Cannon at Manassas
Fired as Civil War
Battle Is Recalled

The calm hills and woods
around Henry House, scene of the
Battle of Bull Run, were Shattered
again yesterday by Civil War can
non.
But only wadded paper belched
forth as salute to the Goth ami
versary of the first battle of the
Civil War, fought on July 81,
1861.
Maj. Joseph Mills Hanson,
former superintendent of the
Manassas National Battlefield
Park. described the battle which
ragged for a full day over the roll
ing green hills.
Over 800 spectators crowded
into the shade offered by a grove
of elms. Many were members of
organizations memorializing the
efforts to found a Conferedate
States of America and knew the
STORY of the First Battle of Manas-
sas. Historians now refer to it
as the Battle of Bull Run.
"FirstS" Are Disclosed.
Maj. Hanson added some inter-
esting firsts to the Bull run
story. He told Of the first use of
telegraph in a military engage
ment. 1t was message sent by
Gen. Beauregard to Richmond,
asking for aid.
Another first, he said. was the
transportation of 10000 men OF
Gen. Joe Johnston's command att
Harpers Ferry by rail. They dis
embarked at Manassas Junction, a
railhead leading into the fruit
full Shenandoah Valley and joined
Jackson on Henry House hill.
They turned the tide of battle
which had begun at Sunup, caus-
ing it to end at sundown with
the Union Army under Gen. Irwin
Mcdowell in full flight.
Birth of Signal Corps.
The modern signal corps ac-
tually had its birth during this
battle, another first, accordig to
Maj. Hanson. 1t was because of
an alert signal officer that en-
Itrapment of the Confederate forces
was avoided just after Sunup.
| Finally, the famous rebel yell
was born amid the blood, smoke
and dust as Gen. Bee called to
his troops to rally around Jackson
and his men who were standing
like a stone wall" atop Henry
House hill.
The observance yesterday was
sponsored by the Confederate Me-
= mortal Committee of Washington
and Confederate groups of Ma
nassas. Wreaths were placed at
the mounted statue of Gen. Jack
son and at the Col. Francis S.
Barlow memorial.

That Iast-Ditch Legend

The stock defense offered for Mr..
Truman's extraordinary tolerance to-
ward the unSavory exposures of the
sord.d activities upon the part of
members of the White House circle
and his intimate friends in official
position is becoming somewhat worn
and frazzled Moreover, upon eXami-
nation, it just does not stand up.
In effect, this defense is that one of
Mr.. Truman's outstanding character
istics is "unshakable loyalty to his
friends. He trusts them. He does not
believe they would do anything
wrong and he will eight to the last
ditch" for them That is the legend,
but there have been instances where
his loyalty was not unshakable and
he did not Eight to the last ditch"
Notably this was true in the case of
Mr.. Louis johnson and again in the
case OF Mr.. James Bruce.
To both these men Mr.. Truman was
under great obligation. He struggled
hard to discharge these obligations,
but yielded to the very strong pres
sure against them. This is not said
particularly in criticism Of Mr. Tru-
man and it has nothing to do with the
respective merits of the Messrs. John
son and Bruce But the fact remains
that in dealing with them he lid not
live up to either the loyalty or the
'"last-ditch" advertisements. Especial
ly was this SO in the case Of Mr.

MaIik Denies Reports
|0f Peace Bids 10 u. ).
BY the Associated Press

UNITED NATIONS. N. Y, May
29.-Soviet Delegate Jacob A.
Malik yesterday knocked down as
completely groundless" reports
that he or the Soviet Union had
put out Korean peace feelers to
the United States, directly or
indirectly.
In a terse comment issued
through Soviet delegation
spokesman, Mr.. Malik thus put
the clincher on a series of denials
from all sides. The rumors had
persisted even though the United
States, U. N. and other officials
had insisted the Soviet Union
and Mr.. Malik were not making
any peace bids.
Delegates familiar with Russian
thinking speculated that Mr.
Malik's action was intended to
clear the way for attacks on the
United States and the U. N
policies in Korea during June
when he will be president of the
Security Council.
They reasoned he could not
logically assail the United States
while reports were flying around
that he wanted to talk peace with
the Americans.
