Military Preparedness Will Continue After War In Korea, Commerce Secretary Says WASHINGTON (API No let-up in the nation's military Erepardness drive even after victory in Korea is promised y Secretary of Commerce Sawyer. He even hinted that new business controls may be expected so as to channel more productive facilities and materials to armament, Sawyer was asked in a radio interview if the United States could properly relax rearmament efforts when the tight in Korea i won. His answer: . "My opinion is that we cannot and should not and will not." The secretary went on to say that this country would be stupid to believe that "we can forget the whole thing and so about our nor mal peacetime pursuits regardless ot what is going on in the rest of the world." Sawyer said he expects more controls on business to be neces sary. He didn't say when, however. As possibilities he listed (1) "perhaps" a halt in manufacture of certain articles requiring mat erials needed for military opera tions, and (2) "probably" prior ities requiring a manufacturer to fill a military order before filling Sawyer, whose department has any other order. supervision over the national pro duction authority, also said: "There may be orders which deal with requisitioning, although that is a rather drastic remedy and we won't undertake it unless it is necessary." He explained that this power will be used only where a case is found of "unreasonable boarding" when the material involved will be seized "without any hesitancy whatever " rifices are expected but there is Sawyer said some civilian sac no reason why all needed fighting equipment can't be turned out with the nation still enjoying "the high est standard of living in the world." He estimated that national out put currentlv is running at a rate of $282,000,000,000 or "far ahead of what it has ever been before " Sawyer laid his department and the NPA are working on mea sures to see that amalf businesses get a share of preparedness work. In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS Modern tragedy: A formation of our American warplanes, providing air support for ground troops in Korea, mistakes British troops for North Koreans and strafes them heavily. The casualties are severe. That is a standard hazard of present day war. The support planes are high in the air. They are moving fast. The ground troops are taking advantage of all the cover they can find. In the heat of the battie, the opposing troops are pretty well mixed up. How are the planes' gunners to be sure EVERY TIME they're shooting at the enemy? It's a prob lem. In this rase, as they so often are. the British are good sports.

Ill UP) The cor oner'a jury wrote an&her familiar chapter in the bloody history of Williamson county death due to gunshot wounds "at the hands of parties unknown." This time it was Roy Armes. 32, brother of a slain member of the rapidly dwindling Shelton gang, the mob whose wars with rival gunmen were the terror of south ern Illinois in the 20s. Roy was blasted to his death early Sunday morning by shots from- a high powered rifle and a shotgun. The shots came from ambush, just as they did when Carl, Bernie and Roy Shelton were shot to death in gang assassinations in te last three years. .The slaving of the Shelton broth ers brought up the unanswered questions who is slaying the Shel tons and why? Similar questions remain unanswered in Armes' death. Armes was a brother of Mon roe (Blackie) Armes, who fought a gen duel with Thomas Castle in Castle's tavern in 1944. Both died in the exchange of shots. Blackie waa one of the Shelton gangsters. Armes had just climbed into his car parked in front of a tavern Sunday morning when the shots hit him in the fare, neck and chest. Buckshot and rifle bullets crashed through the car wind shield. The killers there were two of them, the coroner's jury said Sun dayhad crouched behind a picket fence 45 feet away. At least, ten shots were fired. By a strange coincidence, James Scott, 37, the man who was with Blackie Armes when he was killed, also was with Roy Armes. Both times, Scott escaped. Scott, who said he was an unemployed bar tender, was the only witness to Sunday's ambush. GIVEN PROMOTION John E.

One U. S. marine column that crossed the Han river Sunday first planted the stars and stripes by nightfall on a southwest district height less than two miles from the palace. then a seventh division dough boy column stormed over the Han in dawn mists Monday and fought to knock the Red Korean defend ers off the commanding heights of South mountain, a city park. iwo other columns of American and South Korean marines stabbed into the capital from the west and north. AP Correspondent Don White- head. who crossed the Han' last Wednesday with Fifth regiment marines and Sunday with First regiment leathernecks, said granite-walled Duk Soo is considered the heart of the capital. The other government buildings are slightly to the north. Combat commanders said they were confident the allied force would win Seoul within hours. While the four-pronged drive into the city pushed ahead, a U. S. First cavalry armored patrol sweeping up from the south sped into Chongju. This put them only 40 miles trom the lnchon-S e 0 u 1 beachhead. Its swift drive 70 miles in four days threatened soon to close the lap between the two fronts and. seal tens of thousands of Red Koreans in the south. Allied forces scored sharn sains all along the southeastern tront, from Vongdok on the Sea of Japan to Chinju on the southwest. 1 But allied commandera were throwing the greatest weight of manpower into the battle to secure symbolic Seoul. The Reds captured the South Ko rean capital three days after they invaded across parallel 38 June 25 just three months ago. Fresh reinforcements poured into the beachhead to throw their firepower into the climactic battle for the city. Airborne infantrymen 2,400 landed Sunday at Kimpo airfield northwest of Seoul. One hundred fifty planes shuttled the airborne troops complete with battle kits from Japan. They had just arrived there by ship from the United States. At Inchon, 22 miles west of Seoul, a fresh South Korean division landed. Both outfits were started inland without delay to join in the fight ing.

Given. NLRB Approval WASHINGTON UP) Employ ers have the right to fire workers who engage in a slowdown after the wages are reduced, the Na tional Labor Relations board has ruled. The board held that such workers are not protected under the sec tion of the Taft-Hartley law which guarantees employes the right to engage in concerted activities for self-organization or collective bar gaining. The case involved five employes of the Elk Lumber company, Med ford, Ore. The company discharged the five, lumber car loaders, because they took part in a slowdown after their wages were cut as a result of a change in the company's load ing system. The AFL Lumber and Sawmill Lumber Workers union filed changes wilh the NLRB, but no evidence was submitted at a hear ing that the union was represent ing the five or that it had any part in the slowdown. The board, ruling on the point for the first time, based its deci sion on earlier decisions by the NLRB, the U.S. court of appeals and the supreme court.

Even those problems may be loo big to handle in a quirk session between Nov. 27 and the Christmas holidays. They were the major left-overs when weary lawmakers knocked off work late Saturday with a slap al President Truman a thumping Communist Dill The bill was put on the lawbooks when the Senate voted 57 to 10 to override the veto. That was 12 voles more than the two-thirds majority needed. The House had overturned the veto within an hour afler Mr. Truman aenl it to Capitol hill Friday afternoon. The vote there was 286 to 48. Mr. Truman had denounced the bill roundly, calling it a mockery of the Bill of Rights. So did Attorney General McGrath. Rut McGrath announced last night he is creating a special unit to enforce it "vigor ously." Because of the complex mach inery provided and the announced defiance by the Communist party, it appeared likely that months or even years would elapse before anyone could be punished under the law. It calls for registration with the government by Communist groups and fronts and provides for intern ment of Reds in lime of war, lnva- tion or insurrection. Another major enactment of Ihe adjourned Congress will have al most immediate effect. Starting next Sunday, income tax withholdings will jump one-fifth for most of the nation s 50,000,000 income taxpayers. Statehood May Be Fought Congress went on record as wanting an excess profits lax. It will be considered first in the House. That might give the Senate time to vote first on bills lo grant state hood to Hawaii and Alaska pro vided southerners don't start a filibuster or something approach ing it. The statehood bills would add four more senators to the roster. And there are fears in the south that this would mean four recruits for the civil rights program antl lynching, anti-poll tax and anti discrimination bills.
