He haa denied any knowledge of Uie Stockton crime, and has of fered an alibi which la being checked. Deputy Sheriff Dal Reed, on In formation supplied by a Southern Pacific apeclal agent here, ques tioned Wright about the old slay ing, and relayed bis answer to Stockton authorities. Harry L.

ROK Troops Recapture Little Nori By GEORGE McARTHUR SEOUL Wl Tough lltUe South Korean troops today stormed to the top of Little Nori Hill lost more than two davs ago, drove off Red remnants, then stuck there stub bornly under steady pounding from Communist guns and infantry as saults. . Other Republic of Korea soldiers attacked Reds on Big Norl, some 300 yards to the north. The Roks battled to within 15 yards of Big Nori's crest, were pinned down more than two hours by heavy artillery and mortar fire and then were forced to withdraw. REPORTED AP Correspondent Milo Fametl reported a few South Korean In fantrymen dashed gallantly through Uie curtain of Chinese fire and died atop Big Nori after hurl ing hand grenades Into Communist positions. Although failing to take the larger peak, the South Koreans on Big Norl absorbed so much of the Communist fire that their com rades were able to dig In deeper on Little Nori. Those troopa re ceived only harassing fire after burling back a Chinese company some 175 men shortly before noon. Fameti reported that front line officers estimated the Chinese lost about 800 men, boosting to nearly 2,000 those killed, wounded and captured since the fighting erupted in that sector. Both Western Front hills, gate posts on the traditional northern invasion route to this old capital, were grabbed by Communists in swift attacks early Thursday. They are on Uie Imjln River about 40 miles north, of Seoul. SMASH The eive up. steep, frozen Little Nori was the 10th countersmasb by the ROKs. It turned out to be Uie sixth time the Peak has changed hands since the Chinese picked. It as Uie scene for their latest small-scale . offensive. The Nort fighting, reminiscent of the hot battles on Sniper Ridge uu a riaugje Aiu m tenirsi Korea a month ago, has cost the Reds an estimated 1,100 dead, wounded and captured. The estimate did not include Red lasses todsy, or the toll taken by artillery and planes pounding the Communist staging areas immedi ately behind the two Noris. The weary ROKs reached the crest of little Norl about 10 a. m. today.
