"Allied (mostly American) de fenders waited tensely for an ALL OUT offensive that would touch off a red Christmas and open South Korea to a COMMUNIST FLOOD of North Korean and Chinese troops." How big is a "flood?" V'e don't know. But it could be a million men with other millions behind them in reserve. They're there to be used if the Commu nists need them to carry out what ever their purpose may be.

Established 1873 190,000 Reds Massed To Hit Defense Line Record Chinese Budget Nationalizes War Plan, MacArthur Points Out TOKYO UP) United Nations forces manning the 150-mile de fense line across Korea's mid section are braced against the ex pected flood of massed Red man power. But there was little action. General MacArthur predicted that mote than 19 Red divisions tip to 190,000 men would rush against his tightened new lines in the next two weeks. The U. N. commander said Com munist China has mobilized its "war effort on a national scale." In the air, Far East air forces and Fifth air force planes ham mered at Red troops immediately behind the enemy lines. Two Russian-made MIG-15s were re ported destroyed and a third dam aged in a series of three engage ments with U. S. F-80 jets over North Korea. The Communists have ap parently thrown more airpower into the area. One fighter group reported sighting 35 MIGs Wednes day. General MacArtnur s summary said United Nations patrols, oper ating in the western sector of the eighth army, supported by air strikes, destroyed and dispersed several enemy groups ir- the Changllong area Wednesday. Allied troops continued to re pulse enemy attempts to penetrate defense lines in the area south east of Taedong. One South Korean unit pushed the enemy back sev eral thousana yaras in mat sector. Air strikes in the Taedong sector destroyed and routed Communist groups located by U. N. ground patrols. Chinese War Hudgat Racord In his war summary, MacArthur said the last known location nf tne 19 divisions, which compose the Chinese Communist Fourth field army, placed them in a position to hit the eighth army sometime between Jan. 1 and 2. He said there were six Chinese corps in the area and that limited attacks in lesser strength of one or more armies (corps) could be launched at any time, but a coordinated attack could be expected by the 2nd of next month. MacArthur added: "The Chinese war effort on national scale is recognizable in their military budget. According to reliable sources, the Chinese Reds in Peiping have approved the spending of eight billion dollars for war Diirnoses in 1951. This is probably the biggest military bud get in Chinese history." (Chinese Nationalists in Taipei said the Communists' war budget was 8,000,000 000 Chinese silver dollars. On the pre-world war 11 exchange basis, that would be ap proximately $4,000,000,000 U. S.

Wife Demanded Remington's Red Vow, She Swears NEW YORK P William Q. Remington's former wife says she didn't marry him for love, and she made him pledge loyalty lo Com munism before she agreed to the union. Mrs. Ann Moos Remington, testi fying at the perjury trial of the former government economist, said she had been reluctant to marry him. But. she added, it wasn t love that concerned her. 'One of the requirements I asked was that he would continue to be Communist, adhere to the party program and participate in party activities," she testified. "He saw 1 need not worry on that score." The couple, married on Nov. 23, 1938, was divorced a year ago after several years' separation. Details of the divorce were not brought out. Mrs. Remington said she quit the Communist party in 1946. Asked by defense counsel if she loved Remington at the time of their marriage, she answered: . "No. He wanted to marry me. I thought I might grow to love him. He said he loved me. But love meant little to me." Remington, 33, of Ridgewootl, N. J., is accused of falsely swearing he never was a Communist. He quit his $10,000 a-yoar post as a Commerce department economist after he was indicted last July. His 34-year-old former wife, has testified Remington was a Com munist and that he slipped govern ment secrets to a party spy courier. New Year's Death Toll Estimated CHICAGO (IP) The three day New Year's holiday weekend will take 330 lives in traffic crashes, the National Safety coun cil estimates. The .forecast came on the heels of one of the bloodiest ciristmas non- days in histoi,, when 545 motorists or pedestrians lost tneir lives. Ned . Dearborn, council presi dent, said he hopes the tragic Christmas will shock the public into safer driving this weekend. He offered some suggestions to those who want to be alive in 1951: 1. Leave the car in the garage and use public transportation, especially if you intend to drink. 2. Go on the theory that the other fellow, driver or walker, may he woozy and allow him plenty of. room. 3. Refuse to ride with a drinking driver. 4.

