Re • s Bare Might
In Korea, Germany
'Human Sea'
Reds Attack
For 2d Night
SEOUL, Korea (P) Chinese
Red infantry assaults, pounding in
"human sea" waves for the sec
ond straight night, breached Al
lied hill defenses guarding Chor
won on the Korean Western Front
early today.
Seven outlying hill positions
along the 100 riffles of blazing bat
tle line fell at the first onslaught
by 15,000 Chinese in the biggest
Red attacks, in more than a year,
according to reports at Eighth
Army Headquarters.
Allied infantrymen counter-at-
tacked early today in an effort to
seal off the Chinese penetration
into Allied positions on White
Horse Mountain. This height,
northwest of •Chorwon, is one of
two commanding the approaches
to the main road to Seoul.
Dominate Iron Triangle
The Reds directed the main
weight of their limited offensive
at White Horse and nearby Ar
rowhead Ridges, which anchor
the Chorwon pivot of the main
Allied lines. Tanks and roaring
artillery barrages supported the
surging Reds.
The hill positions dominate the
western edge of the old Commu
nist Iron Triangle, some 20 miles
north of the 38th Parallel.
Allied planes throughout the
battle were stacked up waiting
their turn to blast the enemy in
the west.
Reds Lose 1300
Hundreds of dead Chinese lit
tered the battlefields.
Preliminary • estimates placed
Red losses at 1300 dead on White
Horse and neighboring Arrow
head Ridge, and hundred's more
elsewhere along the front. Allied
casualties Were not given.
Throughout the night fighting,
Allied flare planes circled the
battlefront, lighting up the area
with an eerie glow. 826 light
bombers hit hard just behind the
Red lines.
Communist artillery fire thun
dered along the entire front. It
reached a crescendo when more
than 11,000 fell on a single Allied
division west of Chorwon, which
is 45 miles north of Seoul,
On the Eastern Front„ the Reds
forced U.N. troops off an advance
position west of the Mundung
Valley.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE; PENNSYLVANIA
Has Taft
John L. Lewis
Lewis Airs
*Apposition
To Taft, Ike
CINCINNATI - (VP) John L.
Lewis thundered disapproval of
Sen. Robert A. Taft (R-Ohio) last
night and said he couldn't see
how anyone could vote for a man
"whom Taft may lead around by
the collar."
The nearly 3000 delegates at
tending the opening sessions of
the 41st union convention of the
United Mine Workers took this as
an expression from the veteran
union leader against Gen. Dwight
D. Eisenhower, - the Republican
presidential nominee whom Taft
is supporting.
Lewis failed to mention Eisen
hower by name, however, and did
not express a preference between
the GOP standard bearer and Gov.
Adlai Stevenson of Illinois, the
Democratic nominee.
"Some more of Taft later, per
haps," Lewis promised the wildly
cheering delegates, "and those
who look through the same gun
barrel as Taft at the problems of
the laboring people and the work
ers of this country."
Lewis may follow the AFL and
CIO in coming out flatly for Ste
venson before the end of the 10-
day miners convention, the union's
first conclave in four years. It
seemed clear from what he said
previously, however, that Lewis
personally was opposed to Eisen
hower in the coming election.
A message from Gov. Steven
son, saying he was unable to at
tend the miners' convention and
expressing "personal greetings
and best wishes," was read to the
delegates.

For President
Of Soviet. Union
BERLIN ' (W)—Communist East
Germany showed a sample of its
potential armed might yesterday
for a beaming Russian, Soviet
President Nikolai M. Shvernik.
In cold, drizzly weather, a quar
ter of a million men, women and
youngsters marched past Shvernik
with fists clenched in the air and
shouting the praises of Red Rus
sia.
Scattered through the legions
were units of the new Soviet zone
armed forces, including an air
corps. _
The occasion was the third an
niversary of the Communist re
gime, known as the German Dem
ocratic Republic, which rules' the
18 million Germans living in the
area from the Elbe to the Oder.
Shvernik is the highest rank
ing Russian to visit _Berlin since
Prime Minister Stalin came here
for the Potsdam .Pact in 1945.
Shvernik arrived only Sunday
night, without previous fanfare.
His presence proved how impor
tant the Russians regard their
fledging East German satellite in
view of the current Soviet party
rally being held in Moscow. Stalin
sent greetings to the East Ger
mans.
' Army To Reach 375,000.
The German Reds lised the par
ade to display for the first time
how Russianized their new armed
forces have grown.
The People's Army, expected to
reach 375,000 men next year, was
represented by a 4000-man regi
ment in brand new uniforms.
There was nothing German about
them. The stiff shoulder boards
of the Soviet Army have now been
adopted by the East Germans.
The soft black boots of the Rus
sians were in evidence every
where. The old German peaked
cap was replaced by the Russian
visor job.

