U.N. Armies Stop Red Offensive Compiled by Larry Hobart From tlin wires of Awoclated Prws Tin* Red spring of'lensi ve lias been stopped by a “great victory In the I ,’nitcd Nations,” Lt. (ien. James A. Van Fleet said Wed nesday but a new Communist assault is in the making. 'I'lie Allied ground commander jubilantly announced “the ene my has failed.” The Reds lost, too, in their battle to control the rivers which mn t be crossed in the next phase of their spring offensive. American naval planes dropped aerial torpedoes to tear gap ing holes in the floodgate- of Hwachon reservoir and sent water rushing back into the I’nkhan and llan Rivers. 'I he Reds had clued the gates in an effort to lower these great natural water barriers for an easy crossing. “We have punished the Communist forced severely,” Van Fleet said. The enemy has failed in the first phase of his offen sive. He lias paid a heavy price (more than /5.000 casualties in nine days.) # \ an Fleet made it clear he didn’t consider this the end of the Keel offensive. Secretary of State Acheson... ...defended the administration's pre-war Korean policies today while controversy boded at the capital over secrecy arrangements for hoar ^ lngs on Gen. Douglas MucArthur's dismissal. Acheson told a news conference the Truman administration had carried out all recommendations in the Wedomeyer report as to Korea except the proposal for creation of a South Korean scout force led by American officers. The Senate committees released the Wedemeyer report Tuesday. It was a document of findings and recommendations from Lt. Gen. Al bert C. Wedemeyer who made a survey of China and Korea at the request of President Truman in the summer of 1947. The report, dated Sept. 9, 1947, warned against the possibility of a “Soviet-inspired ' North Korean invasion of South Korea. He advised against removal of U. S. occupation troops from South Korea until the Russians took their troops from North Korea, recommended arms aid to South Korea, and proposed the South Korean Scout force with American officers. The Senate Armed Services... ...and Foreign Relations Committee have decided they won’t let any other Congress members sit in today on their closed door question ing of Gen. Douglas MacArthur about his differences with President Truman. Even before it became known. House Republican leader Martin (Mass.), protesting against closed door hearings by the Senate com mittees, demanded that similar House groups conduct a public airing of the matter. The armed services committee, with 13 members, and the foreign relations committee, with 12, are to question MacArthur today as the first witness in a general inquiry into Far Eastern policy. The Republicans forced a brief adjournment of the Senate late Wed nesday in a move aimed at opening to the public the inquiry. Heavy Fighting Raged... . . .Wednesday between Israeli and Syrian troops near the disputed frontier area north of the Sea of Galilee, Israeli officials announced. The officials said "armed Syrian irregulars and units of the regular Syrian army" crossed the frontier into Israel in the neutral zone near the much disputed Hlileh swamp section on the upper Jordan River just west of the Syrian border. Israeli forces engaged them. The new outbreak was the first in more than a week. United Na tions observers trying to enter the area were forced back because of heavy fire. The Czechoslovak Government... .. .Wednesday refused to allow U. S. vice councul Richard Johnson in Prague to visit William N. Oatis, imprisoned Associated Press Bureau chief, "for the time being." The Czech foreign ministry said in a reply to a U. S. Embassy re quest, that Czech law forbade such a visit at this stage of the case. Embassy officials in Prague said there was an old Czech law dat ing back to the country’s incorporation in the Austro-Hungarian em pire which forbids communications with a prisoner while he is under pre-trial police questioning. Nationalizing of Iran's Oil... .. .became official Wednesday as the government radio announced that the Shah had signed the bill. The two houses of Iran’s parliament probably will select five mem bers each for a joint board to take over the Anglo-Iranian Oil Com pany later in the week. The signature of the Shah is a final step in the seizure of the British controlled company. The U. S. Ambassador Henry F. Grady saw the new Premier, Mohammed Mossadegh, for an hour Wednesday and urged him against any arbitrary action in dispossessing the British company. Dope Peddling, Organized Prostitution. .. .. .and “fixes” of basketball games and other sports events shaped up today as possible fields for new investigations by the Senate Crime Committee. With Senator O'Connor ID-MDI taking over from Senator Kefauver (D-Tenn) as chairman, the group discussed these lines of inquiry at a closed door session yesterday but made no final decision. * U. N. Policy in Korea... .. .is “clear, positive and consistent” Warren R. Austin, chief U. S. delegate to the United Nations, declared Tuesday night. This was Austin’s reply to a charge by Gen. MacArthur that a policy vacuum exists in Korea. Austin stated that victory in Korea involves much more than military defeat of the enemy and that the U. N. has scored some important triumphs in the 10 months of war in Asia. i Rossman Speaks! To University Religious Council The scheduled University Reli gious Council-sponsored box lunch1 picnic, set for Sunday, was can celled by a unanimous vote of the group at its noon meeting Monday in Westminster House. Members felt that there was not sufficient student interest in the picnic, that the campus calen dar was too full, and that the pro ject would not bring in enough money to make up the deficit in curred by the group for winter term's Religious Emphasis Week. Channing Club, Unitarian col lege group, was welcomed into the Council. Members from the new organization on the Council ir. clude Alice Smith and Wallington Smith. New Policy Set The group voted to select three student body members-at-large for: membership on the Council. "This plan will give recognition; and voice to the student religious workers on campus who are not; actively affiliated with any Uni versity religious group," stated1 Council President Mary Alice, ; Baker. Parker Rossman, student work j executive for Disciples of Christ,; spoke informally to the group con ! cemlng the duties and opportuni ties open to the religious capapus' group. "First, there should be good pub-1 lie relations between the college1 administration and the campus; religious groups, Rossman stated. “Too often, there is an air of in difference." The former associate general secretary of the United Student j Christian Council discussed the: psychology behind campus religious emphasis weeks. Rossman felt that in many instances the real, purpose of the week was forgotten, that the religious importance of the week became buried under all Ihe fanfare and formality of the period. Rossman emphasized the role of religion in higher education. "Re ligion is a whole view of life," the executive said. "It is not part of a learning cafeteria line where the student chooses geography for one course and literature for another.” i The youth worker stressed the importance of publicity in any reli gious campaign. “Often times a religious plan of great significance! and practical value fails through lack of proper promotion.” Religious relief work was elabor ated upon by Rossman. “Religion is a real source of help in areas of pessimism,” the social worker stated. "Campus religious groups should not forget the religious problems ‘ in their own backyard,” stated Mr. Rossman. "Religious-minded stu dents should have a campus 'con science' that effectively opposes situations arising from discrimin ation to minority groups or econo mic troubles. "Fundamentally, the campus re ligious groups should be active and a body of ‘doers’,” Rossman concluded. “It is foolish to pass resolutions and make recommenda tions if campus problems remain unsolved and are not in the process of being improved.” The next meeting of the Council will be during lunch hour May 14 in Westminster House. Ellickson Addresses Physics Meet R. T.
