Forces Control Powers House Votes to Give President Dread of the On the fifth anniversary liberation of Korea from Japan, Communist and United Nations of troops were involved in a series maneuvers and probing thrusts that indicated a showdown battle was near. In the north the Communists made their most important gains with the capture of Pohang and forcing U.S. troops to evacuate an important airfield. American and South Korean forces were in action against a Red unit west of that city. In the west, the Communists had crossed the Naktong river at two points, north and south of Taegu. At one point 12,000 Red troops had crossed the river and counter atto tacking Americans attempted sucthrow them back with some cess. The Communists were reported to have 60,000 men massed in that drive to push area for the all-out United Nations forces from Korea. In the south, U.S. marines consolidated their positions just four miles outside Chinju and continued to mop up isolated Red groups cut off by the American drive.

The newest blast was directed against American football. Radio Moscow said recently: Football players at the University of Michigan are often carried from the football field to the hospital or even straight to the cemetery. Moscow pictured American athletes driven to slaughter by greedy promoters. In fact, Moscow cried that it all was inspired by Wall Street to get the American public conditioned for war. In retaliation, the Voice of Ameri ca offered to buy a season pass for any accredited Russian correspondent who wants to see the University of Michigan football team play. Said the U. S.: The voice will gladly offer a seasons pass to all games of the University of Michigan to an accredited U.S.S.R. correspondent to see for himself. We can assure him that hell have no expenses for flowers or wreaths.

The senate also had a similar bill under consideration. Some kind of control bill had been expected for some time, but there were several surprising aspects to the one the house voted. In the first place, the vote of 383 to 12 was startling. But even more startling-wathe fact the house, which usually jealously guards its authority and power, left it entirely up to the President when to invoke the and other control powers contained in the bill. Mr. Truman insisted he was not ready for severe restrictions upon civilian economy. And although the bill gives him that power, it is not believed that such broad scale mobilization is in sight. However, the administration is reported anxious to use some of the industrial controls, particularly the power to allocate scarce materials to war inprice-wage-rationi- POLITICS: A-bo- fa, 1945.
