Chief concentration points were at Yonchon (1) and northwest of Seoul (2). A Red attack (3) northeast of Kumchon, pushed back the South Koreans more than a mile. Red patrols were near Kaesong (4) . South Korean troops fought a preliminary battle near Ilyon (5) . Reds were also massed north of Chunchon (6). KOREA: The Story Repeated The story of the Korean battle seemed to repeat itself. Forced to withdraw from North Korea after pushing the Communists out of South Korea and almost to the Man churian border,1 U. N. forces re ceived the full force of Chinese and North Korean troops as they plunged south of the 38th parallel. U. N. troops gave ground and further retreats appear in store for them. The main feature of the at tack was the overwhelming num bers of Chinese and North Koreans rushing U. N. defense positions. At least 200,000 men were thrown Into the first attack. The Communist plan for the con quest of South Korea was to sepa rate the eastern and western sec tions of the defense line, isloate them and then destroy them at will. Meanwhile, observers who recent ly returned from Korea report the morale of the soldier at the battle- - front much better than that on the homefront. Americans at home were pictured as frightened, frustrated, a n d swept with recurrent waves of de featism and despair. The men in battle were pictured as neither frightened nor discouraged. There was no criticism of Ameri can leadership in the war or critic ism of the fighting ability of any nation’s troops. ARMY: New Call Issued The army called for 80,000 draft ees in March, raising total draft quotas to 450,000 since the Korean outbreak. Eighty thousand had al ready been scheduled for January and February. With the armed forces building toward a manpower total of some 3% million as rapidly as possible, the army anticipated a combat strength equivalent to 24 divisions when the current expansion goal is reached next July 1. An infantry division numbers 18,- 000 men and is a self contained fighting u n i t with supporting weapons such as tanks and ar tillery. At the beginning of the Ko rean conflict the army had 10 divi sions, only one at full war strength. It had 11 regular divisions, with four national guard divisions and two guard regimental combat teams (usually 5,000 men) as of January 1. Selective Service officials report ed 217,000 men had been delivered to the army up to January. TAXES: Higher in 1951 ' With the new congress in ses sion, President Truman was ex pected to ask for more taxes at any moment to meet the mounting cost of the nation’s defense. Although the size of the new tax program was not disclosed, one adminisration official1 reported the President would try to put the gov ernment as nearly as possible on a pay-as-you-go basis. The program, however, will include higher per sonal and corporation levies. It seems unlikely that a new tax program can bring expenditures and receipts into balance because spending for the fiscal year 1951 may reach $75,000,000,000. The pres ent tax program, including the ex- cess-profits tax, will yield revenues of only about $45,000,000,000. Generals Wait MaJ. Gen. Doyle O. Hickey, chief of staff, and Gen. Doug las MacArthur are shown keep ing a somber vigil at Haneda airport for the arrival of the body of Lt. Gen. Walton H. Walker, late commanding offi cer of the 8tb U. S. army, who was killed In an accident In Ko rea. Walker’s body was being sent to the U. S. for burial In Arlington cemetery. JAPAN: • U.S. Plans Treaty The United States made it clear, if in a round-about way, that Japan will get a peace treaty. The U. S. handed Russia a note that said in effect that this country was going to negotiate a treaty—without Rus sia if necessary. The important item in the note fiom the American viewpoint was the paragraph that stated: The United States believes it is reason able for Japan, upon conclusion of a peace treaty, to make arrange ments for self-defense which could “include provision for the station ing in Japan of troops of the United States and other nations.” In other words, the U. S. made lt clear that Japan would be allowed to rearm and that this country has every intention of keeping Japan in the democratic column. The note let fly with a haymaker by stating that rearming Japan was necessary because “irrespon sible militarism has not been driven from the world.” The note told the Russians that the Formosa question must be settled in the light of the U.N. charter, \the obligations of which, prevail over any other internation al agreement.” This appeared to be a diplomatic way of telling the Soviet that the U. S. does not consider itself bound to hand Formosa over to the Chi nese Communists whose armies are fighting U.N. forces in Korea. CASUALTIES: Totol at 38,325 As of January 1 the