
in two separate high-altitude dog
fights. Allied pilots claimed at
least one Red jet destroyed and
two others damaged. There was
no damage to American planes.

Strike Tension Mount,
To Dangerous Level
I'm Iranian Oil Fields
Teheron Moy Extend
Martial Law to Halt
Spread of Disorders
By the kssoeiofed Press

TEHERAN.. Iran, Mar. 30
Strike tension mounted to a dan
gerous level in parts of Trans
southern oil fields today, reliable
reports said. The government may
have to extend martial law to stop
the spread of disorders which the
informants said may get out of
hand"
Strikers at the oil fields are
demanding the right to organize
the transport service, which is
controled by the British owned
Anglo-Iranian Oil Co. in the whole
area.
| A company official said surren-
dering transport control would
mean unlimited opportunity for
the strikers to seize control of
the situation in the south. He
said the company also might lose
control of the situation if the
strikers decided on a mass move
ment to occupy the firms garages.
The official said the number of
strikers in the whole oil area has
reached $4,000. There are 10000
oil workers. The strikers, de-
manding higher pay, began walk
ing out when the company an
nounced it planned to cut living
allowances.
The martial law which had
been imposed in Teheran to dis
courage terrorist acts in the
nationalist demands to oust the
British from the oil fields, already
has been extended to some sec
tions of the oil fields. where ma
tionalist zealots are agitating
against the British.
However, official reports from
Abadan. the oil port. said that
thus far only two persons had
been arrested as agitators.
Thousands of employees of the
Maskid Suleiman oil field in
Southwest Iran were unable to
|get to their jobs yesterday because
transport and garage workers had
started sympathy strike.
A government source said the
governor general of Isfahan, 200
miles south of Teheran, had been
lgiven permission by the council
|of ministers to declare martial
law If necessary.

Senator Edwin c. johnson,

own share of the profit. he said,
was $3.50, ,000-earned on a $20,-

news of the indictment of the
former Peace Center and its Of

book.
II consider the right to speak
for peace, so deeply involved in
this case, the most critical issue Of
our time"
She said she regarded the book
as of great personal Importance,
but that she had returned ito join
my associates in defense of that
right"
