IN GREATER DANGER NOW
The United States is in far greater danger today than
even, in its history, according to W, Stuart Symington,
chairman of the National Security Resources Board,
who adds that this nation may possibly lose the next
war.
Mr. Symington said he was in England when the Nazi
air blitz was on but never felt that Britain would lose
and that during World War II, he never though our
cause was in jeopardy but asserted that( today, “there
is a very good chance of losing unless we face up
promptly and realistically to our problems.”
Pointing up the situation, he remarked that Russia
has the biggest army, navy and air force in the world,
more submarines than Hitler ever had and also the
atomic bomb. The possibility exists, he suggested, that
in the face of a sudden attack upon the concentrated in
dustry and population of this country in extremely lim
ited areas, the question whether we could get up and
fight back “depends on whether we have civilian de
fense.”
To th British civil defense, Mr. Symington attributes
the victory in the battle of Britain.
Mr. Symington was talking, of course, to a woman’s
conference on civilian defense and, somewhat natural
ly, inclined to play up the importance of his audience
and his subject. He stressed the fact that the civilian
defense program is not a military one and that it is “a
grass-roots proposition—for states, communities and
municipalities.”
SWISS WANT SOME TANKS!
The Swiss, it seems, continue to make plans to defend
their territory and to prevent anybody from overrun
ning or conquering them.
Present plans call for the building or purchasing of
550 medium tanks at a cost of more than $100,000,000,
according to the commander of the Swiss mobile troops.
Back of the ourchase, we presume, is the Swiss intent
to make invasion of their mountains more hazardous to
the invader than any prospective benefit.
While the willingness of the Swiss to fight for their
country has been noted for centuries, the probability is
that the independence of the tiny nation has been due
more to its mountainous position. Clashing armies have
found it easier to go around them than to attempt to

Friday, November 3, 1950
U. S. pilots today reported
troops in Chinese Manchuria are
pushing toward North Korea,
where United Nations forces are
reeling back in virtually every
sector from a furious communist
counterattack.
Allied reinforcements have been
rlshed to the flaming borderland.
Two American regiments have
been surrounded, trapped by the
combined North Korean and Chi
nese forces now attacing in great
strength on the northwest front.
U. S. Eighth Army headquar
ters called the situation "very se
! rious."
The U. S. 24thDivision which
had reached to within 15 miles of
the Manchurian border, was forc
ed to withdraw 50 road miles to
! Chong-Ju to avoid encirclement.
The heaviest fighting was in
I the Unsan area. The Reds, using
' 82 mm. rockets, 76 mm. howitzers
and recoilless weapons not previ
ously encountered by the Allies,
fought savagely.
Gen. MacArthur’s intelligence
spokesman characterized the bat
tle in the Unsan-Onjong area as a
large scale defensive action and
not a counter-offensive. He said
United Nations forces still retain
the initiative in North Korea as a
I whole.
The sharp Red attacks endan
gered the right flank of British
Commonwealth forces, however,
and they, too, were forced to fall
back.
Elements of two U. S. First Cav
alry Division regiments were cut
off and badly mauled south of
i Unsan. Pushing south of Unsan
1 the Reds knifed to within two
j miles of Kunu and were only 47
I miles north of Pyongyang, fallen
communist capital.
Only the U. S. Seventh Marine
j regiment, jumping off from Su
I dong, 20 miles south of theChang
I jin reservoir on the northeast
front, attempted to drive forward.
It was forced to pull up sharply
when the enemy, described as
Chinese Reds, began a pincers
movement endangering the regi
ment’s east and west flanks.
Thirteen American tanks were
captured by the communists in
the Unsan fighting yesterday. The

now appear to be major elements

CAB Extends Pilot
Owner Rule
((/P) Special Washington Service) ,
WASHINGTON, (JP)—'The Civil
Aeronautics Board has announced
its intention to extend to Dec. 31,
1951, the rule under which pilot
owners of small aircraft are per
j mitted to engage in air transporta
' tion in Alaska.
This rule, adopted in 1948, per
mits a pilot to use his own plane
commercially if it is certified for
no more than four passengers.
The board yesterday asked in
| terested persons for comment by
Dec. 5 on the proposed one-year
extension- It said the results of
the rule thus far “appear to be
satisfactory” and few ccnnplaints
: have been received. But, it said,
i
; teh pilot-owner rule should be
considere dagain after a limited
! period in its relation to the other
j classes of air transport operators

SHOULD WOMEN BE DRAFTED?
Women “have the rights and privileges of govern
ment,” declares Sarah T. Hughes, president of the Na
tional Federation of Business and Professional Women,
who adds that “they should take the responsibilities,
too.”
Accordingly, she suggests that women be drafted, as ■
well as men, because “war is total.” She would have
\ women used for any kind of duty for which they are
! qualified, even combat service.
Another suggestion by the lady is that the drafting of
I women might keep more fathers at home to look after
j their children and thus prevent the breakup of homes,
i such as occurred during the last war. 1
