U FUND
SLASH VOTE
Washington, Aug. 17 W—Presi-
bnt Truman today asked the Sen-
ate to make heavy slashes in the
federal aid highway funds voted
by the House.
Mr. Truman wrote Chairman
Dennis Chaves, D., N. M.. of the
8enate public works committee,
asking that the bill be cut by
1120,000,000 to the $500,000,000 he
originally requested in his Jan-
uary budget
Truman said he thought the ma-
' terial increase in the level <rf
federal highway aid is “inconsist-
ent with the effort to hold down
non-defense spending.*’
The president acknowledged that
the increases were voted by the
House before there was any cleat
indication of how' high defense
spending would be boosted because
of the Korean crisis.

Another chapter was added to
Texas fishing annals today—the
one about the lady fisherman
who caught a tarpon by boating
it to death with a hammer.
Witnesses claim Mrs. John
Heard of San Antonio actually
caught one like that yesterday.
The attractive woman who
won honors in the first day of
fishing of the tarpon rodeo
earlier in the week, went out (to
try her skill again yesterday.
She had been out only a short
time when her boat was “board-

uninvited by a large tarpon.
Mrs. Heard quickly grabbed a
hammer and beat the fish to
death—but not before it had
done censiderable damage to the
boat’s engine hood.

Sam Cleveland, district attor-

famed defense attorney, speech-
less at one point during the trial
of Grace Mathis White Tuesday
night, Aug. 15.
Myers, addressing the jury,
quoted poetry and quoted from
philosophers. He preceded his
argument with a prayer.
“There’s one juror on this jury
who also served on the Bagwill
jury,” Myers said. “Which one
is it? Hold up your hand.”
The jnror hold up his hand.
“That’s right,” Myers said.
“Mister, 1 have your picture. Do
you have my picture?’
The juror gavo a negative
shake of his head.
‘•Too bad,” Myers said. “You
should have a picture of me.”
Ho concluded his argument and
Sam Cleveland addressed the
jury. In the midst of his argu-
ment, he turned to Myers.
“I’m sorry to say that 1 don’t
have a picture of your bright and
shining eountenace to grace my
mantel,” he said. “I’d ba glad to
have one, and 111 pay the post-
age If you’ll send mo one.”
Myers grinned, and nodded his
head in assent.
Five American soldiers who sur-
vived the massacre will give evi-
dence against the captive.
High officers of the 1st Cavalry
Division said one wounded man
has positively identified the Com-
munist prisoner as the man who
ordered his comrades killed dur-
ing the hill battle.
The captive has been sent to
8th Army Headquarters for "high-
er echelon” handling of his case,
officers here said.
The man who identified the kill-
er for 1st Cavalry intelligence
officers was unavailable tonight,
but other survivors of the cold-
blooded killing told their story to
reporters in a hospital bore to-
night.
One young soldier said his unit
surrendered after it was overrun
by tanks on the blood-soaked
slopes of Hill 303.
He said troops carrying Rus-
sian tommy-guns came forward
and seized the rifles of the sur-
rendering troops.
“They stripped us down, took
our helmets and shoes, and tied
us with shoe laces,” he said. “They
said that if we were good
they would not shoot us.”
The American captives spent the
night on the hillside, bound hand
and foot and each man at least

“A couple of the guys—our

ors said. “1 think they beat them

About 9 or 10 a.m. today, U. S.
troops could be heard counter-at-
tacking up the hill, and the sur-
vivor said:
“We tried to talk (the North

was apples and American C rat-
ions.
“We started down the hill again,

“let the Dallas aob sisters have

A mass meeting was called in
the first step of a drive aimed at
getting the reform school trans-

