' ago.
Frontline details of the Chinese

. Allied fighter-bombers and
' tanks plastered the enemy's ap
proach route in an attempt to cut
off further Chinese reinforce
ments.
So far, the Chinese Reds have
lost an -estimated 10,000 men
2,000 of them in the last 12 hours
in their five-day fight for the
strategic height.
. Other United Nations troops re
captured Big Norl Mountain far
, ther east after a two-week fight,
and beat off heavy Red attacks on
Dick, Tessie and Christmas Hills
on the Western Front.
In the air, American Sabrejets
shot down six Communist MIG-15
jet fighters in three battles just
south of North Korea's Yalu Riv
er border with Red China.
It was the biggest air victor
of the month for the U.N. and
raised the October bag to 14 MIGs
destroyed and 20 damaged.
ROKS of the 9th Division had
won complete control of sprawl
ing White Horse except for two
small groups of Reds huddled on
the peak's southwest and northr
. west slopes. They were being kill

ROKs took White HorseLjn
a daring, pre-dawri "sneak" at

enemy shells to wait for an ex

The lightning raid, led by tanks
moving ahead under cover of
, darkness, gave the ROKs com
mand of a linger-like nage tne
Reds had been using to funnel
reinforcements into the battle.
Tanks and U.N. fighter bomb

the fierce running battle. Masses
of Communists collected behind
the height and made a bitter but
unsuccessful attempt to hold off
the ROKs.

Wind-Up Punch
In Harlem Talk
NEW YORK, Oct. 11 UK Pres
ident Truman delivered the wind
up punch in his whistle-stop tour
Saturday with a charge to Negro
voters that Dwight D. Eisenhow
er and the Republican Party may
be planning to; take away some
civil rights won under Democrat
ic leadership. ;.. .,
In' a sDsech prepared lor deliv
ery In' the heart of Harlenv Mi"
Truman said that while Eisenhow
er was a general of the Army "he
told the Armed Services Commit
tee of the Senate that a certain
amount of segregation is neces
sary in the Army."
you and l know that this is
morally wrong," the President
said. "And what's more, it's even
militarily wrong. Our troops in
Korea are demonstrating, every
day, that Americans can stand
side by side, regardless of color
and fight better because of it."
Praises Record
Mr. Truman praised the civil
rights record of Gov. Adlal E.
Stevenson and said Elsenhower
and the Republicans could" not be
depended on to save what civil
rights now are on the books.
"When Elsenhower sits down to
lunch with a Dixiecrat governor,
"do you think they talk about civ
il rights?" the President asked.
Then he added:
"Maybe they talk about taking
them away."
"You can draw your own con
clusion when the Dixiecrat gover
nor announces, after the lunch,
he's. going to vote Republican this
year."
Gov. James F. Byrnes of South
Carolina recently had Eisenhow
er as his luncheon guest and lat
er announced he would vote for
the Republican candidate.
Strongest Plank
The President said that the
has the "strongest civil
Democratic platform this year
has the "strongest civil rights
plank ever adopted by a political
party in this country. : ,
And, he added, "Our candidates
have taken their stand firmly on
that platform."
Talk about voluntary compli
ance with fair employment prac
tice Is nonsense. Mr. Truman said.
He accused Eisenhower and the
Republicans with waging a "double-talk"
campaign on civil rights.

The Republican nominee, in a

Mormon pioneers in defying and
conquering the wilcterness. ,
"Assorted Nonsense"
Ho regretted that the "party in
power" had not s e e n fit to
abide" by a pledge to "wage a
campaign aimed to 'educate and
elevate' the American people." He
said he had "not replied in kind"
to "assorted nonsense" - of the
Democrats and "I do not intend
to do so."
Elsenhower received his long
est and loudest applause when he
told the Tabernacle audience:
"I do not intend to appeal to
nreiudlce. to fear, to self-interest.
To do that would be to lose more
than an election. When I left my
old way of life for this campaign,
I knew I was starting out with
what appeared to be certain han
dicaps. For one thing, I was not a
politician and I'm not one now."
Ho said he thought the Amcrh

too much machine politics, a total
change from the prevailing politi
cal practice of divide, exploit, tax,

