School board members in gen
eral were tight lipped about the
affair, although rumors regard
ing the investigation were being
tossed about by Salem High stu
dents Tuesday. One board mem
ber even denied the board had
discussed the secret society mat
ter. . i! ' - '
; During the past several years
Salem school authorities have
followed a determined policy to
root out illegal school clubs. The
last big court test of such action
was in 1950 when 19 Salem High
School students were expelled
for alleged secret society activ-;
ities.
1 The students, some of , them
prominent in school affairs, filed
suit in Marion County Circuit
Court seeking to have the ex
pulsion order set aside. The stu
dents lost and the case went to
the , Oregon Supreme Court but
was withdrawn before final ac
tion by the high court.
. . ;
Sr., called an Indefinite recess,
emphasized that the UN Command
was not ending the talks.
-He told the Reds it should now
be clear that the United Nations
Command will never agree to any
proposition which violates its basic
principle of no forced repatriation.
The sudden action could mean a
collapse of the talks during the
heaviest fighting in more than
year. .
In a lengthy statement Harrison
reviewed the 15-month history of
the sagging negotiations. It was
delivered during a 63-rnimite ses
sion at the first truce session in
10 days. H - .
Jie charged that the bloody riot
ing in the Koje island prisoner of
war camps was inspired by the
communists.
i ; At another point Harrison said:
! You have tried to deceive the
world into believing that you are
concerned with the rights and wel
fare of individuals. You have used
these conferences as a forum for
the most vicious type of DroDoean-
aa. xou nave not hesitated to use
lies, half-truths and distortion to
further your ends."
The three UN proposals donot
alter the basic Allied stand that
no prisoner be repatriated against

Red Push

By GEORGE A. Mc ARTHUR
SEOUL, Korea IR Gen. James
A. Van Fleet said Wednesday' Al
lied defenders had stopped the
greatest Chinese offensive in 12
months without any penetration of
the main U. N. battle positions.
His statement was issued as
front line reports said Chinese in
fantry attacking through a ! hail
of Allied artillery fire forced, a
new breach in , Allied defenses
northwest of Chorwon on the in
vasion route to Seoul.
Two Chinese companies spear
heading a force of 1,000 troops
cracked the stout South Korean
defenses on embattled White Horse
mountain, the reports said. :
The powerful Red offensive,
launched Monday night by 15,000
troops and the greatest Commu
nist 93.000-round artillery barrages
of the war, roared unabated
through its second night and into
the daylight hours Wednesday.
Limited to Outposts :
Action has been limited to out
posts and the enemy have been
clobbered in that zone. Van rleet
said.
"This has been the first test of
the Eighth Army's ability in many
months," its commander contin
ued. "The troops which have par
ticipated in the current action are
as elated over the good shooting
as I am. Morale has never been
higher." -
Van Fleet said the Communists
have the strength for "sizable
limited objective attacks through
out October and November.' How
ever, he said the Reds could not
support a general offensive for
such a period.
Fighting en 2 Peaks i ' -
Fighting flashed across three-
fourths of the 155-mile Korean bat
tle front but the brunt fell on White
Horse hill and Arrowhead Ridge.
These two peaks northwest of
Chorwon guard the ancient in
vasion route, to Seoul and South Ko
rea.
Late reports from the front told
of confused fighting on White Horse
Hill, a long mass : with . several
ridges. . -
Chinese and South Koreans were
battling for the crest, the reports
said. The Chinese cracked the
South Korean line on the lower
slopes.
At 10:30 a.m. a French observ
er spotted 1,000 Chinese reinforce
ments moving in on White Horse
and Allied guns cut the Red Col
umn to pieces.
Earlier, the Chinese won seven
outpost hill positions across 100
