These calls are not for a single

Inductees are scheduled lor 21

national guardsmen are told to ex

of service would be extended.
. This is a new experience for
Americans. Heretofore our wars
have been one-round affairs. Able-

drafted and fought to the war's
end, then the vast majority of them
returned to civil life, their military
chore wound up. Through the de
cades we have maintained just a
small standing army, Now we
must look forward for an indefinite
time to staying on a war footing.
We shall have a large standing
army and a large part of it will be
stationed overseas. We shall have
a much larger navy and marine
force. They will all be on a war
footing. Preparedness in other
words becomes a real part of our
policy, not something to be talked

TOKYO, Thursday, Sept 21-(iP)
-U. S. marines inside Seoul drove
toward the heart of the city today
- - ahead of red soldiers and tanks
bearing down from north ' and
south, to join the battle. '
; The leathernecks entered the
capital city of 1,000,000 from the
northwest last night Another ma
rine spearhead seized Seoul's air
field just across the Han river
from the city's west side. -
But a battle for the city ap
peared shaping up.
The U. S. 10th corps said a red
200-truck convoy with 40 tanks
had sped out of the Chinese com
munist border city of Antung in
Manchuria. , .
Air pilots first spotted the col
umn 20 miles south of Antung. It
was reported this morning as pro
bably below the 38th parallel
within 30 air miles of Seoul. Its
nationality was not known. t
Columns Race North
Other red columns raced north
from the old southeast Korean
beachhead, weakening forces
which gave ground all around the
125-mile perimeter.
' But marine forces which cap
tured Seoul's airfield cut the main
road south. And U. S. Seventh di
vision infantrymen also were pun
ching . toward it ahead of the
northbound red columns. Ameri
can artillery on hills commanded
other sections of the road.
Seoul, which fell to the com
munists June 28, - was entered
Wednesday at 6 p. m. (4 a. m.
EST) by First marine division elements.-
' -
United Nations air -pilots were
instructed this morning that Seoul
- - from the northwest outskirts to
its heart - - was outside "the bomb
line." This meant the advancing
marines were moving through the
area." -
Airfield Captured
Brines said the Seoul airfield,
on a plain along the southwest
bank of the Han, was seized by
marines who drove through the
industrial suburb of Yongdungpo.
General Douglas MacArthur made
a personal inspection tour close to
Yongdungpo Wednesday.
Their objectives were three air-
blasted Han bridges leading south
from Seoul.
U. N. planes, which set a rec
ord of more than 700 sorties Wed
nesday, filled the skies today over
the Inchon beachhead.
The marine advances put them
out of effective range of support
ing guns of cruisers off Inchon.
But the one-ton shells of the bat
tleship Missouri's 16-inch carried
for 20 miles into red positions.
Field dispatches and the U. S.
Eighth, communique sketched a
picture of slow deterioration for
the once strongly-manned red line
in southeast Korea.
These were the highlights:
L From recaptured Pohanr.the
east coast port anchoring the line.
South Korean troops advanced
more than a mile north. And 100
miles further north other South
Korean forces landed at Samchok
en the coastal road of retreat for
the reds.
t. North of Taetn. the
which the reds once came close to
capturing, U. S. First cavalry di
vision troops and South Koreans
were closing a trap on elements of
a rea division.
. Southwestward from Taern
along the winding Naktong river,
the U. S. 24th and Second divi
sions held five - - or more - -
bridgeheads on the west side of

