With these words, Warren Aus tin, the American chief delegate to the United Nations, rejected the Russian move to link the question of Red China's entrance in the U. N with the Korean war. It was a bitter exchange of words between Austin and Soviet dele gate Jakob A Malik, who became president of the security council Aug I. Malik wanted the question of admitting Red China to the U. N the first order of business on the agenda, with the Korean situation second The Russians were defeated by a vote of eight to one. No one believed the Russians had any formula for peace that was to acceptable the western powers when they ended their boycott of the security council. It soon became evident the Russians were interested in seating Red China and nothing else. Malik's maneuSome believed vers were only delaying tactics in the belief the North Koreans would shove United Nations quickly troops off Korea and thus open the way for any demands the Soviet Union desired to make. That belief became when the Russians demanded American troops be withdrawn from Korea, under threat of use of the veto, and seat the North Koreans in security council deliberations. On the other hand, it was Just wide-sprea- d as evident that the United Slates would not agree to such a situa tion. The only outcome could be a deadlock, with the Russians resorting to the vote to kill anv action the majority might sanction. TRANSPORTATION: Truck Fleets Increase A for hire fleet of 1,000,000 trucks 000,000 which roll part of the America's highways is available for transport of military supplies in case of a grave national emergency, the American Trucking association has estimated. The figure was the chief finding of an industry-wid- e survey conducted by the transportation organization as the first step in preparmobilizaing for a possible tion. The for hire vehicles would be the first to be mobilized and would, the association said, carry the brunt e of the military load. But an additional 4,500,000 priall-o- ton-mil- vately operated trucks, 2,200,000 farm trucks and 335.000 trucks under public ownership, could ultimately be made available. Taken as a whole, the association's survey revealed the trucking industry could provide 171,369,000 inter-citof transport facilities during the next 12 months. In 1941 the year before Pearl Harbor the industry clocked up ton-mil- y ton miles. That difference 114,246,000 per year represents the increased load of guns, food, ammunition or other military supplies which American civilian trucking firms are able and ready to handle without relying on any other form of transportation and with the full advantage of shipment without rehandling. ton-mil- point-to-poi- EUROPE: Steps Up Defense The democratic nations of Europe with Communist aggression in Asia uppermost in mind formed plans for increased defense measures against invasion by Russia. The United States and its North Atlantic allies mapped a three-yea- r $20 billion campaign of defense. Britain offered to adopt a three-yea- r billion defense budget, a $9 heavy load for the already hard pressed British government, if the U.S. foots part of the bill. Other members of the group agreed to recommend that all member governments take immediate steps to increase effective military forces for common defense. France meanwhile asked that more American and British troops be sent to Europe and pledged to start a $5.7 billion three-yea- r re- armament program. The new program would be in addition to the 1950 military budget of $1.2 billion. Work Continues The United States has stepped up its work toward production of the hydrogen bomb. The government has assigned a major seg ment of the job to the du Pont company, already experts in making the plutonium which goes into the present atomic weapons. The A. E. C. appointed the du Pont company to design, construct, and operate some new plants of advanced design Big Question In the minds of many Interna tlonal observers. Formosa had become the big question in the battle against communism. And it presented the first split in policy among the western powers. With the Presidents order to the U. S seventh fleet to defend the island from Communist invasion, the split in policy first appeared. The split, or Russian trap as some are inclined to believe, became serious with the visit of General MacArthur to the island and the arrival of Jet planes Immediately after he returned to Japan. Many observers point out that U. S, policy is now clear: defend ILPhiUips B) Indignation felt who had heard Jacob Malik's scathing attack on the United States in the U.

