YOUTH, 19, CONFESSES TAGGART SLAYING
Big Red Buildup
Reported Along
Kumsong Line
Tanks and Artillery
Support Infantry
In March South
By the Associated Press
SEOUL, July 18. —Thousands
of Chinese infantrymen sup
ported by tanks and field guns;
today swarmed recklessly south
ward in daylight as the Commu
nists boldly beefed up troops
which smashed through the
Kumsong bulge this week
Even as allied air spotters
watched Red infantry stream
across the Kumsong River, three
South Korean divisions moved
cautiously northward over ground
given up in the mighty Commu
nist onslaught.
There was no indication
whether the big Red buildup sig
naled new attacks or was a fran
tic effort to hold newly won
positions.
Heavy fighting broke out east
of the Kumsong bulge as the
Communists slammed about 4,000
men against South Korean and
American positions on the east
ern front.
North Koreans Attack.
One North Korean regiment—
about 2,500 men—struck three
hill position northeast of the
Purfchbowl, about 15 miles east
of the bulge, in a co-ordinated
assault backed by 30,000 rounds |
of artillery and mortar fire, the
Bth Army said.
In a fierce three-hour fight, the
ROKs drove back the assault
force and killed or wounded an
estimated 977 Reds, the army
said.
Infantrymen of the United
States 45th Division smashed
back two 700-man Red attacks
near Christmas Hill.
Waves of allied planes strafed
and dive bombed the Red troops
as they openly crossed the Kum
song on bridges or forded the ;
river.
Heavy trucks rumbled through
the shallow water, apparently
oblivious to allied planes over- '•
head.
The sth Air Force said its!
fighter-bombers hurled more
than 500 tons of high explosives ,
in 375 close support missions,
most of them over the tense
Kumsong front.
One South Korean unit said
45 Russian-built T-34 tanks were
operating in its area but Ameri
can officers confirmed reports
the Communists have concen
trated more tanks in the Kum
song bulge than in any one sec
tor for two years.
There were no indications the
Reds were willing to risk much
of their precious armor soutlv
of the Kumsong, however.
ROKs Meet Opposition.
Associated Press Correspond
ent Forrest Edwards reported air
spotters saw many tanks in the
open along the Kumong, but
there were few indications the
Reds had more than a token
force—if that—below the river
Meanwhile, the slow South
Korean northward push that has
regained up to 5Vz miles in three
days ran into its first stiff oppo
sition.
Some 700 Chinese counter
attacked in the pre-dawn and
hurled back the ROKs from four
hill positions taken originally
against little resistance.
But by noon the South Ko
reans won back two of the hills
and were assaulting the other
two.
Positions Regained.
The easing of tight military
censorship showed that:
Generally the South Koreans
have regained the line they were
supposed to have withdrawn to
earlier in the week before the
mighty 80,000-man Red assault
that straightened out the Kum
song bulge.
The ROKs, in the face of little
or no resistance, have moved
back about to the Kumsong.
The ROKs were supposed to
have pulled back last Monday
to a line running east-west along
the Kumsong River just before
it flows into the Pukhan.
But in the confusion of mas
sive Communist onslaught, the
South Koreans fell back about
\ 10 miles in spots—five more
miles than ordered. This is the
ground regained in the north
ward push.

Allies Must Fight On if Reds
Balk in Korea, Dulles Warns
Secretary and Negotiator Report to Nation;
Robertson Confident of Rhee's Sincerity
By John M. Hightower
Associated Press Staff Writer
Grim United States concern
over Communist conduct in the
truce negotiations was mirrored
today in official word that the
allies must fight on in Korea if
the Reds reject an “honorable
peace.”
With the negotiations at a
critical stage—indeed, recessed
again at Communist request
until tonight (1 a.m. tomorrow)
—Secretary of State Dulles told
the Nation and the world last
night:
“We are not - suppliants. We
are ready for honorable peace.
But if the Communists want
war, we must be ready for that,
too.”
Secretary Dulles denounced as
absurd Red insistence on “guar
antees” by the United Nations
Command that Syngman Rhee's
South Korean government would
abide by the truce terms. This
has been the apparent cause of
Communist refusal to bring the
talks to a successful conclusion.
Secretary Dulles in effect
questioned the Reds’ good faith.

