Ball Says GOP
I s Planning
TV-Radio Drive
SPRINGFIELD, 111., Oct. 1 (Ac)—George Ball; national
executive director of the - V6lunteers for Stevenson, said
today the Republicans are planning a $2,000,000 "political
soap suds" campaign on television and radio to elect- Gen:
Dwight D. Eisenhower.
And Ball said the campaign will be based on a document,
"prepared for the Republican high command," stating that
Eisenhower, the GOP presiden
tial nominee, can count on only
30 "sure" electoral votes. That is
236_ short of the 266 needed to
win in November.
'Democrats Lead'
The document Ball made public
also states:
"According to the best current
data available, th e Democrats
lead the Republicans in potential
electoral strength by 180. If they
take • New York, they have an
excellent chance to get the neces
sary 267 votes to cinch the elec
tion."
Democrats
Blamed for
Chia Loss
ABOARD EISENHOWER SPE
CIAL TRAIN, Oct. 1 (?P)—Gen.
Dwight D. Eisenhower asserted
tonight that the Democrats alone
were repsonsible for the' loss of
China to the Communist world.
The Republican pre s i dential
candidate/ carrying his campaign
through Michigan, told a wildly
cheering audience in Grand Rap
ids: "The Republicans were not
taken into council on China at
all." '
Eisenhower said that the deci
sions which resulted in China
becoming the latest victim, of the
Reds were taken solely by the
Democratic officials who are con
cerned with foreign policy in
Washington.
He cited this as !`only one of
the failures" that overtook, the
foreign policy of the United States
when the bipartisan method of
formulating foreign policy was
abandoned. Vice-versa, the gen
eral said, the successes that have
been achieved by the U.S. in the
struggle against communism came
about when representatives of
both parties were fully, consulted.
As examples, he mentioned the
building of the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization and the bol
stering -of Turkey, Greece and
other countries that have been
menaced by the Soviet Union.
Gamblers Use
Clubs as Front
WASHINGTON, Oct. 1 (M—The
Internal Revenue Bureau warned
clubs and fraternal • societies to
day against falling for a new gam
blers' scheme to use non-profit
organizations as a front to beat
the federal wagering tax.
Tax officials disclosed at a news
conference that they have come
upon at least a dozen cases of
the sort, mostly in Indiana.
James Guthrie, acting chief of
the bureau's special racketeer in
vestigators, ' said many gamblers
went out of business or went
underground after last November
when_the government put a ten
per cent tax on wagers and a $5O
occupational tax on the bet takers.
He added that so far as tax
agents know, no churches or col
lege fraternities have become in
volved.

500 Chinese. Stage
Big Riot on Cheju
CHEJU ISLAND, Korea, Oct. 1 (R)—Five hundred Red Chinese
prisoners unleashed their first big riot on their "independence day"
yesterday and one-third of them were cut down in a melee with
U.S. guards.
The first 'official estimate of 45 Red prisoners killed and 120
wounded marked the riot as the second most deadly in. the long
and bloody' history of Communist
prisoner violence in Korea.
Two of the 80 U.S. soldiers who
rushed into the tumultuous com
pound were wounded slightly as
they met the rock-throwing, club
swingirig Chinese with rifle fire
and bayonets.
The prisoners hurled stones
from • behind the walls of a bar
racks they were building, and met
the soldiers in the open with clubs,
barbed wire flails and tent poles—
the standard weapons the Red
prisoners used before.
First Chinese Ado
A board Of Army officers flew
to Cheju Island to begin an in
vestigation.
It was the first time any of the
6400 Chinese Communist die , -hard
prisoners had started any serious
trouble. All the other violence
here and on Koje Island, 125 miles
to .the northeast, was staged by
Korean Reds.
Fighting broke out about 7:30
a.m. when American guards went
to Compound 7 of POW Camp No.
34 to form work details.
Reds Ordered To Stop
Prisoners with their makeshift
arms were milling around, sing
ing defiantly and refusing to go
on work detail. Presumably they
were celebrating the third anni
versary of the establishing of the
Communist regime in China.
Guards called the camp com
mander, Col. Richard D. Boerem
of Pittsburg, Calif., who broad
cast an order over a loudspeaker
ordering the Reds• to Stop the dem
onstration.
The Communist diehards, paid
of a total .of 6400 Chinese Reds
quartered around Cheju City, ig
nored the order.
Then the U.S. infantrymen en
tered the compound, firing their
guns, and tangled with the shout
ing Reds.
Dig Up a Date
For Jitterybugging
OJAI, Calif., Oct. 1 (R)—T h e
Cemetery Drag had brief popular
ity but it gave way today to the
Superior Court Lowdown.
Judge Walter J. Fourt. told 23
teenagers and 15 parents that
dancing in the moonlight in the
cemetery must cease.
The youngsters, rounded up by
police, said they went in for tomb
stone tangos and some beer-drink
ing just as a lark.
The judge said he'd help im
prove recreation facilities in town,
but "a repitition of this incident
is strictly out."
HST Says
U.S. Is Well
04f Today .
SPOKANE, Wash., Oct. 1 (AP)—
President Truman said tonight
that in spite of "stale Republican
lies" about high prices and taxes
the American people are better
off than ever before.
And he said the nation will risk
losing its "hard-won system of
prosperity and security" if it puts
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower and
Republicans who "can't think be
yond their own pocketbooks" in
power at next month's election.
"I am sorry to see that abject
surrender of their presidential
candidate to the reactionary, vin
dictive wing of the old guard,"
Truman said, adding:
"Neither the Republican plat
form nor their candidate reveals
the slightest understanding of the
basis of our prosperity or how to
go about preserving it."
Truman kept up the running
fire against Eisenhower in a series
reaching Spokane. He told a
crowd of 2000 at Eureka, Mont.:
"If y6u like Ike as much as I
like Ike, you'll send him back to
the Army.
With obvious relish Truman
quoted Eisenhower's acceptance
speech at the GOP convention in
Chicago, in which the general
said this country has become "the
mightiest temporal power and the
mightiest spiritual force on earth."
Calling this "an unconscious
tribute to the Democratic party,"
Truman said Eisenhower doesn't
talk that way since "the special
interests got control of him."
