It cannot simultaneously with this inflate war industry and multiply Its armed forces without risking finding Itself in a state of bankruptcy. Prime Minister Attlee needs a lie against the Soviet Union, and it is essential to him to depict the peaceful policy 6f the Soviet Union as an aggressive one and the aggressive policy of the Government as a peaceful one It is obvious that Prime Minister Attlee is not in favor of preserving peace, but of unleashing of a new aggressive. World War. American and British Generals and officers are in no way worse than the Generals and officers of any other country. It stands to reason that the most experienced Generals and officers can suffer defeat if the soldiers regard the war imposed upon them as profoundly unjust One must lose the last vestiges of conscience to contend that the United States, which appropriated Chinese territory the Island of Taiwan (Formosa) and which Invaded Korea close to the frontiers of China, is the party defending itself, whereas the Chinese People's Republic, which Is defending its frontiers and la striving to secure the return of the Island of Taiwan appropriated by the Americans, is the aggressor The United Nations organizations, created as the bulwark for preserving peace, is being turned into an instrument of war, into a means for unleashing a new World War.

Charges Follow Bolt On Pay Curb Formula Industry Spokesmen on WSB Accuse Unions of Hunt for Wage Hike By HAROLD W. WARD Feb. 16 UP The nation's top labor leaders tonight followed up their revolt against a proposed new wage control formula with an angry charge that the Truman Administration's home-front controls program re flected the interest of "big busi ness. Industry representatives replied that the Labor leaders were seek- ine "hunting licenses for a higher, more inflationary sixth round of wage increases." The Union Labor revolt, which carries a threat of withdrawal from all home-front mobilization agencies, broke into the open last night Industry and public representatives on the Government's Wage Stabilization Board approved a new "catchup" wage formula to take the place the present "freeze." It would permit wage increases of 10 per cent, above the level of January 15. 1950.

The three Labor members of the' Board promptly walked out, blasting the formula. Today the United Labor Policy Committee (ULPC), composed of representatives of most Labor unions, authorized the three Labor members of the nine-man wage board to submit written tions to President Truman: The three are Emil Rleve of the CIO Textile Workers, Elmer E. Walker of the AFL Machinists, and Harry C. Bates of the AFL Bricklayers. It was the ULPC which issued a statement charging subservience to "big business," declaring that Labor was being asked for an unequal sacrifice in the defense effort, and stating that the proposed wage formula had been dictated by Charles E.

Atomic Lead Limited, Secretary Cautions Congress Told 4 Yank Divisions Must Be Sent Before Russia Strikes Washington Feb. 16 CP Secretary of State Acheson told-Con- fress today that if the United tates held back troop support until after an attack on Europe, it meant "suicide for all of us."

"'16 CD Roberto, Rossellini's controversial film. The Miracle, was banned from New York State today bv the State Board of Regents, which termed It sacrilegious. The 13-member board. In an unprecedented action, voted unanimously to revoke licenses to show the Italian-made movie. The licenses had been issued by the State Education Department Mo tion mvision.

Soon after the Regents announc ed their decision, the American distributor began court action to block enforcement of the ban. But Justice- Kenneth S. Macaffer of State Supreme Court declined to grant a stay. The case probably will be aired March 5 before the court's Appellate Division. In New York, "The Miracle" was dropped from the program of the fans tneater, where it nas been playing, at 5:30 p.

m. (EST) but showing continued of the other two films with which "The Mir acle" was grouped. Last month, Francis Cardinal Spellmanr Roman Catholic Arch-i bishop of New York, termed the picture a mockery of the Catholic faith. He urged Catholics to boycott it The picture tells a story of an Idiot Italian shepherdess, who is seduced by a stranger she believes to be St. Joseph.

She thinks the birth of her child Is a' miracle. In banning the film, the Regents said that State law "expressly for- bras the licensing of any film that is, in whole or In part sacrileg ious." They added: "After viewing this picture, we have no doubt that it falls in the category condemned by law. me Kegents said the turn taxes (Sm aossnuin's nut a rc ti C0STELW ffil As for the Soviet Union, It will eontlnue in the future as well firmly to pursue a policy of averting war and maintaining peace. night that Wilson has three timesimoW'ijwt'on program to take it Invited organized Labor to name I out of the hands of the Big Busi-some Leader to serve as one of his yen are tumbling us all i into disaster.

He declared American forces face defeat in Korea unless Washington and London accept Communist China's terms for a Far East settlement Stalin pictured the Korean war Is extremely unpopular with American soldiers and said this explained Western defeats there.

