KOREA WAR:
U. S. Fights
Eight days after the Communists
' at North Korea invaded United
! States sponsored South Korea the
people of the democratic nations
i were breathing a little easier, with
! only an occasional shiver pf fear
■weeping down their spines,
i Developments in the crisis, which
I could yet plunge the world into
World War III, came quickly after
the initial invasion.
! Using tanks and planes which the
southern forces lacked, the Commu-
nists swept through Seoul and with-
in 12 miles of Suwon, important air
base of South Korea.
J The army of South Korea made
■tand after stand, but could not halt
(he Russian made tanks and planes
used by the Communists. Within 48
hours after the opening attack
South Korea was in a difficult posi-
tion and for a time it appeared the
Invaders would sweep south with
less and less opposition.
Then came the historical order of
President Truman sending United
States navy and air force units to
the aid of South Korea. It was fol-
lowed two days later with an order
■ending U.S. troops to the battle
line.
Military operations developed
quickly and with surprising effi-
ciency. Observers throughout the
world were astonished at the speed
with which the United States got
fighting forccs into the field.
Following the President's first
order, the air force in Japan and
naval units in that area, were put
tinder command of General Mac-
Arthur. The planes immediately at-
tacked Communist troop concentra-
tions, tanks and planes. The navy
blockaded the Korean coast.
Within 24 hours after the sec-
ond order, troops had landed in
South Korea and were well on their
way to the front.
Meanwhile, the South Korea
army had rallied and established
a temporary line along the Hon
river. The Communist army
crossed the river at one point and
advanced toward Suwon.
General MacArthur has at his
disposal in Japan four U.S. infantry
divisions, consisting of 15,000 men
cach, a number of tanks and heavy
guns. Whether or not he will use
all of them depends upon develop-
ments within the next week or two,
Observers reported.
The military picture in Korea re-
mains confused and the future de-
pends almost entirely upon what
the Russians decide to do in the
way of aid to the North Korea
army.
Responsible sources report Amer-
ican and South Korea forces, usinR
tanks, planes and heavy guns which
the United States will provide,
should check and then drive out
the Communists. Experience and
material throws the advantage to
the democracies—that Is, if the
Soviet Union decides not to take an
active part in the affair.
MURDER:
Admits Arson
Newspaper readers throufihout
the country forgot the Korean eri-
sis long enough to express horror
over the confession of a 20-year-old
Circleville, O., youth who admitted
setting the Ringling Brothers circus
fire in Hartford, Conn., in 1944 that
killed 168 person's and injured 412
others.
The youth, Robert Dale Segree,
also admitted that he was person-
ally responsible for the slaying of
four persons.
The youth admitted setting be-
tween 25 and 30 major fires
in Portiand, Me., between 1939 and
1946 and other fires in New Hamp-
shire and Ohio.
He confessed killing a watchman
who caught him setting a fire in a
warehouse in Portland, Me , March
18, 1943; a 12-year-old boy, strangled
to death on the beach at Cape Cot-
tage, Me., in 1943; a 9-year-old girl,
beaten to death with a stone during
a fit of anger, and a Japanese boy,
killed in Japan in 1949 while Segree
was in the United States army of
occupation.
Segree gave this explanation of
the fires:
A flaming red Indian horseman
awakens him at night and tells
him to set the fires. Then nis mind
goes blank and the next thing he
remembers is that the fires have
been started. The red Indian then
is off his horse, lie drives Segree
away with taunts and sneers.
RAILROADS:
Strike Goes On
The government asked striking
A K.L. switchmen to end their w;iln-
out against five midwest and west-
ern railroads because of the "cur-
rent critical developments" a ril-
ing from the Korean war, but the
railroaders refused.
They offered to help the rail-
road move any material the gov-
ernment deemed essential. The
union said the reference to patriot-
•am "borders an intuit."
Red Amazons
These poker-faced girls, held
at a South Korea guardhouse,
were members of a Communist
guerrilla band that crossed the
border and which was finally
driven back. The girls said they
were conscripted, as guerrilla
fighter* when they proved too
weak to help pull plows.
EUROPE:
A Case of Shakes
Europe suffered a severe case of
"shakes" following the outbreak of
the Korean conflict. Europeans saw
the horrors of World War II as it
progressed across that continent
from east to west, and what the?
saw will not soon be forgotten.
With this memory and a strong
belief that Russia had finally come
from behind the iron curtain to
fight World War III, the nerves of
Europeans were at the breaking
point for the first week of the crisis.
