The surprise motion for a tribute to MacArthur wus made by Senator
'Warren Gill (ft., Lebanon). The motion itself dealt only with honor
ing MacArthur, and made no mention of President Truman.
In Washington, D. C., The Daughters of the American Revolution
gave the General a vote of confidence Tuesday. The DAK president
said she was placing telephone calls to Han Francisco, hoping to catch
the general there and invite him to address the national DAK con
tention later this week.
A Joint Congressional Committee to Investigate...
t . .far-eastern policy of the United States was proposed Tuesday by
. "Senate Republicans. The Democrats objected strenuously, saying that
he Senate Armed Services and Foreign Relations Committees were
ilready moving jointly to make such an inquiry.
nThe First Troops to Leave Korea...
.. .under the Army's rotation plan took off from Taegu, Korea, Tues
day. They will return to the United States to become instructors.
Two northwesterners were aboard the plaue: Maj. Thomas Metcalf,
I'or Hand; and Sgt. Morton Dqyc, Port Townsend, Wash.
Allied Troops in Korea Meanwhile...
. . .pushed forward in the battle for the Hwachon Dam, on the east
„ central front.
New censorship regulations, issued by Lt Gen. Matthew Ridgway,
t#iew U. N. commander in Korea, banned all references to the exact
^ size and location of Chinese and Red Korean units said to be massed
in the hills north of the dam.
The Reds set up a smoke screen in an effort to conceal their move
(, ments from aircraft. But the screen began to lift late Tuesday after
noon, and the U. N. warplanes went back to work.
r A Resolution to Declare War on China...
a
. . .will be Introduced by Senator Harry Cain (R., Wash.) in Congress
shortly. His Republican friends in the uppcrhou.se have been counsel
ing him against it.
But he said Tuesday that he had the resolution drafted — and a
ipeech written and that he would introduce it soon.
Russia Has Completed Another Five-year Plan...
e ...nine months ahead of schedule or so she says. She boasts that
t she has topped her prewar production by 73 per cent, and now ranks
second only to the United States in production.
- Great gains were made in the most important parts of the plan, said
Moscow Radio, but shortcomings in other fields were admitted.
"There was not and there is not now any unemployment in the
kovlet Union," the broadcast added. There were over 39 million workers
employed at the end of 1930, claimed the Russians.
Bw Monday night's announcement by Moscow didn't include any
figures on non-ferrous non-iron metals. This may be significant,
Finer reports have reached the west that Russia is suffering from a
hortage of nickel, copper, anti cobalt.
A British Submarine Vanished Tuesday. ..
. . .in the English Channel with 75 officers and men aboard. The ship
has not been heard from since taking a practice dive in the waters off
the English coast.
There was some hope that the commander was operating under
water, and that the ship was not sunk. British Admiralty officials,
however, placed little hope in this.
The U. S. Navy offered two destroyers to help hunt for the submarine;
the search was still continuing Tuesday night.
'Every Communist Teacher in Oregon. . .
. . .should be hung by his thumbs or heels from the statue of the
pioneer on the capitol," Senator Warren Gill (R., Lebanon) told the
Senate Education Committee Tuesday.
He is the sponsor of a bill to make school teachers sign non Com
munist affadavits. The bill would then allow school boards to decide
whether or not to fire those who do not sign or who sign false state
ments.
Gov. Douglas McKay Will Not Seek to Fire...
. . .the State Liquor Commission Administrator William W. Ha a
tnond. The governor said he had no intention of asking the commission
lo dismiss Hammond, a move recommended by the Multnomah Grand
Jury after an investigation into Oregon’s liquor control setup.
“There have been no indictments, nor charges of corruption or dis
honesty, after this tremendous job (the grand jury's investigation)
was TJompleted," McKay said.
But he agreed that strict law enforcement is needed, and said that
an effort is being made to better conditions,
“But with only a4sniall force in the employ of the commission,. ..
any lack of rigid enforcement cannot be placed entirely on the door
step of the commission,” he added.
