NEW YORK, Sept. 23.-Rumors
raced through New York City S
police and political ranks today,
spurred by a sensational investiga-
ton of police -bookmaker graft
which has yet to reach its climax
Most widespread of the reports
was that Police Commissioner Will

custer has been demanded in the
wake of evidence that a huge gam
bling ring was feeding a million
dollars year in protection money
to city police.
Another report was that boss
bookmaker Harry Gross once more
had changed his mind and was
ready to reveal the names of po-
licemen to which his $40 million
bookie syndicate had dished out
graft.

Pentagon officials said yester-
day that they probably would be
able to estimate the length OF
fighting in Korea below the 38th
parallel after developments dur
ing the next week or 10 days.
While the great imponderable
was the question of whether
Chinese Communists will enter
the picture, officials also saw these
other problems:
/. The possibility that the Kor-
can Reds might yet turn up over
night with airpower. The North
Koreans have not had any air
support since the first stages of
the campaign and the Air Force
again said yesterday that no evil
dence of any Red air buildup
had been noted. AS far as known
here the Korean Reds have no
aircraft of their own at present
2. The extent of fighting which
desperate reinforced Reds might
be counted on to wage around
Seoul caused some worry. Troops
have been pulled out of the
southern front in the American
First Cavalry Division sector and
in the area held by the South
Koreans along the northern por-
ton of the Pusan beachhead.
Reds Move During Night.
A ranking general explained
that it would take several days
or perhaps week to see how
much of the Communist army
which has been operating in the
south could be kept intact and
transferred to the defense OF
Seoul. Because swarms of Allied
planes roam the air by day, the
Reds are compelled to move
mainly under cover of night OF
whenever bad weather provides a
screen.
3. The 38th parallel. 1t was
believed at the Pentagon that De-
fense Secretary Marshall. now ir

listers, already is discussing this
vital question with Secretary o1
State AcheSon and with others
at Lake Success to get an early
United Nations decision on it
President Truman has said thai
the decision was up to the United
Nations. If the United Nations
forces succeed in their effort te
kill or capture all the Reds al
Seoul or south of that city the
Importance of the problem will
be reduced.
Army Still Plans Long Campaign
Although there was accumulat-
ing evidence of victory. the Army
went ahead methodically with
plans to fight for months if nee
essary. Winter clothing, equip
ment for winterizing transport
equipment and weapons and other
moves were made in this direc-
ton by the Quartermaster Corps
There was some talk that when
organized fighting is concluded
the Communists might resort tC
guerrilla warfare. Opposition tc
that type of warfare would have
to be left to the South Koreans
since other United Nations forces
have difficulty even now in dis
tinguiShing between friend and
foe in Korea.
