Red Losses Heavy
As Allies Withdraw
TOKYO, Friday, April 27—VP)—Red troops swarmed down to
within 11 miles of rubbled Seoul today, hitting allied forces on the
outskirts of Uijongbu.
Allied forces littered the Korean battlefield with Communist
dead Thursday in the planned, fighting withdrawal on the western
front. .
But despite the assault on Uijongbu, defense outpost for Seoul,
the United Nations field comman
der declared the Reds would be
stopped north of the Han river.
The statement came from Lt.
Gen. James \A. Van
_Fleet on a
surprise visit to the rolling front.
Hope To Save Seoul
His reference to north of the
Han apparently meant the allies
hoped to save Seoul from falling
into Red hands for the third time
in just over 10 months of war.
United Nations forces still held
Uijongbu and were putting up a
strong fight. Uijongbu controls
the main invasion road to Seoul.
On the central-eastern front
allied forces beat back four night
counterattacks.
Western Pressure
The western pressure by the
enemy was intense. The U.S.
Eighth army communique said
five Red divisions were pounding
southward.
Yet the United Nations with
drawals remained orderly. The
roads behind the withdrawing
allies were littered with the
corpses of communist dead
Official estimates of Red troops
slain in the first four days of the
Red spring drive totalled 22,000
men. Allied aerial blows were ex
pected to , swell that figure to be
yond the 30,000 mark.
Symington May
Be RFC Head
WASHINGTON, April 26 (g3)-
W. Stuart Symington, govern
ment administrator, convinced
the Senate banking committee
today that he's the man to take
over the oft-criticized RFC.
The committee questioned him
closely for two hours and then
voted to approve his nomination
as one-man boss of the Recon
struction Finance corporation.
The giant government lending
agency has been under fire in
Congress for months because of
charges by a Senate investigat
ing committee that it yielded to
political influence in making
millions of dollars worth of loans:
Symington, now head of the
National Security Resources
board, told the senators he was
"beholden" to no one, and that
President Truman had given him
a free hand to go in• and re
organize the RFC.
If the Senate approves his
nomination, he will take office as
administrator about the end of
the month, replacing the present
five-Man board of directors.
Iran Group Asks
Oii Nationalization
TEHRAN, Iran, April 26 (JO
A special parliamentary oil com
mission voted tonight to ask Par
liament to set up a 12-man Iran
ian government board to take
immediate control of the huge
British-owned Anglo-Iranian Oil
company. •
The sudden move to carry out
nationalization of the only • com
pany working the vast oil riches
in this country came after 44
persons were injured in
,rioting
over the issue in the northern
city of Resht, capital of the prov
ince of Guilan on the Caspian sea.
Parliament is expected to meet
Saturday or Sunday to act on
the oil commission's proposal.
Parliament voted unanimously
last month in favor of the prin
ciple of oil nationalization and
appointed the special commission
to work out the details.
Conference Cancelled
The two-day conference of the
Pennsylvania State association for
Adult Education which was
scheduled to be held in Hershey
today and tomorrow has been
cancelled.
No further date has been set for
the conference and no reasons

tion.
Senate Places
Charter Rule
On New Frats
New local fraternities at the
College must wait at least two
years before they may request
national affiliation, under a new
ruling of the senate committee
on student welfare.
The decision was handed down
in connection with the request
for a fraternity charter of an or
ganization calling itself "Scroll
ers." The group wanted im
mediate affiliation with a na
tional fraternity. Only the local
charter was approved.
The Interfraternity council had
recommended to the student.wel
fare committee that the Scrollers'
charter be refused. The commit
tee handed down the compro
mise decision, which will go into
effect as a permanent policy.
In explaining the decision,
Dean of Men H. K. Wilson said
that there was no' intention of
preventing the chartering of new
fraternities.
"It is• important that a new
fraternity prove its ability to op
erate successfully before it joins
a national," Wilson said. "Other
wise the organization may fold
up.".
Under the new policy ruling,
a local fraternity which has been
in existence for two years may
petition the student welfare com
mittee for permission to request
national affiliation. Only after
this permission is granted, may
it seek a charter from a national.
The ' Scrollers charter''is the
first granted under the new rul
ing. The Scrollers name will
probably be changed. •
IFC president liarolil Lein
bach, a member of the senate
committee, was not available for
comment.

WASHINGTON, April 26 (JP)—
Wilson said yesterday if this coun

the stuff coming off our produc

"If we could have taken Stalin

new weapons we saw yesterday,
there would be no fear at all of
an all-out third world war."
