Merry-Go-Round

By DREW PEARSON
"H^ASHINGTON — Last week it
was revealed that GOP Congress
man Walter Brehm of Millersport,
Ohio, had been taking salary kick
backs from Mrs. Clara Soliday, a
70-year-old lady who worked in his
office from 1945 to 1948.
* During that time Mrs. Soliday
kept $200 a month for herself and
paid the balance of her govern
ment salary—around $300 a month
—back to the Congressman. This is
Illegal.
Now, additional and highly sig
nificant facts have come to light
which may make the Congressman's
violation of the law even more ser
ious.
The FBI, in investigating Mr.
Brehm's kickback arrangement,
talked to Ray Soliday, son of Mrs.
Soliday, who sometimes carried the
kickback money to the Congress
man. Because of the FBI investiga
tion, Congressman Brehm went to
young Soliday and urged him to tell
the FBI the same story he (Brehm)
had told the FBI—namely, that
he had paid the kickback money to
the Republican campaign commit
tee in the 11th Congressional Dis
trict of Ohio.
Brehm also wanted Soliday to
agree that the money kicked back
amounted to only 1,200 during the
three years his mother worked for

Truman Says
U. S. to Keep
Berlin Free
West German Police Pre
vents Communist Riots
and Demonstration
DUESSELDORF, Germany, Oct.
2—(/PI—West German police today
claimed a decisive victory over
Communist who attempted to turn
yesterday into a bloody wave of
riots and demonstrations.
Police jailed more than 1,400 Red
ringleaders and broke up every at
tempt they made to start riots in a
score of cities.
The day marked for bloodshed
ended with nothing more serious
than scattered fist fights and stone
throwing. About 30 police were hurt
in the skirmishes.
Meanwhile, the people of Soviet
encircled Berlin received assurance
yesterday from President Truman
of continued aid to keep the city
free. The President’s message was
delivered by Paul G. Hoffman, re
tiring chief of the economic coop
eration administration, in a speech
at the opening of the German in
dustrial fair in Berlin.
“Our aid will continue,” Truman’s
message declared, "for we are con
fident of the eagerness of the Ger
man people and their republic to
join the free of the world in de
fense of all that we cherish.”
STRIKE CLOSES
THREE PAPERS
AT PITTSBURGH
(By the Associated Press)
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette failed
to publish today after AFL mailers
called a strike on the city’s three
daily newspapers.
The Post-Gazette is the city’s only
morning newspaper. The strike also
closed the city’s two afternoon
papers—the Sun-Telegraph and the
Press. Only a few copies were seen
off the presses.
Meanwhile, nearly 50,000 em
ployees of Westinghouse Electric
Corporation were granted a 10 cent
hourly pay boost and improved pen
sion benefits. The company reached
an agreement with the CIO Inter
national Union of Electric Workers
(IUE). Negotiations are continuing
with three other unions in Westing
house which represent 50,000 work
ers.
The pay boost is retroactive to
last Sept. 18.
In Pittsburgh the Mailers’ Union
Local No. 22, a local unit of the
International Typographical Union,
struck after failure to reach a new
contract agreement.
The three newspapers, in a joint
statement, said both the mailers and
Local 211, AFL Teamsters (Drivers)
threatened to strike and that the
drivers said they would support the
mailers if those workers struck
first.
Other labor developments:
More than 4,000 AFL cigar work
ers at Tampa, Fla., will vote today i
on whether to strike for an across
the board wage hike of about 20
cents an hour.
A threatened strike of 6,000 AFL
and CIO hotel workers at Phila
delphia was averted last night.
Increased Income
Taxes Are Now
In Effect
WASHINGTON, Oct. 2—W>—'The
government is taking a deeper bite
out of all paychecks from now on.
New Federal income tax with
holding rates went into effect yes
terday. That means more than 25,
000,000 American workers will find
the withholding taxes taken out
of their next paychecks about a
fifth greater.
The bigger “take” from pay
checks is needed to keep taxpayers
on a pay-as-you-go basis under the
tax boosts voted by Congress to
provide money for the country's big
defense build-up.
Individual income taxes were
raised tfy an estimated $2,700,000,000
a year. Taxes on corporations were
also hiked.
VISHINSKY
BUCKS U.N.
RESOLUTION
r—
LAKE SUCCESS, Oct. 2 — (/?! —
Russia’s Andrei Y. Vishinsky
charged today the eight-nation U.N.
resolution on Korea constituted “di
rect aggression” against the people
of that country and was designed to
cast a mantle of legality on Ameri
can intervention there.
In a policy speech before the U.N.
Assembly’s Political Committee, the
Soviet Foreign Minister promised to
put in a resolution of his own to
counter the measure under debate.
He said the eight-nation proposal
was designed to perpetuate the oc
cupation of all of Korea by foreign
forces and added:
“When will they get out? Well,
perhaps when the mountains are
level with the sea.”
U.S. Chief Delegate Warren R.
Austin said in a statement outside
the committee that Vishinsky’s ac
cusations were merely “repetitions
of the big lie." He predicted Vishin
sky’s charges would have no effect
because “rotton wood cannot be
carved nor walls of sand be plast
ered.”
The American-supported proposal
which Vishinsky attacked calls for
United Nations aid and supervision
of the pacification, unification and
rehabilitation of the whole of Ko
rea. It also calls for a new U.N. com
mission with broad powers to help
reorganize the political and eco
nomic life of the war-torn country.

