SATURDAY, OCTOBER Z 5, 1952 Ike, if Winner, To Visit Korea DETROIT, Oct. ,24 (/P) Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower pledged tonight that he will go,- to Korea himself in an effort to-end the war if he is elected president. The Republican presidential candidate, in a speech prepared for delivery in Detroit, said' one of the first jobs of a new admin istration must be to bring a close to the conflict that has been rag ing since June of 1950. And he declared: “That job requires a personal trip to Korea. I shall make that trip. Only in that way could I learn how best to serve the American l people in the cause of peace. ■ / s • “I shall go to Korea.” Eisenhower placed full respon sibility for the war on the Tru man administration. He said without naming either the Presi dent or Secretary of State Dean Acheson—that they ignored re peated warnings and that they assured inquiring .senators that the South Koreans-could defend themselves alone. This was possibly the strongest! speech Eisenhower has made, al though he has discussed foreign policy in major speeches and in whistle stops in all parts 1 of the country. He said the war was not inevi table. It resulted, the general added, “from a collapse of our political defenses.” In reviewing events leading up to the war, Eisenhower cited tes timony from Congress in .. 1949 and he quoted from the famous report written by Lt. Gen. Albert Wedemeyer in 1947, but sup pressed for more than a year.. Eisenhower said a great error was made when American troops were pulled out of Korea. He recalled that Gen. Wedemeyer 'returned from the Orient in Sep tember, 1947. Eisenhower said Wedemeyer submitted this warn ing in his report: “The withdrawal of American military forces from Korea would . . . result in the occupation of . Southern Korea by either So viet troops, ~or. as seems more likely, by the Korean military units trained under Soviet aus pices in North Korea.” UN Forces Halted Short Of Hill Top SEOUL, Saturday, Oct. 25 (JP) —Chinese Communists surged out of a maze 1 of underground forti fications and hurled back the U.S. Seventh Division which had clawed within 30 'yards of the crest of nearby Pike’s Peak—last Red stronghold on bloody Tri angle Hill. A hail of machine gun and mor tar fire forced the Americans back to their main positions. The see-saw battle on the Cen tral Front, north of Kumhwa, en tered its 12th day with battered Reds fighting furiously to retain their last footholds on the two heights. Desperate fighting also was un derway at Iron Horse Mountain, less than 20 miles west of Tri angle Hill. South Korean Ninth Division troops there clung to the south slope only 40 yards away from the Chinese on the north side/ Intense Allied and Communist shelling made the crest of Iron Horse a no-man’s land, the Eighth Army said. On the 'Western Front, Allied troops pushed back to the top of Little Gibraltar Hill early yester :ay after yielding the position aind jome prisoners in a strong Red attack Thursday.

Stevenson said tonight that Dwight D. Eisenhower’s crusade for the presidency has collapsed and that the general has'taken “unto himself men so objectionable he cannot bring himself to mention their names.” Stevenson, the Democratic nom inee for the White House, said in an address prepared for delivery at a rally at the Rensselaer Poly technic Institute Field House: “He —Eisenhower—has endorsed the die hard enemies of social pro gress. He embraced these men, one by one, and demanded that the American people send them to the Senate of the United States.” Stevenson’s sharp criticism of Eisenhower came at the end of a“ day-long whistle stop campaign across upper New York state from Niagara Falls to Albany, and then on to Troy. At Rochester, N.Y., today the Illinois governor also cut loose at Eisenhower, accusing him of ad vocating a slick Korean War policy which Stevenson . said would lead to Munich-like ap peasement in the Far East and probably touch off World War 111. In tonight’s address, Stevenson said that when Eisenhower was nominated he said he was going to cast out of the Republican fold ‘quack doctors,’ ‘fear mongers’ and ‘bare faced looters.’ Then, Stevenson said: “I mention these words because the day before yesterday, the Re publican candidate announced vir tuously that he was, in his words, ‘leaving to others the job of mud slinging and name calling.’ ” Stevenson said that as time went on, “the crusader who had spoken of casting 'out evil men began to take unto himself men so objectionable that he cannot bring himself to mention their names.” The governor himself mentioned no names in making the state ment, but he went on to say that Eisenhower has “endorsed the slanderers” of Gen. George C. Marshall. Stevenson. has made o it clear during the campaign that such assertions by him allude to GOP Sens. William E. Jenner of In diana and Joseph R. McCarthy of Wisconsin.
