R0AD-RAIL
CENTER IN
UN HANDS
Womb Is Reedptured by
Tank LED American and
French Fighting Forces

A small tank-led American and
French force fought through a crust
of Red Koreans today into the key
road-rail center of Womb. The
Allies found the town empty.
Allied intelligence said however,
the Reds have 200 tanks and 500
Chinese planes poised farther north
for a big push into the heart Of
South Korea. 1t said the Com
munists have massed a force of pos
sibly 100000 troops for a new of
fensive.
The Allies had abandoned Womb
to the Reds only Monday after two
days of fighting for the gateway
town to South Korea's interior.
Enemy Position Attacked
Fighting swirled in new fallen
snow throughout the Womb area
Censorship obscured the sharp de-
tails but permitted disclosure in a
field dispatch that the US. Second
Division supported by French units
was attacking strong enemy forces
in the area.
A brief A.P. field dispatch from
the Second Division front indicated
the Korean Reds had counterat-
tackled In force. Timed at 10:43 pm
Wednesday t5:43 am, PSTD, it said
that an attempt to outflank U.N.
forces was beaten back.
Beat Back Blows
At nightfall small American
task force still occupied Womb. As
miles south of the border in the
center of the Korean peninsula.
A tank supported company of the
Second Division swept into the town
from the southeast after beating Oft
fierce Red Korean counterblows.
1t was the biggest United Nations
offensive effort in days. The Allied
move was obviously an attempt to
throw off balance the Red drive
down the center of the peninsula
threatening the Taejon Taegu
escape corridor for Eighth Army
forces withdrawing in the west to-
ward the old Allied Pusan beach,
head.
Now the Communists appeared to
be ready to strike heavy blow in
the west. Allied intelligence officers
said great masses of enemy troops
were moving southwark from
staging area is miles north to rs
miles south of fallen Seoul.
General Macarthur, in his war
summary warned of very large"
Communist force strung along a
70-mile font from Osan to Womb.
He ssid It was capable of mount
ing powerful offensive supported
in great depth"
Estimated Enemy Strength
The strength Of the force poised
on the battleline or in close reserve
was estimated at 100000 men.
MacArthur's summary declared:
Because of its large manpower po-
tential 1t can strike in number
Of places at the same time with
ample reserves to support each for
ward thrust"
Censorship
Censorship restrictions on battle
news from Korea were frightened
yesterday. The new rules threaten
custer or even court martial for a
correspondent who violates them.

the second quarterly report of
his stewardship:
Factors which make for new
infiationary pressure are clearly
present. If we permit the pres
ent lull to lure US into weakening
our system of controls and delay
ing other measures to counter in
flation, we run the risk of paving
a severe penalty in the months
to come. -. The program must
60 forward whatever happens in
Korea. ). We dare not slacken
the pace of defense mobilization
until the strength of the FIR e e
world is sufficient to meet the
attack.
What makes the present mom-
ent so especially d rous?
First of all because Korea, much
as the world has shrunk, is a
long way off. If the actual fight
ing there should stop. the mere
threat of more aggression in Iran,
in Yugoslavia, in Indo-C China
may seem more distant still.
Secondly, because the cease
fire prospect has come upon a
situation in which the full press
ure of defense initiation is yet to
be felt. and in which the very
measures now under attack have
checked somewhat the fraction
of initiation now under way.
Production, which has been
able to.take 10 per cent divers
sion. to military in its S tri d e,
will have a harder job when that
diversion reaches 20 per cent next
year. That is, it will reach 20
per cent unless there are enough
citizens 50 naive and noug h
congressman so irresponsible as
/ to start the nation on another
rehabilitation of it's arm e d
might.
Every man in the street may
not grasp all these things. But
the man he sends to Congress
has no excuse if he does not.
Here is place and a time at

which the elected representa-

ents from themselves, even at

DANGER OF 4 IET.D0WN

The great danger of the nom.
ent is less the possibility of a
breakdown in the forthcoming
kaesong truce talks than the &C.
tuality of a letdown on the home
front and the timidity of con-
gressmen who ought to stand
against it.
1t is worthy of note, therefore,
that Democratic President and
Republican industrialist (whose
patriotic service proclaims the
national security knows no par
ty) both have sensed this dan
ger and have warned against it
the same day.
Said President Truman in his
Independence Day speech broad
cast to the nation:
I'VE must remember that Ko-
rea IS only part of a wider con-
fiict. We face a long period of
world tension and great interna-
tional danger. We have t h e
hard task of increasing produc-
ton and controlling imitation in
order to support the stron e
armed forces we must have for
years to come. There are peo-
pie who say our democratic form
Of government cannot do these
things. {. l think these prophets
of doom are wrong. But we
are going through a period that
will test to the almost our self
control, our patriotism and our
faith in our Institutions"

