McCormick, editor and publisher of The Chicago Tribune, told the Illinois legislature today that one measure of Gen. Ulysses S. Grant's military genius is that in every campaign he solved different problems.

CoL McCormick was invited to address a joint session of the senate and -house in commemoration of the anniversary Friday of Grant's birth April 27, 1822. Col. McCormick is the author of two books about the Union hero: Ulysses S. Grant: The Great Soldier of America," and The War Without Grant." Points to Battle flaps In the lofty walnut paneled chamber. Col.

McCormick pointed out on four large battle maps some of the factors in Grant's victories. An audience of 500 on the house floor and in the galleries heard the address. Upon his arrival by train in Springfield, CoL McCormick was met at the station by the sponsors of the resolution inviting him to appear. They were Representatives Charles J. Jenkins Joseph De La Cour Paul Randolph and Edward J.

O'Grady all of Chicago. Before leaving Springfield, Col. Here is the complete program for the MacArthur reception tonight in Soldiers' field: 5:30 p. m. Gates open.

Munsan is 21 miles northwest of Seoul. 20 Miles from Seoul The Reds pounded their way seven miles south of the 38th parallel in the west. That put them within 20 miles of Seoul, war ravaged capital already being deserted by civilians.

Eighth army-rinits which filled the breach north of Kapyong, 40 miks east of Munsan, continued to refuse to back up and give the enemy the Chunchon-Seoul road. But Red Chinese infantry pouring into the Kapyong bulge widened it at the base. Twelve words deleted by censor. The eastern eqd of the bulge was about seven miles west of Chunchon.

Grant met his successive opponents in their own country, with which they were familiar, while it was unknown to him.

EDITORIALS The Hearts of His Countrymen; Canada's Acheson or America's (Picture on back page) A SPECIALLY designed brooch, duplicating the insignia pattern worn by five star generals of the army, was delivered yesterday to Mayor Ken-nelly for presentation to Mrs. Douglas MacArthur today. The piece, which will be given in the name of the city, was completed in two days. It is a rhodium plated, platinum, five star pin set with perfectly matched diamonds. The stars are five-eighths of an inch in diameter and arranged in the outline shape of a pentagon.

The piece was hand carved by the Fred Selzer company, manufacturing jewelers at 30 E. Washington St. The Stevens hotel announced a special menu for Gen. MacArthur and his party if they decide to have dinner this evening at the hotel. The menu has been printed in a special gray folder headed, "Special Menu on the Occasion of the Memorable Visit of Gen.

MacArthur to Chicago and the Stevens." The menu is: Clear green turtle soup, limestone lettuce salad, assorted dressings; -a choice of three entrees: roast prime ribs of beef, international medley of chicken special dish created by the executive chef, Henry Wagner, and consisting of chicken saute with mushrooms, celery, green peppers, tomatoes, eggplant, zucchini, onions, pineapple, and served with homemade egg noodles or filet migno'n; baked Idaho potatoes; rolls and butter; apple pie; coupe manila ice cream with chopped pineapple and coconut, and coffee. Mrs. Jean MacArthur will be showered with 1,500 orchids when she enters the Stevens hotel. They are blossoms brought to Chicago by Mangel florists to decorate the automobile in which Mrs. MacArthur is to ride in the parade.

Since arrangements could not be made to place them on the car, they will be dropped from the fourth suburbs and even from adjoining states.

The area is served by the Atchison, Arthur day celebration. "We are looking forward eagerly to seeing fallen Munsan.

The 8th army said heavy enemy pressure northeast of Munsan was reported lessening during the afternoon yesterday but friendly forces reported a buildup and enemy reinforcements arriving in the area south-southeast of Korangpo at 4:30 p. Fight in North Korea On the east central front east of Yanggu in North Korea, the Reds opened a strong attack last night, but an 8th army force early today was reported containing it. A task force entered Yanggu yesterday and pulled back last night without reporting contact with the Reds. Northwest of Yanggu, one 8th army unit still was holding out north of Hwachon reservoir. Eighth army forces gave up the 11 mile long reservoir and dam two days ago.

Last night on the western edge of the Hwachon-Yanggu salient, the Chinese blew bugles and whistles, crashed cymbals and screamed. Such a weird demonstration often precedes an attack, but no attack followed. No Breakthru Threats Field dispatches said" there appeared to be no immediate threat of more Red breakthrus anywhere across the 100 mile front. Today's 8th army bulletin emphasized that heavy losses were being inflicted on the Reds everywhere the opposing forces were in contact. But the Reds kept coming, heedless of losses.

Five trains and 1,400 trucks were spotted rolling southward into the Red lines. The enemy lost 7,095 men in killed and wounded by ground action alone yesterday and 1,000 or more were cut down by planes-boosting the communist casualties THE WEATHER folks here from all of the territory surrounding Chicago people from THl'RSDAT, APEIL 26, 1951 Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Wiscon War I command, wounded service men from Great Lakes hospital, and disabled veterans from Hines hospital will march to reserved seats escorted by the Police post drum and bugle corps.

Beneath the greeting will be an arrow pointing to Chicago and the distance, 34 miles. Mayor Russell Hileman sent a telegram to the general saying citizens will be watching for his plane and expressed the hope it might circle over the city. Twelve hundred firemen have volunteered to act as temporary policemen without pay today during the MacArthur day celebration.

John Haberkorn, first deputy fire marshal, said it was the largest group of firemen ever detailed to police' duty. City policemen will work 12 hour shifts today and all holidays have been canceled.

Construction to Start Soon The plant will be a single story brick and cement block building. Construction is expected to start within the next few weeks. It was said to be scheduled for completion early in 1952. Buick will produce the engine under a license agreement with Wright Aeronautical corporation. Buick officials announced last month the division would built a new plant in Flint, with more than Va million square feet of manufacturing space to make parts for the engine.

Those parts will be shipped to the new Chicago plant for final assembly. The J-65 engine is one of the most powerful aircraft power units in the world. It is of British design and will be used in American fighter planes and British bombers. Develop Enormous Power The units are 12 feet long and weigh 2,500 pounds. They deliver a 7,200 pound thrust and develop more than 13,000 horse power.

The Chicago's demonstration, of course, will be our people's way of showing in a great swelling chorus of acclamation their appre Sgt. William E. McCullough, who has had charge of motorcycle police escorts for scores of dignitaries visiting Chicago in his 35 years on the police force, almost missed the Gen. MacArthur parade. McCullough mistakenly thought his retirement would take effect last midnight and he gave much of his equipment to fellow officers.

A check of records disclosed he had one more day of duty and he was promptly placed in charge of the MacArthur escort. He was busy most of the evening rounding up his scattered equipment, friends gladly returning it so "Mac" could wind up his police career in memorable fashion. His journey with the MacArthur entourage will end an estimated 250,000 miles of travel over Chicago streets. ciation of the contributions Gen. tHirh.