As the situation developed, how-
ever, the tension cased, but by no
means vanished. In many areas,
Berlin for instance, the majority
felt World War III had begun. In
other sections the thought persisted
that it was a dangerous situation,
but with hopes it would not set the
world afire with war
Some of the reactions;
Vienna—Austrians were begin-
ning to breathe easier after the first
week of war jitters, but there re-
mained widespread fear of war.
There was a notable surge of
growing confidence in the United
Nations and the United States.
Frankfurt—The Germans, both
east and west, were plainly scared
at the possibility ef the Korean
struggle drawing Europe into a
shooting war.
Berlin—War fears in Berlin ap-
parently were worse than at the
start of the Soviet blockade of Ber-
lin two years ago.
London — Extremely disturbed
over the possibility of war, but ap-
proved the action of the United
States. The thought persisted that
the Russians are not ready for a
full scale war.
UN/TED STATES:
A United Front
More than anywhere else in the
world, the Korean incident was up-
permost in the minds of Ameri-
cans. There was a great fear of war
in all sections of the country. But
most surprising reaction was the
united front presented to the rest
of the world.
Americans in every walk of life
tpproved of President Truman's ac-
tion. One and all approved the deci-
sion that told communism that the
United States would stand by Its
commitments and the point had
been reached where democracy j
would make a stand against total-
itarianism.
Even congress, which has pre-
sented a confusing picture of in-
consistencies during the Truman
administration, approved of the
chief executive's action.
Senator Taft of Ohio, apparently
unwilling to rise above the political
view, took the opportunity to de-
mand the resignation of Secretary
of State Acheson. Many observers
found his senate speech untimely.
He demanded the resignation of
Acheson on the grounds his policy
In the Far East had been reversed
completely by President Truman
and he had, therefore, been opera- j
ting under the wrong policy. For ;
thai reason t.e insisted Mr. Acheson
had outlived his usefulness.
Reo. Vito Mircantonio, noted for
his Communist leanings, added his
voice of protert, out most people
were inclined to consider the source
and let it go at that.
TAXES:
Howe Votes Cut
The 1090 tax bUl, much to the
amazement of Washington observ-
ers, won the approval of the house
ef representatives with a top-heavy
vote of 375 to 14. As the measure
went to the senate, observers were
not making any predictions.
The blU calls for $1,010,000,000 of
reductions in the excise taxes an-
nually paid on furs, jewelry, lug-
gage, toilet articles, admissions,
communications, transportation and
many other items.
The revenue loss, however, is
offset by provisions to Increase
corporation taxes $433,000,000 .an-
nually and close loopholes in other
tax laws.
Observers were making no pre-
dictions about senate action be-
cause of complexities stemming
from the Korean war. Many sena-
tors have indicated the tax prob-
lem would be much different and
any relief might be ruled out if the
situation developed demanding In-
creases In this country's military
budget.
The "republicans have been fight-
ing the measure because of the
proposed increase in corporation
taxes.
Also In the tax news, federal rev-
enue In May soared nearly half
a billion dollars above that of the
same month a year ago.
But the total for the first 11
months in the fiscal year ending
July 1 was still more than a billion
below that of the corresponding
period of the preceding fiscal year,
the internal revenue bureau re-
ported.
The revenue In May from individ-
ual and corporation income taxes
and from employment taxes was
well up last year. For example, the
Individual income taxes collected
In May were $1,878,357. 644, as com-
pared with $1,604,794,824 in May,
1949.

DRAFT LAW:
Boys Must Register
President Truman signed the
draft bill into law. It gives him un-
restricted authority to order in-
ductions resumed at any time and
empowers him to put the National
Guard and the reserves on active
duty any time he sees fit to do so.
The law runs until July 9, 1951,
and mules from 19 to 26 are subject
to induction.
Observers were not much sur-
prised at the extension of the selec-
tive service law after the Korean
incident hit the headlines. Before
that, however, congress was in a
knock down drag out battle over
the bill.
When first considered last spring
there was considerable doubt that
the lawmakers would grant a con-
tinuation. At the minimum, they
wanted to limit the President's pow-
er to start inductions going again.
The Korean situation, however,
brought about quick agreement.
GAMBLING:
Blow to Bookmakers
A senate subcommittee investi-
gating gambling throughout the
country have released the names
of more than 2.000 subscribers to
racing news wire services.
The move was newsworthy In that
it should prove "useful" to local
law enforcement officials in com-
batting gambling.
Senator Ernest W. McFarland,
chairman of the committee, said
his group had no proof that any
particular individual on the list
was a bookmaker. Me pointed out
that some listings—for newspapers,
radio stations and the like—obvious-
ly fall outside the gambling realm.
