There, on Thursday, the travel ers will open their week-long con gress to demand a Russian-style ban on the atom bomb and re duction and control of armaments. Britain's rejection at her borders of some "hundreds" of delegates including many of the Congress' leaders forced cancellation of elaborate plans in this steel and arms center. Poland stepped in when plans went awry with a promise of hos pitality. The congress committee had in vited some 2,500 to 3.000 delegates from 74 countries here. The bulk of the foreigners were refused ad mittance to Britain. Mrr. Nan Green, the Congress secretary, said the Czech airlines had offered to transport some dele gates to Warsaw. An urgent ap peal was made to Poland for a ship to carry others.

The cities affected are located on the western border of the so called tone one of western trunk line territory. The zone traditionally has freight rates somewhat lower than the eastern states and somewhat higher than the rest of the west so as to avoid too abrupt a change in the level of charges in the middle of the country. In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS . This, today, is the biggest ques tion in the world: WHAT ARE THE CHINESE COMMUNISTS UP TO IN KOREA? Are they running a bluff with the idea of making a settlement that will save face for communism in Asia? Or is it their purpose to DRIVE IS OUT OF KOREA, thus saving communism's face by shooting war? If the latter turns out to be IT, then World War III is in the off ing. For an answer to these grave questions, watch the Yaln river. It u the boundary between Korea and red Chinese Manchuria.

M. UPl A suicide guard kept watch all sight over 43-year-old Nancy Campbell Yale-lra ined woman doctor charged with kidnaping a rich contractor's nine-year-old daughter. Dr. Campbell dressed in men's clothes wat caught red-handed Saturday night when the reached for 120,000 ransom rash and 10 hid den FBI agents and police rushed her in the darkness. 'I'm only a go-between!" they said the shouted as they hurtled into her, thinking she wat a man. But in her convertible only a few feet away they found her be draggled victim blonde Linda Mamm. The little girl was groggy from a dose of sleeping medicine and chilled from exposure to the 9-degree above zero freezing tem perature, but otherwise unharmed. Later, after they found two mora ransom notes and a 25-caliber pis tol in tne woman s pockets, the FBI said she admitted luring the child away Friday from the Stamm't ranch estate in the wooded outskirts of Santa Fe . Dr. Campbell, who has a four-year-old adopted son. Rufus. said she was beset with debts and un paid bills and worried about her elderly parents, both injured in an auto crash last month. She was formally charged with kidnaping Sunday and held under $25,000 bond. If convicted, she would face from five years in pris on to death in the electric chair under New Mexico's severe kidnap law. Linda's mother, 32-year-old Mnr Allen Stamm, was shocked to find the admitted kidnaper was the same respected women's specialist who had delivered her second son, Craig Stamm, just two years ago. But after her 30-hour ordeal she had little sympathy for Dr. Camp bell. "I hope she will never be free again to bring to others what she has brought to us in heartaches and worry," she said. "It must not be allowed to happen again. . .this mistreatment of an innocent child. . .the leaving of a little girl to the mercy of winter." Despite her admissions, personal and professional friends rallied to Dr. Campbell's defense and said she must have been mentally de ranged to have done such a thing. City Thunderstruck Her attorney, former State Su preme Court Justice A. L. Zinn. said her friends had offered "hun dreds of thousands" of dollars for her bond. As soon as he can win her release, he said, he would have her taken to Albuquerque for hos pital care. Ssnta Fe was thunderstruck to learn Ihe identity of the kidnaper prominent citizen in this town of about 30.000. Dr. Campbell was an honor grad uate of the University of Texas. She took her medical degree at Vale in 1931 one of the first women to do so, and after her in ternship came to New Mexico as a doctor for the Indian service. In 1940 she set up private practice in Santa Fe as a women's specialist. She was obstetrician to many prominent Santa Fe families but her practice was charity work.

Service N.ar Normal But Edllie Smith, spokesman for PT4T said company officials had reported little operating difficulty. The picketed Portland ware house contained Western Electric supplies, Smith said, and the garage housed trucks used by PT&T installer,. Supervisory employes used to replace phone company workers who refused to cross Western El ectric company employes picket lines have kept service at nearly normal so far. Smith asserted. Ward, on the other hand, claimed picket lines had kept at high as 7 percent of regularly as signed telephone company work ers from their jobs in Portland. Western Electric and PTtT workers belong to different divi sions of the same union, but only those employed hy Western fclec tric, numbering 140 in Oregon, are on strike. A threat to file unfair labor prac tice charges against PT4T at Eu gene apparently has dissppeared. Smith said. The threat developed Saturday when phone operators, reporting for work after pickets were withdrawn, were tohl to re turn to their jobs at their next regular shifts. Normal work schedules were re sumed at Eugene Sunday, Smith said. Oregon Circuit Judge Resigns SALEM Pi Circuit Judge Homer I.

