' , WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS Cold War Flames Into Hot War On Korea Front; U.N. Condemns Invasion by Communist Forces War Scene THE PRESS: A New Note It has been a number of years since the press of this country has raised a united howl on any one subject. A new note was evident, however, shortly after the invasion of South Korea by Communist spon-sored North Korea. The day following the attack every leading newspaper in the United States carried editorials on the subject. It seemed a spontan-eous and combined effort of the editors to focus public attention on the seriousness of the Korean sit-uation and its possible repercus-sions. In general the editors seem to agree that the United States and the United Nations must act on Korea. A few of the opinions: New York Times: War in Korea will, in the immediate future, force upon the United States the neces-sity for a decisive and unequivo-cal policy in respect to Asia. Portland, Ore, Journal: America has no other choice than to move necessary force to save South Korea from the rape of the Com-munists. Denver Post: If this aggression is not stopped, the U.N. has but one choice. It must authorize its mem-ber nations to supply a strong force of men and arms, and must step in to stop the Korean war. If it does not do this, if it fails to C0?f4; A Hot War The cold war, which has caused one crisis after another in recent months, had flamed into a hot war on one front. Soviet sponsored arm-ies of North Korea invaded South Korea, established by the United Nations with the blessing and aid of the United States. First reports of the attack were confused. It was known, however, that the invaders advanced as much as 12 miles into South Korea by using ground forces totaling as many as 40,000 men, plus 90 tanks. An additional 10,000 men were be-lieved ready to reinforce the in-vaders. Some reports indicated the invad-ers had penetrated within 12 miles of Seoul, capital of South Korea, while others said the northerners had been checked almost immedia-tely. There were reports also of amphibious landing on the east coast of South Korea. The main attack was directed along the Uijongbu valley, for cen-turies the path of invaders. Maj. Gen. Choi Byung Kud, chief of staff of the South Korea army, reported. Sihn Sung Mo, acting Premier and defense minister, said he had evidence that of northern tanks cap-tured in the first attack, half of the crews were Russian. Minister Kim Yong Ju was in Tokyo when the at-tack was launched. Meanwhile, the United States be-gan the evacuation of 600 Ameri-cans from the Seoul area. They were leaving Korea by sea with U.S. air protection. The evacuation plan was completed only a week be-fore the sneak attack. According to American military men who have been directing the training of the South Korea army, the defenders have 95,000 men to battle the invaders. They will be handicapped, however, by the lack of an air force and tanks. North Korea is reported to have 100 military planes, including 70 Russian Yaks and 25 Stormoviks. FARM SUPPORTS: Senate Approves After a hot floor debate, the senate completed congressional ac-tion and sent to President Truman a bill to give the Commodity Credit Corporation an additional $2,000,-000,00- 0 to finance its federal programs. The Pres-ident was expected to sign the measure. The debate developed over a pro-vision in the bill which would shut the door on imported foreign farm crops if they threatened to upset the domestic farm-suppo- program. The provision was included in the bill and requires Secretary of respond to this desperate situation, then the U.N. is doomed to go the way of the League of Nations. If the Russians are not made to back down in this instance, we must arm to the teeth. RELIGION: Once in 2,000 Years In a ceremony without precedent in the nearly 2,000 years of Catho-lic history, a mother witnessed the canonization of her child. Maria Goretti, who died at H defending her virtue, was raised to sainthood before half a million Ro-man Catholic faithful. The ceremony was unusual in many respects. Never before had there been an open-ai- r sanctifica-tio- n ceremony in Rome. In a place of special honor near the Pope's throne sat the saint's mother. With her were two sons and two daughters. One of the sons, Angelo, lives in New Vil-lage, N. J. The country youth who stabbed the child to death in 1902 when she would not submit to him, now 68 years old, lives in a monastery, haunted by visions of his victim. He was not at the ceremony, but was reported "in prayer more in-tense than ever." The ceremony was one of the highlights of holy year. Thousands have flocked to Rome in recent months in observance of the Telig-iou- s celebration. STOCK MARKET: War Jitters Evidently suffering a case of war jitters, the New York stock ex-change experienced one of its worst slumps in a number of years short-ly after the opening of the present Korean conflict. Troops from Communist-dominate- d North Korea are re-ported pushing their way south-ward following the sneak at-tack on V. S. backed South Korea, Four thousand troops were reported killed in the initial phase of the shooting. This map shows the 38th paral-lel which separates North Ko-rea from the south. UNITED NATIONS: North Korea Guilty The United Nations, in an emer-- " gency session shortly after