ported Aiding No. Kor-
eanst 10 Battle Furiously
(By the Associated Press


Korean Communists, shielded by
tanks, all but stopped the United
Nations drive toward the Man
churian border in northwest Korea
today. The Red forces repeatedly
bolstered by Chinese Communists,
were fighting stubbornly and fur
iously.
On the northeast coast, however,
South Korean troops entered the
port of Songjin, rs miles southeast
of the border.
Allied intelligence sources could
neither confirm nor deny the pre-
sence of Chinese troops in Korea.
They expressed the belief the
"Chinese" might be Manchurian-
born Koreans. trained in Chinese
armies. A captured Chinese soldier
said an attack unit of the Chinese
Red army entered North Korea ID
days ago with orders to battle the
South Koreans.
Situation Not Alarming
A spokesman at Gen. MacArthur's
headquarters said the situation in
the northwest was not considered
alarming.
The Korean Reds. however,
showed rebirth of fighting fury
in scattered sectors south of the
Manchurian border. Near liberated
Wonson, 1000 by-passed Korean
Communists battled United States
Marines, ambushing and cutting up
one company.
The Reds organized heavy oppo-
sition in the northwest and moved
up reinforcements IL miles south
of the frontier town of Kanggye.
United Nations forces found the
oaing hard on 35-mile front ex-
tending from Kasan to Onjong, at
points As to SIS miles south of the
border.
Supply Line Cut

Thursday had to pull back when
the Reds cut their supply line. The
British 9th brigade was forced to
halt near Kasan when it came under
Red tank fire.
Fifth Air Force fighter bombers
and bazooka teams knocked out 10
Communist tanks and two self
propelled guns, us. First Army
Corps spokesman reported.
The South Korean First Division
made gains of three miles north and
west of Unsan but Red resistance
continued bitter. The stiffest fight
ing broke out 10 miles northeast of
Unsan at Onjong.
The Far East Air Force. which
earlier in the week had reported a
dearth of targets, was busy in the
bitter fighting in the northwest,
strafing and rocketing dug-in Red
positions.

TWO TIES CONFUSE
HOUSE COUNT IN
CANVASS FIGURES

In the general election Of a
couple of weeks ago. apparently
anything could happen.
But who could guess that out of
the eight top candidates elected to
the House of Representatives from
the First Division, the official count
would produce two tie votes.
The official figures, released by
the Canvassing Board give tie votes
to Waino Hendrickson and Frank
johnson and to j. Simpson Mac
Kinnon and Verne Metcalfe.
The best to be done under cir
cumstances, is to list the new men,
bers of the House from this division
alphabetically. Here they are, with
their official vote; and the reader
can decide who is third or fourth
and who is sixth or seventh:
Doris Barnes, 4l07; Ed Locken,
$780, Hendrickson and Johnson,
both 3277; Andrew Hope, 3l86; Mac
Kinnon and Metcalfe, both 3089 and
Amelia Gundersen, 3085.
The Senate vote remains UNI
changed, with James Nolan receiv-
ing Alb votes and Elton Engstrom
1916. Frank Peratrovich, defeated
candidate, follows with $500. a
Highest vote cast in the First
Division was for Henry Roden,
Democrat, unopposed candidate for
treasurer, who received $40 votes.
The First Divisions total vote
cast was 1922.

FINANCE DRIVE

Twenty-Five of the 81 men work.
ing on the Boy Scout finance cam
paign turned in total Of $1701.25
at the first report meeting Friday
evening, according to campaign
chairman Allen Shattuck. With
fewer than half of the team men,
bers reporting. the total for the first
report was very good. Shattuck said.
He requested that all workers make
their subsequent reports to the Boy
Scout office in the Goldstein Build
ing or to their team captains.
Cort Wingerson's team eight was
highest in the initial report, ac-
counting for a total of $4,000; team
four, captained by Jack Burford, was
next with preliminary total of
$l5150. Both Wingerson and Bur-
ford were tied for individual high
totals of $50 of their teams reports.
Five of the eight members of the
executive committee turned in a
total OF $808.50. with Shattuck re-
porting $2l3.50. and George Parks
second high with $212.
Workers are trying to reach all
employees of business and govern
ment offices in their campaign this
year, Shattuck said. with the feel
ing that the support Of the Boy
Scout program in Alaska is as much
the concern of individual members
of the community as it is of mer-
chants and professional people.
Shattuck urged that individuals
contact one of the volunteer solicit
tors or mail their contribution to
the Boy Scouts, postoffice Box 2508,
if they are missed at their place of
business. The campaign will con-
tinue through next week. with team
members asked to make their con-

