WASHINGTON, May 9 (UP). Secretary of Defense George C. Marshall said today he saw no reason why the United States should not seek a negotiated peace in Korea once the Chinese Communist aggressors had been ripped to pieces and halted. He emphasized this would not be "appeasement," but would stop the "sacrifice of life" and prevent the Korean war from spreading into a world war. Marshall said the Chinese were being "torn to pieces" and the big question was how much longer they could continue to fight.

He also told Senators investigating Gen. Douglas Mac-Arthur's dismissal that ove Reds Slain Or Routed in Push To Flank Seoul Illustrated on Page 2 TOKYO, May 10 (Thursday) fAP.

The House Ways and Means- Committee voted today to increase individual income taxes $2,950,000,000 a year to help finance the defense effort. The increase, which is less than President Truman asked, would raise taxes in every bracket by three percentage points.

EFFECT INDICATED For a single man with a net Income of $5000 a year, it would mean a tax increase from the present $944 a year to $1076 a year. A married man with no children WOuld pay $874 a year instead of the present $760 on the same $5000 income. A married man with two children would pay $598 instead of $520 a year on a net income of S5000 The committee's plan, which is subject to possible change later, was adopted by a close vote 13 to 12. Mr. Truman had asked for 000,000 more in higher individual income taxes, as part of an over-all $10,000,000,000 tax bffl to balance the i budget and put the defense program on a "pay-as-we-go-basis." The committee's program would give him about three-fourths what he sought in individual taxes.

FURTHER CUTS INTIMATED Members have indicated that the President's requests for higher corporation and excise taxes would be trimmed in a similar fashion, making the total bill not more than1 about $7,500,000,000. The committee plans to spend several more weeks working on the tax bill item by item, and it appears unlikely that any of the increases will be approved by Congress In time to take effect before July 1. if then. All of the decisions are tentative. The measure also must be approved by the Hou.se, the Seriate Finance Committee and the lull Senate, where clmngmi could proposed, The committor nl.sa agreed to work out some formula for giving a belter tax break to single persons who are supporting one or more dependents, such as parent.

Wide Areas Hit By Forest Fires More than 4000 acres of valuable woodland were destroyed by fire in New Jersey yesterday, and in upstate Pennsylvania forest fires were raging out of control, as a 17-day drought turned foliage in the two-State area to tinder. Out of control were on Broad Mountain, near Pottsville, and on Berry Mountain, near Williams-town, Pa. In an expanse of pine woods bordering the Shore rd. just north of Absecon, N. 2000 acres went up in smoke before the flames were brought under control about 8 P.

M. Another major fire four miles southeast of Millville destroyed another 2000 acres of pines before It was brought under control just before dusk. In both instances, fire fighters were hampered by high, shifting inds. The Absecon blaze, which broke out at 1:50 P. threatened more than 400 homes in the town of Ocean-ville, about three miles to the north.

Two small shops on the outskirts of the town were destroyed. In addition to the fires near Millville and Absecon, smaller fires were reported under control near Wil- liamstown, Gloucester county; near Hammonton Lake.

The missing link is a plain and concrete statement of the military terms on which we are prepared to offer and to accept an armistice. Secretary Marshall "X)ld the Senators on Tuesday t.iat "for the last five years our supreme policy has been to curb Communist aggression and, if possible, to avoid another world war in doing so. The execution of this policy has required extraordinary patience, firmness and deterrm nation in meeting and helping our Allies to meet challenges in Iran. Greece, Turkey, Trieste, Berlin and Indo-Chira, and finally Korea." Now, if the analogy if correct for Korea, then we must look carefully at the terms on which the challenges in Iran, Greece, Turkey, Trieste and Berlin were! met. In each case they vere met when the status quo aite had been restored, when our adversaries recognized the of affairs which had been legally accepted before the.

challenged it. In Iran the Soviet troops were at last withdrawn in accordance with the wartime agreement. In Greece the rebellion against the recognized government was suppressed. In Turkey certain Menacing gestures and threats alTecting the integrity of Turkish territory and of Turkish Independence were discontinued. In Trieste the Yugoslavs i topped challenging the position of the tteidern Allies.

In Berlin the blockade was lifted and ht-ern access to Berlin by railway and highway was restored. By the analogy, then, our terms In Korea would be the restoration of the 38th Parallel as the boundary between a Korc an government with its capital it Seoul and a Korean government with its capital at Pyongyang. Whether an end to the war on these terms would be described as a "defeat" or "stalerr.ate" or a "victory" would seem to depend on who is talking. General MacArthur, apparently, wrould describe such a conclusion as a defeat. But General Jtidgway.

who did such extraordinary things in avertirg what looked like a military defeat, went on record two months ago saying that "it wrould be a tremendous victory for the United Nations if the war ended with our forces in control up to the 38th Parallel." By the standards of the armistice imposed on Japan and Germany in 1945, what General Ridgway calls a tremendous would not be a victory at all, but if the Berlin airlift wes a victory, then this would alio be a victory. AH of this goes to show only that there are many ways of describing that elusive but glittering thing for which in war there is no sultitute. When, however, the word victory is used in a serious discussion by statesmen and by military commanders engaged in the formation of poliry and of strategy, it is not a glamorous and absolute but a prosaic and relative term.

The 22-member group began the journey from Philadelphia Tuesday night. It had high hopes that the convention would be "brought home" by an offer to contribute $250,000 to the Republican committee to help defray the convention costs Philadelphia's only rival as the site is Chicago. SITE LEFT OPEN In Washington, it was announced today that the Republican site committee, which met several days ago to receive the proposals of various cities, would make no recommendation. In 1947, the site committee recommended Chicago, but Philadelphia was chosen by the national committee for the 1948 convention. Walter H.

Pretzel that's a bagel with the bends. It's an egotistic biscuit all wrapped up in itself.

A guy in Lititz, invented the hard pretzel. He was one baker who came up with a new twist. He didn't know that a pretzel baker never has any cash because his dough is always tied up. That was 90 years ago, but a lot of businesses are now in worse shape. The pretzel business was our crookedest enterprise, until basketball moved into the Garden.

Pretzels were what they put over the bar before television. They used to give you these instead of Gorgeous George. There was a time when Ihese were the only curves at the bar.

A thorough check was then made, using records of the Registration Commission and of the Bureau of Vital Statistics and the nine other cases were developed.

After the defendants had pleaded guilty in Quarter Sessions Court, Room 296, City Hall, Judge Gordon questioned each individually as to why he had registered and whether someone had asked him to register. They Rave a variety of reasons, usually that they wanted the registration card as evidence that they were 21, so that they could be in taverns or clubs. They implicat ed no one else. Judge Gordon, warning them that they had committed a serious offense, then ordered all but Mrs. Thornton taken to county prison.
