New ties between the city and

For all its size and strength.
American Industry is groaning and
straining today like an over-ioaded
elephant under the massive weight
of the new rearmament program.
Actually, that program has li-
mited objectives. It is not an all-
oat effort.
The master plan is to create fa-
cilities for tremendous production
of war-weapons, but not to produce
all the weapons themselves unless
a war should make them neces-
port and so on is relatively low.
Even so, production engineers
generally agree that the task of
rearming Is tougher this time than
it was in 1941 Some are doubtful
about the ability of industry to
meet present targets Others ssy
the situation, poor until recently,
is now improving. Still others take
the point of view: "You either re-
arm. completely, or you don't.
This business of trying to carry
water on both shoulders won't
work."
In some important respects, the
United States is much better able
to meet the challenge of defense
today than it was in 1941.
Industry is much bigger, mean-
ing that many more factories
have expanded or come into exis-
tence. with- millions of additional

But against these assets, here

ment that the Chinse Reds have no
more than "an almost hopeless
chance of utlimate victory."
He was no more hopeful of Allied
chances for victory .

ther advances would militarily ben-

MacArthur predicted the stale-
mate under these conditions which
he said now prevail:
1. "No diminution of the enemy's
flow of ground forces and materiel
to the Korean battle area.”
2. "No major additions to our or-
ganizational strength."
3. "Continuation - of the existing

West Opposes
Soviet Wording
By EDDY GILMORE
PARIS, March 7. t—United
States, British and French depu-
ties faced the Russians today with
a solid front against proposed Sov-
iet wording for a foreign minis-
ters’. meeting agenda.
As the third session of the dep-
uties meeting got under way, in-
formed sources said the West was
determined not to give ground on
the phrasing of the German issue.
The Russians have proposed that
a future foreign ministers' meet-
ing discuss “fullfillment by the
four powers of the Potsdam agree-
ment regarding the demilitariza-
tion and the prohibition of remili-
tarization of Germany.”
The sources said that to accept
| this, the West would hive to aban-
don in advance any plans for re-
* arming Western Germany against
the threat of Communist aggres-
• sion. This would amount to ac-
cepting the entire Soviet point of
view on Germany.
Ambassadors in Parts of the U.
S., Russia and Britain accompan-
ied the deputies today as the
meeting started under the chair-
manship of Soviet Deputy Foreign
Minister Andrei Gromyko The
western deputies had consulted
earlier.
Distrubed by Gromyko's propa-
ganda-making tactics, the western
deputies were reported contemplat-
ing whether to turn these meetings
into a knock-down and drag-out
propaganda battle with Russia. To-
day's meeting might supply the
answer.
At Russian insistence, the dep-
uties are supposed to discuss only
the technical aspects of the agen-
da and not go into the meat of
the problems themselves. : 1
Thus the deputies could agree
the foreign ministers should dis-
cuss a peace treaty for Germany
but could not themselves talk
about the content of such a treaty.
At yesterday's meeting, how-
ever, western sources reported,
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister
Andrei Gromyko insisted on talk-
ing about the substance of prob-
lems. And he insisted he was right
in doing so.
The deputies of the United
States, Britain and France count-
ered they were not authorized to
hold such discussions. One inform-
ant said they would need new in-
structions from their governments
if they were to take up such ques-
tions.
This new disagreement on defini-
tion fostered a wave of pessimism
smong the western delegates.
Even the French, who had gone
into the conference with high hopes
for a successful conclusion, felt the
task now is going to be much more
difficult
There was no question of giving
up, however. A British spokesman
emphasised that in the first two
meetings, talks have not really

