Says Back Broken Of Red Offensive Compiled by A1 Karr From (hn-wlrm of AinoclatMi Fresit Maj. (ien. Clark E. Ruffne»l said lii> U. S. Second Division lia^ l>roken the hack of tire Coiiiimniist offensive on the east-central front. Ilowever, powerful Red forces were reported massing for a new assault on this unyielding hump in the United Nations line. They continued probing Tuesday, Init shifted their heaviest efforts to a penetration southeast of the second division. Com munists also resisted stubbornly immediately to the southwest of the division. Both were deep penetrations. Elsewhere the Reds pulled back. The Second smashed probing attacks through the night and early morning, underscoring RufTner's words : "'I lie boys have stopped them cold. The Red units in front of ti now are no longer capable of launching a potent attack.” Ilowever. ( S. Eighth Army briefing officers said the Reds have massed an estimated 130.000 troops on that front for a pos sible new strike. AI’ Correspondent William C. Barnard report ed more Chinese were streaming south across 38. U.S. Military High Command Hopes ... ... A Korean peace cun be negotiated it United Nations troops “bump off the present Communist offensive, Gen. Omar Bradley said Tuesday. Hi- also said it is not the objective of United Nations forces to drive fpe Chinese Reds and North Koreans all of the way out of Korea. He said this is the objective: “We arc trying to inflict maximum casualties with a minimum to our selves. so thnt we can get some kind of a negotiation.” Testifying at Senate hearings, Bradley said military men had hoped In March that some peace move could be made. He added: “We still hope that we will be in a position to again propose something through the United Nations which would end up in negotiations and ces sation of hostilities." The United States Prohibited Exports ... ... of strategic materials to Western German business firms or indi viduals engaging in Illegal trade with Russia or ita satellites Tuesday. The action, which Is an attempt to break up such trade, was on a rec commendation from U. S. High Commissioner John J. McCloy. McCloy’s experts ut Frankfurt, Germany, had said the prohibition would be useful in stopping leakage of vital goods to the Red bloc because of''the large volume of much-needed exports from the U. S. to West Germany." Meanwhile Congress has completed action on a money bill which would also deny American economic aid to any nation which sends war goods to Russia or other countries in the soviet bloc. The rider on economic aid, attached in the senate and accepted by the house, would apply for the duration of the Korean war. Countries re ceiving American economic aid would be required to certify they are not sending any military goods to any nation in the Russian orbit. Supporters of Nationalist Premier. . . . . F. Mohammed Mossadegh clashed Tuesday with demonstrators at a Communist backed Railway Union rally called to denounce Mossa degh's government. Fists flew in Parliament Square as the angry Unionists attacked a small group who invaded the area shouting “long live Mossadegh!” The cry of “Death to Mossadegh!" went up from the ranks of the Un ion, which is regarded as controlled by the underground communists. The aged, ailing Premier, swept into office three weeks ago by the popular clamor for nationalization of the British-owned Anglo-Iranian Oil Company, may have heard the denunciation of his government. He is barricaded behind locked doors and boarded windows in an improvised office in the rear of the parliament building, claiming throats have been made against his life. The demonstration was the first public attack on Mossadegh, and pointed up communist opposition to the nationalist Premier, who is just aM^Mcnt, apparently, as the Communists, to driv- Britons and Americans oigfof his country. He is behind the nationalization move. Britain Will Not Use Force .. . . . . under nny circumstances in the Anglo-Ii'anian Oil Company dis pute with Iran, unless there has been consultation lirst with the United States, an informed source Tuesday said Britain has told Washington. Another qualified source said Britain would not use force in any case except as ns last resort, and then only in British subjects and British property in Iran were attacked first. Controlling inteiest in the Anglo Iranian Oil Company, which Iran is nationalizing, is owned by the British government. Six Allied Air Forces Begin ... . . . their biggest postwar exercise today to test their possibilities for defense of western