Page 6 The LA CROSSE TRIBUNE, La Crosse, Wisconsin Monday, February 26, 1951 7 Defendants In Court Here Judge Beilfuss Holds La Crosse Session Seven defendants appeared in circuit court on criminal charges Monday. Judge Bruce Beilfuss, Neillsville, presided Robert John Smithers, 783 North 24th street, waived reading of information charging him with larceny. No probation was extended as he was ordered to serve from one to three years in the state reformatory at Green Bay, Wis. Court Reviews Record Smothers' record was reviewed by the court. It included thefts of five cars when the defendant was 15 years old.

He was subsequently sent to the Waukesha school for boys. When he was 17 years old, the review continued. Smithers went into the army. He served eight months, went AWOL, stole a car and received a dishonorable discharge from the army. On the final car theft count the court was told that Smothers served 14 months in a western state prison.

The defendant hud appeared earlier in this circuit court and had been sent to the central state hospital for observation. He was found to be cleared of all insanity. As Smothers was sentenced, Judge Beilfuss said, "The slight neurosis found by the hospital is not pertinent to your case. Vour past record forecloses any consideration. I'd advise you told his congressional straighten Up and face realities." Monday he is sending $818 Million Seaway Cost $16 Million Above '48 Mark Gen.

By JAMES C. MUNN The St. Lawrence seaway and power project, if built now, would cost about $16,000,000 more than in 1948, Maj. Gen. Lewis A.

Pick, chief of army engineers, said Monday. Pick told the house public works committee the cost under present prices would be around $318,063,000. Army engineers in 1948 estimated the cost at approximately $802,000,000. (These figures do not include more than this project will come nearer to providing solution for one of our basic problems than any other resource development project that can be built at this time."

The union, already fined $100,000 for two recent "sick call" strikes, is restrained from walking off the job while the railroads are operated by the federal government.

The injunction, issued by Federal Judge Michael L. Igoe, replaces a temporary restraining order prohibiting the union from striking. A violation of this order during a three day "sick" strike of switchmen brought a 525,000 fine against the union in Chicago last week. The union also was fined $75,000 in the federal court at Washington, D.C., Feb. 19 for the December strike and a similar 10 day "sick call" strike in January-February.

The government seized the railroads last August in a move to prevent a walkout.

At the time the Pravada interview was broadcast.

Allied forces had just smashed the latest Chinese offensive aimed at Chipyong on the central front. UN firepower piled up a terrific casualty toll which in one action alone was estimated at 22,000 dead and wounded. Usually informed sources say Russia has ringed Japan with perhaps a army and a air force and, by drawing the Chinese Reds into the Korean campaign, had served notice the Soviet would "stop at nothing to achieve world conquest." They said these factors, rather than any recent new Soviet military alignment, underlie the speeded efforts to assure Japan's defense after a peace treaty is concluded. Besides the two U. S.

national guard divisons whose assignment here next month has been announced, other American security forces will be sent here if the situation warrants, these sources said. Yalta Started It The Russians began to outflank Japan when they acquired the Kurile islands and southern Sakhalin in the Yalta agreements. They capitalized on existing Japanese installations. They rule these acquisitions with 2 iron control and tight secrecy. From the islands, the Rus- sans continually can dangle the threat of an open or surreptitious invasion of Japan proper.

The viewpoint here is that Soviet power has been built up in the Orient, not fundamentally for a war of nerves, but as part of overall plans for world conquest. So the effort to put strength into the defense of Japan is being made with grim reality.

The slowdown in the Allied advance came as General Almond announced his tenth corps had destroyed the immediate effectiveness of two North Korean corps that drove on Chechen last week. "We believe the fifth corps is out of food and ammunition," Almond said, "and that the shiny 48 low new tnird hell pounded out of have many soldiers left." Take Heavy Red Toll He estimated his men had killed or wounded 3,000 or 4,000 Reds in the six-day-old "Operation Killer." The operation has been bogged down in foot-thick, chocolate-brown mud since its start. Only the alertness of the Reds, Almond said, saved the Korean Reds from being crushed completely in a huge Allied trap.

General Almond said his tenth corps has inflicted 64,000 casualties on the central front since Jan. 4. The eighth army figures, covering the entire front, list 133,760 Red casualties from Jan. 17 to Feb. 20.

Far East air forces war planes flew more than 500 sorties against the Reds Sunday. Carrier based planes from Bataan struck the Haeju and Chinnampo sectors on the northwestern Korea coast. Strong Teacher Training Urged Teachers Colleges Get State Regents' View MADISON, Wis. Maintenance of a strong teacher training program will be the first consideration of state teachers colleges, the board of regents of normal schools said Monday. Enrolments in liberal arts courses will not be accepted beyond a point which will hamper teacher training activities, the board decided in approving a policy to be followed by the state institutions.

The 1949 legislature authorized liberal arts courses in all normal schools and this will get under way in September on a limited basis. Stress on teacher training will be of prime importance, however, because of decreased enrolments during the national emergency, the board said. The board's policy statement said that additional faculty to implement the liberal arts project was not contemplated during the biennium. The policy called on each college to make a careful assessment of abilities of staff members to teach courses not now considered in a teacher's field but which he could take on during lower enrolment periods. To prevent overstaffing of colleges, the board said it would temporarily discontinue a teaching position not needed in a college, but in every case where the position is held by a teacher on tenure, the teacher will be given a leave of absence and the option to return when enrolment justifies restoration of a position.

The board also said that colleges should not refill vacancies in staffs that result from any cause except in cases where necessary classwork would otherwise have to be discontinued. The board announced that Gov. Kohler had released $650,000 for library and administration buildings at Whitewater college. nrgn J.25r«; law 37; low CHICAGO PRODUCE Live poultry: firm.

Navy sources said recently 90,000 officers and men are engaged in sea operations there. This would account for about 228,000 men. (The air force has persistently refused to give any indication as to size of its forces, believed to be considerable. In addition, the army figures do not take into consideration the large number of supporting troops required in an operation the size of that in Korea.) The committee is considering a compromise military manpower bill which would lower the draft age to 18 Vi years, set up machinery for universal military service as part of a long range program. Bradley said world corfditions, which caused the joint chiefs of staff to recommend a "partial mobilization" of 3,500,000 men, "may persist for 15 or 20 years." He said such a size force as has been recommended may have to be maintained for some time to come.

The general said if the situation gets worse the figure may have to be enlarged. 'We cannot maintain such forces by voluntary enlistments," he added. Besides' providing huge members of men through the draft, Bradley said, there is an urgent need for a system that will provide training of others through reserve components.
