to give , the New York Giants a 5 to 4 victory over Brooklyn ,in

gue pennant at the Polo Grounds today. v ' ; .
The tremendous blow, one of the most valuable ever struck,
came with one down in the final
chapter to electrify a crowd of

to a Dodger victory only minutes
before..
The Flying Scof Homers
Few madder scenes ever have
been seen on the diamond than
that put on. by Manager Leo
Durocher’s men. as ’ the Flying
Scot trotted around the , sacks
behind Clint Hartung and Whitey
Lockman after, he had powdered
the second pitch thrown by Ralph
Branca, Dodger .reliefer.
The great blow climaxed the
most spectacular pennant dash in
the game and sent a club into the

' WASHINGTON, Oct. 3— (lP)
Russia set off . a second atomic
‘bomb recently, the White. House
announced today.
The terse statement termed the
blast “another atomic bomb.”
This was the first. official con
firmation that President Truman
referred to a bomb when he an
nounced the Soviet’s ihit i a 1
“atomic explosion” Sept. 23, 1949.
Not Hydrogen Bomb
Only minutes ahead of the of
ficial word, the Associated Press
had begun transmission of infor
mation from other competent
sources that the government was
studying information indicating
the Russians actually made two
atomic explosive tests in recent
days or weeks one of them a
-failure. ,
/-These sources said the data al
ready studied indicates the tests
involved only standard nuclear
fission—not the fusion type ex
plosion involved in the hydrogen
bomb. 1 ,
Details Withheld
"/ The" Whiter House- did - not-go
into such details Presidential Sec
retary Joseph Short concluded
his brief statement:
. “Further, details cannot be
giyen without adversely affect

Senator Hickenlooper (R-la.),
former chairman and member of
the congressional, atomic commit
tee, said earlier in a Baltimore
speech, that powerful new atomic
weapons .were av/ailable for use
in Korea. He indicated he fav
ored their use but said this was
a military decision'.
'But the president’s announce
ment caused another atomic com
mitteeman, Rep. Van Zandt (R 1
Penn.), to conclude that the So

for' several weeks. “It explains
why we’ have, not used atomic

Reds Send
Truce Reply
To Ridgway
MUNSAN, Korea, Thursday,
Oct. 4— (JP) —A message from the
top North Korean and Chinese
Red commanders in Korea to
Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway was
delivered about 10 a.m. today
(8 p.m. EST Wednesday) to allied
liasion officers at Panmunjom.
The message, from North Kor
ean Premier Kim II Sung and
Chinese Red General Peng Teh-
Huai, presumably was the an
swer to General Ridgway’s sug
gestion that the suspended cease
fire talks be resumed at a new
site in no-man’s land.
Allied representatives flew in
two helicopters to Panmunjom,
five miles east of Kaesong, to
get the message. They left shortly
before 10 a.m. and returned to
Munsan,. _ allied Advance base
camp, at 10:15 a.m.
Ridgway's Message
Today’s flight was tfcie first by
the Allies to the Kaesong neu
tral zone since Sept. 27.
At. that time Col. Andrew J.
Kinney delivered Ridgway’s mes
sage to the Reds. The message
suggested a new meeting site in
a no-man’s land near the village
of' Songhyon.
The Reds broke off the talks
at' Kaesong after charging an
Allied plane had tried to “mur
der” the Red negotiators the
night before. The charge was in
vestigated and denied. But there
after the Reds kept the talks
suspended while piling up more
such charges.
There were mounting in
dications, however, that th 6 thun
der of war would drown out the
whisper of peace in Korea as
Gen. Omar‘Bradley cut short his
visit to the Far East last night
and flew back home.
