Tor RusseIrs Blunt Statement on Ioft=kdurteu ou

All sorts of explanations have
been offered for Senator Dick
Russell's surprising declaration
in favor of Taft-Hartley repeal
or revision. Some have suggested
it is merely a clumsy effort to
win a share of the labor and
liberal vote at Chicago.
Others. not believing the
shrewd Georgian would waste
time on such q hopeless under

of thinking. To achieve this,

their out-and-out enemy; that
on the record he belongs in the
camp of Senators Sparkman and
Hill. rather than that of Sena-
tors Byrd and George. This,
they say, is essential if he
hopes for a hearing on the civil
rights issue. AS a matter of
fact there is reason to believe
that this has been the whole
purpose of Russell's candidacy
for the presidential nomination,
he not having deluded himself
that he can win it.
The die-hard Dixiecrats, who
thought they had a real symbol
of the South in Russell, have
no explanation, although one
here in Washington has sug-
geSted that maybe Dick was
overcome by the heat in Chi
cago.
Then there are those who
think that Senator Russell is
aiming at that one-half vote
which President Truman has
entrusted to his alternate in the
Missouri delegation-the one
half vote and all that may fol-
low in its train when its bene-
ficiary is known. The President
has always liked and respected
Senator Russell despite their
differences on some subjects.
CuriouSly, it does not seem
to occur to any of the inter-
prefers of Russell's statement
that he may simply have come
to the conclusion that the Taft
Hartley law is not good for the
country and, specifically, not
good for the South. If this is
true. his saying so should oc-

Voters Debating Korea Strategy
Gen. Clark Gets Feer Hand to Use Air and Naval Forces
As Administration Fears Old Policies Would Ir< Millions
Constantine Brown:

Gen. Mark Clark, supreme
allied commander in the Pa
cific, is said to have received
from Washington much more
of free hand to use his air
and naval forces in whatever
manner he thinks best than his
two predecessors, Gems. Douglas
Macarthur and Matthew Ridg-
way.
This radical change Of heart
by the administration is due
mainly to fear that a continual
ton of the strategy it had
ordered previously in Korea
might irk millions of voters.
And voters have now become
the darlings of both political
parties. Nothing must be done
between now and the Tuesday
after the first Monday" in No
vember to annoy or disturb
them.
The wide latitude given Gen.
Clark by Washington is frowned
on by our Allies and particularly
by the London government. The
indignation displayed by the La
Dor Party after the bombing of
the North Korean power plants
south of the Yalu River was
followed by a suggestion that
the British should have bet
ter liaison at Clark'S headquar-
tiers.
The State Department has
tened to approve, after consul
tation with the supreme COM
mander, the appointment of a
British general as deputy chief
of staff to Clark'S headquarters.
But this did not please the
British LaboriteS and some of
the Conservatives. They wanted
a political mission to super
wise the military plans in Korea.
In other words they wanted to
be represented in Tokyo by po-
litical and diplomatic person.

they are satisfied that the war
is being properly conducted in
a military manner" and the
spirit of the GIs is high once
more.
The thinly veiled warnings
given the enemy this week that
We may use air and naval forces
to hit his lines of supply wher-
ever they may be-that is, even
in Manchuria-also has had a
good effect on our troops. What
the reaction in Peiping and
Moscow may be is unknown for
the time being.
It appears certain, however,
that We are now entering a
new phase in the Korean war.
The United Nations representa-
tives will leave no stone un-
turned to obtain from the
enemy ceasefire-provided it
is within the framework of our
last concessions. We have
yielded a number of points but
must remain adamant on the
matter of the prisoners of war.
We shall continue to waste time
in endless negotiations as long
as the Chinese and North Ko-
rean delegates choose to sit in
conference with us at Pam
munjom.
But if Moscow should order
its puppets to make another
attempt to dislodge us from
Korea, Gen. Clark has free
hand to employ whatever
strategy he considers best to
answer the challenge regardless
of how our allies may feel about
it. The enemy's lines Of COM
munication-which are vitally
important in a relatively narrow
front as we now have-will be
attacked and destroyed regard
less Of whether they are in
North Korea or in Manchuria.
And this goes for his air bases.
In the event of a resump-
tion of Red aggression, it is
highly doubtful that the enemy
will further enjoy the privilege
of his sanctuary" across the
Yalu River.

