U.S. Marines Push Slowly Northward Compiled by John Barton From the wires of Associated Press iSouth Korean army forces are continuing to drive beyond the 38th parallel into Communist North Korea today. The Korean Republic's third division has gone 30 miles beyond the 38th. In the Seoul area, United States. Marines are still pushing slowly northward, wiping out pockets of strong enemy resistance. Superforts Smashed. .. .. . Pyongyang, capital of North Korea, again yesterday. Other United Nations planes are scattering millions of leaflets bearing General Mac Arthur’s surrender message to the Reds. In Peiping, China, Communist China’s Premier Chou En-Lau says China will not “tolerate seeing her neighbors being savagely invaded by imperialists.” And in Lake Success, N.Y., India’s U.N. delegation is reported to have taken a serious view of the China Red statement. The U.N. is still study ing an eight-nation plan of unification for all Korea. Russian-made Mines... . . . have damaged two U. S. Navy destroyers in Korean waters. The Navy says several floating mines—all of Russian manufacture—have been sighted recently in Korean waters. The ships were the Brush, struck last Wednesday, and the Mansfield, damaged Saturday, both made it to the Japanese port of Sasebo under their own power. Killed when the destroyer Brush struck the floating mine was Rich ard D. Woolley of Eugene. Ten other men also died in the Brush explo sion. • , Russia's UN Delegate... . . . Andrei Y. Vishinsky says the UN resolution favoring a unified Korea (abolishing the 38th parallel) is a sign of “direct aggression” against Koreans. It only covers up for American aggression, according to Jhe Red minister. And before the day was over, Vishinsky introduced his own plans for Korean peace—one that calls for an immediate cease fire order and withdrawal of all U.N. troops. Canada's Dollar... ... has been cut loose to find its own level on the world market. It has gained nearly six cents in terms of U.S. dollars in world markets. In New York, most quotations put the Canuck monetary unit at 93% cents tp one American dollar. It is slightly higher in Canadian trading centers. Spokane postmasters have been ordered to issue no more money orders payable in Canada until further notice, apparently because of the loose Canadian dollars. Britain's Treasury Chief... ... will be in the U.S. and Canada early next week to “discuss mutual economic problems.” He’s Hugh Gaitskell, now acting treasury chief. And rumors of course are circulating that Britain may soon raise the dollar value of its pound. It was devaluated last fall. Soviet Union's Stalin... ... acting as prime minister (one of his titles), has received an appeal ddressed to himself and the U.N. from 12 Chinese who say they repre ent 40,000 countrymen in Formosa. The appeal reportedly asks that foreign armed forces be withdrawn Fom Formosa and that any proposal for U.N. trusteeship for Formosa le rejected. The note objected to any type of separation from China for Tormosa. In London, Russian sources are discounting charges by the U. S., Brit lin and France that many German prisoners of war are still being held sy the Soviet Union. “Absolutely unfounded,” say the Reds. rh<? U. S. Supreme Court.. . . . opened a new term yesterday—a term which is figured to include lecisions on important national problems. Principal interest in the new erm centers on legal issues involved in Communist activities and racial elations in this country. The Atomic Energy commission has a new commissioner today. He’s )r. Thomas Keith Glennan. He was sworn in yesterday to bring the com nission up to its five-member strength for the first time in almost eight months. Glennan is on leave from the Case Institute of Technology in Cleveland. ■tarry Bridges. in-again-out-again longshore union boss, will be in Seattle early xt week to start a series of meetings which will decide points of policy r the International Longshoremen’s and Warehousemen’s union. The iWU is now a separate organization. It was expelled from the CIO re ently on charges of following the Communist party line. ilsewhere In Labor... . the morning Post-Gazette of Pittsburgh failed to publish yesterday 'ter AFL mailers struck against the city’s three daily papers. After on papers in Pittsburgh, the Sun-Telegraph and Press, also closed | >wn, printing only a few copies. Failure of the union and management t reach a new contract agreement was blamed for the strike. Westinghouse Electric corporation has granted 50,000 employes a 10 C( Qt hourly pay increase and better pension benefits. More than 4,000 A^L cigar workers at Tampa, Fla., are deciding whether to strike for a ge hike of about 20 cents an hour. In Philadelphia, hotel workers ) have agreed not to strike with baseball’s world series coming up re this week. 'Jvtqtc&iutp 7£efoo>ite% Korean Problem More Important Than SU Coffee J5y Helen Jacksbn Before yours truly had a chance to pop the question to the first of today’s interviewed, a SU coffee bar patron came rushing up and said “You are the Inquiring Report er, aren't you?’’ After being assur ed that he was right, he continued, “Well, I want to ask you a question. Why, oh why, do we have a $250, 000,000 building where you can't buy a cup of coffee without having to wait 180 minutes before you get it? Why don't they raise the price to ten cents a cup and hire some ad ditional help?” Today’s question, however, was concerned with a matter slightly farther away and, to put it mildly, of greater importance, at least na tionally. “What do you think of the Korean situation ?” was not an easy question to answer. Don Onthank—junior in business administration—“I think the situa tion has been greatly relieved and I’m relieved also! Frankly, I don’t know nearly as much as the state department, but I’d like to see the U.N. go ahead and clean out the whole Republic—the U.S. troops as well as the South Koreans as part of the United Nations forces.” Barbara Wiebke—sophomore in liberal arts—“Frankly I’m too busy with classes to pay too much atten tion! I wish there wasn’t any Ko rean situation.” Walt Bush—sophomore pre- den tistry student—“I got my draft call Friday so I should have some thoughts, but they wouldn’t be printable.” Carolyn Louise Welch — “It’s quite a situation—but I don’t see how anybody could have any con structive thoughts knowing as lit tle as they do.” Bob Hazelett—junior in educa tion—“It looks a lot better than it did. I was as surprised as every body that they crossed the 38th parallel so soon. It seemed like a miracle. I think the Americans should stay where they are but let the South Koreans go on past the 38th parallel and clean up all of Korea.” Barbara Plant—junior in art edu cation—“I wish they’d hurry up and get it over with before all the men leave. It sure louses things up.” YWCA Tickets On Sale A limited number of tickets for tlie YWCA sophomore com mission dinner at 5:30 p. ni. to night in Gerlinger Hall, will be on sale at the door, said Mary Alice Baker, commission chair man.
