- -: The medieval scholastics used to
debate on how many angels could
dance on the point oi a neeaie
Just what the decision was I nev-
er learned). Now a study is going
forward under the u. im. economic
and social council on how many
people the earth can support. Ap
parently the disagreement is as
wide as on the angels-on-a-needle
. question. Some experts put the
tntai at 2.ROO.000.00O which is only
400,000,000 more than present
population estimates. Other ex
perts run the total up to 16 bil
lion persons. At tnai unie ic
sumably they would hang out the
Standing Room Only sign.
To determine how many people
can live on-the earth the experts
start figuring on the area of till
able land for supply of food. Even
there the range is wide, running
from 2.6 billion acres to 15.6, with
the majority view hitting at four
billion acres. That computation
doesn't provide a firm basis for
computing population possibilities
because the "have" nations aren't
going to open their borders to an
overrun irom ine - nave noi na
tions.'. . Even if there were agreement
on land area and ful mobility of
populations it still wouldn't be
possible to figure out very ac
curately what the maximum would
be. Limiting factors are soil de
pletion, water supply, climate
changes; Counter forces which
would augment the 'food supply
i are use of fertilizers, discoveries
of genetics (seed strains), greater
investment in machinery, further
reclamation of lands.
Suffice it to say that the Mal
thusian doctrine that food supply
could not keep up with population
increase has not'proved out Popu
lations have increased tremendous

his essay on population, and the

Chinese Add to
Resistance in
Central Korea
TOKYO, Sunday, April MflV
Ten Allied divisions today pushed
spearheads - deeper inside - red
Korea despite a flareup of re
sistance by retreating reds.
-The 'Chinese reds suddenly
turned and fought advancing
Americans north of the S8th paral
lel on the central front after two
days of retreat.
AP Correspondent William C.
Barnard reported from that front
that the reds used artillery, mor
tars and machine guns to 1 hurl
back an attacking American pla
toon from a ridge overlooking the
Pukhan river north of Chimchon.
It was the first major opposi
tion the Allies had met since Wed
nesday when they drove across
: Korea. - " i
The flareup of resistance slowed
an Allied push toward Hwachon,
a major Chinese red base in cen
tral Korea seven miles north of
38. Tank tasfc forces paced the
UJT. drives. '
The overall progress of 10 Allied
divisions was so good that AP
Correspondent Leif Erickson re
ported from U.. S. Eighth army
headquarters: i
"If .the Eighth army's steady artillery-supported
advance . rate
continues today (Sunday), - the
entire Allied front should be north
of the 38th parallel all across the
country from the Imjin river east
to the Japan sea by tomorrow
(Monday)."

French Claim
Chinese Units
In Indochina
By Seymour Topping
HANOI. Indochina, Sunday,
April 8-(P)-French army head
quarters announced today that a
Chinese battalion invaded north
west Indochina a week ago and,
after seizins two towns, are now
marching toward the French
garrisoned provincial capital of
Laichau.
Laichau Is 170 miles north
west of Hanoi.
French military courses said
the Chinese troops had occupied
the border town of Bannamcu
ouajg April 1st and on the fol
lowing day penetrated 11 miles
southeast to take the larger
town of i Phonrtho.
French paratroopers and Moroc
can troops were airlifted to Laich
au yesterday and today to rein
force the small French garrison
there.
French reconnaissance patrols
pushed 15 miles north today from
Laichau without contacting the
Chinese. Laichau Is about 50 mi
les southeast, of PHongtho. -
Headquarters sources emphasiz
ed that it is not yet known whetn-
er the invading battalion is Chi
nese communist These sources said
that nationalist Chinese guerrilla
units operate in the border region
as well as bandits who are parti
cularly active at this time of the
year when the opium crop Is be
ing harvested.
This development came from
the communist rebel chieftain in
Indochina, Ho Chi Minn, directed
his Vietminh divisions by radio to
give up the frontal warfare again
st the French and revert to guer
rilla fighting.
Off to a running start last fall,
the campaign stalled lately under
French counterattacks.

Be Easier, . '
America now is producing more
steel than almost all the rest of
the world put together. Defense
orders and a demand backlog that
goes way back to the last war are
keeping demand high. -
Production, however, is roaring
along at a pace which would have
amazed leaders of the industry a
few years v ago ; if they had been
able then to see, what was coming.
The steel industry now looks f of
pressure on mills from consumers
to hit rts peak in May. After that,
a leveling off or even a decline is
expected.
Thaf s why many steel company
executives think civilians wont
be hard up for steel. The' decline
is widely predicted to arrive some
time, between June . and October
of this year.

Complete
90th Day
By John H. White
Staff Writer, The Statesman
Legislative action was completed
Saturday on the bill which sets up
machinery to pay the state vet
erans bonus approved by the vot
ers last November.
The senate , unanimously ap
proved the measure and sent it
to the governor to climax a brief
session.
Both houses quickly adjourned
so that the joint ways and means
committee could begin all-day
consideration of major appro
priations bills which are expected
to be ready for final debate late
this week. .
Approval of these bills would
be a major step toward ending the
1951 session, now only eight days
short of the all-time record of 97
days set in 194?. Saturday was the
90th day of the legislature.
The bonus machinery bill ap
propriates $50,000 to the state de
partment of I veterans affairs to
buy supplies' and start work on
the bonus setup. A proposed $55,
000,000 bond- issue to finance the
bonus has been approved by the
ways and means committee but
has not reached the floor of the
house. I
A maximum $600 bonus for
World .War II: veterans was - ap
proved at the last general election.
First payments are not expected
before October' 1.
To Reconsider Bill

senate voted 20 to S to reconsider
a bill prohibiting elective" state
officials from using their names
on most official documents.
- Senators failed by a single vote
to pass the measure Friday. It re
ceived 15 to 14 approval but
needed 16 votes for passage.
Sen. Dean Walker, Indepen
dence, who voted against the bill
Friday, moved for the reconsid
eration. The I senate then sent it
back to the state and federal af
iairs committee ior a compro
mise. :
- The bill is aimed mainly at Sec
retary of State Earl T. Newbry
whose name appears on drivers
licenses, the bluebook, the voter's
pamphlet and; other documents.
It is charged that, Newbry ; re
ceives free publicity for campaign
purposes. I ,
Rebuttal by Ellis
Sen. Rex Ellis, Pendleton, op
posed the move, calling the bill
an attempt toj mow Newbry out of
office. Ellis was rebuked by Sen.
Richard L. Neuberger, Portland
democrat and chief sponsor of the
bilL-who said EUis built some of
the branch offices now being oc
cupied by Newbry's department.
The Pendleton senator said he
no longer holds any leases.

day, April 8-CflP-There is no end
in sight to the Korean war under
present military conditions unless
there is a political settlement, Lt.
Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway, the IT.
S. Eighth army commander, said
today. '
"I have no personal knowledge
of negotiations for a political set
tlement," General Ridgway told a
press conference at forward head
quarters in Korea.
He warned the allied people to
abandon the idea of an end to the
war against communism.
"There is nothing transitory, no
thing temporary about the com
munists'' determination to destroy
us completely," he said. y
"This, for . the communist lead
ers, is an all-out life or death
struggle, he continued. "They
have not varied their objectives.
They may vary their tactics, tim
ing, strategy yes but their ob
jectives never."
. Ridgway declared that the 8th,
army still held the initiative in
the Korean fighting. He added he
intended -to keep the pressure on
