STRIKE CLOSES
 THREE PAPERS
 AT PITTSBURGH
CBy the Associated Pressl


 The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette failed to publish today after AFL mailers called strike on the city's three daily newspapers.
 The Post-Gazette is the city's only morning newspaper The strike also closed the city's two afternoon papers-the Sun-Telegraph and the Press. Only few copies were seen off the presses.
 Meanwhile, nearly 50,000 en- ployees of Westinghouse Electric Corporation were granted a 10 cent hourly pay boost and improved pen sion benefits. The company reached an agreement with the CIO Inter- national Union of Electric Workers IUE). Negotiations are continuing with three other unions in Westing- house which represent 50,000 work CTS.
 The pay boost is retroactive to last Sept. IS.
 In Pittsburgh the Mailers' Union Local No. p, a local unit of the International Typographical Union, struck after failure to reach a new contract agreement.
 The three newspapers, in a joint statement, said both the mailers and Local 211, AFL Teamsters (Drivers) threatened to strike and that the drivers said they would support the mailers if those workers struck first.
 Other labor developments:
 More than 4,0O0 AFL cigar work CTS at Tampa. Fla, will vote today on whether to strike for an across the board wage hike of about 2o cents an hour.
 A threatened strike of 6,OO0 AfL and CIO hotel workers at Phlla- delphia was averted last night.

POLIO CASES TOTAL 16 IN TERRIT0RY;
 1 LIGHT CASE HERE

One very light case or pollomye- litis from which. according to the attending physician. there will be no residual of paralysis. has been reported to the Juneau Health of- ficer.
 Michael Ricke, 4-year-old son of MT. and Mrs. Gerald c. Ricke (Jean VanderLeesD, was taken to St. Ann's hospital Saturday, after his illness had been diagnosed as a mild case of polio"
 This case and a new one reported from Fairbanks (that of 12-year- old girD brings the total of known cases in Alaska to 16. Dr. c. c. Carter, Juneau Health Officer, said today: This one case is very light one, and the child is not of school age. Even if there were a suspected epidemic, we do not consider it good business to close the schools.
 Besides being under the careful observation of good nurse, the children are kept more quiet than they might be at home. They aren't tearing around. using up their en- ergy, getting wet and cold. It is im- portant not to interrupt healthy, normal routine.
 This looks like just another of the sporadic cases here. As recall offhand. it is about the fourth case in IS or 16 years"
 Dr. Carter's opinion is shared by top officials of the Territorial Health Department and of experts making up the National Conference on Poliomyelitis.
 Among comments emanating from the Conference are: The closing of schools has not affected the course of outbreaks of poliomyelitis The highest incidence of this virus disease is in summer and early fall. In the United States, an an- nual incidence of 10 paralytic cases per 100000 population is ordinary, but there is wide variation in incl dence from year to year and region to region. Children from one year to 16 years of age are more sus- ceptible than adults"
 Because of the outbreak of polio in Fairbanks, Anchorage and Ket- chikan, an international memoran- dunn drawn up by the Conference was sent to all physicians by Dr. J. H. Stickler. Health Department epidemiologist.

increased Income Taxes Are Now In Effect

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2-R-The government is taking deeper bite out of all paychecks from now on.
 New Federal income tax with holding rates went into effect yes- terday. That means more than 25,- OOO.OOO American workers will find the withholding taxes taken out of their next paychecks about a fifth greater.
 The bigger take" from pay checks is needed to keep taxpayers on a pay-as-you-go basis under the tax boosts voted by Congress to provide money for the country's big defense build-up.
 Individual income taxes were raised by an estimated $2,7o0,0OO,0Oo a year. Taxes on corporations were also hiked,

 By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON = Last week it was revealed that COP Congress man Walter Brehm of Millersport, Ohio, had been taking salary kick backs from Mrs. Clara Soliday, 7O-year-old lady who worked in his office from 1945 to 1948.
 During that time Mrs. Soliday kept $2OO a month for herself and paid the balance of her govern ment salary-around $500 month back to the Congressman. This Is illegal.
 Now, additional and highly sig nificant facts have come to light which may make the Congressman violation of the law even more ser ious.
 The FBI, in Investigating MT. Brehm's kickback arrangement, talked to Ray Soliday, son of Mrs. Soliday, who sometimes carried the kickback money to the Congress- man. Because of the FBI investiga- ton, Congressman Brehm went to young Soliday and urged him to tell the FBI the same story he (Brehm had told the FBI-namely, that he had paid the kickback money to the Republican campaign commit tee in the. 11th Congressional Dis trict of Ohio.
 Brehm also wanted Soliday to agree that the money kicked back amounted to only l,200 during the three years his mother worked for

