Repeated Red Attacks
On 7 Korean Fronts
BY The Associated Press

SEOUL. Nov. 4.-Dug-in allied
soldiers today hurled back pre-
dawn Red assaults on the Korean
eastern and central fronts.
North Korean Communists
launched six attacks in the Heart
break Ridge sector. Each was
stopped cold despite unusually
heavy Red artillery and mortar
| fire.
| Chinese Reds on the central
front stormed all night long at
South Korean positions atop
bloody Sniper Ridge. The ROKs
beat back the final assault at
dawn.
The United States 9th Army
said Sniper and nearby Triangle
Hill were quieter today than at
any time since the allies launched
their central front attack October

The mercury dipped to a bone
chilling one degree above zero.

| Allied infantrymen, fighting
from trenches and bunkers
stopped the assault cold in 9
three-hour battle. The defenders
estimated they killed or wounded
more than 100 red Koreans.
Five other attacks. up to 17s
men in size. hit elsewhere along
a 4-mile sector.
Before and during the assaults
the Reds pounded allied positions
with 5000 rounds of mortar and
artillery fire. That is about five
times the daily average for the
sector.
On the center, about 800 Chinese
Reds tried to scramble to the tor
of Sniper Ridge during the night

John Randolph said none got
closer than 100 yards.
Communist mortar and artillery
fire on Sniper and triangle slack

A company of Chinese hit an
allied outpost south of Pyonggana
on the central front early this
morning. They seized part of the
hill, but lost it to counterattack-
ing U. N. troops.
In the air war, B-26 Invader
bombers attacked Red supply
routes and front lines during the
night. Pilots reported at least &C

By the As.oeiuisd Press

LONDON, Nov. 4.-Young
Queen Elizabeth II pledged "the
closest and most friendly rela-
ticns'' with the United States

seet away. and one tier below her
on the three-tier dias, sat the
Duke of Edinburgh on a plain
little chair.
| The Queens speech itself, which
she delivered in a firm young
voice for seven minutes, according
to tradition reflected the thinking
of the party in power-the Con-
servative government of Prime
Minister Churchill.
Prays for Korean Peace.
The Queen declared, II earnest
ly pray that in Korea an early
armistice will be arranged" she
added:

l4.-Y. T. Pyun, South Korean
Foreign Minister, served notice
yesterday his government will
claim as it's citizens all Korean
prisoners who refuse to be repatri-
ated if an armistice Is signed at

Meanwhile, Victor Andres Be-
launde of Peru added to the grow

a resolution for the makeup of a
fve-member commission which
would supervise the screening of
prisoners after an armistice is
agreed upon. He suggested that
the opposing sides In Korea name
one delegate each, the General
Assembly appoint two delegates,
and a neutral state, such as Swift

dates often prefer to deal in gen.
eralities than in specifics.
Undoubtedly, Gen. Eisenhower
and Gov. Stevenson have in mind
specific ideas for improving the
Governments personnel system.
Once the new administration
takes over in January, we can
expect more specific information
in that regard from the new
President.
MERIT-As to career employees
being displaced by political parti-
sans in a return to the spoils
system, there seems to be abso-
|lutely no danger of that, regard
less of who wins.
The law specifically places
about 95 per cent of present Gov
Iernment jobs under civil service,
and any tampering with these po-
|sitions would be a clear violation
of the law. f
Besides, with the Nation expert
encing full employment, the job
of the new administration regard
ing rank-and-file positions will be
to find enough people to man
these jobs, rather than finding
jobs for people. In many vital
job categories. the Government is
undermanned and is desperately
seeking employees. For example,
scientific, technical, engineering
mechanical and stenographic type
jobs are going begging in Govern
ment these days.
OF course, there will be a turn
over in the Governments political
jobs There are approximately
|5, 900 of these positions that can
be regarded as political plunS
These are the policy-making posi-
tions whose appointees are Sc
lected by the President.
Eventually the turnover in these
jobs may be felt on the admin
istrative, personnel and budget po-
sition levels in the various de-
partments and agencies. AS new
men take over the operations OF
the bureaus. they may reassign
duties and responsibilities to va
rious individuals. Thus, some
career officials would not lose
their positions but would be
placed in another position in their
agency %
The best assumption, though, Is
that most career offlcialS--thoSe