State Policeman
HILLSBORO, Ore. Oct. 2—(jPI—A
brief period of freedom for two
14-year-old reform school boys

abandoned farmhouse where the 14
year olds were hiding.
Held in the slaying and lesser

Day, Portland, and John Wilson,
Newberg. They fled from the State
Training School at Woodburn Sat
urday evening.
State Police Sgt. James Maulding

the trigger of the shotgun. He said
formal charges awaited action of
the Washington Country District
Attorney.

ADMIRAL SAYS
RUSS MINES
USED IN KOREA
WASHINGTON, Oct. 2—Ml—Ad
miral Forrest Sherman said today
U. S. Navy ships off Korea have
found "a great many floating min
es" of Russian type.
Sherman, the chief of naval oper
ations, told the House Armed Ser
vices Committee that an examina
tion of recovered mines indicated
they had been "recently laid and
not long out of the storehouse.”
On last Wednesday, the U. 9.
destroyer Brush hit a floating mine
and a hole was torn in her bottom.
Nine men were killed, 10 injured,
and five are missing. The destroyer
was able to make her way to a
Japanese port.
Sherman said the mines recov
ered were “Mark 26” Russian mines.
He described them as a rather stan
dard type and containing enough
explosives to damage small ships.
He said they were of the moored
type, but the indications were they
had been floated down rivers or
perhaps laid by small craft.
Sherman said that in addition to
the Destroyer Brush there has been
mine damage to a small vessel.
He did not identify the ship but
said there were some fatalities.
Sherman was called before the
oommlttte primarily fok quest
ioning about the effect of price
rises on the Navy’s construction
program. Some Congress members
have estimated soaring prices have,
in effect, cost the Navy a submar
ine.
POLIO CASES TOTAL
16 IN TERRITORY;
1 LIGHT CASE HERE
One very light case or poliomye
litis from which, according to the
attending physician, there will be
no residual of paralysis, has been
reported to the Juneau Health of
ficer.
Michael Ricke, 4-year-old son of
Mr. and Mrs. Gerald C. Ricke (Jean
VanderLeest), was taken to St. Ann’s
hospital Saturday, after his illness
had been diagnosed as a mild case
of “polio.”
This case and a new one reported
from Fairbanks (that of a 12-year
old girl) brings the total of known
cases in Alaska to 16.
Dr. C. C. Carter, Juneau Health
Officer, said today: "This one case
is a very light one, and the child is
not of school age. Even if there were
a suspected epidemic, we do not
consider it good business to close
the schools.
“Besides being under the careful
observation of a good nurse, the
children are kept more quiet than
they might be at home. They aren’t
tearing around, using up their en
ergy, getting wet and cold. It is im
portant not to interrupt healthy,
normal routine.
"This looks like Just another of
the sporadic cases here. As 1 recall
offhand, it is about the fourth case
in 15 or 16 years.”
Dr. Carter’s opinion is shared by
top officials of the Territorial Health
Department and of experts making
up the National Conference on
Poliomyelitis.
•Among comments emanating from
the Conference are: “The closing
of schools has not affected the
course of outbreaks of poliomyelitis
. . . The highest incidence of this
virus disease is in summer and early
fall. In the United States, an an
nual incidence of 10 paralytic cases
per 100,000 population is ordinary,
but there is wide variation in inci
dence from year to year and region
to region. Children from one year
to 16 years of age are more sus
ceptible than adults.”
Because of the outbreak of polio
in Fairbanks, Anchorage and Ket
chikan, an informational memoran
dum drawn up by the Conference
was sent to all physicians by Dr. J.
H. Stickler, Health Department
epidemiologist.
Mr. and Mrs. Richard L. Peter
returned here yesterday via PAA
following a two months vacation
which took them on an extended
tour of Western Europe. On their
return, Mr. and Mrs. Peter visited
with friends and relatives in various
parts of the US. Peter is program
director at KINY.
Marine-Navy
Casualties
Total 1,970
WASHINGTON, Oct. 2 — —
Admiral Forrest Sherman said today
that Navy and Marine Corps casu
alties in the Korean war now total
1,970.
This figure is 974 higher than the
most recent total announced by the
Defense Department. The Depart
ment’s records included only those
casualties whose next-of-kin had
been notified through Sept. 22.
Sherman, Chief of Naval Opera
tions, told the House Armed Serv
ices Committee the Marine Corps
has lost 280 killed in action, 1,565
wounded and 30 missing in action.
Navy losses, he said, are 24 killed,
60 wounded and 11 missing.
His testimony was given during a
hearing on the Navy’s construction
program.
FIVE THOUSAND
SOUTH KOREANS
ARE MASSACRED
1,100 Civilian Bodies Are
Recovered Including
30 U. S. Soldiers
By BEM PRICE
TAEJON, Korea, Oct. 2—<£)—The
pall of death hangs heavily over
this town of rubbled tile and tin.
Already the bodies of 1,100* mas
sacred Korean civilians have been
found. Nearly 700 were in and
around a Franciscan monastery.
Some authorities say 5,000 to 6,000
persons may have been killed by
North Korean Security Police Wed
nesday and Thursday.
Among the dead were 30 Ameri
can soldiers. It is feared 13 more
may be buried in a trench not yet
completely uncovered.
There were three known survivors
of the slaughter—two Americans
and one South Korean. One of the
Americans died since.
Lt. Robert W. Shultice, Norfolk,
Va„ said both Americans and the
South Korean were buried alive, but
only lightly. They were discovered
as they struggled through the dirt
for air. Shultice is investigating the
atrocities for the Judge Advocate
General.
The Americans were tied by their
wrists to dead men. AH of the slain
were bound arm to arm.
Seeing this stung the imagination.
It was no mad orgy. There was no
wild machine-gunning. It was a
coldly calculated massacre. Each
man had been shot individually.
Many apparently were clubbed to
make sure they were dead. One man
had a hatchet sticking from his
skull.
The surviving local citizens say
the South Korean dead were known
anti-Communists, the wealthy, rela
tives of soldiers, National Police and
their relatives.
WEATHER IS HOT

