Red Patrols Slip Across Naktong
On 40-Mile Front After Battalion
Is Wiped Out by South Koreans
Enemy Feeling Out
U.S. Lines for Blow
Expected Hourly
By the Associated Press
TOKYO, Sunday, Aug. 6.—Small
North Korean patrols knifed across
the Naktong River today along a
40-mile front after a battalion
attempting a crossing in strength
was wiped out yesterday on the
north.
Aside from the aggressive pa
trolling on both sides of the
nervous. 140-mile front, there was
no activity. The Reds were be
lieved to be feeling out Allied posi- j
tions for a big blow, expected j
hourly.
An 8th Army communique said
the Reds were buildihg up strength j
on the northwest part of the front j
opposite the hinge position be
tween the South Korean army de
fending the northern line and the
United States troops holding the
longer western line along the Nak
tong.
No Tanks Cross River.
So far as is known, the North
Koreans have been unable to get
tanks or infantry in any strength
across the wide river barrier.
But the two major blows are
expected to fall farther south on
reinforced United States positions
in the shrinking beachhead of
southeast Korea. The beachhead
now is 50 miles wide by about 100
miles long.
Nevertheless, the 8th Army said
the enemy was throwing elements
across the Naktong at the hinge
position, which is about 35 or 40
miles northwest of Taegu. The
latter is the frontline supply city
55 miles northwest of the beach
head port of Pusan.
it was in me mas to me uui m
of Taegu that the enemy battalion,
possibly 500 to 1,000 men, walked
into a South Korean trap, the:
communique said.
The South Koreans, well dug
into hill positions, let the bat
talion through, then closed in and
“annihilated it” in the words of
the communique.
Gen. MacArthur’s headquarters
summary said the southerners had
killed 1,000 of the enemy in the
past 24 hours. This presumably
was on all parts of the South
Korean front.
Patrol Activity Marks Front.
Major patrol activity marked!
the front where the Americans
hold the river line from a point
north of Taegu southward near'v
100 miles to the south coast of
Korea.
A field dispatch said enemy and
American patrols were active
along the river southwest of
Taegu. One of the major enemy
attacks is expected here.
The United States 24th Divi
sion on this sector still has no
report of the large North Korean
forces reaching the river’s west
bank, the 8th Army reported.
Associated Press Corresepond
ent O. H. P. King with the 24th
said two enemy platoons of from
50 to 60 men crossed the river in
boats and rafts near Chirhyon,
35 miles southwest of Taegu. They
vanished into the hills before they
could be brought under aerial
attack.
Three other enemy patrols were
seen crossing the river on this
part of the front. The 8th Army
communique said one company of
Communists had “penetrated” the
area but was being repulsed. This
presumabl referred to an enemy
river crossing.
Attack in South Expected.
The other big enemy attack is
expected along the south coast,
where the 25th Infantry Division
holds positions about 35 miles
west of Pusan. Pour enemy divi
sions are massing there.
The Army communique said one
American company attacked a
town, found it unoccupied, and
in returning found it was cut off.
It was fighting its way out and a
relieving unit was also moving up
to help in extricating it.

Marine Air Reserve Unit Called,
First From Washington Area
Ground Control Intercept Squadron
At Anacostia Alerted for August 21
The Organized Marine Air Re
serve Ground Control Intercept
| Squadron 24 at Anacostia has been
ordered to mobilize August 21 for
assignment to active duty, officials
announced yesterday.
This is the first air reserve
outfit in the Washington area to
be called up.
The unit has been authorized to
accept volunteers in excess of its
present strength, both inactive
volunteer Marine Corps reservists
and non-veteran males over 17
years of age, but not over 32.
Numbers involved are classified in
formation which cannot be made
public, officials said. Those in

Air Station, Anacostia.
The commanding officer of
squadron is Maj. Henry W. Bran

He is a trust officer with the Na
tional Saving and Trust Co.
The organization finished 15
days of training at Cherry Point,

September induction of 50,000
men, first since January, 1949,
will spread over the entire month,
depending on how fast the train