 BUCKS U.N.
 RESOLUTION

LAKE SUCCESS, Oct. 2 = R - Russia's Andrei Y. Vishinsky charged today the eight-nation LIN. resolution on Korea constituted "di- rect aggression" against the people of that country and was designed to cast a mantle of legality on Ameri- can intervention there.
 In a policy speech before the LIN. Assembly's Political Committee, the Soviet Foreign Minister promised to put in a resolution of his own to counter the measure under debate. He said the eight-nation proposal was designed to perpetuate the oc- cupation of all of Korea by foreign forces and added:
 When will they get out? Well, perhaps when the mountains are level with the sea-"
 US. Chief Delegate Warren R. Austin said in statement outside the committee that Vishinsky's ac- cusations were merely "repetitions of the big lie" He predicted Vishin- sky's charges would have no effect because "rotton wood cannot be carved nor walls of sand be plast- cred"
 The American-supported proposal which Vishinsky attacked calls for United Nations aid and supervision of the pacification, unification and rehabilitation of the whole of Ko- req. It also calls for new LIN. com- mission with broad powers to help reorganize the political and eco homie life of the war-torn country.

ADMIRAL SAYS RUSS MINES
 USED IN KOREA

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2-tR-Ad- miral Forrest Sherman said today U. s. Navy ships off Korea have found "a great many floating min es" of Russian type.
 Sherman, the chief of naval oper- ations, told the House Armed Ser vices Committee that an examina- tion of recovered mines indicated they had been recently laid and not long out of the storehouse."
 On last Wednesday, the U. 8 destroyer Brush hit floating mine and hole was torn in her bottom Nine men were killed, 10 injured and five are missing. The destroyer was able to make her way to a Japanese port.
 Sherman said the mines recov- cred were Mark 26" Russian mines. He described them as rather stan- dard type and containing enough explosives to damage small ships.
 He said they were Of the mooreu type, but the indications were they had been floated down rivers or perhaps laid by small craft.
 Sherman said that in addition to the Destroyer Brush there has been mine damage to a small vessel.
 He did not identify the ship but said there were some fatalities.
 Sherman was called before the committee primarily for quest ioning about the effect of price rises on the Navys construction program. Some Congress members have estimated soaring prices have, in effect, cost the Navy a submar- inc.

 RETREAT
Chinese Com m unists Threaten 10 Assist
 North Koreans
(By Associated Press)

The South Korean Third Division struck 30 miles beyond the 38th parallel into North Korea today. rolling swiftly along the enemy's east coast. Two regiments of the South Korean capital division also were across and were turning vest ward from Yangyang. seven miles north of the border and the first North Korean town to fall.
 Yangyang fell after juncture of Third and Capital Division troops there. A. U. S. liaison officer with the first corps said the Reds fled the town so hurriedly that they left blankets on their hunks and field radios turned on. He said the Capital Division was pushing on against very, very light resis- tance."
 Silent On Surrender
 The Reds, whose government at Pyongyang remained silent on Gen. MacArthur's ultimatum to surren- der at once or face invasion and total defeat, were reported plan ming a last ditch stand on the east coast at Wonsan, big town directly opposite Pyongyang, which is on the west coast. North Korean prisoners said they had been order ed to get to Wonsan, 70 miles north of parallel 38, where the Commtin- ists were organizing their battered forces.
 Millions of leaflets dropped by planes spread the word of the Uni- ted States commanders ultimatum in North Korea, but MacArthur's headquarters said nothing about the thrust into Red territory. An offic- ial announcement was expected soon, however, on this new phase of the war, which may become test of the Communist Worlds in- tentions.
 Possible Intervention from China
 The Premier of China, North Korea's big neighbor, said in a weekend radio broadcast that China would not "supinely tolerate seeing her neighbors being savagely invaded by the imperialists." But the Communists have called the war a South Korean invasion from the start.
 Dispatches in Moscow's press still reported battling in the Seoul area, and did not report any crossing of the parallel by southern forces.
 American Marines north of Seoul pushed ahead 10 miles and held positions as much as 18 miles from the liberated capital of South Kor- ca, driving on Uijongbu, main Red training center 30 miles north of Seoul They were taking time to wipe out enemy pockets, while AL lied forces mopped up behind them.
 Many Reds Captured
 To the south, U. s. Seventh Di- vision troops captured Ichon. 20 miles east of Suwon.
 Still farther south, Allied troops cleared away roadblocks near Poun, IS miles northeast of Taejon.
 Otherwise, the badly scattered Reds, who numbered at least 130,- 0OO in the south only a month ago, were apparently trying to filter
