Allies Continue Heavy Fighting

us. Eighth Army Headquar- ters. Korea R - A thin line of dog-tired American infantrymen today edged toward the top of the last Redheld peak on crag- gy Heartbreak Ridge in eastern Korea.
 Last reports put them within 200 yards of the summit. Com munist grenades and machine gun fire poured down from Red bunkers above as inc troops of the us. Second Divisions 23rd Regiment fought forward toof by foot and bunker by bunker.
 Across the Mundung Valley to the west the Ninth Regiment of the Second Division fought fiercely-resisting North Koreans for possession of Kim Il Sung Ridge, named by the Reds for the North Korean premier. A pooled dispatch from the front said the doughboys took several small hills. Their progre ess toward the ridge itself was slowed by Communist artillery and small arms fire.
 Between Kim and Heartbreak, infantrymen of the 30th Regl- ment, also of the Second Divi- sion, slashed northWard and cap tured a small hill. Tanks at tached to the regiment moved into the valley and pounded Red positions on Kim.
 Other Allied tanks roared into Satae east of HeartbIeak for the third straight day. They opened point-blank fire on the Reds but received heavy artillery fire in return.
 Across the war torn peninsula on the western front British and American infantrymen ground slowly forward on both sides of the upper Imjin River against bitterly resisting Reds.
 There was little but patrol action on the West-central front.
 The Allied advance Sunday was made behind one of the heaviest artillery barrages of the war. A pooled dispatch said the UN.'s big guns fired 2O,683 rounds in 12 hours.
 Fighter-bombers relentlessly pounded Red road and rail fla cilities ...-:-
 LIN. pilots said they cut rail lines in more than 60 places in western and northwestern Ko- req. In pre-dawn attacks on the east coast, Fifth Air Force pilots said they spotted 1900 Red ve- hicles and destroyed at least 125. Two trains were attacked but results were not observed.

MAINz. Germany. Sept. IA
Fifteen prisoners of war arrived
here last night from a Soviet work
camp at Kiev. where they said
they had been forced to work on
farms and in factories under de-
plorable conditions.
The men, who came from the
Saar. Aisace-Lorraine and Paris,
all had been conscripted by the
German Army in 1912. They were
captured later by the Russians
and put to work, they said.
One man said they tried to
strike because of the conditions.
but the Russians would cut their
meager rationS as much as 80 per
cent to force them back to work.
The Is who are en- route home,
are part of 800 prisoners whose
freedom was promised after long
negotiations between the French
and Russians. One group was re-
leased last month and others are
to be freed later.

U. n. and Communist!
Waiting for Replies
To Latest MESSAGES
By The Associated Press

: TOKYO. Sept. IA. - Korean
armistice talks remained ruptured
for the 23rd day as the United
Nations command and the Com
muniSts today awaited answers to
their latest notes to each other.
The Allied board of strategy
wants the Red reaction to the
U. N. apology for the straf1ng of
the Kaesong conference site early
Monday morning.
The Reds want Gen. Ridgway'S
reply to their rejection of his sug-
gestion that the truce talks be
moved to another site.
Gen. Rldgway's headquarters
disclosed for the first time today
the Communist high commands S
refusal to meet in a new place.
The message from North Korean
Gen. Kim II Sung and Chinese
Gen. Peng Teh-huai was delivered
to a U. N. command liaison officer
at 8 am. Wednesday at Panmun4
JON, Communist outpost southeast
of KaeSong.
There was no explanation from
the Supreme Allied Commanders
Office why the U. N. command
waited more than two days before
disclosing the contents of the
Communist note.
The Communist high command
has been adamant in its stand
against moving the talks from
Kaesong. 1t told Gen. Ridgeway
his plan wars completely unsatis-
factory and unacceptable"
1t said the only way the con-
ferenceS can be resumed ION a
normal and equal basis" is for the
U. N. command to "put an end
at once to the inceSSant acts of
violations of the agreement and
deal with the numerous provoca-
tions against which our side has
lodged protests.
The Communists have claimed
numerous air and ground viola
tionS of the smile neutral zone
around Kaesong by the U. N.
Allies. The U. N. command has
admitted only one of them-the
strafing early last Monday.
Peiping radio said last night the
armistice negotiations "could start
again Immediately" and quick
agreement could be reached if the
Allies would admit Communist
accusations of neutrality viola

Korean Hero's Story Provides
Inspiration for Bond Booklet

A wounded Korean war vet
Ieran's story of a war is providing
the inspiration for a cartoon book
let. which the Treasury Depart
Iment hopes will add new impetus
to the Defense Savings Bond
drive.
Last winter, 1t. Robert T. Fall
lon, a West Point graduate who
considers Washington his home
town, wrote a simple letter to the
editor of Richmond newspaper
that was reprinted by The Star.

Your Own Front Lawn" was
printed here on January "a.
1t began, II want to tell you
something about a war" and it
told of a shivering. hungry soldier
in foxhole in front Of the house
where you sit inside by warm
fireplace.
$1,000 To Be Distributed.
It was 1t. Fallon's message to
the home front and the accom-
|panying Star illustration that pro-
vided the basis for a cartoon book
let that is now being distributed
to millions sof workers in more
than 27.000 industrial plants all
over the Nation.
The 16-page, colorful booklet
tells the story. of an American
family who pitch in to win the
battle on the home front while
their son and brother goes to war.
But it chiefly tells of the pay
roll savings plan, which is be-
ing accelerated in the present De-
fense Savings Bond drive that
began Labor Day and will con-
tinue to October 81.
Entitled "Foxhole on Your Front
Lawn" the front of the booklet
depicts just that. plus rugged
looking, unShaven soldier crouched
ready with his MI rifle.
Caught Eye of CartoonistS.
1t. Fallon's story and the illus
tration caught the eye of Alex
Raymond. president of the Ma
tional CartooniSts Society and
creator of the RIP Kirby" strip.
and the society went to work.
Gus Edison, chairman of the