APPEALS TO UN
FUR MORE MEN
WITHOUT DELAY
By BRUCE W. MUNN
UbIU4 Pru« Staff C«Tr«»»—4»nt
Lake Success, N. Y., Aug. 17 W!
—Gen. Douglas MacArthur appeal-
ed to United Nations member
countries today to build up the UN
ground forces in Korea “without
delay” in order to “bring the con-
flict to a successful conclusion
quickly.”
MacArthur’s appeal “to act
speedily” was contained in the sec-
ond report of the unified command,
which in effect is the United States
government, submitted to the Se-
curity Council this afternoon.
Before the council met to receive
the report from MacArthur's com-
mand, Soviet Delegate Jacob A.
Malik, who has obstructed debate
with delaying tactics as council
president Bince he ended the Rus-
sian boycott on Aug. 1, summoned
the members to an informal pri-
vate session.
No reason was given for the
sudden meeting, an hour before tha
council’s scheduled starting time
(at 1 p.m. CST). Observers spec-
ulated, however, that Malik may
have received new instructions
from the Kremlin which Would en-
able him to take a stand on tenta-
tive Indian proposals for a com-
mittee to establish the war aims
and peace settlement of the Ko-
rean conflict.
“The international character of
the operations in Korea has re-
ceived important emphasis, since
the preparation of the last report,
in the offers of combat forces made
by a nujnber of the members of
the UN,” MacArthur said.
Hopes For More Men
“But, it is my sincere hope that
the member nations of the UN
will, without delay, build up the
strength of our ground forces. To
bring the conflict to a successful
conclusion quickly, it is essential
for the member nations to act
speedily. The material utility of
each contribution is directly re-
lated to the rapidity with which it
is dispatched. Urgent attention,
therefore, should be given to the
arrival of organizations now in
being.”
The report was devoted chiefly
to the operational phases of the
Korean command, recapitulating
the fighting that had been reported
in his daily communiques, all of
which have been relayed to the
Security Council.
“The ground fighting,” said the
70-year-old supreme UN command-
er in the field, “continues to be of
a most savage character. The tena-
city and valor of our heavily out-
numbered forces rival the almost

SIMULTANEOUS
ASSAULTS BEGIN

Tokyo, Friday, A:
ug. 18 tin—
Tank-led Communist forces some
30,000 strong struck within 20
miles of Taegu today in an offen-
sive which sent South Korean
troops reeling back two to three
milea.
The assaqlt on t 15-mile front M
dented the Allied beachhead at its mark the start of a showdown
northeast corner. But a spokesman
at Gen. Douglas MacArthur’s head-
quarters said early today the set-
back north of Taegu did not appear
to bo a major breakthrough.
“As far as we know the North
Koreans still are pressing the
8oqth Korean positions in the
north,” the spokesman said. “The
South Koreans are giving some
ground, but we do net know wheth-
er it is a small penetration or
something bigger.”
Yaak Throat Begins
Southwest of Taegu, U. S. Ma-
rines and Infantry slashed into
the Communist bridgehead in the
elbow of the Naktong River in
what was described from the field
as the second big American offen-
sive push of the war.
The two battles appeared to
along the Naktong and on the ap-
proaches of Taegu.
The First Marine Brigade cap-
tured a strategic height at the
southwest corner of the Naktong
bridgehead In the fhrfct hours of
the offensive. The U. S. 24th Di-
vision overran Communist posi-
tions on the northern end of the
pocket. <* «. • ?'-■;>€ - j,} ry;V
But U. S. 8th Army Headquar-
ters reported that the North Ko-
rean drive toward -TVagu made
that sector at the northwest ear-
ner of the AlHed beachhead in
Korea “the most serious one.”
U n i t * d P r * s a Correspondent
Rutherfiffd Poate reported from
8th Army Headquarters that the
Communists opened their big push
between Waegwan end Kunwi, and
aimed ft squarely at Taegu. Wae-
Taegu, on the Naktong River, and
Kunwi is 25 miles north of the cap-
ital.
Tanka Lead Reds
Tanks led the Communist ad-
vance, and a heavy artillery bomb-
ardment softened up the Korean
Republican positions ahead of it.
U. S. Air Force scouts reported
that the front flamed for the whole
16 miles, and the enemy had moved
forward two to three miles in un-
specified sectors of the front.
IV North Koreans apparently
had shifted strength from the U. 8.
1st Cnvah-y front around Waegwan
to the north and east, expecting
to find lees.resistance by the Ko-
rean Republicans. •- • - V '
E The penetration of two to three
would put the Communist
gwan is 12 miles northwest oftivanguanl north of Taegu some 17,
miles from the capital, depending
on just where the biggest gains
were made.
A late dispatch from the Nak-
tong bridgehead area reported that
Pershing tanks of the Marine de-
tachment knocked out three Com-
munist tanks in a clash at twi-
light on the southern rim of the
pocket.
It said the Marines estimated
they killed at least 400 of the en-
emy on the first day of the at-
tack. They were driving into the
pocket in a northwesterly direction.
Their goal was a series of ridges

dominating the
the bridgehead.

lots knocked out three tanks in n