But he added:
"I believe the majority of those
listed are bookmakers."
The committee has announced
plans to hold hearings this month
In Miami, St. Louis, Kansas City
and Chicago.

Polities
A new movement was seen in
the Republican party following a
meeting In Philadelphia of repre-
sentatives from 10 states and Is-
suance of a "declaration of prin-
ciples,"
Henry V. Poor, former president
of the New York Young Republi-
cans. Mid the group drafted the
"declaration «f principle*" as •
basts of "revitalising the RepufcU-
ceg party."
EMPLOYMENT:
Neor Record
Employment in the United Sta.es
In June soared to the highest levels
reached since the record month of
July, IMS, statistics from the bu-
reau of the census revealed.
Agricultural employment rose to
0,040.POO compared with 8,M2,n00
in May. Nonagricultural employ-
ment rose by 730,000 to a total of
52,436,000 between May and Jma.
For five straight months Iks era-
Btoymeot tea increased.
IF A MAN can do one thing well,
he can usually find his place in
the world. Life being as short as it
is, and the possibility of misfits
being what it is, it may also be
fair to say that
many a man who
does one thing well
could have done
something else bet-
j ter. if he had had
the chance. In
j Grey's "Cleg y,"
' you remember the
j line, "Some mute
! inglorious Milton
here may rest"
i That is, in a country church-yard
may rest the bones of eome hired
man who, if be had had another
kind of start, might have been a
world-famous scholar and poet like
John Milton.
• • *
Triple-Threat Men
WHAT in football Is called a
"triple-threat man" is to be
found off the gridiron, sometimes,
in real life. Once in a great while
there arises a man who not only
"could have done" more than one
thing well, but who because of spe-
cial circumstances and opportunities
actually does many things well.
Such persons are rare, and
far above the average. Ordi-
nary men take such a long time
becoming experts in one line
that they simply don't have j
time in their lives to be expert
at other things too. But there
are geniuses with many sides, |
or perhaps men gifted with
many talents plus an extraordi-
nary capacity for hard work.
In our times there is Albert
Schweitzer, outstanding not only as
a scholar but as a musician, doctor
and missionary. The President of
Harvard at the present time is a I
noted chcmist as well as a disting-
uished executive. Robert E. Lee
was a brilliant soldier who also, as
an educator, left his mark on his
native state to this day. Leibnitz
| was a diplomat and philosopher;
S.B.F. Morse not only invented the
telegraph but was a painter of un-
usual ability; the man who thought
up the idea of savings banks was a
minister of the Gospel: King David
was s poet, musician, general and
monarch.
• • O
Samuel Ihe Versatile
SAMUEL, Judge of Israel, was
another stieh man. "Jack of
| all trades but master of none" does
not describe him, for he was master
of whatever he did. He has gone
down in history as a prophet—what
in our times is called a preacher;
but this was by no means all. He
served his generalion in other ways
as well.
He was the rhlef executive
of the people, king without the
title. Though possessed of dic-
tatorial powers, when during a
wave of unpopularity he re-
signed, and dared his critics to
produce one single case of dis-
honesty or graft, none was
brought against him.
He was a circuit judge, going
from one city to another dispensing
justice. He acted a'; a priest, indeed
as the high priest of his people.
We know of one occasion when he |
led his people in battle, and he was
as successful as if war had always
been his business. He was a king- :
maker, for God entrusted to him
twice the delicate mission of select-
ing Israel's king.
... |
Times and the Man
TWO thoughts strike one who reads
the story of Samuel. One is the
way his great and many-sided pow-
era were used for public service. |
Put into modern terms, he could
have made a fortune if he had
"stuck to private practice" and
used hi* talents for himself. But t
no time and in no way did Samuel
work for Samuel. He worked for
God and his country, and he died
a poor but honored man.
One ef the greatest need* of
the nation todav Is men of Sam-
uel's calibre, triple-threat men.
We have plenty of small-calibre
bureaucrats, and we have plenty
of large-calibre men who are quite
selfish. How few unselfish large-
calibre men there are! The other
thought is that the times and the
man go together. A man's greatness
comes in large part from his oppor-
tunities.
John Milton helped make England
—but England also helped make
him. Samuel helped make Israel,
but at some other stage in history,
he might have lived and died a
country priest.
Let no man think himself self-
made; not even a great man. With-
out the God who endows him with
his gifts, without the times that
call forth the gifts, even the most
gifted shrink to little or nothing.
