NEW YORK UP) Special ists battled today to curb a severe polio epidemic in an upstate New York area, while from across the nation, figures indicated this may be the second worst year of the disease in U. S. history. The National Foundation for In fantile Paralysis last night ordered specialists to the Utica, N. Y., vicinity, where 129 persons have been infected this summer. Eleven have died, five in the last 36 hours. Meanwhile, Basil O'Connor, foundation president, said 15.233 new polio cases had been reported across the country this year up to Sept. 9. For the last 11 years, he said, there have been as many cases after the first week of September as before. If this trend bears out. me uumurr siricaen mis year will surpass the 1948 total of 27,. 902. second highest on record. The worst year was 1949 when there were 42,173 cases. Three Harvard specialists, one of them accompanied by a polio epidemic aid team and two baby doctors, were sent to the Utica area, the foundation said. There were 73 active cases hos pitalized there as of last night. Most of those stricken have been adults. TO ROSE MARIE AND JOANNIE: Soldier's Letter Notification He COLLINGDALE, Pa.

Oct. 1 Income Excess Profits WASHNGTON (IP) An Oct. 1 boost in income taxes for more than 50,000.000 Americans was practically assured today, because Congress decided not to delay the tax bill for an excess profits tax at this time. Both the House and Senate have declared in favor of passing an excess profits tax later, and mak ing it apply retroactively to either one-half or one-fourth of 1950 cor poration income. So little doubt remains that there will he a multa-billion-dollar levy on big profits and that it will apply to part of Acts For Defense Expected At Meet NEW YORK UP) Decisions that will revolutionize the defenses of the West against possible Rus sian aggression are : expected to be taken by the North Atlantic treaty council which opens a two- day meeting here today. , The foreign ministers of the United States, Britain and France, indicated by their own joint announcement, will recommend that the 12-nation council take "immediate effective steps" to create in westecn Europe a unified military to;ce capable of turning back any Red assault from the ast.

But it's uncertain whether Cong ress will come back after the Nov ember elections to pass such a bill or put it off for the new 82nd Congress --in January. The Senate last night, after a hot debate, refused to join the House in a resolution that called for the writing of the excess profits bill as "early as practicable" during the present session of Congress. The present Congress goes out of existence Jan. 3. The Senate, in stead, stuck to Us action taken previously, when it wrote into Cool Spell Continues Over Most Of Country CHICAGO UP) September's cool spell continued over the northern parts of the country to day and not much warming ap peared in prospect over the week end.

Ban On Fishing Gear In Effect SALEM UP) The ban on fixed fishing gear voted by the people nearly two years ago now is in effect. Circuit Judge George Duncan Thursday afternoon dissolved injunction which had halted ap plication of the law. The ban had been carried to the supreme court. Judge Duncan acted after receiving an order from the supreme court directing dismissal of cases that had come before it. The initiative law prohibits con struction, installation or use of fixed gear in the Columbia river or its Oregon tributaries for the taking of Salmon, salmon trout or steelhead. The fish commission said in Portland enforcement now ia man datory. At Astoria, trade sources said enforcement would put 400 fisher men out of work. Seiners operate fixed gear in eight areas of the Columbia and some 50 traps are in use. They have accounted in the past for about 18 percent of the average pack of 300,000 cases.

Chairman Vinson (D-Ga) an nounced the vote. The senate armed aervicea committee had previously approved the legisla tion. The opposing votea in the house committee were cast by Republi cans: Reps. Short of Missouri, Arendi of lllionois, Shafer of Michigan, Elston of Ohio, Towe of New Jer sey, Gavin of Pennsylvania and Myer ot Kansas.

The air force sent a plane with Red Cross workers and medical supplies. Three villages were reported by the Red Cross as being threatened by falling ashea . Clash Threatens Over Jap Treaty WASHINGTON (&) Presi dent Truman's goahead signal for a Japanese peace treaty raised the certain prospect today of a new clash with Russia over which nations shall draft it. Mr. Truman has authorized the state department to discuss pre liminary steps with 12 other world war Pacific allies, including dov iet Russia, he said yesterday. His formal statement of the U. S. decision ignored a demand Mos cow has been making for the last three veara that the treaty be drafted by the big four Pacific powers alone the U. S., Britian, Russia and Communist China. The President thus appeared to imply that if Russia refuses to go along the U. S. will press the non-Communist nations to make peace with Japan without the Soviets. Mr. Truman declined at a news conference to say that this will be done. Emergency Defense Bill Final Approval Is Near WASHINGTON -IIP) Congress pressed tuday tovajrd final ap proval of a multi billion -dollar emergency defense bill aimed at blocking Communist aggression.

