tions of the American aggressors
are seriously menacing the Sc
curity of China"
We have become used to the
empty threats which the Commu-
nists have made in the past. But
in this particular instance the
broadcast seems to be more than
propaganda, for a number of Chi
nese prisoners have been captured
/ in North Korea since last Thurs
day. At the same time resistance
to the advancing United Nations
forces has considerably stiffened.
The smashing blows delivered
by the American, Korean and
other Allied units had weakened
the morale of the Korean Reds to
the point where they were sur
rendering in droves without any
attempt to resist. This accounts
for the $4,000 prisoners taken
since the Inchon landings and the
capture of Seoul. All of a sudden
resistance has unexpectedly in
creased.
Suffer Heavy Casualties.
The figures available to our in
telligence services show that the
Korean armies strength never ex-
ceeded 10000. They suffered
heavy casualties in their attempt
to shove us out of Korea during
the offensive stages of their cam
paign. If these casualties are
added to the number of prisoners
captured there can be no more
than 10000 Koreans in organized
units. In this number is included
two divisions of Chinese Red SOL
diers who are of Korean nation
ality.
The resistance which now is
being offered to the advancing
U. N. forces indicates that at least
five new divisions are in action.
They can be only Chinese Com
munists who have been rushed
across the borders with no other
fanfare than the significant Pei
ping broadcast of October 26.
This m.ly be only a gesture on
the part of the Mao TIE -tung gov
ernment, a desperate attempt to
save the big power plants and
other Soviet industrial establish
mentS on the Observation-Disclosures
border. But it is logical to believe
that II the Reds have decided to
commit a number of troops to the
Korean war they may be equally
determined to reinforce them and
to use the balance of the 20 known
divisions concentrated on and close
to the Yalu River border since
last July.
The most sensitive spot from the
military standpoint today is Asia,
not Europe.

Politicians Reluctant
Party Leaders Shy From Predictions
On How People Will Vote at Election

many States, labor, makes its
pitch entirely on personal grounds.
This is because it has many mem
bers in each party, the AFL hav-
ing been almost as strongly Re-
publican in past years as the CIO
is Democratic. Labor also wants
to avoid friction with regular
Democratic organizations. One
other factor: Some Of its leaders
are ambitious for a separate par
ty eventually and have no wish to
build up the Democratic Party.
All this reflects the facts of
congressional life which are that
on domestic issues a conservative
coalition rides high while the ad-
ministration fishes rs foreign pol
icy victories out of a mixed pool
Of internationalists.
Party leaders who are thus rele-
gated to an organizing and financ-
ing role are sensibly reluctant to
predict how people viii vote. They
would not even be too surprised by
discovery of q trend that all now
stoutly declare has not appeared.
One important Democrat believes
his party will win big or lose big;
the rest stick to tight races and
small gains either way.
Big City Machines in Trouble.
Even in the big cities the ma
chimes are in trouble. The New

their crowds pleasant and recep.
tive. A few incidents have been

Well, he's getting one thing.

There should be little doubt
about these two most recent Red

that the Red I'd Field Army had

The Reds need not fear any set
backs in Tibet for they will meet
no organized opposition.

organized as an important mill
tary and air base to persuade or
coerce the Indian government into
submission to Moscow. In spite of
repeated officially expressed doubts
about the Intervention of the
Chinese Communists in Korea,
there seems to be little doubt that
some forces have crossed the Yalu
River in an effort to save at least
part of North Korea for the Com
munistS.

