... of war good* to Communist China was voted by the U. N. Sanctions

first step toward imposition of the worldwide embargo.
Countries voting for the proposed embargo were: the United States,

vote that adoption of the resolution would demonstrate U. N. unity and
make it clear the U. N. intends to meet and repel aggression in Korea.

. . . and the S. S. Thomas Tracy, a collier, collided and caught fire
shortly before 9 A. M. (PDT i Monday five miles east of Cape Henry, Va.
One man was known dead on the Valcour, a naval spokesman said.
Shortly after 12 p.m., the navy cargo ship Thuban docked at Norfolk
with six stretcher cases and 115 walking survivors aboard. The Thuban
docked 15 minutes after the Thomas Tracy came slowly into Hampton
Roads harbor. Observers saw no traces of fire or smoke.
The fire on the Valcour was completely extinguished by 10:45 p.m .
according to navy spokesmen. An hour later, salvage vessels were trying
to bring the ship into port.
Th.- Valcour had a 10-foot gash below' the water line In her starboard
quarter. She was struck there by the Thomas Tracy.
Adoption of Gen, Douglas MacArthur's ...
Korean war proposals would seriously affect Gen Dwight D. Kisen
hower's European defense plans, was the fear expressed by Secretary of
Defense George C. Marshall Monday.
Winding up seven days of testimony on MacArthur's ouster Marshall
also said:
He believes Elsenhower supports President Truman’s limited Korean
war program.
Administration military leaders including Gen. Matthew B. Ridge
way in his understanding present a solid front in support of the Presi
dent's plan and in opposition to MacArthur proposals for blockade of
China, bombing of Manchurian buses and use of Chinese Nationalist
troops.
MacArthur testified 10 days ago that it was his understanding that
Ridgway, his successor in the far eastern commands, had similar views
to his on how the Korean war should be conducted. He said he thought
other military leaders there also agreed with him.
'^Britain Told Its Trouble-Shootinn ...
. . . 16th Independent Parachute Brigade group Monday to bring itself
at once to a state of readiness.
Simultaneously Foreign Secretary Herbert Morrison interrupting
his Whitsun holiday on the isle of Wight kept in touch with the for
eign office by phone on the latest develojpments in Iran.
There was speculation that the two events were Connected, and that
Britain was ready to make a strong stand, if necessary, to hold its rich
oil concession in Tran.
But this speculation was without official confirmation. A War Office
spokesman stressed that the parachute brigade was not under sailing
oiders. He described the alerting order as routine war office business.
The unit now is assembling itself at Aldershott, 35 miles from London.
It is known as the “fire brigade," because it is geared for emergencies.
The Congressional Check-up ...
... of administration economic controls switched Monday to Presi
dent Truman's new Wage Board, which Senator Robert A. Taft (R-Ohio)
says he doesn’t like at all.
The Wage Board set-up was recommended by labor, and endorsed by
Truman’s Farm and Public Mobilization advisers, but bitterly opposed
by his industry advisers.
Labor agreed to go along with the mobilization program—after its
walkout in January only if the Wage Board was given authority to rec
commend settlement terms in defense industry labor disputes. It vas
designed originally simply to fix limits for wage increases under Pie
government stabilization program.
A New Strategy for House Republicans . . .
. . . seeking to force Dean Acheson out of office as Secretary of State
vyis proposed by Rep. Phillips (R.-Calif. I Monday.
,'i Such a campaign has been under discussion in House cloakrooms for
several weeks, and administration leaders have conceded privately thdy
are not at all sure they can stop it.
Phillips, a member of the Appropriations Committee, has drafted an
amendment which would strike Acheson from the state department pay
roll without mentioning him by name. Attempts to eliminate individu
als by name have been blocked in the past by court rulings.