ARE IN
RETREAT
Chinese Communists
Threaten to Assist
North Koreans
(By Associated Press)
The South Korean Third Division
struck 30 miles beyond the 38th
parallel into North Korea today,
rolling swiftly along the enemy’s
east coast. Two regiments of the
South Korean capital division also
were across and were turning west
ward from Yaagyang, seven miles
north of the border and the first
North Korean town to fall.
Yangyang fell after a Juncture of
Third and Capital Division troops
there. A. U. S. liaison officer with
the first corps said the Reds fled
the town so hurriedly that they
left blankets on their bunks and
field radios turned on. He said the
Capital Division was pushing on
against "very, very light resis
tance.”
Silent On Surrender
The Reds, whose government at
Pyongyang remained silent on Gen.
MacArthur’s ultimatum to surren
der at once or face invasion and
total defeat, were reported plan
ning a last ditch stand on the
east coast at Wonsan, a big town
directly opposite Pyongyang, which
is on the west coast. North Korean
prisoners said they had been order
i ed to get to Wonsan, 7Q miles north,
'of parallel 38, where £He'''Commflri
ists were organizing their battered
forces.
Millions of leaflets dropped by
planes spread the word of the Uni
ted States commander’s ultimatum
In North Korea, but MacArthur’s
headquarters said nothing about the
thrust into Red territory. An offic
ial announcement was expected
soon, however, on this new phase
of the war, which may become a
test of the Communist World's in
tentions.
Possible Intervention from China
The Premier of China. North
Korea's big neighbor, said in a
weekend radio broadcast that
China would not ''supinely tolerate
seeing her neighbors being savagely
invaded by the imperialists." But
the Communists have called the
war a South Korean invasion from
the start.
Dispatches in Moscow’s press still
reported battling in the Seoul area,
and did not report any crossing of
the parallel by southern forces.
American Marines north of Seoul
pushed ahead 10 miles and held
positions as much as 18 miles from
the liberated capital of South Kor
ea, driving on Uijongbu, main Red
training center 30 miles north of
Seoul. They were taking time to
wipe out enemy pockets, while Al
lied forees mopped up behind them.
Many Reds Captured
To the south, U. S. Seventh Di
vision troops captured Ichon, 20
miles east of Suwon.
Still farther south, Allied troops
cleared away roadblocks near Poun,
15 miles northeast of Taejon.
Otherwise, the badly scattered

Two Men Missing
On Secret Mission
To Alaska
HAMILTON, Out.. Oct. 2—Iff)—■
A Hamilton man said today he has
learned that an Alaskan Airways
pilot and a Pittsburgh scientist have
been missing since May 9 on a flight
in the Bering Sea region.
Colin Mills said his information
was received yesterday from the
mother of the scientist, Rogers Dean
Hamilton. The pilot is Bert Gal
braith, 44, formerly of Hamilton.
Mills said Galbraith’s mother,
Mrs. Thomas Wilson of Hamilton,
was informed yesterday by the U.S.
Army that no trace has been found
of her son.
Mills said he understands the
men were on a “U.S. Navy scientific
mission,” and were last heard of—
presumably by radio—when near
Tiiguarik Island, near the Alaskan
coast. He understood the mission
was “highly secret.”
