U.S. Should Block
Red China Entrance
To UN—Marshall
WASHINGTON, May 10 (?P) Secretary of Defense Marshall
indicated today that the United States should use its veto power if
necessary to block the entry of Red China into the United Nations.
The Department of State has held that Red China's admission to
the UN is a "procedural" matter which cannot be vetoed irl the
Security Council even though
this government is reported op
posci to the entry.
The Secretary gave Senators
this viewas he defended—for the
fourth straight day—the adminis
tration program in Asia with ar
guments which President Truman
told reporters are the exact truth,
word for word.
He will resume his testimony to
morrow .at 9 a.m., EST.
Earlier, Marshall had said the
U. S. government will fight Corn
munist China's admission to the
UN and will not permit the island
of Formosa to fall into Red-hands.
Marshall's statement on tfie ve
to came after he denied that old
prejudices, growing out of clash
ing views over the Chinese Reds
coming to power, had played a
part in the ouster of Gen. Doug
las MacArthur.
lie said: "I don't think that had
any connection- with it whatso
ever."

Truman Baks
Beef Ceilings
WASHINGTON, May 10 (271
President Truman today gave
emphatic support to the beef
price ceilings now being put into
effect.
He told his news conference
that protests against the new ceil
ing orders by packers and others
were the same old 1946 fight
over again. He indicated he
would• not be swayed by them.
He said he approved the price
orders of Administrator Michael
DiSalle and they will be enforced.
Recalling the 1946 'controversy
and agitation which led, to the
removal of meat price controls
effected during World War
Truman said current cries stem
from the fact that whenever you
tread on the toes of anybody
they have to scream.
The DiSalle orders call for pro
gressive reductions in the prices
paid for live cattle and for a
total reduction of nine or ten
cents a pound at retail by Octo=
b er.

Tanks Rip
10 Miles
To Parallel
TOKYO, Friday, May 11 (k)—
Allied tanks smashed within 10
miles of parallel 38 on the west
ern front Thursday in the battle
of Korea—a battle described by
Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway as
possibly turning the tide against
world Communism.
Ridgeway, United Nations
commander, said that because of
Allied successes in Korea, history
might record "that the crest of
the communist wave has been
broken."
Van Fleet had said earlier that
he felt more confident of whip
ping the Reds now than he did
at the outset of the Chinese and
Korean Red offensive April 22.
After 10 days and losses of an
estimated 75,000 men, the Reds
began a withdrawal that—in
most seetors—still continues.
Red supply lines have been hit
'round-the-clock by Allied fight
ers and bombers. More than 650
sorties were • flown by dusk
Thursday. •