Forces Reds' Counter-Attacks Dent Extremes Of Line; B-29s Score Heavily SEOUL (Al A strong column of U. S. marines advanced 34 miles unopposed today through icy hills toward prized Changjin reservoir. The cautious push carried the marines to within four miles a ( their goal. Defense of the reser voir, facing the center of the North Korean front, was believed to be a. major reason for the belated entrance of Chinese Communists into the war. To the south the Third division, brought to full strength by Korean and Puerto Rican elements, linked up with the South Korean Eighth division to form a solid United Nations defense line across tha narrow waiat of Ihe Korean Penin sula. Fighting flared at both ex tremes of the battleline.- North Koreana guarding the approaches to the Soviet border attacked in force on the east coast Monday under cover of a blinding snowstorm. The Red spearhead battalion wat led by tankt and self propelled guns. It pushed across the Orangchon river, about 90 miles from the Soviet border, threaten ing to outflank a South Korean regiment. Near the west coast, U. f. First cavalry division unit advanced a mile and one-half. That carried them halfway to the walled town of Yongbyon. Patrols reached the walls but did not enter tne town. Heavy Communist resistance stoDoed other First cavalry troops near Won, eight miles southeast of Yongbyon. S. Korean Line Dented And five miles south of Won, an estimated' three regiments of Chinese Reds smashed a two-mile dent in lines of the South Korean Sixth division. Allied fighter-bombers halted thit drive, killing about l.ooo reds in a blazing attack two miles south of Kunu. The &outh Korean Seventh division moved up to bolster the Sixth. Elements of the U. S. 24th di vision advanced up to two miles on the extreme western end of the front, about IS milrt west of Won. An Eiehth army spokesman said this placed them in the vicinity of Tungsan, four miles northeast of Pakchon and about 60 miles south east of Sinuiju, entryway for Chi nese troops from Manchuria. Fleets of B -23s ranging back of tha fronts hammered again at Sin uiju and set three main supply points aflame with fire bombs. A spokesman at General Mac Arthur's Tokyo headquarters said both bridges across tne Yalu river from Manchuria to Sinuiju were believed knocked out after Mon day's attack. Forty B-29s made the fire attack. They loosed 340 tons of incendiaries on Sakcnu and cnossn, on tne vsiu river northeast of Sinuiju, and on Namsi, communications center be tween Sinuiju and the northwest front. Three other communications and supply centers were set aflame Sunday in the B 29 scorched earth raids. The air force is methodically burning out Red collection points for men and supplies. Admits Slaying That Sent Another Man To Prison NORRISTOWN, Pi. P) The Montgomery county district attor ney scheduled a conference with state police today to discuss a "con fession" by a man who ssys he killed Mrs. Miriam Green, pretty Pottstown (Pa.) divorcee, four years ago. The body of the 29-yesr-old di vorcee was found in her Pottstown apartment Dec. S, 1948. She had been garroted with a scarf. Gerald C Wentzel, 39-year-old Pottstown civic leader, was convicted of sec ond degree murder for the slaying and sentenced to 10 to 20 years in prison. He has stesdily maintained his innocence. The defense department said the confession csme from a soldier who hss returned to this country from Europe. A military spokes man said the statement gives the wrong date, by several months, for the tlsying of Mrs. Green. The soldier, whose name was not disclosed, wss a civilian when Mrs. Green was slain, the defense de psrtment ssid, and volunteered his statement while imprisoned on an other charge in a Berlin stockade. A wire recording was made and a copy of the statement was sent to Norristown alter the soldier had been returned to the U. S. as a prisoner.

Union Plans Renewed Campaign To Disturb Long Distance Service ' NEW YORK (. Federal mediators, pleading for a settle ment in the public's interest, taid neither union nor management had budged an inch over the weekend in the partial coast-to-coast tele phone strike. New bargaining talks were set for today in the pay and contract dispute. The CIO Communications Work ers of America (CWA) planned new "hit-and-run" picketing t snarl long distance lines of th a huge Bell system. The company ridiculed the union's four-day campaign of har assment and taid weekend long distance service wat normal. . The union conceded the com pany's latter claim, but explained it by saying weekend service de mands are light and that picketing was limited. The union promised a renewed campaign, which it as serted would have a definitely ad verse effect on long-lines operation and manually operated exchangea. The strikers have, been working on a system of flash picketing at big city exchanges. It it detigned to catch management unawares and throw the long dislance service into chaos before the company can mobilize enough clerks and super visors to man the switchboards. No Break In Sight There appeared to be no aiga of an early break in the four-day-ttrike, which grew out of long ttanding conflicte. Federal mediator Walter A. Mag giolo ssid the two maior units CWA division and Bell's Western Electric Co. still were far apart in the weekend talks. He ssid the union wants a 15 cent hourly raise, while the com pany's best offer is 11 1-4 cents. Present wages average from II S5 to $1.62 cents an hour The union also insists on a one-year contract only, while the company wants a two-year pact with a 16-month wage reopening clause. Strike's Street Veries The CWA claimed its 33 000 strikers have idled up to 37,000 other Bell workers who have hon ored picket lines. The CWA claims as member! 300,000 of the 500,000-odd Bell sys tem non-supervisory employes. But , because o( Bell's far-flung ac tivities, its wide tystem of tub- sidiary companies, diftcring unioa contracts, and partly obscure union allegiance, the strike situation is often complex. Automatic dial telephone service it nearly immune in a short ttrike, but a long walkout could drag it down, too, in the absence of tha Western Electric maintenance men. Effectiveness of the ttrike varied widely in the 44 itatos affected by the walkout. Injunctions stopped or curtailed picketing in Alabama, In diana, Iowa and Ohio, and threat ened to do so in New Jersey, , More Facilities . Needed For State Polio Patients PORTLAND (Pi Oregon's polio planning committee is ex pected to meet this week to dis cuss ways of expanding the state's hospital facilities for infantile par alysis patients.
