VOLUME 1 Speaker Sees No Adjournment By Saturday RALEIGH, April 12— Hope of adjourning the 1951 General Assembly on Satur day appeared slim todav in the opinion of House Speak er Frank Taylor. “It’s a possibility, but not a probability,” the presiding officer of the lower chamber said. “We’ve still got so much work to do that I don’t see how we can finish up this week.” The speaker admitted that some assemblies had adjourned without considering all bills that had been introduced but said he had no intention of winding up the cur rent session on such a basis. Pending the “possibility” the House was postponing action on a joint resolution calling for ad journment sine die on Saturday. Members planned to act on it only if progress appeared to warrant its passage. 36 BILLS PASSED The lower chamber passed 36 bills in five and one half hours yesterday but at adjournment had acted on only half of the bills awaiting' their consideration. The rapid progress of the House came to an abrupt halt when mem bers took up a bill to restore the retirement pay of Judge Luther Hamilton. The House finally passed the measure 67-27 .but had to send it back to the Senate for concurrence in an amendment before it could become law. Members argued bitterly over the bill with the’ ex tremes being expressed by Reps. Richard Sanders of Durham who called the judge the victim of a poorly drawn statute and Rep. B. T. Falls of Cleveland who called the bill simply a pension. Hamlltoii’s pay was halted after the Supreme Court ordered a new trial in a case over which he had pretMoid. The court held that slnoe Hamilton rattled earlier on grounds of total (Usability he apparently war TKjr in condition to preside over a trial.

S. Super fortresses and 72 jet fighters destroyed or damaged 18 of 80 communist jet MIG-15s south of the Manchurian border today in the greatest jet air battle in history. The communists massed their greatest air armada of the Korean War in a cosUy and futile effort to prevent the Bombing of a major bridge leading over the Yalta River from Antung, Manchuria, to Sinuiju in northeast Korea. Between 30 and 40 bombers, riding through thick flak and enemy fighters to reach the target, claimed to have destroyed one jet. The U. S. F-84 Thunderjets and F-86 Sabrejets claimed two de stroyed, two possibly destroyed and 13 damaged.

NO. 88 Dismissal Os Gen. MacArthur Is Explained WASHINGTON, April 12 — (lP) —President Truman left the way open today for a negotiated peace in Korea— but not at any price. In a major defense of his foreign policy and his dis missal of Gen. Douglas Mac- Arthur, Truman warned Russia and Red China last night that the United States will continue to fight in Ko rea as long as necessary to defeat the communist goal of “controlling all Asia from the Kremlin.” The President took to the radio and televisions or 18 minutes to ex plain his firing of MacArthur and to outline the United States and United Nations objectives in Korea and the world fight against Com munism. Truman said he fired MacArthur because "the cause of the world peace is much more important than any individual,” and he made clear he considered the general’s policies stood in the way of achie ving peace. READY FOR PEACE The president said U. S. Far Eastern policy can be boiled down to “trying to prevent a third world war.” He said, “we are ready at any time to negotiate for a restoration of peace in the area.” “Real peace,” he said, “can be achieved through a settlement based on the following factors: “1. The fighting must stop. “2. Concrete steps must be taken the ys&Ung. will not “3. There must be an end to the aggression. “A settlement founded on these elements would open the way for . the 'unification of Korea and the withdrawal of all foreign forces.” Then he gave this pledge and this warning: “We do not want to see the conflict in Korea extended,” he said. “We are trying to prevent a world war—not to start one.
