House Plan
May Oust
Acheson
WASHINGTON, May 3 (4)—
Secretary of State Acheson's foes
in the House are whipping up a
plan to force him out of office
by shutting off his salary after
June 30.
They might be able to do this
by• refusing to vote an appro
priation to pay him—or even to
hold up funds for the entire
State department so long as Ach
eson stays in office.
Rep. Arend: of Illinois, the
Republican whip, said today he
is sure such a move will develop.
A number of Southern Demo
crats are ready to give any Re
publican oust-Acheson move their
enthusiastic support.
Rep. Cox (D-Ga.) told a re
porter that denying fundd to
Acheson "will cut the ground
from under him and he will have
to quit or President Truman will
have to fire him."

the Department of Defense said

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA
Free Peoples'
Complacency
Hit By Dewey
NEW YORK, May 3—(/P)—The
strongest weapon in the Soviet
arsenal is the tendency of free
ueople to "drop their arms and
become sitting ducks" , when they
think they are in no danger, New
York Governor Thomas E. Dewey
said today.
Dewey maintains the way to
avoid World War 111 is to under
stand "some simple, obvious
truths which are being danger
ously ignored in most public dis
cussions today." These truths are
that "we • are being warred
against by Communist Russia
with bullets, treason, wile, prop
aganda. and every other weapon,"
and will continue to be as long
as Russia is communist.
He, says that war will never
again be declared in the tradi
tional way, but would strike as
we sleep; that we can "probably
live out our lives without World
War III" if we become and re
main strong enough, and that ul
timately we can start rolling
back the iron curtain by capital
izing on the misery and rebellion
o com m u n ist-conquered peo
ples."
Dewey predicts that "bur gen
eration will never again know
what we.used to regard as normal
peacetime."
Reede Talk
On Eastern Policy
Dr. Robert T. Oliver and Prof.
Harold A. Reede led a discussion
of United States Far Eastern pol
icy at the Penn State Christian
Association freshman round-table
in 304 Old Main Monday night
Dr. Oliver contended that the
present trouble is due to the fact
that the United States did not
recognize the Republic of Korea
after it declared war on Japan in
1941. He said he believed that this
country encouraged Russian ag
gression in Korea by not taking
a stronger stand against their in
terference in the North Korean
government. He added that the
United States must take a strong
stand in Korea now despite the
vacillation of its allies, because
if real trouble does start they will
surely side with this country.
Prof. Reede countered that the
present trouble in Korea is a
world problem, not a problem of
the United States alone. He said
that decisions of international
policy made by this country must
be made in the light of the opin
ions of its allies—that it cannot
disregard them and go ahead on
its own.
All boarding students at the
College in the eighties and nine
ties lived on the third, fourth,
and fifth floors of Old Main.

Air Power
To Control
WASHINGTON, May 3—(R)—Gen. Douglas MacArthur warned
today that unless Red China is beaten into surrender by all-out air
attacks the Korean conflict may explode into a third world war.
He told Senators the course being followed by the Truman ad
ministration may be "inviting" another war rather than avoiding it.
And he strongly urged the use of air power, a naval blockade of
Tank-Infantry
Slash Reds
Above Seoul
TOKYO, Friday, May 4 (in—
lAggressive allied tank-infantry
teams slashed at the Reds above
Seoul in a series of sharp actions
Thursday, ending a brief lull on
the Korean ground front.
The Reds, under constant air
attack, were regrouping fOr an
expected renewal of their stalled
spring .offensive farther east.
One allied tank-infantry patrol
rammed into a Chinese regiment
east-northeast of the old repub
lican capital. It killed an esti
mated 200 Reds in a brisk two
hour fight and returned with 21
prisoners.
Another patrol nosed in t o
Uijongbu, 11 miles north of Se
oul. ReSistance was light. A third
armored force probed southwest
of, Uijongbu and salvaged two
abandoned allied tanks.
The U.S. Eighth. army reported
no action on the eastern front.
Although relatively minor, the
skirmishes were regarded as
evidence the Reds are digging in
on a line roughly ten miles north
of Seoul to regroup their hard
hit forces for a resumption of the
offensive they began April 22.

Dramatic Appeal
His dramatic appeal came at
the conclusion of more than six
hours of testimony behind closed
doors with the Senate armed ser
vices and foreign relations com
mittees.
He laid down three possible
courses to follow: either to pursue
it to victory; to surrender to the
enemy, and end it on his terms;
or, "what I think is the worst
of all choices—to go on indefi
nitely and indefinitely, neither
to win or lose, in that stalemate."
Losses Will Mount
He said the latter course will
mean "these losses are going to
mount up to figures which would
stagger the imagination."
He conceded the President had
a right to oust him. But he pro
tested he was forced "summarily"
to turn over his job to Gen.
Matthew Ridgway "who was 350
miles away on the Korean front."
And as for the reluctance of
Britain and other UN members
to hit the Red Chinese hard, he
said he would be willing to "go
it alone" if UN members refused
to join in.
Israeli, Syrians
Clash At Border
TEL AVIV, Israel, May 3—(A')—
Israeli and Syrian forces pounded
each other with artillery and mor
tar fire tonight in the border
feud over the demilitarized zone
of Palestine north of the Sea of
Galilee.
The United Nations Palestine
commission vainly ordered a
cease-fire.
Israeli military authorities said
they could observe the order only
if the Syrians stopped blasting
them from inside Syria.
The battle started yesterday
with small arms fire in an area
between the Huleh swamps and
the point where the River Jor
dan flows into the Sea of Galilee.
