(AP Wirephoto.l Teachers Retain Jobs Despite Balk At Non-Red Oath SAN FRANCISCO. July 22 Forty high-ranking professors at the University ot California have their jobs today despite tneir re fusal to sign contracts disavowing Communism. But their opponents promise a new fight to unseat them. The decision to keep 39 of the professors was made in a 10 9 vote of the university board of re gents yesterday with governor Earl Warren casting the deciding vote The 40th man was approved later when university President Ro bert Gordon Sproul was advised still another overlooked professor awaited action. Warren has argued consistently that compulsory oaths are not the way to fight Communism. Voting with Warren was Adm. Chester W. Nimitz, World War II commander of the Pacific fleet. There were 62 professors who i objected and whose reasoning gain ed the approval of the committee. Dismissal of six other professors and six junior faculty members was voted by the regents. There were 22 who changed their minds about signing the contracts after the Korean war broke, Pre sident Sproul reported. In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS From Korea: "Communist troops with thun derous artillery support poured into the . approaches to tottering Taejon (Taejon has been our field headquarters) today, paying a heavy price in blood as they threw outnumbered American defenders back to new defense positions." "Paying a price in blood as they throw us back." What does that mean? . It means that our boys, outnum bered anywhere from five to one to ten to one (the dispatches use both figures), are fighting grimly as they give way and have to re treat. But we have to remember that they, too, are paying a heavy price in blood. When, Oh, WHEN, will we learn not to make passes that may lead to shooting war unless we are PREPARED to go to war IN TIME instead of too little and too late? More from Korea: "To the west of Taejon Commu nist forces stabbed southward in a FLANKING movement. The U.S. communique (a communique is an official report on the progress of the fighting) said this flanking mtvement forced orderly with drawals from the sector." What is a flanking movement? In football, which most of us un derstand better than war, we call it an end run. The purpose of an end run is to get behind the op posing line. The purpose of a flank ing movement is the same.

The new charges involve union efforts to take jurisdiction over varitypers, teletypesetters and op erators of other new printing proc esses. The charges, filed by the Ameri can Newspaper Publishers associa tion (ANPA), are being investigat ed by field representatives of Rob ert N. Denham, general counsel of the National Labor Relations board. He must decide whether to issue a complaint and prosecute the union before the NLRB. Thus a new nation-wide legal fight between the ANPA and toe ITU opens even before their last fight is fully settled. Last fall the NLRB found the union guilty of unfair labor prac ticesparticularly with regard to hiring policies and issued an or der to stop. But NLRB officials say the union hasn't fully com plied, and Denham has been pre paring to seek enforcement in a U.S. Court of Appeals. The union says it is ready to comply but wants to discuss terms. Two Charges Specified The new charges are that the ITU and its national ouicers: 1. Coerced employes by requir ing local union to strike if pub lishers would not agree for the un ion to have jurisdiction ever people who operate new-type machines. - 2. Refused to bargain" in good faith by requiring local unions to require publishers to agree to cer tain proposals before contract ne gotiations could even begin. Elisha Hanson, general counsel of the ANPA, told a reporter the ITU has already revolted local un ion charters in Mansfield, Ohio, and Fort Smith, Ark., because Uiey would not follow directions. He said strikes have been called in Meriden, Conn.; Texarkana and El Dorado, Ark.; Roseburg and Klamath r'alls, Ore., Pasco, Wash., and Lorraine and Marietta, Ohio. , , Gerhard Van Arkel, counsel for the ITU, told a reporter concerning the new charges: "They have no basis. They are utterly without foundation. They are only another step in the ANPA's campaign to beat down legitimate trade unionism by the use of the Taft-Hartley act."

Suit Follows Story On Credit For First Jeep MIAMI. Fla..

July 22 (iW King Leopold III came home from exile in Iwitzerland today and immediately called on all Bel gians to avoid further bitter strug gle. The nation has been split down the middle by his insistence upon returning to the throne he left 10 years ago after surrendering to the Nazis. Leopold did not bring his com moner wife, the Princess DeRethy. home to Belgium with him. She has been the target of some of the most vitriolic anti - Leopold speeches. The princess who expects a baby next winter, will stay in Geneva, Switzerland, where Leopold pass ed most of his five-year exile. Leopold has said that his wife will never be queen, but the So cialists have contended that the King's wife is automatically queen of Belgium. The Communists called their fol lowers to demonstrate against the King tonight and there were un confirmed rumors that the Social ists might stage a protest rally this afternoon. Less than five hours after Leo pold landed on Belgian soil, the two main opposition parties the Socialists and the Liberals de manded that he abdicate. But in his radio address to the nation a short time later, the king gave no indication as to whether he intends to quit in favor of hit son, Prince Baudouin, who came home with him. . ...... , ' There was 'not one cheer, nor one single handclap as the mon arch, whose surrender to the Ger mans in 1940 led to a political fight which has split Belgium in two, landed at heavily-guarded Haren military airport. Only a handful of early risers, besides the 8,000 military guards, were present. Threatened demonstrations by vi olently anti-Leopold Socialists did not materialize, possibly because the time of his arrival was such a closely guarded secret. Course In Wer Angers Band music, a few handshakes from government officials, and the salutes of the men assigned to guard him, were all the welcome Leopold got after his six years absence from ms homeland. The Nazis took Leopold to Ger many in 1944, when Brussels was about to- fall to advancing Allied troops, under heavy guard. Many Belgians charged that he was more "guest" of the Nazis than a prisoner of war. This, add ed to the fact that he had surrend ered to the invaders in 1940 instead of fleeing to England with his min isters to continue the fight, led to his being exiled in 1945. Ex-Roseburg Pastor Gets Washington, D.C., Pulpit PORTLAND, July 22-4P) The Rev. William C.
