STRENGTH OF ENEMY
 |5 TESTED
Tank Led U. N Infantry Patrols Cautiously Slab
 af Boundary Line
By The Associated Press

Tank-led United Nations infan- try patrols stabbed across the Kor- can 38th parallel several times to- day testing enemy strength. The Chinese Communists were reported massing their forces for an all-out spring offensive.
 After short periods north of the boundary, Allied patrols presumably returned to their main lines. One patrol on the West Central front encountered stiff enemy resistance one and half miles north of the border before pulling back.
 The Allied advance was cautious in the face of the expected all-out Chinese counterattack. Patrols led the way through heavy mine fields.
 Communist vehicles jammed the roads of Northwest Korea = more than 2,300 were spotted by Allied airmen last night.
 Y NIefltIdl MdChAblitti SOAAiAANAifaN>N said the main Chinese thrust might come in the Central sector, where the enemy is building up great strength in the Chorwon- -Kumhwa- Hwachon triangle.
 Hwachon is Is miles due north of Allied d-held Chunchon and seven miles north of the border separat- ing North and South Korea. United States units advanced east of Chun- chon without firing shot. Greek, Thailand tSiamese) and South Kor- can troops fighting with the Am ericans ran into pockets of resist ance north of chunchon.
 Allied warplanes punched at en- emy troop concentrations and build- up areas north of the border. On the Western front the Red Chinese planted mines to protect their flank while they carried forth their preparations on the Central front.
 There were no indications of any fresh Allied crossings of the bound ary line. No further advance was reported on the East Coast where South Korean troops are 10 to lz miles north of the border.

 To Gel Men
 Under 7OYrs,

! WASHINGTON, April 2-tR-Ad- ministration forces won the first tests today as the Senate drove to- ward a decision in the great debate over sending U. s. troops to serve in North Atlantic defense force in Europe.
 sAs session lasting into the night appeared probable before final vote on a Senate resolution on the troops issue.
 Knocked down by only two votes 40 to 44-was move by Senator Mcclellan (D-Ark) to put the Sen- ate on record as saying that no more than four additional divisions should be sent to Western Europe without further Congressional ap- proval."
 A vote of 62 to 27 rejected move by Senator Case (R-SD) to ban the sending of any foot soldiers under age 20.
 The committees resolution en- dorses the administration plan to send four divisions-about 100000 men--to join the two divisions al ready in Europe and ticketed for Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower's Wes- tern defense command. It also calls for Congressional approval of 'any new policy" for troop commitments beyond the four divisions.
 The Senate met two hours ear Her than usual in an effort to come to a final decision on the troops for Europe issue after weeks of de- bate.
 Two separate resolutions were be- fore it. Both would endorse the Administrations program. On e would express only Senate senti- ment. The other, if adopted by the Senate, would be sent on to the House.
 Neither resolution has the force of law They would call upon the President to get Congressional ap- provar without defining the term before assigning any additional forces. Legally. the President, who has contended he has the final authority on troop deployment, could ignore this advice.

French President Talks Straight to Joint Ses-
 sion of Congress

WASHINGTON, April 2. - tR = President Vincent Auriol of France told Congress today that if his country falls before the forces of aggression "the whole world, indeed civilization itself, will be in mortal danger"
 Addressing special Senate House session, he said to prevent such a disaster the West must base it's defense strategy on shielding" Western Europe against attack.
 The alternative, he said, is to "lberate a Europe which may once more be occupied, enslaved, ex- plotted and ravaged and whose name, you may be sure, would only recall the final ruin of civiliza- tion."
 Auriol's speech climaxed a formal six-day state visit here as guest of President Truman. He planned to leave by train for New York soon after for three more days of speech es. dinners and receptions.
 In his final appearance here, Auriol cautioned Americas legis- lators of the dangers of "uncoordl- mated diplomacy and strategy" The West must stand together, he said, building regional defense pacts ito deter aggression and strengthen the peace.'
 Auriol specifically mentioned only the 12-nation North Atlantic Pact and did not elaborate on his refer ence to possible additional "pacts.'
 The bespectacled chief of state vigorously defended the French fighting record France, he said, has lost 1882 1000 men as a result of the past two World Wars and is now fighting Communism in Korea and Indochina.' q

The W Washington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON Copyright. 1851. oy Bell Syndicate, Inc.

