Of House Margin Large Enough To Nullify Threat Of Possible Truman Veto WASHINGTON t.T Disre oarHin? thnichance of a president' ial veto, the House today passed a subversives control bill calling for peacetime registration ot torn munists and wartime internment ot potential apiea and taboteurs. Agreeing to a senate-House com promise on conflicting versions of the bill, the House sent it back to the Senate for expected speedy con currence. By completing congressional ac tion at once, the Senate could send the bill to the White House in time for President Truman to act on it before Congress begins a hoped for adjournment or recess t h it weekend. Should President Truman decide to veto it. today's top-heavy vote made it almost certain that the House would override it by the necessary two-thirds vote. The vote today was 312 to 20. There is no assurance that Mr. Truman will veto the bill. In fact, some house sources close to him think he will approve it, perhaps with a critical atatement. The com promise bill is a redraft of earlier versions which the President pub licly objected to on the ground they would endanger the rights of loyal citizens. A White House aide last night withheld comment on the possibil ity of a veto, but said that ot some 6,000 telegrama and letters re ceived in the last four or five day on the issue, only 200 favored the anti-communist legislation. What Bill Pr.vid.a The hill would require Commu nists and fellow travelers to regis ter with the federal government, through the attorney general. Failure to do so could subject them to imprisonment for 10 years and a fine of (10.000. In time ot war or rebellion,. the government could intern persons regarded as potential spies or sab oteurs, although they would not be confined as criminals. Presumably, they would be put into civilian in ternment centers. In addition to requiring registra tion and providing for detention, the bill tightena up existing espio nage, sabotage, alien exclusion, de portation and immigration lawa. In general, it would make it harder for an undesirable person to get into the country and still harder for him to slip out. It would require Communist and "front" groups to label as Communist-inspired any material they mailed or broadcast. Communists would be barred from federal employment and from jobs in defense plant and vital public utilities.

Woodburn Jigh School Safe Robbed Of 04 WOODBURN I.P The Wood hurfihigh school safe was cracked Monday night, and S204 was taken, police reported. The money was the receipts of Woodburn's first high school foot ball game of the season. The safe crackers broke in throng win dows, and used a torch, drill, sledgehammers and chisels to break the safe open. The tools were taken from the school shops. The inside of the school was damaged considerably. But the Neds were pouring fresh reinforcements of men and equip ment into the city and there were signs a major battle was in prog ress. Observers said allied forces suffered their heaviest casualties of the Inchon invasion in the ap proaches to Seoul. Allied airmen using Superforti and fighter planes gave support to the attack by plastering communi cation lines within a 105-mile ra dius of Seoul. Their aim waa to pre vent if possible the Communists from bringing in reinforcements from any direction. Allied planes swooped in to at tack enemy vehicles disguised a I haystacks near Suwon, 20 miles south of Seoul. U. S. warships, including the bat tleship Missouri, poured a thunder ous fire at Communist positions on the northeast bank ot the Han. ine 'EX from the east coast after laying down fire to enable South Koreans to capture Pohang. South Koreans Gain In Washington the army an nounced that South Korean ma rines stormed ashore at Samchok on the east coast opposite Seoul and established a beachhead. The landing was made several days ago. Samchok is the eastern terminus of a railway connecting that city with Seoul. It liea I0S airlines miles from Pohang. The landing apparently Is to cut off Communist reinforcements to both Seoul and the Allied-held southeast perimeter. As the marines tightened their grip on Seoul the other end of the Allied nutcracker moved on re treating Communists on the south east beachhead. South Koreana se cured Pohang and started moppinf up the surrounding area. Other South Koreans captured high ground overlooking Kigye, nine miles northwest of Pohang. A spokesman said they had re captured virtually all ground lost In the Communists' September breakthrough. Four American bridgeheads have now been secured across the Nak- long river. Infantrymen fought for a major breakthrough in the north west corner of the perimeter. After rapturing Waegwan yesterday their objectives now are Kumchon and Taejnn, important rail and road junctions on the way to Seoul.
