Starts Charming Frock Suitable Drive The Federal Bureau ef Investigation was back in the news with the announcement of two new arrests of spy suspects. They were identified as Abraham Brothman, 37, and Miriam Moscowitz, 34. The couple was arrested after Harry Gold, confessed atomic spy, as. named the man as his sociate in espionage activities for Russia. Miss Moscowitz is a partner in Brothman's engineering firm. In all, seven Americans now have been arrested since Dr. Klaus Fuchs' trial conviction and sentencing to 14 years in prison in England. Meanwhile, the government started a campaign to catch and prosecute spies and saboteurs. J. Edgar Hoover, F. B. I. director, said each citizen can play an important part in stopping Communists who would bore from within. The citizen's job. he said, is to report quickly to the F. B. I. any evidence of subversion or sabotage. And Attorney General McGrath announced that the justice department intends to be ready for any evidence that might be turned up. Effective October 1, he said, four federal grand juries instead of the usual two will be kept on duty in Washington. At least one grand jury will be used exclusively to deal witb charges of subversive activity.

V.r- -' Invitation to Defeat Elder statesman Bernard Baruch spoke his mind and the mind of a great segment of the public) to the senate banking committee when he urged congress to freeze all wages, prices and rents, boost taxes, and ration essential goods in a broad program to mobilize the nation's economic strength. In his clear and determined way. Baruch asked the question that has been in the mind of the average citizen since prices began to rise after the Korean war started: "Shall we do now what we know will have to be done later, and thus hasten the victory of peace? Or shall we fumble nnd falter and invite defeat?" Baruch. who played an important part in economic mobilization in two wars, urged: Priorities and allocations as proposed by the President. Elimination of profiteering. Higher taxes. Effective price, wage and rent controls. Power to ration scarce civilian es sentials where necessary The postponement of all less essential works. A reduction of unnecessary public and private expenditures. Every effort to increase production. Also, the development of substitutes for things in short supply Control of all exports and imports Conservation of whatever is scarce. And organized among hp people "the enlightened to accept the denials which winning the peace entails." Congressional leaders seemed divided on Baruch's plan even if the public was not. Said Sen. Robert A. Taft, he "wholly disagrees" with the elder statesman who, he assertt ed is "for dictatorship". all-ou- The laboratory's scientists work hard to raise bugs and then work harder to destroy them with sprays end C.

W ' d rich San California's Battle Lines Stand or Die For many Americans, who had been inclined to look upon the Korean war with indifference and an attitude of "business as usual" there came a rude awakening dur ing the fifth week of the conflict. Casualties began to arrive from Korea, youngsters without legs and arms, bullet-riddleyoung men who kept their eyes closed as they were transferred from planes to ambu lances, bovs who did not wish to talk or be quoted. To the millions who had no broth crs and fathers and husbands in Ko rea, the scenes brought back fright ening pictures of World War II, memories of days filled with tears and nravers. and sometimes, utter despair. And to the awakening American public came another shock. The commanding general In Korea, Lt Gen. Walton H. Walker, said: "There is no point in not telling the simple truth, which Is that the war has reached its critical stage." The American army had retreat ed as far as it would retreat, Gen eral Walker said. He gave one order to his troops: "Stand or die." Americans were shocked by his flat statement that his army must win or die where they stood without hope of surrender or retreat and a mass evacuation as at Dunkerque. And in Korea the G. I. has a question for the war correspondents: "Are you telling the folks back home the truth that it is a tough and hard fight, and we need more help at once?" That was the situation as 120,000 Communists began a steady attack upon TJ. S. positions. Along the entire front, stretched in an arc from Yongdok on the north to Hadong on the south. Communist troops ham mered at American lines. Four U. S. divisions, none at full strength, with the aid of some South Korean troops, the exact number unknown, slugged it out with the in vaders. American supplies and rein-- ' forcements were rushed to the battle area, but if they would be enough and in time was still the question uppermost in the minds of military leaders. One outstanding truth stood out from aU the rest: American troops were locked in the battle that would decide the Korean war and possibly the peace of the world for the next 10 to 15 years. As Gen. Eisenhower said, "If our forces in Korea are defeated the entire world will be thrown into another great war." It was a rude awakening for the American people, but a' necessary one, most observers agreed. It was now time for the American people to get down to the bloody, unpleasant job of winning a first class war. a'AX fr j, '.tats I I thrv are thoo of ihli ucwpapor. ivJ" v.t ' ''4 y f may baH to a new spray or rt t'ict will rral'.fc form-e?' :rn;-n- cr end mere profifab'".

Percentage rates were based on 'ockholders investment after taxes -- C). ii ;VV5 A desperate all-opush by Korean Communists, aimed at Taegu, center of American defenses In South Korea, is underway. The Red forces hurled nine divisions against the allied line. U. S. forces gave up Hadong (1) and fell bark to Chinju. Hamyang (2) was under heavy attack. In the Yondong (3) and llamchang (4) sectors, the U. S. first cavalry and South Korean troops blunted a powerful Communist assault. ut North ATOMIC BOMB: Won't Be Used Many people have wondered in re cent weeks whether or not the atom ic bomb would be used in Korea President Truman has announced it will not be used in Korea, but it CANDY: Important Food Item Candy has become one of the nation's important food items and America's sweet tooth demands an average of 17 pounds of candy per capita each year. This figure is taken from a book jiist published by Edwin J. Brach, Chicago candy manufacturer, who reports on America's candy-eatinhabits. Using figures from the department of commerce, he shows that candy is an Important food item in the American family budget. On a per capita basis each American eats almost seven pounds more candy than butter annually; almost 10 pounds more candy than cheese; about 11 pounds more candy than margarine; nine pounds more candy than cereals and only 2Mi fewer pounds of candy than coffee. Citing figures from the Bureau of Human Nutrition and Home Economics, the Brach report showed that the average family spends 25.2 cents per week on candy in food stores alone compared to 23.7 cents for canned juices, 21.5 cents for cakes, 19.8 cents for shortenings, 18.7 cents for soups and 16.3 cents for white flour. Almost half of the candy purchased today is sold in food stores. g was recalled that the President has asserted several times that he would not hesitate to use atomic bombs to assure the security of the United States. As the world situation became more tense, it was obvious that offi cials were carefully avoiding any public discussion of the use of atomic weapons, though strategists have indicated that there are no worthwhile targets for such weap ons in North Korea. Another angle of atomic warfare was under consideration by defense officials, however. Ways and means of stopping any ship from entering American harbors that might be carrying an atomic bomb were be ing worked out. Port authorities in San Francisco and New York have announced all RUSSIA: ships from Russia or Russian satel lite nations will be stopped and Returns to U.
