Bradley Asks UN
Safeguard Korea
WASHINGTON, May 23 (JP)-.Gen. Omar Bradley told Sena
tors..
today South Korea would remain under constant threat of new
Communist attacks if a peace settlement called for the withdrawal
of United Nations forces without any safeguards.
The five-star General said cease-fire terms will have to contain
US Forces
Advance On
All Fronts
TOKYO, May 24 —(P)— The
U.S. Eighth Army, supported by
mighty aerial and artillery bom
bardments, lunged northward
along the entire Korean battle
front Wednesday in a blazing
general counterattack.
Field dispatches described the
Chinese and North Korean forces
as making "hasty but orderly"
withdrawals at some points. They
fought stubborn delaying actions
at others.
All along the front the formid
able Red tide ebbed back toward
the 38th parallel only one week
after the start of the• greatest
Communist offensive of the 11-
month-old war.
It was the first time in the
Korean war • that the r Eighth
Army had been able to bounce
back in a strong counterattack
immediately after repulsing a
massive Communist offensive,
reported AP correspondent Tom
Bradshaw. .
Communist losses had exceed:.
ed 60,000 men in six days on the
central front alone. Many more
thousands fell in the west or
were mowed down by devastat
ing air attacks.
Allied gains ranged up to 15
miles or more Wednesday, and
resulted in the capture of at
least two important road centers
and a strategic town control
ling power dams for Seoul.
Fear Iran May
Seek Soviet Aid
MOSCOW, May 23—(iP)---For
eign diplomats here fear the
Iranian situation is loaded with
dynamite which could blow up
world peace.
Some observers are of the
opinion there is a growing possi
bility Iran may turn to Soviet
Russia for advice, if not aid, in
operating the British run oil re
sources she has nationalized. The
heart of Russia's oil business is
at Baku, near the Iranian bor
der.
If the present confused situa
tion continues in Tehran, some
diplomats feel, Britain may. be
forced to send in Armed Forces
or relinquish completely her
Iranian oil interests.
But should she attempt to use
troops or warships, these diplo
mats say they believe Iran would
quickly replace Korea as the
greatest danger to world peace.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA
"certain safeguards" against a re
newal of Re d aggression and
will involve more, than just the
withdrawal of Chinese and UN
forces from Korea.
"The,. question of decision that
is going to have to be reached,"
he said, "is whether or not that
(withdrawal) is acceptable from
all angles—political, military and
so forth—and it - is going to in
volve more than just the' simple
things, that we both withdraw.
Bradley said from a military
viewpoint a withdrawal' by the
Chinese UN forces would leave
the Communists "in a more ad
vantageous position to renew the
conflict."
The chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff strongly suggested
that MacArthur should have re
signed his Far Eastern commands
before he began taking public is
sue with the Truman adminis
tration over Far East policy.
The five-star General declared
the MacArthur plan to bomb Red
China's supply , bases could not
be done effectively without at
tacking points in Russia—and
such attacks would * mean an
other big-scale war.
He also told the .Senate armed
services an d foreign relations
committees in their study of the
MacArthur ouster that:
There is danger -the -Russians
might move into oil rich Iran and
start another war. He named Yu
goslavia and Indo-China as other
danger points.
FEPC Bill
Passes House
HARRISBURG, May 23 (1?)
A controversial bill setting up a
Fair Employment Practices Com
mission in Pennsylvania passed
the House 'today by a lopsided
margin—after a six year fight.

ministration measure, banning
discrimination in employment or
union membership by a 160-38
vote.
A rousing two-hour debate pre
ceded the roll call. All dissenters
were Republicans.
The bill went to the Senate.
The` bill sets up a three-man
commission in Pennsylvania to
prevent discrimination in em
ployment or labor union member
ship because of race, creed, or
color. Violators would be subject
to a $lOOO fine or one year in

