North of Parallel

From the wires of the Associated Press
Allied troops speared north of parallel 38 on Korea's east
coast Sunday, but fell back before attacking Reds on the central
front. Artillery again pounded Seoul in the West.
A field dispatch reported leading elements of the South
Korean capital division marched across the parallel Sunday and
occupied \ angyang. The town is five miles north of the pre-war
line that divided the Korean republic from the Communist North.
It was the first time north of the 38th parallel for United
Nations forces since they withdrew southward in the face of the
Chinese Communist offensive last month. The South Koreans
have been moving up the East coastal road behind bombard
ments laid down by U. N. warships.
Allied patrols pulled out of Seoul Sunday night as Com
munist hornets’ nest defenses repulsed efforts to establish a
bridgehead on the north banks of the Han River.
A State of Emergency Was Proclaimed...
... in western Washington flood areas Sunday by Governor Arthur
B. Langlie, as the number of persons driven from their homes by rising
rivers in the Pacific Northwest rose to an estimated 5,250.
The Red Cross said that at least 4,600 persons had been driven from
their homes in northwest Washington. There was no immediate esti
mate for the Southwestern section of the state.
^ The Governor’s action came shortly after hundreds fled their homes
as the rampant Skagit River punched new holes in dikes near its mouth.
Langlie said that his proclamation merely placed the state in a po
sition to call in federal troops for assistance in the event state resources
■—the state patrol and national guard—become exhausted.
The Largest Joint Naval Maneuvers...
. . . since the second World War will begin in the Western Mediter
ranean today, with British and American fleets and air forces partici
pating.
It is expected that British naval and RAF forces will carry out exer
cises defending convoys against mass attacks by American jet planes.
Plans for the two-day maneuvers were discussed in Malta in January
by British-American naval chiefs.
The United States Has a Moral Obligation ..
... to send troops for the defense of Europe and must live up to
that obligation, Senator Wayne Morse (R. Ore.) said Sunday.
However, Morse said, Congress should have the say about “imple
menting” the North Atlantic Pact before sending “any large body of
manpower to Europe.”
"The Utmost of Folly" ..
. . was what Governor Thomas E. Dewey of New York called the
idea that the United States can be defended by air and sea power without
large ground forces.
He sharply opposed Congressional limitation on the number of
troops sent to Europe and said “isolationist” utterances were “a great
aid to Stalin.”
Thtir Water Supply Choked.
• • • to the vanishing point by a massive ice jam, the 12,000 residents
of the Susquehanna River town of Columbia, Pa., were forced to emer
gency measures Sunday to find water.
There were few baths for Columbians, few shaves, and few were able
to secure sufficient water to boil coffee.
It was likely that the condition might last indefinitely. The river
was frozen solid for eight miles, shore to shore, from Marietta to
Washington Boro. Columbia is midway between those two river points.
Pravda Accused Norway...
. . . Sunday of violating assurances given the Soviet government two
years ago—when Norway joined the Atlantic Pact—that Norway would
“not assist a policy with aggressive purposes’’.
An editorial in the Communist party organ said that a recent bill
introduced in the Norwegian Storting (parliament) on Norway's par
ticipation in a United European army makes it clear that Norway is
turning over her armed forces to United States command and permitting
Norwegian territory to be used for aggression against Russia.
"The American People Are Resolved...
. . . that neither Japan nor any other nation shall repeat such a
history of crime as Japan’s aggressive war in the Pacific, John Foster
Dulles said Sunday.
The U. S. state department envoy, who arrived in Manila from
Japan for further conferences on a Japanese peace treaty, said that a
peace settlement is sought that will make Japan “a bulwark against the
new tide of despQtism which threatens from the Asia mainland.”
In Moscow, the Soviet government paper Izvestia rapped Dulles’
work as being on an “illegal” treaty and “military alliance” with Japan.
Japanese Leaders Gave Overwhelming Support...
... to the generally favorable peace terms outlined for them by
special ambassador John Foster Dulles -during his visit in Tokyo.
Politipal and economic leaders of all factions exeept the leftists
strongly endorsed the Dulles program. A relatively lenient treaty may
be prepared, paralleled by a security arrangement guaranteeing Ameri
can protection of Japan, Dulles indicated.
How Many Combat-qualified Men...
. . . can be moved out into the U. S. field forces by giving their jobs
to “GI Janes” will be the object of a close survey which will soon be made,
Senator Lyndon Johnson (D.-Tex.) said Sunday.
The Senator told a reporter that this will be the next business of
his armed services subcommittee. That group, by a 7-1 vote, has just
passed along to the full committee a broad program for building up the
rlighting forces, including a draft of 18-yaar-olds. He indicated that he
expects the full committee to approve that bill, with its provision for
universal military service and training Tuesday.

Campus Interviews on Cigarette Tests
Number 13...THE OCELOT
“I don't mean
to be catty— .
but I hate
pussyfooting!”
— Our feline friend may not be from Missouri, but she sure m
likes to be shown! She saw right through those thin, quick-trick, cigarette
tests and realized you couldn’t fairly judge a cigarette’s mildness with a
mere one puff or a swift sniff. Right on the spot, she decided they weren’t
fur her! Sophisticated, but shrewd, she knew what she wanted.
The Sensible Test. . . the 30-Day Camel Mildness Test,
which simply asks you to try Camels as your steady
smoke—on a pack after pack, day after day basis.
No snap judgments needed. After you’ve enjoyed Camels—
and only Camels—for 30 days in your “T-Zone”
(T for Throat, T for Taste), we believe you’ll know why ...
Mere People Smoke Camels
than any other tigarette!
