Sherman tanks recaptured heights east of Chinju today in a bloody counterblow at the North Korean spearhead thrusting dangerously close to the south coast base of PuSan.
 But the U. s. First Cavalry gave up burning Kumchon at the north west corner of shrinking Allied perimeter and other American and South Koreans abandoned four other anchor towns on the northern front.
 Gen. Douglas Macarthur re- ported that the enemy had launch ed his 'last desperate all-out ef- fort" to drive the Americans out of Korea as the U. S. First Marine Division began disembarking at a port a little over 40 miles from the Chinju battlefield.
 Sherman tanks; dug in, met Soviet-made tanks in the battle northeast of Chinju. For a time the American counterattackers were threatened with encircle- ment when the Reds surged around their Hanks. There were many American casualties and some tank losses.
 But the, 24th Division troops, veterans of the first fighting in Korea, regained heights at Sang nun, 10 miles east of Chinju, and reached positions at Wonbung, five miles southwest, of Chungam, 2, front line dispatch reported.
 This was ground lost Tuesday when the communist thrust 15 east of Chinju toward Pusan.
 The Red radio at Peiping said Chinese communists had offered military and naval aid to North Korea but the offer had been re jected as not needed now. This ap- peared to be a propaganda ges- ture to counter Gen. MacArthur's refusal of Chinese Nationalist troops from threatened Formosa.
 The U. S. government is con- sidering reversing it's past policy of refusing military aid to Gener- alissimo Chiang Kai-Shek.
 Washington identified the four National Guard Divisions that have been called into national service. They are the 28th from Pennsylvania, the 10th from Cal ifornia, the 43rd from Connecti- cut, Vermont and Rhode Island, and the 45th from Oklahoma, as well as the 196th combat team from South Dakota and the 278th from Tennessee.
 The Marines, bringing flame throwers, bigger tank killing ba- zookas and M/26 tanks of 45 tons, heavier than any yet used in Ko- req, were met by a brass band, playing "F.rOm the Halls of MOn- tezuma."

 A New Zealand offer to supply 5000 ground troops for Korea was being discussed in Washing ton with New Zealand air commo- dore J. I. Findlay.
 Gen. Douglas MacArthur's com munique said American with drawals on the north and central fronts were not forced" but were for the purpose of putting the troops in better positions.
 The First Cavalry Division said it destroyed Is enemy tanks.
 [
 The fighting men of the U. s. First U. s. Marine Division, arm ed with new, 3.5-inch tank killer bazookas, flame throwers and heavier equipment not yet used in Korea, were still on the way. They have been enroute from the U. s. Pacific coast for two weeks.
 An American intelligence of- ficer said it was believed the en- emy has now committed all his available divisions to the battle line or is moving them into it.
 "He is exerting his last ounce of strength in an attempt to smash through and drive our forces into the sea-" the officer said.
 A Macarthur spokesman who previously had estimated Red cas- ualties at 37,500 said the losses "are probobly greater than we re- alize" but would not prevent the enemy from continuing to attack.
 These losses, together with American achievements, mean that American commanders can now afford to sell ground little more cheaply." he added.
 
 The United Nations navy of 9merica, British, Canadian, New Zealand, Australian, South Kore- an, Dutch and French warships patrolled the coasts hunting enc my supply ships and barges.
 About so BPS bombers dropped 400 tons of explosives on the big chemical and explosives plant at Hungnam in North Korea, leaving it mass of flames and smoke that billowed to a height of 15,000 feet.
 The plant which turned out ex- plosives for the Japanese in the Second World War, was, reported 85 percent effectively damaged by the strategic bombers on their first visit two days ago.

zled veterans of the outfit declar- ed themselves feeling fine and hot to go."
 The fall of Kumchon, about 90 miles to the northwest of the port of debarkation, had been forecast when dispatches reported the rail and highway town was under ar tillery fire, and that First Cavalry troops were holding an arc-shap- ed front around it.
 Along the twisting northern front 18th Division and South Ko- rean troops gave up Hamchang, Sangju, Yechon, and Andong and withdrew behind the Naktong River on part of the front. The North Koreans long had been stalemated on this. front.
 But on the east coast, South Ko- reans moved back into Yongdok,. 25 miles north of Pohang. \
 Indications in Washington were that the air war in Korea would soon be stepped up in scope and intensity with the sending of fresh B-29 bombers to Japan.
 The air force flew a record 500 day and night sorties in an effort to check the enemy's most dan- gerous thrusts. Fighter planes left Chinju and nearby Sochan in flames after five-hour attack.
 Concerted air and naval bonn bardments were levelled at the small South Korean ports of Mok- DO and Yosu where the Reds were attempting to unload supplies from small boats.
 American destroyers supported the air strikes at Yosu, British de- stroyers aimed at Mokpo and South Korean patrol boats moved in later with follow-up attacks.
 The Americans east of Chinju were fighting to keep from being driven onto flat country with no natural barriers.
 Authoritative sources in Paris, reporting on recent Atlantic Pact meetings in London, said it has been brought home to Europeans in a forceful manner that Ameri- can leaders have no hope of de- lending Western Europe if Rus sian attack should take place inn mediately.
 In "X" months-the number is a secret - Britain and France could be strengthened sufficiently to make a successful stand, how ever, these sources reported.
 Belgians went back to work af- ter week-long strikes and disor- ders that approached revolution q ary scope.

