C., THURSDAY AFTERNOON, APRIL 2, 1953 ■ M mm Reds Ask ro Van Fleet Refused Permission To Use Plan To Beat Reds WASHINGTON (IP) An amphibious attack behind Communist lines in Korea similar to that- which Gen James A. Van Fleet was forbidden to undertake in 1951 now has the qualified okay of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. It is one of several war plans recently drafted by the Joints Chiefs without specific Pecommen datlon and for political, policy making consideration, f Favorable and unfavorable factors were set out for each plap. Very heavy cas ualtfes apparently would weigh against an amphibious “Operation Leapfrog” undertaken as part of a campaign to drive Communist for ces out of Korea and beyond the Yalu River. The Joint Chiefs' most recent compilation of alternate strategies was part of a continuing study. There is no reason to believe either the Truman or Eisenhower admin istrations ever asked specifically for a plan to end the war by military forces as quickly as possible. WOULD HAVE WON Van Fleet teptifted Wednesday that Us 1951 plan would have won the war but was rejected by Gen. Matthew B. Rldgway, then supreme commander In Tokyo. Van Fleet did not know whether Ridgway act ed on orders from Washington. Gen. Douglas MacArthur also believed he had a plan to end the war quickly. It led, instead, to his relief apd recall by President Tru man. The new Russian peace offen sive definitely is turning the Ko rean war again toward a negotiated truce. But the U. N. Aides have their fingers crossed Against some concealed gimmick by which the Communists may. seek merely to di vide the Allies or otherwise to ad vance the, Russian cause at the ex w^Sriiifr^iiii filed -afid forgotten. If not, they may become the basis for s new approach to Communist aggression. Gen. Omar N.' Bradley, chairman of the Joint |ChieCs, Indicated in a recent speech the great spread of alternate strategy with which the military brass confronts civilian pol icy makers. His outline included: FIVE POINTS 1. A« all-out drive to the Yalu to free Korea of Communist forces. 2. Extension of the war beyond BULLETINS WASHINGTON (!) President Ebenhower today nom inated Kenton R. Cravens, St. Lonis banker, to be admin istrator of the Reconstruction Finance Crop. Cravens would succeed Harry A. McDonald who resigned yesterday, effec tive May 1.

The pioneer Dunn citizen wul struck in front of the First Bap tist Church when he stepped into I the street in the path of a car driven by William Maynard, 18, of Dunn. 1 Coroner drover C. Henderson, who conducted the investigation, said the accident occurred et U.;10 o'clock- ■ Maynard, popular Dunn youth, told authorities that he wea driv ing only about 30 miles an hour and didn’t see Mr. Dowd until too late to avoid him. He quickly cut the car to the right In an effort to avoid hitting him, but struck the Yalu into Manchuria to des troy economic and military targets. 3. A naval blockade of Red China. 4. A ground, air and naval of fensive to bring b. N. lines north ward to the waist of the Korean peninsula. 5. Use of atomic weapons if op portunity offered. No. 1 and, probably. No. 4 would involve amphibious operations be hind the Communist lines. Brad ley said an all-out drive to the Yalu would require a greater mobil ization of industry and manpower at home and exact heavy casual ties in Korea. Bradley's speech and the Joint Chiefs’ war plans merely set out what the United States and United Nations could do without attempting to recommend what they should do.

ALTMAN This Store Really Family Enterprise The F. L. Altman store represents the development over the past fif teen years of what is distinctly a family enterprise. Floyd Altman readily admits that without the aid of Mrs. Altman, the expansion which resulted in the .recent re modeling would not ' have been achieved. . The venture started fifteen years ago as a filling station in the 12' by 22 foot wooden building, now used as a storage warehouse. How ever, Mr. Altman soon had calls from his customers for othet items, and he added a few groceries, nothing elaborate, but just staple items that would keep and had'a ready .sale.

He hesi tated, however, about building a larger store, but finally, yielding to Mrs. Altman’s insistance, he began planning for a larger building. - Mrs. Altman pointed out that both the children were in school, and that she would be able to de vote most of her time to the store so in 1945, the new store was built: It is a brick and concrete structure with 2,800 feet of floor space.
