It serves to empha size the question frequently asked, whether major concern has been electrical power In North Carolina or political power In Washington and Raleigh. That has been a major question ever since the state and federal governments first spon sored rural electrification programs in 1935. In that connection it might be appropriate to note for the record that North Carolina, dur ing the administration of Governor Wiringhaus. enacted a law setting up an REA program several months before the national congress auth orized a national REA program at instance of President Roosevelt.

In a 46-page document, sponsor ed by Dade County Reps. George • Okell and Dante Fascell “and others,” the governor was charged with accepting illegal campaign contributions, working with big time gambling interests, and ignor ing evidence against three sheriffs whom he put back in office after their suspensions. Although the articles prepared by Okell, onetime close friend and political supporter of the governor, contained some “new material.” they essentially formed a recap itulation of allegations brought out in testimony before the Kef- | auver Senate Crime Committee and | the House Haley Committee.

Lt Gen. James A. Van Fleet, commander of the victory-flushed Bth Army, said the Allied offensive will continue until “we finish them off.’’ The drive is “doing well,” he told newsmen at the front. Van Fleet declined to answer questions as to whether he thought the Chinese might be planning to quit fighting in Korea. Eighth Army spearheads trapped the fleeing Reds by slashing across their escape highways all across Korea. Tank-led columns plunged eight miles or more north of the 38th Parallel through the disinte grating enemy. 2,000 Reds Surrender Chinese troops were surrendering in wholesale lots for the first time. In the 11-month-old Korean war. A record 2,000 threw down their wea pons and gave up in a single action on the central front yesterday. ’Eighth Army headquarters offi cers said the enemy had lost all will to fight. They likened the moral and physical collapse of the Chinese to the North Korean break up in the Pyongyang sector of North Korea last October. All along the front, scattered troops of Reds were discarding their waepons and either surrendering o? donning civilian clothing in a last frantic attempt to escape north. Thousands of rounds of ammuni tion and hundreds of weapons were captured in dumps abandoned by. the Reds without a fight. . Some cornered Communists turn ed and fought, however.

Air Force Could Hot Handle Both (hina And USSR May 28— (W—Gen. Hoyt S. Vanden- Wtfg, Air Force chief of staff, testified today that the Un ited States is operating a “fflioestring Air Force” which ] could “lay waste” to indus ! try in Russia or China, but ! n£t in both. He told the Senate Armed Ser vice-Foreign Relations Committee th|s was why he opposed Gen. Douglas MacArthur’s proposal to bomb Communist bases in Man churia. He also asserted that while the Air Force could “destroy or lay wdste to all of Manchuria and the principal cities of China "—if it umd all its power—the action “might not and probably would not b« conclusive" to bring the Korean Wsr to an end. * While we can lay the industrial potential of Russia today waste, in my opinion, or we can lay the Manchurian countryside waste, as w«l as the principal cities of | China, we cannot do both, be cause we have got a shoestring Aif Force,” Vandenberg said. NOT ENOUGH MONET Appearing in the investigation of MacArthur’s dismissal, he bluntly toil the senators ” that the Air Fofrce now is like “trying to operate a ($20,000,000 business, with about $20,000.” Vandenberg made these points in] discussing of U. S. air power: 1. The Russians have, developed a jet engine used in the MIG-15 fighter—superior to any in the U. S/lAir Force but the American o*rs have the advantage of Jjaiperior training and gunnery con trol- He said the Soviet also can MV mass-produce “very exettlen*' 2. While today he opposes cross ing the Yalu River boundary to bomb Communist bases in Man j churia. this does not mean that he "might not be for it tomorrow, a month from now or six months from now.” 3. Strategic air power must be applied to the heart of the in dustrial centers to be efficient and the source of Chinese Communist military equipment is In Russia. 4. The U. S. Air Force “is the one thing that has up to date kept the Russians from deciding to go to war.” 5. The United States today “is relatively safe from air attack” but “tomorrow, in my opinion, we will not be.” APPROVED ORDER Committee Chairman Richard B.

As the conferees prepared to meet again on the differing House and Senate versions of the legisla tion, Ben. Richard B. Russell, D., Ga., said his" colleagues are will ing to compromise. However, Russell said that Is “If we don’t compromise ourselves out of an adequate national defense.” Russell was speaking primarily of a compromise on the UMT pro visions of the bills. The Senate version would auto matically start a UMT program Ni soon as the Selective Service set up is abandoned. The House bill endorsed UMT in principle, but more legislation by Congress would be necessary to start It.
