The naval spokesman said

An Air Force spokesman said

12-year-old school has depended
heavily on gifts of food, codliver
oil, money, and equipment.
According to Glenn Russell,
chairman, nursery schools in
some other towns have been
given use of cold storage lock-
ers so that friends of the school
may contribute beef or other
meat as they slaughter.
As a home for children of
working mothers, the nursery
school has performed a definite
public service to the community.
With modern equipment, work-
ers will find it easier to fulfill
this function of providing a day
nursery for those who would not
receive adequate care at home.

“tremendous.” One-third of New
York City’s population was ex-
pected to flock to the country

pected 1,800,000 cars on high-

England children were on the
move to New Hampshire and
Maine camps.
plaints that be had gone
far without Congressional
provul and, at the very least,
should report the situation to
a join session.
Not New Hltaatioa
But past Presidents on scores
of occasions have sent Amer-
ican soldiers, sailors or marines
into foreign shores without ap-
proval of Congress.
There have been few weeks
in American history, however,
in which basic policies of any
administraton have been on
such a merry-go-round as right
here this week.
The great split between Dem-
ocratic and Republican foreign
policy for months has been in
the Far East. Republicans have
been demanding big aid to Gen-
eralissimo Chiang Kai-Shek and
active protection of the island
of Formosa by American mili-
tary power and general resis-
tance to communism in Asia.
Secretary of State Dean Ache-
son stood pat against any such.
Last Tuesday the President
reversed Acheson on Formosa
when he ordered use of force
in Korea. And some persons be-
lieve there will lie even more
tangible support to Chiang
soon. Formosa is the big is-
land off China to which Chi-
ang’s beaten government has
retired.
And with the events of the
week came discovery that our
ex]>ensive intelligence organi-
zation is not working well. At
least it flopped in Korea. A
miiokie Congressional inquiry
has developed so far only the
puzzling fact that no one seems
to know who was responsible
for warning Mr. Truman that
tlie Korean blow was coming.
Congress will want to know
more about that when the im-
mediate crisis is over.

ON TECH HONOR ROLL
LUBBOCK — Robert M. Krai
of Sweetwater was named to the
sining semester honor roll at
Texas Tech, it has been an-
nounced. The roll includes the
upper five percent of students,
scholastically. Krai, agriculture
junior, has a grade average of
2.63, with a 3 point as the high-
est possible.
Milton P. Rhodes of Nolan, ag-
ricultural freshman, also was
named to the roll with a grade
of 2.60.
MOSCOW, July 1, (UP)— Rus-
•tena charged today that South
Korea prepared for a “hot war”
atx days before the Korean fight-
ing began and that the U. S. and
Chiang Kal Shek have a secret
military pact calling for the in-
vasion of the Chinese mainland
by American and Japanese
troops.
The charges were made in the
Literary Gazette, which carried
three articles on the Korean
war, while the front pages of all
Soviet newspapers were domin-
ated by stories on the gathering
of signatures on petitions (tan-
ning the atomic bomb.
Vsevold Ivanov, writing In the
Gazette, said the U. S. and Na-
tionalist China had a pact calling
for intervention Jn the Chinese
civil war and invasion of the
mainland.
Ivanov cited a Chinese news-
paper which gave the terms of
the alleged secret accord as fol-
lows;
Japanese troops are to invade
northeast China while Ameri-
cans act in northern and central
China, with Kuomintang forces
operating in south China.
Commenting on President Tru-
man’s order for the Seventh
Fleet to guard Formosa, the
Gazette said:
“This provocative- behavior,
unparalleled in the history of
international relations, has pro-
voked the indignation of the
great Chinese people and all pro-
gressive humanity.”
Another article written by N.
Gribachev said that John Foster
Dulles, Republican Foreign
policy adviser, gave the green
light to South Korean president
Syngman Rhee, who on June 19
ordered a "hot war” after receiv-
ing Dulles’ assurance that "the
Seoul government could rely on
American aid under any circum-
stances.”

DALLAS COUNTY 612,318

do most of thejob.-
Tpp civilian and military offi-
ciate here hoped at first that the
status quo could be restored in
Korea without using U. 8.
ground combat troops. However,
MacArthur reported after his
visit to the battlefront that U. S.
air and naval support would not
be enough.
After getting his go-ahead
orders, MacArtnur’s first action
was to fly in a battallion of
American infantrymen, normal-
ly about 1,000 strong. These sol-
diers were moved up to the Jum
River, 10 to 20 miles north of
Taejon, where they dug in until
the remainder of a 15,000-man
infantry division could be
brought from Japan by ship with
tanks and heavy artillery.
The battallicm’s exact equip-
ment is secret? However, it has
more firepower than battalions
had at the end of World War II
because of the addition of 3.5-
inch super bazookas and possib-
ly some newly-developed recoil-
less guns.
MacArthur has available in
Japan four U. S. infantry di-
visions.
They were relieved of their oc-
cupational duties about a year
ago and have been devoting most
of their time since to combat
training.
