Van Fleet Reiferates
u. n. Offensive Could
Beat Reds in Korea
BY the Associa,ed Press

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 26.-
Gen. James A. Van Fleet insists
and emphatically-that the
powerful United Nations Army
could break the military stale
mate in Korea, if unleashed.
The retiring United States 9th
Army commander, arriving to an
enthusiastic welcome after %
months in Korea, declared:
my 9th Army can always ad-
vance another step and fire an
other shot,"
The 60-year-old Gen. Van
Fleet was given a ticker-tape
greeting as he rode through
Market street in downtown San
Francisco after a 17-gun harbor
salute.
Feted at Reception.
He was feted at civic
luncheon and reception in
which he was presented a gold
crested sword by the city.
Gen. Van Fleet told the 1000
guests Korea is the front line
Of freedom a battlefield
which. if lost, loses far more than
Korea. If Korea is lost, Japan
and the rest of Asia would soon
follow suit and the Pacific Ocean
would be Communist highway"
Then. at a press conference,
Gen. Van Fleet repeated the
question-and his anSwer-which
aroused so much Washington in
tereSt.
1t was the question put to him
by John Randolph, Associated
Press correspondent in Seoul
whether major offensive could
break the military deadlock in
Korea?
Emphatic in Reply.
His answer yesterday, as it was
in Tokyo, was the emphatic one
word:
Certainly.
II hope have made that clear
for all time" he added.
ANY offensive would break
the military deadlock which is of
our choosing and not imposed by
the enemy"
He gave no hint what recon-
mendationS he may make when
he meets with President Eisen-
hover and congressional leaders
Tuesday in Washington.
He said only that he is going
to Washington as "a humble
and modest commander to give
such information as the Presi-
dent and Congress may want
to the best of my ability"
Asked about possible Com
munist moves in Korea, Gen.
Van Fleet said:
Il don't believe they will sur
prise the 9th Army. I don't
think they are that good"
Stresses Front Line.
Throughout, Gen. Van Fleet
repeated:
Korea is the front line of
freedom"
He backed this up with five
gains which he termed outstand-
ing from the fighting there:
Il. We are still there defend
ing freedom in spite Of the Chi
neSe Communists.
20. The 9Th Army is the most
powerful field army ever COM
mitted to battle by any nation
or group. Of, NATIONS i'm history.
"3. The U. N. team is
concrete indication of the ability
of diverse nationalitieS to fight
together for a common cause.
4. The Republic of Korea
Army is the largest and most
modern military force we have in
Asia.
IS. Militant communism
communism by bloodshed-has
been dealt a Stinging blow"

New Regulation
Prohibits Feeding
Raw Garbage

A new regulation of the Mary
land State Board of Agriculture
prohibits feeding raw garbage to
swine, in order to prevent trans
mission of viral, bacterial and
parasitic diseases to animals
or man, The regulation, approved
by the State Board of Agriculture
on December 10, 1852, is to be
enforced by the Livestock SAM
tary Service.
The regulation calls for persons
feeding garbage to swine to Sc
cure permit form the State Board
of Agriculture. The permits must
be secured within 90 days after
the effective date of the regulation
and must be renewed yearly. The
regulation does not apply to farm
ers feeding their own household
garbage to pigs raised for their
own use. In areas where feeding of
garbage is prohibited by local reg
ulations, no permits will be issued.
Garbage is to be cooked at PIP
degrees F. for 80 minutes, or
treated in some other manner APP
proved by the Board of Agricul-
ture.
Sanitary provisions are pre-
scribed for farms feeding gar
bage. Feeding platforms and
troughs large enough to accomo-
date the entire herd must be con-
structed Of concrete, wood or some
other impervious material. Where
garbage feeding on the ground is
now practiced, reasonable time will
be allowed for the construction Of
approved platforms and troughs.
Premises must be kept free of col
lections of unused garbage and
waste materials. Rat and fly con-
troll measures must be practiced
as a further means Of preventing
the spread of diseases.
The new regulations also con-
tain provisions for inspection and
investigation Of garbage treating
plants, and requires them to keep
records available to the Board Of
Agriculture.
Permits may be refused or re-
voked in case of violation or re-
fusal to comply with provisions of
the regulation. Violations will also
be considered misdemeanors, and
may be published in the manner
prescribed by law.
More information on the regu-
lation and garbage feeding per-
mits can be obtained from the

considered until the next Quarterly

changed if not satisfactory. The
schedules adopted were effective
with the first Sunday in February
The new schedules are 900 am,
church services for Clarksburg;
10:15 am. church services for
Dickerson; and 11:30 am. church
services for Germantown. Every
one appeared to be in accord with
this adoption of schedules. The
Church School schedules will have
to be changed in accordance with
the new church services.
This merger action must meet
with the Bishops approval. DIR.
John C. MILAN was certainly
pleased with the splendid and
marvellous cooperation among the
churches in ironing out their plans,
schedules and finances.
He said the members showed a
real spirit of fellowship in making
this merger. Now the Charge
could face the future with new
hope and new spirit and with more
strength. He said real cooperation
calls for compromise and sacli-
flee. He hoped that each church
could meet the challenge and profit
by the change. He hoped further
that each Church would continue
to grow. Ora H. King of Clarks-
burg gave splendid welcome to
the members of the Germantown
Church. Ellis Robertson of Dicker-

welcoming of the Germantown
Church.
