By FRANK TREMAINE $ United Press Staff Correspondent
TOKYO, Thursday, Apr. 26 ~—United Nations troops opened up a “vacuum” today above Seoul to slaughter Reds. They broke off contact with a two-pronged enemy drive aimed at Seoul and pulled back to new defensive positions. Chinese Communists must pass through the “pen” to pick up the gage of battle. Officers said the vacuum would be a killing ground for United Nations planes and artillery. v The big guns already were roaring around the clock, pumping 2000 shells an hour into the Reds on the Western or Seoul

6c Hike First Break In Wage Ceiling
WASHINGTON, Apr. 25 (UP) —Economic Stabilizer Eric A. Johnston approved today a 6 cents an hour cost-of-living pay raise for a million nonoperating rail workers—the first break in the 10 per cent wage ceiling.
The new contract already had ‘been approved by the White
panel. The agreement had been held up because only 23 cents of
missible 10 per cent limit on wage increases. That's as high as wages can rise above January, 1950, levels. Mr. Johnston followed the recommendation of the fact-finding panel, which said bargaining on the railroads is “unique” and required “special standards” apart from wage stabilization .in-other industries.
