RidgWay Emphasizes
Communists Wont
Call Off Korea War
BY the Assoeioted Press

A CENTRAL FRONT HEAD
QUARTERS, Korea, April g.
The Communists won't call this
thing off" because it is their firm
determination ito destroy us COM
pletely," 1t. Gen. Matthew B.
Ridgeway warned yesterday.
Speaking earnestly to corre-
spondents, the United States 9th
Army commander declared there
was no end of the Korean war
in sight, barring political set
tlement-and he knew of no ne
EQUATIONS toward one.
The danger with our people, J"
he said, sis their impatience, their
natural characteristic of impa-
tience.
I'VE went into this thing with
a Let's get the damned thing
over with attitude.
"Six Months Is Enough"
That's at the bottom of ro-
tatlon in a Way-a feeling six
months is enough; after six
months we can all go home
It's not in the Communist time
table-you don't go home. They
won't call this thing off.
The rotation he mentioned was
the newly-announced Washington
policy of sending home troops who
have been long in combat.
TITS not the end of big league
baseball season." Gen. Ridgway
cautioned. tits not the last strike
called in the final game of World
Series.
Life-and-Death Struggle.
"If the people back home are
expecting a definite end to the war
in Korea, when everybody gets up
and shakes hands, they should be
disabused of the idea.
There is nothing transitory
nothing temporary about the Com
munist determination to destroy
us completely.
AS far as the Communist lead
ers are concerned, this is an all
out life-and-death struggle.
"They have not varied their OBJ
jectives. They may vary their
tactics, their timing, their STRAIT
egy-yes-but their objectives,
neyer!"
Peiping Vows Vengeance.
CAS- if in support of Gen.
Ridgway's warning, the Peiping
Red radio yesterday broadcast
violent statement from the
official Peoples Daily, vowing
that 'the Chinese people will
yet make the enemy pay his
blood debts" and reiterating de-
termination to defeat the
American aggressors.
"They (the Reds) vary their
tactics as many times as superior
force - the only thing they ac-
knowledge-compels them to-" the
solemn 9th Army commander con-
tinued.
Of the new rotation policy, he
said, 1--WE are doing our utmost to
work this thing out. Frankly,
don't know the answer"
The general reiterated that he
couldn't emphasize enough" for
the people at home that six
months rotation for frontline
United States troops was not in
accord with the Communist time
table.

Mr.. Vinson plans to demand a
House vote on his amendment as
soon as the House resumes action.
This is an attempt to gain ap-
proval before opponents get a
crack at a substitute bill spon-
sored by Representative Barden,
Democrat, of North Carolina,
which would wipe out UNIT en-

Would Set Up Commission.
Mr.. Wilson'S new amendment
simply would set up commission
and instruct it to submit a UNIT
plan to Capitol Hill within six
months. Under the bill, it is not
planned youths would be indicted
for UNIT duty until such time as
they no longer are needed for
actual military service.
Predicting House acceptance of
the amendment, Mr.. Vinson said
it absolutely assures that within
a year there will be full approval
of UNIT"
Mr.. Kilday did not submit his
amendment on the college stu
dent deferment plan for COM

reporters his move would not for
bid the tests to be given after
hearing discussion of the plan
by Selective Service Director Lewis

Vote Tomorrow Possible.
The House will not begin vot-
ing on the controversial draft bill
until tomorrow or Wednesday
Aside from it's UNIT provision the
measure would cut the draft age
from 10 to 1872 and increase draft
service from 81 to 26 months.

Meanwhile, the Veterans OF

the growing criticism of the new
student deferment plan. The plan
would qualify students for de-
ferment if they reach a certain

new fire TRUCK
GIVES DEPART ENT
MODERN ASPECT
New Equipment Carries High
Pressure Hose And
Fog NOZZles

Oakland's Volunteer Fire Depart
ment is now equipped to render better
service than ever in combating fires
in Oakland and the surrounding farm
areas. A new 500-gallon pumper truck
was placed in use this week with two
lines of high-pressure hose and fog
nozzles, designed to suffocate fire
quickly with minimum amount Of
water.
The truck, costing approximately
1000, arrived last Thursday from
Battle Greek, Mich, from the Ameri-
can Fire Apparatus company, and
was given a thorough testing Tues
day by the Maryland Underwriters
Rating Bureau.
Known as a Duplex Multi-S Stage
Centrifugal pump, it is designed to
render maximum aid under both high
and low pressure, if both are needed.
Alva G. Gortner, president of the
fire company, said the majority of
fire calls concerned fires that could be
eXtinguished by use of high pressure
hose, which made the new truck OK
tremely valuable to area residents.
These fog nozzlcs, he explained, cause
fine spray of water under pressure
which quickly smothers open flames,
and the damage from water is very
! slight, because only small amount
is used.
The truck may be used for regular
low pressure streams of water at the
! same time, which makes it possible to
fight flames that have broken out of
control within the walls, as well as
open flames in rooms.
Mr.. Gortner said. the new truck car
ries two reels with about 400 feet each
of high pressure hose with fog noz-
zles, and an actual capacity of about
600 gallons of water. There is also
1000 feet Of ~ inch hose for low
pressure work, and thirty-five foot
aluminium extension ladder.
The local department plans to keep
both trucks that have been in use for
several years, giving this community
a department well above average. The
department has 1887 LaFrance $50
gallon pumper, and a 1871 LaFrance
500-gallon pumper. Until the new fire
department building is completed, the
new truck will be kept temporarily in
the Reckard and Glotfelty garage.
The new trucks chassis is a 3l2
ton Dodge make, obtained through
Ralph Pritts, after bids were asked.

Bill Setting Up
Tax on Production of
Gas Passes Assembly

Senate Bill No. 1l5, to set up am
occupation tax of seven percent of
the market value on natural gas
taken from the earth or waters of
Garrett county, as amended, passed
the Senate on Monday night, it was
learned.
This bill, with an amendment by
the House delegation, had passed the
House of Delegates earlier that day.
The amendment changed the tax from
the producer, making sixty percent of
it payable by the producer and forty
percent payable BY the purchaser.
The original bill put the entire seven
percent on the producer at the well.
Actually it would place an 042 per-
cent tax on the producer and 028 per-
cent tax on the purchaser.
The bill is now ready for the
governors signature to make it law.
The bill giving the state control
over where the wells would be drilled,
and the spacing of them, which
passed the House one day last week,
has reached the Senate where it has
been placed in the hands of the
Judiciary committee
Senator Neil c. Fraley said this
morning it appeared unlikely that
the Singewald bill to give the state
agency control would ever emerge
from the Judiciary committee.
A news release on this bill by the
Annapolis correspondent of the Bal
timore Sun, had this to say in last
fridays issue: cover the opposition
of majority of the three-man Gar
rett county delegation, the House of
Delegates tonight passed and sent to
the Senate a bill calling for rigid
supervision of that county's booming
natural gas field.
Under the measure the Depart
ment of Geology, Mines and Water
Resources would regulate the spacing
of wells, and ration the flow of gas.
arthur H. Green, delegate from
Garrett County, said he had been
able to find only one man in the
county who favored the restriction.
He was joined in his opposition by
George f. Coddington. The third dele
gate, H. C. Edwards, was not in the
chamber when the vote was. taken.
Edwards was at home i'll with in
fluenza. He returned to the House
on Tuesday,
Mr.. Green assured the citizens of
the county this week that there would
be no gambling legislation and no
liquor legislation at this session.