Further Withdrawals
In Korea May Force
Quicker Mobilization
Defense Chiefs Still Say
Beachhead Will Be Held
Around Port of Pusan
By John A. Giles
Continued withdrawals in Korea
in the face of heavy, new Com
munist pressure may compel quick
er mobilization of armed forces’
reserves and other steps to in
crease military manpower and
the flow of weapons.
High defense officials still main
tained, emphatically, that a beach
head would be held around the
port of Pusan but it was no secret
that they wrere concerned about
new Red arms and reinforcements
in the battle area.
They have been talking recently
of the probability that it would
be late fall or early winter before
additional National Guard divi
sions could be brought into Fed
eral service under current plans—
largely because training facilities
limited the immediate call to the
presently - summoned four divi
sions. But that was before it
began to appear that there might
be desperate fighting in the moun
tain passes closer to Pusan.
UMT Plan to Be Pressed.
There were these other develop
ments:
1. It was learned that the De
i fense Department will press for
immediate passage of a universal
military training act with imple
mentation deferred until after the
| Korean war is settled. The draft,
reserve calls and volunteer re
cruiting will be depended upon to
| boost the ranks of the armed
! forces now to the new high levels
I authorized because of the Korean
| war. The administration is said
to feel that UMT is the long
range answer to Russian world
! wide threats on the grounds that
■ the Soviet only respects armed
strength.
2. A call for company grade of
ficers—lieutenants and captains—
is expected by the Army if the
present flow of applications for
reserve duty does not increase
Draft Exemptions May Be Revised.
3. There is some consideration
being given of a possible revision
of draft law exemptions, particu
larly those applying to veterans
of World War II. Many of the
specialists, sorely needed now, did
not join the reserve components

{J. N. Can't Be Halted
In Korea by Any Red
Veto, Delegates Say
But New Communist Drive
Elsewhere Could Hamper
Security Council Action
By th# Associated Press
LAKE SUCCESS, Aug. 5—De
legates in the United Nations say
a Soviet veto cannot stop the U. N.
war effort against invading Com
munist North Koreans now, but
could frustrate the Security Coun
cil if the Communists start trou
ble anywhere else.
If a new Communist outbreak
occurs and the Russians block the
council by a veto, the West will
go promptly to the General As
sembly for collective action.
Meanwhile, U. N. sources here
said a letter had been received
from the Russian delegation ask
ing the U. N. secretariat to speed
up Russian translations of all im
portant documents being issued
in connection with the agenda of
the fall meeting of the General
Assembly, to convene here Sep
tember 19. This was taken as an
indication the Russians definitely
plan to be on hand for the As
sembly.
U. N. diplomats have waited
vainly this week for Soviet Deputy
Foreign Minister Jakob A. Malik
to show just why he returned to
the Security Council last Tuesday
after a half-year boycott. He did
introduce yesterday a 2-point
peace program for Korea, but the
view of some diplomats is that he
came back really to isolate the
United States from its allies in
the U. N. However, they still are
waiting to be sure of the reason
for interrupting the boycott.
U. S. Position Outlined.
An American spokesman gave
this sizeup today:
This country will continue to
oppose Mr. Malik’s attempt to in
vite the Communist North Koreans
to the Council table. Most mem
bers take the attitude that you
cannot discuss a settlement with a
firebug and that inviting the
North Koreans here to talk about
a peaceful settlement would be
like asking to tea a man who had
burned down your front porch.
The issue beyond all doubt is
the refusal of the North Koreans
to obey the cease-fire and with
drawal order laid down by the
Security Council June 25, the day
the war started. Mr. Malik is try
ing to close his eyes and sleep