Allied Troops Drive
| Reds Back on 'baIdy'
lin Furious Attack
By the Associated Press

SEOUL, Korea, July 19.-United
Nations infantrymen in a furious
dawn attack today forced back
Chinese Communists on "Old
Baldy" and then opened a new
assault against Reds on one slope
of the key western front hill.
The United States 9th Army
summary said the morning charge
supported by artillery and tank
fire carried the Allied troops to
within $50 yards of Red positions
on the northwestern slope.
The summary did not make
clear whether U. N. units had
reached the crest of the rain
soaked hill. Earlier it had been
described as a no-man'S land.
Allies Charge Again.
The 9th Army likewise did not
say how far back the Reds had
been driven by the initial thrust.
Fighting fell off during the day
but in the afternoon U. N. troops
charged ahead again, the 9th
Army summary said.
The dawn attack opened third
day of bitter, rain-drenched fight
ing for the hill west of Chorwon.
Seven Shells Minute.
From positions on "Old Baldy's"
northwest slope, the Reds yester-
day poured an average of seven
shells a minute at Allied positions
one of the heaviest Communist
artillery poundings of the war.
F'rontline officers said u. N.
soldiers ran into fire almost as
heavy today when the attacked

The battle has been raging since
10 pm. Thursday, when the Chi
nese opened up with a screeching
artillery barrage and Red infan-
trymen assaulted the height under
cover of Red tank fire.
Both Allied and Communist big
guns have been firing ever since.

to be unpalatable to Gen. Clark
who maintains that he can clear
any political matters through
Robert D. Murphy. our Am
bassador in Japan. He in turn
can present Clark's point of
view to his British colleague.
Foreign Secretary Anthony
Eden has taken the hint that
it would be unwise for the Lon
don government to press this
matter. He understands that
a large segment of the Ameri-
can people might interpret the
sending of a political mission
to Clark's headquarters as an
indication that Britain is try
ing to tie our hands in the
Korean war where our casual
ties have mounted to more than
10000. Britain's represent
less than S per cent Of that
number.
While our delegates continue
patiently to negotiate" with
their Communist opposite
numbers at Panmunjom, Gen.
Clark has made the necessary
dispositions to meet any situa-
ton. He has received impor-
tant air reinforcements and de-
spite the steel strike is said to
have everything needed to with
stand Communist ground on

to have received permission to
take any kind of retaliatory
measures he may deem neces-
sary if the Reds resume the war
on a large scale.
The destruction of the
enemy's hydroelectric plants in
North Korea by our air power
has not only drastically curtailed
the activities of the Communist
arsenals at Mukden but has also

of our own troops. They have

the Senator by nature is a
blunt man.
The Senator has seen the ex-
traordinary industrial develop
ment of the South. It has oc.
CURED in his own time. He is
aware that it has been due in
part to the abundance of cheap
labor. Cheap labor has been the
magnet that has drawn much
OF the textile industry away
from the North, so much that
the whole economy of New Eng
land is now threatened. To
combat this tendency toward a
lowering of wage standards
generally, the CIO and the AFL
have been carrying on organ
izing campaigns in the South
for some years. They have had
slight success and they hold the
t-Hartley law largely re-
sponsible for their failure.
Senator Russell seems to ac-
cept this view when he says
now that the Taft-Hartley law
''is weighted against labor"
Devoted as he is to the South,
the Senator could very well be-
lieve that it's enduring prosper
ity cannot rest on cheap labor.
that it must develop the mass
purchasing power of high wages
which supports prosperity in
other parts of the country.
An impoverished North can
not long be good for the South.
Already organized textile work.
erS in the North are being forced
to accept wage cuts to enable
their employers to compete with
Southern mills. That inevit-
ably will mean a reduction of
the wages of the unorganized
workers in the South-the be-
ginning of a vicious circle not
beneficial to either section or
the country as a whole.
Could be that Senator Rus
sell sees all this and is endeav-
oring to act while there is time.
