Chinese Fight To Kee Escape
Route Near 38th Parallel Open1
TOKYO-(1)-The Allied offensive smashed ahead yesterday all 0i
- across the Korean peninsula as Armored columns thrust deeper into
Red North Korea in hot pursuit of the retreating Communists.
AP correspondent Nate Polowetzky reported from U. S. Eighth G
Army Headquarters that some Chinese are fighting suicidal rear-c
guard battles in efforts to keep open a six-mile escape route near W
parallel 38 on the east-central front.

11' Teams Beaten at Evanston
Mac Violated
U.S. Policy,
Colli nsSays
WASHINGTON - W) - Army
chief of staff J. Lawton Collins
testified yesterday t h a t Gen.
Douglas MacArthur went against
Pentagon policy in Korea when
he sent U.S. troops near the Man-
churian border last fall.
Although he did not accuse Mac-
Arthur of disobeying orders, he did
accuse the ousted Far Eastern
commander of failing to heed the
advice of the joint chiefs of staff
that he halt United Nations
forces some five miles south of
the Manchurian Border.
* * *
"I DID NOT state it was a dis-
obedience or an insubordination,
Collins said in clarifying his cri-
ticism of MacArthur.
However, Maj. Gen. Courtney
Whitney in New York stated yes-
terday that Gen. Douglas Mac-
Arthur did not disobey orders
in sending American troops to
the Yalu river in Korea last No-
vember.
This statement by MacArthur's
aide was intended as a reply to
testimony in Washington by Col-
lins.
UND E R questioning, Collins
f went into the MacArthur policies
that the administration and the
joint chiefs of staff have rejected.
"Did not the joint chiefs of
staff advise that it might be
well to stop the United Nations
advance some five miles or so
on a ridge before the Yalu was
reached?" asked Sen. McMahon
(D-Conn.).
"Yes, sir; at one stage of the
game we did suggest that as a
possibility," Collins replied.
"The general rejected that ad-
vice?" McMahon asked.
"Yes, sir, he did," the chief of
staff answered.
Collins testified also that the
joint chiefs told MacArthur in a
directive Sept. 27 that, "As a
matter of policy no non-Korean
ground forces will be used in the
northeast provinces bordering the1
Soviet Union or in the area along
the Manchurian border."
The army head said MacArthur
did use U. S. troops in the Man-
churian border region "contrary
to this matter of policy without1
advising us first."
Earlier in the day Collins testi-
fied that the Pentagon will issue
shortly a new, top secret plan for
carrying on the war in Korea.
However, he wouldn't give the
Senators any details, even in pri-
vate.

4or risk being shot by their own of-
ficers for retreating.
The heaviest fighting appar-
ently was on the Hangye-Inje
Road on the east central front
some 25 air miles inland from
the east coast. United Nations
armored columns already were
four miles inside Red Korea in
that sector.
The Allies were battling to cut
off the retreat of an estimated two
Chinese Army corps, some 60,000
men, while Fifth Air Force planes
and Allied artillery pounded the
escape route incessantly.
* * *
IN ADDITION to smashing
across the parallel in the Inje area,
United Nations tank-infantry
teams crossed the old political
boundary in at least two other
places.
Against s p o t t y resistance,
Allied columns thrust into Red
Korea northwest of Chunchon,
45 air miles northeast of Seoul,
and northeast of Uijongbu,
which is 11 miles north of the
old Korean capital.
Field dispatches said those two
columns withdrew at dusk yester-
day to the advancing main Allied
line.
CORRESPONDENT Polowetzky
reported that-aside from the sui-
cidal rearguard action on the east-
central front- The picture vir-
tually all across the bloodsoaked
peninsula was one of Communist
forces fleeing northward."
Lt. Gen. James A. Van Fleet,
commander of the U. S. Eighth
Army, called the new surge of
Allied might "an all-out offen-
sive," and added. "The 38th par-
allel means nothing to me."
"The Eighth Army will go
wherever the situation dictates in
hot pursuit of the enemy," he add-
ed. "We intend to exploit every
advantage in carrying out our ob-
jective to find and kill the enemy."

yesterday.
A formal statement reporting
the settlement was issued by the

railroads.
The agreement provides for
a wage increase of 33 cents per
hour, or $2.64 a day for yard-

