FIGHT NEAR MANCHURIA
(.Continued from Page One)
nearly 500,000 combat troops in
this area preparatory to an all-out
final attempt to push United Na
tions forces out of Korea. The
Communists are expected to take
advantage of the spring’s muddy
terrain and launch their attack
any day now. Korea’s glue-like
mud favors the Reds in that it
holds down mechanical equipment
in which U.N. forces have super
iority.
For the second straight day a
big battle between American Sa
bre Jets and Russian-type Mig
15’s was fought over Sinuiju near
the Manchurian frontier. Ameri
can airmen destroyed one enemy
fighter and sent the others scur
rying to their Manchurian sanctu
ary. This brought the Allied bag
to four Red-nosed jets knocked
down in two days of dog-fights,
and 7 enemy planes destroyed.
No Allied losses have been re
ported.
In what Gen. MacArthur yes
terday called -the continuing war
erf maneuver to sap the enemy’s
strength rather than cover terri
tory, two American tank forces
that crossed the border yesterday
later withdrew.
Worrying is like sitting in a
rocker—There’s a good deal of
agitation without getting any
where.

Pan Am Screening
Hundreds of Immigrants
Under New Walter Act
SEATTLE, March 29—Pan Am
erican World Airways moved im
mediately today to clear a. back
log of hundreds of passengers in
Europe who now are eligible to
^nter the United States under
terms of the Walter Act signed
I yesterday by President Truman.
These passengers have been
waiting to come to the U.S. since
last November, when the McCar
ren Act prohibited entry to per
sons who had been “members of
! or affiliated with” a totalitarian
organization.
The Walter Act allows entry
of persons who had been “mem
bers of or affiliated with such or
ganizations when under 16 years
' of age or for purposes of obtain
ing employment, food rations or
other essentials of living.”
The amended act bars only those
whose affiliation or membership
is, or was, voluntary.
Pan Am has started screening
the backlog of passengers held in
foreign countries and will give
those who qualify space on the
first available flights bound for
U.S. ports, Seattle officials of the
international airline said today.
They added that transportation
of these immigrants will be ex
pedited “to avoid further hard
ship” for the families who have
been waiting weeks for the immi
gration bars to be lifted. Many of
the immigrants have had their
passage paid to the United States
by families of friends in this coun
try and they will be cared for by
Pan American until they arrive
i at their U.S. destination.
