their own troops, and the Russians seem willing' to sacrifice their satellites to the last man. So Korea may not be such a bad spot in which to destroy Communist armies at a minimum cost. What is needed more than anything else Ts a United Nations decision that the anti-Communist countries must send more troops and equipment to support the Korean defense. There has been no indication that the British, Canadian, Turkish or other UN countries want to pull their troops out of Korea in the face of a worsening situation. The difficulty seems to be that the United States and all its allies do not have the reserves of trained and equipped troops ready for active duty as replacements for General MacAr-thur.

Demands for equipment have been so great that the U. S. does not have enough for its own new divisions being formed and for new divisions being called up in Europe. Australia and New Zealand demobilized so far that they have to begin rearming all over again. Chinese Nationalist troops on Formosa, about whom there has been so much controversy, are fax.

Doug Will Tell Japs They May Have io Fight TOKYO. Dec. 30 KHE Gen. Douglas MacArthur will tell the Japanese in a New Year's message that they may have to take up arms in self-defense, it was learned today. Although the new Japanese constitution bar any national armed forces, MacArthur was expected to warn that Japan's hand may be forced by the international situation.

Japanese may find it their duty to fight for self-preservation in cooperation with the United States or other free nations, he was expected to say. MacArthur also will express his f-rm belief that a Japanese peace treaty will be signed in 1951, it was understood.

Motion carried. Letter from the Columbus Planning Commission calling attention to the fact that consideration be given to re place the center stop ana go lights ana nstall Standard corner Stop and Go i WASHINGTON, Dec. 30T IP I John Foster 'Dulles, appointed republican adviser to the State Department to regain bi-partisan harmony, today rekindled the Congressional fight over American foreign policy. Dmles warned last night in a New. York speech that the United States would be imperiled if she abandoned her European allies to Russian aggression.

"Solitary defense is never im-pregnoble," he said. The speech partially contradicted former President Herbert Hoov er's recent demand that no more American troops or dollars be sent to Europe until the western demo- cracies build up a "fool-proof dam against the Red flood." Can't Be Inactive Dulles did not mention Mr. Hoover's controversial speech, but he specifically attacked some of the former presidents conclusions. The United States, Dulles said, cannot be an "inactive spectator" in the defense of western Europe. The nation must not retreat into a western hemisphere "Gibralter," he said, but also must not waste her strength in a fruitless "series of Koreas." Party lines were not clearly cut but most democrats quickly agreed.

Some said Dulles "answered" Mr. Hoover's proposal that this country should concentrate on her own defenses. Some republicans denied that Dulles squarely met Mr. Hoover's "main point" that Europe should net expert U. S.

help unless willing to fight against communist aggression. However, Dulles had announced in advance that his speech was not a "reply" to the former president Dulles spoke over a nationwide radio hookup. The republican na tional committee stressed he did not necessarily reflect GOP think ing. Support Talk But his speech generally supported President Truman's foreiem policy, although he took several dig9 at the administration's policies at home abroad. Mr.

Truman called the Hoover speech isolationism Sen. John J. Sparkman, supported Dulles' speech and call ed for an European aid. "How long could we survive holed up in a 'garrison state without an ally in the world?" he asked. Sen.

Brien McMahon, said Dulles answered Mr. Hoover's proposals, which he called "a recipe for disaster." Sen. Paul H. Douglas, 4., ,111.. also supported Dulles' warning against withdrawal from Europe and Asia- "If we give up Europe and Asia," Douglas said, "we give up base3 from which we could launch a counter-attack against Russia." Dullest said AmericaTa Ability to counter-attack is the only factor deterring World War III.

Sen. Robert A. Taft, said in a Cincinnati speech that American losses in Korea were "the most complete setback the United States has ever suffered." He said he "no great confidence" in the nation's military leaders. Dulles said the United States dekes not have to choose between arming the entire democratic world to impregnability or abandoning it to Russia. Russian expansion can be prevented, he said, by building "around the rim of the captive world" nations strong enough to resist conquest by subversive methods.

Vasek 4t Y'aaek, Auctioneers, We, The Women Wartime Shopping Is Back By RUTH MILLETT NEA Staff Well, Mrs Huusewife, brace yourself, because here we go again. Remember what a nerve-wracking job shopping was during the height of the war, when competent help was hard to get? Well, don't look now, but the shadow of that nerve- wracking is right over your left shoulder. You got a strorg hint of it during the Christmas shopping season. The shortage of the usual holiday season extra help was so bad that in many cities stores took big ads, begging and pleading with people to go to work for them. Not very many responded.

