Role In Stopping ICI-linese

Blocked Reds After South Koreans Broke t

The following account of Cano- dian action in Korea was delay- ed by censorship which prevented the release of unit identifications during a critical period.

By Bill Bose

(Canadian Press Staff Writer)

WITH THE CANADIANS IN KOREA, May 10 - (CP) - The long-expected Chinese spring of- fensive was halted abruptly in the central sector the night of April 24-06 by unremitting Cana- dian tenacity.

Like wax over a flame, Korean troops holding the line had given way before the enemy pressure. They had turned over to the Chi- ncsc. with barely a gesture of re- sistance, 20 miles of good moun- tain defensive country during the first 25 hours of the push. Most of those miles had been won by Canadian effort during the pre- ceding two weeks. .

Called out from rest, the 21th: British Commonwealth ,Brlgade was thrown in to shore up the breach, ordered to hold a. group of hills about 10 miles south of the 28th parallel and about three miles north of the vital Chunchon- Seoul highway. Nearest local- ities were the villages of Kail a.nd Cheryong-Ni to the east.

They moved on toltheir hills through flocks oi retreating Ko- reans, long columns plodding southwards, streaming from the hills and down the road from as far as the eye could see. 'l'l:at was the 23rd.

Through the long moonlit night of the 23rd-24th the flight con- tinued down the valley below.

Battle Begins

The battle began tbi morning of the 24th, hen. without. warn- ing. thetldidld esex and the Royal Australian Reghpents in -the vol. icy found .then-isclves engaged.

"Without warning" because as though from among the retreating hordes the enemy appeared,

From then on anyone retreating or moving south was an enemy.

The Middlesex stood. The Aus- iraliims held against assaults of mounting intensity as the en. emy's main body reached their fine. In savage wave-upon-wave assaults. the Chinese hurled them- selves onto the position and at a cost of 30 killed and 40 wounded that afternoon the'Aussles clung on. ,That night they were pulled back into the Middlesex area to reorganize.

Hit Canadian Sector

And that night the enemy swung his attention to the hills. having been bogged down in the valley.

Strciclicd along those hills, in a mile-long ilrc, was the 2nd Battalion. Princess Patrlcia's Cgng. dlan Light Infantry. They hgd been told by their commanding officer, Lt.-Col. J. 1!. Stone, to be Steady. to kill and not to give way.

They did all three and though wave upon wave of Chinese. in massed hundreds. hurled them- solves the night of the Nth onto

v1, By Luis NOLI ' PANAMA, Panamp, May 1Q. .. (A9,?-. Arnulfc Arias. ousted as President by the National Assem- bly, was arrestcd today after a bloody last-ditch fight at the pres. idehtlal palace which plunged Pan- ama into what police called "a state of revolution."

At least three men were killed and 40 wounded in the battle that raged inside and outside the Pres- ident's residence throughout the afternoon. sharp fighting also oc- curred at Arias-controlled secret police headquarters in Panama City and Colon.

Arias had sought to retain his office by barrlcadlng himself on upper floors of the palace with his supporters and shooting it out with the national police.

Shortly before his -arrest, the Panama radio reported Arias men were surrendering in large groups and "thetpeople. as represented by the national police, have won a great victory."

But civilians were warned to stay indoors because some Arias sup- porters still were shooting.

Panama City's streets were de- serted and all businesses were shut down. Few civilians appeared in- volved, in contrast with yester- day's” riots in which three were killed and more than 100 injured.

New Sqti-ardron. Each Month is Autumn Target

OTTAWA. May 10-(CF)-Cam ada's drive to build a potent fighter force will be bounding

ahead by the end of this year with the formation of one new fighter squadron monthly.

This was disclosed in the Com- mons today hy.Deit-nce Mlnlst:-r Claxton. but he declined to say how many fighter squadrons now exist. The latest figure reported was four.