The Illini ran up 55. points

The Wolverines slipped to fourth
behind Indiana, when the Hoos-

Professor
Says
Strong U.S.
Army Will Lift Iron Curtain
Prof. Geza Teleki of the Univer-
sity of Virginia geography depart-
ment asserted that Russia would
withdraw from the countries un-
der iron curtain domination if the
United States would keep a
strong standing army and cement
our ties with our allies.
Lecturing under the auspices of
the University's geography de-
partment, Teleki described his ex-
periences as one of the three Hun-
garian delegates to the 1944 Mos-
cow armistice conference.
"ALL MEETINGS would be held
from midnight to 6 a.m. after a
four hour session of movies to tire
us."
The former Hungarian minis-
ter of education pointed out that
the German cultural influence
was much greater in the Balkan
countries than either the British
or the American.
He also mentioned that most of
the university professors in Hun-
gary are high-ranking Russian of-
ficers without even a speaking
knowledge of the national langu-
age.
Prof. Teleki has hope for the
nations behind the iron curtain,
however. "History teaches us not
of the past, but of the future. The
same things which we judge im-
portant now will not be so im-
portant in ten years."
House Group
Considers Bill
WASHINGTON-(P)-A bill de-
signed to increase taxes by $7,100,-
000,000 a year was tentatively ap-
proved yesterday by the House
Ways and Means Committee.
If finally enacted, it will lay a
considerably heavier load on in-
dividual income taxpayers, cor-
porations, and scores of items sub-
ject to federal excise taxes.
The estimated total revenue in-
crease is far from firm. Staff ex-
perts said it may hit $7,200,000,000.
This compares with the $10,000,-
000,000 asked by President Tru-
man to keep the rearmament drive
on a pay-as-you-go basis.
est competition came from Ohio
State's Len Truex who stuck close
on McEwen's heels right to the
finish. With fifty yards to go,
Truex turned on his kick, trying
to nip McEwen, but the Michigan
star withstood the Buckeye's last
minute effort and raced home to
the new Big Ten record.
IT WAS McEwen's first victory
over Truex in the mile.
In the two mile, one hour
later, McEwen moved out in
front about the mile mark and
breezed over the finish line forty
yards ahead of Spartan Warren
Druetzler, who was third in the
mile. McEwen's time was 9:23.8,
which is considerably slower
than his usual effort. But con-
sidering the condition of the
track and his record-breaking
mile performance earlier, it was
a commendable mark.
Michigan's top entrant in thet
hurdles, Captain Don Hoover,
failed to place in either event.

HOOVER, holder of the Confer-
ence mark in the 220 low hurdles,
drew the inside lane in the 220
lows - a lane that was covered
with three inches of water. He
kept up with the field until the
second hurdle, but from then on
in he was out of the race.
In the 120 highs, Hoover got
off to a poor start and finished
ten yards in back of the field.

Over-all Budget
Still Debatable
By CAL SAMRA
Special to The Daily
LANSING-Approval of a $14,-
845,000 University appropriation
was imminent at 1:30 a.m. today
and indications were that this
figure would be the final and def-
nitive allotment to the University
for next year.
The Senate approved the figure
last night.
Although the Legislature plan
ned to bicker heatedly over the
proposed State budget until early
this morning, University officials
and reporters were confident that
no changes would be made in Uni-
versity appropriations.
Reason for the expected debate
is this: the Senate yesterday ap-
proved a $198,905,943 state budget
in contrast to the House's $200,-
150,759 recommendation.
* * *
UNIVERSITY vice-president
Marvin L. Niehuss indicated last
night that he was certain the
University budget would come out
unscathed and unslashed, desepite
an expected ordeal of morning
conference committees. Robert
Cross, assistant director of the
Bureau of Business Research, con-
curred.
Their optimism was based on:
(1) The Senate Finance Corn-
mittee reported out the State
budget bill with 272 amendments,
but left the University budget
the same as the House had
voted two weeks ago - $14,-
845,000; (2) The Senate sanc-
tioned this figure; and (3) both
House and Senate members
seemed to be more interested in
wrangling over other sections of
the proposed State budget.
Later, Niehuss said that if, as
he believed, $14,845,000 was the
new University budget, the Uni-
versity would do its best to oper-
ate on this figure. "Whether we
can do it," he added, "depends on
our enrollment next fall.
* **
NIEHUSS warned, however, that
in any overtime meeting of the
Legislature "anything might hap-.
.pen.
Even Sen. Elmer Porter, chair-
man of the Senate Finance Com-
mittee didn't dare predict what
the final fate of theUniversity
budget-or, for that matter, the
State budget -. would. be. He
shrugged his shoulders and
walked off.
Two years ago embittered and
impassioned legislatures wrestled
with the appropriations bill until
7 a.m.in the morning before a
compromise was reached. Last
night, both bodies, who were slated
to adjourn their last meetings,
followed the usual procedure, sus-
pended the rules, and stopped the
chamber clock at 11:59 p.m.
THE FINANCE Committee rec-
ommended and the Senate also
approved $3,000,000 for University
construction, $1,500,000 for the
Angell Hall addition, and $1,500,-
000 for the out-patient clinic
building,
The Senate, hbwever, appro-
priated $40,000 more than the
Hous e 's recommendation of
$250,000 for the Neuropsychia-
tric Institute. Some of this
money will be earmarked for the
University.
(After shuttling back and forth
between approximately $1,2000,000
and Niehuss' request for $1,583,-
877, the House last Wednesday had
finally approved and written into
law the latter figure, which will
make up the deficit in this year's
University budget.)
