WASHINGTON, Dec. 7fi-JPh
The army said tonight it is with
drawing a "portion" of its troop
strength from Korea, and there
were indications the force might
be reduced by as much as half.1
It announced plans for a "gen
eral regrouping of U. S. army
forces serving under General
MacArthur," including the trans
fer of the seventh Infantry divi
sion from Korea to Japan,
The "current reduction and re
grouping of -forces in Korea of
which the United States and
Russia each occupy half, was
made possible by several factors,
the announcement said, includ
ing: !.
Establishment in the U. S.
zone of a government for the Re
public of Korea; its assumption
of responsibilities; . the United
Nations declaration on December
12 that the government "is the
only -lawful one in Korea"; the

Dear mother of fresh thoughts and

Thus the poet Wordsworth in
bis ode "To Sleep." It -was the in
somnia he describes which drove
Sumner Welles, distinguished
American publicist and former
undersecretary of state, out for a
midnight walk that nearly ended
fatally when he fell in the field
from a heart attack.
What about insomnia? Is it a
growing complaint? Are people
mora prone to lie awake now than
in former generations? Is it an
"occupational disease", of the men
tal worker?
For all our advance in medical
science and in psychology we seem
to know little about sleep and in
somnia. Sleep Is, of course, a per
fectly natural period of rest. But
some people find that sleep evades
them, and they become chronic
sufferers from insomnia. They
count sheep fruitlessly and use all
the other devices others suggest to
Induce repose, without success.
In growing use are sleeping
tablets- Used under a doctors ad
vice they are harmless. The drugs
themselves may not be habit
forming, but the practice may be
come so. Increasingly in the news
is the phrase "overdose of sleeping
tablets" which may cause death
or serious illness. The safer rule
is to avoid an use of sleep-indue
ing pills except on prescription.
But don't walk abroad on a cold
night
Welles has been one of the ablest

Yuso, in southern Korea. 1
There was no announcement at
this time of the total U. SJt army
strength in Korea. However,
about 30,000 troops were! there
last May. I
If the Seventh division is at
full strength, about 15,000, this
would mean that half of the to
tal strength would be moved out
of Korea. i r
The army statement said "the
scheduled changes when ! com
pleted will be in consonance with
a United Nations1 resolution call
ing for occupying troops of the
United States and of Soviet Rus
sia to be withdrawn from! Korea
as early as practicable."!
Russian occupation forces sta
tioned in northern Korea have
been withdrawing. The Russians
said in September all Soviet
troops would be out by Jan. 1,
I since December 9. The other five
joined them later in a series of
unsuccessful rescue attempts.
By latest reports, ail the men
were in good health despite sub
freezing temperatures j of 40 . be
low and winds up to 100 m.p.h.
Air force headquarters here said
the rescuing ; C-47, flown to the
scene from its greenland base 270
miles away, landed oh the snow
at 9:30 ajn., loaded the happy
men on board, and took off at
1008 ajn. i I
Tonight the men were resting
in snug officers club quarters at
Bluie West Eight base in south
west Greenland. The air force
said no further; details were ex
pected tonight. ! f j
At least three previous "air
snatch" attempts, with gliders and
a B-17 Flying Fortress, had fail
ed. Today's successful! exploit
came as the navy's aircraft car
rier USS Saipan, with five heli
copters aboard,! sped through the
storm-swept north Atlantic toward
Greenland. ; :
The Saipa which left! Norfolk.
Va on Christmas day, was still
about 1,000 miles from lis goal.
Air officials credited the rescue
to a young air force pilot who
only a year ago was the hero in
another "top-of-the-worid" res
cue exploit in Labrador wilder
ness. : !
He is Lt. CoL Emil J. Beaudry.

1948 Best Year for Mt. Angel
Co-Op Creamery, Manager Says
MT. ANGEL; Dec. 528 i More
than 1,400 were served at the an
nual Mt Angel Cooperative
creamery patrons' dinner here
Tuesday noon. Business men of
Mt Angel prepared and served
the noon meal in the dining roon
of St. Mary's hall.
The creamery had its best year
in 1948 when $125,000 in retained
dividends was accumulated, Frank
Hettwer, manager of the cream
ery, announced These dividends
will be distributed among the
members following thei annual
meeting, January 31. :
Improvements in the co-operative
plant during 1948 have in
cluded .the cheese aging plant
which cures half a million pounds
of cheese at a time and a new
milk receiving plant, Hettwer said.
Actual number of dairy cows in
Oregon has decreased while the
state's population is increasing,
George Fullenwider, Carlton,
chairman of ; the Oregon Dairy
Producers commission; said in a
talk following the dinner.
After July
j The legislature, through proper
enactment, has authority to make
available for the general fund for
governmental expenses proceeds
of both the corporate excise tax
revenues and state income taxes
received after July 1, 1949, attor
ney general George Neuner ruled
Tuesday.
I The opinion was asked by State
Budget director George Aiken.
j Neuner said all the legislature
has to do to channel these future
revenues to the general fund is to
amend the personal and corporate
excise tax laws. He made it plain, I
however, that his opinion applies
only to income tax receipts re
ceived after July 1 since the state
supreme court has ruled that cur
rent income tax revenues can be
used only for reduction of proper'
ty taxes.
1 State tax commissioners said
corporate excise tax revenues are
being received at the rate of ap
proximately s 18,000,000 a year
while $45,000,000 of personal in
come taxes will have accumulated
by the end of the current bien-
nium.
"It is our opinion," Neuner said,
"that an amendment to the per
anal Income tax act by which fu
ture revenues collected under lt
can be used for the liquidation of
the state deficit would be germane
to the original title of the act and
therefore valid."

