. Jottings From Munrols ' Korean War Notebook

(Special to The Guardian by loan Munro)

scattered jotting: from a Korean Iotobook:

The hard-pressed Americans are not doing all the ground fighting is Korea. There are south Korean ormatlorie in the line, too. trying

hold the beachhead perimeter.

They have been the forgotten troops of the campaign in the newspapers because few corres- pondents have time to pay much attention to them. occupied as they are with the American battle story.

But the "ROK divisions" atandfng for Republic of Korea - have been doing quite a big Job. At first they had few weapons and would do nothing but retreat. But within the past few weeks the Am- aricans have been pushing in arms to them and the ROK formations have been very active.

They have been holding the northern sector of the beachhend n their own. with comparatively ttle American help and despite tnemy successes along the east

ast. the ROK showing has been

editable.

Battalions of South Koreans also have been operating alongside Ani- erican formations. covering their flanks as well as they can and working through the hills with the lame sruerllla tactics which the North Koreans femployed so well.

At the first. the American GI's didn't think much of his south Korean soldier allies. but new that the ROK units have something to light with and are doing well in the battle the U.S. troops take their cap off to th-sin.

. . .

The war theatre was full of in- congruous events and situations. For example. I went down to an American army warehouse on Tckyo Bay to try and get some kit for the fmnt. At the -wharf, plunk in front of the main supply warehouse, was B. Russian gunboat. it had been moored there for a week. 9 Rus- lllfl CFGW SPORE to T10 one and never left the ship. There was noth- ing to prevent the gunboat coming Into Tokyo Day but it Seemed a Yurlous place to tie up.

0 I 0 Hidden away in the mountains of bouthem Korea. there is an air- Ittip where a new South Korean Ilrforce is being formed and train-

)d by American pilots.

These are the pilots of the "Fl.--i ins Tlifer" vnluntenr squadron who flew Mustangs with great success in the first month of the war.

Then the volunteer group was disbanded as the regular airforce took over and the squadron leader. Major Deane Hess of Marietta. Ohio. was given the job of creating the South Korean alrforce. Dark. youthful. Major l-fess has a vision of something much more import- ant th.an this though. He is aim- ing at the ultimate formation of in United Nations Mustang group of two or three squadrons.

He talks of getting Australia. New Zealand. British. American and Canadian pilots working together and have his south Korean pilots in there too.

Family life and aircombat so hand-in-glove at an American jet lighter base in southern Japan. one Iroup of F-30': was stationed on Nils base as cccupation force anti I10 pilotsi families lived on the alrdrorno with them in tidy little villages.

When the war in Korea broke. ii: group went into the fight and you have jetinen having breakfast with their wives and children. then slipping off across the sea of Japan on a strike to return to base for a family lunch. Fortunately. casual- ties have not been high but it is a terrific strain on the families.

While the Communist propg. Eda. machine is going full blast in

invaded areas of south Korea, the Americans have not until recently used psychological warfare in the conflict.

But not a few leaflets are beini dropped by air to try to keep up morale in red-occupied areas. one of them was headed "To Our Fel- low-countrymen in Communlst-oc- cupled areas of South Korea" and began "Dear Felimv-countryman: due to the Communist ruthless ag- gression. a part of our beloved ter- ritory and some of our compatriots have ben seized by the enemy. We cannot but be moved by profound sorrow."

The leaflet urged the south Kor- eans to "have a little more pat- ience."

"That you may be liberated by the U.N. forces and enjoy the day of freedom, be patient. It may be that on the eve of Communist de- feat you will be subjected to great misery by the enemy. However, un- til we restore your freedom and until the ROK recovers its com- plete sovereignty. please stand firm. Especially, let the young people avoid being drafted by the enemy. in this way. let us defend our 4.000 year old history from Conimunist. aggression."

a . .

There have been rumors from time to time that some Russians are serving with the North Kor- eans. I could find nothing to sup- port this. But it is likely that back at HQ in North Korea or at Seoul, there are Russian officers helping zi lot in the direction of operations. The mass infantry attack technique that the Reds have been using is Russian.

. . .

FOOTNO'TE:- Returning to 0'.- tawa. I hear regular army officers. agitated at the fact comparatively small nunybers of them are being called into the special force. refer to the men in the new brigade

group as "The Chosen Few.” Chosen is the other name for Korea.

U. N. Continues Korean Debate

(By The Associated Press)

LAKE SUCCESS. N. Y.. Aug. 24 -Russia demanded that the United Nations cnd its "colossal international bluff" and order U. N. troops to leave Korea at once. The United States and Britain struck back with blistering at- tacks on the Soviet propaganda

campaign. Russia's Jakob A. Malik said continued intervention in Korea

will only extend'ihe conflict and the United States will have in bear the blame for "dire consequences.”

Warren R. Austin. chief U. S. delegate. called Malik's charges of U. S. aggression in Korea ”a big lie" and "applesauce". He said some of Russia's statements ap- peared to be based on "philosophy worthy of some witch doctor."

Austin also brought before the Council for the first time a dircct U. S. charge that Malik had made a false statement when he claimed Russia had supplied no military aid to the Communist North Kor- eans since i948.

Referring to the discovery of n Russian-made shell in Korea daicd i950. Austin said:

"This shell did not explode on the battlefield. it explodes in the Security Council. Of course. I recognize that this may hi just another case of false Soviet label- ling."

Malik earlier had implied to it reporter that U. N. forces may have faked the date on the shell. "lt's easy to put in stamp on it."

liov'i Makes Plans For Operation M P.