Phone Employes
In Work Stoppage
Fail to Show Up at
Offices in Arlington
And Alexandria
A “spontaneous” work stop
page by telephone operators and
repairmen in the Arlington and 1
Alexandria offices of the Chesa- j;
peake <& Potomac Telephone Co. i:
began this morning, catching ;
both company and union officials ;
by surprise.
Glenn E. Watts, director of '
District 2. Communications
Workers of America (CIO), said
the failure of 20 to 30 telephone 1
operators and seven repairmen to ;
report for work was a surprise
to him.
“It is apparently a protest of
the presently deadlocked bar
gaining,” he said.
The union and the company
have been negotiating for sev
eral months on renewal of con
tracts which cover an estimated
7,000 telephone company workers
in the Washington area.
Delays Called Minor.
A company spokesman said
only minor delays were ex
perienced in long-distance and
short-haul calls this morning
as supervisors took over the
panels. Local dial service is
not affected by the walkout.
“We have no idea why the
operators didn’t go to work. We
are still bargaining,” the spokes
man said.
Mr. Watts said union officials
“have been having a bit of
trouble for several weeks try
ing to keep our people from
walking out. There has been
an awful lot of grumbling about I
the company’s position in nego
tiations.”
He said the union has elimi
nated from its new contract re
quests such things as demands
for improvements in health, wel
fare and hospitalization bene
fits. An Br2-cent-an-hour8 r 2-cent-an-hour pay
increase, a 7-hour day and more
liberal vacation policy are still
sought by the union.
Contract Died June 7.
The company official empha
sized that although the contract
with union employes expired
June 7, the company is contin
uing the same policies and bene
fits it provided.
Union officials have said the
company proposals in the new
contract bargaining would “take
away some of the good things l
we have been able to get in the ,
past few years.”
No picket lines were estab- i
lished at the two offices. There
was no indication whether the
workers would return to, their
| jobs today. 1

$34.5 Billion Military
Bill Will Come Up
In Senate Wednesday
Committee Votes Funds;
Fight to Restore Some
Os Air Force Cuts Seen
By John A. Giles
A $34.5 billion military appro
priations bill was before the
Senate today with indications
Democrats would stage a floor
fight to restore some of the cuts
in Air Force funds wnich they
failed to do in the Appropria
tions Committee.
The committee reported the
money bill out late yesterday and
it comes up in the Senate Wed
nesday.
The measure is $6.2 billion
less than the tentative Truman
budget submitted last January
and almost sl\3 billion below
President Eisenhower’s “bare
minimum” revised estimates.
Ferguson Defends Cuts.
Chairman Ferguju of the
Senate Military Appropriations
Subcommittee said the program
“gives the President all he needs
for the armed services for this
fiscal year and will provide
enough for a first-grade Air
Force with more combat planes
than would have been provided
under the Truman budget.”
The committee restored nearly
S2OO million of the $240 million
that the House had cut from
the Air Force requests by the
new administration.
It defeated by a vote of 17 to
9 a motion by Senator Maybank,
Democrat, of South Carolina, to
add S4OO million to the Air
Force funds. It also turned
down a series of attempts by
Senator Hayden. Democrat, of
Arizona, to increase the air
arm’s appropriations.
The committee also gave back
$96 million of the nearly S4OO
million that the House cut from
Navy funds and s3l million of
the House whacked from Army
appropriations.
Machine Tools Cut.
Biggest Senate committee re
duction was $250 million, or
exactly half of the SSOO million
that Secretary of Defense Wilson
had asked for a pool of ma
chine tools.
As the bill reached the Senate
floor it carried a net of $77
million more than was voted by
the House.
The Senate group knocked out

Reds Delay
Showdown
Truce Talks
By the Associated Press
MUNSAN, July 18—A possible
showdown meeting of allied and
Communist truce negotiators
was postponed for 24 hours to
day at the request of the Reds.
The recess put off until 2
p.m. tomorrow (1 a.m. EDT Sun
day) an expected Red reply to
reported allied demands that
the Communists sign an armis
tice now or face the prospect
of a breakdown in the negotia
tions.
The second consecutive 24-
hour recess requested by the
Reds was arranged during a
one-minute meeting of liaison
officers of Panmunjom.
North Korean Col. Ju Yon
said the delay was needed for
“administrative reasons" and
the United Nations quickly
agreed, an official spokesman
said.
The extra day gives the Red
high command more time to ar
! rive at what may be a momen
tous decision vitally affecting the
chances for a quick end to more
than three years of fighting.
Only a few hours before ask
ing for a second 24-hour recess,
the Communist Peiping radio de
clared that “the Americans are
responsible for holding up the

