Anna Rosenberg Alaska
Bound for Study of Mili
tary Manpower Problems
WASHINGTON, Oct. 19—'.^—As
sistant Secretary of Defense Anna
Rosenberg was on the way to Al
aska and the far east war zone
today for a study of military man
power problems in the field, and a
conference with Gen. Matthew
Ridgway, supreme commander of
United Nations forces in Korea.
She told reporters at the airport
where she left in a military plane
last night that she expected to
make inspection visits in Korea,
Japan, and Alaska—“wherever there
are troops.”
Mrs. Rosenberg is the Defense De
partments chief official on person
nel and manpower. She is accom
panied on the trip by Brig. Gen.
James Collins, her executive officer.
In answer to questions, Mrs.
Rosenberg said the trip, disclosed
only a few minutes before the
plane's takeoff, had no special
significance nor was it brought
about by any sudden development
in the U. S. military manpower
situation in the war zone. She
said she had “planned to make
this trip for a long time,” but
that pressure of work in Washing
ton caused postponements.
Mrs. Rosenberg is concerned with
the troop rotation program for Kor
ea, especially with seeing that the
military has adequate man power to
send replacements to the far east
to replace veterans of the long
fighting there.
She expects to be away from
Washington about ten days or two
weeks.

Blame Captain
For Loss of 45
In Boat Sinking
WASHINGTON, Oct. 19——A
Coast Guard marine board of inves
tigation today blamed the captain
and owner of a Long Island sound
fishing boat for the Sept. 1 cap
sizing in which 45 persons lost their
lives.
The boat, the "Pelican,” was com
manded by Capt. Edward Carroll,
one of the victims of the tragedy.
The board, making public the re
sults of its investigations, said there
appeared to be no "possible evi
dence” to refute charges that Car
roll had been "imprudent and un
skillful” in the operation of his
vessel.
The board also said he permitted
the boat, which should have car
ried no more than 2 persons, to be
grossly overloaded. It carried 64 at
the time.
"It would appear,” tue board said,
"that the owner and operator of the
Pelican, if alive and able to defend
himself, would be subject to serious
charges of gross and criminal negli
gence.”

Merry-Go-Round
(Cooyright, 1951. by Bell Syndicate, Inc.)
By DREW PEARSON
WASHINGTON — A man who
wasn’t there—General Eisenhower
—was the main topic of discussion
at a meeting of Taft-for-President
advisers in Washington recently.
Cincinnati's Ben Tate, head of
Standard Brands and a top Taft
tacker, made it plain that Taft
forces will throw the book at Eisen
hower if he enters the GOP Presi
dential race.
Remarked the usually jovial Tate:
“If the general gets in the cam
paign, he’ll have to take it like
any other candidate. Just because
he’s been in uniform doesn't give
him any immunity from the search
ing cross-examination of voters.
“In fact,’’ continued Tate, “I've
met Republicans who said they had
information about the general that
should be made public. I didn't dis
cuss it with them, but I know Re
publicans generally want to know
whether he really belongs to the
party, and where he stands on issues
that are important to Republicans.”
The question was also raised as to
whether Eisenhower is really a can
didate.

Kumsong
Reds Stubbornly Resist
ing UN Troops in
Almost Every Sector
U. S. STK ARMY HEADQUAR
TERS, Korea. Oct, 19—</P)—Allied
tig guns pounded Kumsong today
as tank-supported U.N. Infantry
men fought to within two miles of
th? former Red bastion on the
central front.
Reds stubbornly resisted attack
ing United Nations troops in almost
every fighting sector. Allies failed
to take two hills on the western
front in day-long battles.
Planes, tanks and Infantry
men battled fresh Chinese re
placements deeply entrenched in
the last major ridge line south
of Kumsong. The Reds used
heavy mortar and artillery fire
in an attempt to slow' U.N. In
fantrymen pushing northward in
the seventh day of their central
offensive.
But southwest of Kumsong, Allied
ground forces captured two hills
against “surprisingly light resist
ance,” a briefing officer reported.
Fifty-two Chinese were taken pris
oner.
Artillery supporting the Kumsong
offensive fired 1,000 rounds into
the Communist road hub.
Fiercest resistance was south
east of Kumsong. Air strikes,
tank fire and Infantry assaults
failed to budge Reds elinging to
a sharp, high peak overlooking
a valley.
Entrenched Chinese on the west
ern front held two hills northwest
of Yonchon against day-long Allied
assaults. On one hill troops fought
at hand grenade range for more
than two hours before U.N. Infan
trymen pulled back. A ten hour
Allied assault was beaten off the
other hiii.

Fishpacker Sinks in
Georgia Strait
VANCOUVER, B. C„ Oct. 19—(j?)—
The seiner Nanceda rescued four
crew members of the fishpacker
Western Cloud minutes before the
vessel sank in Georgia Strait last
night.
Capt. Gord Baker, Vancouver, and
crewmen Eddie Abramson, Bill Gar
den and Murdock Jackson were
clinging to the wheelhouse w'hen
the Nanceda pulled alonside.
“We wouldn’t have lasted five
minutes in that sea,” Baker said
in a radio-telephone interview later.
Barker said the Western Cloud
sprang a leak in the engine room
as the vessel was proceeding down
Georgia Strait between Cape Mudge
and Rebecca Reef. He said the water
poured in so fast the crew was un
able to reach the leak.
Barker and the crew took to the
wheelhouse to. escape being washed
overboard just before the Nanceda I
came along.
The packer sank in 83 fathoms
of water. It was valued at $50,000
and carried a $12,000 cargo of fish.

In Seething
Suez Area
CAIRO. Egypt, Oct. 199— UP! —
Backed by growing sea, land and
air forces, Britain tightened her
hold on the strife-ridden Suez Can
al area today and moved against
Egyptian officials in the vast Su
dan area south of Egypt.
As British naval guns trained
on the Suez, authoritative sources
here said the Sudan's British Gov
ernor General, Sir Robert G.
Have, had ordered two top Egyp
tian officials not to return to
their posts there for the time be
ing “on grounds of public order."
Local newspapers, savd tne Egyp
tian government had ordered the
officials back to Khartoum.
Britain and Egypt control the Su
dan jointly under an 1899 agree
men which the Egyptian Parlia
ment tore up Monday night at the
same time it cancelled the treaty
permitting limited British garri
sons along the Suez. The British
said they would recognize neither
one-sided action.
The officials reportedly barred
from Sudan were Brig. Gen. Abdel
Fattah Bisheri, chief Egyptian staff
officer there, and Mohammed Ab
dul Hadi, controller general of ed
ucator. They were reported in
Cairo.
Pro-Egyptian leaders in Khart
oum were reported trying to form
a coalition of all parties to sup
port the Egyptian Parliament’s
proclamation of King Earouk as
ruler of Egypt and the Sudan.
The pro-government newspaper
A1 Balagh reported here that Brit
ish authorities in the Sudan had
banned all assemblies and threat
ened force against any violators.
At the northern end of the Suez
Canal, meanwhile, a British cruiser
anchored last night off Port Said.
It was the H.M.S. Gambia.