Gen. Clark Tells of Plan to Cut
Combat Training to 9 Months
By the Associated Press
NEW YORK, Aug. 5. — Gen.
Mark W. Clark, chief of the Army
field forces, said today the Army
is about to start “new, unconven
tional methods of training” which
will shorten to nine months the
time needed to prepare a new
division for combat.
Previously it has taken about
15 months to train a new division,
according to Army officers at the
third annual convention of the
National Counter - Intelligence
Corps Association which Gen.
Clark addressed.
Under the new system, National
Guard divisions can complete nec
essary training within five or six
months, Gen. Clark said.
“We are cutting out a lot of
training previously given,” the
World War II commander of
Allied forces in Italy explained.
“We ate about to put into effect
new, unconventional methods of
training. We've got to develop in
a short time these new methods
for training troops because we
do not have the time we for
merly used.”
Gen. Clark said draftees will
be trained “so that they will
know the part they are playing.”
“We’ll make them ruthless,
rugged soldiers, and teach them
to kill these people who are try
ing to kill them,” he added.
Gen. Clark said he expects to
confer next week with National
Guard commanders and their
staffs preparatory to having
National Guard divisions ready
for combat within six months.
He added he was “busy as a
bird dog” trying to supply re
placement troops for Gen. Mac
Arthur in Korea.
The general said a pressing
need exists to have a fighting
army in trim for any eventuality.
“When real trouble comes,
we’ll get no advance warning to
give us time to train a large
army, as in the past,” he said. |
Bridges Jailed
As Threat to
U. S. Security
Judge Revokes Bond
Of Union Chief, Bars
Delay for Week End
By the Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 5.—A
Federal judge ordered Harry
Bridges to jail today as “danger
ous to the security of this
country.”
The judge. George B. Harris,
then denied motions of Bridges’
attorneys for a stay, to permit
him his freedom over the week
end.
A United States marshal’s dep
uty took the president of the big
CIO Longshore Union to jail.
Judge Harris revoked the $25,
000 bond under which Bridges
has been free since last April
when he was sentenced to five
years in prison for perjury. A
Federal jury decided he swore
falsely in his 1945 citizenship
hearing by denying he was a
Communist.
Since then an order has been
signed stripping the Australian
born Bridges of United States
citizenship.
Had Expected Decision.
The Government charged that
his activities in opposing Amer
ican intervention in Korea have
been “inimical to the security of
the United States.”
Bridges’ attorneys asked Judge
Harris that the longshore chief
be permitted to spend this week
end with his wife and family and
then go into the United States
Circuit Court of Appeals Monday.
Judge Harris said. “No,” and
spoke about wives and children
of soldiers fighting in Korea.
“It was not unexpected,”
Bridges said later as a deputy mar
shal was waiting to take him to
the county jail. “I believe right
now anyone who speaks his per
sonal opinion on this subject
(Korea) is in danger.”
Bridges’ wife, Nancy, and their
two small daughters were with
him until he was led off.
Bridges told her “no tears,
now.” She didn’t weep.
Wife Says She Is Proud.
Mrs. Bridges told reporters “I’m
proud of him. I’m so glad he
didn’t crawl. His convictions and
beliefs mean so much that he’d
take prison rather than relinquish
them.”
A crowd assembled at the rear
of the federal building to catch
a look at Bridges as deputies led
him to a car for the trip to the
county jail. There were shouts
of “we’re with you, we’ll get you
out, Harry.”
An unidentified man ran up to
the car and shouted to Bridges:
“You deserved this. You are a
traitor.”
Bridges flushed and started to
ward the man. But was restrained
by two marshal’s deputies. He
got into the car and it rolled away.
At the jail, he was given the
customary booking federal pris
oners receive. He was listed as
a United States citizen, although
his citizenship has been revoked
by Judge Harris.
He was taken to the processing
room, where he was given a
shower and exchanged his natty

Inchon Is Bombarded
By 4 British Warships
By the Associated Press
TOKYO, Sunday, Aug. 5.—Four
British warships—two cruisers and
two destroyers—bombarded In
chon on Korea’s west coast for two
hours with “excellent” results yes
terday.
This was reported in today’s
Far East naval summary. It said
the “all-British” effort was di
rected by British aerial spotters.
Inchon is the port for Seoul,
capital of South Korea captured
by the Reds early in the war.
This was the largest British
naval action so far reported in the
Korean campaign. The British
have been maintaining a patrol
along the Western Korean coast.
The United States Air Force had
reported sinking a 10,000-ton
freighter at Inchon Friday and
this directed attention to the port.
British guns raked barracks, oil
installations, factories, warehouses,
gun emplacements, a railway sta
tion and an electric light plant.
American carrier-based Marine
planes provided fighter cover for
the attack. The assault was de
signed to reduce Inchon’s impor
tance as a staging base for Com
munist troop reinforcements. ,

COLONIAL BEACH, Va„ Aug.
5.—State police took steps tonight
to prevent a recurrence of fighting
that broke out here today when
a group of Negroes swam at a

Several persons were injured,
none seriously, as fists, knives, tire

their race, a point that has been
denied by town officials.
Five town policemen had estab

French Cabinet Backs
Note to U. S. Pledging
Arms Spending Boost
'51 Funds May Be Double
1950 Outlay; Denmark
Plans 57 Million Budget
By th« Associated Pres*
PARIS, Aug. 5.—The French
Cabinet tonight approved a note
to the United States which au
thoritative sources said commits
France to possibly double her de
fense spending next year. The
1950 military budget totals 420
billion francs about $1.2 billion).
The French memorandum an
swers a request by the United
States to its North Atlantic pact
allies for information on what
steps they can take to bolster
Western defenses against Com
munist aggression. It is believed to
carry a request for dollar aid to
foot most of the bill.
Britain announced Friday she
is ready to boost her defense
spending to a total of $9,520,000,
000 over the next three years, pro
vided she is given substantial as
sistance by the United States.
Denmark Fund Planned.
Britain and France are the most
powerful European members of
the 12-nation alliance. One of the
smaller members, Denmark, an
nounced today that she proposes
to spend 400 million kroner (about
$57 million) on rearmament and
civil defense in the next two years.
The United States, which is
putting billions into Western de
fenses, had hoped for replies from
all the members of the alliance
today, but some where delayed.
In Belgium, for instance, the crisis
over King Leopold III intervened.
The civilian directors of the al
liance, called the Council of Depu
ties, announced an 18-day ad
journment of their London con
ference last night so they can con
sult their home governments "to
further plans for the increase of
forces which shall be accomplished
in the near future.”
Men and Machines Pledged.
The French memorandum is be
ing relayed to President Truman
by Ambassador David K. Bruce.
Pledging French support to the
Western world’s anti-Communist
bulwarks in terms of men and ma
chines, it is to be made public here
Monday.
Premier Rene Pelven already
has publicly committed France to
a military budget of at least 500
billion francs next year. This
would be an increase of 80 billion
francs over the military alloca
tions for 1950, which represent
about 18 per cent of the total
budget.
France’s big needs are dollars
and machine tools to build an
armament industry. Most of the
nation’s factories for making
tanks and guns were wrecked in
the war and most of those that
weren’t have been converted to
turn out other products.
45 Hurt as Brakeman