Europe from air attack. The test is dubbed ‘'exer cise Umbrella.” Fighter planes, most of them jets, will rise from 11 airfields in the three-day air war games, to intercept bombers making mock raids. Brit ish Air Vice Marshal W. A. B. Brook, Central Sector Air Forces Chief of Staff in Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower's Atlantic army, said about 500 aircraft woidd participate. Planes of the U. S., British, French, Belgian, Dutch, and Danish air forces will take part. The Worst Flood Since 1907... . . . swept into Hays, Kans., Tuesday and three persons were known to have drowned. Several others were reported missing. A gas explosion and 7,000 gallons of floating gasoline added to the danger. Waters from a cloudburst between Hays and nearby Ellis, plus the overflow from Big Creek, poured into the south end of this northwestern KMmAs town of 8,000 population. The water was 15 to 20 feet deep in the southeast and southwest sections and about 3,000 to 4,000 persons were flooded out of their homes. Many were trapped on t he roof and second floor of their homes. Highways on three sides of the city 275 miles west of Kansas City, were under water, and a foot of water covered the Kansas to Denver Union Pacific Railroad tracks. There was a foot of water in the U. P. depot. More Comment (Continued from paye ttvo) policy is not only impossible but also reprehensible. We should Judge groups and individuals not by how many enemies they have but by whom their enemies are. No organization can seek the ap proval of the NAACP and the KKK at the same time. Our correspondent is incapable of drawing a distinction between what is and what ought to be, which in effect brings him to the conclusion that the existing state of things is completely satisfac tory. By his explicit condemna tion of the Negro student for dar ing to violate the mores of this society our correspondent gives tacit approval to the mores in volved . .. When enough people refuse to be bound by corrupt and undemo cratic mores then those mores will pass out of existence and "our imperfect society” will be a little less imperfect. Let us not condemn those who are bold enough to take the lead. John Simmons • • * Emerald Editor: . . . Someone forgot to create a j conscience for organizations and i it’s the individual’s responsibility to provide one. Granted, this is idealism but I let’s keep in mind our ultimate ! goal when we are confronted with present social pressures in order that an easy way out to | day may not mean the postpone ■ ment of real equality of individu | als in the future. Robert A. Bundy Kmerald Editor: ... I w'onder if the author of that letter has stopped to realize that the "unrealijgic ravings,” as he called them, were the result i of looking at the Greek-racial problem and condemnation of it? i Is it Utopianism to campaign for i social progress? I am ready, willing, and able— : at any time—to defend my views; I am proud, not ashamed, of my ! views and for that reason my name appears at the bottom of i this letter. Duane Hogue Emerald Editor: . . . the importance of a demo- j cratic society is not necessarily 1 based on the narrow-minded con ception of what one's own family thinks of him, but rather, what other groups and societies with different “mores” think. Twelve thousand young men lie six feet under the earth in a lit tle island peninsula in the Pacific because certain reactionaries in this state and the other 47 have failed to realize that democracy is a universal ideal and cannot be located, twisted around, and per verted for the special privileged few who live in a big house on Alder Street with a “white” fence around it. Morris G. Sahr Four Movies Billed “Birthday of a Prophecy,” “Song of the Negro," “Desert House," and "Assignment: Tel Aviv” are the four movies included in the edu cational film bill to be presented at 7 and 9 p.m. today in 207 Chapman. “Birthday of a Prophecy" des cribes how Palestine became a national country after 50 years of work and toil by Zionist Jews throughout the world. The troubles of building a house in the desert region near the Dead i Sea are told in “Desert House." “Assignment: Tel Aviv” records the adventures of an American correspondent who visited Tel Aviv and brough back information about family life in the all-Jewish city. Jehoshua Gwirtzman, who for merly lived in Palestine, and is now doing graduate work in the School of Architecture and Allied Arts will give an introductory talk and answer any questions about the films. There is no admission charge.
