Harry Pleased With Administrations; At- tacks Other Things

WASHINGTON, (P)-PreSldent Truman said today he is concern ed about the high cost of living and he is working on plans to meet it.
 He told news conference he will act as speedily as possible but is trying to avoid the mistakes of the last world war.
 The President said his admins tratiOr does not want the nation to go through the travail of the last price control period when it had to follow the road of trial and error.
 MT. Truman was asked about wages not going up and prices ris- ing fast. He said he agreed thaiS was so and he is working on a plan.
 Commenting on statement made yesterday by Gov. Chester Bowles of Connecticut, former OPA administrator, favoring se- lective price controls, the Presi- dent said that is being discussed but no decision has been reached.
 MT. Truman endorsed the attack by his special assistant, Averell Hartman, on Senator Taft R.-OD Tn a speech before the AFL con- vention in Houston, Tex, Harri- man accused Taft of furthering "the designs of the Kremlin" by his voting record on foreign pol icy.
 MT. Truman said the Taft rec ord speaks for itself.
 When a reporter asked whether he knew of many Democratic Sen ators whose records equalled or surpassed Taft's, the President re- piled "very few," and added:
 There are more Republicans who voted right than Democrats who voted wrong, so the country still has a bipartisan foreign pol icy.
 The President said he was very we'll pleased with the record of Congress now about to recess. He said it had given him not all but substantially what he asked for in the way of legislation, and had ac- complished the business it set out to do He said he had no plans to campaign for election of Demo- crats to the new Congress.

Korean Situation At A Glance ---
Friday. September p. 1850
CRY The Associated Pressl

U. ,. Marines ana tanks, hlt- ting from two directions, hammer ed toward the heart of Seoul to- day as a column of Red tanks moved down from Manchuria, foreshadowing a fateful battle for the ancient capital of South Korea.
 Red prisoners said they had been ordered to hold at all costs for the arrival of endorsements against marines driving from the northwest and south in veteran Associated Press war correspond ent Relman Morin said looked like one of the big pushes toward the end of World War II.
 U. S. 10th Corps intelligence of ficers said the northern Red tank column already may have crossed the 38th parallel, the line 30 miles from Seoul separating North and South Korea. It could be made up of North Koreans who were sea- soned in Red China's Manchurian armies-but if it were made up of non-Koreans, the developing bat tie could have world shaking sig nificance.
 Other Red Korean troops were converging on Seoul from a num- Der of directions, many from the southeast Battle Box, where AL lied troops were rolling up new advances.
 American planes attacking Red movements southward in North Korea reported running into unus- ually heavy anti-aircraft fire. Other airmen's reports indicated general movement northward from the southeast perimeter. Land-based Allied airmen in Ko- req flew TOP individual flights over war zones yesterday for a new on-day record. One strafing attack alone killed co Reds re-. treating from the southeast war box. B-29's hit enemy training camps near Pyongyang, the North Korean capital, and struck at other other targets, but reported relatively little traffic on the move in North Korea. Carrier based navy planes concentrated on the Seoul battle area.
 There was still some stiff re- sistance in the southeast battle zones, but many Reds were with drawing. U. S. First Cavalry Divi- sion troops and South Koreans were closing a pincers trap on the Red 18th Division north of Taegu, Allied hub in the south. Dozens of communist troops were surren- dering, among them 30-year-old divisional chief of staff.
 Elimination of the trapped Red 18th Division would clear the way for an Allied advance on the route to Kumchon and Taejon. This is on the way to Seoul, the shortest route to a inkup with the Amer jeans in the north.
 To the south, U. $. End Division troops drove ahead to expand three bridgeheads across the Nak- tong River and battered remain ing communist forces on the east bank. On the extreme southern front, U. S. 25th Division troops threw back communists seven miles northof Haman, but against stiff resistance. On the east coast, South Korean troops advanced up to a mile and a half from the port

BY 10 TO s SCORE

The power laden Town Criers
raped out a 10 to victory over
an all star team picked from the
Juneau softball league last night
At the Evergreen Bowl. No home
runs were registered.
Jim Vuille of the Town Criers
and Richard Allen of the All Stars
cracked long triples. Vuilles' hit
landed on the concrete of the ten
mis- court, but due to the excess
weight in various portions he was
pushed to drag everything into
third base. Aliens hit was hard
drive over the Town Criers center
fielders head for well deserved
three base knock. Aliens hitting
and fielding last night has proven
without doubt that he is the
most promising high school player
to hit the Juneau softball league
to date.

we're Tom Powers, catcher and John
Scott, pitcher. For the All Stars,
Carl Mueller catcher, and Sgt. ia
COILS and Lowell Trump, pitchers.

SAN DIEGO in
LATE SEASON
POWER SURGE
BY JIM HUBBART
ASSOCIATED Press Sportswriter)

If the San Diego Padres are
assaying a comeback, then they
probably started too late to do them
selves much good in the Pacific
Coast League pennant race. But the
Padres today are in position to
administer a double dose of embar-
rassment to the opposition.
The scourge of the circuit before
mid-season rigOr mortis set in, San
Diego rang up its 10th straight vic
tory last night by whipping Port
land, to 2. Bulwarked by the in
evitable Suitcase Simpson, the Padre
batting power was there in Alb.
Despite the triumph, however,
San Diego still dropped half a
notch more behind the pace setting
Oakland Acorns, who took asdouble-
header from San Francisco, to ]
and 6 to 5.
That mlkilliiig reached things
up for everybody. ! -
At. Seattle. the Rainiers split a
double bill with Sacramento. The
scores were 81 to l,sboth times: The
Solons needed 10 innings TO beat
Jim Wilson, Seattle's 20 game WIN
ner, in the finale; shabby base run
ming cost them the Opener.
At Los Angeles, Choctaw Cal Nc
Lish pitched the Angels to a six hit
3 to 0 shutout over Hollywood. In
posting his 18th triumph, McLish
famed seven and faced only 80 bat
tiers.
Simpson slammed his 23rd home
run of the season for San Diego. 1t
came with one man aboard, brought
his RBI total to 100, and gave him
81 hits for the months Of August.
Wilson was working on six. game
winning streak before Sacramento
cut him short on Len Ratios 10th
inning double with two men aboard
Loutish base running by John Luz
cadello cost the Sacs run in the
first game. He logged it between
third and home, with the result that
a throw from the outfield nabbed
Joe Marty for the third out Of the
inning before Lucadello could cross
the plate AL Lyons drove in all Sc
attle's three runs in the opener with
a double and home run.
The second game at San Fran
cisco was called after seven innings
because of the curfew. The Oaks
won both games in the seventh-the
first with six run assault that
wrecked AL Liens one hitter; the
second with a three run outburst
at the expense of Nanny Perez.
