Newspaper Page Texti, i Register-Guard, Eugene, Ore. Page 1 2 Thurs., Feb. 21, 1952 Ridgway Raps pose Critical Of Korean War l 'Blind Can See' : Enemy Intentions :' TOKYO tP) Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway said Thursday night it is deplorable that many Amer icans still ask "Why are we in . Korea?" The supreme Allied command er declared the pattern of Com munist intentions is "now spread across the world where even the blind can see." For his part, Ridgway said there can be no question of the "validity . and purpose" of U. S. fighting in i Korea "against that deliberately planned, unprovoked aggression." "To have done otherwise," he said, "would have been a repudia- tion of every principle we had 1 . previously professed." Ridgway spoke at the annual convention of the Far East De partment of the Reserve Officers Association. r. HE MADE NO mention of the Korean armistice talks at Pan- munjom. The address was devoted large ly to remarks on Military Reserve officers and George Washington, who was born 220 years ago Fri- day. Ridgway said the same situation exists today that Washington found in 1775 when he wrote that one of his hardest jobs was to induce people to believe there was -: "danger until the bayonet is '' pushed at their breasts." "Our country," Ridgway said, "still has today many people whose intelligence level offers no slight est excuse for a similar mental outlook on this problem. ")!t!i "T&H - i I lAP WIlTDhtJtO) MRS. LENA ZUKLE, 21, of Los Angeles, waits to be freed from a wrecked station wagon in which she lies trapped, her right leg pinned between the steering post, the seat and floorboard. She pleaded with her rescuers not to amputate her mangled leg and she was freed after a 40 minute struggle. General Defends 'Stand-by' Wages "WITH THE pattern of Commu nist intentions now spread across 1 the world where even the blind ' can see, neither the seeming in sulation of distance, nor the native 'born of a sheltered life, can plead the slightest excuse, nor abate one iota of our individual responsi bility. "To do otherwise than oppose aggression in the future, within our capabilities, will be to i knowledge as sterile every sacri fice America has made since it obtained independence. "We have heard and we still hear at times, and I regret to say from Americans referring to Ko . rea, 'Why are we there?' I think the question discredits him who asks it." Winnie Denies He Did Wrong On Free Rides LONDON (fl5) Prime Minister Churchill stoutly denies he did wrong by accepting free rides on steamships and trains during his January visit to the United States and Canada. He said Wednesday in the House of Commons, "the gifts and services of the Cunard Steamship Company, as well as those of the United States and Canadian Rail ways, were not to ministers but to the British taxpayers." Con servative supporters backed him up with loud cheers. He was hitting back at opposi tion charges that he failed in his duty by "the acceptance ot gifts from commercial undertakings." Laboritc Col. G. E. C. Wigg had said that Churchill should have declined free trips. The value of the boat rides giv en Churchill and Foreign Sec retary Anthony Eden was 1,752 pounds, $4,905. The train trjps cost considerably loss. In New York, spokesmen for the New York Central and Penn sylvania Railways said all their bills had or would be paid by the British delegation to the United Nations or reimbursed by the Canadian Farific Railway. Giving free transportation, they said, violnles Interstate Com merce Commission regulations. WASHINGTON (IP) A Senate investigation heard Thursday that workers on a super-secret air base construction program near the North Pole collected more than three million dollars in wages before even reaching the job. Lt. Gen. Lewis A. Pick, chief of Army Engineers, defended these payments as well as salaries at a rate of $13,000 a year for laborers and $17,000 a year for mechanics on the project. Questions by Downey Rice, counsel for the committee which was set up as a watchdog group on military spending brought out the salary figures. RICE DID not .indicate how many workers shared the three million dollars, but said they drew the pay while en route to the job by ship and airplane. He said some of them left Nor folk, Va by ship, expecting to be at the job in 15 days but actually were 42 days on the way. The project was known by the code name of "Blue Jay" pre viously publicized as being in Greenland. Rice said this project and an other air base construction job in North Africa, known by the code name of "Atlas already involved expenditures of about 100 million dollars. GEN. PICK recently has re turned from a tour of these over seas bases, including those in French Morocco in North Africa. Rice asked Pick why workers had been recruited at "premium pay," sent to a center and then sent back home to await orders while getting "sta.nd-by pay" that amounted to $317,000 at the rate of $4 -a day a man. Their regu lar pay began when they left for the job. Pick explained that it was nec essary first, "to carefully screen" each worker after he had been recruited, sent to a center to be briefed and then sent home to await orders after clearance. "This was hazardous beyond anything ever encountered in con struction," Gen. Pick said, appar ently referring to the North Pole work. He said it was necessary to transport the workers by both ship and airplane and that the ships needed icebreakers to get through. "IT LOOKED like someone made a mistake by paying sala ries in excess of three million dol lars before the workers even reached the job," Rice said, and asked who was responsible. "I am, sir, Pick replied. Ho said the northern air base job was "something new, nobody had done anything like it before. The general said he was rushed for time and thought "we had a chance of getting it done."

