The Executive Committee of the
League Of Red Gross Societies to-
day called on both sides in the
Korean war to repatriate sick and
wounded war prisoners immedi-
Iately without awaiting a resump-
ton of armistice talks.
Only the Red Cross Societies Of
the Soviet Union and Communist
China voted against the resolution,
which was proposed by the British
Red Cross delegate, the Countess

The resolution urged the bel

tions by repatriating sick and
wounded POWs in accordance
with the appropriate articles of
the Geneva conventions"

and to repatriate all POWs in &C
cordance with international con-
ventions" was rejected II votes to

William Taylor Pryse, jr., 13-
year-old muscular dystrophy vic
tim, today treasures a miniature
signed football given him by his
favorite football hero, Sammy
Baugh of the Washington Red
skins.
Presentation of the memento
last night in the boys home, 4609
Albemarle street NV, was one
of Baugh's last acts as a football
player. Tomorrow he plays the
final game of his 16-year career,
when he quarterbacks the Red
skins against the Philadelphia
Eagles.
When the retiring player heard
that William would like to see him
and discuss the fine points of the
game (William has been following
the Redskins for as long as he can
remember), Baugh decided to pay
the visit. William. in his Wheel
chair was pretty happy about the
whole thing, since the ball also
was autographed by all the other
members of the Redskins.
The boy amazed Baugh with
his knowledge of the game and

Pinay Stakes Regime
On Welfare and Tax Issues
BY the Assoeiatsd Press

PARIS, Dec. 13.-Premier An
tome Pinay last night staked his
governments life on two items
in his controversial budget, in
cluding one already voted down
by the National Assembly.
The premier demanded votes
of confidence-giving the Assem-
bly, the choice Of approving the
proposals or overthrowing the
government-on both measures.
The balloting will be held Tues
day.
One of the items involves the
transfer Of funds within the gov
ernment's social welfare program.
The second would give the cabi-
net the right to impose tax re-
forms by decree unless the AS
sembly acts on them by next May
81.
The Assembly has been reluc-
tant to approve the reforms be-
cause they are unpopular In rural
France. Earlier yesterday. they
were voted down 337 to 272 In 10
ballot that did not involve the
question Of confidence In the gov
ernment.

Tough South Koreans
Storm Up Little Nori
And Hold Peak Of Hill
BY the Associated Press

SEOUL, Dec. 13.-Tough little
South Korean troops today
stormed to the top of Little Nori
Hill, lost more than two days
ago, drove off Red remnants, then
stuck there stubbornly under
steady pounding from Communist
guns and infantry assaults.
Other Republic of Korea SOL
diers attacked Reds on Big Nori,
some 300 yards to the north.
The ROKs battled to within
IS yards Of Big Norris crest. were
pinned down more than two hours
by heavy artillery and mortar
fire and then were forced to
withdraw.
Dug In on Little NOri.
Associated Press Correspondent
Milo Farneti reported a few South
Korean infantrymen dashed GAL
lantly through the curtain of
Chinese fire and died atop Big
Nori after hurting hand grenadeS
into Communist positions.
Although failing to take the
larger peak, the South KoreanSI
on Big Nori absorbed so much Of
the Communist fire that their
comrades were able to dig in deep
er on Little Nori. Those troops
received only harassing fire after
hurting back Chinese company
some ITS men-shortly before
noon.
Both western front hills, gate
posts on the traditional northern
invasion route to this old cap
ital, were grabbed by Communists
in swift attacks early Thursday.
They are on the Imjin River about
20 miles north of Seoul.
10th ROK Counterattack.
The drive UP steep. frozen Little
Nori was the 10th counterSmash
by the ROKs. It turned out to
be the sixth time the peak has
changed hands since the Chinese
picked it as the scene for their
latest small-scale offensive.
Mr.. Farneti reported that front
line officers estimated the Chi
nese lost about 800 men today,
boosting to nearly 1000 those
killed, wounded and captured
since the fighting erupted in that
sector.
Many of the casualties were
inflicted by Allied tanks ranging
along both sides of the ridgelines.
The fighting reminiscent of
the fierce battles on Sniper Ridge
and Triangle Hill on the central
front a month ago-subsided at
dusk today.
Rest of Front Quiet.
The rest of the snow-spotted I
battlefront was relatively quiet.
The United States 5th Air Force
said its planes destroyed 120 Red
trucks moving toward the front
last night-most of them south of
Pyongyang, North Korean Red
capital.
The Air Force also said four
Allied planes went down over
North Korea in the past week, but |,
not one in air battles with Red
M1G-15 jets. Sabre jets shot down
10 MICS during the period, prob
ably destroyed one and damaged
one.