Becked by a mighty armada of ships of eight nations, lend forces stormed ashore on both coetts behind Communist lines in invasions which may break the beck of the three-months-old North Korean invesion. U.S. marines end infantry stormed ashore In force at Inchon, west coast port of the fallen South Korea capital, Seoul, opening a second front roughly 150 miles behind the tight bettle cockpit in the southeast. Spearheaded by tanks, the Americans knifed swiftly two miles into Inchon, 22 miles west of Seoul.

A congressional campaign execu tive appraised the party's chances, as of today, at a minimum gain of aix aenat and 31 house seats Nov. 7. But .he aaid the ball is just starting to roll. His minimum estimate would not be enough to control either house. But it would give tne uur a tie in the senate seals, 48-48 assum ing; no incumbent Republicans lose.

The voters are sore at the Democrats, he declared, and tired of President Truman's "ad mitted mistakes," In 1948. he said, the voters de clared they had "had enough, but thia year they are saying we ve had too much.' " Gabrielson spoke last night be fore top Republican leadera from 43 states. A 20-state central region GOP conference is ending today and Young Republican! are meet ing tomorrow. General Electric Settlement Told NEW YORK UP) A tenta tive settlement on "all contract issues" was reached today by the General Electric Co. and the United Electrical, Radio and Ma chine Workers of America (lnd). The announcement, first made by the union, was confirmed later by a spokesman for the company. The UE, claiming to represent 45.000 workers in 46 General Elec tric plants, said negotiationa of details were continuing on insur ance and pension issues. Detaila of the reported agree ment were not disclosed. The huge electrical firm ha been engaged in protracted negoti ations with the UE and also the CIO International Union of Elec trical Workers, which claims to represent 60,000 workers m N Ot plants. There have been acattered strikes during the negotiations in plants represented by the IUE. Workers walked out in Lynn, Mass., Syracuse, N. Y., and in other cities. Vocation For Congress Unlikely, Say Leaders WASHINGTON UP) Senate leaders held out only a glimmer of hope today that Congress could go through with its earlier plan to start a pre-election vacation to morrow. Democratic Leader Lucas of II linoia said there was still some hope that all "must" legislation could b. cleared by tomorrow night but that he had "serious doubts." Republican Leader Wherry of Ne braska agreed mat prospects were slim.

The ban the Senate approved would be in effect at any time United States forces are fighting for the United Nations, as they are at present. The house bill has no such provision. The senate bill would provide Stl.736.000.OU0 an Increase of 894.- 000,000 over the house figure for bolstering this country a own mil itary Machines. In addition, both bills carry 84.000.000,000 to help arm friendly nations abroad. Both bills provide for 5.333 new American war planes and for a variety of other military equipment. South Korean forcea swept ashore at(two points on the east coast, posing the threat of a vast pincers. Gen MacArthur personally led the west coast landing.

Should it be considered indica tive ot a possible profound change ' in the traditional thinking of Amer icans, always averse to fighting? If such a trend is setting in. tha sole cause for it is Russia her self. Nothing but fear of Commu nist aggression, culminating in at tack upon the United States, could compel Americans to abandon de liberately soft and abundant peace time living for a devastating war. Indeed, the decision to go into the Korean war and to begin gen eral rearmament sprang from the same cause. The latest discussion of prevent ive atomic war comes from a member of the senate armed serv ices committee, Senator Russell (D-Ga). He told reporters yester day that "to keep on saying to the American people and tha world that we will not strike first snd that we will wait until our land is desolsted and our cities made crematoriums for our dead is just plain foolish." Russell thought the "first two or three bombs ought to hit the Kremlin." Russell had praised a recent comment by secretary of the navy Francis P. Matthewa suggesting preventive war as one way to "compel peace."