INEA Talephotal. ROSEBURG, ORECON THURSDAY, DECEMBER 28, 1950 mkiw as an example indicative oi tne great increase in payrolls. Gaiser cited the fact that during the first half of last year the county pay roll was about 17 million dollars. During the same period this year, the payroll was almost 20 million dollars an increase of over 14 percent. This w the greatest gain in the satate he said. Using the commission's figures, Gaiser noted that approximately 14,250 Douglas county workers in almost every profession are pres ently served under the commis sion's setup. Of this number around 65 percent are employed in logging and lumber industries. In that same category, 68 percent of the payroll of the county is dependent on log ging. Benefit Claims Drop When asked what effect a war might have on the manpower situa tion in Douglas county, Gaiser said it may prove to be a dilemma. In Douglas countv, as in the state and nation, employment is at its high est level in history. To prove this on the local level, he pointed out that last year, during the week be fore Christmas, 1,170 persons were claiming benefits from the commis sion. This year a little over 500 are in this group. The inilul claims filed during that same period in 1949 were close to 400 while this year only 82 filed during the same week. May Shift Manpower Because of this high level of em ployment, it may be necessary to drain oft manpower to more criti cal industries in case of war, Gai ser said. Some of the shortages, both here and in those critical areas, mj.v be alleviated slightly by utilization of the older and younger groups and women. This was the method used at the out break of the last war, said Gaiser, but the situation has changed. Then there were eight lo ten million un employ. d in the United States. Now there are very few. Such a shortage of manpower may be alleviated further by a les ser demand for lumber because of the natural curtailment nf building caused by lack of critical materials and credit cutbacks. In addition, the county and state are not getting their share of de fence contracts, said Gaisr. Ef forts should be made to find out just what facilities the county has to handle such contracts. Strike Draws Pay Boost For Lumber Workers FALL CREEK, Ore.

Stone Of Scone Thought In River LONDON (IP) Rural police JO rules from London said they be lieved the venerable Stone of Scone, stolen from W,-snvnstcr ibDey, had been unceremonicuslv dumped into the River Crouch un der cover of night. A spokesman at Essex police headquarters in Chelmsford re ported a group of persons was seen clumping a "heavy bundle" into the rivrr from a small boat. The police found no trace of the relic on which British kings have sal for crowning since r.ri vard I It.oied the slab from Scotland in 1296. This ancient grievance still ran kles in the breasts of fiery Scot tish Nationalists, who think the. stone should be restored lo ScoV land. Extremists among their number are generally suspected wi'h earr ing off the stone during the early hours Christmas morning from the coronation chair in the depths of the hallowed abbey. I.ondon police today had another lead, a five-ton stolen truck they recovered in suburban Kensington. The truck was snatched from a laclory yard in the Scottish city oi Glasgow.

March Quota Represented In Request New Combat Goal Fixed At 24 Divisions By July; Other Units Do Not Call WASHINGTON - (IP) The army has issued a draft call for bouoo men in March. This will bring the total of army requests for draftees to 450,000 since Uie outbreak of the Korean war. .Che 80.000 asked for March Is the same quota requested in Jan uary and February. me defense department an nouncement said the navv. air force and marines "do not plan to place calls upon the selective service system in March." only the army has used the draft up to now. ihe original quotas for January and February were boosted on D. c. 12 to provide 80,000 drattees in each of the two months. The first call for January was only u,uuu ana uie original cill lor r euruary was 50.000. The draft calls are part of a bu'ld up to give the army a com bat force equal to 24 divisions when it reaches its current ex pansion goal next July 1. nnnougn tne tigure used by the Defense department involves oniv 18 divisions, an army official told a reporter today that the fighting force will be augmented by th so-called regimental combat teams to equal the strength of 24 full di visions. When the Korean war started. the army had 10 divisions, with none of them at full war strength except for a division in Germany. There were about three divisions in the United States. Only one of these, the 82nd airborne, had any thing approaching effective strength and that was only 60 or iv percent ot tun strength. At tne present time, the army ha 3 11 regular divisions, plus four national guard divisions and two guard regimental combat teams which have been brought into fed eral service. Two more guard di visions will federalized next month. All guard units must be framed and brought up ,o full strength after being inducted into the federal army. Another regular army division will be formed in late spring or early next summer. This, it was learned, will be an armored outfit. Currently the army has only one armored divi sion, the 2nd which has been based at Camp Hood, Tex. An 18.000-man infantry division is a self-contained fighting unit, with supporting weapons, including tanks and artillery.
