Lists Three Pa. Cities

sively to Philadelphia where the

activity in the numbers racket.

accusing finger at William O'-
Dwyer, ambassador to Mexic - O, de
claring that he allowed gambling,

Speakers Attack
President's Budget
WASHINGTON, May I—(lP)—Three speakers told the United
States Chambek of Commerce today that President Truman's pend
ing $71,000,000,000 budget can be slashed and two of them centered
an-"wasteful" military spending.
Seal. Douglas (D-111.) saw a $4,000,000,000 cut as possible, half of
it in the armed forces. Sen. Byrd (D-Va.) demanded $7,000,000,000 in
cuts, starting with a 15 percent,
across-the-board trimming of all
agency budgets.
He estimated that 300,000 to
400,000 workers could be trimmed
from the federal payroll without
loss of efficiency. And non-de
fense, non-fixed spending propo
sals can be cut from the $9,800,-
000,000 asked by Mr. Truman to
about $4,900,000,000, Byrd said.
Ellsworth C. Alvord, ,head of
the chamber's own committee on
federal finance, told the 39th an
nual chamber session that $7,000,_
000,000 can be knocked out of
the budget.
Senator Byrd included foreign
"give away programs" in his at
tack on federal spending. Present
aid proposals would cost $46,000,-
000,000 cut in foreign outlays in
the fiscal 1952 budget.

New. York's
Red Parade
Like Funeral
NEW YORK, May I—(lP)—Like
a funeral procession, Communists
and left-wingers marched in thin,
solemn ranks today beneath occa
sional showers of ripe eggs, fruit
and vegetables.
It was New York city r s 10th
annual May day parade.
The slow beat of drums, the
rhythmic thud of marching feet
echoed like a dirge and height
ened the funeral atmosphere of
the parade.
By police estimate, 6,200 took
part in the parage and 13,000 per
sons lined lower Eighth avenue
to watch—and many to sneer.
Last Saturday, a "loyalty day"
parade headed by Gen. Douglas
MacArthur and designed to offset
today's demonstration, drew. 150,-
000 marchers and a millon spec
tators.
Seven of the 11 top leaders of
American Communism were on
hand—in the reviewing stand—
men convicted of plotting armed
revolution against their country.
They still are free while their
prison sentences are being ap
pealed.
And among the speakers on the
reviewing stand was negro singer
Paul Robeson.
A few uniforms were sprinkled
through a section of the parade
where World War II veterans
marched.
Your loss. will be someone's
gain—sign up now for the Red
Cross blood drive Thursday at the
State College Methodist church.

Wedemeyer Warned
Of Korean Invasion
WASHINGTON, May 1— (R) Lt. Gen. Albert C. Wedemeyer
warned in 1947 of just such a "Soviet-controlled invasion" of Korea
as later set off the war now roaring to bloody new climax.
At the same time he had urged creation of an American-offt
cered defense force in the south. The U. S. did grant some aid to the
Allies Stop
Communists
Near Seoul
TOKYO, Wednesday, May 2
M—Chinese Communists, stop
ped dead north of Seoul by the
greatest allied barrage of the war,
shifted the weight of their ponder
ous offensive eastward Tuesday
to the central front.
A field dispatch reported an
ominous enemy buildup in the
hills east of Seoul. The Reds
closed some of the floodgates of
the big Hwachon reservoir. This
lowered the levels of the Pukhan
and Han rivers, the two major
barriers on the route of the
enemy advance.
Field dispatches said there was
no effective enemy action along
the western front May day—the
day the Reds had hoped to swarm
into Korea's ancient capital.
The Reds' closing of the flood
gates of the big Hwachon appar
ently was to make the Pukhan
river easier to cross. This in turn
lowered the Han, into which the
Pukhan flows 16 miles east of
Seoul. Engineers • were forced to
adjust pontoon bridges across the
Han at several points to compen
sate for the lower water levels.
A sharp aerial battle flared for
20 minutes Tuesday high over
northwest Korea. Some 25 U.S.
F-86 Sabre jets engaged a like
number of Russian-built MIGS
south of the Yalu river and sent
them streaking for their Man
churian bases after damaging
four and probably shooting down
one. None of the Sabre jets suf
fered damage, but two other U.S.
fighters were hit by anti-aircraft
fire over the -front lines.
The Air 'Force turned in the
greatest fighting performance of
the war Tuesday, mounting a rec
ord high 1,277 sorties.
Navy carrier pilots, Marines,
South African and Australian air
men teamed with Fifth Air Force
pilots in raking the front.