the sneak attack by Communist dom-inated North Korea on South Korea, branded the north the aggressor and ordered an immediate cease-fir- e throughout Korea. The Soviet Union was conspicuous by the absence of its delegates from the emergency session. Acting swiftly and bluntly, the U.N. termed the assault an "un-provoked attack" and a "clear threat to international peace and security." The resolution called for imme-diate cease-fir- e and implicated that' the U.N. would move to take strong-er measures if North Korea flouted the council. Meanwhile, reaction in the United States was immediate arid to the point. President Truman cut short a visit to Missouri and returned to Washington. A conference was called between top diplomatic and defense chiefs. The problem they faced was a critical one. The situation demand-ed a clear and strong reaction since too much was at stake in terms of American prestige in the Far East. As a result, a "critical amount" of arms aid was said tn havp hpen Agriculture Brannan to demand an investigation of the tariff commis-sion whenever he believes foreign imports are interfering with domes-tic farm programs'. The additional $2,000,000,000 would increase the C.C.C. total borrowing authority to $6,750,000,000. Most of the money now available to the agency is tied up in price-suppo- rt loans and purchase agreements. The measure barely got through the senate, 36 to 35 after Barkley exercised his constitutional vote to break a 5 tie. Critics of the measure said it would wreck the reciprocal-trad- e program, sometimes called the key-stone of the nation's foreign policy. Retires Trading involved 3,910,000 shares, the largest volume in 10 years. Some $4,000,000,000 was cut from the market value of all stocks list-ed on the exchange. The trading was a clear indica-tion of Wall street thinking. Tin and rubber, the principle Far East commodities, advanced in the spot market. The buyers also flocked to the commodity pits, sending most grains, foodstuffs and raw materials soaring. Bonds followed stock in the plunge, rails taking the sharpest fall in more than 2V4 years in one of the largest volumes traded this year. The last big break in the market was the day after Labor Day, 1946, when approximately $4,700,000,000 was whittled from the listed mar-ke- t value of stocks on the ex change. Reviews Forces I ' - 4t i U i - 'V a v. J i i lit," wv At " v';' started to Korea immediately. It was also reported General Mac-Arth-had been authorized to draw on stocks of equipment available in Japan rather than let Korea wait for shipments to be put together in the United States. Many American observers saw the attack on South Korea as a Soviet test of U.S. reaction toward aggression. They did not believe, however, that the Communists are ready for any military aggression on a broad international scale. It was recalled by many that World War II started with acts of aggression against minor powers and not from declarations of war. With this view in mind, the ques-tion arose whether the North Korea attack is an early test of physical and moral strength of the democrat-ic nations. The present situation calls for firmness, political observers agree. PLANE CRASH: Worst in History The worst commercial airline tragedy in the nation's history took place in Lake Michigan of .St Joseph, Mich., when a Northwest Airlines plane plunged into the lake during a severe thunderstorm with 55 passengers and three crew mem-bers aboard. Two days after the giant craft disappeared, parts of the plane, a section of an airplane log book, and parts of two bodies were dragged from the lake. The plane, filled to capacity, van-ished on a flight from New York to Seattle by way of Minneapolis. St. Joseph is about 110 miles southeast of Milwaukee on the east- ern shore of Lake Michigan. Teachers The nationwide shortage of teach-ers and classrooms is going to get worse unless something "drastic" is done. Willard E. Givens. execu- tive secretary of the National Edu- cation association reports. In his annual report, Givens esti- mated school population in the next decade will increase almost 7 500 000. from 26.635.000 to 34.091 000 He said 750,000 more teachers will be needed. Joe McCarthy, 63, has re-signed as manager of the Boston Red Sox and retired from baseball because of his health. He led the New York . Yankees to seven world cham-pionships before retiring in 1946. He came out of retire-ment to take over the Sox. Above he gets a friendly kiss from the family pet as he ar-rives home, ERICKSON: Goes to Jail ' Frank Erickson, called Ameri-ca's greatest bookmaker and king of a nationwide gambling business, has been sentenced to two years in jail and fined $30,000. Erickson, could have been sen-tenced to one year on each of 59 counts of bookmaking. He was sen-tenced to one year on the bookmak-ing counts and one year for conspir-acy.

Johnson and other high military leaders conferred on Far East policy. LIVING COSTS: Take Big Jump The cost of living is still below a year ago, but led by meat prices, the consumer's price index took an increase of eight-tenth- s of 1 per cent between April 15 and May 15. It was the highest jump of any month in almost two years. Food prices went up 1.9 per cent between April and May, and were responsible for the sudden rise in the cost of living index throughout the nation.
