Scores Council
Plan for City
Emergency Meeting
Demands Voice in
Government Changes

Representatives of major Cit
liens organizations held an
session today and
unanimously voted opposition to
the Budget Bureaus plan for a
city council-city manager form Of
government for the District.
The resolution adopted by the
group made three points:
l. The citizens of the District
object to any plan of reorganiza-
ton of the city government being
adopted without letting the cit
izens know the details of the plan.
2. The plan proposed by the
Budget Bureau for a council-city
manager form of government Is
unacceptable.
5. The reorganization plan sug-
gested by the District Commits
Sioners - which is a streamlined
version of the present Commits
sloner form-meets the approval
of the citizens in principle.
White House Delegation.
The committee also voted re-
to send delegation Of
five representatives to the White
House to present the citizens ar
guments against the Budget Blu.
reau proposal.
Engineer Commissioner Bernard
L. Robinson said he thought this
move would help the cause for
continued Commissioner-type gov
ernment.
Moving along another line, the
committee voted to raise $2,500 to
pay for full-page advertisement
in all four Washington daily news
papers.
The Is persons attending the
session, held in the Board of Trade
conference room, represented
groups such as the Board of
Trade, the Federation of Citizens
Associations. the Federation Of
Civic Associations, the Federation
Of Businessmen's Associations, the
Federation Of Women's Clubs and
|others.
Mrs. Bartlett Chairman.
Mrs. Henry j. Bartlett, vice
president of the Federation of
Citizens Associations, was elected
chairman of the emergency COM
mittee.
Co-chairmen named were WOOL
Isey w. Hall. of the Federation Of
Civic Associations; Thomas j.
Groom, president of the Board of
Trade, and Mrs. Leslie B. Wright,
lof the Federation of Women's
Clubs.
Commissioners F. Joseph Dom
aohue and Gen. Robinson arrived
at the meeting after attending a
conference with Budget Bureau
officials earlier.
Mr.. Donohue told the citizens
there was mo area of compro-
mise" in the two plans as far as
the general form of government
was concerned. There is room
for compromise at the bottom, he
said.
Endorsement Toned Down.
Gen. Robinson declared, I'VE
still don't know what the Budget
Bureau plan entails" He pointed
out that many Objectionable fea-
lures may be contained in the
detailed plan, which has not been
given to the Commissioners or
the public.
An unqualified Endorsement Of
the Commissioners plan, offered
by c. Melvin Sharpe. president
of the Board of Education, was
toned down. Others at the meet
ing pointed out that many of the
organizations favored home rule
and couldn't indorse the Commits
sioners' plan outright.
The resolution as finally worded
said the Commissioners plan was
acceptable.

Red Strength Double
During Truce Talks,
Gen. Clark Says
BY the Assoeiaisd Press

Gen. Mark w. Clark says the
Reds have doubled their air
ground strength in Korea during
the truce talks but could not sus-
tain a major offensive for more
than two or three weeks.
The United Nations commander
reasoned:
1. The Communists have plenty
Of supplies but are incapable of
moving them In the face Of UN
air attacks.
2. The Allies-without increas-
ing their numerical strength dur
ing the past year-have been
trained intensively and improved
their defenSes from front to rear
to meet any eventuality.
Attack Would Be Costly.
,The enemy buildup has been
quantitative while ours has, for
the most part. been qualitative, -
Gen. Clark said. I'VE are conf
dent that we can make any fu-
ture enemy offensive the most
costly he has yet undertaken"
The Far East commander. in q
copyrighted interview in United
States News and World Report, q
weekly news magazine, said the
Communists since June l, 1850,
have swelled their ground strength
from half a million to nearly
million men and their air power
from 1000 to 1000 planes. Halt
the planes. he added, are estimated
to be jets.
One Of the principal jobs Of the
Allies in the past year, Gen. CLARK
said. has been to pull South Ko-
rean units out of the line and
train them intensively. Now, he
said, "they are hard-hitting, effi-
cient divisions"
Gen. Clark said it was important
to match the Reds armed might
because added military strength
gives them increased confidence in
their ability to dominate confer
ences and negotiations"
Probing Steps-up Action.
He said a current set-up ir
frontline action has been due
largely to increased u. N. probing
to learn the dispositions and in.
tentions Of the enemy. He de.
clined to forecast the outcome o1
the truce negotiations but said 81
would caution against any feel
ings Of undue optimism"
If the prisoner of war disagree
ment is settled. he said. the nego-
tiators will have to re-examine
the problem of a military demar-
cation line and q demilitarized
zone. The original agreement was
good only if a pact was reached
within 80 days. That period ex-
|pired December ~, 1851.
He said the Red prisoners are
now under complete control and
will remain so in the future.

u. n. Infantry Drives
China Reds Off Crest
OF West Korea Hill
BY the Assoeicied Press

SEOUL. Korea. July 21.-
United Nations infantrymen to-
day drove Chinese Communists
OF the crest of Old Baldy on the
Korean western front in the wake
Of a tremendous barrage by
artillery, tanks and warplanes.
Gen. Mark Clark's headquar-
ters In Tokyo said the bitterly
contested height west Of Chorwon
was captured. But front-line dis
patches indicated the crest Of the
hill was a no-man's land with
u. N. troops dug in below the
crest.
Chinese Haven't Quit.
An 9th Army staff officer said
the hill definitely was not secured.
Associated Press Correspondent
George Macarthur at the front
said the Chinese had not given
up their bid for the vital hill they
wrested from the Allies last
Thursday. He said Chinese foot
soldiers were observed sneaking
back toward the hill in the after
noon despite intense Allied fire.
The 9Th Army nightly summary
said "the enemy believed to be
still in the immediate area"
Allied infantrymen, stopped cold
in eight earlier charges up the
muddy hill, reached the crest at
dawn. They reported that the
Allied barrage had forced the Reds
to withdraw. The u. N. troops
then pulled back off the crest.
50 Planes Strafe Hill.
More than so u. N. planes raked
the hill with flaming gasoline.
rockets and machine-gun fire. U.
N. tanks and artillery blanketed
the hill with screeching shells.
Chinese casualties were re-
ported heavy but an Allied officer
told Mr.. Macarthur: 1--WE can't
get on the hill to count them"
Communist artillery fire was
heavy but did not equal that of
the Allied guns. However, it
knocked out two of the supports
ing u. N. tanks.
Both sides continued hurting
artillery and mortar shells this
afternoon.
Action across the rest of the
front was relatively moderate.
