Arrives
To Make Report 10
Congress
Truman, Acheson and
High Officials Welcome
General at Airport
By John A, Giles

Gen. Eisenhower landed at Ma
tional Airport in a sleet storm at
1922 pm. to be greeted by Presi-
dent Truman and high Govern
ment and diplomatic officials.
There was 500-foot ceiling as
the huge four-motored Constella-
ton was brought in on an in
strument landing. The general
waited in his plane at the far end
OF the runway for some 10 minutes
until the President, Secretary of
State Acheson and other notables
arrived.
The general has just completed
a Whirlwind 21-day European tour
during which he had conversa-
tions in the capitals of the other
ii Atlantic treaty powers. He is
repeatedly optimistic about Eu-
ropes ability and willingness to
resist the threat of Communist
aggression.
To Lunch With Trumans.
Mr.. Truman and Gen. Eisen-
hover left Immediately together
for Blair House, where they will
have lunch alone, during which
the general will give the first of
six major reports on his European
talks as supreme commander of

fense Forces.
AS the plane came to a stop on
the icy runway, Mr.. Truman
stepped forward to shake hands
with the general and asked:
Did you bring this (weather)
back with you?"
The general laughed and re-
piled:
II hope you're not going to get
pneumonia coming out here"
Mr.. Truman replied jokingly
that "they threatened me with it."
Neither the President nor the
general had anything to say about
the generals trip or what the
general plans to report to Con-
gress and the American people,
but there is every indication that
he will favor the dispatch of ad-
ditional American troops to
Europe and that he will report
that the European nations have
agreed to increase their defense
effort proportionately to theil
ability.
Sentiment Caused Concern.
While an apparent majority OF
Congress members supported the
idea of more troops to Europe
under the North Atlantic treaty
a large number obviously did not.
What caused some concern at
the Pentagon was the sentiment
throughout the country. The

TOKYO, Jan. 31.-Advancing
Allied forces attacked with bay
onets and grenades today after

This was seven miles northeast
of Suwon, on the east flank of

Held to Minor Gains.
Landing boats circled offshore
while rocket ships spewed deadly
missiles on Kosong. But no land

In Western Korea, stiffening
enemy opposition held the Allies
to minor gains. Allied planes
sighted $4,000 to 10000 Commu-
mist troops near Konjiam, a village
9 miles northeast of Kumyang-
jang.
A United Nations battalion was
being subjected to heavy mortar
and small arms fire 3 or miles
northeast of Kumyangjang, a 9th
Corps spokesman said. This was
the first mention of the 9th Corps
in some time.
At noon two American COM
panles were pinned down in fire
fights AZ miles north of Kun
yangjang. There were no further
reports on the two actions.
Patrol Routes Reds.
Farther east a U. N. patrol ran
into an unknown number of Reds
3 miles northwest of Sinchon this
morning and routed them. Sin
chon is about 8 miles northeast of
Yoju.
At 5:45 pm. (3:45 am. EST
the enemy launched a 2OO-man
counterattack 7 miles northeast
of Suwon that was still going on

ported the Reds had pulled out of

said there was generally no with

the largest in the past twenty years, being nearly
one million students Moreover, indca tions are that

The teaching shortage compels schools to employ

Every State reported inability to get adequately
trained teachers which means that many children
receive second-rate education. This is accentuated
by the serious building shortage which means double
sessions in some and part-time sessions in
others.

Tragic Jeep Accident

Not much got into papers about
the other victims of the jeep crash
that killed Gen. Walton Walker.
However, the South Koreans have
quietly sentenced the Korean driver
who crashed into Walkers jeep to
three years hard labor. The driver
was Kyong Mel PAX. His passengers
-Kuk Soon Lee, Chong Han Pax
and Man Joo Chong-were released
after investigation of the accident.
Three American soldiers in the

were evacuated to the Tokyo Gen
eral Hospital. They are: Lieut.. Col.

has done an amazing job. Yet he
did it with almost no reinforce
ments, and with larger number
of enemy forces against him than
faced U. N. forces when General
Macarthur was in direct command.
For an estimated Chinese force of
276,000 men plus 191 900 revitalized
North Koreans face Ridgway today,
more than the Communist army
that knocked Macarthur off bal
ance In North Korea and drove
him back across the 38th parallel
Not generally publicized is that
almost sole responsibility in Korea
has now been given to General
Ridgway. For all practical pur-
poses, Macarthur has been relieved
of the fighting Korean command
Technically, of course, this is not
true, because Macarthur still re-
mains supreme commander. Actu-
ally, however, Macarthur virtually
washed his hands of the Korean
war after Washington refused t6
send him the four National Guaro
divisions he requested early il
January.
Furthermore, Ridgway, coming
direct to Korea from the United
States, has been more Independent
than the field Generals who hae
served under Macarthur in japan
and who, having been close tt
him. looked to him for direction.
Pentagon officials emphasize tina
there has been no friction between
Macarthur and General Ridgway
The latter has merely used differ
ent tactics. He has quietly shaker
up his command at the divisional
level, has profited from Mac
Arthur's mistakes, has given tn
U. N. army a new shot in the arm
and has turned defeat compie'
on the part of the troops INTO
new fighting spirit.

explained that while 1--WE do have

Secretary of Agriculture Charley
Brannan was cautious. He explained
that we do not have any great

IF you say it is necessary we can
get 100000 tons or what is needed

DR.. D. A. Fitzgerald, ECA Food
Director, outlined midas needs.
He said that drought, floods, earth

tural calamity had hit India and
cut its grain production by 100000
to 100000 tons.
This is especially bad" he said,

Some cold water was thrown on
the project by James K. Knudson
of the Defense Transport Admin
istration who said that with the
railroad tieup it would be quite
difficult" to get the wheat to the
ports and he understood ocean
shipping was tight.
Several times during the discus
sion, President Truman interrupted
to ask Mr.. Hoover for his views
and whether he thought the plan
was feasible. Hoover's conclusion
! was: This country has never failed
to come to the rescue of the hum
CRY, and this appears to be wor-
thy cause"
When the meeting broke up, il
was significant that Hoover was
chosen as spokesman to explain
the conclusions of the conference
to the press.

Though on opposite sizes OF the
political fence, and vigorously dis
agreeing on foreign policy the
President of the United States and
the only living ex-presldent OF the
United States seem to have a
strong bond Of affection for each
other.
Herbert Hoover once paid sim
cere tribute to Harry Truman at
a Gridiron Club dinner. He has
been known to be grateful to Tru-
man for having lifted the ban
against him which for l3 long
years was imposed by Franklin
Roosevelt
Some White House friends have
argued that Truman made a mis-
take by inviting Hoover to Wash
ington for frequent conferences,
since the administrator blessing
has now put him in a position
where he could damage Truman's
foreign policy. However, the Presi-
dent has not agreed. and the
other Gay invited the ex-president
to help him regarding relief for
India.
Calling a meeting of cabinet
members and other advisers, Tru-
man introduced Hoover by saying
Il have invited President Hoover
because of his vast experience anc
humanitarian policies to advise US
on sending grain to India"
Hoover replied that, although hi
was not familiar with the Indian
problem, he had great respect fol-
Mr.. Truman's judgment, and he
was there to listen.
