U. S. EIGHTH ARMY HEAD
QUARTERS, Korea, Sunday, Feb.
2S-(P-An eighth army spokes
man said today that U. N. ground
troops in Korea have inflicted
133,760 casualties on Chinese and
North Korean reds from January
17 through Feb. 20.
Eighth army communiques have
claimed a total of 120,171 enemy
casualties from ground action
alone from January 25 through
February 23. The spokesman did
not try to reconcile the two sets
of figures, nor did he say why
his latest count dates from Janu
ary 17.
The figure of 133,760 Is the
number of reds officially believed
to have been killed, wounded or
captured by the eighth army in
the mentioned period. It does not
Include air force or navy claims,
nor the thousands of reds who re
portedly have died of typhus and
other diseases.
The spokesman said the figures
were only estimates and could not
possibly be accurate.
He could neither confirm nor
deny an announcement from the
department of defense in Wash
ington that enemy casualties since
the war began totaled 624,000
through February 20.
I don't know where they got
It," he said. "We have no such
total here.
Military men in Korea shrink
from the mention of enemy cas
ualties, protesting that no figures
can be more than guesses.
Abolition of
RFCSought
By Norblad
WASHINGTON, Feb. 25-(Special)
Rep. Walter Norblad, re
publican (Oregon), said today
that he would introduce legisla
tion within a few days to abolish
and liquidate the reconstruction
finance corporation.
Norblad said "this corporation
was organized during the depres
sion to assist business operations
that might otherwise have failed
and it did have useful function
during that time. ... It is still
with us almost 20 years later. . .
"Three years ago the task force
of the Hoover commission made
a thorough study of this agency
and recommended that it be abol
ished and in its stead that such
loans as may be necessary be pro
vided by local banks under the
scrutiny, approval and guarantee
of the federal reserve board. . . .
- Had this been done many of the
things now subject to investiga
tion would not have occurred."

BALTIMORE, Md Feb. 25 Quadruplets were born to the wife of a Baltimore steel worker. The quads,
two boys (at right) and two girls, are shown being held by nurses Margarette Hill rr en (left) and
Laverne Resch at the Maryland General hospital In Baltimore. In order of birth (from left) the babies
arrived 21-3-4. Parents of the quads are Mr. and Mrs. Edward Fappas. (AP Wlrephoto U The
Statesman).
Mother Sees
Quadruplets
For First Time
BALTIMORE, Feb. 2Mi1P)-Mrs.
Harriet Pappas saw her quads for
the first time today and only
for five minutes. She seemed
mighty pleased with what she saw.
"My, they're wonderful," she
glowed.
Thirty hours earlier, the 23-year-old
mother startled herself,
her h us Land and the hospital by
giving birth to two boys and two
girls in four minutes.
Her physician, Dr. George M.
Baumgartner, had toll her she
could exoect twins next month.
They were the Pappas first ih'd
ren. Three weigh more than four
pounds and one boy tipped the
nursery scales af a healthy five-pound-fivc
They aL' seem fine,"
said Dr. Gibson J. Wells in charge
of the nursery.
The babies are. being kept , in in
cubators because of their arrival
several weeks early.
Mrs. Pappas ; amused herself
through the day reading congratu
latory telegrams while her mother-in-law,
Mrs. Rose Pappas, clipped
newspaper stories to be pasted in
a scrapbook for : the babies.
The new father, Edward, also
28, lounged around her room, a
quick smile on his face.
"We're getting offers for things
for the quads already," he said.
"We've been guaranteed a six
months supply of diapers already."
"That will be a help," his wife
injected.
"Then two furniture stores
have offered us two twin go-carts'
and a quad carriage," he added.
More financial help is on the
way, in a form of a "Quad Fund,"
started yesterday by Mayor Thom
as D'Alesandro. ; He started the
ball rolling yesterday with a $100
contribution.
The parents haven't figured out
what they will do about the hous
ing problem. They were planning
to move soon, but into only three
rooms and bath, no bigger than
their present apartment.

Bill to Require
Pay for TB Care
Draws Criticism
PORTLAND, Feb. 25-")-Mult-nomah
county health officer Dr.
F. Sidney Hansen has criticized
a bill before the state legislature
which would require patients or
their relatives to pay actual cost
of care in the state's tuberculosis
hospitals.
He said the purpose of the hos
pitals was to catch the disease in
its early stage and prevent , its
spread. If patients were required
to pay, they would stay away
from the hospital as long as pos
sible, and would infect others, he
said.
At present, persons who are
able to pay are charged $65 a
month for care at the hospitaL
Others are given the service free
or at a reduced figure.
The measure, House Bill 278,
also is opposed by the Oregon Tu
berculosis and Health association.
New Deadlock
Develops in
Rail Parley
WASHINGTON, Feb. 23 (ifp
George E. Leighty, chairman of
the negotiating committee for 15
non-operating railroad unions,
said tonight the carriers have
thrown wage conferences into a
new snarl by asking for a morato
rium on rules changes.
The 15 unions, with approxi
mately 1,000,000 members, served
notice on October 25 they were
asking for a 25-cent general wage
increase. They have been re
ported on the verge of settlement
with the carriers during the past
week oh the basis of a 12 -cent
hourly increase, with cost-of-living
allowances which could add as
much as another five cents to the
wage hike.
But the sudden request by the
carriers for an agreement that the
unions would not ask for any
change in the rules governing
their working conditions In the
next two or three years was bit
terly opposed by the unions.

