Delaney because he was forced to stand trial .in "the hostile atmosphere engendered by all the pre-trial publicity." The 58-year-old former collec tor was convicted in January of accepting bribes and ' falsifying tax liens. He was given a two year, sentence and fined $10,500. The decision of the Court of Appeals leaves it to the Attorney General whether a new trial will be ordered. In Washington. Atty. Gen. McGranery said: - "We are waiting for a copy of the opinion. Until we see the opinion and analyze it, we will not make our decision." Delaney, out on $2500 bail, said: "This news overjoys me. I never did a criminal act in my life. I welcome a new trial." ' The publicity, which preceded the trial in Boston, came in part from newspaper co ve r age of hearings in Washington by a con gressional su b - committee. The conduct of. the deposed collector and numerous accusations against him were heard by the committee after his -indictment. Today'S opinion was written by Judge Calvert Magruder and con curred in by Judges Peter Wood bury and John P. Hartigan. 'lke' Will Oust -Acheson -- Taft LAPORTE, Ind. (IP) —Sen. Rob ert A. Taft declared yesterday he is certain Dwight D. Eisen hower, who beat him for the Republican presidential nomina tion, "will get rid of" Secretary of State Dean Achesori. Taft made the statement while urging the election of Eisenhower and Sen. William E. Jenner of Indiana. Taft was one of half dozen Republican senators who spoke , throughout Indiana in "Bill Jen ner for Senator" programs. The Ohioan said he thought Eisenhower should "have_ a Re , publican Congress so we can work out an affirmative program for the good of America." "Mr. Truman and Acheson as sert they have exclusive right to run foreign policy and in secret," said Taft. "They assert the right to send American soldiers any where in. the world." Taft swung at President Tru man, whom, he said, "is still campaining against the Hoover depression." 'Birdie' to Endorse t Candidate by Nov. NEW YORK (W)—Publisher Robert R. "Birdie" McCormick of the " Chicago Tribune today said he will editorially endorse a pres „idential candidate before Nov. 4. ti McCormick was on his way to New Haven, Conn., for, a reunion of the class of 1903 at Yale. McCorthick, said the Republi can Presidential candidate, Dwight D. Eisenhower, wa s making a "very • surprisingly good” cam paign to date. He • told - newsmen 'his plans for a third major politi val party will remain unchanged if Eisenhower is elected. "I want to see what he will do as president," he added. Asked -if. he would predict vic tory for Eisenhower. McCormick "He is very strong • and will carry the ltifidVvest. I can't speak about the West or the' rest' of kAhe nation." , on from correspondents covering his campaign, about whether he' would make public "your income tax or financial statement giving substantially the same informa -1 ton," the general answered: "Of course. If anyone is inter ested they can . have the report as soon as .it's complete. It's virtual ly all a matter of public record anyway." The general's press secretary, who read Eisenhower's reply, was asked if he knew when the report would be ready. He said he had nothing to add to what Eisen hower said. Statement Cdntrasts The correspondents' question contained the phrase "make pub lic before the election." Eisenhower's affirmative state ment today contrasted with what he said on the same subject in a lounge car conversation with cor respondents. At that time, he put his remarks off the record, but in dicated he-did not intend to make a public statement on his finances. In that Sunday conversation, Ei senhower said: "I' don't think I'm going to do anything about it. So far, I don't see any reason for making it pub lic. Everyone knows about that book 'Crusade in Europe'—his war memoirs. The figures were all printed on it. I wrote the Internal Revenue Bureau about it and asked what I could do. They gave me several avenues, and I chose one. That's all a matter of record. Hasn't Dadded "I've had lots of letters on the question and not one says I ought to make a statement. What's more, I don't see why I should dance to the other fellow's tune. "I haven't decided but as of now I don't think I'll do anything about it." In New • York Sept. 29, James C. Hagerty, Eisenhower's press sec retary, had said he believed the general would make a report on Eisenhower's perSonal finances. Correspondents reminded Eisen hower of that statement : in the Sunday discussion and he replied: "It can't help what •Hagerty told you." Nixon Poses Question When pressed' for' a publishable statement, he said—as he got up and left_ the lounge car—" No. I wouldn't- want you to say any thing abbut thig at all.". The whole question arose after Sen. Richard M. Nixon, Eisen hower's GOP running mate, made his nationally televised statement on the $lB,OOO -non-official ex pense fund. Gov. Adlai Stevenson, Democratic presidential candidate, made two public statements, one on a fund he used for bolstering the salaries of state employes in Illinois, and . another on his • per sonal income and taxes since 1942. Sen. John Sparkman ,'of Ala- 1 bama, Stevenson's vice presiden tial candidate, then climbed in with a public declaration of his financial position. It has been reported that Eisen hower received a total of $1,000;- 000 for the publication of his war memoirs. The Treasury depart ment ruled that he might -pay taxes on this 'under the capital gains clauses, and not as general income. .This would amount to about 25 per cent 'of the total. Living Cost Rises STATE COLLEGE (/P.)—A busi ness research bureau - survey of Pennsylvania shows that the cost of -living is up - 13 per cent since the outbreak of the Korean fight ing.

