Allied Troops Punched Out Small Gains..
. . .along the 150-mile North Korean battlefront Monday. Communist
resistance was bitter in some sectors, only spotty in others.
American and Turkish soldiers made the best gains. Allied infantry
and tanks were firmly entrenched in Yanggu, once a Red troop-mass
ing point on the central front. Another U. N. force held the high ground
northeast of Yanggu, seven miles inside Red Korea In the eastern tip
of the hugh Hwachon reservoir.
The Reds massed troops and supplies there early last week, apparent
ly in preparation for an expected counterthrust against the Allies.
On the west-central front, V. N. troops advanced against only light
resistance. They now have full control of the south bank of the Hwachor
reservoir.
Use of $29 Million of Government Funds...
.. .to enable Yugoslavia to obtain critically needed raw materials
for its armed forces has been authorized by President Truman, he
notified Congress Monday.
In a letter to the chairmen of the Senate and House foreign com
mittees, the President asserted:
"The thought which gave rise to the need for (emergency foodl
assistance. not only caused a shortage in the availability of food
for consumption in Yugoslavia, but also has made it impossible foi
Yugoslavia to export the agricultural products with which she normallj
obtains the resources to pay for imports of critically needed law mater
ials."
The Supreme Court Split...
. . .Monday in letting stand a lower court decision that a state legis
lative committee can compel a witness to say whether he was a Com
munist. The vote was six to three.
Burton James appealed from a one-month jail sentence and a $25C
fine given him for refusing to answer questions asked by a Washing
ton state fact-finding committee on un-American activities.
The high tribunal, however, rejected his appeal although earlier this
term it ruled that witnesses before Federal grand juries and administra
tive bodies may refuse to answer questions dealing with Communist
^activities on the grounds of possible self-incrimination.
The court's refusal to accept James' appeal gave no reasons but noted
that Justices Black, Heed and Douglas favored reviewing the case.
Cashiered Air Force General. . .
. . .Bennett E. Meyers was Monday sentenced to a year and a day
in prison and fined him $15,00p for evading $61,409 in Federul income
taxes.
The 55-year-old former Major-General pleaded guilty to charges
covered by two indictments — one referring to his income- of 1941, the
other from 1942 to 1946, inclusive.
Meyers was top purchasing agent for the Air Force in Washington
and at Wright-Patterson Field at Dayton, O., during World War II.
He was freed from a Federal reformatory Feb. 1 after serving almost
three years of the 20-months-to-five-year sentence he was given for
indusing an associate to lie to a Senate investigating committee.

Saturday in Wenatchee.
The representatives of 73 public utility organizations expressed op
position to the U. S. Bureau of Reclamation proposal for construction
of a 230,000-volt inter-tie between the Bonneville and Shasta Dam
systems.

federal, publicly-owned hydro-electric projects that would provide over
a million kilowatts of energy here."
The State Senate Refused...
. . .Monday to reconsider the defeated bill to have a paid Liquor Com
mission. And it unanimously sent to the house a measure to prevent
^ir pollution.
The bill to have a paid liquor commission was defeated two weeks
ago 21 to 9, with the upper house dividing on party lines.
The air pollution bill makes- it illegal to "discharge into the air any
solids, liquids or gases so as to cause injury to humans, plant or animal
life, or to property."

program, make studies, and encourage co-operation among the public.

ters and the committee members
purchased their own meals.”

committee represented a cross-sec

student leaders. “A smaller group
would not have been able to handle
the job,” he said.
