RED SUPPLY ROUTE NOW
 ATTACKED
Connie Force Reported Moving in 'Utier Confus-
 ion" on i Korean Front
By Associated Press

Tank-led American forces punch ed six miles into the battered East ern flank of the Red battleline to- day on the Central Korean war front
 The armored patrol of the U. s. Seventh Division was within sight of Amidong 31 miles south of Par allel 38 - the northernmost pene- tration by American forces on the East-Centrol front.
 Other division elements pushed westward from the anchor point of Pangnim and linked up with the U. s. Second Division on the vital lateral highway to Hoengsong 28 miles to the west.
 The link-up broadened from 8 to l3 miles the American control of the Red supply route.
 Reds In Confusion
 The Seventh Division patrol thrusting six miles north of Pang- nim reported the Reds were disor- ganized and moving in all direc- tions. One officer told AP Corre- spondent Tom Stone the Reds might be attempting to regroup but more likely" were moving in utter con- fusion.'
 The officer said the Reds were surrendering in ever increasing numbers. He added: They're just getting bellyfull."
 Amidong is six miles south of Changdong and some 40 air miles inland from the east coast. Aerial spotters reported Changdong may be an assembly point for the Kor- can Reds.
 Spring Push Reported
 It was the major ground action in the eight-day-old operation kil- Ter" offensive aimed primarily at wiping out the Communists and up- setting their timetable for a possible spring counteroffensive.
 Chinese prisoners reported the enemy plans major push next month by B divisions of Red China's third field army = 100000 men backed by 1000 planes. Allied Intelligence officers gave the re- port considerable credence.
 S. K. Marines in Raid
 A delayed announcement said South Korean Marines stormed ashore near Ongjin, within five miles of the 38th Parallel northwest of Seoul Sunday They reported killing Red brigade commander and 20 other officers and capturing equipment and documents before returning to their ships. South Koreans captured their fifth island in two weeks in and near Wonsan harbor on the east coast.
 A U. s. Third Division patrol stabbed into Seoul last night and killed six Reds and captured an- other before pulling out again. The Far East Air Force blasted Communist supply lines and rail /, centers.

WAGE FREEZE PUTS LABOR
 IN QUANDRY

WASHINGTON, Feb. 28 -R- The nations top labor leaders de- bated today whether to fight the governments new wage ceilings or to cooperate in the hope they will be relaxed as recommended by Sta- bilizer Eric Johnston.
 Johnston, aIJer almost two weeks of deliberation, signed the wage boards regulation No. 6, limiting wage increases to 10 per cent above Jan. IS, 1850 levels. Simultaneously he asked the board to soften that formula in seven important ways.
 A meeting was called by Board Chairman Cyrus s. Ching to con- slider Johnston's recommendations, and = if necessary to avert the re- ported crises building up over new increases due March l to act today or tomorrow.
 The Big Question
 The big question mark was: How would labor react? Initial comment of labor leaders was unfavorable to the Johnston solution to the de- limma which has vexed them all since the three labor members walked out of the wage stabilization board Feb. Is in a huff over the formula. The ceiling was proposed by a to vote, with public and industry members in the majority.
 None of the labor union chiefs would predict what their United Labor Policy Committee would do.
 Labor Not Satisfied
 AFL President William Green said yesterday that if Johnston signed the order and left the amend ments to the board. labor would not be satisfied.
 Stabilization officials took an- other big step last night, announc- ing new system of price controls which will apply to more than 20o,- 900 retail stores selling clothing, shoes, furniture, rugs and textile commodities. It replaces the Jan. 25 price freeze with controls over mark-ups allowed retailers.
 The Office of Price Stabilization expected the action to bring about both price rollbacks and advances. Officials said they couldn't be suse which would predominate but many price changes were certain.

 I shall be travelling in Europe and countries adjacent to the iron curtain for the next two or three weeks. During that time you may have to write an occasional emer- gency column in case I get too far away from a cable office or the going gets tough.
 In writing such columns please bear in mind the following:

Both houses of the legislature voted today for joint session to- morrow morning as the first step toward possible overhauling of ter ritorial financial operations.
 The 9 am. session will be open, with the governor and heads of all departments invited.
 A special committee recommend ed the joint session, after confer ence last night, to allow all legis- lators to hear the report and recom- mendation of consultant from the Council of State Governments.
 The committee acted after hear ing a report by H. Clyde Reeves, Kentucky revenue commissioner who was sent here as a consultant by the Council of State Govern ments.
 Ten legislators at the bipartisan session expressed themselves favor ably on a proposal which would create a Department of Finance, headed by an executive who in eff feet would be a general financial manager for the Territorial Govern ment
 Proposed Plan
 The plan would bring all offices and departments under closer fi- nancial supervision and create an independent auditing section as a watchdog. All budgets would be closely scrutinized.
 Possible revision of the Board of Administration, to include legisla- tive leaders instead of elective of ficials whose budgets come under the boards scrutiny also was sug- gested.
 If the Legislature takes the same favorable view as the special com mittee did in three-hour session. legislators will instruct Reeves to draft a bill for legislative action ClllS StSSlOl.
 Reeves will remain here though next week.
 Reeves Who Is He?
 Which raises the question: Who's Reeves?
 Reeves was named Kentucky rev. enue commissioner in 1889 and has filled the appointive job under four governors. He took time out for four years as a Coast Guard officer and his only previous visit to Alaska was in September 1945. He left his ship in the Aleutians and stopped off at Ketchikan on the way home to put his lieutenant commanders uniform into mothballs. He also took more than year off to manage a transportation com- pany.
 He is a part-time professor of government economies at the Uni versity of Kentucky. He has been consultant to two state govern ments, a couple of Federal agencies and has gone over seas twice in con sultant roles. Once he went to Paris as a fiscal adm nistration adviser ! to a United Nations group. Last year he went to Guam to assist in

When their ruse became appar-
ant, U. N. artillery and warplanes
opened up on them
AT least so Reds were killed by