---~>~s>t " ASHINGTON. = One trouble with holding down prices is that some officials inside the office of Price Stabilization seem more in- terested in tipping prices than in preventing imitation.
 Here's an example of the public be-hanged behavior of certain of- ficals which occurred at a recent closed-door meeting between price official Charles w. Carvin and rep resentatives of the woolen industry.
 This meeting. like most of the important price-control meetings held in Washington, had no spokes- man for the consumer. The group consisted entirely of wool manufac- turers-with the exception Of Charles Carvin, the governments man. Carvin, however, is not ex- actly a friend of the consumer, haing spent most of his life in the textile industry and currently is on leave from his own large New York textile firm, Charles w. Carvin Co.
 During their meeting Carvin and the wool manufacturers discussed the question of how much of a price increase the manufacturers should get, and Carvin astonished the group with this advice:

Handicapped
Child
By Angelo Potri

When a game between sports
men Is played. a handicap is given
the players so that all have an
even chance to win and the con-
test is on the basis of skill. Those
who play so poorly that no handi-
cap could possibly enable them to
compete on an equal basis do not
enter The contest. They play on
their ewn, alone perhaps, or with
some one or two friends as bad
as thev are
Children who attend school are
Away playing in a contest. The
prize is a high mark, with the
appreciation of the teacher. In
every class there are pupils who
excel. pupils who do well, pupils
who do poorly so poorly that they
have no chance against the field.
It is for these that I want to
speak. The bright ones, the able
ones, learn easily and win easily
enough but the poor workers
need great deal of help.
II is not wise. of course, to neg
lect the bright children for the
dull ones Neither is it wise or
right to neglect the dull ones, put
them off in the back of the room
and let them sit there. Arrange
ments should be made to give the
bright and the able ones the at
tention they require, to give some
time to the slow, the dull and the
very Door students. They will need
to have the teacher close to them,
the steps OF the lesson very short,
and close together, the point made
sharp and clear, one point at a
time. The help of an older, bright
child who has a sympathetic soul
should be enlisted. Children like
these learn sooner from another
child than from an adult.
A t,mid child handicapped by
slow working mind cannot, for
example, stand before the class
and make an oral report on
text as the bright ones can and
he should not be asked to do SO.
He should be helped to write his
report and encouraged, befriended
until such time as he finds power
and courage sufficient for what
he feels is an ordeal. We must
always remember when teaching
children that some can and some
cannot and temper the wind to
the skorn lamb in the hope that
by so doing we will enable him.

FOAM RUBBER MATTRESS.
IRONING STACKS.
PLASTIC COVERS?
(From Mrs. v. A. B.. Greenbelt)
I have had a foam rubber mat
tress for a year and find 1t very
satisfactory. It holds its shape
beautifully and I doubt that it
would ever tend to sag at all.
This mattress is one which is sold
in combination with a red line
foundation and when used to-
gether is guaranteed for 20 years.
I had an innerspring before which
was quite soft and springy and
did lose its shape. However, when
I changed to the foam mattress
it did take at least a week to be-
come adjusted to its real firm
ness. Also, you will find that
there isn't any feeling Of rolling
toward the middle as often is the
case with others. This mattress
has no unpleasant odor as I
understand some foam rubber
mattresses do.
I have found a sleeve ironing
board a great help when I iron
boys school slacks. It Is just
the right size as the tops of the
waist and pockets can be thor
oughly ironed. I hope others may
find this helpful.
Now for a request. We have

ling chairs. My small son was