Mr. Claxton said production of two new types of jet plan:-s will- be hitting a pace at year's en-'l

that will permit a rnpid ncceler-r

aiion of fighter strength. (A squadron uses about 25 planes and about 28 of the 40 regular and reserve R.C.A.F. squadrons now planned will be fighters). At the same time, Mr. Claxton said that purchase of bombers ranks second in priority, right behind fighters. in the R.C.A.F.'s expansion plans. In the peace- time past. the regular Air Force has skipped bombers but has a couple of ber squadrons.

Flood of Questions

Third day of the Cdmmons big (lt.-fence debate saw the Minister back on his feet replying to a flood of questions and accus- ations that have emerged from the Opposition benches.

He said nil implications of the present sitttaiion point to is need for national registration of man- power "to prepare now to put into effect those measures that may become necessary even be- fore nny Russian aggression."

Lt.-Col. E. W. George (L-West- morlnnd). commanding officer of the 8th Princess Louise Hussars of New Brunswick. one of 42 re- serve units contributing to the brigudc for Europe. praised the methods ndopted for raising that

Rldgway, United Nations com- mander. said that because of Al- lied successes in Korea. history might record ”that the crest of the Communist wave has been broken."

His message was addressed to Lt.-Gen. James A. Van Fleet, us. Eighth Army commander whose armored patrols punched into Munaan. 21 miles northwest of Seoul and 10 miles south of the parallel.

Van Fleet said he felt more con- fident of whipping the Reds now than he did at the outset of the Chinese and Korean Red offen- sive April 22, After 10 days and losses of an estimated 75,000 men, the Reds began a withdrawal that - in most sectors - continues.

Lt.-Gen. Edward M. Almond. commander of the United States 10th Corps, observed that the Chinese armies along Korea's mid- secticn were "wilting on the vlne" for lack of supplies.

Red supply lines have been hit 'roiind-the-clock by Allied fighters and bombers.

Almond cautioned. however, that the Reds presumably will try to renew their offensive.

Quebec Archbishop Hits

At Capitalist

SHERBROOKE. Qlle., May 10- (CP) -- Monsignor Philippe Des- ranleau, installed today as Arch- bishop of the New Sherbrooke Metropolitan See. said mono- pollstic private enterprise "is a corrupting influence" in North America.

Iln made ihr-. statement lll an address following his installation by Most Rev. lidebrando Anion- iutti. Apostolic Delegiite to Chit- ada, at tin impressive ceremony in. the Clthodrll of St. Michael the ' Arclinngel.

Msgr. Dr-sraiileau, tin out-spoken critic in the past of some aspects of prlvnto enterprise. said capital- ism is equal to Communism as a danger to moral and religious life.

Capitalism means "the excessive accumulation of private goods in the liarids of a few." It "can only uphold itself under a series of abuses."

"Capitalism tries under coverof civil laws to reduce production. diminish agricultural production. centralize money and destroy the production of necessities. and this serves to increase prices and profits.

"As long as these products (flour. milk and potatoes) are concerned, made scarce and de- baaed by monopolies under the eyes of indifferent governmen , we must admit the corrupting in- fluehce of capitalism and reign of corruption in North America.

"And I have not yet mention t the housing situation which is scandalous: nor the clothing in- dustry which atrangers have ferociously monopolized: nor the exploitation of raw materials to

hauation . ..”

The Church "never will accept ...an economic regime that puts capital in the hands of a few who put profit ahead of the workers and create famine Ind scarcity of IIOCOIIIUII of life to raise the

prices." The 00-year-old Archbishop is

well-known for his frequent coh- demnatlona of the defects in the capitalist system. He has also been in the news for criticism of ser- vice clubs and similar organizat- ions.

RumohlsTifIll.S, Secret Weapon

WASHINGTON. May 10 - (AP) - Rumors of a new secret wee- pon were heard in the United States Senate today but were widely discounted.

The rumors developed like this:

Two senators said a third seri- ator remarked at an appropria- tions meeting that Defence Secre- tary George Marshall had refer- red to a new weapon in secret testimony in the MacArthur hear- ings.

But the senators also said army ordnance representatives who were present denied the existence of such a weapon.

Se-nator Harry Byrd (Dem.- Va.i. who has listericd to most of the Marshall testimony, told a reporter he had heard no such testimony. Five other senators said the same thing.