army had announced casualties in the Korean fighting totaling 38.325 That was an increase of almost 2,000 over the previous casualty list. The number of dead mounted to 6,432, including 5,742 killed in ac tion, 684 who died of wounds and six dead among those who had been reported missing. There were 27,012 wounded, in cluding the 684 who later died of their injuries. The number of miss ing were listed at 4,753. Of the total, the army suffered 32,066 casualties, the marines 5,- 524, the navy 429 and the air force 30G. MARCH OP DIMES March o f Dimes Fund Campaign The 1951 March of Dimes cam paign began Mond y throughout the United States as a massive attack against the only epidemic disease known to man that is still on the in crease—a disease that in thé last three years has stricken more than 100,000 people and cost the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis an unprecedented $ 58 , 000,000 for patiént-care alone. In 1950 March of Dime^finds had assisted in some measure more than 54,000 polio victims at a cost of $20,000,000. The national fund at the moment is at the lowest point it.has been sincje the organization was founded in 1938, officials re ported. The foundation reported four out of every five of the stricken needed —and received—financial assistance. BIG FOUR; Conference Plan Some weeks ago the United States, Britain, and France pro posed that another big four con ference be held In an effort to set tle the many pressing world prob lems. After long weeks of waiting, the Russians replied. Officials would not reveal just what was in the Kremlin reply. It was evident, however, that the western powers were disappointed and that a big-four meeting was not closer than when it was first proposed. It was believed that Russia was not prepared for any unqualified discussion of the many galling points of friction between the wes tern democracies and the totalitar ian Soviet system. It was also rumored that Russia wanted the western powers to ac cept the Prague declaration which served notice that the Communist led nations of eastern Europe would not tolerate rearmament of western Germany. Russia was also reported to have taken the stand that Communist China would be represented before any discussion of the, explosive situation in the far east could be undertaken. No one in his right mind could believe that the United States would accept any of the conditions. Thus the conclusion that a big four con ference is not likely in the near future. ACHESON: Production and Faith Secretary of State Dean Acheson gave the United States a prescrip tion for 1951—“production and faith”. Acheson, in a radio interview, said we have the power to retaliate against any aggressor who attacks us and our friends and that power cannot be overlooked. \We expect to make ourselves respected and to deter aggression,” he said. \The prescription which we need today is the prescription which Mr. Churchill gave to England in 1940 —blood and toil, sweat and tears— and may I add, faith—faith In our country, faith that the great task before us can be done and that it will be done.” Acheson’s statement was remark able in that he echoed a growing belief throughout th e country. Americans who had been described as frightened and frustrated in 1950 seemed to be settling down quickly to a new year of sacrifice and deter mination. The last few months have been called America’s darkest hour, but they may be even darker before the United States is fully rearmed and ready to face its enemies. THC HOmE Tow n f t P O P T E P IN WASHINGTON WALTER SHCAO, WNU Cairo spendout Water Report Filed À TRAFFIC: A War at Home While American troops were be ing killed in Korea, Americans at home slaughtered themselves on the highways during the Christmas and New Years’ holidays. Complete tabulations were not complete for the New Years’ holi day, but during Christmas there were 724 violent deaths in the Unit ed States, 545 of them in traffic mishaps. The accident rate was more than 100 above the number of persons killed in traffic accidents during the 1949 Christmas holiday. The 1950 toll almost equaled the record of 555 set in 1936. In the city of Los Angeles alone there were 11 traffic deaths, 900 injured, and a total of 1,084 acci dents. It was significant to note that police in that city charged 352 persons with driving while intoxi cated and another 1,222 were charged with drunkenness. Only one state—South Dakota- escaped without a single reported fatality that could be attributed to the Christmas observance. Witness Mrs. Ann Moos Remington, ex-wife of former commerce official, »William Remington, testified in federal court that seven years ago : Remington turned over \top secret” ex plosives formulas to confessed spy Elizabeth Bentley for trans mission to Russia. Remington is being tried for perjury. MARSHALL: Let's Go Easy Secretary of Defense George Mar shall warned the nation in the clos ing days of 1950 to go easy, that \a too rapid attempt at mobilization was apt to delay the ultimate speed” of rearmament. Marshall said that there is, “a tendency to feel that the more rapidly we appropriate billions anc the more rapidly men are callcc into service, the safer we will be.’ That isn’t true, he explained. I B D O C B f f l C F ” MAHONEY FTER MONTHS of research, the President’s water resources policy commission, has filed a re port which promises to be contro versial to the utmost but which: (1) urges development only of en tire river basins as a unit; (2) en actment of a single national water resources policy law controlling the activities and departments of gov ernments; (3) fixing role of the federal government as one of lead ership and that only the United States as a whole is powerful enough, wealthy enpugh and in terested enough to tackle in their entirety the tremendously expen sive, slow repaying, but demon strably worthwhile projects, and (4) a proper program must include reclamation, irrigation, flood \con trol, silt control, navigation, pro visions for dome- ~ water supplies, wild life preser .¡on and recrea tion. To plan for anything less would be wasting a part of the nation’s substance. This seven-man commission is composed of Morris L. Cooke, en gineer, chairman; R. R. Reene, president Montana State College; Lewis W. Jones, president Univer sity of Arkansas; Gilbert White, president Haverford College; Sam uel N. Morris, department of water and power, city of Los Angeles; Paul S, Burgess, dean. College of Agriculture, University of Arizona and Leland D. Olds, former chair man of the federal power commis sion. That the report of this commis sion will have repercussions in the private power industry, and indeed within the federal agencies now jealously handling this work piece meal, is putting it mildly. The report points out that with regard to hydro-electric power, it is the workhorse which pulls the valley wagon and without it the cost for the balance of the pro gram would be prohibitive and un economical, and that to plan for anything less than an overall con servation program would violate the federal water power act of 1920. • * • Wholesale Rates Cut Throwing down the gauntlet to the private power interests which op pose any such program, the report declares that where publicly owned power has gone into competition with private utilities (as in central Texas) it has been found possible to reduce wholesale rates in some cases by about 50 percent. There the commission recommends an increasing responsibility ih the field of water-power development and in the marketing of that pow er in such a manner as to protect the right of citizens in any commu nity to undertake the meeting of their power requirements on a pub lic or cooperative basis. * • * Power Needs Increase Going into the power needs of the country, the commission esti mates the country will need an in crease of 93 million kilowatts of electric capacity and some 400 bil lion kilowatt hours a year of elec tric energy over the next 20 years. This, the report says, will require the joint efforts of both public and private power enterprises and that the relationship of hydro-electric power to government water re sources programs renders it cer tain that the public contribution will be particularly in the water power field. • • • Recommendations Made The commission recommended (1) full development of the unde veloped water power resources of the country’s streams as a major government responsibility; (2) li censing of private power projects which interfere with the full ac complishment of comprehensive multiple-purpose development of river basin, including marketing of the power incident to such pro grams in accordance with the pur pose of congress; (3) government hydro-electric plants be designed to produce ultimate capacity and energy which will best fit into the requirements of existing and po tential m a r k e ts/^ ) approval of a congressional policy embracing au thority of federal power market ing agencies to construct trans mission facilities and to grant pre ference to public and cooperative distribution systems; (5) insurance of marketing flexibility for most effective cooperation of all pow er systems, private and public; (6) in areas whiTre the government as sumes major responsibility, gen erating tapacity should include both hydro-electric or steam. • • • Projects Recommended The report sets out 10 drainage basins including the Columbia, Central Valley of California, Colo rado, Rio Grande. -Missouri, Ohio, Tennessee, Alabama-Coosa, Potom ac and the Connecticut, for consider ation on the theory that