Rliee Declares
Martial Law in
South Korea
BUSAN, Korea, (JP)— General
James A. Van Fleet, commander
of the U.S. Eighth Army, sped
here from Seoul Tuesday and
went into immediate conference
with President Syngman Rhee on
the South Korean executive’s
«,.« * *
declaration of martial law.
American embassy officials sat
in on the meeting.
The Eighth Army and the Uni
ted Nations have painstakingly
avoided South Korean internal
affairs, but always have been
ready to advise when asked.
Van Fleet is a personal friend
of Rhee and often has expressed
admiration of him.
Just before the session began,
Rhee issued a long-awaited public
statement explaining why he pro
claimed martial law in Pusan,
the temporary capital, and 21
counties in three southernmost
provinces.
He said his action—“necessary
and long overdue’’—was forced
by increasing guerrilla activities
in the region and was taken to
prevent public demonstrations
from becoming violent.

Hen Lays 10 Eggs In An
Hour, Dies of Overwork
CUDWORTH, Eng., (/P)—World
titlist Jennifer—the hen that laid
10 eggs in less than an hour—was
dead Wednesday from overwork.
The pink-eyed prolific chicken
hadn’t produced for farmer Char
lie Rogers for days. But he
brought her into his home in front
of the fire on Monday and Jenni
fer let loose—a jackpot of 10.
“Jenny spent Monday night in
her cardboard box and I tried to
make her eat,” Rogers’ daughter
explained. “But the laying effort
had been too much for her.”
Neither Jenny nor her 10 eggs
will provide a single morsel on
any dining table, despite Britain’s
food shortages.
“I’ve asked a taxidermist to
set Jenny up in a glass case with
those 10 eggs,” Rogers said.
Father: “Well, son, horw are

Son: Under water.”
Father: “What do you mean,
under water?”
Son: “They’re all below ‘C’
level.”

vicinity of Pusan,” he said. This
was a reference to the slaying of.
five U.S. soldiers by guerrillas
in a 'gravel pit at Tongnae, eight
miles north of Pusan.
HST Hits Budget Slashers
For Helping Communism
WASHINGTON, OP)—President
Truman has accused budget slash
ers in the House of doing “their
bit to help the Communist side.”
The President declared in a
speech Monday night that cuts in
defense spending were “a foolish,
reckless act” which may force a
sharp reduction in U. S. armed
forces in an hour of peril.
Truman spoke after receiving
a scroll from the Jewish National
Fund for his support of Indepen
dent Israel and the cause of peace.
His speech was at a dinner com
memorating the completion of a
colony in Israel named for him—
Kfar Truman.

Politicalwise
Eisenhower Takes Conn.
(By the Associated Press).
Gen. Eisenhower yesterday won
all 22 votes Connecticut will have
in the Republican national con
vention.
Backers of the general in the
state convention at Hartford beat
off a last-minute effort to elect
two delegates favorable to the
presidential candidacy of Taft.
Missouri Votes Open
In Missouri it was all over but
the ultimate balloting. A Jefferson
son City Democratic convention
put together a 32-vote uninstruc
ted delegation to the July 21 con
vention at Chicago.
The delegation, which includes
President Truman, was chary of
expressing a preference. Truman
expects to go to the convention
after the ticket is chosen—a proxy
will cast his half-vote — but it
was obvious the delegation was
awaiting a sign from him.
And the campaign wheels were
spinning furiously in California,
where 70 GOP and 68 Democratic
delegates will be elected in a pri
mary a week from Tuesday.
84 Candidates in Florida
Florida voters faced a scram
bled list of 84 candidates for the
24 delegate spots. Of the 84, Sen.
Russell had 41, Sen. Kefauver
had 26, with 15 unpledged. The
two others were committed to Re
publicans— Eisenhower and Gen.
MacArthur.
You may fail many times; but
you’re not a failure until you
begin to blame somebody else.
