Chinese Reds Named As Alien Troops In Korea
—Beat OU—
Lake Success, N.Y., Nov. 6—(U.P.) The United States today named the Chinese Communist army as the "alien" troops which Gen. Douglas MacArthur has reported are fighting United Nations forces in Korea.
MacArthur amplified his commune of Sunday night with this statement:
"The U.N. forces in Korea are continuing their drive to the north and their efforts to destroy further the effectiveness of the enemy as a fighting force are proving successful. However, in certain areas of Korea, the U.N. forces are meeting a new foe. It is apparent to our fighting forces, and our intelligence agencies have confirmed the fact, that Nicosia poses a hostile contact with Chinese Communist military units deployed for action against forces of the United Command."
Although MacArthur did not ask for new diplomatic action by the U.N. at this time, the 70-year-old supreme field commander of the U.N. said:
"The continued employment of Chinese Communist forces in Korea and the hostile attitude assumed by such forces, either inside or outside of it, is incumbent upon me to bring at once to the attention of the U.N."
MacArthur's present mandate from the Security council, empowerers him only to drive to the Yalu river boundary and crush the North Korean Communist armies.
Although American sources said the U.S. planned to press no charges against the Peiping government "at this time" nor ask authorization for MacArthur to send his U.N. forces into Manchuria, it was clear that the order had not been followed. N ese Communist army he would have to cross the border to strike the enemy at the source of its strength.

Puerto Rico Resents U.S. Control
In Tokyo, Gen. Douglas MacArthur denounced Chinese intervention as "one of the most offensive acts of international lawlessness," and asked the United Nations what they wanted him to do about it.
MacArthur reminded the U.N. that the Red reinforcements have "large alien reserves and adequate supply . . beyond the limits of our present sphere of military action."
Officials here and in Korea waited to hear whether the U.N. would authorize MacArthur to bomb enemy bases in Manchuria.
A 5th air force spokesman reported that an MIG-15, one of Russia's newest and deadliest jet fighters, attacked four U.S. Mustang fighters that sighted it crossing the Manchurian border.
The U.S. air force already was pounding forward bases in Communist Korea.
"MIG-15 jets have been reported in the North Korea area for the last several days," a spokesman said, "but they were seen in the act of crossing the international border for the first time this afternoon."
Puerto Rico's sentiment against the United States is much more widespread and intense than the sporadic outbursts would indicate, said Dr. Walter M. Kollmorgen, chairman of the department of geography.
"The explosion in Puerto Rico doesn't surprise me," said Dr. Kollmorgen who has made a considerable study of the political and economic aspects of the small island. "And a house-to-house canvas would undoubtedly give an even more vivid picture of their anti-American feelings."
"Washington, D.C., to the average Puerto Rican, suggests exploitation and domination as Wall street in New York suggests to many Americans the exploitation of labor," he said. "They view Washington as the seat of oppression."
Steadily growing Chinese ground forces punched at least two dents in the Allied line—at Pakchon, captured from the 27th British commonwealth brigade, and about 10 miles to the east where the U.S. 24th division was driven back almost a mile. The British brigade gave up about four miles to the attackers.
Dr. Kollmorgen said that the Puerto Rican recycles the days when under Spanish rule they felt as first-class citizens. Now however, many of the natives feel that "when they came under United States rule they became third-class Americans because of our tendency to discriminate on the basis of color and status."
A common saying on the island is "the wind that unfurled the American flag blew freedom from the ile."
Twenty-two B-29 bombers almost leveled the supply center at Kangye, 20 miles from Manchuria, in the biggest raid in weeks and the first all-out fire raid of the war. The stated fires so far of the dailer to arrive have to bomb by instrument through dense clouds of smoke.
to the present, Dr. Kollmorgen emphasized Puerto Rico's great population increase. "They have the most rapidly increasing population of any place in the world."
In interpreting the past in relation
Of Pufer Rico's 3,400 square miles only 30 per cent is arable land and another 10 per cent is under cultivation. The population averages between 600 and 700 persons per square mile and if the waste land is excluded this number more than doubles.
Due to an extensive program carried on there by the United States the death rate has been sharply reduced and the birth rate of 40 per thousand population has been maintained. There is little chance that it will drop appreciably in the near future.
The island is economically poor and cannot possibly support its people adequately. Every year Puerto Rico shows a deficit in terms of imports and exports. This unusual situation is possible only because all excise taxes are refunded by the United States government which pours about 100 million dollars a year into the island. Despite this generous subsidy the standard of living has shown little improvement.
Agriculture is the islands chief economic activity. There are no mineral fuels and few other industrial minerals.
In view of our experience in Puerto Rico, Dr. Kollmorgen feels that we would do well to temper some of our global plans of bringing economic salvation to all people of the world.
Dr. Kollmorgen said that in connection with Puertoro Rio's position in world affairs, "It is important to remember that the island is merely a pin-point on the earth's surface. We have been working there over 50 years without achieving any economic success despite the many millions of dollars spent."
"Puerto Rico is a good object lesson to the United States in what is likely to happen when we work with people living in the so-called backward parts of the world," said Dr. Kollmorgen. "They multiply far more rapidly than we can increase jobs and income and bringing money and goods to them does not necessarily assure friendship and cooperation."
