Henry L. Stimson,
83, Passes On
COLD SPRING HARBOR (/Pi
Henry L. Stimson, the first Amer
ican to hold cabinet office under
four Presidents, died Friday of a
sudden heart attack. He was 83
years old.
Stimson was secretary of war
under Presidents William Howard
Taft, Franklin D. Roosevelt and
Harry Truman, and was Herbert
Hoover's only secretary of state.
Three months ago Stimson fell
and broke his hip, but was mak
ing a good recovery and getting
about with wheelchair and crut
ches. Friday afternoon he and
Mrs. Stimson set out on a drive
around the estate. He was sticken
in the car, was taken home imme
diately, and died a few minutes
later.
Stimson was the first leading
statesman in any western country
to demand a tough crackdown on
the aggressors of the 1930’s. His
policy failed at the time, but as
America’s secretary of war from
Pearl Harbor to Hiroshima, he di
rected the army and air force that
helped redeem it.
Tighter Curbs On
Installment Buying
WASHINGTON, (/P)—Presiden
tial assistant John R. Steelman
feels that still tighter curbs on in
stallment buying may be imposed
by the government to combat in
flation.
Moreover, he said last week,
that other types of controls “may
become necessary.’’
Steelman’s hint at new restric
tions came at the end of a day
during which:
1. The national Production Au
thority (A> restricted rubber
companies in their use of materi
als and (B> set aside for the de
fense program the entire produc
tion of stainless steel containing
coumbium.
2. The commerce department
ordered a ban on all exports of
molasses, a principal source of in
dustrial alcohol.
The rubber order limits tire
manufacturers and other users to
75 per cent of the amount of nat
ural rubber they consumed in the
year ended June 30. It sets con
sumption of all rubber, including
synthetic, at 84 per cent of the
base year’s use.

north. This task force from the
First Cavalry Division had gone
north to link up with American
paratroopers who had dropped
near Sunchon. I went with them.
An Sunchon we heard'' the re
port of a massacre at a railroad
tunnel. No one had any specific
information and this appeared to
be just another rumor. But Allen |

he said, “if we don’t do all we can
to find out about this.” !
The general stopped at the

I Sixth Division and requested a |

| we had no troops in this area.
The South Koreans provided a
guide and we headed for the tun
nel. A South Korean colonel found
i
I the first seven bodies. Men who
had starved to death had been
laid beside the railroad track.
And then we began finding the
survivors and the bodies of the j
men murdered by the Koreans.
Allen directed the job of getting
litter bearers to carry the wound
ed across a ridge.
He walked among the men, pat
ting them on the back, encourag

nightmare was over.
Two South Korean nurses were;

A. Skelton of Hannibal, Mo.— j
came to the hospital to see the
men.
“You are the first chaplain we

The men knelt, in the campfire

They told Skelton that each day :

on the train ride northward they
had knelt once each day to repeat
in unison the prayer.
