By ERNEST B. VACCARO WASHINGTON ® — President Truman today set Sept. 27 as the departure date for a “whistle stop” tour rivaling in intensity any single trip of his own successful campaign of 1948, Seeking votes for Adlai Stevenson now, Truman will make a major public power speech in Northwest- ern Montana Oct. 1 dedicating the Hungry Horse Dam. En route west, aides said, he will lay down a barrage of rear platform attacks on the GOP at every stop his special train makes during daylight hours. From Montana, tentative plans now call for a swing into Wash- ington, Oregon and California. And the President’s talks will continue on the way back east. The tour is expected to run from 10 to 12 days. The White House withheld any announcement of the President's itinerary until the entire schedule has been completed. Final deci- sions will have to be made by early next week in order to give Secret Service agents time to work out protective measures every- where he visits. Truman talked over his plans yesterday in an hour-long confer- ence with Stephen A. Mitchell, the Democratic national chairman picked by Gov. Stevenson after he received the party’s presidential nomination. Mitchell made it clear to report- ers afterward that there is com- plete co-ordination on campaign plans of the President and the nominee and said the trips of both were discussed at the White House meeting. The Democratic National Com- mittee will pay the expenses of the President’s Western tour, White Whit House officials said, just as it did his Labor Day trip to Mil- waukee, Because of the cost, virtually all television time blocked out by the Democrats will go to Stevenson, with probably only four or five Truman talks being given national radio network coverage. Truman agrees that money spent on tele- vision should be used to familiarize the nation’s voters with candidate Stevenson. The President will follow up his Western tour with an extensive swing into the East next month with speeches probably in New York City, Boston and other points in New England. There will be several “whistle stop” talks in Pennsylvania if they can be worked out. Truman expects to campaign right up until election day, closing his “give-em-hell” talks: in his na- tive Missouri, where he will vote at Independence. The President will lay special emphasis on a request that the voters give Stevenson a heavy Democratic majority in both houses of Congress. The idea ap- parently is to offset the effect of ome Southern Democrats voting with the Republicans on key issues. ‘The President made it clear in his Labor Day speech in Milwaukee that this was a goal. !

Rumors were floating around Broadway that the diminutive showman and his estranged swim- ming queen wife have no desire to discuss their private lives in open court. Chances of another try at an out - of - court settlement were heightened last night with reports that Supreme Court Justice James B. M. MeNally, who is handling he action, will call opposing sides into his chambers before court opens. McNally offered to mediate the case during a pre-trial hearing last June, but neither Rose nor Miss Holm took up the offer. The trial combines Miss Holm’s suit for separation with Rose’s suit for divorce—for which adultery is the only ground in New York State. Reportedly as much as half a mil- lion dollars alimony is at stake. First item on the agenda is Rose’s contention that Miss Holm’s divorce from band leader Arthur Jarrett in California in 1938 may rot be legal. If the divorce is held not legal, Rose and the swimming star never were legally married and the case would be settled with- out any requirement of a financial séttlement. Papers in the case have been sealed by the court. But some de- tails have come out in the pre- trial hearings and in word battles between the couple, who married 13 years ago. Rose, 53, lists at least five men in Miss Holm’s alleged life away from him. He also holds an affi- ' davit that purports to describe { wild parties involving Miss Holm, who is still glamorous at 38. Mrs. Dorothy Bernie, widow of maestro Ben Bernie, is allegedly named in the affidavit. Mrs. Bernie has filed a criminal libel suit against Rose in California in deny- ing the allegations. Named as the “other woman” in Miss Holm’s separation suit against Rose is blonde Joyce Matthews, twice divorced from television star Milton Berle, The so-called “War of theRoses” a razor blade in Rose’s Ziegfeld | an actress, nicked her wrists with started soon after Miss Matthews, theater apartment on July 15, 1951.

TUCKMAN SEOUL, Korea (# — Battle-hard- ened South Korean infantrymen re- captured Capitol Hill in a wild night bayonet charge and then tthrew back counterattacking Chi- nese at daybreak today. | AU. S. Eighth Army staff officer said “the ROKs (Republic of Korea troops) are on that hill to stay.”” In five days of vicious close-in fighting for the Central Front hill, ' troops of the crack Capitol Division have killed or wounded at least 2,300 Chinese, the Eighth Army es- timated. That is nearly the equiv- alent of a Red regiment. Fighting for the hill has pro- duced the heaviest Communist ar- tillery barrages of the war. Gen. James A. Van Fleet, Eighth Atmy’ commander, said at the front the shelling amazed him and “indicates they (Reds) have ! enough supplies and ammunition at the front.” The U. S. Fifth Air Force said fighter-bomber pilots last night knocked out 100 Communist supply trucks, the highest score since early June. Fifth Air Force pilots helped soften Chinese defenses before the {Koreans began their victorious { fight up the slopes of Capitol Hill. The Air Force said 70 individual flights were made over the hill by fighter bombers, raking the Chinese with machine gun fire, bombs and flaming jellied gaso- line. U.N. artillery then took over and pounded the hill crest and Red approach routes with a murderous barrage. South Korean infantrymen at- tacked at 7:55 p.m. The going was tough. Despite the air attacks and the thunderous U. N. artillery bar- Tage, the Reds sent shells screm- ing against the advancing Koreans. Sturdy Korean riflemen inched their way up the rocky slope and in a final charge with bayonets cleaned out the last of the Chinese on the crest at 11:50 p.m. The Chinese regrouped for a counterattack but artillery chopped up three companies as they massed for an assault. Another company that charged was beaten back. The Eighth Army estimated the Reds suffered 1,200 casualties yes- were listed as casualties by the Eighth Army in earlier fighting for the hill. The fighting for the hill began Saturday when the Chinese seized the peak in a quick thrust | and beat back five Korean coun- ter-attacks, K.W.

Gen. Mohammed Naguib have okayed Army - backed measures cutting up the nation’s big landed estates and reorganizing political Parties with the eventual aim of dissolving those now existing. The 51-year-old Army command- er’s new government announced after a 9% hour session — long- est in Egyptian history—that it had approved legislation limiting own- ership of arable land to 200 acres per person. In a statement issued after the meeting, Naguib described the leg- islation as “the first step towards rebuilding Egypt’s social and eco- nomic structure.” The powerful Army chieftain, who became sole ruler of Egypt by taking over the premiership Sun- day following the resignation of Premier Aly Maher, added more weight to his already extensive au- thority today. A royal decree, issued by the authority of the Regency Council functioning for the infant King Fuad II, named Naguib military governor of Egypt under the mar- tial law proclaimed following the Jan. 26 fire riots in Cairo. Naguib also heads the War and Navy Ministries in his own Cabinet and is commander-in-chief of the armed forces. He led the Army coup which ousted King Farouk July 26. Cabinet today, calls for expropria- tion of all land above 200 acres under single ownership within five years. One fifth of the total is to be taken over each year. Other provisions include: Expropriated landowners will be entitled to pensions amounting to ten times the rental value of their land. These pensions will be pay- able by government bills over 30 years. Landowners:~however, also are given the right to sell their lands before they are taken over by the government. The price must not exceed 10 times its rental value, | Political Notes By The Associated Press Sen. Joseph R.
