Moslem Fanatic
Assassin Is Killed
By Excited Crowd
KARACHI, Pakistan, Oct. 16— (f. P) —Prime Minister Liaquat Ali
Kahn was assassinated tonight by a Moslem extremist who wanted
a holy war with Hindu, India.
The assassin, Sher Akhtar, was killed by a mob which surged
onto the speaker’s platform at Rawalpindi, 30 miles from the seething
Punjab’s border with disputed Kashmir state. Official sources said
the mob caught the killer and
“tore him to pieces.”
, The 56-year-old Liaquat, long a
conciliatory influence - in the em
bittered relations with neighbor
ing India, had just started to
address, a meeting of the Moslem
league. He was shot twice at close
range, in - the chest and head, and
died soon after 5 p.m. in a hospi
tal after an operation,
Pakistan Cabinet To Meet
The Pakistan cabinet was ex
pected to meet at once.to consider
the dangerous new %tate of Pakis
tan-Indian relations that * may
arise from this newest instance
of terrorism in the Moslem world,
the scene of 13 such assassinations
since early in 1945. Some of the
assassinations —notably in Egypt,
Iran, Jordan, and Syria—have
had far-reaching results in rela
tions with western powers.
Foreign Minister Sir Moham
med Zafrullah Khan, a pqssible
choice to succeed Liaquat as
prime minister, hurriedly pre
pared to come home from United
Nations headquarters in New
York. Pakistan has no deputy
prime minister so it is still un
certain who will succeed Liaquat.
Armed Police Patrol Area
No disorder was reported in
the Moslem nation of 80,000,000
people. But preparations were be
ing made for a hasty funeral here
tomorrow.
In Bombay, India, truck loads
of heavily armed police began
intensive patrols for fear that
false reports might set off .Mos
lem-Hindu rioting. False reports
that a Moslem assassinated Mo
handas K. Gandhi set off murder
ous attacks against Bombay’s
400,000 Moslems in 1948. .

Talks Still
In Deadlock,
MUNSAN, Korea, Wednesday,
Oct., 17 (jP)— Communist and
United Nations liaison officers—
still, miles apart on conditions
for resuming the Korean armis
tice talks—make a seventh effort
today to break the seven-weeks
deadlock.
After six attempts, the two
liaison Jeams seemed no nearer
success Tuesday than when they
began discussions one week ago.
However, another meeting was
scheduled for 10 a.m. today at
Panmunjom, the Communist
checkpoint six miles east of Kae
song.
Some Technical Progress Made
While the Reds conferred with
Allied officers for three hours jand
20 minutes Tuesday, the top ~UN
negotiator, Vice Adm. C. Turner
Joy; and Air Force Maj. Gen. L.
C. Craigie, another truce delegate,
flew to Tokyo. .They conferred
withvtheir boss, Gen. Matthew B.
Ridgway.
The. official UN spokesman at
advanced headquarters, Brig. Geh.
William P. Nuckols, said “some
progress was made” on technical
questions Tuesday. But the big
issue remained:
Whether to reduce the old five
mile neutral zone around Kaesong
to a “security area” with a 3000-
yard radius, to match an equally
sized security area around Mun
san.
The Communists Tuesday pro
posed the Munsan security area
be enlarged to five miles.
This was unacceptable to the
UN command. An official release
said “this would increase the
area in which (neutrality) viola
tions could occur to about 175
square miles.” The UN plan
would provide a neutral area of
less than 20 square miles. .
Russia Backs Iran
In Oil Controversy
NEW YORK, Oct. 16—(/P) —
Russia lined up with Iran tonight
against U.N. Security Council ac
tion- in ■ the explosive Iranian-
British oil controversy and fore
cast a Soviet veto on compromise
proposals calling for resumption
of oil talks.
Semyon K. Tsarapkin, acting
Soviet delegate, lashed out at any
Security Council decision in the
case _ shortly • after Iran’s aged
premier, Mohammed Mossadegh,
slammed his open hand down on
the council table and rejected a
Britjsh proposal, or the compro
mise amendments put up by In

