Behind them arc superior troopa ready to take advantage of any breakthrough made by the scrub team. The threat of a full-Bcalo spring offensive by the Chinese has been hanging over United Nations armies for two weeks.

It remains. Coupled with this has been the added menace of air and artillery attack. The air threat has not materialized to any degree. But the Reds have been using larger artillery again all along the front Amid the maze of contradictions these two facts stand out: 1. The Reds -undoubtedly have been hurt seriously in the last month.

Many of their units have been cut to shreds and their supply lines have taken a terrific aerial pounding. 2. Along the 38th parallel are defenses which the North Korean Reds worked on for five years before they South Korea.

CONTINUED FROM FIRST PAGE Public Safety, It would cost the car owner $1 a year. The legislature started its eleventh week plagued by money problems. Chairman Howard Carney of the Senate Finance Committee told reporters that he would bring up the big money bills in the senate Tuesday also. Chairman W.

H. Rampy of the house appropriations committee announced floor debate would start Tuesday on the multi-million dollar appropriates bill. The senate is also expected to take up its big money bills this week, The question of spending" and raising money are regarded aa the session's major headache. Nerves often rub thin and tempers flare when the representatives and senators start arguing about how much to spend and how much to tax. Another bill to use surplus state highway funds to finance farm-to- market roads was high on the house calendar as the legislature entered Its eleventh week.

By Rep. Max Triplet! of Hills- horo, the measure differs from Rep. Calian Graham's in that it would use the surplus to finance road bonds. Graham's plan', which has been kicked from one committee to another, would allot the surplus cash directly to rural road construction. Anti-crime, and anti-slot machine legislation came up for hearing before senate committees to.

day. The state affairs panel was to consider Senator George Nokes 1 resolution seeking a joint senate- house investigation of organized crime in Texas. The committee postponed hearing last week after Nokes and Public Safety Director Homer Garrison, had waited four and one-half hours to testify.

Estelle McDowell. CONTINUED PROIV FIRST PAGE The census re-port reveals that there are now 6,319 dwelling units in Corsicana as against the 4,628 counted 10 years ago. This increase sufficiently provides for the growth of population local, ly In the decade, which went from 15,232 in 1940 to 19,108 In 1950. The balance in favor of improved living conditions is shown by the fact that the 36.5 per cent ncrease In dwelling more than takes care if a 25.4 per cent increase in population, Relatively Good The housing situation at the present time In Corsicana, taking into consideration the various changes in the past 10 years, Is relatively good, the census figures show. The ratio of number of dwellings to number of people Is better than in most communities In the nation.

Locally, there are 330 dwellings available for every 1,000 people. The average for the United States as a whole is 307 dwellings per 1,000 inhabitants. In the West South Central states It Is -308 and, in Texas, 310 per 1,000 people. The national change in number of dwellings units In the decade represents the greatest numerical increase in the country's history, declares the Census Bureau. ever, it adds, the percentage Increase has been exceeded in many earlier decades.

STEEL PLANS CONTINUED FROM FIRST PAGE Europe's multi-billion dollar coal and steel Industry into a single market. The first blow to the plan waa Britain's refusal to tak fi Dart. Last June the six nations began negotiations. The wrangling became so intense, however, that American officials intervened recently in Germany to work out a compromise with the French and West Germans to save the plan. Faces Rough Path.

Today's initialling still leaves the plan a long way from realization. The cabinets of the six nations next must approve it. Then the plan faces its greatest by the six national parliaments Ther Is still much opposition to the proposal. Negotiators believe it will take a it can called finished. CRIME PROBE Lt.

KOREAN CONTINUED FROM FIRST PAGE rea about in the center, has been the- arbitrary dividing line between Communist North and Republican South Korea since the end of World War II. North Koreans stabbed across the line June 25 and touched off the current fighting. United Nations forces pushed them back across the parellel. Knotty Problem Then the Allies were forced south of the line by verwhelmlng masses of Chinese Reds who came to the aid of the North Koreans. Now, the UN arer oiling northward once more, In search of withdrawing Chinese and Red North Korean forces.

Whether the UN would drive back across 38 was a knotty problem before the world's diplomats and military leaders. The Chinese appeared to have given up their last main military base south of the chon, eight miles below the line In central Korea. Reports to Eighth Army headquarters also, indicated the Reds had bandoned well-prepared defenses along the Hongchon river, south of Chimchon. The Eighth Army said Monday mid-afternoon there had been no contact worthy of the name with Reds in 72 hours. Much Air Action But there was flashing air action.