Stepped-up production in factories and manufacturing plants siphoned off a lot of them. The draft, enlistment and calling up reserves have taken a great many your.g men. And we have scarcely dip ped our toes in the cold water of war-scare emergency. Mobilization including the draft is going to stepped up at a sharply Increased rate, with a goal of five million or so persons in the armed forces. War orders to factories for every k.hd of war materiel there is, from armament to airplanes, will draw off a large portion of the remaining man and wo-manpower.

So the shops and department stores will take what they can get and like it Prepare Yourself For it So, Mrs. Housewife, lay in a big stockpile of sedatives and resign yourself to finding one salesman or woman behind a counter that normally needs three. And resign yourself to renewing your wartime acquaintance with the sales-zombie who doesn't care whether you buy or not and. if you do buy. does not care whether you like what you get or not.

Resign yourself to waiting patiently while the glamor-moron behind the counter finishes touching up her makeup or finishes her gossip with the other girl about last nipht's heavy date. Then there are the storekeepers themselves. Remember how many of them not all. thank goodness adopted an arrogant "take-it-or-leave-it" attitude when stocks became short and goods were hard to get? They'U be around, too. Last time all this happened, it was something of a shock, because most housewives hadn't run up against indifference, discourtesy and selfishness of that sort before.

But having gone through it in World War II, we re veterans now. And as veterans we are not so likely to succumb to shopping-combat fatigue. So make up your mind to take it as it comes and rot let it get you down. There are a lot more important ills in life than the annoyance inflicted by some lamebrain behind a counter.

H. Morrow. Vivian Brian and John R. Luschen appeared before the council in connection with petition pre sented at the meeting of November 1 in regard to the discontinuance of using 28th avenue as a through street and asking for the stop signs to be removed from this avenue, and submitted a summarized statement made by William Siems as to the traffic on said avenue, together with speed of cars traveling on said avenues at various times during the day and evening of two days checked. The police and lights committee to whom this petition was referred submitted the following report.

The Honorable Mayor and City Council. Columbus, Nebraska, Gentlemen: Your police and lights committee, to whom was referred the petition of John R. Luschen and others to discontinue designation of 28th avenue from 13th street north as a through street and also petition to restrict truck traffic thereon, submit the following report: Said avenue was designated as a stop street in the belief that a -stop street from 13th street north in that vicinity was desirable: that 28th avenue is half-! it utiwmi uic iu. avenue and was the avenue in that vicinity most suitable and convenient to the traveling public for that purpose. It also serves to hold down speed on the east and west intersecting streets.

From our investigation, we are personally convinced that such a through street in that vicinity is desirable, and tat 28th avenue is the best and most logical street therefor. We further find a general sentiment to that effect as a result of inquiries to. and comments by, residents and property owners of the city, other than those residing along or in the vicinity of that portion of 28th avenue so designated. We find that the objections of the petitioners to designation of said portion of 28th avenue as a through street are largely based on three contentions; first, that it results in a heavy concentration of traffic, including large trucks: second, that it results in higher and often dangerous speeds thereon; and third, that it creates serious hazard to pedestrians in or crossing said street and particularly to children. These same objections would of course be made by might have been selected, or that might be selected.

Similar objections were made by residents along other avenues and streets when through streets were established thereon but such objections have largely disappeared when experience established the value and convenience thereof to the traveling public. Accordingly; since 28th avenue was selected originally as the most appropriate one for a through street for good and logical reasons and since we know of no sound or logical reason for changing the location to another avenue, it would not be good judgment to make such a change. We do believe, however, that a serious effort should be made to minimize the dangers and difficulties therefrom. We therefore recommend the following steps be taken for that purpose: 1. That four-way stop signs be maintained at the intersection of 28th avenue and 16th street.

This should tend to reduce the tendency toward speeding along said avenue and would provide a safe crossing for school children. 2. That the police force be instructed effectively to enforce traffic and speed regulations into and along said through street. 3. That the mayor and council proceed as expeditiously as possible with adoption of the plan which is already under studv for the designation of exclusive routes of travel for heavy trucks into, in, and out of, the citv.