TOKYO, March 7. (PP)—United Nations forces attacked
today on 55-mile front in Central and Western Korean behind
strong aerial and artillery support.
It was a general assault-in crisp, clear weather. Units of
all three corps in the U.S Eighth Army took part.
Initial Red resistance was described as bitter. The Reds
even mounted a counter-assault on the eastern flank. It rolled
South Korean troops back one' *
to three miles.
A battalion of the famous
27th Wolfhound Regiment of
the 25th Division paced the at-
tack with a crossing of the
twisting Han River east of
Seoul at 6;15 a.m. (4:15 p.m.
EST, Tuesday!------------
The Wolfhounds hit the Red side
of the stresm in three waves. Oth-
er American elements surged
across on the left and right. Oppo-
sition during the first hour was
light. But then the Reds opened up
with mortsrs, machineguns and
artillery.
East of the crossing points, the
U. S. First Marine Division, four
American infantry divisions snd
their attached Allied elements
pushed off.
TAKES HILL
The U. S. 24th Division, on the
Wolfhound right flank, took one
hill but aa encountered stiff Chi-
nese opposition on two others.
And on the 24th‘s right flank, Bri-
tish troops ran into dug in Reds
north of the lateral Yongdu-Hoeng-
song road.
A. P. Correspondent William C.
Barnard reported “the thunder of
artillery was constant all along
the front backing up the attack.
Planes were swooping down on
the battle line from early morn-
tag.”
Allied big guns on the western
front front pounded the Chinese
Reds east of Seoul with 50,000
rounds. Shortly before the assault
boats shoved off 148 artillery
pieces poured 7,000 rounds into
the Reds in 20 minutes.
A field dispatch said the bar-
rage stunned the Chinese on the
north bank of the river, and added
that they "began surrendering in
numbers." •
U. S. 10th Corps Headquarters
reported the Marines. In the mid-
section of the central front, had ad-
vanced more than a mile along
ridges paralleling the road north of
Hoengsong.
A. P. Correspondent John Ran-
dolph said the Marines, five miles
north of Hoengsong, were attack-
ing crests 1.000 feet above the val-
ley floor. He sold the dug-in Chi-
nese were lighting a savage rear-
guard action
The battle was fought over hard-
packed snow remaining from a six-
inch snowfall Tuesday.
General MacArthur visited the
front shortly after the push began.
The attack line ran from several
Han River crossing points east of
Seoul to an area north of Pangnim,
some 55 miles to the east.
There was speculation at first
that the Red counterthrust, which
proceeded news of the general Al-
lied attack, might be the forerun-
ner of an expected Red counterof-
fensive.
However, A. P. Correspondent
Tom Stone reported that the Red
attacks seemed aimed at relieving
North Korean Third Corps in front
of the U. S. Seventh Division.
Shivers Asks
$2 Million for
Civil Defense
By BQ BYERS
AUSTIN. March 7. (—Gov. Al-
lan Shivers today recommended
the Legislature appropriate 82 mil-
lion for civil defense emergency
use.
He told the House Appropriations
Committee an additional (100,000
should be allocated tor administra-
tion of the state civil defense set-
up.
The governor said Texas needs
a “full-scale war plan that ought
to be ready to go into action
like that" — and he snapped hi#
fingers.
Shivers, together with the stata
coordinator of civil defense, Wil-
11am L, McGill, outlined the state’s
role in the preparedness program
at the request of the committee,
which Is nearly ready to submit
the major appropriation bills.
"I know how hard the legisla-
ture is scratching for funds, and
two million, dolars is two million
dolars,” said the governor. "But
if the money la not available, I
hope the Legislature will pass this
appropriation as a deficiency.”
"I think Texas can and ought to
be ready for any emergency that
might occur.”
He suggested that any money
appropriated for immediate use
should do "double duty” by being
used not only for civil defense but
for practical everyday purposes.
Aa an example, be said money for
a civil defense communications sys-
tem would be allocated to the De-
partment of Public Safety, where
the radio system would be useful
after the emergency ends.
Shivers reported the federal gov-
ernment is considering a civil de-
fense program which would give
Texas about 11 million dollars in
matching funds.
Of this amount, (4.062.000 would
be available for rescue equipment
including fire fighting apparatus;
4445.000 for mobile support units
which- would be able to move in
and help evacuate stricken areas;
and $8,800,000 for protective shelt-
ers.
ACCEPTANCE UNCERTAIN
Slight Wind Brings
‘Norther’ to Town
The long-awaited norther hit

