 Strong Red attacks were hurled also at the US. Cavalry Division, which rolled into battle southeast of Unsan to relieve the hardpressed BOX Eighth Division.
 North Koreans, once more show ing fight and unified leadership, introduced cavalry to their moun- tain warfare.
 Two Red Chinese regiments were reported in action in the northeast. Mai. Gen. Edward M. Almond, com- mander of the US. 10th Corps said at least one Chinese regiment had pushed to within IS miles of the east coast industrial center of Ham, hung.
 Later, 10th Corps spokesman confirmed that a second Chinese regiment is in the area, about mid way between the US. Seventh Di- visions landing point of Iwon and Wonsan, 100 miles to the south where the US. Marines landed.

 However, if the tremendous swing which nominated Duff last May continues, he will be the new Senator in Washington next Janu- ary.
 This-if it happens-will mark something more than just a new Senator from Pennsylvania.

 When Duff was nominated to the Senate last spring he receiveo letters from all over the rtry stating Thank God for a chance in the Republican leadership. We are Democrats, but we would vote Republican, if the Republicans offered something new"

PRESIDENTS HOME RU5HEDBY TWO MEN IN ATTEMPT TO KILL HIM; ONE SHOT DOWN; THREE
 TRUMAN GUARDS WOUNDED

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1-tR,-Twd men with blazing German Luger pistols rushed President Truman's home today in an apparent attempt to assassinate the President.
 They were shot down in a furious gun battle outside. One was killed. Three members of the Presidents guard detail were wounded.
 MT. Truman was in the Presi- dential residence, the Blair House, when the sho0tings occurred about 2:15 pm., a few minutes before he was to leave for ceremony at Ar lington National Cemetery.
 Police Inspector Hobart Francis told reporters: "T presume it was an attempt to assassinate the Presi- dent"
 BATTLING GUNFIRE
 The rattling outburst of gunfire came without warning on a quiet, sunny afternoon in front of the yellow brick house which the Presi- dent and his family are occupying while the White House, across the street, is undergoing repairs.
 First eyewitness accounts said one of the gunmen charged across broad Pennsylvania Avenue toward Blair House and the other came from 2 corner west of the temporary execu- tive mansion. Both were shooting as Oloskin, seriously wounded through they ran.
 GUNMENS FIRE RETURNED
 White House guards immediately returned the gunmen's fire. One of the men was shot down on the canopied steps of Blair House. He fell with blood squirting from chest wound. The other likewise crumpIed under volIey of bullets.
 The scene immediately became one of wild confusion. Police cars rushed to the scene with sirens screaming. A crowd gathered. Sec ret Service men threw guard around the immediate area.
 President Truman peered out briefly at the hubub. He left the Blair House a half hour after the shooting, through the rear entrance and under heavy guard, for the Ar lingt0n Cemetery.
 ONE GUNMAN IDENTIFIED
 White House police said the gum men carried papers identifying them tentatively as Marion K. Preston, dead, and Oscar Olliskin, or o.

fl OF ANTITRUST
 CASES TRANSFERRED
 TO OTHER COURTS
Judge Dimond Grants Various Motions in
 Grand Jury Indictments

= Faced with the heaviest court docket on record in the Third Divi- sion, Federal Judge Anthony J. Di- mond has paved the way for trans fer of II antitrust cases to other courts throughout the Territory and to Seattle.
 The court granted motions to move both the civil and criminal cases against the Alaska Steamship Company elsewhere. At the same time it upheld the validity of 10 criminal indictments returned by last summers unprecedented grand jury investigation.
 Government attorneys said the steamship cases, along with that of the K & L and other intra-Alaska liquor distributors, will be tried in Seattle's northern division court of the western Washington district.
 Reason for Transfers
 Dimond granted the transfer in the interest of justice declaring "weighty considerations outweight in my opinion the consideration of public interest"
 The jurist pointel out that if the case were brought to trial here it would be 1900 miles from where the defendants live in Seattle, where company offices and records also are located.
 If there was conspiracy the principal acts must have taken place somewhere out of Alaska" Judge Dimond said.
 Government attorneys opposing transfer of the Alaska Steamship and K & L cases declared that If there was an unlawful conspiracy the people of Alaska are the only ones who are really interested"
 To which Dimond answered.:
 Taking into consideration all facts including the factor of public interest, am forced to the con- clusion that strongly favors the de- fendants' motion for transfer of the case to Seattle or outside Alaska"
 Transfer to Fairbanks
 Citing the heavy calendar. the court also called for and received mutual agreement between the gov- ernment's battery of five attorneys and several defense counsel for transfer of the Healy River Coal Corporation case to Fairbanks. The government had opposed the trans fer but came to agreement without a court ruling on the motion. Ac- tions against several Fairbanks liquor dealers were transferred to the interior city without opposition several weeks ago.
 Ketchikan Gets Cases
 Liquor and meat cases involving Ketchikan businessmen had also been transferred without opposition to the Southeast Alaska city.
 The latest action leaves four of II cases in Dimond's court. They involve price fixing charges against Anchorage taxicab. liquor and cleaning establishments and similar actions against certain Seward liquor dealers.
 Although upholding the validity of
  the 10 criminal indictments, Dimond instructed government attorneys to list the witnesses who appeared be- fore the Grand Jury in each case where an indictment was returned.
 The criminal indictments had been challenged by defense attorneys on grounds that the signatures Of witnesses did not appear on the in- dictments as proper endorsement.

 CopOssela said the wounded mans condition was fair" He said the man was being questioned by police but was refusing to answer most questions.
 REGULAR FUSILLADE
 Archie B. Davis, who saw the shooting, said g regular fusillade" of shots was fired-somewhere be- tween eight and 12 in a matter of seconds.
 Davis said one of the gunmen was hit as he ran away from the Blair House toward the west.
 The President was surrounded by Secret Service men holding sub machine guns when he left the executive residence after the shoot ing. His car was followed by sec ond automobile, filled with police. Other policemen on motorcycles led and flanked the Presidential car.
 NO WARNING
 The gun fire broke out suddenly and without warning.
 Traffic was proceeding normally along Pennsylvania Avenue. White House police were stand- | ing as, usual at the cenopied stair ways leading in the Blair and ad- | joining Lee houses. Other police were in guard houses to one side of the residences.
 Secret Service men said two men suddenly made a rush at Blair House with guns in their hands.