American Education
Week November 5 IL

American Education Week, to be
observed in all schools November
5 to IL, was stressed with renewed
emphasis in a release from the
Board Of Education this week. The
Board encourages "all community
persons" to visit the local school
during the week, since it feels that
the greatest service to children can
come about through frst-hand
knowledge from seeing them at
work. A countrywide understand
ing of school conditions may be
achieved by groups of citizens
visiting schools in all parts of the
county.
Faculties and pupils in the
schools will welcome visitors and
the opportunity to acquaint them
with the school program.

Valentine c. Wilson, Chairman
of the Red Cross Disaster Relief
Committee for Montgomery Coun-

Association Friday, October 81, on
the functions and problems of his

tremendous needs of Civil Defense
through First Aid training, blood

trucks, Ham" radio equipment
and operators, and other facilities
needed in the event of any major
disaster.

1t was decided that wide public
discussion should precede the fix
ing of rate of pay for the Mayor
and Councilmen. The proposal
would empower the Council to
make future changes in rates of
pay, subject to referendum, if
desired by the citizens.
The Association endorsed un-
animously the second proposal that
no Town officers or employees be
permitted to benefit financially
from conduct of Town business.
The recommendation to adopt this
provision in the same form which
is in effect in the County was
amended to add specific penalties
for violations.
The political activities proposal.
which was also recommended to the
group to parallel the County Char
ter, was liberalized to permit Town
employees to engage in other than
local political activities provided
that no Town records or facilities
or working time are used in such
activities.
Provision for filling vacancies in
the offices of Mayor and Council
was found to be completely omit
ted from the present Town Charter.
The Association endorsed a propo-
sal that remaining Council men,
bers appoint qualified replace
ments to fill unexpired terms.
The legislative proposals were
referred to the Community Fedora
ton so that other Town organiza-
tons may take action in time for
the information of the Legislative
Delegation to Annapolis before the
January session of the Assembly.

versity of Maryland report on the

Charter Claims
Warfeld Not An
Active Director

A release from the Charter
Committee yesterday stated:
"H. Deets Warfield, of Damas-
Gus, Maryland, calls himself d.
rector of the Charter Committee
in Montgomery County, but he is
in name only.
'In truth, Mr.. Warfeld hasn't
been really active in the full sense
of the word in the Charter move
ment for five years. He hasn't
been to Board Directors meet
ing for two years.
Saturday, before a group of
Democrats, he bitterly charged the
present Charter Council with ex-
travagance. He said he would
scuttle the endorsed
candidates and vote a straight
Democratic ticket, Especially
for our own Jerry Williams"
"And therein lies the key to Mr..
Warfield's strange about-face. 1t
seems from largely personal rea-
sons.
Last July, when the Charter
Committee was considering who it
would support in the September
Democratic primary, Mr.. Warfield
suggested a boyhood friend, Jerry
Williams. But the Committee
threw its support to Malcolm
White.
"Mr Warfield had been mad
ever since, and to save face with
Mr.. Williams, he has fiip-fopped.
This, combined with his general
lack of contact with recent County
affairs have led Mr.. Warfeld
away from the good government
group and onto the machine-spon-
sored bandwagon."

Emily Post

An autocratic reader expresses
this opinion: You say we must
not wipe silver on our napkin in
someone's house. You also say
we have to tolerate smoking even
in our own houses as nonsmokers
are in the minority. I take excep-
ton to both these pieces of ad-
vice because I think they account
for much of the American lack
of consideration for the other fel-
low.
If silver were not clean in the
house of a friend I'd wipe it of
just as in a lax restaurant. What
else could I do? Certainly I would
not use it. AS for smoking, I've
had so many lovely things ruined
that I've gone to the limit of post
ing Don't Smoke" signs in my
house the way department stores
do. If they have grounds why
haven't I, and everyone else who
is at the mercy of the thoughtless
smokers?"
In answer to this, even though
I myself am one who does not
smoke, and who certainly would
dislike dirty silver, I am sorry that
I cannot second your method of
solving these two unpleasant
Inesses. In the first place, it would
be unthinkably rude to let any
hostess see one of her guests wip-
ing off the silver. In the second
instance, much as I would, at
