Labor Korean Stand Backed In Commons LONDON-The Labor Govern- ment won overwhelming spport from the House of Commons last night on its decision to help the United States throw back the Communist invasion of South Korea. The sentiment of the house was so solidly behind the government that it did not even bother to vote on a government motion ask- ing for backing of its decision. * * * BRITAIN has made her naval forces in Japanese waters avail- able to the United States in the effort to help South Korea repel the Communist troops from Rus- sian-recognized North Korea. The government motion was meant to show the rest of the world that, despite minor rum- blings, members of all parties in Commons were behind the move. These include the major opposition, Winston Churchill's Conservatives. The House was thrown into an uproar briefly when a number of pamphlets headed "hands off Kor- ea" were showered upon the legis-' lators from the public gallery. The British Press Association said the pamphlets bore the im- print of the British Communist party.

U.S. Bishop Orde red out Of Romania LONDON-(P)-Romania an- nounced yesterday that she has ordered American bishop Gerald P. O'Hara, 56, last Vatican diplo- mat in an Iron Curtain country, and his twochief aides to leave in three days. The Soviet satellite cha:ged that the nunciature, thewVatican's aip- lomatic mission, was a center cf "Anglo-American e s p i o n a g e" against Romania, Hungary and Czechoslovakia. THE ACTION was no surprise to the Vatican. A Romanian source at Vatican City said a week ago that Romanian authorities had been trying to get rid of the bi- shop - a native of Scranton, Pa for months and that the outbreak in Korea "probably persuaded the regime to make an end of his case." The Romanian news agency, Agerpress said in the broadcast the Romanian foreign office told Bishop O'Hara yesterday he must quite the country by tomorrow. The Romanian foregin office based its spying charges on the treason trial of seven persons who were sentenced only Tuesday night.'

Holid, c Fatality Toll Highest in U.S. History War Conpared As 'School Picnic' By The Associated Press The long, slam-bang Fourth ofk July celebration was the bloodiestr holiday period in the nation's peacetime history. It brought sudden and violent death to at least 793 persons-on? the highways, in homes, or at beaches, swimming pools, picnic grounds and other recreational spots. * * * THE PRESIDENT of the Na- tional Safety Council, Ned H. Dearborn, said it makes America's part in the Korean War during the same period "look like a Sundaj school picnic."- The previous high holiday ac- L cident fatality record of 761 was- set during the three-day Christ- mas week end in 1936.

Years ago fireworks took a terrific toll every Fourth of July until public opinion demanded that it stop. Now traffic is tak- ing an even more hideous toll but so far public opinion seems to say 'nothing can be done about it'." He added that such deaths will come down in a hurry only when the average American decides he is "going to stop his part in this slaughter." * * * THE COUNCIL had forecast a highway death toll of only 385. The fatalities ran far ahead of expectations and of comparisons with other periods. On an ordin- ary non-holiday week end in early June, an AP survey showed 455 violent deaths, including 270 traf- fic. During the independence cele- bration last year - a three day period-410 violent deaths were re- ported.

They later immobilized their guns and with- drew when Northern armor over- ran the positions. The fighting preceding the break-through began at 8 a.m. yesterday and the GI infantry- men began running low on am- munition at 3 p.m. at that time survivors were ordered to evacu- ate. Some Americans had to evacuate through a town in which three parked Communist tanks kept them under fire. Others pulled back through a. less hazardous route. Meanwhile at advance Ameri- can headquarters in South Korea it. was officially announced that the situation was "a little better this morning than it was last night (south of Suwon) because American reinforcements are be- ing pushed forward. The move- ment continued all night long." on "The Quest for Social Security." ALTMEYER IS more experienc- ed with the Social Security pro- gram in the United States than any other individual, according to Prof. William Haber of the eco- nomics department, director of the summer lecture series. Research for the President's Committee on Economic Secur- ity in 1934 was conducted by Altmeyer. T h i s Committee's work led to enactment of the Social Security Act in '35. The visiting lecturer has been commissioner of the program ever since that time. Altmeyer has also served as United States Representative on THE SAME spokesman said South Korean troops had offered only slight resistance to the in- vaders south of Suwon but had done better on the front near Wongju. Lambert reported that the South Koreans broke and rushed down from the hills, head- ing south away from the front, during the break-through fight. Lambert said they broke be- fore an attack by an estimated 40,000 invaders who drove south despite rain and the fire of American artillery. The formalhannouncement of the fall of Inchon, Seoul port, fin- ally was made at advance Ameri- can headquarters. Naval facili- ties were withdrawn first. * * * COMMANDING General Wil- liam F. Dean made a tour of the battle sector this morning. Advance headquarters specu- lated that North Koreans might bring 40 to 50 more tanks into the fighting zone but might ex- perience difficulty supplying them with gas and ammunition. Northern supply lines, while they would not seem troublesome- ly long yet, may prove extended because of the rough terrain and high rivers due to recent rains. * * * GENERAL MacAthur's com- munique announced that the Nor- therners also were attacking on the East end of the front in a - - -- CIARDI HITS STUFFINESS: Tavern, Not Class, Place for Poetry A local tavern in mid-afternoon 1 is the only proper setting for the teaching of poetry, poet-Prof. John Ciardi of Harvard Univer- sity English department, declared I in a Daily interview yesterday.