RESULTS USE COLLEGIAN CLASSIFIEDS 'rill DAILY COLLEC6IAN, STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA Democrat Hits GOP Promises HUNTINGDON (?P)—The Demo cratic candidate for state treasur er last night accused Pennsylvania Republicans of making promises "only .to be broken" and making broken promises "a fine art." State Sen. George M. Leader leveled the charges at a rally 'here and offered as evidence five "promises" made by state• Repub licans in 1950 which Leader con tends were pot kept. "A look at the Republican plat form for 1950 when Gov. John S. Fine was elected is all that is needed to prove this," Leader told a rally. The five "promises" he mention .?.d were: ."strict economics and no new taxes," a tate fair employ ment practices act, a state con vention' for a new state constitu ion, a streamlined state 'govern ment, and a re-apportionment of state legislative •districts. "This it the record," Leader continued: "An old record of Republican promises made only to be broken. For unabashed cynicism it is a record almost without equal. "Take the matter of a state in come tax. What happened to it? "This pet project of Gov. Fine was forced through the Republi can house at Harrisburg on second trial and was defeated in the State Senate only because of the - Until•- ing efforts of the Deinocratic min ority • aided by a few dissident Republicans." Speaks at !leading While Loader attacked the GOP program, Miss Genevieve Blatt, 2eviewed the record of Democrats on a national level as one "which nst only Democrats but all Ameri cans may well be proud." 'Speaking at Reading, the Demo cratic nominee for auditor general listed a host of benefits which she believed has been the result of DemocratiC poliCy in the last 20 years. "Twenty years of Democratic lf. - 2ade.rshilD hate given the nation the highest living standard the world has ever known . . .

Fine Attacks Traffic Deaths ATLANTIC CITY (W) Gov. John /S. Fine of Pennsylvania yesterday, declared — there are "al together, too many" traffic deaths on - the Pennsylvania Turnpike. Although he gave no figures, the governor told a Meeting of the Pennsylvania Automotive Associ ation that the picture regarding turnpike deaths "is dark and omi nous." He continued: "We must come up with a solu tion to the problem of turnpike fatalities. We do not intend to let this dream highway become night mare avenue:" He said,: an intensive study is being made to promote safety on the big. toll highway which stretches from the Ohio border to the ouLtskirts of Philadelphia. Fine' also said traffic safety would be helped if all states re quired auto inspections that would take obsolete and unsafe cars off the highway.

