GAMBLER'S SENTENCE See Page 4 Y Latest Deadline in the State ti1 CLOUDY, COOLER tom. ri ! ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, JUNE 29, 1950 SIXA VOL. LX, No. 2-S ______________________ *r House Will Set Tax Bill Fate Today Leaders To Ram Measure Through WASHINGTON-()-Adminis- tration leaders decided yesterday, to ram the $1,010,000,000 excise cut bill through the house today, and then let the Senate take it, revise it, or kill it. What happens to the bill in the senate obviously depends upon developments in America's mili- tary involvements against Com- munists. THIS LINE OF action was drawn as some lawmakers spec- ulated that the tax bill may be- come one of the first casualties of the Korean war, if more money for American fighting equipment is required. Senate Democratic Leader p Lucas, of Illinois, said the fate of the bill "depends on devel- opments." He added, "there is no indication now that more money will be needed for the military." But if such a need does arise, one influential Democrat told newsmen, "we will have a tax in- crease in 30 days - not a de- crease." ADMINISTRATION men saw the military situation as building up House support for a $433,000,- 000 boost in taxes on big corpora- tions, which with loophole plug- ging and other tax law revisions, is designed to offset the revenue loss from the excise cuts. If no hitch develops and the bill becomes law, excise taxes will be reduced or repealed - proba- bly September 1 or October 1 - on a long list of articles or ser- vices, including luggage, jewelry, furs, cosmetics and movie tic- kets. k The Senate moved swiftly to underline the President's deter- * 'mation to halt the aspread of Red conquest, voting 76 to 0 for a one-year extension f the draft act. The House passed the measure by a thumping 315-0o4 margin. *' * * THE BILL, which now goes to the White House, authorizes the President to call up thousands of draftees, National Guardsmen or reserves, if necessary to keep the strength of the nation's armed forces above the 2,000,000 mark. Senator Tydings (D - Md.) - pleaded for speedy approval of the $1;222,500,000 global arms aid bill yesterday, saying any other course "invites disaster." The chairman of the Senate Armed Services Comiittee said it is imperative there be no delay in providing increased military as- sistance to anti-Communist na- tions. "Never, never, never, never again," he said, will the United States "have the time we had in World War I and World War II to get ready" in event of another conflict. Tahnadge Has Wide Margin In Election ATLANTA-Y/P)-Georgia's uni- que county unit election system gave Gov. Herman Talmadge, de- fiant champion of "white supre- macy," a big lead for renomina- tion tonight. But former Gov. M. E. Thomp- son, a never-say-die ex-school teacher, pulled ahead in popular votes and jubilantly predicted fi- nal victory in the Democratic pri- mary. Veteran Sen. Walter George pil- ed up an overwhelming lead over Atlanta attorney Alex McLennan, who lambasted George as a pawn of big corporations. Returns from 765 to 1,704 pre- cincts, and 127 of 159 counties, gave Talmadge 245 indicated unit votes - enough to win if he con- tinues to lead in the same coun- ties., Thompson led in 31 counties having 97 unit votes. But Thompson led in popular 'Independent' MSC News Ends Career By AL BLUMROSEN The last issue of an independent Michigan State News is in the hands of East Lansing students this morning. It was written and edited yesterday by q group of high school students working under the direction of News staffers. The MSC paper was suspended four days before it was slated to close up for the summer, because of an editorial attacking the conduct of the American Legion sponsored "Boys' State" convention. * * * * WHEN THE NEWS appears again in September, it will be super- vised by a full time director of publications, W. F. McIlrath. Prof. A. A. Applegate, head of MSC's journalism department and chairman of the board of publications which suspended the News said that The full text of the editorial which led to the suspension of the Michigan State News appears on Page 4. Mcllrath had been hired in May and that plans had been underway' for some time to make the college paper a laboratory for journalisni students. He said there was no connection between the suspension of the paper because of the editorial and the hiring of Mcllrath. Applegate said he did not expect "too much" resentment at the introduction of a faculty supervisor to the News, but talk with several staff members yesterday indicated that they were displeased. HE ADDED that the editorial policy of the paper under its new faculty supervisor would still be entirely in the hands of the students. "All we ask is that they base their editorials on facts," he said. He added that Ron Linton, present editor of the News would continue as editor in the fall. The paper will not be re- stricted to journalism students, he said. Regarding the editorial which resulted in the suspension of the News, Applegate said that student editors "Went off the deep end." * * * * "THEY DID NOT stick to the facts and they used intemperate language," he said. Prof.Applegate denied that the American Legion had pressured MSC officials for action against the paper and said that as far as he knew, the Legion had not contacted