' South Koreans 50 Miles Past '38' Compiled by John Barton From the wires of Associated Press South Korean army forces are continuing to slash northward into Communist North Korea—in some places as far as 50 miles from the 38th parallel. And some United States authorities are beginning to believe that the mysterious transport column mov ing into Korea from the direction of the Manchurian border is no more than another supply column. There’s been a steady move ment of supplies by road from the Manchurian border through out the war, according to an air force spokesman. Reports Of Red Atrocities... . . . are piling up in liberated South Korea which was overrun by the Communist invaders. A Korean Republic official estimated yesterday at Seoul that the Communists massacred more than 10,000 residents in the capital. Several thousand more are reported lying slaughtered in the outlying hills around Seoul. AP Correspondent Stan Swinton wrote from the west coast port of Kui\san that about 2,000 South Koreans have been reported killed in that vicinity. When the Reds decided to kill, apparently, they killed anyone—men women and children—and did it any way they saw fit. Fighting North Of 38th... . . . was given tacit approval yesterday when the United Nation’s po litical committee approved a Korean peace plan providing for unifica t tion of the country. This is the plan proposed by Great Britain and eight other nations—and supported by the U. S. Voting on the plan by the 60-member committee was done by para graphs. On the whole, the measure was overwhelmingly approved. The committee turned down an Indian proposal that this plan and the Rus sian-proposed cease fire plan for Korea be put befdre a sub-committee. But the USSR delegation didn’t like this idea, either. Marine Corps Casualties... . ... in the Korean war up to Sept. 25 amounted to 2,347, Corps authori ties say. That figure included dead, wounded, and missing. They added that, since Marines were in the thick of bitter fighting in the Seoul area that day, the figure has undoubtedly risen considerably since then. Austrian Communists. . . . . . have been ordered by the Cominform to drop plans to seize power in Austria. That’s the report given yesterday by Allied intelligence sources in Vienna. Don’t try to take over the government, as in Czecho slovakia, the Austrian Reds are being told. Just play hob with it. “This is not the time. Your action should be limited to harassing the govern ment,” the Cominform order is supposed to read. Finnish Elections... . . . are being wound up in Helsinki, and Socialists and Communists still hold a slim lead over the rightist parties. But the rightists are gain ing some of their lost ground, at last reports. With about 80 per cent of the votes counted yesterday, the leftist parties held a slim lead of around 11,000 votes. And in this hemisphere, Brazil is struggling through a presidential election. Scattered early (and unofficial) returns have Brazil’s former Dictator Getulio Vargas a strong lead over his opponents. Vargas was booted out of office in 1945 by the army during a revolution. He ruled Brazil from 1930 until then. Italy's Government... ... is using the wrong financial policies in striving for economic re covery, according to ECA Administrator M. Leon Dayton (of Portland, Ore.). But Dayton’s statement is bringing sharp denials from Italian sources. The government is “astonished” by Dayton’s charges, accord ing to Italian governmental spokesmen. The Portlander says that the De Gasperi government’s policy of curtailing credit has retarded recovery. War On The Pakistan Border... . .. has broken out, according to Karachi, Pakistan, sources. The gov ^ ernment announced that the border has been invaded by Afghanistan tribesmen and regular troops—described as a large force. The two na tions have engaged in a “cold war” for some time over the long stretch of barren hills extending from Pamirs to Baluchistan. Harold E. Stassen... ... president of the University of Pennsylvania, says he has sent a note to Premier Joseph Stalin asking the Russian boss for a personal meeting to chart a new course for world peace. Stassen made public his personal letter to Stalin which he wrote last Monday. He wants a conference be tween Stalin and members of the Russian Politburo and himself and four or five other American citizen leaders. Drafting Of Doctors... ... will be the subject of advice to the selective service by a new seven man commission being appointed by President Truman. The commission will be headed by Dr, Howard Rusk, doctor-writer of the New'York Times, and will advise the selective service on the drafting of physicians and dentists for duty in the armed forces. The Nation's Food Prices... . . . have finally begun a downward movement—expected by officials for some time. It’s due to the season, they say. At any rate, pork cuts have dropped from two to 12 cents a pound in many markets across the country. Pork is now below the level of prices where it stood just before the Korean war. Other food prices are sliding too, according to a nation wide AP poll. An Oregon Sheriff... .. . yesterday shot and killed a 19-year-old fugitive from law near Mc Minnville. Charles Farmer, who escaped from Bingen, Wash., police Mon day night, is the dead youth. It was the fourth time since Monday that Farmer had been fired on by police. He was on parole from the Monroe, y Wash., state training school, and broke away from police in Bingen when picked up on a burglary charge.

Nations have collapsed before because they allowed disunity to destroy them. Why do we love America? Because, under our form of government, the indi vidual—and that means you—is con sidered important. But this works two ways. If we want to be secure in our own right, each of us must be willing to respect the rights of others. If we discriminate against other people for any reason, we’ll soon find others die* criminating against us. Then what will we have? A family squabble—national disunity—and the enemies of our system laughing up their sleeves. Make sure you are not spreading ru mors against a race or a religion. Speak up, wherever you are, against prejudice, and work for better understanding. Re member, that’s being a good American citizen. Accept or reject people on their individual1 worth
