Vanden berg yesterday afternoon ruled against a motion which would, If the ruling hud gone the other way, have set aside 3i criminal Indict ments found by the county grand Jury Oct. 13. Deliberation and arguments on motions to set aside and quash half a dozen of the Indictments took most of the court day yester day. The question was whether state law governing grand Jury procedure had been violated by District Attomi-y Frank Alderson. Although the technical attack had been made on only six of the Indictments found during the moat recent grand Jury session, Judge Vandenberg stipulated hla ruling would spply to all. At the close of the grand Jury session Oct. 13, the indictment pa per were brought Into the court room by Alderson and handed by him to Judge Vandenberg when Foreman Roy Call announced that the grand Jury, was ready to make Its report. Slate law specifies thst the pres entation must be made by the Jury foreman. MOTION'S Attorneys Ben Goddsrd, V. 8.

WI Britain Thursday rejected Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Y Vtshin aky'a plan for new United Na tions commission to bring peace to Korea and unify that country. Strongly supporting the unified command's refusal to send home Red prisoners of war by force, British Minister of State Selwyn Llovd told the U. N.'a 60-natlon political committee that unless the Red agreed to tnis, any new com mission would be useless. If they did agree, he said In Britain's first major policy state ment on Korea since the general assembly opened, a new commis sion would be unnecessary. Lloyd s speech was also the nrst public western expression of views on Vlshlnsky's proposal made Wednesday night.

The Chinese attacking Triangle hill struck with three battalions, but two of the battalions withdrew after an hour of savage fighting, possibly to regroup, a front dis patch said. The third battalion still was attacking early Friday. On adjacent Sniper Ridge, 2,000 Chlneses Reds had burst from a deep, uphill tunnel and seized the crest known as Pinpoint Hill. But Allied forces rallied and re captured it with clubbed rifles snd cold steel. THOUSANDS Thousands of rounds of artillery fire from both sides churned the rocky summit into sand during the savage fighting and was continuing without letup. An Eighth Army staff officer said it probably would rate as the most intense shelling of the war. The Allied troops were dug- In 50 yards down the slope from the summit of Pinpoint, taking cover from the hall of shells which blist ered the crest. deadly: shelling They drove the Chinese off that highest peak of Sniper Ridge at mid-afternoon under Red artillery and mortar shelling described by the officer as "very deadly." Then they spilt into three assault forces and tried to smash the Chi nese all the way back to the Yoke, a maze of caves and tunnels guard ing the northern end of 1 !i-mie-long Sniper Ridge. But intense Communist shelling and small arms fire turned back the assault forces. The Eighth Army said Its troops had Inflicted 5,789 casualties on the Reds m tne weeg ended luesday. bringing the total for the first four weeks of October to 32.885. That made October the heaviest month of the year and the biggest since last November. Earlier today, the Chinese Burst out of a long tunnel which opened near .the summit of Pinpoint and forced the Allied defenders off the peak. STRUCK They struck without warntne tn their first major daylight assault of the furious, seesaw battle. The shell-proof tunnel protected the Reds Irom Allied artillery snarp- ahooters. Burrowing like ants, the Chinese started their turmel under an over hanging cliff and dug It almost to tne summit. They swarmed out of the mouth, neeaiess or meir own sneiurre. AP correspondent John Randolph, the only U. S. newsman near the ridge, said: "The new Chines davttme oower ooaed?

Dfluirlna Mm Kuy of Oregon said Wedneadav night that Sen, Wayne L. Morse) nt Oregon is aiming to form a "new and independent splinter party." The governor Predicted in a speech broadcast over a atate radio network that the "unspeakable" Sen, Langer (R-ND) would Join Morse In forming the party. He denounced Morse for bolting the Republican ticket to sunnnrt the Democratic nominee for PresU dent, Gov, Adlai Stevenson of Ill inois. "Both Democrats and" Republl. cans will be glad they have gone, to roost In the dark forests of ob livion." he said In predicting Morse and Langer would form an Inde pendent party. He called Mors a "nrnveri nnlL tlcal clown," and said: "Morse has taken off his mask of Republicanism and Joined hla true political comrades, Harry and Adlai, and the rest of the New Deal crowd. I doubt If they will like bins any better than the Republicans do." The governor also said he be lieved that Morse bolted because he was not nominated for vice president and because he was not assigned to any Republican con vention committee. He quoted Moras as Saying ear lier that he would support Repub lican candidates. Including Ben. Robert A Taft of Ohio, even If Morse did not agree with them. McKay said be had no intention of debating the matter with Morse. TWO FACES "What I dtodoso ta do fc in let- Sen. Morse debate with himself, . . Let each of his two faces fight It out," he said. The governor also defended XI senhower's support ol J1 Repub lican candidates. Morse In awltch ing from Eisenhower was critical of the general's aunnora of soma Republicans. McKay said there was no com promise of principle on Elsen hower's part. "He (Eisenhower) did Dot attain his record by publicly denouncing every leader who differed with him. He did not try to knock heads together and grab headlines by dramatic and bitter speeches. In stead he worked quietly to com pose differences, to bring diver gent views together,' he aaid. McKay, like Morse, was one of the first Elsenhower supporters. declaring for the general long be fore hla nomination. The speech was ma iirst comment on Mors since the senator bolted.