Bridges Sets Sights
AT Balanced Budget,
May Keep Floor Rule
By J. A. o'Leoy

A balanced Federal budget will
be the goal Of Senator Bridges
Of New Hampshire. who will be
chairman Of the Senate Appro-
priations Committee when the Re-
lpublicans organize the new Con-
gress in January.
Senator Bridges, Republican
floor leader in this Congress, told
reporters again yesterday he also
lis willing to continue as leader,
Il II it would help his party to
organize without q fight.
He made 1t clear, however, that.
he will not pass up the appro-
lpriations craftsmanship for any
other post. Senator Bridges ad-
mitted the pressure from his Re-
publican colleagues to retain the
floor leader spot has increased
since Senator Taft criticized
President elect Eisenhower's
choice Of a Democratic labor
leader, Martin P. Durkin, for
Secretary of Labor.
Floor Fight Feared.
Some Republicans fear that If
Senator Bridges steps out Of the
floor leadership, it will touch of
fight between Taft and Eisen-
hover supporters for the assign
ment.,
Senator's Taft and Bridges will
have a chance to review the situ-
ation when they attend the Grid
iron Club dinner here tonight.
The Ohioan is due in town just
in time for the dinner.
There had been reports that Re-
publican Senators would hold
series of informal conferences
over this week end, but Senator
Bridges said there will not be
enough of them here for repre-
sentative exchange of views.
Senator Bridges said he would
rather be President pro tenn and
appropriations chairman. But he
Emphasized that he is a team
player" and if. by remaining floor
leader he can promote harmony
in party ranks, he will do so.
Much Depends on Taft.
If Senator Taft decides to re-
tain his post as Chairman of the
Republican Policy Committee. it
is expected Senator Bridges will
be prevailed on to stay as floor
leader. AS policy chairman. Sem
ator Taft has welded influence
at least equal to the floor leaders
in the last few years.
Some of Senator Taft's friends
believe it might be better for
President-elect Eisenhower to
have Senator Taft as floor leader
than as policy chairman. They
argue that if the Ohio Senator
was floor leader there would be
more chance to work out in
private conferences any differ
ences with the White House than
if he is head Of the Policy Com
mittee.

Official Tally Finds
Nation Cast Record
.0f 61,547,861 Votes
BY the Assoeioted Press

Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower de.
feated Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson
for President on November 4 BY
6.616,233 as a vote-conscious elec.
torate cast a record-smashine
81 ,547,861 ballots.
These are the official figures al
compiled by the Associated Press
as the last four States reported
their canvasses yesterday to com.
Iplete the national count:
Gen. Eisenhower ---33, ,927,549
Gov. Stevenson - 27,311,316
Others --------- 308,996
Presidential electors will cast
their votes in the States Monday
Gen. Eisenhower carried 80 States
with an electoral vote of 442 and
Gov. Stevenson won nine States
with 80. Congress in joint ses-
sion will make the count ultra
official January 6 and Gen. Eisen-
hover will take Office January 20.
The 1852 official figures broke
many records. The total vote
shattered the previous record of
1910 by 11,727.549 and exceeded
the 1948 aggregate by 1883, ,572
81 Per Cent for New York.
Thirty-nine States showed q
better than 10 per cent turnout
Where actual registrations were
known it is believed New York led
in this category with 81 per cent.
Rhode Island, Connecticut, Idaho
Massachusetts,, Michigan, Okla
homa and Utah exceeded this but
only in percentages based on
estimated registrations" which
could have been too low.
All told, 62.042.777 ballots were
cast over the Nation, but only
81, 1,547,861 were officially counted
for President. The higher figure,
never entered in the record books,
includes the highest vote in each
State regardless of the contest. 1t
embraces blank and void votes
those marked for State or local
candidates but not for Presi-
dent. and those thrown out for
improper marking.
Gen. Eisenhower polled $751;
per cent Of the total presidential
vote; Gen. Stevenson, 44.4, and
others, 0.5. The Others" were
minor party candidate votes. Gen.
Eisenhower's ratio of the major
party vote was 55.4; Gov. Steven
sons, 44.6.
Sign Of Personal Triumph.
An indication of the Republican
personal triumph is
that he ran ahead of his party's
ticket in 81 of the 81 States for
which figures were available last
night. He Jagged behind G. o. P.
State candidates in Arizona,
Minnesota. New Hampshire, North
Dakota, vermont and WiScon-
sin.
Gov. Stevenson outpolled Demo-
cratic State tickets in only nine
States and they topped his vote
in %. The nine where he led
his party's ticket were Arizona,
Delaware, Kentucky, Maine, New
Hampshire, New Jersey, New York,
North and South Dakota.
The better showing by Gen.
than Gov. Stevenson
in relation to their party's State
tickets explains in large measure
why the Republicans came up
with such slim majorities in Con-
gress. Despite Gen. Eisenhower's
popular vote. his party showed net
gains Of only 10 House members,
two Senators and five Cover

Marine. Corps 70 Stop
Taking Draftees as
Army Jumps lis Call

Draft calls for the Army will
jump from 10000 in June to
81 900 in July, and continue at
that rate for the rest Of the sum-
mer.
The Pentagon levied the June
and July calls on Selective Serv-
ice yesterday. and disclosed that
the Marine Corps will stop taking
draftees after May.
Meanwhile, the Defense De-
partment said a limited number
of Navy personnel will be the only
Iservicemen to serve the full nine
month extension of enlistments
ordered recently by President
Truman.
To Increase Later.
Officials said draft calls are ex-
pected to remain at about $1,000
a month through September
That month will mark the second
anniversary Of post-Korea induc-
tions. Later in the year, calls are
Expected to increase substantially
to provide requirements fol
draftees who finish their two
years of service.
April and May calls are for
10000 men each. The June and
July quotas bring to 954,430 the
number of men drafted during
the last two years. OF that total
873, 900 have gone to the Army
and 81, ,430 to the Marine Corps.
The Marine Corps, officials said
now is well on its way toward its
authorized strength Of 238.000
officers and enlisted men. The
Navy and Air Force have relied
entirely on voluntary enlistments
and recall of Reservists to keep
up their strengths.

will be reduced gradually until

are expected to be necessary.
Maximum extension for the Air
Force is expected to be six months
for men whose enliStments would
have ended this July. Maximum
extension for the Marine Corps
was placed at four months. These
extension schedules also are ex-
pected to decrease gradually.
