NOT UNTIL a delayed phone message received in Tokyo at 1 P. M. Wednesday, Korean 1 (7:30 A. Central Stam Time), was news heard from field of such a withdrawal. (Whether the withdrawal, which was said to have taken place over a two-day period, was kept secret at the front for security was not stated.) In Tokyo, both U.

She was decorated for heroism in World War I. She also was known as one of the world's best dressed women, usually spent about $15,000 a year on clothes. Often she would appear with her white hair dyed green, pink or blue to match her costumes.

DESPITE a crippling back ailment from which she had suffered for several years, Lady Mendl continued to move in the international set almost until the last, commuting between New York, Beverly Hills and her villa at Versailles. France. During her final months she had been confined to a wheelchair, but she still dressed in the height of fashion.

She learned Yogi from a Hindu in India, and maintained a woman could stay young if she stood on her head even," day. "It's really a great deal easier to stand on your head than on your feet," she said on one of her last interviews.

LEAST one division of North Korean troops has been described by a MacArthur communique as containing many Koreans who had fought with the Chinese Communists in Manchuria. This division, the Fifteenth, was placed by the communique in the central front area around Chungju.) General MacArthur's Wendes- dav midnight communique conceded that "further withdrawals behind the Kum River" may be necessary. Announcement that some withdrawals had taken place was made earlier. Only four U. S.

battalions perhaps or more men were north of the Kum, which provides a natural obstacle to tanks. The Americans were fighting to delay the advance of three North Korean divisions possibly 18.000 men crunching relentlessly south for the river line with tanks leading the way. Near exhaustion, one grimy. bloodshot eyed American officer bitterly complained "you don't fight two tank-equipped divisions: with carbines." The enemy in a wholly unconfirmed radio broadcast from Pyong- vang claimed 700 American soldiers were killed and 200 captured south of Chochiwon. which is 22 miles northwest of Taejon.

MACARTHUR'S communique said that enemy forces had engaged American units six miles north of vehicles, ammunition dumps and installations. B-29s, which now are called medium bombers, hit warehouses, marshalling yards and rolling stock, with the targets left crackling in flames. Unofficial dispatches from Hong Kong troops said Chinese Communist were still being moved toward Manchuria in an operation that may or may not be connected with the Korean war. General MacArthur has confirmed that battle tested North Koreans who saw service in Manchuria with the Chinese Reds were engaged in the South Korean fighting.

Bentsen told the House: "Let's use everything we can to end this war now." -f SENATOR Johnson said Americans fighting in Korea are seriously outnumbered and their military equipment is inadequate and not the right kind. The fighting has demonstrated that clearly, he said. "Congress did not intend that our troops should be sent to battle with one arm tied behind their backs yet that is what is happening." Johnson told the Senate. Besides calling up the National Guard and paid reserves, Johnson recommended: 1.

At his forenoon news conference Secretary of State Acheson bitterly denounced -Russia for launching a "spurious peace offensive" in this country and abroad. He said the Communist Party is actively promoting a campaign in the United States for signatures to the i t-sponsored "Stockholm resolution," which he described as "a propaganda trick of the Soviet Union." Acheson said the petition's proposal to brand as a war criminal the first nation to use the atomic bomb is "an utterly cynical begging of the question" because "the real crime against humanity is aggression."

The North Korean drive, however, seemed to have enough momentum tn carry forward with heavy pressure on both the American sector and the South Korean forces to the east.

He also stipulated that the loss in revenue must be made up by raising corporation taxes and closing the loop- soles.

He is expected to ask that excise levies be kept at their present levels at least for the time being. The President may say something about it at his press confer- ence tomorrow.

"American forces are taking a licking as they fall back." he said, "but I assure you every inch of the ground will be contested while power for a counteroffensive Is being built up.

Kunkel pointed out that in the last year 400,000 licenses were sold at $1.50 to non-veterans and 485.300 licenses were issued free to veterans. The department will ask the lawmakers to increase the fee for non- veterans to $2 a year, charge able- bodied veterans $1 for the license and give disabled veterans and former war prisoners their permits without charge. There is a possibility the department may ask the Legislature for $75,000 a year to help the fish and game division, which has as its solo source of income money from licenses. The free licenses are costing the state about $156.000 a year in Pittman-Robertson wildlife restoration funds, Kunkel said. These funds are received on the basis of licenses sold and the area of the state.
