B-29 Superforts returned to Pyong- yang and pounded that Commie North Korean capital with more than 100 tons of bombs. Their fly- by-night partners, twin-engined B26s, ranged over the Red highway network and reported 126 Red trucks destroyed. It was the big- gest bag since May and the fourth straight night pilots reported do- struction of more than 100 Red trucks. Ground fighting tapered off along the’ 155-mile battlefront with only a few minor Red probes reported The B29s hit a supply area in Pyongyang without opposition. The bombers, based in Okinawa and | Japan, flew over heavy clouds and j aimed their bombs wih electronic | devices. Aerial reconnaissance had indi- | cated heavy truck traffic in the | target area and a large buildup of | war supplies for the front. Other B26s hit a supply area at Pukchong on the East Coast. The U.S. Eighth Army said Chi- nese Reds probed the Bunker Hill area in Western Korea twice Tues- day morning, then withdrew after a brief fight Red casualties for the week end- ed Sunday were announced as 3,743, the highest figure since Jan- uary. South Korean troops fighting around Capitol Hill and Finger Ridge in the central sector ac counted for more than half the Red toll, the Army said.

The new agreement, announced here by the Soviet news agency Tass, came at the conclusion of top-level Soviet-Chinese talks which have been going on here since Aug. 17. The Tass announcement included three important points: 1. The new agreement on Port Arthur, which was occupied by Soviet forces at the end of World War II. Under the 30-year Russian- chinese treaty of friendship signed in Moscow on Feb. 14, 1950, the Soviets agreed to get out of Port Arthur by the end of 1952. In a note published today Red China’s Premier and Foreign Minister Chou En-lai asked the Soviets to stay because in the absence of the Japanese peace treaty with the Communist Powers, ‘“condi- tions have arisen dangerous for peace and favorable for a reitera- tion of Japanese aggression.” 2. A communique said that “important political and economic questions concerning the relations” between the two countries were discussed. Details were not given. | Under the 1950 pact, Russia grant- ed China 300 million dollars in credits toward the purchase of materials and equipment from the Soviet Union. Western observers had suggested that China probably was asking for additional aid be- cause of expenses in the Korean War. 3. Return of the Changchun Railway by the end of 1952, as provided in the 1950 agreement. A separate communique said the railway would be returned to full Chinese administration by the end of this year, without any Russian payment of compensation for its use. A mixed Soviet-Chinese com- mission will handle details of the hand-over. There was no reference to the port and rail center of .Darien, miles east of Port Arthur. The 195 treaty provided that the future of this city (and presumably of Rus- sia’s rigts there) would be con- sidered after the signing of a Japanese Peace Treaty. The lack of any mention of Darien appar- | ently means the two nations are standing pat on this understanding. The city, meanwhile, has been under Chinese administration The cimmunique said the nego- | tiations had been Prime Minister Minister Andrei Vishins and Trade Minister P. N. Kum the Soviets.

Eisenhower For Opposing Compulsory Health Insurance | By ERNEST B. VACCARO PHILADELPHIA (?— President Truman today described opponents | of compulsory medical insurance— they include Gen. Dwight D. Eisen- hower—as ‘‘pullbacks” who want to “go back to the horse and buggy | days.”” The President declared “‘is is a | job for all of to bring medical | and health services to the people at a price they can afford to pay. “I would not call such a good thing ‘socialism’, Truman said I would call it a goal of enterprize American enterprise.” | Truman didn’t mention the Re- publican presidential nominee by name in a speech prepared for a jluncheon of the American Hospi- tal Association in Convention Hall. But he quoted language used by Eisenhower in New York Sunday opposing Truman’s medical insur- | ance plan. Eisenhower advocated, among other steps, “‘locally admin- istered indigent medical care pro- grams. * Truman came here by train from Washington for the address, billed by the White House as ‘‘non-po- | litical.” While he didn’t mention compul- sory medical insurance in so many words today, he declared: “You can’t make the best mod- }ern medicine available to every- body—as it should be—unless there is some way for people to pay for Truman’s national health pro- | gram, embracing pre-payment of | medical, hospital, laboratory and leven some dental costs by in- creases in social security pay- ments, has kept a controversy go- ing between him and the American Medical Association (AMA) for seven years. Eisenhower called it cine.” The President told the hospital group that good health is of ‘first jimportance” to he general wel- | fare, and added: “That is why, ever since I have been president, I have recommend- | ed programs which I believe will provide better medical and health services for all our people.” Asserting some groups have been | strongly against them, he said they are the ones who “want to pull back.”’ He said he has constantly | asked the “pullbacks” to offer a |plan of their own but they want to “stand still” or ‘even move | backward.” “Even now they seem to be ad- |a move toward “‘socialized medi- | vocating the amazing proposition ing to do with health except for ‘locally administesed indigent med- ical care programs,” Truman con- tinued. “That’s about like saying we don’t need any form of social se- curity except for the County poor- house. These people really want to go back to the horse and buggy days.” In his New York statement, Gen. Eisenhower contended a federal system of health insurance would check the progress of American medicine and give ‘regimented, assembly-line treatment” to pa- tients. Eisenhower added: American medicine outstripped the world on a voluntary basis and on that basis, plus voluntary insur- ance plans, together with locally administered indigent medical care programs for those unable to par- ticipate—the needs of Americans will most adequately be met.” Truman was already on record as saying that if opponents of com- pulsory medical insurance can come forward with a better plan, or even one almost as good, he will go along with it A presidentially appointed com- mission, headed by Dr. Paul B. Magnuson, former medical direc tor of the Veterans Administra- | tion, is now making study of total health requirements thority to make recommendations on federal health insurance and all other health matters | Truman said he did not know what the commission will recom- ‘eare of sick pe that government should have noth- | ; make | ple just by putting is a shell and a hospital until it .
