KOREA: Evacuation Inevitable Bitter battles raged in Korea as United Nations forces continued their retreat toward Pusan and what seemed inevitable evacuation of that war-torcountry. And while the battles raged in Korea, bitter debate continued in Washington as to whether or not UN. forces should evacuate the peninsula. There were rumors in military circles, too, that the U.S. had decided on a stand in Korea. To the average man in the United States, to the people in the home towns of America, who are anything but defeatists, the Washington debates seemed ironic. The average American was counting the odds, estimated now at five to one, and which the Chinese can increase at will. In recent weeks there has been considerable confusion and a number of contradictions as to the actual number of Chinese troops thrown against U.N. forces. To many the question now seemed to be whether or not U.N. troops could successfully withdraw to the Pusan beachhead and carry out an evacuation. The situation was described like this: Now its a question of saving face oi saving our hides and we'd better save our hides. We'll need them in the future against the Communists. The United States army in Korea is the only one this nation has at present and it must form the core of the new army we have dedicated ourselves to building in an effort to preserve our democratic way of life. Attempting to hold in Korea would risk this army too great a risk in the opinion of many observers. Whatever the decision, one thing the average American will tell the world: the North Korean and Chinese soldier is no match for a well trained American soldier. And any victory in Korea will cost the North Koreans and Chinese dearly. n AMERICAS AGRICULTURE rarrn Efficiency and Assets at Peck lj The department of agriculture American agriculture's nal assets at the beginning of 't $134 billion, two and one-ha- lf to1951 pre-lente- n U.S. savings bonds, and investments in cooperatives.

Football was played on Pancake Day in many parts of Scotland. The married men played the bachelors, and the married women tackled the spinsters. Modern football, as compared to these old traditional football games, is strictly for sissies. The goal lines for this football game were often three miles apart a distance which usually held the score down to a The couple of goals per game. game has been supplanted by other Pancake Day sports in England, and most of the English women now have traded the gridiron for the griddle.

Both "Holly" and "Ivy were hidden early on Pancake Day, and the goal of each group was to find of k. Mrs. Anna M. Rosenberg, assistant defense secretary in charge of manpower, told a senate armed services subcommittee that President Truman had increased the goal for the armed services from 3.200,000 to 3,482,205 men by June 30. She said the increase would require the drafting of 18 year olds. Those that come after the May sing high-ho- !

A news item from Argentina last year reported that the Pancake Day celebration resulted in 23 dead and 3,844 injured. Public Holiday Elsewhere in the world. Pancake Day is a public holiday in Africa, many other countries of South America, French Guiana, Miquelon, and the South Seas. Pancake Day celebrations in the United States and Canada are typified by paneake breakfasts, luncheons, and supper conducted by civic, social, and church groups. Highlight of all 1950 Pancake Day celebrations was the first running of the International Pancake Day Race. Miss Florence Callow, of Olney, was the winner. She defeated the American winner, Mrs. Dale Warden, by some seven seconds, course. over the Housewives of Liberal made plans for the second annual race long in advance of the event, determined to bring the engraved silver griddle, symbol of international championship, back to the United States.

After the freeze period, each private new commercial building project must be submitted to the national production authority for approval.

It could eventually become a national holiday. Pancake Day is a traditional pre Lenten celebration in many parts of the world today. The international race this year will receive a great deal of notice in English newspapers since the British government feels that in times like these, the racis an outstanding example of international goodwill and amity.

And in every case the issue was settled in favor of the President, namely, that it is his sworn duty to carry out the obligations of the United States. In this particular case, when the senate ratified the North Atlantic treaty it made the obligations of that treaty law, binding on the President of the United States no matter who he might be. Certain articles of the treaty bind the North Atlantic nations to united effort to maintain the security of the North Atlantic area, including the use of armed force if necessary. It is these articles of the treaty that the President is upholding in sending troops to Europe. If the congress should deny the President j the Pancake Day, which has gained in popularity in the United States in right to use troops or arms abroad, then certain articles of the recent years, will be celebrated February 6.
