The Red ARMIES OF RED CHINAMASSING Arrival of 2 Groups With Tanks on Korean Border Confirmed by U.S.A.

experts strongly doubt. A defense spokesman pinned both reports on official U. S. sources. They were made public a few hours after Army Chief of Staff J.

Lawton Collins returned from conferences in Tokyo with General MacArthur. Army general staff offices evidenced an unusual flurry of activity after Collins returned. Ships Commandeered The buildup of Chinese forces along the North Korean border was given additional emphasis by othar reports received through official U. S. channels that the Chinese Communist party has commandeered all shipping and isj mobilizing Chinese laborers to move war supplies across the border into Korea.

This report placed the main concentration of Chinese Red manpower and Communist war equipment around Antung, big industrial center and transportation hub near the mouth of the Yalu river. This river not only forms the boundary between Manchuria and Korea for several hundred miles but also supplies a usable arterj' for the movement of equipment from northern Manchuria. Until today, defense spokesmen have either denied or declined to comment on press reports that Chinese Communist armies were moving eastward across Manchuria to Korea.

FREIGHTER HITS SHIP; CASUALTY TOLL jSSMALL 'Benevolence' Was Being Fitted for Service in Korean War Zone SAN FRANCISCO, Aug 25.1 (IP) Thirteen persons were reported killed in a collision of a freighter and a hospital ship, with approximately 500 aboard, in dense fog off the Golden Gate late today. An army colonel at Fort Mason said eight dead were, brought in there from the dark waters where the hospital ship Benevolence sank.

He said five other bodies were at Fort Point, just inside the Golden Gate near the Presidio of San Francisco. One of the dead was a woman. The Benevolence was rammed amidships late this afternoon by the freighter Mary Luckenbach, which stayed afloat with a smashed bow. The hospital ship, in addition to her civilian crew and medical personnel, apparently carried a large number of persons who were along for the cruise. Officially, the Ben evolence was on a shakedown run' before going on duty in the Korean war zone.

545 Estimated Aboard The navy estimated there were 545 aboard the hospital ship, hundreds more than were believed on the cruise when the Benevolence sent out her SOS. At Fort Mason and Fort Point, where survivors were being brought ashore, it was figured that around 479 had been accounted for. This included 90 rescued by the freighter Mary Luckenbach, which was reported to have crashed into the Benevolence amidships, sending her down in 15 minutes. She may-have remained awash, or just surfaced, briefly thereafter but the coast guard tonight was convinced she was "down." The Mary Luckenbach, with a smashed bow, was in no danger. She had sailed this afternoon for the east coast with a general cargo and a crew of 49.

All were believed safe. On Test Run The Benevolence, tied up at Mare' Island with the reserve fleet since! the war, had been pulled out onty recently for refitting and war service. She made a test run outside the gate and again today, the collision occurring just as she was coming home. The fog was so thick off the gate today that vessels were invisible at a distance of 50 feet, the coast guard said. The coast guard's best information, from survivors, was that the Benevolence rolled over on her starboard side and went down 15 minutes after the Mary Luckenbach ripped open her side.

Only one lifeboat was put over the side, but all starboard life rafts were launched and the hundreds of survivors managed to stay af'iat. either by swimming or on the rafts, until rescue craft came.

Legislation authorizing the appropriation of $23,000,000 over a 10-year period for rehabilitation of the Papago Indians in Arizona received approval of the house public lands committee today. The bill is designed to promote a self-supporting economy for the tribal members.

Included in the program are $7,000,000 for soil and water conservation, $5,250,000 for irrigation improvements, $250,000 for development of opportunities for off- reservation employment and re settlement; $4,000,000 for educational purposes: $3,500,000 for roads and communication systems; $1,000,000 for establishment of a revolving loan fund; for domestic water supply; $300,000 for common service facilities; and $3,500,000 for roads and communication systems. The bill was introduced by Rep. Harold Patten of Arizona. COPPER IMPORT TARIFTBATTLED But Attempt at Suspension Will Bring Filibusters, Says Sen. McFarland WASHINGTON, Aug.

23. UP) The senate today avoided a filibuster on copper import taxes which promised to bog down debate on the tax bill, but the threat of a fight next week still remained. Senator McMahon (D-Conn) pre sented, but then withdrew a con troversial amendment to suspend the two-cent-a-pound copper tariff. His withdrawal of the proposal, however, was done subject to its being reintroduced next WThile it was before the senate, westerners gave broad warning that they were ready to talk for days in opposition to any further suspension of the import tax, which was reimposed July 1. Senator McFarland (D-Ariz) told the senate it would take at least two or three weeks fullv to in- llTirn thG ments the amendment.

Senator Millikin (R-Colo) added the observation that McFarland's estimate on the time element to be involved was "no exaggeration." Senator George (D-Ga), chair man of the finance committee, urged McMahon not to press his amendment at this time. He indicated an attempt would be made to allow him to bring it up in con nection with another bill dealing with imports of scrap metals. McMahon attempted to do that earlier this week when the scrap metals bill was on the unanimous consent calendar, but failed when objection was made to consideration of the measure. Referring to this, he told George that he wanted assurance that the scrap metals bill will be considered before the senate recesses. He added that he was "not at all disturbed" by McFarland's statements of the time that might be consumed in arguments.