HUNTINGTON, N. Y„ Aug. 5.—
A young brakeman opened a main

j Island passenger train today and
j sent it crashing into a freight
parked on a siding.
Nearly 50 persons were reported
injured, but there were no deaths.
Police headquarters estimated
the injured at between 45 and 50,
but said only three of them needed
hospital treatment.
Apparently none of the latter
was critically injured.
Brakeman Sobs Over Error.
The brakeman was identified by

2 Canoeists Saved From Rock
After Upset in Potomac Rapids
Two scared but unhurt sailors
were pulled from the rapids above
Chain Bridge yesterday after
their canoe capsized.
The rescue was made by two
i
7th Precinct policemen and a
boathouse operator who went to
the scene in an outboard motor
boat while awaiting the arrivr
of Harbor Police. *
The sailors, Joe Carbajal, 18, of
New Orleans, and Fred Rinehart, j
19, of Portland, Ore., aerial pho
tographers stationed at the Ana
costia Receiving Station, capsized :
about 2:30 p.m., while trying t*
“shoot the rapids” three-quarters
of a mile above Chain Bridge in
a rented canoe.
They had almost reached calm
water when the light craft was
struck broadside by a wave and
turned over. The sailoK, clad in.
swimming trunks, were swept by
the swift current to a small rock
a few feet away. They managed
to hang on, and frantically pulled
themselves atop the rock, which
is in the center of the narrow
channel through which rush the
swiftest waters of the rapids.
A companion on the excursion,

Sparkman Calls
For Lumber and
Meat Controls
Congress Expected
To Act This Week
On Stand-by Bill
By Cecil Holland
Congress will return to work
Tuesday after a week-end breather
to wrestle with the problems of
economic controls, increased taxes
and vastly expanded expenditures
for defense and foreign aid—all
brought on by the Korean situa
tion and what this country views
as a threat to world peace.
As lawmakers took a recess, it
was indicated:
1. Sentiment seemed developing
in both the Senate and House to
give President Truman stand-by
economic controls with Senator
Sparkman, Democrat, of Alabama,
urging that controls be imposed
at once on such items as meat
| and lumber once authority is
given.
2. The Senate Finance Commit
tee continued consideration of a
tax measure to raise at least $5
billion more in revenue after
agreeing at a meeting yesterday
to accept a House-approved plan
for a speed-up on payment of
corporation taxes.
Defense Funds Considered.
3. Senate and House appropri
ations committees pressed their
consideration of President Tru
man’s request for an additional
$11.6 billion in defense funds and
for $4 billion more for foreign
military assistance.
4. Lawmakers expected that
even much more spending for de
fense needs will be requested and
Senator Byrd, Democrat, of Vir
ginia, predicted that military
needs will boost spending to $60
or $70 billion a year with revenue
falling $10 billion or more short
of that mark.
Senator Sparkman suggested
that Mr. Truman exercise stand
by control authority on such item*
as meat and lumber, once the
authority is given, after the law
makers entered the week end in
a wrangle over what economic
controls should be voted.
Controls Rejected at First.
The matter of controls was con
sidered by the full House and by
the Senate Banking and Currency
Committee last week and both at
first rejected the idea of stand-by
controls to be put in effect at the
discretion of the President.
But there were indications that
both Senate and House sentiment
was changing after the idea of
giving the President authority to
use controls if prices increased by
as much as 5 or 6 per cent was
abandoned.
The House will resume consid
eration of the control issue Tues
day. The Senate committee is
also expected to reach agreement
on some control bill during the
week.
Both the Senate and House be
came involved in the control issue
in considering President Truman’*
request for limited economic pow
ers, including curbs on credit,
commodity speculation and the
allocation of such scarce mate
rials as steel.
Tax Speed-up Sought.
The Senate Finance Committee’s
acceptance of a speed-up in cor
poration taxes w'as reported by
Senator George, Democrat, of
Georgia, the chairman, after an
unusual Saturday session.
The meeting was held in an ef
fort to speed work on President
Truman's request for $5 billion