OTTAWA. Aug. 23 - (OP) .. "operation M.P." started last night as. the Government prepared to fly Commons and senate members to Ottawa for the emergency rail- sirike session of Parliament that begins next week. possibly Monday with rail travel crippled. a Gov- ernment official said commercial air lines. including Trans-Canada Air Lines and' Canadian Pacific Air Lines. have been "drafted" in- to a plan to fly some 200 mem- bers of Parliament and senators to Ottawa within the next few days. The plan. as prepared by Trans- port Minister chevrier and De. fence Minister Claxton. also in- cludes the use of Transport De- partment and R. C. A. F. planes in the event that commercial air- craft prove insufficient members here.

The official said that members will be asked to get in touch with their nearest commercial transport agent and book passage for of- tawa. Priority ratings have been arranged so that all Commons members and senators. as well as other parliamerrtary officla's. will get first call on all available at: transport seats.

'i:)peratloii M. P." said the of- ficial. applies only to members east of Quebec City and west of Port Arthur. Ont. All other members are expected to make their way to Ottawa either by car. bus or other means.

Meanwhile. Ottawa hotel officials said that in-mbers are swamplnl! at least one downtown hotel, the Lord Elgin. with reservations calls. The strlkebouixi C. N. R. hotel, the Chateau Laurler. which ucually accommodates a large segment of the M.P.'s and senators said it had no orders to accept reservations.

3.omTfs1Ei Miners Idle

llAI..IFAX. Aug. 24-10?) - An estimated 3.000 coal miners-about one-quarter of Nova Scot'ia's pit force-were idle this week as a re- sult of the railway strike. Another 400 were expected to be idle by tomorrow.

Miners in Sprlnghlll. Siellarton and lnvcrncss could not work be- cause of lack of rail cars to handle the loads from the pithead. West- villc miners were expected to be in the same position tomorrow.

But in the coal centres of Cape Breton. the majority of the Pro- vince's miners were still work- ing. Water tLanspoi'tation made the difference.

Officials of Dominion Steel and Coal Corporation said. however. that if the strike is prolonged it will seriously affect the industry.

Harold Gordon, Dosco's coal op- craiions chief. said shipment of coal to Maritime points via rail and the Strait of Canso would be at a standstill during the strike.

lliilons issue Statement On Sirllie Siiuaiion

MONTREAL. Aug. 38 - (GP) - The country-wide tie-up of railway operations left no more excitement in union headquarters in Montreal than in the orderly withdrawal of non-operating personnel from of- fices. yards and shops. .

when negotiations. curled out between the disputanta by a Fed- eral Government conciliator. broke down at 5.5 A. M. EDT today. leaders of each side wont to bed Union strike directives and plans, arranged long in advance of the scheduled walkout. went into ef- fect without any apparent. hitch.

Union leaders slept a few hours and were up again later in the forenoon. Prank Hall. on behalf of himself and A. R. Masher. heads of the negotiating committees of the unions. issued a verbal statement to newspaper men.

Mr. Hall's statement was made at a downtown hotel following a meeting of a sub-committee which is understood to have concernerl itself with the over-all picture of the strike situation.

Mr. I-fall's statement said there were indications yesterday that a settlement possibly might be reach- ed but that the railway companies stiffened their resistance and were not ready to make concessions to meet those offered by the unions

Except for an early-mcrnlni: statement by the railways follow- ing the breakdown of negotiations, there was no further announce- ment durlng the day from them

The companies' statement out- lined an lltli-hour oifor tha' had been made the unions. it included a proposal for the 40-hour we-ek. instead of the present 48. to be- come effective Oct. 1. 1951 'Fh:- companies also offered ll four-cent hourly wage increase effective this coming Sept. 1.

Mr. nail fold newspaper mer. that so far as known the strike was 100 ptr cent effective. was proceeding smoothly and had 100- percent support. He added:

"This strike against the railways hasn't stopped our fight against Communism.-

Unauthorised Picketa

"One of our committees at the Place Vlger freight vards of the Canadian Pacific Railway cal'ed in the anti-subversive squad of the police who threw out a number of pickets who were there without authorization.

"Our men are not an-xlou: to get engaged in brawls which would play into the hands of Communists who try to take advantage of the situation."

A full statement is being p-cp.'ir- ed for mailing to membership it will be made public tomorrow. In the interim the verbal statement was issued. ,

"In order." said Mr. Hall. "that the work of the mediator. Dr. W. A. Mackintosh. for whom we have high regard. should not be abort- ive and in the interests of roach- lng a settlement and thus avoiding a strike. our committee did make material concessions. receding from what had been their POSNIP" 01

the five-day do-hour week and proposed wage increases.

"Notwithatan this very ou- siderable contribu ion on the part of this committee. no uttemant

was effected. Points of difference

were: -

"1. As to the amount of wage in- creases and the effective date thereof.

"2 Differences over the effect- iveidate of the five-day 40-hour week.

"3. Duration of the contracts to be settled following a ttlement.

"4. The railwaya wanted ii ao- cailed tmnsltionai period of nine months from the effective date of the five-day 40-hour week durlna which no punitive overtime would be paid up to an hours. That meant that although technically the five- day -10-hour week would be in ef- fect. 43 hours could be worked without payment of overtime.

"5. we could not agree to ex- clude from any of the terms of settlemi-nt employees engaged in hotel services and water transport employees.

"These were the rocks on which we foundered. The railways insist- ed to the end that a number of counter-proposals which they had submitted should be discussed and negotiated, and presumably be- come part of agreements.

"Some of these counter-propos-' als contemplated taking from om- ployees condition: they have en- joyed for a great number of years

"They wanted a three-year con- tract. That to us was unprecedent- ed. Agreements with these organ- izations have always been for a year. subject to 30-days' notice.

"We view this desire for a three- year contract as an effort on the .
