VOL. 52, No. 51 Red-Attao_l4 Break Lulle In -Korai • ~-.• SEOUL, Korea, Thursday, Nov. 29—(2P)—Two Communist attacks on the eastern front last night broke the strange gu l let that had settled across the -145 miles of frozen Korean battle front. _The Eighth Army said Allied troops hurled back the assaults by mid night. Field dispatches said Allied troops had received orders to fire only if attacked. However, an Allied headquar ters spokesman in Tokyo said no cease-fire order "has been .given by the Eighth Army or anybody else." In Key West, Fla., President Truman's spokesman denied Ko- rea reports that - the order had come from the highest source, pos sibly the White House. The Reds' attacked in, the high mountains northwest of Yanggu. They hit first in battalion strength and then attacked with a regi ment. The battle lasted eight hours. Elsewhere, from coast - to coast, there was hardly a shot fired in anger save for occasional artil lery rounds. An Allied briefing officer said today, "during the past 24 hours the• enemy has acted in two ways —depending on where he was— both as if he thought the war was over, and as' if he didn't think the war was over." He reported only one minor pa trol action along the whole west ern front. A Third Division officer said "we didn't fire a round of artil lery last night for the first time since I can remember, and I came here last November.' Allied headquarters said no order to stop fighting had been issued.

Gentzel Building fire must face. - ' Although all of the 19 men caught in the blaze ha\re - found some, sort of temporary housing, most of them are "desperately in need of a permanent place to live," according to Harry . Pinch, a graduate student in chemistry, and one of the men who was living •in the building, Five of the men are now housed in the Nittany-Pollock area, and the rest are living either at fra ternity houses or with friends in town. • Many Books Destroyed Since the loss or ,damage of Clothing and other-personal Reins will not be covered by insurance for the building, each• man is faced with the problem of replac ing them on •their own. Some of them have discovered that insur ance held by their families may cover some of the loss, but even that will only take tare of a frac tion of the total. In addition _to the irreplaceable notes. lost in the fire,' the value of . the books which were des troyed is great. Most of those living in the building at the time of the fire were graduate students with large collections of books. Library Books Insured • Paul O'Brien, the student who was- asleep at ~ the time of the blaze, - is in the infirmary re covering from smoke inhalation and bruises received when he escaped . from the building. He said that even though he had lost a great deal, he was ."thank ful that" he got out in one piece." He expects to be released - in a day or two, and will-then , begin to straighten out his affairs as the other men are attempting to do. - The only bright note in the whole situation is the 'fact that the large number of library books destroyed by the fire are insured.

Wage,and•price controls must be gotten rid of as soon as produCtiOn reaches the point where military and civilian de mands can be satisfied, he said, if the nation is to keep a free economy. The slight; graying, Economic Stabilizer said the country is pro ducing armaments and putting money into 'foreign aid, - anth,there are not'• enough consumer goods for civilians•.to .buy. According to Johnston, if more goods cannot be produced, there are 'three al ternatives:- 1. Take away additional net in come by taxes. 2. Take away money, by, say ings. 3.•A110w the. prices of goods 'to rise. to the- purchasing power of the people.. The American people, he said, can help get rid of controls by using self-restraint and sel-dis cipline. He cautioned people against buying everything they could and against asking for wage increases beyond th e formula, and advocated buying cheaper goods. Since the • wage-price freeze in January, the cost of living has gone up about two percent; John ston said. He called this a "re markable record of stability." Al though not due entirely to the freeze, he. said, 'the public got a sense, of security: - Congress has not ' acted ade quately to ' maintain economic stability, he said, as it has not given the _Wage Stabilization Board 'the necessary tools for en forcement. ' The nation does need controls now, however, he said. If controls were removed the price of metals would skyrocket. The price of steel and' petredeum products would also' go up. Wages would rise -appreciably in key, defense industries, and .as expenditures accelerated, the country would see inflation - assert• itself. John ' ston said that the public would have to do, without if this country is -to rearm and become strong. We won't have - to give up much, he • asserted—just haye a little less jam on our buttered toast.