they should be self-sufficient. Considering what the future holds, the commission said, for these river basins there need be little doubt as to the far- reaching e 'rect of a completed pro gram of developing waterjresources. ■SPORTLIGHT Golf Swing Takes in Whole Body -By GRANTLAND ¡UCE Grantland Rice S AM SNEAD HAPPENS to have one of the greatest natural golf swings the game has ever known. This takes in Vardon, Braid, Taylor, Jones, Hagen, Sarazen, Hogan and Nelson. But it might also be remembered that Sammy Snead is also a high- class golf instruc tor at White Sul phur Springs, W Va., where he is home pro. And while Snead is on the tourna ment trail quite a bit, he is also at home quite often, giving lessons. It isn’t generally known that Snead was a football, basketball and baseball star in high school as well as a fellow with abili ty to play golf. A short while bac I was talking with Sammy about the intricate quality of the golf swing, when it came to the teaching side. “One trouble In teaching the golf swing,\ Snead said, “is the territory it covers. It starts with the head—an Important factor—and it runs on to the feet —another important factor. Be- ■ tween head and feet, it takes In body, hips, knees, hands, wrists and just about everything the human system has. \If your head action is poor, the swing is poor. If your foot action is bad, the swing's no good I'd say you must start with the balance, and that begins with the feet. You know balance isn’t a post stuck in the ground. The feet must move and work with the swing. When you start the backswing with your hands and arms, the shoulders and hips and knees must all work to gether. One part of the swing can’t work against another part. “I would say,” Sam added, \that the swing starts all together. Once the hands start to move the club head, the left side also begins to turn. You can’t leave the left shoul der, left hip or left knee behind— especially the left shoulder. You can’t split up the swing in sections as so many try to do. “It's a tough job to teach anyone to put all these parts together.” • • * The Biggest Faults About this time I asked Ben Hogan the first move he made on the downswing. “Get the left side out the way and the left heel back in place,\ he said. “Then you have something to hit against. Most golfers start their hands too quickly on the downswing.\ “That’s another thing you have to watch in teaching,” Snead said. “Don’t hurry the downswing. “The average golfer starts his downswing before he finishes his backswing. He’s only thinking of H O W U A K i n V P Q ’ C BB SHOT MAY BE USED TO T l A I N U T D D □ FORCE DIRT FROM KINKED FUEL*OIL LINE THROUGH WHICH WIRE WILL.NOT PASS BECAUSE OF BENDS,USE SHOT OF SIZE THAT WILL ROLL F R E E L V . . . - __________ _ socking that ball. He can’t wait to get in position to sock it. A golfer who keeps his head anchored, who doesn’t rush his backswing or hurry his downswing, will shoot pretty good golf, even if he makes other mistakes. “One trouble In teaching golf is there are so many things you can do wrong. Somebody has written there are 132 ways to slice. Sometimes I almost be lieve it. I can’t understand why most golf Instructors don't go up to the top of tall buildings and jump off. Not because their pupils are dumb, but because It Is such a hard game to teach.” “What is the most common fault in golf?\ I asked Snead. \Too much tension—too much stiffness—is the main fault,” he said. \They get all locked up even when you give 'em the right stance and the right grip. But outside of tension, they have a lot of trouble with body action—I mean in keep ing the body in place, in helping hand action instead of hurting it. The body is likely to overpower the hands and arms.” “Which is harder,\ 1 asked. “To teach golf or play tournament golf?” “Both are tough ways to make a living,” he said. • » • Texas Fever Football knew one of its biggest years in this free <now and then) land in 1950. But it reached an all- time height in Texas where every past attendance mark was broken this fall. Not only that, but every type of emotional stress was just about doubled. It was SMU that got the jump by beating Ohio State. It was SMU that took a smart lead ver Army and Oklahoma in the early polls, only to bog down in the stretch. Any number of games in this mas sive state drew from 60,000 to 75,- 000 people. In one day the Cotton Bowl at Dallas offered a double- header, afternoon and night, to 151, 000 spectators. They can handle 76,000 at Dallas. They can take care of 70,000 at Rice. They can accom modate over 60,000 at Austin. And now they are waiting for what they feel sure will be the de capitation of Tennessee in the Cot ton Bowl on Jan. 1. Fiery Texas supporters are willing to admit that Bob Neyland's Tennessee squad is