Bruins a new lease on their football
life. . ......
Forced to Kick
The Lava Bears received the ball
on the opening kickoff but could
make but three scant yards ; in
three attempts, forcing Boardman
to punt out of dancer. Albany
thereupon started right in to shat
ter the Bruin defense with three
successive first downs which swift
ly carried the ball into Bend terri
tory. Then the Bend line stiffened,
and with the aid of a 15-yard clip
ping penally against the Bulldogs,
obtained the ball after Albany was
forced to kick.
Miles Boardman and Bill Robeck
picked, up about three yards be
tween them on two oft-tackle plavs.
Volney Sigmund next attempted a
pass intended, tor Mel uy, But
Claris Poppert, Bulldog halfback,
leaped high into the air for an In
terception and raced to Bend's 21
yard line before being brought to
earth by Boardman. Poppert then
made 6 yards through the line,
Gatlin picked up three more and

touchdown. The attempted place

Early in the second quarter the
Lava Bears Began to march, with
Kobeck doing a bit or fancy broken
field running to return an Albany
punt to the Bulldog s 47-yard line.
Boardman then skirted an end to
the Bulldog 36, and a moment later
took a handoff from Sigmund to
race down to the 14-yard line before
he was stopped. Then Sigmund,
on a quarterback sneak, placed the
ball on the 6-inch line. Too much
time for the huddle penalized the
Bruins five yards. Twice the Bruins
failed to dent the Bulldog line, and
then Sigmund with a short but
accurate pass to Bill Baer in the
end zone, evened up tne count, win
Gilmer's drop kick for conversion
was no good, and the first half
ended, 6 to 6.
Throughout the third and fourth
quarters the Bulldogs threatened
time after time, but when the going
got roughest, cither a Bull dog
fumble or a stiffened Bruin defense
kept the Bulldogs away from the
end zone.
In Ihe closing seconds of play,
Albany on a long pass from Ridin

and a moment later picked up
another 16 on a sluiue of liberty

' The Democratic candidate chose
Miami, one of the chief targets
of the Senate Crime Committee :
investigations, to touch on the hot
s u b j e c t of politico - criminal al-':
nances.
He observed in a speech pre
pared for delivery to a rally in
Bay Front Park , that Miami had
a touch of scandals resulting from
an "unsavory alliance between a
national criminal syndicate and
me semi-iegmmate operators who '
cluster around the fringes' of the -.,
entertainment; business."
', "But I was pleased to see that -
you have learned the practical
lesson taught me in my time as
governor ot Illinois- that cor-,
ruption will not wait for leisurely
attention," he said.

"It must be attacked-by those
in authority, and it-must be ruth---,

The s p o e c h in effect was an
answer to One made in the same
park early last month by Dwight t
D. Eisenhower, the Republican '
presidential candidate, In which
he denounced "corruption" as part
of the "mess in Washington" and
said Stevenson couldn't : clean It -.i.
up because he was the hand-picked
candidate of the administration '
(hat permitted the 'mess."
Stevenson said he would claim
that "our Democratic leaders are
and have been pretty good human
beings but I make no c 1 a i m
to infallibility on their behalf."
Strikes Buck :,
The Illinois governor also struck
back at Eisenhower's charge that
Ihe federal government would
make the people economic and
political slaves by centralization
of power In Washington.
Referring to several federal pro-
grams which have contributed to ;
the economic growth of Florida
agriculture, Stevenson said:
You all know what apparently -
the general doesn't know that
the basis of all these federal pro
grams has been cooperation, not
coercion."
In addition, he said, the Florida ;
tourist business has profited from
ihe general prosperity and "credit
for that happy condition can be
properly claimed by the n a r t y In '
power for the past 20 years."
