S’ also be entitled to the additional
25,M0 special votes, as stated in

50,M# extra votes on each and

LICENSING—BiIIs have been in
troduced in the present legislature
proposing to establish examining
and licensing boards for opticians
and real estate agents. It IS under
stood that effort which proved fu
tile once or twice before will be
revived to grt a separate board for
licensing undertakers and funeral
directors, now partially covered by
the embalmers board.
RE-VAMPlNO—Proposals for es
tablishing; additional licensing
boards admittedly do not have
much chance of passage. Some of
the aims are sought to be reached
through re-writing statutes govern
ing existing boards so as to broad
en their powers and include some
functions not in the present law.
The whole section of General Sta
tutes affecting the Board of Reg
istration for engineers and land
surveyors has been re-written in a
pending bill, now in the hands of
a subcommittee. In some respects
the pending act would liberalize
provisions, in some others it would
place more authority in hands of
the examining bodrd. This would
be achieved largely through re
wording of definitions. Similar ef
fect would be obtained by pending
amendments te the chiropody
board. Practice of chiropodists has
been limited to-ailments of human

General Flies To Front
As Red Armies Reel From
Bloody Defeat In Korea
TOKYO, Feb. 20—(IP)—Gen. Douglas McArthur flew to
the Korean battlefront today and ordered his forces to re
new their attacks on Red armies already reeling from one
of the bloodiest defeats of modern times.
His order to resume the initia
tive was expected to send the U.S.
Bth Army surging north toward the
38th Parallel in a new "limited
offensive” that may topple Seoul,
former capital of South Korea.
MAY NOT CROSS BORDER
But MacArthur said he would
not arbitrarily send UN forces
North of the 38th Parallel again
if UN members advance "cogent
political” objections.
He sajd President Truman had
indicated that crossing the old
border between North and South
Korea “is a military matter to be
resolved in accordance with my
best judgment as theater com
mander.”
But, he said:
“I want to make it quite clear
that if and when the issue actual
ly arises, I shall not arbitrarily ex
ercise that authority if cogent po
litical reasons against crossing are
then advanced and there is any
reasonable possibility that a lim
itation is to be placed thereon.
QUESTION STILL ACADEMIC
"Meanwhile, I repeat that at
this time the question is academic.”
MacArthur’s statement indicat
ed that there will be high-level
conferences among U. S. diplomats
and those of other countries such
as Britain known to oppose cross
ing the parallel while there is even
a slim chance of negotiating a
settlement with Red China.
MacArthur’s order to attack
came after UN forces seized the
