Transcript of Porley
Proves He Was Right,
He Tells Senators
By |. Edqor Primo

Harold E. Stassen, engaged in a
running battle with the admins
tration over Far East polity. to-
day a N'larged that recent State De-
Iparment press releases were false
and deceptive"
In replying to the departments
assertion that his description Of
an October. 1949, round table conv
ference on China was "factually
incorrect" the University of Penn
sylvania president told the Senate
Internal Security subcommittee:
During the last 10 days it has
been proven and admitted that
a whole series of State Depart
ment releases were false and de-
ceptive when they were made"
Stassen Doesn't Elaborate.
| Mr.. StaSSen did not elaborate
the point nor was he questioned
about it. But last night the
State Department denied, as Mr..
Stassen had charged. that there
was a prevailing group" at the
l949 meeting led by Owen Latti-
more and Lawrence K. Rosinger
The department also denied that
this group had recommended a
Hotpoint program which included
American recognition of Rec
China. With his statement, the
department issued "a 90,000-woro

INTERNATIONAL SITUATION.
Papers this morning full of
rumors and portents of war.
Wallace in New York interview
yesterday charged that United
States was fomenting war and
the Czech coup was an act of
desperation by the Communists
to which they were driven by
threat of a rightist coup. Moth
ing could be sillier, but such
statements, even from Wallace,
will have their effect. The fact
is that this country and its
Government are desperately
anxious to avoid war. 1t is SIM
ply a question of how best to
do it. If all Europe lies fiat
while the Russian mob tramps
over it. we will then be faced
with a war under difficult cir
cumstances, and with a very
good chance of losing it.
Next day. March II. Mr..
Forrestal with the rest of
the cabinet joined the Presi-
dent in the oval room of the
White House and accompa-
MED him to the Capitol. The
message was remarkably
forceful. For the first time
the President identified the
Soviet Union as the "one ma
ton" that was blocking all
efforts toward the writing of
a peace and was aggressively
threatening the free world.
We must. he said, meet this
growing menace"

Involved in RuIino

The Public Utilities Commission
today authorized the Capital
Transit Co. to split its stock, 4
for l, and approved a write-down
in the company's capital from $24
million to $1s.720.O00.
The Interstate Commerce Com

proved the split-up, is expected to
give final clearance soon by ap-
proving the addition of the write
down to the original plan.
Under the amended plan, the
company will be allowed to split
its present 100000 shares of 500
par value into 100000 shares of
$3.50 par value.
Today's order directed the COM
pany to issue new stock certi-
ficates.
Approved by Stockholders.
Stockholders Wednesday morn
ing cleared the way for today's
decision by approving the write
down. which will permit the
transfer of $5,2S0,000 to surplus
and the deduction of an "unclas-
sif1ed" item of $3.50, 900 from
company assets.
In Withholding approval last
January of the company's original
petition for permission to split the
shares, filed last November, the
commission stipulated that the
questioned item must be removed
by the company before the split
could be approved.
The Interstate Commerce Com

up on the basis of $25 par value

Infantry Clears Reds
Off Heartbreak Peak
In Long, Cost|yFight
Outnumbered Sabre Jets
Shoot Down One Red
Fighter, Damage Six
BY the Associated Press

UNITED STATES 9th ARMY
HEADQUARTERS. Korea, Oct.
|12.-Bloody bayonets of American
and French infantrymen today
cleared the Reds of the last peak
'of Heartbreak Ridge. climaxing
the longest and most costly hill
battle of the Korean war.
Fierce fighting continued on the
northern slope below the crest.
United States 9th Army officers
referred to it as "mopping up"
The Allies captured two other
nearby peaks in the Eastern Ko-
rean mountains.
In a blazing air battle over
Northeastern Korea United States
F-86 Sabre jet pilots reported
they shot down one Red jet and
damaged six. The 5th Air Force
said the Sabres were outnumbered
100 to 80. 1t said no American
jets were lost in the Commute
fight.
Carrier Planes Active.
Along the western front Chinese
Reds hurled three attacks at the
United Nations line. Two were
beaten back.
The third forced elements of
the United States 1st Cavalry
Division to withdraw. The pull
back was in the Yonchon sector,
roughly 25 miles northeast of
Panmunjom, where Red and U. N.
liaison officers have conferred on
reopening truce talks.
Allied warplanes were out in
force today. Land-based planes
mounted 1,045 sorties yesterday,
the highest number in four
months. Four carriers sent their
planes aloft, including 80 sorties
off the Australian escort carrier
Sydney. The Navy said this was
possibly a record for an escort
carrier.
All battle action was over
shadowed by the capture of the
|northernmost peak of Heartbreak
Ridge.
Allied Losses Heavy.
A little band of haggard French
men and Americans seized it ir
a night-long attack. At 8 am
they stood looking across the crest
at the climax of 81 days of in
credible fighting.
At their feet were the burned
and twisted bodies of NORTH
Korean Communists whose fanat.
icAl defense was equaled only BY
the courage that won the bitter
admiration of the men who killed
them in hand-to-hand struggle.

(Three days after the re-
ceipt of Gen. Clay's telegram
of March S. 1948, expressing
his feeling" that war might
be. imminent, the Senate
Armed Services Committee,
which had been looking very
dubious on proposed UNIT
legislation, voted to proceed
forthwith to start hearings on
the measure.
CMr. Forrestal had been
planning to call the Joint
Chiefs together for a meeting
outside of Washington to set
tie the growing service quar-
rels over their assigned "roles
and missions. This confer
ence opened on March II in
the seclusion of the Key West
Naval Base; before it ended
on Sunday. the 14th, it had
not only reached agreement
on the missions, but also had
concluded that it is now nee
essary to ask Immediately for
a restoration of selective serv-
ice" and that an immediate
examination of atomic energy
matters is required, including
the decision on whether now
is the time for turning GUS
tody of the weapons over to
the armed services
(And it also was decided to
ask the President to request a
supplemental appropriation
from Congress to raise our
total armed strength to a
point. as Mr.. Forrestal later
put it, where it more nearly
met the realities of the world
situation"
when Mr.. Forrestal re-
ported back to the President
on Monday, March Is, he
found that Mr.. Truman, al
ready advised of the Joint
Chiefs conclusion that a re-
vival of the draft was neces-
sary, had reached a dramatic

Fifty North Koreans, a few in

started down the road in the di-

ford made several passes over
them, flying at low altitude, "just
to keep them in line
AS they neared the lines of the
ground Marines, Swinford radioed
to tell of the surrendering North
Koreans. The ground units sent out
a patrol to meet them.