him or any other MSC official. But in Port Huron, Gerald Barr, State Commander of the Legion said that a resolution condemning the editorial as "fol- lowing the well-known Communist line of criticizing the Legion,', had been sent to MSC President John Hannah. Barr said the resolution, passed in Sault Ste. Marie, did not call any members of the News Communists, but pointed out that the Party line "always brands the Legion as militarists and fascists." * * * * "THE EDITORIAL said that Commnuism may be good or bad," Barr noted. "The Legion knows that it is bad and has been opposed to it since 1919. Those who do not know it is bad are idiots," he said. Barr said that MSC had suspended the News on their own, but it was "possible that the Legion resolution entered into it." The matter is closed as far as the Legion is concerned, Barr said. "We are satisfied with the swift action of President Hannah." Aged Need Empathy Not Sympathy-- W einberg _________Y MacArthur I Commlurnists * * * * British Navy In Korean Seas, Ready East Berlin Reds To Protest Today LONDON- (P) -Britain placed her Far Eastern Naval Forces at the disposal of the United States yesterday to bolster American air and sea power in support of em- battled Southern Korea. Britain has 22 or 23 vessels within reach of Korea, including an aircraft carrier with 40 fighter planes, and an unspecified num- ber of land-based navy planes. That makes British naval strength in the Korean area approximately equal to American naval strength there. * * * PRIME MINISTER Attlee in- formed a cheering House of Com- mons late yesterday that orders al- ready have gone out to the British naval commander at Singapore to fulfil the government's decision. Winston Churchill, the opposition leader, concurred: "I need scarcely say that the Prime Minister speaks for all parties in the House when he makes this announcement. We shall do our best to give him any support he needs in what seems to be an inescapable duty." The British action came less than 24 hours after the United Nations Security Council asked all UN member states to furnish such aid as possible to help Southern Korea repel the Communist in- vaders from the north. ASKED HOW British Common- wealth countries were chipping in to help, Attlee replied: "We have our responsibilities under the UN. We have taken this action. Com- monwealth countries are equally members of the UN and it is, of course, for them to decide what action they will take." In Berlin East Berlin Com- munists will stage an outdoor mass meeting in the Russian sector today to denounce Presi- dent Truman's actions in the Korean situation. The Communist Peace Partisans Committee announced the rally yesterday. It will be held at 5 p.m. (11 a.m. CDT) in the Lust- garten, the big square at the end of Unter Der Linden where the Communists usually, hold their spectacles. "Truman threatens with war- we must enforce peace" is the an- nounced slogan for the rally, for which the Soviet-controlled Berlin radio demanded a big turnout from all the city. * * * IN PARIS, a French Foreign Office spokesman doubted yester- day that France would be able to give material aid to American combat efforts for South Korea. "The French government realiz- es and welcomes the responsibility of the Security Council vote," he said in comment on the UN invi- tation to contribute to the Amer- ica-led forces. "It must be remembered, how- ever, that the French commit- ments in Indochina will make it difficult to contribute any mater- ial assistance to another war area." es 0to Korea DriveSouti Seoul Falls; Communists SAdvance Toward Suwon . r".v>:Top Americans Say U.S. Ground Forces May Be Employed To Stop Red Onslaugi < <': TOKYO-(P)-General Douglas MacArthur today flew to SC Korea where Communist troops were slashing deeper into the inva republic from Seoul, its captured capital. With North Korean forces driving toward Suwon, 20 mile, the south, the military situation had deteriorated to the point wl some U. S. mobat troops were reliably reported placed on the a Even as the commander of American forces in the Far East Tokyo "to see for myself the war situation," it appeared to top-] American authorities that U.

Douglas MacArthur, shown here holding the arm of South Korean President Syngman Rhee, has left Tokyo for the warfront where Rhee's troops are sorely pressed by Com- munist armies from North Korea. * * * * UN Asks Members' Aid To Stop Korean Fighting The University's third annual institute on "Living in the Later Years" opened at Rackham yes- terday and was featured by talks by Dr. Jack Weinberg of the Uni- versity of Illinois, and Dr. Robert H. Felix of the Federal Security Agency. Dr. Weinberg, who spoke on psy- chiatric techniques in the treat- ment of older people, told the in- stitute that those who treat older people must have empathy and waste no sympathy on the aged. * * * DR. WEINBERG said that the outstanding characteristics that threaten normal emotional health are physical decline, loss of erotic values, loss of supporting figures, social and economic insecurity and the gradual contraction of ego strength. And the chief character- istics of the symptoms of mental ill health are regression to earlier methods of adjustment and the exclusion of overwhelming stimuli, he added. The increased incidence of mental illness should