Stevenson invaded the Far South tonight with a no-compromise stand on ticklish civil rights and tidelands oil issues and an attack on what fie termed the "suicidal foreign trade fanaticism" of the GOP. The Democratic presidential nominee—the first ever to cam paign deep in Dixie—stood pat on the Democratic civil rights plat form and said he believed a settle ment fair to both the states and federal government can be work ed out on tidelands oil Stevenson, Tackles Civil Stevenson flew into politically touch and go Louisiana after a mid-day campaign in Oklahoma. Tackles Hot Issues Stevenson told the Sooners he was willing to let the election be decided on the issue of peace be cause "the Democratic p art y knows a lot more" about the road to it than the: GOP. Then, in an address prepared for delivery at a Democratic rally here at Beauregard Square, the Il linois governor tackled two of the hbttest issues in the South, while holding out the contention that Dixie has reached a "Pike's Peak" bf growth and well .being under Democratic administration. And here in a great port city, with its ebb and flow of world commerce, he whaled away at the GOP as a party that has always been for high tariffs and quotas. He raid a,blight would descend on New Orleans if the view of Sen. Robert A. Taft of Ohio against reciprocal trade agreements were to prevail. May Condemn Nation The GOP position on foreign trade, Stevenson contended, plays into the hands of the Soviets. "I say to you with the utmost conviction," he said, "that if we follow the suicidal foreign trade fanaticism of the Republican par ty, we may condemn this nation to isolation and destruction." Stalin, he said, proposes to con quer this country, not by arms, 'but by taking advantage of what he believes to be our stupidity." Right at the start, the Illinois governor pitched in on civil rights with the statement that "I stand on the Democratic platform." The platform pledges the party to "continue to eradicate discrimin ation based on race, religion, or national origin." Mentioned Civil Rights , "I have only one observation to make on this subject; . one that must sadden you as it saddens me. It is that, after two thousand years of Christianity, we need dis cuss it at all." Eisenhower also mentioned civil rights in a speech in Los Angeles last night, saying "there can be no second-class Americans except as a result of second-rate Ameri canism." He called for equality of opportunity and an end to segre gation in Washington and every where else in federal government. Stevenson dug in at length on the tough question of oil rich sub merged lands lying off the coasts of such states as Louisiana, Tex as and California. He re-affirmed a stand which already has cost him the backing of Gov. Allan Shivers of Texas. Gov. Robert Kennon of Louisiana is against him, too. system of motor vehicle inspec tion," he stated. The . governor proposed that lo cal communities adopt laws pena lizing pedestrians who disobey traffic regulations and traffic of ficers.

Arthur Rank Presentation COLOR BY TECHNICOLOR Peak Clash Rages for Fifth way SEOUL (JP)—The bloody, inde c:sive battle of White Horse Mountain on the Korean Western Front today raged into its, fifth day with the Chinese Reds ready to throw 16,000 fresh troops into the struggle. Never-say-die South Korean infantrymen battled back to with in 150 yards of its crest under terce Chinese Red artillery and mortar fire. Ramon was falling, making pro gress still more difficult. The height, guarding the ap proaches to the Chorwon Valley, on one of the main invasion routes to Seoul. changed - hands more than a score of times since Monday, and seven times on Fri day alone. It was the fiercest ac tion in more than a year. Wild hand-to-hand fighting in pitch darkness late Friday tum bled the South Korean Ninth Di vision troops from the crest. They reformed and launched a counter attack early today. Front reports said the Chinese Reds massed 16,000 fresh men— two division s—within "easy striking range'' just north of the mountain. Intelligence officers reported the Red reinforceinents were in a position to be thrown into the fight if the Communists ordered. Allied an d Communist tanks dueled on the lower slopes. Allied planes 'dropped flares to light up the eerie battle scene.' Fighting, continued Friday at several other points on- the 155 mile front, but was dwarfed by the action at White Horse. The U.S. Eighth Army reported Allied troops regained control of Big Nori Hill, eight miles northwest of Yonchon. It was one of seven outpost hills overrun when 15,000 Chinese Reds launched their big drive Monday night. Big Nori is lers than eight miles southwest of Chorwon, and now a pivotal U.N. defense point near which the White Horse battle blazes. Fighter bombers concentrated their blows on the White Horse hill sector. They blasted Red bunkers an d artillery positions with bombs, rockets, and jellied gasoline.