FILIPINO GOVT.
MUST REFORM TO
GET AID FROM u. )

WASHINGTON, Oct. 28-lR-The
United States proposed today a
$3.50, 100000 five-year economic aid
program for the Philippines provid-
ed the island republic makes sweep
ing reforms in its government.
The proposal was sent by Presi-
dent Truman to Philippine Presi-
dent Elpidio Quirino in Manila. De-
tails of the plan for dealing with an
economic crisis were laid down in
the long-secret report if a special
survey mission headed by Daniel
w. Bell a former undersecretary OF
the treasury. 1t was made public
today both here and in Manila.
On the basis of its two-month
on-the-spot survey last summer,
Bells mission said bluntly that
the Philippine government had
failed to deal effectively with its
postwar problems.
s'Inefficiency and even corruption
in the government service are wide
spread" the mission reported.
In submitting the $500 word re-
port, Mr.. Truman told Quirino that
there must be an understanding
on reform measures to be under
taken by his government before the
recommendations are submitted to
Congress.
The mission outlined a detailed
seven-point program based largely
on Filipino self-help. 1t provided
for tight U. S. supervision over the
spending of the proposed 0,00O,-
600 in loans and grants.

It's YES, IT'S NO.;
PARTY PLANNERS
TALK OVER PRIZES

Among problems posed to party
planners, add those of the Civil Air
Patrol committee for the big Halo
we'en party Tuesday night in the
National Guard Armory.
1t was easy enough to decide
some things-the hours from Z to
$50 pm; every youngster along
Gastineau Channel invited, with or
without parents; three merry-go-
rounds running. thanks to the en-
thusiastic cooperation of city auth
critics; free treats and noisemakers
as the children arrive -.
Then came the problem of prizes.
"Of course. We'll give prizes for the
best costumes" said one experienced
committee member.
Its always so unfair" COM
mented another.
1.-THE people who can afford elab-
crate costumes go out and buy
them, then win the prizes. Some
youngster who has worked hard and
made costume that represents a
lot more in thought and time and
effort just hasn't chance. Let's put
the prize money into the favors."
1t stood that way at the last
meeting, although such discussions
are not really over.
Discussions in other committees
are about how many hot dogs can
be kept sizzling. finding a cashier
who isn't all thumbs, lining up movie
projectors and things like that.
Miss Jacque Fisher, chairman,
has made committee appointments,
and hopes that all present or past
CAP members will offer their assist
ance, if not given specific assign
ment. Seems something happened
to a directory-as sometimes does
in hurry-up planning-so she can
not be sure all members are in
cluded)
Cadet Corps Commander Neil
Friedman is chairman OF arrange
ments for the three merry-go-
rounds. which are bound to be the
chief attraction.
These Civil Air Patrol members
we're named to assist the three ex-
perienced operators, sell tickets and
handle the crowds: Squadron Com
mander Allan G. Marcum, Catherine
Flood, Milton Furness, Jr.. and Don
Sayre.
With the exception of Jack Rich
ardson. those selling and serving
hot dogs, pop and coffee will be
Cadet Corps teen-agers. These IN
clude Elaine Molvar, chairman;
Shirley Casperson, Joan Kassner
and other cadets.
E. A. Hinke will be in charge OF
games, selecting his own commit
tee. Bob Roberts will help with both
games and merry-go-round as
needed.
First aid preparedness is an i'm
portant part of Civil Air Patrol
work. Should anyone need such
assistance, even because OF fainting
from the excitement, Medical OFFICER
Butch Suhrbier will be on hand,
assisted by Miss Frances Paul, VINO
also will pinch-hit at the merry
go-rounds if needed.

Suit substantiates Pearson Story
On Tuesday, September rs,
Drew Pearson began a series OF
columns about the sleight-of-hand
operations on the part of Cong
ressrnan Walter Brehm, Ohio Re-
publican, who for three years
carried elderly Mrs. Clara Soil

payroll, and required her to kick
back approximately half her sal

Subsequent Pearson columns on
October 2 and October piled
up more evidence on the Ohio
Congressman's kickback operation.
Despite Congressman Brehms
vigorous denials of the Pearson
charges, the accuracy of the lat

Tuesday, October "a, when Mrs.
