 Allied probing troops were forced out of the key road-rail hub of Wonju in central Korea today by Reds attacking in overwhelm- ing numbers.
 An Associated Press field dis patch said the reinformed Allied patrol held off one attack. Then as Red fire subsided the Allied force withdrew to positions south of the city.

 General MacArthur on his quick visit with It. Gen. Matthews B. Ridgway in Korea, told a news conference:
 'No one is going to drive us into the sea. This command intends to maintain a military position in Korea just as long as the states men of the United Nations decide that we should do so.
 "The army stands resolute and undefeated, awaiting that further political decision which can come from the chancelleries of the world now faced with this new and entirely unanticipated prob lem."

 ((F Special Washington Service)
 WASHINGTON, R-The Sen- ate investigating committee hear ing into allocation of federal funds for the Palmer, Alaska, airport has been recessed indefinitely, af- ter a heated exchange over whe- ther the inquiry was an offshoot of the Alaska statehood fight.
 The assertion that the statehood fight question was involved in the Palmer investigation was made made Friday by Stanley McCutch- con, speaker of the Alaska House of Representatives, and attorney for the Territorial Aeronautical Commission.
 McCutcheon also denied that there was any intent to defraud the government and asserted that the Civil Aeronautics Administra- ton "knew exactly what we were doing every step of the way"
 The subcommittee is investigat- ing circumstances concerning the commissions rejection of one CAA-approved applicati o n for funds for an airport at Palmer and its submission of a second request listing higher land value figures. The second request would have raised federal participation in the program from $94,750 to $145, ,125.

10th Legislature COnyenes At Juneau

.J ulACdu
 JUNEAU, (P)-The 20th Territ- rial Legislature convened here to- day. All but four members of the Senate and House of Representa- lives were on hand for opening ceremonies.
 The Legislators were to be sworn in by District Judge George w. Folta, after their election had been certified by Lew Williams, Secretary of Alaska.
 Missing Legislators were Sen. John Butrovich, IT,, of Fairbanks; Rep. Andrew Hope of Sitka; Stan ley McCutcheon of Anchorage; and Frank C. Johnson of Rake.
 Butrovich was due here tomor- row from Seattle; Hope was due Joy steamer at noon today, Jahnson was delayed by weather and Nc Cutcheon was enroute from Wash ington, D. C., where he appeared at Palmer airport hearings.
 The Democrat-controlled House was expected to organize quickly with Rep. William A. Egan, Val deg, as probable choice for speak CT.
 The Senate, evenly divided with eight Democrats and eight Repub- licans, may wait until Butrovich arrives to complete it's organiza- ton.
 Whether the next session is as a Territorial or State Legislature, will depend on what happens in Congress, not what happens here.
 With control of the House solid ly in Democratic hands, 14 to TO-, the evenly divided Senate with one or two "unpredictables" in each party lineup-looks again like the chamber in which the big controversies will whirl.
 The lineup in the Senate on the election of a president and on the issues that will follow is a tough one to predict.
 On the Democratic side, Sen. Howard Lyng, of Nome, broke openly with Governor Gruening, with a bitter blast at him, after the election.
 Sen. James Nolan of Wrangen has been definitely opposed to many Democratic majority pro- posals.
 In the Republican camp, Sens. Anita Garnick of Juneau, Gun nard Engebreth of Anchorage and Pency Ipalook of Wales have sup ported number of proposals of the pro Gruening faction in the past.
 There seems to be little senti- ment among Legislators for in- creasing of taxes. Several have ex- pressed the opinion that some ironing out, and tightening up, of present tax laws should suffice. Liquor control proposals are an- other likely prospect.
 Sen. John Butrovich, who is ex- pected to be the Republican leader in the Senate, said he doesn't ex- pect any new taxes and that keep ing a tight rein on the budget is the major job.
 Sen. Steve McCutcheon of An chorage, who is likely to be the Democratic floor leader in the Senate, commented:

vishinsky Talks in Riddles Regarding
 il Downed Pliers

PARIS, Dec. 19-tR-Soviet For ei Il Minister Andrei Y. Vishinsky eA,.s today he hoped the four Am erican fliers forced down in Hungary would receive due attention from military justice authorities" in that Communist country.
 He did not elaborate on military justice" but this might indicate a military trial for the four men downed by Soviet fighters while off their course on a flight from west Germany to Belgrade, Yugoslayia
 Only yesterday a Budapest dis patch quoted Hungarian weekly as referring to testimony" of the detained fliers, indicating a pos sibiIity the Communists were at tempting to draw confession" from them.s
 Immediately after the talk Rep Mike Mansfield (D-Mont) of the U. s. delegation buttonholed Vishin- sky and demanded to know if ht meant there would be trial for tho fliers. Vishinsky said he was speak. ing in general terms and was no speaking for the Hungarian gov. ernment
 The Vishinsky remark was par of a barrage by the Soviet Unior against the United States Mutua Security Law.
 The Soviet timing aroused spec ulation. It appeared to be tiet in not only with the case of tn, four fliers held in Hungary, bu with Moscow's report today tha two men with Russian names wer executed as spies after having beer parachuted to Soviet soil from al American plane.

Korea Prisoner List Jnverified Says truman

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19-R-- President Truman issued special warning today that the prisoner of war list received from the Con- munists in Korea is entirely unver- flied and should be treated with skepticism.
 MT. Truman's press secretary Joseph Short, made the following statement to reporters:
 The President has asked me to urge every news medium to stress as often as possible that the pris- oner of war list is entirely unver- flied.
 He appreciates the efforts al- ready made along this line but be- lieves it important to continue them-to do even more than al- ready has been done.
 This country has no way of verifying whether the list is &C., curate or inaccurate, true or false, complete or incomplete.
 For the sake of the families whose sons are missing in action, everyone should treat this list with skepticism."
