The latest figures on the division's strength released several weeks ago was 10,000. The present figure was not released for security reasons.

Nation at Glance Committee Votes Stiff Penalties For Hoarders WASHINGTON — Prison sentences and $10,000 fines for hoarders and blackmarketeteers were voted by a Senate committee today as Congress pressed swiftly toward action on economic mobilization legislation. A House vote on the administration's requested control powers—plus standby wage and price controls—was possible late in the day but may not come until tomorrow. Democratic leaders put before the House a substitute for the administration's original allocations and credit control measure. The new bill would give Mr. Truman power to slap ceilings on wages and roll prices back to the levels of the May 24-June 24 period. The new bill also would allow national Guard, review are Lt.

Games Start on Tournament Week-end Bridges, Poor Security Risk, Enroute to Jail SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Once again it is Harry Bridges vs. the United States government. U.S. Marines: 'Give Them the Best We've Got' By TOM LAMBERT and DON WHITEHEAD A SOUTH KOREAN PORT, Aug. 2 (AP)—U.S. Marines arrived in force tonight at this South Korean port. They called for beer, asked about shore liberty and promised to make things tough for the enemy. "We will give them the best we got—and that's a lot," said a Marine sergeant. A veteran of World War II and a typical Leatherneck, he calmly scanned the low hills as the big transport edged into a dock. It brought the first contingent of Marines from the United States to a beachhead shrinking under the armored blows of the North Koreans. "We figure this will be tougher than anything we have had before," the sergeant said. The brass band on the dock played two stirring Leatherneck alrs, "From the Halls of Montezuma" and "Semper Fidelis." The Marines came loaded for heavy combat. They will go into battle behind hulking Pershing M-26 tanks, weighing 45 tons and mounting a 90mm gun. There's been nothing like that on the American side so far. Russian-made T-34s consistently have outgunned the American medium tanks. Flame throwers and the new tank-killer super-bazookas also were in the Marine equipment. 20-Days Aboard Correspondents boarded a launch and met the Marine convoy as it neared the habor. It had been 20 days crossing the Pacific and had been expected two days earlier. There had been some anxiety in port but requirements of radio silence prevented (Continued on Page 5) Been Wondering About 17 Year Old Marines?? WASHINGTON (AP)—Rep.

A verdict today against the bleak, hawk-nosed waterfront labor leader in all probability means jail ... immediately. For the government has demanded that the $25,000 bail on which Bridges has been at liberty since April be revoked. The reason: His continued freedom is regarded by the government as "dangerous and detrimental" to national security. The Korean conflict, on which Bridges incidentally has been feuding with his CIO union over support of U. S. and United Nations policy, apparently had much to do with the present issue. Federal Judge George B. Harris, who presided at the stormy waterfront labor leader's trial last spring for perjury and conspiracy, will hear the government's motion this afternoon. Bridges is under five year prison sentence for conviction on charges of committing perjury at his 1945 naturalization hearing, when he claimed that he never had been a communist. The Australian-born Bridges has appealed that conviction and has been free on bail pending higher court action. Been Wondering About 17 Year Old Marines?? WASHINGTON (AP) — Rep. Doyle (D-Calif) said today the Marine Corps assured him that pre-draft boys will not be used in combat until they are "thoroughly trained and matured." Doyle told a reporter he took up with the Marine Corps commandant several protests from Beach parents that their 17-year-old sons are being sent to training camps although they joined the Marines several months ago with the understanding that they would be given only periodic drills. Doyle said he was advised that no Marine recruiting officer had authority to make any promises as to type of service. He added that there is nothing in writing to show that any such promise was made. The Congressman said he was told, however, that in response to hundreds of appeals from all parts of the country the policy of the corps will be to retain the youths in service and keep them out of combat action until they are completely trained. Doyle said the Long Beach youths joined the Marines with their parents' consent. The number of such pre-draft age youths (under 19) in the Marines totals into the thousands, Doyle said he was informed. He was told that to release them would riddle Marine corps units. (The Draft law provides for registration of youths after their 18th birthday but they are not being inducted until they are 19.)

TOKYO, Thursday, Aug. 3 (AP)—U.S. 24th Division troops recaptured hill positions northeast of Chinju and held on today in a flaming battle 40 miles from the main port of Pusan. The arching battleline was marked by burning villages all the way from the southern coast to abandoned Kumchon, which blazed, too. General MacArthur’s headquarters said U.S. Troops and the North Korean Sixth Division were locked in a grim battle east of Chinju at the western approaches to Pusan. “No gains by the enemy have been made in this fighting in the last 12 hours,” the war summary said. It was released at 12:55 a.m., (9:55 a.m., EST Wednesday). For 18 hours or more the battle between tanks, artillery and men raged on the heights just eight miles northeast of Chinju.

Lomar street By CARL HARTMAN PARIS, (AP)—America's leaders have no hope of defending Western Europe from a Russian attack if it comes tomorrow. But in "X" months—there's a top secret label on the value of "X" they believe Britain and France can be so strengthened morally and militarily that they could lead a successful stand. Authoritative sources here who describe that situation say the number of months "X" represents can be shortened if many Europeans are won away from the currently popular attitude of "What's the use?" That's the view being forcefully argued to the Europeans at North Atlantic Pact meetings in London and in man-to-man conferences with officials throughout Western Europe. The Americans make no effort to hide it, though they fight shy of putting their names to it publicly. The communist attack in Korea and its success have put the razor edge on American awareness of how helpless Europe would be in the face of a full Russian assault. Before, this was understood in a dull and distant way, if at all: This is the way they now paint the picture: The Russians, according to British Defense Minister Emanuel Shinwell, could put 175 army divisions into the field tomorrow. Western Europe probably could not scrape together 15. While it might not necessarily take 175 divisions to stop 175, it would take a lot more than 15.

Lemon street between Broadway and La Palma. At the same meeting the council also voted to spend $4000 for a 10 inch sewer line on E. La Palma street. The new line will extend from East street to the city limits and measure 1100 feet in length. City Engineer E. P. Hapgood told the council he already has purchased $1000 worth of the necessary pipe. A recommendation made by Police Chief Mark Stephenson to install a boulevard stop sign for southbound motorists at the intersection of East and North streets was also taken under advisement by the council. Action on procedure for the forthcoming Magnolia Sewer bond election, originally slated for consideration last night, was postponed until the regular Aug. 8 meeting. City Attorney Turner reported that preparatory material from other cities, who are to participate in the election and use much the same ballot proposition, was not yet available. Legal notice setting up form of proposition, polling places, officials and hours of elections will be issued following the next council session.
