Red Spring Drive Smashes U.N. Line Compiled by A1 Karr From the wire* of Associated Pro*;; I lie long expected ( liine.se Red -]»riioffensive mashed into the I nited Nations line across a wide front in Korea Sunday and pressed on. ( liine.se attacking from the Northwest drove over the Inijin Kiver on a 15mile front. A field dispatch reported they were heavily engaged with Allied forces at daybreak Monday in'Korea. ( hie sector of the Allied front was cracked in the first onslaught Sunday night. ho ld dispatches reported the gap -on the central front north " est of 11 wachon Ham appeared to he plugged by midnight. I think this i it,” commented a frontline intelligence officer. Mas ed infantry attacks followed. I he l X. ground commander, l,t. f'.en. James A. \ an Fleet, s.ud his forces were ready to meet whatever the Chinese could muster. AI t oi respondent John Randolph, on the wc lern front, re ported the Imjin River crossing was on a line north of Mtinsau to a point where the river curves north and northwest into Chi nese-held territory. There Is Some Risk of General War. . . . But I personally doubt that the rulers of Russia now want it," Special Ambassador John Foster Dulles told the Japanese Sunday. Instead, he said, the evidence is that the Kremlin is using the threat of war mainly as a weapon in its campaign of world conquest by indirect aggression. The United States will not abandon Asia, but intends to stand firmly against aggression in this part of the world, he told the United Nations Associations of Japan. I his determination is proved, he added, by a recent increase of Ameri can power in the Pacific and concrete steps to build up a multi-power security arrangement. Dulles is chief architect of the projected Japanese peace treaty and the foreign policy planner charged with fashioning a mutual defense alignment among Pacific nations. A New Battle in Congress... . . . over President Truman's plan to Rive the State Department and Secretary Achcson top controls over all foreign aiu programs was sig nalled in Congress Sunday by Senator Robert A. Taft (R.-Ohio). "I'm going to fight this plan," Taft, chairman of the Senate Republi can Policy Committee, told a reporter. "I don't think Congress will agree to It." Taft did not disclose his strategy but said the issue would be presented in due time to the policy grAup. I The actual battle probably will open when President Truman asks jOongress for an expected $11 billian for ail foreign aid. ^The Whereabouts of Robert A. Vogeler,... [ ... American businessman whose release from a Communist prison lifter 17 months hus been promised by the Hungarian government, rc fcnained a closely guarded secret Sunday. I U. S. legation officials in Kudapest said they knew no more Sunday Horning than they did Saturday when the Hungarian foreign ministry announced it was freeing Vogeler from his 15-year prison sentence on |hurges of spying in return for the granting of "various just Hungarian ‘Claims." I U. S. Minister Nathaniel P. Davis carefully avoided further comment |>ii the release negotiations, which he apparently had carried on with Hungarian officials alone. | "Any further details concerning the negotiations will have to come from the Hungarian government," Davis said. The Large Island of Hawaii... jfef- ■ • was shaken jit 2:53 p.m. Sunday (4 :53. p.m. PST I by a two-minute ■Erthquake described as "rather severe.” 5 No major damage or casualties were reported within two houi;s after the 'quake. Some windows were broken in downtown Hilo, Hawaii’s largest city. The U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey nt Barbers Point on Oahu—where Honolulu is situated reported the quake was "as heavy as any recorded from the big island." Residents in several sectors of Honolulu reported feeling a slight tre mor. A landslide in Halemaumau crater caused some observers to believe •the volcano was starting to erupt. Hawaii Island experiences periodic earthquakes. ^Barring an All-out Attack on Us'. . . . some price-wuge and other economic controls can be lifted by early 1953, Economic Stabilizer Eric Johnston said Sunday. Johnston warned, however, that "the full impact of our military spend ing has not yet hit us,” and he said "the danger of inflation will be with Us as long as the threat of Communistic aggression is with us.” The stabilization chief was interviewed on a Gannett News Service recorded broadcast. By early 1953, he said, “we should have provided our armed forces the bulk of their defense needs, and we should have built up a production machine capable of turning out sufficient consumer goods to meet civi lian demands.” Western Oregon's Prolonged Dry Spell... ... is expected to continue today and the weather bureau said fire danger would remain high as a result. j. Today will be the 24th straight day without rain in Eugene, the wea ther bureau said, surpassing a previous April drought of 20 rainless days in 1934. Although still hazardous, fire conditions arc expected to be somewhat Improved today with diminishing wind velocities and slightly rising hu midities. The forecast is for continued high cloudiness in Western Oregon With temperatures generally five degrees higher today. Carey Asks ; Board to Fire Committee A recommendation by the chair man of the Student Union Inter view and Referral committee that hia organization be done away wllh was rejected in a meeting of the SU Board laat week. Bill Carey, who haa headed the committee ainee ita formation laat spring, brought the proposal be fore the board on grounds that ] such a committee was not neces sary under present condition*. He told board members that the ! fnnetiona of hia eommittee could I lie eaaily handled by individual1 Directorate members. (The Direc-I torate ja composed of chairmen of each of the SU atanding commit- ! tees.) Carey pointed out that inter viewing for eommittee members, the primary function of the I and1 R group, could he carried out by i the eommittee- heads in the- few instances where interviewing is necessary. He also stated that the efficiency reports of committee members that are kept on file in the SU were seldom referred to by the Directorate when they need-' cd new members. Board Chairman Hank Panian, in expressing the reasons for turn ing down the proposal, said that stich a eommittee, even though not of primary importance now, should he maintained with an eye to the : future when interest in SU acti vities would build up among stu- j dents. He also said that membership appointments by individual chair men could lead to favoritism’s be ing shown unless there was a com mittee to act as a check. Maintaining efficiency report cards, Panian said, is necessary if committee members arc to get credit for work they contribute. They also provide a reference for honorarics to consult in their quest for new members. UO Blood Drive May Be Biggest Of Colleges The blood drive which begins i Tuesday can very well result in! national publicity for the Univer-i sity of Oregon. If the quota of 1,000 pints is j reached at Oregon, it will be the i largest amount of blood drawn | from one college in the United States, Gerry Pearson, blood drive co-chairman, stated. "We arc hopeful that Oregon State will nbt have an opportunity to gain! this distinction. In order to keep them from it we must reach our quota," Miss Pearson continued. For those students who gave blood in the last drive Jan. 22, the! Red Cross has announced that it is perfectly safe to give again. The usual waiting time is 60 days. How ever, anyone who has had jaundice, tuberculosis, undulant fever, or any major surgery in the past year, should not give blood. Students who have not received a pledge card and who would like to give blood may pick them up at the booth in the Co-op. The committee has asked that students turn in pledge cards by tonight. They may be put in boxes in the Co-op and Student Union, or given to Gerry Pearson, Kappa Alpha Theta, or Roger Nudd, Sigma Al pha Epsilon. Cards recently mailed giving donors their blood type should be brought to the Student Union by those giving blood. There will also be appointment cards mailed to students.