Dean Acheson
US Ready To
Talk Peace
--Acheson
WASHINGTON, May 23 (in—
Secretary of State Acheson to
day declared American readiness
to negotiate with the Chinese
Communists for a settlement of
the war in Korea. But he said
he knew - of no overtures from
the other - side.
His declaration was made at
his news conference in response
to questions about a speech made
by his chief subordinate for Far
Eastern affairs, Assistant Sec
retary of State Dean Rusk.
Rusk had called the Red re
gime "a colonial Russian govern
ment." In a speech in New York
Friday he also said the Chinese
Nationalist government on For
mosa represents the views of the
Chinese people "more authentic
ally" than does the Communist
administration.
Rusk's speech has been widely
interpreted as a change in United
States policy toward China, barr
ing Korean peace negotiations
with the Reds and firmly attach
ing the United States to General
issimo Chiang Kai-Shek on For
mosa.
Acheson denied in detail that
Rusk had declared an y new
policy, but when it came to the
words Rusk used, Acheson re
frained from endorsing them and
left the impression that he did
not consider 'them in all cases
well chosen.
House Committee
Votes Tax Increase
WASHINGTON, May 23 (/1 3 )—
A bitterly divided House ways
and means committee voted to
day to increase everybody's in
come tax I'2 l / 2 per cent and to slap
$730,000,000 additional excess
profits tax on corporations.
The committee's 10 Republican
members, overridden in the vot
ing by the 15 Democrats, angrily
charged that the changes were
"railroaded through" after the
majority members reached an
agreement at a secret caucus.
The flat 12 1 / 2 per cent boost in
individual income tax liabilities
would be somewhat easier on
smaller taxpayers than the com
mittee's original plan, and corre
spondingly tougher on those with
bigger incomes.

US Favors Stern
Moves In Korea
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y., May 23 —(R)-- Stronger military
measures against Red China plus diplomatic sanctions were report
ed today under active consideration by the American delegation in
the United Nations.
pritish sources made it clear London would oppose such steps
vigorously if the Americans eventually decide to advance them as
concrete proposals for the UN sanctions committee next week.
The British feel that economic
sanctions, approved last Friday
by the UN Genera] Assembly,
are enough for the present stage.
The American delegation• so
far has not received the approval
of the State Department for any
ideas on the next steps. But the
following possibilities are evi
dent:
1. Th e General Assembly
could be asked to issue a new
appeal to all members of the UN
to contribute
,more troops to the
war in Korea.
2. UN members could be asked
also to chip in more ships and
planes to help repel the aggres
sion of the Communists in Korea.
3. The 17 UN members which
so far have recognized Red
China could be asked to break
off recognition, or at least cut
down the diplomatic representa
tion to a few minor officials...
House Acts
To Amend
Local fax
HARRISBURG, May 23 (W)—
A House committee surprised the
administration today by approv
ing a bill exempting non-resident
workers from paying local wage
taxes.
Rep. Charles C. Smith, Repub
lican House leader, promptly ask
ed Chairman Howard F. Boorse
(R-Montgomery) for re-consider
ation of the vote by the munici
pal corporations committee.
Boose refused and the measure
was later reported to the House
from committee. Smith said he
acted because Philadelphia would
lose $10,000,000 annually from its
wage tax under the bill.
The non-resident tax legisla
tion is closely tied in with Gov.
John S. Fine's proposed state in
come tax bill, now deadlocked in
the Senate by action of the Re
publican caucus.
AIM--
(Continued from page one)
the charges with only circumstan
cial evidence "that wouldn't
stand up in court."
Galati admitted that if the evi
dence was considered separately
there probably "would be no ev
idence," but when considered to
gether there was in his mind no
question but that there was un
lawful action.
Blair Green, former state party
candidate for All-College presi
dent, supported Galati's right to
publicize the matter, but said he
felt there had been no illegal
political pressure brought to bear.
He said that he, himself, had
been approached by several Lion
and State party members indi
vidually.
In addition Krasnansky
charged Galati with trying to
break up and discredit AIM to
obtain a seat on All-College Cab
inet for West Dorm Council. Gal
ati denied the charge, stating that
since an amendment to the AIM
constitution was adopted return
ing 40 per cent of the AIM funds
to the individual councils, he had
been in complete accord.
Stoudt, one of the four men
tioned in the Galati attack, asked
if Galati had asked any members
of the board prior to the meeting
if they had been approached by
any political cliche. Galati re
plied that •he had not, but that
he had information to the effect
that such action had gone on. He
failed to elaborate.
Galati did not remain at the
meeting longer than to present
his statement and submit to ques
tioning. He left before the motion
was passed by the board.
Truman Asks
8 1 / 2 Billion For
Foreign Aid
WASHINGTON, May 23 (p)—
President Truman is expected to
ask Congress tomorrow for about
$8,500,000,000 to strengthen near
ly 50 foreign countries against
world communism.
A record sum of $6,250,000,000
would be earmarked for gifts of
American weapons and military
equipment to 20 foreign countries
in the North Atlantic, Mediter
ranean, and Far Eastern areas.
An additional $1,650,000,000
would be set aside to finance eco
nomic aid to Western Europe
under the fourth and last year
of the Marshall plan. Most of
these funds, however, would go
to step up local arms output in
nine North Atlantic pact coun
tries.
