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.

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.”