not over- shaduw the problem of normal elderly people who face a loss of social and economic function that is often disproportionate to Florida Crime In for Probe WASHINGTON-(P)-The Sen- ate crime investigating committee announced yesterday that big-time gambling and crime in Miami, Fla., is coming in for a public air- ing soon. The date and site of the hearing have not yet geen decided, Chair- man Kefauver (D-Tenn.) said, but he disclosed that a group of wit- nesses have been ordered by sub- poena to hold themselves in readi- ness to testify. He declined to state the number of prospective witnesses. Kefauver hinted that in view of the current Korean crisis the hear- their actual decline in mental and physical capability, Dr. Fe- lix asserted. Dr. Felix who directs the Na- tional Institute of Mental Health called for the evolution of a prac- tical and effective approach and to develop integrated community pro- grams providing for the special needs of the aged. * * * TODAY'S SESSIONS of the in- stitute will deal with the medical aspects of an aging population and will feature addresses by Dr. Jo- seph W. Mountin and Clark Tib- bitts of the Federal Security Agen- cy. Dr. Mountin will speak on "Community Health Services for Older People" at the morning ses- sion and Tibbitts will speak on "National Aspects of an Aging Population" at the evening meet- ing. Today's evening session will be highlighted by a panel discus- sion on the rewards and penal- ties of growing old and a model activities center for older peo- ple. The panel will be partici- pated in by retired residents of Ann Arbor. And the activities center will be a demonstration of a wide variety of arts, crafts and group activities which should be included in an activi- ties center program. Friday's concluding session will consider problems of education for an aging population. And will wind up with an address by Gov. G. Mennen Williams at a dinner in the Union. LAKE SUCCESS - P) -The United Nations yesterday asked all of its 59 members to help in stop- ping the Korean conflict and sub- sequently the Soviet Union attack- ed the legality of the action taken by the UN in the case. The UN call went out to Mos- cow as well as the other capitals. Even before the official position of the Soviet government became known, no one at Lake Success expected the Russians to heed the appeal. THE DECISION of the UN Se- curity Council, which Russia main- tains is illegal, backed up the American and British air and na- Naftonal Roundup WASHINGTON - (P) - Senate Republican leaders asked yester- day that a "Communist registra- tion" bill be addded to the "must list" of legislation for Congres- sional action before adjourna- ment. Senator Taft (R-Ohio) said this was decided upon at a closed-door session of the Senate Republican Policy Committee. Taft said the GOP will ask Democratic leader Lucas of Illi- nois to bring up the bill by Sena- tors Mundt (R-SD), Ferguson (R- Mich) and Johnston (D-SC) which would require registration of all Communist Party members and officers of "Communist- front" organizations. WASHINGTON-MIP-A quick wind-up of the Senate's protract- ed Communist investigation ap- peared possible today as the Ty- dings sub-committee voted to make a report of its findings to date. The decision to report was made by a 3 to 2 vote with Republican members Hickenlooper and Lodge protesting the move. They were outvoted by Chairman Tydings and Senators Green and McMa- hon. val intervention in behalf of in- vaded South Korea. By a 7 to 1 vote the Security Council Tuesday night asked UN members to give assistance, in- eluding military aid, to embat- tled South Korea. Russia claim- ed the Council's action was illeg- al because Nationalist China took part and Russia and Com- munist China did not. The Security Council's appeal for UN member help in stopping the Korean fighting, constituted the strongest action ever taken here. In Moscow, Pravda, the Com- munist party paper, charged yes- terday that the United States "has undertaken a direct act of aggression" against Northern Ko- rea and Communist China. In a front page editorial, it de- clared President Truman's order sending ships and planes to help Western-recognized Southern Ko- rea and to Formosa was "evidence that the American ruling circles no longer confine themselves to the preparations for aggression, but have gone over to direct acts of aggression." "The American government, with its characteristic uncere- moniousness as regards interna- tional law, is grossly trampling on the United Nations charter, acting as though the United Nations or- ganization did not exist at all," the Pravda editorial said. THEN IT inquired: "Have they not, however, gone too far?" It gave no answer to the ques tion. The U.S. Embassy announced that a note from Washington ask- ing the Soviet Union to use its in- fluence to bring about the with. drawal of the invading Commun- ist forces from South Korea was delivered. No reaction to the note was made public. Pravda's editorial was the first public Russian comment on the new U.S. policy in the Pacific strife. President Truman's state- ment was reported in routine fashion by the Russian press. SHORTLY AFTER MacArthur's plane landed Far East Air Force headquarters in Tokyo announced the Big Boeing Superfortress had bombed Red-captured Seoul's