They overran first aid stations, killing patients and chaplain, and for every one the Americans killed, ten took his place. American forces began a slow withdrawal which appeared would halt some 35 miles southeast of Taejon where a range of hill offered a natural defense position. Whether or not they held this position would depend upon reinforcements and the continued flow of guns, tanks, and ammunition. No matter how optimistic a view an observer was inclined to take, the situation appeared serious. As has often been the case in the past, Americans greatly underrated North Koreas military strength and fighting determination. Facts of the situation indicated: North Korea had 10 to 15 divisions, 100,000 to 250,000 men, with replacements handy from the armies of Communist China when needed. At least 200 tanks, with replacements also available from Russia, and almost unlimited supplies behind the lines in Siberia and in Manchuria. United States would need eight lull divisions, perhaps 250,000 men. The inadequate supply of tanks and heavy artillery in the Pacific would have to be remedied.

HOME FRONT: Controls. Likely Observers on the Ijome front are predicting limited controls to back up an intensified military campaign But military observers pointed out that air power will greatly increase the chances of victory, but the Korean war, as has been the case in all wars, will be won by the soldier who fights through mud and rain and cold and heat. The foot soldier has not been replaced with warfare, as yet. in Korea. At this writing the controls had not been asked for, but observers pointed out that action was becoming more urgent with each day. They predicted President Truman would ask for them within a very short time.

The senator, still screaming charges of communism In the state department, was called a liar by Democratic members of three a senate investigating subcommittee. Reporting their conclusions from h a inquiry, they attacked the Wisconsin Republican in terms of harshness rarely used in the senates history. They accused him of conscious falsehood and of serving the interests of the Communists by raising baseless suspicion among the people of the country. They cleared every person McCarthy accused of being a Communist. The Republican members of the Senators Hicken-loope- r subcommittee, and Lodge, declined to sign the report. The Democrat members termed McCarthys charges "a fraud and a hoax perpetrated on the senate of the United States and the American evitable. Government officials were predicting privately that President Truman would ask congress: 1. Power to allocate by voluntary means, or more drastic measures if neeessarysteel and a few other basic metals. 2.

We find ourselves facing a situation with the implication of a third world war If war is localized now, we know it is only a question of time until the inevitable happens. Only adequate preparedness can safeguard us," Green said. He added: "We cannot send our soldier to the fighting front without training equipment and reguWe must prolar supplies vide quick transportation which will increase mobility There will be no side lines secure from bombThere must be mobilizaing tion of labor." all-o- n people " Their report said, In part: They (McCarthys charges) represent perhaps the most nefarious campaign of half truths and untruth in the history of this republic. For the first time in our history we have seen the totalitarian technique of the big lie employed on a sustained basis. The result has been to confuse and divide the American people, at a time when they should be strong in their unity, to a degree far beyond the hopes of the Communists themselves, whose stock in trade is confusion and division. .... .... .... ...

But if its rockin you want with your sittin, you'll have to bring your own chair, or patronize one of the 50 privately owned and operated resorts on national forest land. What you do in the forest is pretty much up to your individual taste. There are 136.000 miles of trails, forming in places a maze of foot and horse paths. In the west the Pacific Coast Trail system traverses the cascades of the Pacific northwest and the Sierras of California, north and south across the United States from Canada to Mexico. In the east the Appalachian Trail stretches more than 2.000 miles from Mt. Katahdin in Maine to Mt. Oglethorpe in Georgia. Short trails leading to scenic r to halfpoints offer day Jaunts for the tired business man and his family. The more woodsman can experienced plan a backpack trip of several days duration, camping nights shelters usually at three-side- d spaced 10 to 15 miles apart in the East.