Johnston to
Sign 'Catch Up9
Wage Formula
WASHINGTON, Feb. 25 (JP)
Eric Johnston probably will sign
into effect the 10 per cent "catch
up" wage formula tomorrow or
Tuesday "without very extensive
changes," government officials
said today. It would replace the
January 25 general wage freeze.
The economic stabilization agency
chief was reported "well along"
toward agreement with labor on
its demands for revision of the
pay pattern.
But the rift on the wage stabili
zation board, whose three labor
members quit in protest over the
formula, remained unhealed.
Johnston, it was indicated, has
decided to go ahead with the
order and leave this split for
later treatment.
Some concessions to labor's
demands for a more liberal pay
policy are being made, officials
said privately. But they empha
sized the changes "will not be
great."
This made It seem likely that
Johnston will approve a formula
permitting pay boosts beyond 10
per cent, up to next June 30, if
such changes were written into
wage contracts prior to January
25, date of the present wage
freeze.

Air Activity
By Stanley Johnson
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y., Feb.
25 -VP)- Gen. MacArthur charged
today that communist planes from
the "privileged sanctuary" of
Manchuria have increased their
activity against United Nations
aircraft.
Numerous battles involving up
to 60 planes at a time have been
fought just south of the Man
churian border, he said in his 14th
report to the-United Nations.
Although the general said that
as many as 85 aircraft have been
observed at one time on the
ground at the red base, Amtung
airfield, just north of the Yalu
river, he did not ask for permis
sion to bomb it.
There has been tremendous dip
lomatic pressure here against any
U.N. action which might extend
the war into China proper.
"The superiority of United Na
tions planes, tactics and pilots over
those of the enemy has been re
peatedly proven in these encoun
ters and the number "of hostile
aircraft destroyed mounts slowly
but steadily," Gen. MacArthur
said.
MacArthur said there are few
indications of enemy intensions
to use airfields in Korea.
The report covered the period
from Jan. 16 to 31.
Besides reporting on the air
battles near Manchuria, Mac
Arthur told the U.N.:
1. Reports have been received
in Tokyo that . typhus has hit at
least part of the Chinese armies in
Korea. The cold weather has add
ed its toll through frostbite, trench
foot and freezing and the enemy
has suffered extremely heavy cas
ualties from U.N. combat action.
MacArthur gave no specific fig
ures. 3. The care of civilian refugees
continues to be a major task of the
unified command. Commodity
prices, however, remain steady,
reflecting the progress of the Re
public of Korea government food
collection program.
Clementis Said
Center of 'Plot'
PRAGUE, Feb. 25-P)-Presi-dent
Klement Gottwald declared
publicly today that the communist
party has found within its ranks
a five-year-old plot aimed at lin
ing up Czechoslovakia with the
West. He said it was engineered
by the missing Vlado Clementis
and others.
Gottwald assailed Clementis
and the others as "traitors and
conspirators." His statements bol
stered belief that Clementis, for
mer foreign minister under Gott
wald, Is under arrest. Previous
reports had said that Clementis,
who has not been seen since late
in January, had fled to Yugo
slavia or a haven in the West. But
there has been no confirmation of
his arrival.

Maine Boys
Romp icith
Cow Moose
i
FALMOUTH, Me., Feb. 25-P)r-Three
Falmouth boys romped
with a cow moose for nearly two
hours in woods of this suburban
town outside Portland and even
kissed her.
"Had a bushel of fun mntil she
chased me up a tree," said 13-year-old
Donald Villaci.
"Aw she wouldn't have hurt
you anyway," argued his chums
Leroy Hiler, 11, and Robert Wil
liams, 13.
Robert's father, Forrest, and
neighbor Joseph Walker were
skeptical when the boys told yes
terday of patting the moose and
said she'd "even let you kiss her
on the nose."
Walker allowed that he'd find
the moose, rope it and bring it
home. And he did just that.
At first, he said, the 700-pound
animal didn't take kindly to a
rope halter but "by the time I
got her out to the road she was
leading like any old cow."
Walker called a game warden
who will decide tomorrow what
to do with the big creature.