Ex-School Teacher -
Mrs. Nichols, a former Wiscon

Nations security council today gave
The Netherlands 24 hours in which
to release captured Indonesian re
publican leaders.
The resolution did not say what
would happen if the deadline is not
met
Britain, angling for American
support, also submitted a resolu
tion demanding an Immediate
cease-fire in southern Palestine
and withdrawal of Israel's armed
forces from the Negev desert bat
tleground. The council ordered the release
of captured Indonesian leaders
over the protest of Dutch delegate
Jan Herman Van Roy an that he
could read a "note of censure" in
the the resolution sponsored by
China.
The council adso adopted a Co
lombian resolution calling on a
committee of foreign consuls in Ba-
tavia, Java, to supervise and re
port on compliance with the coun
cil's Christmas eve cease-fire or

Van Royen told the council yes

Dutch to free the captive Indone
sian President Soekarno, Premier
Mohamed Hatta and other ton
leaders "forthwith." The delegates
agreed this meant 24 hours.
Deliveries of
Sawdust Halt
As Mills Close
Deliveries of sawdust fuel in the
Salem area had almost ceased to
day as a result of the shutdown of
most sawmills in the mid-valley.
The situation was expected to last
at least a week and possibly a
month or more, but one dealer had
a hint for burning of wet sawdust
The shutdown came recently be
cause of weather conditions, the
annual repair perior and the slack
lumber market. Many ponds were
frozen in last week s cold spelL re
suiting in considerable icing of the
logs.
Most dealers said they deliver
only fresh sawdust, so when the
mills close they also halt, because
stockpiles of the fuel are wet and
usually considered unsatisfactory
xor Durning.
However .addition of slack coal
to wet sawdust was said to be one
answer to the problem. One deal
er said two or three glllons of
slack coal mixed in each hopperful
of sawdust would make it burn to
provide all the heat desired.

fee of $9 to $10 a year for these

highway funds but felt the regis

Board Told
X. Gangware
The SUtosmaa
would provide two regular, paid
religious teachers to offer a stand
ard i interdenominational lnstruc
tion course as approved by the as
soclation to pupils of the Ird, 4th,
Ith and 6th grades whose parents
request such instruction for them.
Each pupil would attend one 45
mlnute class period a week for the
religious instruction to be given
at a church or house within two
blocks of his school. Instruction
would be by school grade groups,
at periods staggered through the
school day so that the two teach
ers could cover all nine elemen
tary school areas within city limits.
Religious classes have been
banned inside public schools this
year on the basis of an uregon at
torney general s ruling which fol
lowed a U. S. supremo court dec!
sion in sn Illinois case of similar
nature. But It has been ruled In
Oregon that religious classes may
be held outside school property
on "released time" from the school
day.
Ministers Questioned
The Rev. L. G. Uecker, pastor of
Englewood Evangelical United
Brethren church and weekday
education chairman for the nun
isterial group, presented the plan
to the school board for considers
tion. The board took no action but
Questioned at some length both
Uecker and the Rev. Walter .Fred
ericks at the meeting last night in
the public school office building.
Chairman Donald A. Young of
the school board told the church
spokesman that he personally
considered that each church should
be responsible for its own youth
education rather than infringe up
on school time. He asserted that
the Increasing requests for use of
school time for various purposes
In recent years has left a bare
minimum of time for regular in
struction. .
Te Consider Proposal
But Young assured the ministers
the board would consider their
proposal. Other board members
and Superintendent Frank B. Ben
nett indicated from their questions
that several matters would have to
be worked) out with the ministers'
association before any religious
class program could be developed.
Some of the questions were:
What would be done with pupils
not electing to study religion while
their classmates were dismissed?
Can the school district approve a
program embracing the nine
schools inside city limits but ex
cluding ! six suburban schools of
the district? Who would be liable
in case of accident to pupils dur
ing the religious class period?