President May Ask
Debt Limit Increase
By th« Associated Press
President Eisenhower, who
found himself carrying the big
gest national debt in peacetime
today, may ask Congress next
week to increase the $275-billion
debt limit.
A $6-billion boost in the debt,
resulting from the largest new
borrowing since World War 11,
lifted the debt yesterday to
$272,361,259,801.91.
This is just $7 billion below the
wartime peak of February, 1946,
and within $3 billion of the legal
ceiling imposed by Congress.
Officials have predicted the
Government would have to bor
row at least $3 billion more be
fore January.
Secretary of the Treasury
i Humphrey issued a statement
i last night pinning responsibility
I on the Truman administration.
I The debt, he said, “points up
| the situation which the spending
| programs of the past few years
| have produced.” These programs,
he said, caused the fiscal 1953
i deficit of $9,389,000,000 which he

Cut of sl.l Billion j
In Foreign Aid Funds
Approves Subcommittee
Recommendations, Cites
Need to Balance Budget
By Robert K. Walsh
Funds for the foreign aid pro
-1 gram were cut sl.l billion today
; in a House Appropriations Com
. mittee bill that slashed Presi
. dent Eisenhower’s request for
new money and greatly curtailed
the use of carry-over sums.
The committee, in clearing the
; bill for House action, confirmed
cuts recommended by a subcom
mittee and cited the need for a
■ balanced budget.
The full committee recom
mended new appropriations to
i taling $4.3 billion for the fiscal
year which started July 1. It
also allowed $1.7 billion in un
obligated funds carried over I
I from the previous fiscal year.
! The $4.3 billion in new funds
was $705 million less than Pres- j
. ident Eisenhower asked and $3.1
billion below the original esti
i mate of former President Tru
• man. The $1.7 billion figure rep
! resented a curtailment of $402
i million in unobligated carry
over money.
House Debate Tuesday.
_ The foreign aid appropriation
’ bill comes up for House debate
. Tuesday. It is expected to arouse
great controversy because some
’ Republican members regard the
committee’s action as a rebuff
to President Eisenhower and
many Democrats believe the com
mittee made dangerous cuts 'ln
the original Truman budget.
President Eisenhower requested
$5,138,922,277 in new appropria
tions for the present fiscal year.
President Truman asked for
about $7.6 billion. President Ei
senhower wanted $3,548,570,054
in new funds for military aid in
, the foreign assistance program,
j The committee cut that to about
$3.1 billion.
j The committee in reporting out
I the bill today declared that the
, | reductions would neither injure
nor delay the foreign military
! and economic aid program.
“The amount recommended in

41 Die in Crash
01 Marine Plane
At Florida Field
Navy ROTC Men
En Route to Norfolk
Are Victims; 5 Survive
By th« Associated Press
MILTON, Fla., July 18—A
Marine cargo plane carried 41
young ROTC midshipmen and
crewmen to fiery death when it
crashed on a farm and burst
into flames after taking off from
Whiting Field last midnight.
Charred bodies of the victims
were recovered by Navy teams
which worked at the grim task
throughout the night.
Five other occupants of the
two-engine plane were rushed to
Pensacola Naval Air Station
Hospital, 30 miles south of here,
where two were reported in
critical condition and three in
serious condition.
The plane, transformed into
a massive “ball of flames’! after
plunging into a clump of trees
a mile north of the runway,
smashed three parked automo
biles and plowed into a barn on
the farm of Ray Allen.
Six survivors were picked up
by Navy rescue teams, but one
of the men died in the Whiting
Field Hospital about four hours
later without regaining con
| sciousness.
Five Planes in Flight.
The plane was part of a flight
|of five transports which had
made a refueling stop at Whit
' ing. They were ferrying 200 mid
shipmen from Corpus Christi,
Tex., to Norfolk, Va., for another
phase of their six-week summer
training program.
The Navy at Norfolk said two
of the survivors were Marine
Corps members of the plane’s
six-man crew, Capt. C. E. Mc-
Grath and Corpl. J. P. Tuttle.
The Navy also said other planes
of the type that crashed were
being grounded temporarily and
other type planes were taking
over the airlift.
One plane already had taken
off for Norfolk after being fueled.
The second had cleared the run
way and was gaining altitude
when it plunged to the ground.
Alex Allen, 15, dashed out of
his farm home when he saw
"a ball of flame about 150 yards
long.
“Then the barn caught on fire
and a boy came walking up to
me, his clothes were burning all
i over and he asked me to pull
! off his shoes and clothes,” he
said. 2