WASHINGTON, S e p t. 20 UPh
The senate toda voted 57 to 11 to
confirm Gen. George C. Marshall
as the nation I secretary of de
fense.
- The 69-yeariold soldie r-states
man, who guided American armies
to victory in World War II, suc
ceeds Louis A. Johnson, dropped
from the cabinet by President Tru
man. Marshall takes over the defense
helm at a time when U.S. troops
apparently havf turned the tide
of battle in Korea, but with many
grave problems confronting him in
the troubled international situa
tion. (
Sworn In Thursday
Pentagon officials said he prob
ably will be sworn in, without fan
fare, tomorrow.!
- An aide said the five-star gen
eral intends to go right to his desk,
after taking the oath of office, and
start working.
His immediate job is to re-arm
America at top speed and mold a
forthcoming military machine of
3,000,000 men into fighting trim.
. Senate confirmation came short
ly after Senate Lyndon Johnson
(D-Tex) urged' his colleagues to
"scuttle politics and present a uni
fied front to our common enemy.'
Little Opposition
: Only a few voices were raised in
opposition, chiefly on the ground
that Marshall, a life-long soldier,
was taking over a post- congress
had reserved for a civilian.
. .Senators Cain (R-Wash), Wat
kins (R-Utah) and Donnell (R
Mo) said they opposed putting a
military man in the defense post.
Donnell called it "a distinct mis
take,"' but he did not vote against
confirmation.
Forty-two democrats and 15 re
publicans .voted to confirm Mar

Maneuver
Outside City
BERLIN, Sept 20 -(JPp- East
west friction scratched new sparks
in this four-power city today.
The rival city governments en
gaged in a running duel of ar
resting each other's policemen.
The Soviet sector decided to
shut off its electric power to the
American, British and . French
sectors as of midnight tonight
. Three companies of American,
British and French troops began
combined two-day military ma
neuvers on the shores - of the
Havel river in Berlin's , western
outskirts. The maneuvers follow
ed similar combined , exercises in
Western Germany and the dis
closure that the three powers are
drawing up plans for West Ber
lin's defense.
- In still another incident Soviet
troops erected a harrier on Brit
ish sector territory near the So
viet sector border. They withdrew
when the British protested and
stationed troops along the border
to point out to the Russians the
actual boundary. British. and Rus
sian officers then began discus
sions at straightening out the
difficulty. .
The East press sputtered with
rage over the big three foreign
ministers decisions in New York.
The West press purred with de
light , The Russians charged the west
ern i powers' decisions were "in
tensified preparations for war."
Their official newspaper, Taeg
liche Rundschau, followed the
line that the' increase in western
occupation forces in western Ger
many was "act of aggression,"
and the creation of a mobile Ger
man police force the comouflaging
of a West German army.
The various developments, af
ter weeks of comparative quiet,
came so soon after the big three's
declaration "that an attack on
Berlin or West Germany would
be an attack on themselves" there
seemed to be some connection.

Big Margin
WASHINGTON, Sept 20 -4K ;
The senate tonight sent to the ;
White. House a bill calling for seg-
istration of communists, and per- ,
mitting internment ot potential
spies and saboteurs in time of
war. Whether President Truman
would sign it remained a question. '
The house (.passed . the tough
control measure by a vote of 213
to 20. The senate added its ap-.
proval 31 to 7 hours later.
The pill was a compromise be- -
tween earlier senate and house
versions. "

Even before the measure pas
sed, its backers in both house
were lining up votes to override '.
a veto in event Mr. , Truman re
jects the measure. -They said they . . .
had no doubt they could pile up
the two-thirds majorities needed',
to override. r

biu, but has declined to discus
his attitude toward its amended :
form. r. - - J ' "
Attorney General J. Howard '
McGrath, in a speech to the Am-.

of "hysteria." He said it goes too'

against espionage and. sabotage
for which Mr. Truman originally :
had asked. ' '.- ' :
Parts Denounced I .
' President Truman has denoune-
ed individual sections that were
written into the catch-all anti-
communist bill but has not said -
definitely what he will do about
this particular version. - '
In both houses the oppositio-i-was
based on arguments that the
bill is a product of "fear and hys-.
teria." . . . " '
: Today's top-heavy vote in the ;
house made it appear likely that'
any presidential - veto could - be -overridden
by the necessary two-
thirds vote. -
. Mr. Truman has contended that
the measure, would jeopardize ,
the rights of Innocent persona and .
violate the construction. But Sen-

name is carried on the bill, said ,
it contains" nothing uncos-stiro- '
