Tokyo, Jan. 15 — United Na-
tions troops have gained more
12 miles on the front south
iSeoul. Tank-led assault forces
a«e recaptured three towns —
Osan, Kumyangjang and Chon.
Associated Press Correspondent
Stan Swinton wrote that there
jvas a strange lack of Chinese re-
sistance. Not until the allies
stormed Kumyangjang at dusk
did they run into any real fight-
ing.
Allied planes had spotted fresh
enemy emplacements at Kum-
yangjang. And the allied ground
forces were ready for them. They
swept on some 12 miles north of
the town.
Qsan was taken without firing
a shot. It was at Osan that the
first American soldier, died in the
Korean war. The town has chang-

ONE MONTH FREEZE
Government Bans New
Commercial Buildings
(Bn AuocitUd Prtu)
Washington, Jan. 15 — The
government has baned the con-
struction of new stores, restau-
rants, office and other commercial
buildings until February 15th. Af-
ter that date, each ntw commer-
cial structure must be authorized
by the National Production Au-
thority.
N-P-A issued the order to save
materials for; the mobilization pro-
gram. The order applies to new
construction “starts” and not to
building already under way.
During the one-month freeze,
the N-P-A will grant building
permits only in emergency cases.
The regulations cover all the
following types of buildings: ho-
tels, banks, office buildings, gar-
j ages, service stations, retail stores,
warehouses and miscellaneous
commercial buildings, including
Korea. New troops, now training j those that also will provide living
jn the United States, will staftfor quarters. The order does not af-

ry are on tne way

But dffcritc the announcement
from Cofl^s, there was still a lot
of speculation about the reason
for the secret meetings in Tokyo.
There were some guesses that
the top brass might have discuss-
ed a/fitrther allied withdrawal 1
in KiAea — or even evacuation of
the peninsula:
Another unexplained move was
the sudden removal of Major
General Robert McClure as com-
mander of the Second Division.
During World War Two. McClure
was deputy chief of staff to Gen-
eralissimo Chiang Kai-shek. There
was also talk in Tokyo that the
Chinese Nationalists might be
used in the Korean fighting.

Poison Takes
Lives of Many
Dogs in Ciiy
Search for-the person, or per-
sons, who poisoned several dogs
in Sulphur Springs Friday night
and Saturday is continuing, Chief
of Police Vaughn Deaton disclos-
ed Monday.
Efforts to catch the dog killers
have proved fruitless thus far, he
stated.
At least eight dogs have perish-
ed from the poison, Chief Deaton
said, and possibly more have died
that have not been reported.. At
least one dog owner save^i his
pet’s life by rushing the.anirtial to
a veterinarian.
Chief Deaton reported that a
man said he saw a man and a
woman in an automobile toss out
poisoned meat during the week-
end. He was unable to give a
complete description, however.
Heavy fines can be imposed for
dog poisoning.

Washington, Jan. 15 — Most
Congress leaders back up Presi-
dent Truman’s proposal for pay-
as-you-go financing of heavy mili-
tary outlays. But there is sharp
difference of opinion in Congress
about increases for non-defense
spending.
For example, the top Republi-
can on the Senate Appropriations
Committee, Styles Bridges of
New Hampshire, has this to say:
“I am shocked to find that the
President’s 1951 budget provides
for the Fair Deal under the guise
of defense spending.”
And a newly elected Republi-
can Senator, Herman Welker of
Idaho, claims Mr. Truman’s bud-
get is aimed at putting into ef-
fect the welfare state theories
which Welker says were repudiat-
ed at the polls in November.
No comment yet from Senator
Robert Taft of Ohio. He wants
to study the budget message more
carefully. And Chairman Waiter
George of the Senate Finance
Committee also wants to study
the budget before taking any stand
on the proposal to boost taxes by
more than 16 billion dollars.

(By Attoriatrd Prtu)
Washington, Jan.' 15 — Presi-
dent Truman today in his mes-
sage to Congress asked the great-
est budget in U-S history except
during a time of ail-out war.
For the fiscal year 1952—that
is, ending June 30th, 1952—Mr.
Truman wants to spend 71-billion,
594-million dollars. According to
present tax laws the government
in fiscal 1952 would be able to
get some 55-billion, 138-million
dollars. Thus, unless there are
new taxes, the year would see a
deficit of 16-billion, 456-million
dollars.
Mr. Truman has made it clear
(By At tor rated Prut)
Washington, Jan. 15 — Here
is how the government plans
to spend your tax dollar dur-
ing the fiscal year ending June
30th, 1952. 58 cents of the tax
dollar would go for military ser-
vices. One dime would go for
foreign aid programs. Eight
cents would be required for in-
terest on the national debt.
Veterans benefits would take
seven cents. And all other ex-
penses of the government would
take 17 cents of thfetax dollar.
