In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS From Korea: "U. S. marines today beat back 400 Chinese reds charging Bunker Ridge, which had been won earlier bv the Leathernecks. . . A U.S. Eighth army staff officer said the Chinese suffered heavy casualties in their attack on the entrenched marines." Before today's attack on Bunker Bidge began, the marines estimat ed they had killed or wounded 553 reds in the Bunker Ridge sector since bitter fighting erupted there last Saturday. You will note, of course, that in these bloody ruckuses we enum erate the scalps of our fallen foes (back in the early days of the West, the Mountain Men called it "counting coos") with meticulous accuracy, but mention our own losses only in weekly casualty lists. Still, it is obvious, even on this basis of comparison, that in the Korean fighting enemy losses out number our own many, many times over. That leads to these what are the reds up to?

ROSEBURG, OREGON WEDNESDAY, Boy Scouts' Wreck Plan Of Commies Investigation Reveals Party's Plot To Gain Ends By Infiltraion WASHINGTON I - A Commu nist scheme to infiltrate the Boy Scout movement and feed its youngster-members "Communism with sugar coating" was described in sworn testimony made public Wednesday by Senate investigators. The Internal Security subcommit tee in a report to the Senate termed it part of a Moscow-inspired plan to warp generations of teen-agers to the Kremlin's views, in the schools, colleges, churches and youth organizations. "I can conceive of few greater crimes," said Senator McCarran (D-Nev), the subcommittee chair man, in a statement released with the report. McCarran now is in Reno, Nev. The report includes a transcript ot sworn testimony given last March 5 by Harvey M. Matusow of Dayton, Ohio, a self-styled form er Communist now an agent of the Ohio Commission on Un-American Activities. The hearing was behind closed doors. Matusow said -the Communists, after a futile effort in the 1930's to undermine the Scout movement, switched to the infiltration plan, under which they hoped to mix secret Red agents among the scouts. The subcommittee published photographic copies of Communist literature Matusow said was used in 1930 and later In an effort to set up a Communist-led organization known as 'Young Pioneers" as a rival to the Boy Scouts. "The Boy Scouts is an organiza tion for capitalist wars!" read cap tions emblazoned on the covers of this literature. "Smash the Boy Scouts! Join the Young Pioneers!" The document was larded with slogans that "Boy Scouts are for bosses' wars" and "Boy Scouts take part in murder of striking workers."

Eisen hower says Adlai Stevenson's White House visit shows the Tru man administration is determined to continue its policies through its hand-picked successor. Those policies. Gen. Eisenhow er charges, have carried the na tion to a situation "of bewilder ment, indecision and fear for the future." In his sharpest attack on the Democrats since his own nomina tion for the presidency, Eisen hower declared Tuesday night in a written statement the Washing ton conferences between Gov. Ste venson of Illinois and administra tion leaders presented these "far- reaching mplications: 1. The question as to whether the President and his cabinet "can possibly contemplate using re - ' isuerai Koverninew lo influence the judgments of voters." 2. An implied decision tu involve non-political officers, through the inclusion of military and national security personnel In the meetings, in a political campaign "in which they have no pari." 3. "The obvious fact that the Democratic party, if given another four years to control our destinies, would not change its policies." "The American people want a change," Eisenhower said flatly. Then he gave a hint of issues he will pound at during his campaign by declaring: "They want a change in order to replace corruption with honesty; reckless spending with economy; inflation with economic stability; mismanagement in foreign affairs with clear-cut policies and pro grams for positive peace; brazen assertions of 'inherent power' with constitutional government, both in spirit and deed."
