$4,000 Taft Backers
Write Him And Third
Bar Eisenhower Vote
By Edwin A. Lohey

Supporters of Senator Taft,
Republican Of Ohio, have writ
ten about $4,000 letters to him
since his defeat for the Republi-
can nomination for President at
the Chicago convention.
This is the largest flood of mail
to reach the Ohio Senator on q
single issue since he entered pub
lie life.
About one-third Of the letters,
according to members Of the SEN
ator's staff. are from writer's who
express bitter refusal to vote for
Gen. Eisenhower in November.
The temper of the Taft adher-
ents raises the important ques-
ton Of Senator Taft's own role
in the Republican campaign.
To some members of the Eisen-
hover brain trust, particularly
those connected with the Gov
ernor Dewey wing of the Republi-
can party, Senator Taft's feelings
are immaterial.
They beat him at Chicago and
want him to stay beaten.
Get Standard Assurance.
To others around Gen. Eisen-
hover, a blessing from Senator
Taft would be a lift, and a bit of
concrete evidence of the unity"
that they've been talking about.
Senator Taft himself is far from
the political market place, vaca-
tioning with his wife, children and
grandchildren at the family sum-
mer place in Murray Bay. Quebec.
He is not expected back in WASH
ington until about September 8.
Politicians who have sent mes
SageS to Senator Taft through his
staff, asking for comments on the
campaign. have been told merely
that Senator Taft is going to sup
port the Eisenhower-Nixon ticket.
This is a standard assurance,
and means nothing to profess
sional politician.
The professionals take It for
granted that Senator Taft will
speak in Ohio this fall on behalf
of his brother. Charles, the Re-
publican nominee for Governor.
and for Senator Bricker, who is
defending his seat against the on
rushing assault of Mike Di Sale,
the Democratic nominee for the
Senate.
May Wait Week Or So.
But it is believed here that Sem
ator Taft himself doesn't know at
this date whether he will stump
for Gen. Eisenhower and Senator
Senator Taft's one great asset .
his associates believe, is the re-
Spect and affection that his fol-
lowers have for him. This could

Byrd Defends Record
On Economy Issues;
|Assai|s U. 5. Spending
ey the Associated Pres.

PULASKI, Va, June 14.-Sena-
tor Harry F. Byrd tonight chall-
enged ANY man in public life to
produce a better record. for
economy. efficiency and sound
progress in Government" than the
one he has compiled during 10
years in Congress.
He topped off a two-day tour
through Southwestern Virginia
here tonight with another of his
|blistering attacks against Federal
expenditures. a.
"The Federal Government is
spending your money at the rate
of $4,000 every time the clock
ticks" he said in his prepared
address. That is approximately
the amount to be paid in Federal
taxes this year by a man earning
$12 900 year with a wife and two
children.
Collects $1,000 Every Second.
"The Federal Government is
collecting taxes from you at a
rate of nearly $1,000 every second
of every day and every night. The
per capita income in this country
is now estimated at 81, ,625 a year.
"The Federal Government is
adding to our public debt through
deficit spending at the rate of
about $400 second"
Besides his address here, Sena-
tor Byrd delivered a speech at
Richlands and made brief stops
to meet with friends at Lebanon
and Pearisburg. The trip was the
senior Virginia Senator's second
into this mountainous section
since he began his reelection
campaign.
Says Gap Will Widen.
In his Pulaski speech, Senator
Byrd said the gap between Federal
tax rates and expenditures will get
wider. He said the dollar is now
worth only SO cents and is still
going down in value.
With a new chain of deficits
reaching as far as we can see into
the future, we are already carry
ing a Federal debt greater than
any other nation ever dared
create" he said.
The Senator mentioned that
more than 10 per cent of the taxes
collected by the Federal Govern
ment goes for interest on debts.
What would happen if we
should find that we couldn't pay
it off, we couldn't refinance it, or
we couldn't pay the INTEREST,"" he
asked.

800 Red Casualties
Inflicted in 4 Days Of
Fiqht for Hill Cluster
BY the Associated Press

SEOUL. Korea. Sunday, June
15.-Allied troops have killed or
wounded at least 800 Chinese
Reds in the four -day-old battle
for cluster of hills on Korea's
western front, the 9th Army said
today.
A staff officer said the figures
are incomplete. They include ATT
counted and estimated killed and
338 estimated wounded.
Fighting for the high ground
slackened off Sunday after one
of the heaviest Communist artil-
lery barrages since the Korean
war started.
The staff officer said the Reds
hurled 11.736 rounds of artillery
and mortar fire along the 1885,
mile front in the 24-hour period
ended at pm. Saturday.
This is probably the highest
of the war for the Communists" {"
he said. "and certainly the high
est" since the twilight war began
last November.
Air War Steps Up.
The tempo stepped-up in the air
war, too. Waves of Allied fighter
bombers pounded on a hidden
Red airf1eld late Saturday and
left the runway pocked with bomb
craters. The field is less than
100 miles north of the front lines,
and close enough to threaten
allied infantrymen.
Maj. James Crutchfield of
Graceville. Fla, described the air
base he helped destroy as "the
hottest target in North Korea"
1--WE ciobbered them good" he
added.
More than $50 jets and pro-
peller- driven fighter bombers
swarmed over the camouf1aged
field.
Earlier yesterday two regiments
of the 45th (Oklahoma) Division
hurled back a Chinese battalion
trying to cut off newly won hill
positions near Chorwon on the
western front, some so miles north
of Seoul.
Field Marshall Lord Alexander,
Britain's Defense Minister, visited
the Commonwealth Division at
the front yesterday and told news
men the Communists would suffer
terrific losses if they launch a
new all-out offensive.
From what I've seen today on
this 'front.'" Lord Alexander said,
II would say the enemy would
take terrific loss and would not
break through"

American Guards Use
Tear Gas on Rebels
In ; Koje Stockades
By the Associated Pres.

KOJE ISLAND, Korea, Sunday,

hurled tear gas grenades into
three new prison stockades yes

defled orders.
The clouds of choking gas
quickly broke up the demonstra-

camp officials said.
Troops herded 900 defiant North
Koreans into a narrow corridor
beside a compound where they
seized Is Red leaders and liberated
I273 prisoners who said they were
anti Communist.

obey orders to file into an exercise
area for f1ngerprinting. They sub
mitted meekly, however, after a

thrown over the fence.
What may prove to be the first

Gen. Eisenhower said he had no
idea what progress he was making
in his drive to cultivate conven-
ton delegates. His obligation, he
said, was merely to explain my

ducing government expenditures
Gen. Eisenhower stressed the
necessity of eliminating Govern
ment deficits. He made no men,
ton of charges by President Tru-
man yesterday that his recon-
mendations on Government. fl
nances amounted to foolish talk
Without referring directly to
specific legislation, the candidate
declared that "the full influence OF
the Federal Government must be
used in correcting any discrimi-
nation. Federal money. he said
should be used for any purpose
"on completely equal basis.
There are other delicate
parts of this great problem that
are going to be solved only
through increased education, bet
ter understanding and particularly
understanding of this one point
if I in any manner contribute tc
unfair discriminatory treatment
to any minority thereby am risk
ing my own rights. If enough suf-
fer, finally there can be no rights
as we know them"
Gen. Eisenhower had to omit
several other questions on his list
because of lack of time. In con-
clusion, he said:
I'm our struggle for peace and
security which is the common
problem of our time, I ask you
never to forget the spiritual
strength that is America. We
must never in, this country lose
integrity and honor both among
