On the left flank. the British

withdray from a hill taken earlier
Saturday.
On the central front, an Ameri-
can patrol was surrounded by
Chinese for six hours between
KumhWa and Pyonggang but
escaped under cover of an inten-
sive Allied artillery barrage.
The Allies seized control of
"Heartbreak Ridge by executing
an end run. The Reds split their
forces to meet anticipated thrusts
from armored patrols moving in
to the Satae Valley east of the
ridge.
Another allied armored force
thrust up the Mundung Valley,
west of the ridge.
At nightfall Friday, infantry
men of the End Divisions 23d

BY daybreak Saturday, they

were killed, others fled in dis
order.
French troops, attached to the
23d, took the north side of the
peak without trouble. Two peaks
west of the ridge were seized by
the divisions 9th and 38tf

All but the extreme northern
crags of "Heartbreak Ridge

Tax Penalties Studied
For Packers VIOLATING
Cattle Price CeiIinqs
By the Associated Press

Price Director Michael V. Di-
Sale, whose agents have reported
ceiling violations by TAO meat
companies, yesterday announced
a plan to penalize offenders
through the tax laws.
Mr.. Disable said the Govern
ment is exploring the possibility
of diSalloWing, in the figuring of
tax returns, any business cost
deductions attributable to the
payment of over-ceiling payments
for live cattle.
President Truman gave notice
on Thursday that all Federal
agencies will cooperate in meat
price enforcement. Mr.. DiSalle's
folloW-up statement yesterday
disclosed that the Internal Reve-
nue. Bureau may play a major
role in diScouraging violators."
The Defense Production Act,
Mr.. Disable noted, authorizes Mr..
Truman to decide to what extent
over-ceiling payments, or fines
paid for price control violations,
shall be regarded by tax author
tiles in judging business expenses.
Procedure Studied.
1--WE intend to consult with other
Government agencies to work out
procedures for implementing this
provision, and it would conceivably
become a very expensive matter to
persons consistently paying above
ceilings for goods" Mr.. Disable
said.
This penalty may be used
against persons in the meat indus
try found paying above ceilings
for live cattle"
Meanwhile. he reported, the OPS
meat price enforcement drive is
forging ahead and already has
had an apparent effect in de-
pressing the prices of live cattle.
Since this drive was started
September "a, top prices for cattle
at Chicago have gone down for all
grades except prime"
Inspection of 1853 packing
plants so far has uncovered l,849
violations by TAO packing plants.
Injunction Suits Filed.
Injunction suits have been
lodged against IS slaughterers and
four criminal complaints have
been filed in Federal district courts
against two slaughtererS.
The temptation to go out and
bid up cattle prices isn't so tempt
ing as it has been, especially when
slaughterers know that a close
check is being made on purchases
of cattle" the price stabiliZation
director said.
Mr.. Disable said he could not
promise to end entirely the pres
ent distortion of nal t.eting cnan-
nels" without the help of slaugh-
ter quotas which allocate beef ami
mails among packing plants.
We do intend to keep prices
in legal bounds, however, and this
should eliminate some of the fren-
zled competitive buying of live cat
tie which causes the worst disrup-
ton of supplies" he said.
The OPS chief reported that the
top Chicago price for good steers
has declined IS cents a 100 pounds
since September "a and the top
for commercial grade COWS has
dropped 81.