Twenty-four F-30 Shooting Stare, flying under cover of 12 F-86 Sabre jets, firebombed, rocketed and strafed the airfield at Sinulju on the Yalu river boundary between Manchuria and Korea. The attack was within sight of the Red air base at Antung, just across the river in Manchuria. Several Russian-made Mfg-15 jets took off from the Antune airfield but did not attack the American planes. Twelve more F.SOs Joined the night attacking Sinulju. The 30 Shooting Stars then pounded rail targets near Sinuiju and Hulchon and destroyed three locomotives and 50 railroad cars.

U.S. Far East Air Forces B-29s dropped 220 tons of bombs Sunday on Hungnam, port of evacuation for Allied troops last December. The Superforts piled 150 tons of explosives Monday on a Red supply center nine miles northeast of the east coast port of Wonsan. Wonsan Itself was bombarded by the U. S.

Battleship Missouri. It was the 31st consecutive day Wonsan had been shelled. Reds Drop Flares An undisclosed number of Communist planes dropped flares for the second successive night Sunday over American positions near chon on the central front. The flares lit up targets for Communist artillery and mortar bar- ragea. Lt.

Gen, Matthew B. Rldgway, commander of the Eighth Army, messaged hla UN officers and troops that they had won the winter campaign, now drawing to a close. But he warned that they face possibly greater challenges in the future. His headquarters announced that the Allies inflicted only 555 enemy casualties Sunday, lightest number in weeks. RFC CNUED FROM FIRST PAGE Director Walter L.

Dunham had told the subcommittee on March 8 that Rowc urged him to resign his post under circumstances that would make Dunham "the goat" of charges the RFC had yielded to an Influence ring in making government Dunham's testimony was one of many spectacular developments in the inquiry, which may reach a turning point this week. Up for decision la whether to (A) continue It, (B) launch a broader inoulry into moral standards of the fea- eral government aa a whole, or (C) try some alternative move. Another director, Walter E. Cosgriff, also arranged to testify today. Cosgrlff asked to appear; the subcommittee has never criticized him.

Dunham said Rowe had telephoned him and "I Just got the impression that it would be very nice if I would take the responsibility for all the troubles that have occurred and just step out and it is all over'." "I think I was to be the Dunham said, Resignation Not Submitted Dunham testified he had written a of resignation, but never submitted It to President Truman. The senate subcommittee has charged that Dunham, Rowe and Director William E. Wlllett yield ed to political and personal influence. It named Whtc House Aide Donald Dawson and E. Merl Young, husband of a White House stenographer, as members of the alleged clique.

Over the week-end. RFC Director Cosgriff declared all present top management "must get out to restore public confidence and employee morale." Cospriff told a reporter the agency faces the danger of collapse through a rash of resignations of kev employes. The agency's assistant controller, Wlllard T. Unzlcker, resigned over the week-end with a statement accusing- the RFC board of "hasty, unbusinesslike actions" which he said created an "administrative mess" in the agency. Controller E.

Allen Kenyon resljfned March 2. Cosgriff said he would resign, too, except that he dislikes the idea of "deserting a ship fn' distress," He said congress should abolish the RFC board and put a single administrator at the top. He added he Is willing to argue with anyone who contends the agency should be abolished. RED CROSS CONTINUED PROM FIRST PAGE Red Cross has no equal. "In view of the task ahead," Spikes said, "a task performed for the benefit of every citizen In Navarro county, we must complete our campaign quickly and successfully.

A great responsibility rests upon the solicitors and the people of the community." 8un Want Adj Brim ZleiuXta. CONTINUED FROM FIRST PAOE "It was rather a combination. There was no chief man In charge, a combination, an alliance." O'Dwyer told his story of the virtual nation-wide Murder, after a sharp encounter with Sen. Charles W. Tobey (R-NH).

The former mayor was and poised as he took the witness stand after a voluntary trip here from Mexico City. He was dressed in a natty blue, pencil-atrlpe suit and blue and white tie. But beads of perspiration appeared on his forehead under the warm moving picture and television camera lights and at times his voice broke. He took drinks of water. Bals Defended The bitter exchange Tobey came after the senator said O'Dwy- er'a version of Reles' death varied from that of a previous witness, Frank C.