Kim- po Airfield this morning. The B-29 raid was described by headquarters as againstprimary targets with "good results." Kimpo is 16 miles west of Seoul. The Air Force announcement did not say how many B-29s partici- pated. Presumably the giant four engine planes came from Guam,' home base of B-29 runs against Japan in the Pacific war. THIS WAS the military picture as represented in Tokyo as the plane landed safely in Korea with MacArthur, who planned to stay at least two days: The North Koreans had knifed south several miles from Seoul. This thrust was toward Suwon, 20 miles to the south, and its airbase which American planes are using. The heaviest fighting was said to be between Seoul and Suwon. The Communist line ran rough- ly east from there to a point just south of Samchok, a city 40 miles from the 38th parallel which di- vided the republican South from the Communist North. Far to the south, a Commu- nist commando force was driv- ing inland from the east coast near Pohangdong for Taegu, 147 air miles south of Seoul. They ewer reported fighting along the road which links Taegu with Seoul. The South Korean Army was driven from Seoul yesterday after a shattering attack by an unex- pectedly large force of Russian- made tanks. IT WAS LEARNED authorita- tively that the military situation was regarded with such gravity that the U.S. may be forced to commit ground troops if South Korea is to be saved. No ground troops have been sent to South Korea. So far the U. S. Air Force is in action with F-80 jets and F-82 conventional engine fighters and B-26 light bombers. Ships of the U.S. Navy have been assigned to undisclosed mis- sions and reliable sources said a U.S. Signal Corps unit had gone to Korea to set up communica- tions. Arms are being airlifted into South Korea around the clock by the Air Force. A squadron of big C-54 transports has been trans- ferred from the Philippines to step up the supply operation. Greeted by a standup ovation cheers, Mr. Truman said the d cision was taken on the advice "all the best brains. I could =- ter." Then solemnly, he declared "We face a serious situation, hope in the cause of peace." * * * ON CAPITOL HILL, Sena Taft (R-Ohio) told the Senate supports the use of American ar ed forces in Korea, but in blu unequivocal terms he demand the resignation of Secretary State Acheson. "Any Secretary of State wb has been so reversed by his s' periors and whose policies ha precipitated the danger of w had better resign and let som one elseadminister the progra to which lie was, and perha still is, so violently opposec Taft said. FigtRed Fear Threat, Says Tr'urai WASHINGTON-(P)-Preside Truman said today the Unit States must codnteract "the Con munist weapon of fear" and] pledged this country's help to pe ple of other lands in their stru gle to keep free. "We must and we shall gi every possible assistance to peoX who are determined to maints their independence," Mr. Trum said, in an address before the a nual convention of the Americ Newspaper Guild. "THE RECENT unprovoked i vasion of the Republic of Kor by Communist armies is an exar ple of the danger to which unde developed areas are exposed." Earlier, the President told luncheon of reserve officers b hopes the decision to combs the march of Communism wi finally mean "peace in ti world." ' "I HAVE heretofore urged much more determined attitu against Communism in the F East, and the President's new p licy moves in that direction. "It seems to me that the tim has come when we give defini notice to the Communists th a move beyond a declared lin would result in war." Taft said he would vote for 1 use of U.S. troops in Korea such a request were placed befc Congress. * * * SENATOR LUCAS of ,Illino Democratic leader, replied Taft's criticism of the administ tion, saying such speeches p "directly into the hands of Kremlin." Now is the time to close rai and strive for national unity, L cas said. He said Taft was alwa talking about what should ha been done, indicating that he ways had "the remedies and pi a ceas to do everything exac right." Dr. Sander Gets Defensive Force Need Not Mean War, Preuss Says By PAULA STRAWHECKER Although the present action of the U.S. in Korea is not tanta- mount to a declaration of war, the President can use the armed for- ces to protect American security anywhere, Prof. Lawrence Preuss of the political science depart- "The absence of Russia in the Security Council at the time of the vote of agreement does not illegalize or negate the affirma- tion." There is no 'veto by ab- sence,' Prof. Preuss asserted. Russia initiated the practice of abstention and cannot claim this sian recognition of the presence of Nationalist China as the Coun- cil representative of all China, Prof. Preuss explained. He said that although Korea - is not a member of the UN, the present UN and U.S. action is also completely legal under Ar- danger to the peace," Prof. Preuss elaborated. * * * SECURITY COUNCIL decisions are binding on all UN members and the mandate justifies U.S. action although not requiring it, he added. "The U.S. must protect UN to take responsibility would have been far more disasterous. The present situation could mean the end of Russian participation in the UN, but Russia has been approaching this state for some time through its refusal to take part in any of the organizations,
