GI Retreat
It was withdrawal again for
the United Nations forces in west
ern Korea after a long-awaited
Chinese communist counter-offensive
began Tuseday.
Vanguard forces, estimated at
numbering 700,000, launched the
expected attack. GI's along a 95
mile front fell back before the
huge onslaught.
U. N. forces, Monday, beat back
red attacks early Monday with
out giving ground. However on
the east central front, the com
munists rammed at least two
wedges into U.N. lines north of
Inje.
The U.N. defense was bolstered,
however, by warplanes which
killed 1,800 reds, according to a
preliminary Fifth air force report.
GALLUP POLL SHOWS
MAJORITY FAVORS MAC
Meanwhile, a Gallup poll
which checked-up on the ration's
public opinion about Gen. Mac
Arthur's views which had been

toric speech before Congress.
A majority of these persons in

following the general address be
lieved that the war in Korea
could be brought to an end by
following the three major steps
advocated by General MacAr
thur bombing Manchurian bases:
blockading Chinese ports and
providing Chiang Kai-shek with
arms and transport.
Survey results show 54 peri

SEVAN BLAMES U.S.
TOR BRITAINS'S FINANCES
Aneurin Bevan, Monday de
clared that he quit the labor cab
inet because Britain has been
"dragged too far behind the
wheels of, Amerk-an diplomacy."
He pointed to the arms expen
ditures in Britain's new budget
and stated that the U.S. will gob
ble up raw materials at such rate
that "the civilian economy of
the western world outside Am
erican will be undermined."
It was reported in several Lon
don newspaper that Harold Wil
son, 35-year-old president of the
board of trade, had also resigned
and that other junior ministers
might follow.
Bevan objected to cutting free
medical services in favor of re
armament. SALES TAX I,OSES OUT
IN STATE LEGISLATURE
On the state scene, the sales
tax has become a dead issue in
this session of the legislature.
Sponsors of the $25 million-a-year
measure, Sen. Dwight Bur
new said his "head is sore from
knocking it against the wall" and
did not ask the legislature to
raise the bill which was killed
last week by a 6 to 2 vote of
the revenue committee.
Burney's remarks prompted
Sen. Ed F. Lusienski to suggest
that the legislature place on the
$52 ballot a constitutional amend
ment prohibiting a state property
tax. "This would serve notice on
the next legislature that it must
report to something else,'" he
said, "thus clearing the way for
a state income or sales tax."

Dr. Stoke, former University

president of the University of

State University now with the Na
tional Citizens Commission for the
Public Schools, said in part:
Principle Begins Early
"This occasion illustrates
principle which begins early in
life and operate, consistently and
inexorably the principle of dif
ferentiation, that all of us are not
alike, in tastes, talents or energy
and that these differences become
of great importance to us as in
dividuals and to our society.
"Anyone who looks at the
American scene with a discrimi
nating eye soon discovers this
simple but important fact: that
some people exercise a great deal
more influence than do others.
Strive for Principles
"They do not exercise this in
fluence because they are entitled
by law to do so, or because birth
or even wealth gives them such
power but because of qualities of
mind and character that make
the rest of us willing to acknowl
edge their leadership and eager
to follow their suggestions.
"No matter how hard we have
striven to establish principles of
equality in this country, equality
before the law and equality of
opportunity, we have never found
a way to establish equality of in
fluence. "The world is not likely ever
to find the means of equalizing
the influence of people in the
management of its affairs. We
shall always be compelled to rely
upon those whose capacities and
positions enable them to guide
our minds and actions.

paring yourselves to acquire and
exercise influence, that we will
find our future commanding of