extremely good. “We know Tennessee Is the best in the south,” one football veteran said. “But the south Isn’t in the same league—or the same class—with the southwest. \We know Tennessee has a strong line. But it has no line that can match the big one that Texas has We still think Texas is better than Oklahoma, the team that beat us by a single point. It wouldn’t happen again.” People Too Rich N EVER BEFORE, in all our his tory, so far as I know, has the nation faced so many grave prob lems at one and the same time. First, we face the possibility of a third world war caused by the ag gression of Red Russia. Second, there is the serious dan ger of a run-away inflation that would wreck our entire economy, and each of us as individuals. And third, if we continue our wild and reckless spending we will have national bankruptcy. For leadership in solving all three of these serious problems, we have had nothing but mean ingless words emanating, from, the theorists with which the President has surrounded him self. Theories that lead only to the welfare state type of so cialism,' that appeal to those seeking something for nothing, to the providing of a living for those who do not produce. There has been definite and practical action proposed. In the case of Russia, our state department has been^ outmaneu- vered and outguessed at every turn. We reduced our armaments as a matter of appeasement. It accom plished nothing. Russia increased the Red army and its demands We catered to the Reds in China and refused to provide the aid voted by congress for the Chinese Nationalists; we sowed the wind and we are now reaping the whirl wind, because of the mistakes, or worse, made by our state depart ment. We now have all of Red China, backed by Red Russia, to fight. President Roosevelt told Win ston Churchill that he could handle Stalin. He did not suc ceed. He only made statements that Stalin accepted as prom ises, and demands that sucb promises be carried out. Presi dent Truman Indicated by his statement of “Good old Joe” that we had nothing to fear from that kindly old man. Stalin outplayed and outguessed him, and our efforts at appease ment have not softened Stalin’s Red heart. In the matter of inflation prices of commodities go up day by day, or rather the purchasing value ol our dollar goes down. Today it is near the forty-cents point. Our policy of supporting wage and pen sion demands is responsible for much of that drop In addition, we have too much money in the hands of the péople. In the past few years, we have not merely added, we have multiplied the amount, and we have not enough commodities. Such a condition creates deprecia tion of our currency. Unless we stop the wild, s e n s e l e s s and unnecessary spending we will land in the bankruptcy court with no way other than repudiation to get us out 6f “hock.\ Both the President and congress can be held accountable for the deficit financing that is heading us to bankruptcy. Unless congress provides the money the Presi dent is powerless to spend, but he can, and does recommenld. II i s recommendations never cover any plan for saving. They are always for spending. He might save a billion or more a year by cutting out some con siderable portion of the bureau crats employed by the over staffed executive departments. That be will not do. Jobs for those bureaucrats mean votes, and any party is always in need of votes. He might recommend a less number of dams for pow er and other purposes. We have been able to get along without them for many years, and could continue to do so until ws can pay them out of income. The people will approve his re quest for an additional 18 billion or more for rearmament, to re place what we disposed of follow ing the close of the last war in one of our appeasement efforts to Rus sia. But that additional 18 billion will now buy many less airplanes, tanks, big guns, ships and other needed supplies than it would have paid for even two years ago. Two years ago, congress authorized an increase in the air force up to 7u squadrons. The President did not believe such an increase necessary or advisable. It might arouse Stalin, and he did not make it. To make such an increase now will cost close to twice what it would have cost two years ago. Congress could do a part of thè job of saving the nation. —o— A sure way to stop the home government spending is to de feat the spenders. —o— The President has not said any thing to congress about forgetting that Columbia river power and ir rigation project until we get caught up on our preparedness program. It Is one of the costly ventures wo have done without for many years, and could continue to do without for more years until a more oppor tune time. It is but one of several such projects we do not need now. ÿ§iiS ■. . í. ■ 3 Î