but now they choose to see him
only as the staunch champion of
conservatism and the deliverer
from New Dealism and Fair Deal
ism.
! And, for the moment, Senator
Taft has transformed himself into
the sort of image they see. He
bespeaks their hostility to the new
liberalism in politics by his TRADES
against the CIO and its PAC, con-
juring up fears Of Communism by

ences still may be present In the
CIO-PAC. He points out that was
the case once. names names. and
then leaves the hearers with his
suspicious. It Is a campaign some
how out of character for the re-
spected Ohio Senator-but Bob
Taft is a very determined man,
and he is working as few ever
worked in a political campaign.
He has amazing energy and is
leaving hardly a precinct un-
visited.
Old Familiar Remedy.
There is an old familiar remedy
for business and financial inter-
ests in such a dilemma as that
which confronts them in Ohio.
This is to pay for what they want.
So contributions have poured into
the Taft campaign from all parts
Of the country. The very consider
able amount being spent on behalf
of the Senator is indicated all
around, in the obvious ways such
as those billboards In which the
face of the Senator rises up every
few miles to ask your vote as you
drive about the State, and in the
less obvious ways about which you
learn as you dig deeper-allot-
ments for this and that group for
organization, the salaries handed
out on every side for workers.
This is, indeed, perhaps the
most expensive campaign in Ohio's
history, unless old Mark Hanna
did better around the turn of the
century, and only United States
Senatorship at stake, and not the
Presidency, as in the case Of Mark
Hanna's big money campaign.
For labor is spending, too, and
plenty, though not in such sums
as the Taft forces, despite charges
of the latter. Labor, too. is con-
centrating in Ohio. seeing in Sem
ator Taft the embodiment Of all
those who would halt the New
IDeal-Fair Deal trend so favorable
to labor, and realizing finally that
they can organize, too, and can
contribute, too, toward getting
what they want in politics.
Curiously enough, insignificant
as their candidate is, he has served
their purposes somewhat better
than first anticipated, for he seems
to epitomize the little fellow" He
talks that way naturally and acts
the role without any DISCUSSES or
i; props. Furthermore, he has proved
a source of Illustration for Senator
Taft who can't get down to his
level, can't reach out and grab
anything and collar it and talk

Major candidates are to an un-
usual degree trying to attract all
comers who share the views they
are expressing. To that end they
take good care not to be offensive
about mere labels and many a
one gets through a long speech
without mentioning the party to
which he or his opponent be-
longs.
What candidates really prefer
instead Of the old-fashioned par
ty rallies are guest appearances at
gatherings which bring people to-

be responsible for some election

of all those who are bent on
dethroning "Taftism" for one rea-
son or another. with organized
labor leading the hue and cry.
The emphasis here is on Right
and Left, with all the distortions
that inspire both Republican
and Democratic camps, and little
of the moderation of the Middle.
This perhaps is typical generally
of the congressional elections as
a whole in the confused state
of mind in which our people seem
to find themselves, for Ohio is
typical. This may explain the
uncertainty over the outcome Of
the election here, as elsewhere,
which has made politicians and
forecasters so cautious.
You realize very soon that Ohio
Just happens to be the locale Of
a contest involving Senator Taft,
and that it is, in effect, a ma
tional contest and represents the
basic conflict nationally.
New Political Impulses.
Here in Senator Taft conserva-
tives and conservative interests
outside the State see the embodi-
ment of their antagonism to Roose-
velt New Dealism and Truman Fair
Dealism. In Ohio they see, too,
the new political and economic
impulses of the plain people that
were liberated by those two ma
tional regimes to curb the pre-
dominant power that conserva-
tive interests once exercised in
politics. They see how organized
labor now has reused these i'm
pulses against Senator Taft.
The Senator is their champion
against this new dispensation. In
all of the manifestations of the
almost frantic devotion to the
Taft crusade, there is a sort of
"last-stand" frenzy. It is, too,
. as if Bob Taft were running for
President, instead of Senator, and
against the often called-up ghost
! of Franklin D. Roosevelt and the
very live devil they see in Harry
S. Truman. This race is thai
= important to conservative politi.
cal and economic interests.
Forgotten, for their immediate
purposes, are Senator Taft's com
promises with moderation in Con.
gress in such measures as housing
higher minimum wages, Fedora
aid to education, which many o1
them didn't like. Forgotten, like
Z wise, is his record on foreign pol