Payments
From State
Due College
Payments to the College by
the Commonwealth were reported
yesterday to be $1,950,625 in ar
rears- of state funds due for thg
quarterly period ending Aug. 31.
The figure, given by the As
sociated Press, represents ap
proximately $9,500,000 in - pa y
ments due, to state-aided colleges,
training schools, and hospitals.
Because of the failure of the
state General Assembly to agree
on a tax bill, the College has
been forced to borrow some $4,-
000,000 from • banks in order to
carry out its obligations. The five
month-old tax battle is a result
of differing opinions in the. Gen
eral -Assembly on how to balance
Gov. John S. Fine’s two-year
tax budget which calls for $l,-
220,000,000.
The legislature is now in recess
until Dec. 10.
Payments will be made as soon
as the appropriations are provid
ed by the legislature, according
to officials in the auditor gen
eral’s office. The office must ap
prove all payments.
Fine's Request
For Tax Probe
Draws Fire
HARRISBURG, Oct. 16—(A>)—
Gov. John S. Fine’s request that
four state-aided colleges study
the Commonwealth’s tax and rev
enue problems drew criticism
from a Democratic senator today.
Sen. Elmer J. Holland (D-Al
legheny) wrote the Governor that
Fine should have made the re
quest to what he termed “more
disinterested parties.”
Fine recently asked the Uni
versity of Pittsburgh, the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania, Temple
University, and the Pennsylvania
State College, to provide techni
cal assistance and personnel in
determining how much money the
state needs to raise from taxes
for the next two years.
Holland said “it is significant
that each one of these institu
tions receives financial support
from the state, therefore, it can
be said with propriety that each
of these institutions is an inter
ested party in any deliberations
with respect to state taxes.”
Twenty-one states have okayed
a substitute for the 16th amend
ment which would limit the fed
eral tax rate to 25% of the indi
vidual or corporation.

Prexy Speaks
To T' Group
To live in peace, other nations,
races, and cultures must be un
derstood, President Milton S.
Eisenhower told a group of 30
laymen and Young Men’s Chris
tian Association officials last
night at a district services com
mittee meeting of the State
YMCA.
Without such understanding,
President Eisenhower said,
agreements • are merely appease
ment. It has to be mutual under
standing with a free exchange of
ideas and persons so that each
group can see the problems of
the other and be of real mutual
aid.
The meetings, which are main
ly concerned with the work of
the YMCA in smaller towns and
rural areas, will continue with
discussions today. The sessions
held at the Nittany Lion Inn.
Dr. William G. Mather, profesr
sor of rural sociology at the Col
lege, is chairman of the meet
ings.

in the swirling engagement be

■ On the ground, U.S. and South
Korean infantry drove to within
about four miles of Kumsong,
but there ran into furious resis
tance from what appeared to be
the Reds’ main defense line.
There also was severe fighting
in eastern and western Korea.
Three Allied divisions in the
center gained about six-tenths of
a mile before being checked be
fore Kumsong, major Red road
and rail center 30 miles north of
the 38th parallel.
AP photographer Robert Schutz
on the. central front reported nine
more hills were seized by the
U.S. 24th division and the South
Korean second and sixth divi
sions in heavy fighting along the
22-mile front.
First Cavalry Attacks
The North Korean Army com
munique, broadcast by Pyongyang
radio, conceded that “the enemy,
despite heavy casualties, is push
ing northward” on the eastern
front. This apparently referred
to the drive by attacking South
Korean and American units on
lull masses between the Pukhan
river and captured Heartbreak
ridge.
In the west, the U.S. First Cav
alry division threw itself once
more against three miles of Chin
ese-held ridge positions north
west of Yonchon, some 35 miles
north of Seoul.
