Allies Concentrate Gains Near Wonju Compiled by A1 Karr From the Wire* of Associated Fre»* * Allied force* flattened out the Red*' Wonju bulge In Central Korea \Vedne»day, but In the Went the Comm uniat* blocked two new Allied at tempt* to croaa the Han River. A driving, relentless rain turned the whole Korean battlefront into a huge mud puddle. I&d mortar fire "the hcavirHl and mo*t accurate I've ever *een," Haid one commander drove back an armored patrol to the south bank of the Han, seven mile* cant of Seoul. Five mile* downstream from Seoul, heavy resistance checked a South Korean patrol trying to cross the Han. American and British troops mopped up Red straggler* *outh of the river. The Chinese Reds Have Indicated Intention... . . . all along to Invade the I*land of Formosa and there is no sign that they have given up the plan. Vice Admiral Arthur D. Struble, whose XT. S. Seventh Fleet guard* Formosa, said Wednesday. Flying into Taipei for a four-day visit, Struble told newsmen that large-scale Communist operations against Formosa would depend to some extent on the weather. "During the present weather the threat ha* declined," he said. Struble pointed out that the W'hite House directive of June 27 called for the Seventh Fleet to protect Formosa from Communist invasion and prevent Formosa-based Chinese Nationalist operations against the Mankind. Rotation of American Troops in Korea... . . . I* "several months off, at least," General Mark W. Clark said Wed nesday. Clark, commander of U. S. field forces, denied making a statement at tributed to him that mass replacement of battle-weary forces in Korea by fresh troops from the U. S. would begin immediately. Boarding a plane for Tokyo after a four-day tour of the Korean battle front, Clark said. "A rotation plan is desirable and we would not want the burden of this war carried by the people already here. But before rotation on a large scale can begin, we must biuld up our forces in the Far East command." Belief That the Soviet Union Will Send... ... a prompt answt r to the latest Western notes and that the U.S.S.R. will agree to a meeting of deputies in Paris to discuss a Big Four con ference agenda was expressed Wednesday by Western diplomats station ed in Moscow. The topics listed in the notes of the United States, Britain, anti France are the same as those the Soviet Union wishes to discuss, these inform ants said tho causes of tension in Europe, levels of armaments and problems affecting Germany und Austria. While the preliminary talks suggested for March 5 may thus come to pass, the Soviet press gave no evidence of slackening its attacks on the United States and the United Nations. The Threat of American Long-Range.. . . . . Atomir Bombers will probably keep Russia from launching a gen eral war in the next two or three years, Lieutenant General Curtis LeMay told Congress Wednesday. But if Russia decides to strike, he said, bombers alone will not stop the Red armies from overrunning Europe. The three-star general, chief of the nation’s strategic long-range-air command, gave his testimony to the Senate Foreign Relations and Arm ed Services committees at a hearing on the troop-for-Europe issue. He joined a long parade of top military figures in testifying that Ameri can troops are needed to bolster Western Europe's defenses. 'We Are Gradually Approaching a Position'. . . ... in which a third world war can be prevented, President Truman said Wednesday. All the current attempts to build up men and material is merely an effort to prevent such a war, he told a group of Masonic leaders. He acWBTd, "We are gradually approaching a position in the world where that can be prevented, if we have the support and cooperation of all seg ments of the populations. 18-Year-Old Soldiers. .. . „ . don’t make the best fighters, a World War II officer who was wounded six times in European fighting said Wednesday. Advocating a universal military training program emphasizing a large and active reserve corps, the World War II officer said in a newsletter that he believed the Defense Department "has not made a case” for draft ing of 18-year-olds. The Army Will Call.. . . . . some additional National Guard and Organized Reserve units of company and battalion size to active duty, the army said Wednesday. Major General Maxwell D. Taylor, army planning and training chief, issued a statement Wednesday in which he said that "there arc no present plans to call up additional National Guard divisions,” but "we will call up Guard and Reserve units of less than divisional size as needed." A Bill to Repeal the $30 Per Child... . . . Basic School Fund Increase which was voted by the people last November is being introduced into the Oregon State legislature by Rep resentative Giles L. French, Moro, French said Wednesday. It is the second measure to reduce state school aid to districts. The other one, by Representative Sprague Carter, Pendleton, w-ould char. - the school census ages from 4-20 to G-17, thus taking away $8,000,000 a year of the basic school aid.

Campus Civil Defense Program Recalls World War II Systems By LaVaun Krueger Amount of student participation in actual defense work marks tin- greatest difference between the present Civil Defense I'ro gi am on the campu and the defense program organized after the outbreak of World W ar II.

Catholic Views Are Expressed The second in a five-talk series on the Catholic view of marriage will lie given at 7:15 tonight in ii07 Chapman. The Rev. Daniel Hurley will dis cuss the formalities which accom pany the marriage contract, es pecially the marriage of a Catholic and non-Catholic. He will explain the reasons why Catholics are opposed to mixed marriages and will also explain the reasons why so much red tape accompanies a mixed marriage. A "Question Box" will follow the formal talk, during which Father Hurley and Father Leo J. Linahen will answer questions that were placed in the box last time, as well as questions from the floor. In following lectures, the two Priests will discuss the attitude of the Catholic Church towards sex, the best age for marriage, and other problems which are especial ly important in times like these.

Headed during the last war bv Karl M. Pallett, chief air raid war den and coordinator of campus de fense, the council for civilian de fense, which was composed of stu dents as well as faculty members, formulated a plan which would make the University practically self-sufficient in case of attack. The present program is still in the planing stages, though huge steps have already been taken by S. W. Little, civil defense head, and his organization. During the last war the campus was divided into eight districts with the two faculty members act ing as assistant wardens. Special police, firemen, and first aid work ers were selected from the students and faculty and assigned to each district. A general headquarters and communications center was plan ned to be set up in one of the util ity tunnels. A signalling provision for instantaneous blackout of all utilities was set up and plans for the conversion of the steam tun nels running under the campus to air raid shelters were worked over by the committee. Present plans for the use of liv ing organizations on the campus as homes for evacuees, the use of the Student Union as a branch of Sac red Heart hospital, and organiza tion of a secretariate to handle statistics parallel many of the plans made during the last war. The introduction of atomic wea pons since the beginning of World War II has presented a problem to the present day defense com mittee unknown to any of its pre decessors. Buildings which offer protection from atomic radiation and have adequate space and facili ties must be found and made avail able. Definite action was taken by the Civil Defense commission early in 1942. For one thing, Gerlinger, then used for assemblies, was condemned as a fire trap and warn ings were also sent out to viola tors of blackout restrictions.
