TOKYO. Friday, Aug 4 <UE —
Nparlv 90 000 American and South
Korean troops defending their
shrunken beachhead along a new
line of no retreat fended off the
first tattoo of Communist feeler
punches at it today.
Powerfully reinforced by the ar-
rival of the U. S. Marines 1st Di-
vision \nd other forces, the al-
lies at last almost matched in
numbers the Communist army
striving to hart them Into the
sea, a dispatch from U. S. Eighth
Armv headquarters reported.
North .Korean Communist forces
flooding in on the heels of a U. 8.
general retreat to the Naktong river
defence line were within 30 to 96
miles of Pusan and within eight
miles A Taegu the South Korean
provisional government.
An Eighth Army spokesman said
men of ‘.ne C. S. 24th division stood
fas* under strong Communist at-
tacks. supported by heavy artlOeijr
and mortar fire, on the main high*
way due west of Pusan, the base
port of the beachhead which nour
is about the size ot Connecticut.
Big concentrations of Communist,
foives were moving up against Utt
Naxtong line from the north and
southwest the spokesman reported.
The United Nations forces dug in
behind their new line late Thursday
by blowing up the last bridges over
the Naktong at Waegwan. lt miles
northwest o' Taegu. The remaln-
der of the bridges had been de-
molished in the general fallback to
the line on which the defenders
ware entrenched behind (Mb Beet
natural barrtcad since the Kura
river line ’rumbled.
U. 8. and South Korean engi-
neers destroyed two ra Bread
bridges and one highway spaa
ov-r the Naktong at 8:36 p.m.
Thursday. The Iasi Americana
hid just withdrawn from the for-
mrir 1st Cavalry division satieat.
The last GI’s over the bridged
were seven stragglers who had been
cut off for two days since the
Americans began to fade beck to-
ward the new line.
Powerful air strikes through al-
most cloudless skies blasted Com-
munist troop concentrations, tanks
and vehicles all around the rim of
the beachhead. They set fire to
scores of villages alo^g the enemy
front lines.
On the east coast. South Korean
forces pushed on to the north after
recapturing Yongdok. It miles up
the omst from Pusan, with the aid
of big guns of an American cruteer
and escorting destroyers.
A communique Issued by U. 8. tth
Army headquarters In Xorea at
9 pm. said the only "real fighting’
of the day was in the east and
south coast areas. It said the Sooth
Korean 3rd division still Was at-
; tacking against stubborn resistance
> to seize high ground north of Yoog-
dok
On the south toast. It uaM, the

continued until Aug. 10,
Judge Hughes expected them to be
lengthy end said he couldn't hear
them all the same day.
Permanent closing for Dram-
right night spots, the Fon-du-lac
club and Hicham's Athletic shop
has mho been asked for by the
county attorney. Originally slated
for July 14. the hearings were con-
tinued until Aug. 4. Sam Denyer
prosecuting attorney, said yester-
day they had been continued
again until Ang. 11.
The county attorney's office ask-
ed that the places be closed perman-
ently June 8. All were padlocked
with the exception of the Club Cafe
which was kept open under bond.
June 19. Prank Wallace, operator
of the Fon-du-lac, was also permit-
ted to post bond to operate his three
tourist cabins. Under provisions of
the agreement allowing for opera-
tion of the legal side of the busin-
esses. any Illegal operation automat-
ically forfeits the 61.500 bonds post-
ed and closes the doors of the places.
"My present opinion on the mat-
ter.” Judge Hughes said In delaying
his decision yesterday is that find-
ing liquor one time on the premises
of an establishment is not evidence
enough to close the place perman-
ently as a public nuisance.
"Illegal operations of such pla-
cet can be Injulned." continued
the judge, “and if further evidence
Is Introduced to show any illegal
activities take place under temp-
orary injunction, it Is my present
idea a permanent Injunction
would be Justified and legal.”
Judge Hughes said he would pass
judgement on the two cases sub-
mitted before him after he had
further time to study past decisions
on slmlliar civil proceedings. Exam-
ples submitted by the defense were
rot sufficient to form the basis for ;decrees have been granted:
a final decision. Alfred Casey vs. Dora Jones

WASHINGTON. Aug 3 <U.P> _
The house Ignored President Tru-
man's wishes today and voted tenta-
tively to put price-wage controls
into effect automatically if prices
jump five per cent above the June
15 cost-of- living index
It acted only a few hours after
Mr Truman again asked Con-
gress not to tie his hands In any
wage-price-rationing control pro-
gram it might adopt
The house-adopted version would
give the president no tar in the
matter of invoking price-wage
control*
The "automatic" clause was writ-
ten into the control bill by voice
vote after the house voted 56 to 42
against imposing wage-price con-
trols immediately.
The house also rejected by voice
vote a proposal to delay wage con-
trols until lt acts to control profits
The automatic proposal was spon-
sored by Rep Clinton D McKinnon.
D. Cal. it was similar to one con-
sidered by the senate banking com-
mittee yesterday at the suggestion
of Sen J William Fulbright. D . Ark
The status sf the legislation in
the house was such that the vote
rould be reconsidered later.
McKinnon's amendment would
take the authority for putting price
and wage controls into effect out of
the hands of the president. They
would go into effect automatically
if the cost of living increased by 5
per cent, as computed by the bureau
ot labor statistics.