Apart from the time it would take itself, the copper amendment appeared ready to mushroom into a series of other tariff controversies if it is brought to debate in connection with the tax bill. Millikin said that if McMahon should press his statement he would offer a series of proposals dealing with reciprocal trade and U.S. WELCOMES' FORMOSA CHECK FRANCIS P. MATTHEWS NAVY SEC.

S. Must Be Willing to Start War To Secure the Peace BOSTON, Aug. 25. Secretary of the Navy Matthews said tonight the United States should proclaim its willingness to start a war, if necessary, "to compel cooperation for peace." Declaring this country has never drawn the sword unless first at tacked, he asserted: "It is possible that we shall be forced to alter that pacific policy." The Truman administration official said that self-preservation in the present world can be purchased only by those capable of resisting successfully a violation of their rights. No Other Choice "We have no choice other than to build our military power to the strength which will make it impossible for any enemy to overcome us," he continued.

"To reach that position all the resources of the nation should be dedicated." Matthews said the nation should first get ready to ward off any possible attack and should boldly proclaim "our undeniable objective to be a world at peace." He continued: "To have peace we should be willing, and declare an intention to pay, any price, even the price of instituting a war to compel cooperation for peace. 'Aggressors for Peace "Only the forces who do not want peace would oppose our efforts to transform the hostile nations embroiled in the present international conflicts into a tran quil world. We could accept that slander with complacency, for in the implementation of a strong, affirmative, peace seeking policy, though it cast us in a character new to a true democracy an initiator of- a war of aggression it would win for us a proud and popular title we would become the first aggressors for peace. "It is a role which, in my opinion, we cannut escape. It is a cause to which we shal be compelled to dedicate our total land ultimate resources.

From no other cause can there be effected the salvation of the free world." Matthews addressed a celebration of the 150th anniversary of the Boston naval shipyard.

mated 1,700,000 rail workers, at 6 a.m. Monday, Truman, acting to prevent a national emergency, ordered Secretary of the Army Pace to take over the railroads at 4 p.m.. Sunday, and operate them "in the name of the U. S. government." Half an hour after the President issued his executive order at 3 p.m., the unions issued a statement declaring: "The men we represent will work for the government gladly under government operation of the railroads during this period of crisis until this dispute can be settled on its merits through mediation.

'Strike Postponed "The strike instructions issued Aug. 23 are postponed indefinitely." The message, sent to all the railroads involved, was signed by Pres. W. P. Kennedy of the Broth erhood of Railroad Trainmen and Pres.

R. O. Hughes of the Order of Conductors. A union spokesman hailed Truman's seizure of the railroads as "a tremendous victory for our people." The unions had urged Truman at least three times during the 18-months-old dispute to take over the roads as the only means of reaching a peaceful settlement with management negotiators whom they accused of "stalling." Management in turn accused the union leaders of "complete irre- sponsibilitv" and "double-dealing Commenting on the President's action. Pres.

Fred G. Gurley of the Santa Fe railroad said in a state ment: "The arbitrary stand taken by the lalwr people left the President no alternative but to seize the rail roads as he has done." Army Gets Authority Truman's seizure announcement calls on all rail workers "to with the government" by remaining on the job," and backed up the plea with an executive order authorizing the army to furnish "manpower" if necessary to keep the railroads running. Presumably this would mean troops. It was the fifth time in the last 32 years that the federal government has stepped in to take control of the nation's rail system. President Woodrow Wilson seized the railroads on Jan.

1, 1918, when rail transportation began to break down under the tremendous load of World War I troop and supply movements, and the government again took control when labor disputes threatened nation-wide rail stoppages in 1943, 1946 and 194S. The unions involved in the current dispute are demanding a 40-hour week and a 31-cent hourly wage boost for yard workers to keep their take-home pay the same as it has been for their present 48-hour week. They are also asking wage increases for workers on the rolling trains. Congressional Approval On Capitol Hill, most Congress members gave quick approval for Truman's decision, although some grumbles were heard, chiefly from Republicans, that such a drastic Me) was unnecessary. The President made it clear and the White House later emphasized the point that for the duration of the seizure, the unions ill not be able to bargain with the government in an effort to achieve their demands.

As boss of the railroads, Army Secretary" Pace is expected to name Maj. Gen. Frank A. Heilman, the army's chief of transportation, with Brig. Gen.

Andrew F. Mclntyre of Philadelphia as his assistant. Mclntyre, a reserve officer, is on leave from his job as chief of freight transportation for the Pennsylvania railroad. Orders Specifications Truman's executive order specified: 1. The railroads will continue their managerial functions "to the 'maximum degree possible." 2.

Management will continue to handle all funds and will carry oni. payments of stock dividends and other financial transactions. The order said the railroads would be "deemed to be within the possession and control of the United States without further act or notice." The President said the order would remain in force until Secretary Pace "determines that such possession, control and operation are no longer necessary." In taking over the railroads, Truman said he was acting under powers granted in, a World War 1 act of 1916 and under "authority vested in me bv the Constitution."