The Soviet leader made these statements in his first major announcement on international affairs since early 1919. He attacked as "shameful" the UN decision branding Communint China an aggressor in Korea. The UN, he said has become an organization for Americans which Is being turned into "a means for unleashing a new war." 'The united Nations organization is taking the inglorious road of the League of Nations," he declared. "In this way it ia burying its moral prestige and dooming Itself to disintegration." Stalin said a new World War "it least at the present time cannot be considered inevitable." At the same tune, he asserted war may become inevitable "If the warmongers succeed in entangling the masses of the peonle in lies. As for the Soviet Union, he said it will follow a policy ot averting war and maintaining peace.

the rYlme Minister expressed himself in a interview with a correspondent of the Com munist newspaper Pravda. The text was released to foreign cor respondents late tonight by the Press Department of the Soviet Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Stalin la Interviewed The Interview gave this exchange between the Pravda correspondent and Stalin: What do you think of the intervention in Korea? How could it end? "A If Britain and the United States reject finally the proposals made by the People's Government of China, the war in Korea can only end in a defeat of the inter ventionists."

17 OF) Between 15,000 and 20,000 North Korean Reds today penetrated the east flank of the Central front near Chechon, field dispatch re ported. AP Correspondent John Ran dolph said three North Korean Divisions attacked a few miles north of Chechon, a rail and road junction. The penetration was limited and, for the moment, not serious. "While the North Koreans penetrated the Hne, It was In no sense a breakthrough," Randolph said. "Rather the Allied forces rolled with the punch." The North Koreans, identified as the Fifth Corps, appeared to be trying to slip into the Pyongchang-Yongwol-Tanyang mountain route to the south.

This was a sharp shift In Communist strength eastward from Chlpyong and Wonju, -two mountain strongholds where Chinese Reds suffered 22,128 casualties in four punishing days trying for a breakthrough. Allied forces not only held firmly at those two points today but even sent patrols north for more than two miles beyond Chlpyong. Chinese forces which had been battering at Wonju vanished last night Friday night and earlier today. Chinese had joined with North Koreans In two attacks six to 10 miles north of Chechon. Allied artillery shattered one attack, South Koreans checked the other.

One 800-man enemy force Infiltrated to within five miles north west of Checkon "riday. On the East Coast, South Korean troops pulled back to new defense Dositions well south of the 38th Parallel, the artificial boundary for North and South Korea. U. S. Eighth Army Headquarters said there was no Indication the Reds were pursuing the South Koreans.

The new positions were not speci fied. Northwestward from Obechon, along the nearly 70 miles of fighting front to Seoul, there was scattered fighting. But the engagements were not on the scale of the massive assaults which nine Chinese divisions had made against Chlpyong and Wonju. British troops dispersed small Red groups Friday about, eight miles south oi Cbipyong, Four miles east of that area; a South Korean unit early today fought a continuing battle With a Red patrol. Nine miles east of Seoul, "Puerto Ricana early today were holding their positions-in a'fight'wlth an unknown number of enemy.

Naval air and surface attacks continued on both coasts of Korea. The heavy cruiser St Paul bombarded villages, road junctions and automatic weapons positions north of the Han River and west of Seoul. Carrier planes gave close support to ground forces. A force of U. S.

destroyers. In cluding the Lind and Borie shelled the East Coast towns of Chumun-jln and Tanchon. The Canadian destroyer Athabaskan and the Oz-bourn destroyed mines off the East Coast. Enemy infiltration through snowy mountain corridors east of Wonju toward Chechon in the Central front area began after the Red disaster at Chlpyong and Wonju. Allied Intelligence officers said today that four divisions of the Chinese 41st corps were badly chewed up in the Chipyong-Wonju assaults and nad to withdraw.

Three separate battles flared around Chechon. Two were North Korean assaults which were pulsed. The third was an attack by South Koreans northeast of Che chon against southbound Reds. Chechon, a rail and road hub In the mountains of Central Korea, was the goal of the Reds who unsuccessfully attacked the Wonju salient last month. The Chinese strategy was obvious to neutralize Chlpyong and Wonju, then strike down the gap between them.

At 4 a. m. a call came from a forward artillery observer with the Infantry. The enemy was four miles northwest of Wonju and heading south down the Som Valley. It was up to the artillery to stop them, for the Infantry was already at full strain.

By dawn, when observation planes were set free, the guns were firing rolling barrages. The planes confirmed that It was the main Chinese thrust with elements of two divisions, probably 10,000 men. The Chinese did not atop. They took their losses and marched on like ants on a sidewalk, climbing over the crushed bodies of their comrades. Shortly after that Capt Isidore vaiaez.

Usually Soviet delegates quote their leader in UN debates at length to show they are following Moscow. But in this case Stalin trotted out phrases repeated many times by Soviet and satellite delegates in long hours of debate and finally rejected by the UN majority. i on the timing, the interesting thing ia this: the last time Stalin made a weighty pronouncement was in answer to cabled questions from an American reporter sta tioned in Pans.

The United States studied this carefully, found a kernel of an Idea in it, and began talks which led to the lifting of the Berlin blockade. The question In some minds at the UN. in the light of that experi- ence, is this: has Stalin concealed somewhere in the familiar blasts at the UN majority an idea which can be taken up and developed into icrisis?