Bals, a former deputy police commissioner. O'Dwyer defended Hals' record as a police officer, but Tobey described Bals as "a flat tire" whom O'Dwyer was attempting to defend. O'Dwyer obviously angry, declared he was entitled to a respectful hearing. A brief recesa waa called, then the former mayor returned with his story of the underworld court system. The national television audience for today's hearing was estimated at 15.000,000 to 20,000,000 parsons by WPIX, the New York News station which Is originating the telecasts for itself aa well aa other stations.

The audience in the greater New York area was estimated at 4,500,000 to 5.000,000. The hearings are being telecast in 19 cities. O'Dwyer was Brooklyn district attorney at the time of Reles' death. He now am baas ad or to Mexico. Story Interrupted Tobey quoted Bals aa aaylng that Reles Intended to enter the fifth floor window and then go upstairs and tell his guards "peek- a-boo," "Your -testimony contravenes that of Mr.

Eala, whose testimony was that he was not trying to escape," Tobey added. The Relcfl case came into the picture after Sen. Estea Kefauver (D-Tenn) interupted O'Dwyer In a long story of petty crime conditions he had observed as a policeman, magistrate mayor. O'Dwyer had told of slum conditions and of plnball and mint machines that he aald encouraged children to gamble and steal. Gravel-voiced Frank Costello also has another date today with the committee.

But it was not certain whether O'Dwyer's testimony would leave time for Costello, reputed racket king. Committee lawyers dug up the 1941 murder case, linked to the In. famous Murder, gang, by obtaining a court order for the grand Jury transcripts. A Brooklyn grand jury looked Into this case in 1945. O'bwycr himself gave voluminous 320 pages of U.

The slaying, Involving Albert Anastaeia, was mentioned several times in testimony last week. An- astasla was Rcr-used of killing Peter Panto, a longshoreman. O'Dwyer, as district attorney, said a "perfect case" existed against the suspect, Never Prosecuted However, Anaatasla, whose record shows six arrests on homicide charges, was never prosecuted, for lack of witnesses. One, Abe Reles, plunged to his death from a fifth- atory hotel room while in protective custody. Anthony Romeo, alias Tony Spring, waa found shot to death In Wilmington, Del.

The grand jury record charged O'Dwycr's office with laxity and maladministration in the handling of the case. O'Dwyer himself claimed he was not responsible as he waa on leave of absence to the army during most of the investigation. A judge ordered the jury's presentments expunged on ground they were illegal because they closed actual testimony before the grand jury. Anastasla has a Kefauver subpoena but has not yet testified. He wasc onvlcted once of a death sentence that later was versed.

The grand Jury records, a committee spokesman said, are to be used to question "O'Dwyer as well as othe-rs." Committee counsel Rudolph Hatley says he will question O'Dwyer thoroughly before the committee and some two and a quarter million tele-viowers. Hal ley said: "I'm very hopeful that Mr. O'Dwyer will take a firm position In describing the links between Cofltello, Costello's henchmen and Tammany Hall." On 1.1st Costello la due to testify after walking out on the committee twice last week, claiming laryangl- ties tied his tongue. But a committee doctor examined Costello Saturday and said he was well tnough to testify. The committee voted unanimously in Washington Saturday to recommend contempt citations against Costello, the jailed bookmaker Frank Erickson and alleged rack- e-teer Joe Adonis.

This trio has refused to answer certain questions. The committee's resolution may go to the senate for action tomorrow. Costello also faces possible perjury charges stemming from testimony before the committee here last week. The committee's York hearing ends Tuesday. REDS-CHiNA SD FROM FIRST PAGE ain and the other Western countries will build up their strength to match Russia's.

"The alternative," he said, "Is to live In the power of Russia and at her mercy." War office figures said the Soviet army has 175 line divisions, excluding artillery, anti-aircraft and other supporting formations. These last are grouped into rifle and mechanized The report said the Soviet equipment includes "very great numbers of excellent tanks and artillery weapons." The Russians were "greatly helped," the report added, when the Allies turned over to them a great deal of lend leaae equipment after World War II. The report aald morale la high in both the Soviet and Chinese Red armies, because the soldier realizes he ia much better off than the folks at home. Both forces, It said, are permeated by vast informer networks BO that "nearly all ranks Jive in fear of denunciation." The Soviet private, the report said, geta about 24 cents a day and "poor" rations, A Russian general in occupied Europe draws about $19.600 a year, but must kick back a "voluntary" contribution to the party. The Chinese soldier gets about 35 cents a month and a plot of land in his home town.