Noise Alarms Portland Area PORTLAND (IP) A long rum bling noise alarmed part of Port land and a suburban area south west of the city Wednesday night. Police began an investigation, but the cause of the noise was not determined at once. Heard over a wide area, lt sounded like thunder. The Weath er Bureau said that if it were thunder it was a freak, for condi tions did not indicate thunder or and Mrs. Truman, accompanied by Secretary of Agriculture Brannan and Mrs. Brannan, attended a con cert by violinist Jascha Heifctz Wednesday night at Constitution Hall. Heifctz played with the National Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Howard Mitchell. Some residents reported seeing a flash, and some thought a jet plane had crashed. The Air Force said no jet planes were flying, and a check of military and civilian flying services disclosed no planes missing. A theory also was advanced that a meteor had passed over. U.S. Jets Down Two More MIGs Commie Ambush Pins Down Patrol SEOUL. Korea (IP) Amer ican Sabre jet pilots shot down two more Red jets Thursday hrineine their toll this week to ten. The two MIG-15S eliminated were blown out of the air during a 20-minute battle in cloudy North Korean skies between 27 American Sabre jets and 20 MIGs. American losses, if any, were not announced. The Air Force dis closes U.S. plane losses only once a week. On the ground a Red ambush pinned down an Allied patrol and its rescue force for more man an hour on the frozen Eastern Front, A SECOND United Nations rescue group broke the trap and freed both Allied units in sharp fighting. The action occurred northwest of Kansong, on the east coast. Among the few planes in the air Thursday morning was a jet that bombed "Freedom Bridge" linking Allied true headquarters at Munsan with Panmunjom, site of armistice talks. It dropped two bombs. Eyewitnesses said it resembled an American F-80 Shooting Star. One soldier said he saw USAF, United States Air Force on the underside of one wing. NO DAMAGE or casualties were reported. Only one bomb exploded. Naval headquarters in Tokyo said the battleship Wisconsin re turned to action off East Korea Wednesday. The flagship of the U.S. Seventh Fleet fired 5000 rounds of five-inch shells and re ported direct hits on two im portant Communist bridges. The Wisconsin is commanded by Capt. Thomas Burrows of Washington, D.C. Off the east coast, American and New Zealand warships de stroyed 15 sampans in a 50-min- ute battle with a Red "fishing fleet navy." The sampans are used as blockade runners to move supplies. Works All Day and Nearly All Night But Truman Admits He Enjoys Joh Bv ERNEST B.

VACCARO Aiinelated mil t" rr WASHINGTON (IP) President Truman told a Masonic gathering Thursday that .he works all flay and nearly all night as President, "but just between you and me and the gatepost, I like It." The President confided this at titude in an off-the-cuff talk to Grand Masters of Masons attend ing a nationwide conference. Cabinet members and White House staff representatives also attended the hotel breakfast at which Truman defended his aides against the description of "Mis souri Gang," which he said has been given them by his opponents. He noted that Lincoln, Jefferson, Cleveland and other .Presidents underwent a lot of criticism and that it was some years after Cleve land left office that it was said of him "they loved him for the enem ies he made." " I HOPE YOU love me for that same reason," the President said. Truman- did not identify the "they" in the remark about Cleve land. He went on to say that if he thinks he's right in what he does, "I don't care if anyone likes it or not." At one point, the President said with a grin "this year is leap year, a most important year in the history of the government of the United States." He called attention to attacks made on George Washington by "a leading Philadelphia paper" and said this was "one reason why he At his news conference Wednes day, the President declined com ment once again on his political intentions.

Nunan, Jr., former Commissioner of Internal Revenue, has resigned from his Washington, D. C, law firm because of the criticism di rected at him m tax case probes. Nunan's' New York counsel, Richard J. Burke, announced the resignation Wednesday. The action was attributed to fear that Nunan's partners might 'suffer unjustifiable harm tem porarily through his continued as sociation with them."
