For taxable years endintr after

Defended By
JCS Chief
WASHINGTON 1 Gen. Mat
thew B. Ridgway said Thursday
Pentagon leaders do not see any
evidence that the Communists in
tend to renew hostilities in Korea.
Ridgway, the Army chief of
staff, was formerly supreme com
mander of Allied powers in the Far
East. -
He told the Senate Foreign Re
lations Committee that Uie planned
withdrawal of two U.S. divisions
from South Korea would not weak
en the' American position but
would provide greater flexibility of
action.
Ridgway and Secretary of the
Army Robert T. Stevens appeared
before the committee to urge Sen
ate ratification of a mutual de
fense pact negotiated with Korea.
In reply to a question by Chair
man Wiley (R-Wis), Ridgway said
there have been "verified with
drawals" of Chinese units from
North Korea since the armistice
but he said the over-all Commu
nist strength there still is "not far
from one million" men.
FIELDS REPAIRED
Ridgway told the committee
there also was verified evidence
that the Communists have rebuilt
war-torn airfields since the armi
stice and have constructed some
new airfields.
But, he added, "our conclusions'
are we do not see evidence of an
intention on their part to renew
hostilities." S
Ridgway's testimony was in line
with President Eisenhower's state
ment at his news conference 1
Wednesday that he had no reports
of Communist build-ups in viola
tion of the truce.
The President said the evidence
Is that the Communists have dtig 1
in defensively, done a surprising J
amount of economic rebuilding in
North Korea and reduced their
ground forces.
Ridgway answered "positively,
yes," when asked by Sen, Humph- '
rey D-Minn) if South Korea was
an essential bastion for United
States security in the Pacific.
Humphrey also explored the ad
ministration's announced new pol
icy of retaliation to Communist
aggression at a place of this coun
try's own cnoosmg, but not neces
sarily where the Red attack oc

Then we went up to the Kiwanls

Rail Rate
Hearing Set
Word w3 received In Klamath
Palls Wednesday by the Southern
Pacific Company that a Tariff Bu
reau hearing has been set for Jan.
23 in Los Angeles pertaining to the
proposed freight rate reduction by
tne union Pacific Railroad, accord
ing to George W. Morgan, S. p.
district agent.
According to information avail
able here the U.P. proposes to cut
rates on potato shipments from
Idaho and northern Utah points on
their own lines, to the Los Angeles
area.
At the hearing the Union Pacific
will ask that the "emergency
clause" rate known as X175 be re
moved between these points and
will ask for a further reduction cf
from two to four cents In the regu
lar rate.
This emergency clause requires
railroads to add 15 per cent to the
regular rate for potato shipments.
The Southern Pacific and other
transportation companies will pro
test the proposed reduction, Mor
gan stated.
The second annual meeting oft
