Allies Move Forward
Without Resistance
Ridgway Pays
Visit To Korean
Battlefront
TOKYO, Saturday, M'ay 5
—(W—-United Nations hold
ing forces on the west cen
tral Korean front moved
their lines forward several
miles without interference
by the communist army.
From tlplr new positions the
ON forces sent patrols farther
north searching for the Reds. The
only enemy they found was a
single Chinese soldier wounded
four days ago by Allied artillery.
The new northward movement
was made after Lt. Gen Matthew
B. Ridgway paid a flying 21-hour
visit to the Korean battlefront and
conferred with his commanders
there under the wing of an army
liason plane.
In a frontline interview Ridgway
predicted the Reds would strike
again and they would be defeated.
The only thing they will accomp
lish, he said, will be to add more
"tens.of thousands... to the bloody
price they have been paying.”
He also hinted that the United
Nations have new tricks of war
up their sleeves with which to sur
prise the communists.
“If the enemy decides to renew
his attack, he's going to get more
than he reckoned on,” Ridgway
| said.

VIENNA, AfiPtrla. May 4-UP-
The U. S. JHI Soviet commqwders
in Vienna opened a joint inves
tigation today into the slaying of
an American military policeman by
two uniformed Soviet officers.
A blast from a "burp gun" fir
ed by one of the Russians without
warning felled MP Cpl. Paul J.
Gresen of New York City with
seven slugs in his stomach early
this morning. He died within min
utes.
A second American MP, who
with Greaen had halted the Rus
sians on a Vienna street for a
routine check, returned the fire;
He said he believed he had wound
ed one of the slayers, but both
escaped. An Austrian civilian was
wounded in the leg by the cross
fire.
The Communist version of the
incident, published in the news
paper Der Abend, was that one
of the Americans opened fire with
a pistol when the two Russians
ignored a command to halt.

City May Give
Employes Cost Os
Living Raises
The bite of inflation may be
taken off city employes’ salaries
under the new budget for the
1951-52 fiscal year, City Manager
R. Thpmas Hobbs said today.
Hobbs stated that he will recom
mend to the Incoming city coun
cil that "small” cost of living in
creases be tacked into the present
wages of Dunn’s 50-odd employes.
Other cities and towns in North
Carolina have taken similar steps
to keep salaries in line with rising
costs, he commented. Hobbs gave
no indication of the size of the ex
pected boost, but said that lt would
depend on the revenue picture for
the coming year.
At present, salaries take a
$90,000-plus chunk out of Dunn's
$260,000 budget.
The city manager said the new
budget will be ready for presenta
tion to the new council May 21,
when they take office for the first
time. Approval of the budget is ex
pected before July 1, the first day
of the new fiscal year.
WILL GET HIGHWAY FUNDS
The Powell city streets aid bill,
recently passed by the General As
sembly, will help ease the pres
sure on Dunn’s tax-payers, Hobbs
remarked.
The city may get as much as
$25,000 in the next year’ for the
maintenance of streets and high
ways, he said. The present budget
provided just a shade under $30,000
for the upkeep of Dunn's roadways.
Despite the relief afforded by
the streets aid fund, which will
be administered by the State High
way and Pubic Works Commission,

WASHINGTON, May
(IP)—Sen. William F. Know
land, R., Cal., disclosed to
day that restrictions were
placed on Gen. Dougia*
MacArthur’s use of American
air power “within Korea it
self” in fighting the Korean
War.
The disclosure came, as the
Senate Armed Services-Foreign
Relations Committee questioned
MacArthur for a second day. **,
Knowland, the official transcript
of the proceedings showed, ob
jected to deletion from yesterday’s
censored transcript of a teletype
message which MacArthur read
dealing with restrictions.
Without disclosing specifically
what the restrictions were. Know
land said to the committee that
until he hearfi MacArthur read
the message yesterday. “I did not
understand that there were re
strictions within Korea itself,
which was under aggression from
the Chinese communists,” as well
as the ban on bombing supply
bases in Manchuria.
Knowland suggested that the
message should have been para
phrased to protect code security,
and then released, because it “deals
with this question of limitations
upon bombing within Korea.”
