Dangerof Collapse Faces U.N. Attack Compiled by John Barton From the wires of Associated Press The United Nations attack to end the war in Korea is in danger of collapsing today. A 20-mile retreat by the South Korean Sec ond corps—practically a rout—left the entire United States Eighth army in extreme danger late yesterday. The counter-attack by Communist forces, made up almost en tirely of Chinese Reds, began Saturday night. The Reds are using men, men, and more men. And they’re not using much of any thing else. High manpower losses don’t seem to mean much to them. Reason for Failure... ... at least temporary failure, of the U. N. offensive is said to be the sudden insertion of extra Chinese troops from Manchuria into the con flict. The Chinese already had an estimated 100,000 men in the Korean war. Spokesmen say the situation in Koreat today is “quite confused.” Red China Entered the U. N... . . . yesterday in a dramatic way. The Communist Chinese delegation wicked into a meeting of the U. N. political committee just as Russia’s Andrei Y. Vishinsky was delivering a tirade against U. S. intervention in Formosa. Vishinsky interrupted himself long enough to welcome the Red lead er. The Chinese came to the political committee meeting to enter the debate on Formosa. But the U. S. got a word into the debate, too, by saying that Russia is trying in every way to poison friendly relations between the American and Chinese people. Communists Took A Real Beating... . . .in the Soviet zone municipal elections in Burgenland province of Austria yesterday. It was the only free, open election the Reds have ever allowed in Eastern Europe since the war. And they received only 2.87 per cent of the contested seats in municipal councils. The Peoples (Catholic) party won slightly more than 53 per cent of the popular vote. Next were the Socialists. The Communist press, of course, proclaimed a “large and surprise” election win for Reds. Statehood for Alaska. .. . . .is item number one on the agenda of Congress as it goes into its “lame duck” session this week. And the legislators also got a plea from President Truman to put an extension on rent controls. Tru man wants 90 days more rent control after the present legislation expires Dec. 31. Right behind the statehood-for-Alaska measure is a similar proposal for Hawaii. But Congressmen and Senators say they don’t thing anything will happen in this session, unless its the passage of some emergency legislation. The new Republican-strong 82pd Congress meets Jan. 3. Incidentally, both statehood measures passed the House earlier this year, and are now before the Senate only. A Left-Wing Englishman. . . . . .has been given permission by the Supreme Court of the United States to appear before that judiciary body and argue the appeal of 11 convicted Communist leaders. He’s D. N. Pritt, former member of the British Parliament. He’s been expelled from the British Labor party. But the court refused to give the British lawyer more time and he says he may not be able to make it to the U. S. The case is set for next Monday. All Northeast United States Is Paralyzed... . . .today by snow, low temperatures, and damage caused by storms ov|£ the weekend. The latest death count is 236. Damage to property is funning into the million of dollars. Losses on Atlantic coast areas alone amount to about 100 million. Scores of schools are staying closed. Hundreds of motorists are marooned away from their homes. In Cleve land, snow was still falling yesterday. Youngstown, Ohio, already had 29 inches of the white stuff yesterday, with more on the way. Most of Ohio is just plain knocked out by the weather. Even in Kentucky cars are trapped on the highways. Pittsburgh shivers under 28 inches of snow. That’s a record there. In New Jersey yesterday,'two million people started the day without electricity or telephone service. Erupting Mount Etna... . . .is pouring a slow-moving river of lava dangerously-near six hamlets on the northeastern slopes of the Sicilian mountains, Europe’s highest volcano. But the speed of the flow, yesterday about 100 feet an hour, is getting slower by the hour, and may stop completely be fore long. In the nearest village, people camped out all night, so they could be ready to move at the first danger. Etna has been erupting ever since man has recorded history in Europe. The ancients placed the god Vulcan there. A New Korean Commission... . . .arrived on the war-torn peninsula yesterday to begin the task of unifying the split country. The new commission is called the Unit ed Nations Commission for Unification and Rehablitaton of Korea (UNCURK). Korean officials figure arrival of the new commission means a general election for Korea in the near future. Help in Defending Indochina. . . . . .has been asked of the other free nations of the world by U. S. Assistant Secretary of State Dean Rusk. Yesterday Rusk praised the action of France in pledging independence to Viet Nam and two other local states in Indochina. And he said he hopes other “free nations” will join this country in helping to keep Communism out of Indochina. Campus TK&vuf- tyx-fcoutd At Sigma Kappa. . .