bilization Charles E. Wilson in

Traffic Deaths Mounting 10
 1 Million Mark

CHICAGO, Oct. 3l-R-Traffic deaths on the nations highways are mounting as expected, toward the one million mark, the National Safety Council said today.
 The council announced the total number of deaths for the first nine months of this year-26, ,630- which pushed the grand total since the advent of the automobile well past 99O,0O0."
 That leaves less than 10000 to go before the millionth traffic death is recorded. The council said it's earlier estimate that the millionth fatality would occur during the third week of December was un- changed by the latest figures.
 September alone accounted for 3,650 persons killed in traffic acci- dents. A factor in this total - the highest for any month since Sep tember, 194l was the highest Labor Day traffic death toll on record.
 The nine-month total of 2G,630 was eight percent higher than fer the same period in 1850.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3l = iR - Frank E. Mckinney, 47-year-old Indiana banker and businessman, was elected chairman of the Demo- cialac Mar.of4s1 Io4lli44r.ecc cvo.s,s: ss
 Friends said he intended to serve without pay although the post in recent years has carried a salary of S35,000 year.
 Mckinney, the administrators choice, succeeds William M. Boyle, Jr., of Missouri, who resigned dur ing Senate investigation of alleged influences on the maxim gof REC loans. Boyle gave ill health as the reason for quitting.
 Frank McHale, Indiana National Committeeman, nominated McKin- ney as a man of unquestioned in- tegrity and honesty as well as ability. He said, too, the commit tee must have a chairman who possess character and has re- cord that will stand inspection and investigation"
 Apparently with the REC investi- gation in mind, McHale said Me Kinney was interested in many busi- nesses, but none of them "has any thing to do with receiving contracts or funds or loans from the govern ment."

Tories EIett Own

LONDON, Oct. 31--LR-Winston Churchill's Conservatives elected one of their own number as speak CT of the new House of Commons today in the first contest for the office since 1895.
 The winner was w. s. Morrison, 58, former Minister of Agriculture. The outcome cut the new govern ment's overall majority from 18 to IT, since the speaker is traditionally neutral.
 A group of Labor Party insur- gents precipitated the contest over the speaker. The vote was 3l8 for Morrison and 251 for the Labor candidate. Maj. James Milner. Mill ner, 62, was deputy speaker in the old House.
 The contest plainly meant that the Labor Party intends to fight the new government on every conceiy- able issue, just as Churchill's fol- lowers fought the Labor govern- ment when it was in power.

EAST CENTRAL FRONT, Korea, Oct. 31@R-Maj. Gen. Blackshear B. Bryan, a division commander, said tonight he is willing to paint signs in Chinese in his sector so the Communists can find out ex- actly where the front line is.
 The question of the pinpoint To- cation of the line is one of the is- sues before the cease-fire negotia- tors at Panmunjom.
 Both forces are in new positions now that the October phase of the limited allied offensive has ended. Much no-mans-land still separates the two forces since the Chinese re- treated. Both sides are probing to test the others defenses.
 He isn't coming down here to find out" Briyan said. But he's welcome anytime"
 On the cease-fire talks them selves, allied soldiers resting under a bright autumn sun indicated varying degrees of optimism and pessimism.

Former Alaskan Fading Jury in Shooting Case

SAN LOUIS OBISPO, Calif., Oct. 31-LR The manslaughter trial of Mrs. Margaret Ryan, wealthy former New Yorker, moved today through the painstaking task of se- lecting jury.
 Five tentative jurors were seated yesterday. It may take until week end before a jury is completed.
 Through the tedious questioning. the 41-year-old defendant, who formerly lived in Alaska, sat straight faced and unsmiling. She was smartly clad.
 Her lawyer, Jerry Geisler of Los Angeles, was asking every venire- man how he felt about shooting in self defense.
 Mrs. Ryan repeatedly has said she killed Leonard D. Ray, Jr., last spring when he jabbed .22 rifle against her abdomen. She said she shot him with a pistol in an argu- ment after she asked him, a tres- passer, to get off her ranch.

Alaska Goal Case 10 Jury Al Fairbanks
Lengthy, Involved Dis eussions Revolving on Marketing of Product

FAIRBANKS, Alaska, Oct. 3l-- R-The governments case against Alaska coal firms accused of violat- ing anti trust laws was in the hands of a Federal court jury today.
 The jury in Judge Harry Pratt's courtroom received the case at 5 p.m. yesterday after nearly two weeks of lengthy and involved court discussions revolving around marketing of coal in Alaska.
 Defendants were the Healy River Coal Corp, Usibelli Coal Mines, Evan Jones Coal Co.,, and Harry J. Hill and Emil Usibelli.
 During the trial, government att torneys introduced evidence which they said showed the defendants had conspired in the sale of coal to the military and other markets in Alaska.
 The defendants denied the charge and countered with a claim that figures the government used as the basis of it's case were in complete and misleading.
 Larry Orsini, former secretary treasurer of the Healy company who now operates Fairbanks real estate business, appeared to be the governments chief witness. Orsini described a meeting of coal operat- ors held several years ago and gave testimony which the government contended showed collision among mine operators.
 In rebuttal, the defense offered Testimony by Jim DodsOn, a Fair banks businessman who once was sengaged in the Alaska coal business and attended the meeting, that nc agreements were made there.
 Court sessions have been lengthy and involved reams of records o1 coal contracts and bidding ovel the past years. Testimony mover slowly and at one point in the case the judge charged that a member of the jury had fallen asleep. H' ordered testimony repeated for th' jurors benefit.
