Register-Guard, Eugene, Ore., 4A Sun., Sept. 21, 1952 Russia Claims U. N. Recaptures 'Old Baldy' Hil! SEOUL, Korea, Sunday (IP Unit ed Nations infantrymen, confusing the Communists with dummy at tacks and fake radio messages, re captured strategic Old Baldy Hill Sunday with a sudden, violent as sault. Allied troops stormed to the crest of the height west of Chor- won on the Western Front and the surprised Reds offered no heavy, resistance. An American soldier was found alive on top the naked, shell rocked hill. SURVIVED TWO DAYS "The soldier had been holed up in a bunker for two days," report ed United Press War Correspond ent Frederick C. Painton from the front. "Somehow he had survived two days of Allied and Communist ar tillery and mortar fire. He was wounded, but he will live. Communist defenders of the em Organization Of Red Cross MOSCOW lfl Russia first or ganized the Red Cross Society, Soviet readers were told Sat urday. The press reported a lecture by V. A. Holodkov sponsored by the all-union society for spread ing political and scientific knowledge. "Examination of history re veals that the very idea of set ting up Red Cross societies arose in Russia and not abroad," Hol odkov said. He dated this Russian Inven tion to the time of the Russo Polish war in the mld-17th cen tury. In addition, he said, the Rus sian society played leading roles in setting up the International Red Cross committee in Switzer land in 1863.

NEWSMAN vs. NEWSMAN Aboard the train, the writer was quizzed for 15 minutes by Jim Mur ray, a Time Magazine reporter accompanying Nixon. Murray, tak ing rapid notes wanted to know how Eugeneans felt about what he called "the Nixon scandal," the area's previous voting preference. party registrations, economic wealth, populations, etc. The interview ended, Murray for the first time asked the identity of the writer. "Oh, I thought you were a local Republican!" he said on learning it. But he took a few more notes anyway. Just to make things even, the writer interviewed Murray who had this to say: "Nixon seemed over-confident and that's never a good thing, until this money thing came along. That settled him down and made him nervous. Now his speeches are more vigorous, more sincere. They tried to ignore the $16,000 at first, you know, a pretty foolish thing. DON'T SEE NIXON "Nixon? No, we never see Nixon. There are no press conferences. We one and two work topic reminders, had a briefing before this tour There are less than a dozen entries, started, but that's all.

Until now. the board has been neutral on the issue. Members of the board issued the following statement, however, giving their reasons why they believe "this is not the proper time for the estab lishment of kindergartens in our system. The statement: "In normal times and under or dinary circumstances the Eugene attack! school board would welcome the addition of kindergartens to the school program. It appreciates the contribution kindergartens can make to the education of children. "These are not, however, normal times in this district, and in the "They will probably again," he reported early today, "but as of right now we hold Old Baldy." While the Allies took the initia tive on Old Baldy, the Chinese launched a series of attacks else where on the Western and Central i board's judgment this is not the Fronts. LOST ONE HILL The U.N. lost one hill. Advancing with tank support, Chinese captured a low hill south of the truce village of Panmunjom. South Korean infantrymen bat tered back an attack on Finger Ridge on the Central Front and killed or wounded 300 Chinese. proper time for the establishment of kindergartens in our system. During the past few years the board has had to ask the voters to approve expenditures of several million dollars for new buildings and each year must ask them for approval of an operating budget in excess of the six per cent limitation by more than a million dollars. "After the current year the need will, because of greatly increased enrollments, become even more acute. Not only will the board have to ask for increased operating bud gets to care for greater numbers of children each year, and to meet further inflationary costs, but it must also ask approval of addition al building funds to house six hun dred more new children each year. "With the completion of current building projects now under coh-j tract, building funds already voted will have been used except for a ! $250,000 serial levy which ends in , 1953-54. This levy, probably with a : substantial increase, must be 'oted again next year or it will not be possible to provide enough rooms for the children. "In voting on the establishment of i kindergartens, providing the funds with which to operate them for the first year, and to build the rooms, the school board asks only that the people keep in mind these addition al needs which must be met during the next few years. If the voters do decide to approve kindergartens as an addition to the Eugene school program, the board hopes that they will also plan on giving their ap proval to these other very neces sary school needs as they are pre ray, are with the train. Most of them represent wire services and syndicates. They rarely leave the press car, which is a club car, but with typewriters. Their stories Sat urday, for instance, indicated Eu gene was just a routine stop, be cause none of the newsmen left the car to watch the crowd. MANY STAFF MEMBERS Nixon's staff outnumbers news men by several times. According to labels on compartment doors, there are even secretaries to the secretaries. There are secretaries in charge of the different news media, who take all the burden off Nixon. He came through the Lane Coun ty car and shook hands with each person, but he would answer no questions. All comments, his staff indicated, had to come through the proper secretary who was nowhere at hand. But on the train's rear platform, he makes his own releases. He is a vigorous speaker, obviously ex perienced. He uses many gestures, with the desired effect, and puts one of both hands into the pockets of his well- tailored suit coat, when he doesn't need them. REMINDER CARD He uses a now-you-see-it, now- you-don't reminder card during his talks. On the 2 by 4 inch card are off the cuff. But is isn't. It is memorized almost to the word. He varies it from town to town in little more than arrange ment of points. But is is apparently his own speech, from his own mind, and he changes it minutely be tween stops to meet the situation. He ate lunch between Eugene and Albany and had no time to himself or to talk with his staff. BETTER REBUTTAL Yet in Albany his rebuttal of the money charge was much more ef fective. A few small changes in wording and emphasis did it. News men say it has improved with each stop. He makes no bones about his lack of knowledge of the area. He admitted in Albany that he didn't know which congressional district he was in. He admitted there that he didn't know what time it was: " . . this morning, or is it this at; ' ternoon? And he can sway a crowd by a string of accusations against the present administration. He can get crowd participation by asking a series of questions, waiting for the always unanimous answer to each. In Albany he was visibly tired, he muffed words. He hesitated. His voice cracked. He was becoming hoarse. But the speech was still forceful. Old campaigners recalled that Wilkie's voice was similar and that it gave nut toward the end of that campaign. Would Nixon last, they wondered. And they wondered how success fully he can counter the Democrats' jests about his $16,000 gift which incidentally was raised to $18,235 by Nixon himself Saturday.