This eioseup shows Austin fiercely rebuking the Russian delegate. pent-u- p the U. S. out on a limb and could Involve the nation in a full fledged Asiatic war. That, students of the present world situation say, is exactly what the Soviet Union desires. If such a thing should happen Russia would, of course, materially aid the Chinese. It has been pointed out that the American decision to defend For- mosa is a direct act of aggression against Red China. It is a perfect excuse for the Reds to msh several divisions to the aid of the KOREA: Koreans. A Limited Offensive such a move is already underway. Within hours after MacArthur The Korean military picture appeared a little brighter for United Nations forces. A powerful American attack, the largest launched by the U.S. since the Korean war gan, rolled slowly forward on the southern front. The North Korean troops, evidently completely aware that an attack was coming, took advantage of every spot of cover and battled U.S. marines for every foot of be- ground. In the central sector the Communists established one bridge- head across the Naktong river behind which United Nations forces had established new defense positions. Military authorities reported immediate danger points were in In the south and center sectors. the center the Reds had three divisions and four of their finest in the south. While, U.N. forces attacked in the south, U.S. pounded military targets in North Korea, dropping as many as 540 tons of bombs in one day. One mass flight dropped 460 tons on railroad yards at Pyongyang, North Korea capital, with "excellent results. Air groups from two 27,000-toU.S. carriers bombed scattered targets over southwestern Korea and gave close support to attacking troops in the southern sector. Military authorities warned that the southern action was a "limited offensive" and not a general offensive." It evidently was designed to block the Communist strategy n of: (1) Drive down the southern coastal plain, capture Pusan, seal off the U N. port of entry and the (2) smash only escape hatch; through to Taegu in the Naktong valley, encircle the defenders and cut them up. Whether or not the Communists can execute this strategy hinges on the question: Have we the men and the materials to stop them? Until recently the outlook was grim. BRIDGES: Jailed at Last Harry Bridges, turbulent longshore labor leader, had gone to jail at last. Federal Judge George B. Harris revoked the $25,000 bail under which Bridges had been at liberty since his conviction last April on charges of perjury and conspiracy-iconnection with his 1945 naturalization, and ordered him jailed. In delivering his opinion, Judge Harris assailed the C. I. O labor leader as "an agent dedicated to the execution of the Communist program nationally and internationally, and a menace to United States security. This is not the time for divided loyalty, Judge Harris said. This is not the time for Communist double talk. The move to revoke Bridges bail was started by F. Joseph Donohue, special assistant to the U. S. attorney general. Donohue argued that remarks by the labor leader at union meetings, to the effect that he opposed resolutions supporting American intervention tn the Korean war, were against the best interest of the country. Plane Crash Nineteen persons were killed and 60 injured when a bomb laden B 29 crashed, burned and exploded near the Fairfield-Suisuair base in California. The plane crashed near a trailer camp where 200 service families slept. The flaming explosion of the 10 or 12 demolition bombs the plane carried shattered more than half of 50 automobiles and trailers parked in the area n Some observers believe returned to Japan, American jets landed on Formosa vanguard of air units assigned to defend the island. comment heard frequently after they landed was: MacArthur certainly works fast. That may be, observers pointed out, but it could also mean that MacArthur has fallen into the Russian trap. It was a serious situation that the United States now had to face. A ECONOMY: Control Bill Likely The senate banking committee apmobilization proved a home-frobill which would give full discretion nt to invoke trols to President Truman. con- Last month President Truman asked for limited economic controls. The bill approved by the committee, however, goes much further than Mr. Truman asked. Those curbs included authority to: 1. Allocate scarce industrial materials. 2. Assign priorities to put defense production work at the head of any factory job sheet. 3. Let the government take over privately owned plants, if necessary. 4. Curb consumer credit and e construction credit. 5. Grant $2,000,000,000 in government loans and loan guarantees to spur defense production. The measure gives the President the right to invoke general price control and rationing anytime he decided such a step was warranted. He could invoke general wage controls at the same time. The only apparent restriction is a provision saying the President would be compelled to put wage curbs in effect if price ceilings previously had been established "on materials, services, and property comprising a substantial part of all sales at retail and materially affecting the cost of living.

C., grocer recently stacked sugar outside his store and put up a sign reading, "Special, Five Pounds Sugar, 98c" Lines formed, he said, and he sold about 800 pounds in four hours. Grocers across the street continued selling sugar ot five pounds for 59c and had no rush. 'I jusf wanted to see the reaction," the grocer said. "I wanted to prove that the price doesn't mean a thing. If they want it they buy it." I'm going down to buy a few things that may be hard to get. Mabel said in the dream. "I'm doing the very same thing, Hattie the Hoarder said. "The smart thing to do is to get whatever is apt to get scarce. If you dont get things now they'll be hard to get later. "They always tell you there are no shortages, but we both know better." said Mabel. "I got me a lot of nylons yesterday. I want to see about some aluminum kitchen things today." "Joe says we could get a new car, said Hattie. "The old one isn't bad but if the war lasts it will be hard to get a new one for years. "Fred was saying the same thing." Mabel put in, "He may put a tank in the yard and store some gasoline. I think I will see about a new electric washing ma- chine. They'll be hard to get. Are you putting away any sugar?