However, there may still be some
hope for the cold front to get here
this week end.
Iran Premier
Assassinated
By ROBERT B. HEWETT
TEHRAN. Iran. March 7. —
Iran's reform-seeking American-
backed Premier AM Razmara was
assassinated by gunmen today at
a mosque in Tehran's bazaar dis-
trict.
Shah Reza Pahlevi, after con-
ferring with close advisers, named
minister without portfolio. Khalil
Fahimt to be actingpremier. Fab.
imi, 70, is a veteran political fig.
ure.
The cabinet meanwhile met in
emergency session.
A government communique sign-
ed by Fahlmi identified the assas-
sin only ss a "certain man" and
said he was arrested immediately.
The communique said the cabinet
would continue in office under his
supervision and called on all of-
ficials to "carry out their duties
with the utmost strength."
All sources agreed the Com-
munists were not involved in the
assasination. *
Although Razmara came to powS
er with American support, he had
become increasingly conciliatory to
the Soviet Union, Iran’s northern
neighbor.
Labor Submits Its
Mobilization Plan
WASHINGON, March 7. —
Top labor leaders came up today
with a formula for solving their
squabble with the administration
over the mobilization program,
but there was no sign so far it
would be accepted.
It appeared likely to figure in a
conference which Senator Humph-
rey (D-Minn) booked with Defense
Mobilizer Charles E. Wilson to sup-
port labor's demand for a policy-
making role in the defense mobili-
zation effort.
Wilson, fresh from a conference
with President Truman, agreed to
talk over at lunch with Humphrey
the walkout of labor's top men
from the program.
In ordering those men out last
week, the United Labor Policy
Committee (ULPC)—which repre-
sents moat of organized labor-
blasted Wilson’s handling of mo-
bilization and charged th. pro-
gram was dominated by big busi-
ress.
The ULPC meanwhile laid down
these conditions for its further par-
ticipation in the program: A new
board to handle labor disputes aa
well as wage policy, relaxation of
'he ten per cent ceiling on wages,
tying the ceiling to the cost of
lying. Other differences would be
worked out later.
Wilson discussed the situation
with Mr. Truman at Key West,
Fla . yesterday and said afterward
neither he nor the President knew
what all the shouting by labor was
about
IN AGREEMENT
Wilson also declared at Mr. Tru-
man's vacation headquarters that
neither hsd "the slightest Ides”
when organized labor might come
back into the fold. Mr. Truman
and be are in general agreement.
Wilson added, that "nothing and
nobody must interfere" with the
mobilization program.
The President's only Inter-
est. Wilson said. Is to get produc-
tion snd strength that will enable
this country to maintain peace.
That objective was the main sub-
ject of their discussion, Wil-
son added.
The labor committee sent s del-
egation to confer with Economic
Stabilization Director Eric John-
ston yesterday, and it will meet
again tomorrow, on ways to mend
the seemingly hopeless break.
Johnston called in the manage-
ment members of his labor-man-
agement advisory council today to
talk over the proposals made by
the labor leaders yesterday. The
major question is whether s re-
formed wage board should handle
disputes as well ss wage policy.
Some industry officials have said
that would conflict With the Taft-
Hartley Act.
The delayed "big push" waa re-
ported to still be in British Colum-
his Wednesday morning, the U. S.
Weather Bureau observer at Muni-
cipal Airport said.
Part of the "high renter” of
the front is spilling over into Wy-
oming. and there la some possibili-
ty that it may reach here by Fri-
day or Saturday, the weatherman
said.
Abilenians sweltered in 87-degree
weather Tuesday as the thermo-
meter reached a record high for
the year.
The weatherman says the tern,
perature will be back in the 75
area thia afternoon, and a low of
40 can be expected for tonight.
