Guardsmen
WASHINGTON,. Feb.
The Army announced today that
enlisted men called, to active duty
with their National' Guard or or
ganized reserve units may be re
leased from one to four months
earlier than their scheduled .24
months.

ean War.
Two of them are now in Europe.
They are the 28th diVision from
Pennsylvania and the 43rd divis
ion from Connecticut, Rhode Is
land, and Vermont.
Two divisions are in the Far
East. They are"the 40th from Cali
fornia and the 45th from Okla
homa.
The regimental combat teams
called up in the early autumn of
1950 are the 196th from South Da
kota and the 278th from Tennes
see.
Unit release of National Guard
anti-aircraft battalions, the Army
said, will start in April and will
be completed by May, 1953. Regu
lar Army anti-aircraft battalions

Murray Claims
Trying to Incite
NEW YORK, Feb. 15—(AP)---
Big steel retorted "poppycock and
balderash" today to CIO Presi
dent' Philip Murray's claim that
the industry is 'trying to provoke
a. bloody, nationwide steel strike.
In an angry speech, Murray
told a wage stabilization hearing:
"I accuse the steel industry of
deciding in advance not to engage
in real collective• bargaining;
seeking to provoke a steel strike
or the threat of a steel strike, in
order to place additional pressure
on the United States govern
ment for new and completely un
justified price increases."
Recalls Bloody '3os
Murray claimed industrial his
tory would show "the extent to
which the industry •has gone in
ati effort
.to provoke disorder and
perhaps cause strikes."
Recalling t h e bloody labor
struggles of the 1930'5, Murray
said of his 650,000 CIO United
Steelworkers:
"They are fearful of the return
Of gunmen. They are afraid •that
the use of ammunition may again
be brought into' play.
"And the provocative nature of
the statements presented to this
panel (by the industry) on. the
course of these proceedings might.

Navy Prepared
For Sub Threat
WASHINGTON, Feb. 15—(W)—
Admiral William M. Fechteler
said tonight that although Soviet
Russia now has between 300 and
400 submarines, the U.S. Navy
is prepared to meet the threat
successfully "if it comes."
The chief of naval operations
emphasized, however, that enemy
underseas attacks would not be
beaten off without early Ameri
can losses.
Fechteler told the National Geo
graphic Society in a prepared
address that Germany entered
World War II with only 50 sub
marines and came "perilously
'near" to winning through its Ü
boat assaults on Allied shipping.
Many Russian subtharines • to
day, he said, are better than the
most improved German .designed
craft.
"These facts have been of great
concern to the Navy and, have
caused us to concentrate heavily
upon the submarine problem—a
problem which is exclusively na=
val," Fechteler said.
Colorado contains 43 mountain
peaks which are more than 14,-
000 feet above sea level.

In denying Murray's accusa
tions, Stephens said their "very
extravagance underscores their
lack of foundation."
The steel executive said Mur
ray expressed similar fears in
1942. At that time, Stephens said
he labelled them "poppycock and
balderdash." He said he was re
peating that phrase again this
time.
Stephens accused Murray of
living in the past, adding:
"Most good Americans have
surmounted the past."
The CIO steelworkers have
threatened a Feb. 24 strike to
back up demands for an 182
cents an hour wage increase.
They also are seeking -21 other
items, including a guaranteed an
nual wage.
The steel industry has argued
before the .WSB panel since Jan.
10 that it cannot meet these -de

calling this a sure way of touch
ing off a dangerous new round of
national inflation.
Living in Past
New Red Proposal
Topic of Truce Talks
MUNSAN, Kore a, Saturday,
Feb.' 16 —(1?) Top Allied and
Communist truce teams meet to
day to consider the new Red
proposal for a Korean peace con
ference. The session was regarded
as of great importance.
The meeting was schedtiled for
10 a.m. (8 p.m., EST, Friday) at
Panmunjom. Staff officers, edg
ing toward agreement on minor
armistice issues were meeting
afterwards.
The full dress sessions recessed
Tuesday after the five-member
United Nations team rejected a
Communist proposal to include a
sweeping discussion of Asian
problems in- the agenda of a post
war political parley.
Joy Has No Comment
Vice Adm. C. Turner Joy in
sisted that only problems related
to Korea be taken up at such a
conference. But he reminded the
Reds that whatever the decision
reached at Panmunjom, it would
be only a recommendation to the
governments concerned—and not
necessarily binding on peace con
ference delegates.
Joy returned to this advance
camp froin Tokyo Friday. He had
no comment on his two-day. hud
dle with Gen. Matthew B. Ridg
way, Allied supreme commander,
and two high-ranking officials
from Washington. One of the of
ficials, Gen. John E. Hull, Army
vice chief of staff, said 'he had
brought no instructions from the
U.S. capital concerning the ar
mistice talks. With him was U.
Alexis Johnson, deputy assistant
secretary of state for the Far
East.
Allies Discuss Prisoner Plan
In the lower-level truce ses
sions, staff officers dealing labor
iously with the prisoner exchange
issue reported some agreement
Friday on minor differences.
Col. George W.- Hickman and
other Allied staff officers talked
for more than three hours on a
revised nine-point exchange plan
presented by the Reds Thursday.
• The Communists stood pat on
their refusal to permit voluntary
repatriation of prisoners, the main
und6cided issue. They have been
saying for weeks that each side
must return its prisoners, even if
the individual does not want to
return.

With Tanks
SEOUL, Saturday, Feb. 16—(W)
—An Allied raid by scores of
tanks into the central front town
of Kumsong killed nearly 100
Reds, wounded 88 more and blew
up 50 Red bunkers, officers re
ported today.
The raid Friday into the rub
bled no-man's land city followed
an intense artillery barrage.
With high velocity guns firing,
the tanks pushed through Kum
song and attacked bunkers and
trenches on nearby ground.
Allied artillery Friday pounded
Red central and eastern front po
sitions from which a series of
sharp Communist at tac k s had
been launched.
The guns opened up a few hours
after noon. In less than half an
hour 500 rounds had burst on
Red positions in the Mundung
valley sector of the eastern front.
Approximately 200 Comm u
nist troops hit two Allied hill posi
tions southeast of Kumsong on
the central front and took one hill.
Allied units later reoccupied it
without opposition. A. field dis
patch said there were signs of
"large enemy losses."
In the air, Allied planes swept
over North Korea. One Russian
made MIG jet was damaged in a
brief clash between 19 U.S. Sabre
Jets and 30 MIGs.