In Nationwide Talks
DETROIT (?P)—Gov. Adlai
E. Stevenson questioned last
night whether Gen. Dwight
D. Eisenhower is seriously in
terested in rooting the Reds
out of government—or only in
"scaring the American people
to get votes."
Th e Democratic presidential
nominee said in an address pre
pared for delivery at a rally in,
Masonic Temple that his GOP
rival "has offered only thunder
ing silence about a cure" for the
djsease of communism. The Dem
ocrats, he said, have a record of
fighting Communism for 20 years
with programs that were "rildl
culed and sabotaged" by the Re
pUblican Old Guard.
In a prelude to a campaign
swing into Wisconsin today, Ste
venson also bitterly scolded Wis
consin GOP Sen. Joseph McCar
thy as a noisy child who has pro
duced little but loud talk in a
controversial ca m paign against
Red penetration of government.
But it was mainly at Eisenhower
that the Illinois governor threw
a stepped up, day-long attack. He
started in at Saginaw shortly af
ter noon, accusing the general of
giving comfort to the Soviets by
calling American prosperity a war
prosperity.
HST Hits Priniiples
ABOARD TRUMAN TRAIN (JP)
—President Truman accused Gen.
Dwight Eisenhower yesterday of
betraying his life long principles
and his best friend by embracing
"moral pigmies" such as Repub
lican Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy
and Sen. William E. Jenner.
Tearing up completely his "I
like Ike, but—" approach, Tru
man voiced open contempt for Ei
senhower's support of the Wiscon
sin and Indiana senators who have
bitterly assailed former Secretary
of State George C. Marshall.
The President acknowledged he
once qualified Eisenhower for the
presidency. But he said the GOP
presidential nominee has brought
about "a great disenchantment"
and "I am now convinced that I
was absolutely wrong."
Specifically Truman charged
that Eisenhower has betrayed his
principles and his supporters by
adopting "reactionary" views on
foreign policy and national de=
fense.
"But worst of all," Truman said
in a speech prepared for a train
side crowd at Colorado Springs, is
the general's declared support for
every Republican candidate,
"whether that man is the blackest
of reactionaries, a die hard isola
tionist or even a moral scoundrel."
It was at this point that he lit
into Eisenhower for failing, the
President said, to de f end his

ABOARD 'rHE EISEN
HOWER SPECIAL (AP)—Gen.
Dwight D. Eisenhower said
yesterday "we must keep the
long nose of government out
of private business."
, Speaking before a packed house
of 5500 people in the Portland,
Ore., Civic Auditorium, Eisen
hower called for a decentraliza
tion of control over business and
the economic life of the country.
He said it is a Communist idea
that a highly centralizedgovern
ment alone can handle the eco
nomic .functions of a nation.
"Four-Dollar Word"
"They call it a dictatorship of
the proletariat." the GOP presi
dential candidate told his audi
ence.
"But to most Americans, a dic
tatorship is a dictatorship no mat
ter what four dollar word you put
behind it."
"Isn't that something," Eisen
hower exclaimed when - told that
President Truman has said the
general "betrayed every principle
about our foreign policy and na
tional defense that I thought he
believed in."
Corruption Tnternationar
He said "not now," when re-
Porters asked him• for comment.
"What about tonight?" they
asked. Eisenhower replied, "I
don't know."
Corruption in the government
of the United States, he said, has
become an international. issue,
loaded with dynamite.
He called for a change of ad
ministration to restore America's
influence abroad, and told his au
diences it will take 30 million
votes to unseat the Democrats.
This is eight million more than
the Republicans received four
years ago, when President Tru
man defeated Gov. Thomas E.
Dewey for the presidency. The
GOP polled 21,991,290 in 1948.
Both parties are expecting a
heavy vote in November, but this
was the first time Eisenhower has
said' the Republicans need 30 mil
lion to win. - He bid for support
from independents and disgrun
tled Democrats in citing this fi
gure.
The general closed a campaign
sweep through the Pacific North
west today with a series of talks
in Washington and Oregon.
