Page 6 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Thursday, September 18, 1952 ot Navy Man Commended jed the a itude of the people of Political) Notes (By Associated Press) | Taft’s 30-minute address to a police-estimated crowd of more than 2,000 in Springfield’s 2,600-seat Memorial Hall was broadcast and telecast nationwide last night. It was Taft’s first speech since the July convention defeat that embittered many of his backers. Associates described his tour as an allout attempt to swing his disappointed supporters to “Ike.” “J have come to speak for all | the Republican candidates, state, national and local,” Taft said. “Naturally, my first inteerst is na tional and the election of Eisen- hower and Nixon.” Sen. Richard Nixon of California is the GOP vice presidential nom- inee “During the campaign I expect to speak on all the issues, corrrup- tion, Communist influences in the State Department, the surrender | f of China to the Communists, the U. S. Navy, Photo CAPTAIN ALBERT ©. MOMM, USN, congratulates John N. Tucker, Photographer second class, USN, as he presents him with a letter of commendation. By ROBERT B TUCKERMAN SEOUL, Korea‘®—South Korean soldiers .drove the Chinese Com- munists from the bitterly-contested southern arm of Finger Ridge in a pre-dawn battle today The Republic of Korea (ROK) infantrymen recaptured the Central Front positions they lost nearly two weeks ago. U. N. Fighter bombers had soft- ened up the tunneled-in Commu- nists with bombs, rockets and fiery gasoline. Then two columns of South Koreans stormed the ridge | in the chill of early morning. Aided by thundering artillery fire, they ; captured it three hours later. | In Tokyo, the Navy reported five men missing and seven seriously injured when an explosion shook the U. S. Destroyer Barton Tues- day nearly 100 miles off northeast Korea. Presumably a Communist mine, probably blown far out to sea by typhoon weather, caused the waterline blast,the Navy said. U. S. B26 bombers destroyed 84 Red trucks Wednesday in a sixth | — : straight night of attacks against | | Communist supply lines, the Air Force said. It brought the six-day score to about 600 Red vehicles | destroyed. | B29 superforts hurled 100 tons of explosives at the Sopo supply de- pot, 12 miles northeast of Pyong- | yang, capital of North Korea. | The triumphant ROK assault on Finger Ridge left Chinese troops | dug in on the uncontested north- e@st end. But a U. S. Eighth Army staff | officer said ‘“‘we got back the por- | tion we wanted” — the highest | ground, Korean War and Acheson foreign policy,” Taft said. “But to my mind,” he continued, issue before the American people “there is one great fundamental in this election of 1952 It is re- sumption and continuation of prog- ress under a free American way of life ,as opposed to the alleged advances to be obtained by sur- rendering our money and our free- dom to the tender mercies of an all-powerful and arbitrary govern- ment.” “The only reason that we have any real liberty left in the United States is the independence of Con- gress shown during the past 14 years There isn’t any doubt in my mind that we have represent- ' the county against a government of plann economy, power and bureaucragy.” Referring to Eisenhower’s Demo- cratic opppnent, Gov. Adlai E. Ste- venson of Illinois,Taft said: “I can ‘tell you that if he is elected on the Democratic ticket with the support of the same people who supported President Truman he is going to be engulfed in the same totalitarian philosophy that dominates four-fifths of those who are influential in the present ad- ministration. “He cannot clean up the mess of corruption. He is a captive can- didate. He would be a captive president.” The senator recalled his state- | ment after last week’s visit with Eisenhower that their differences |were more a matter of degree than principle. “Gov. Stevenson,” he said, “‘ap- parently is disappointed to find |that Gen. Eisenhower and I agree that liberty is the basis of all fu- ture progress, that there isn’t any | basic difference in the Republican party on that belief, and that gov- ernment spending and power must be reduced. “The Republican party is a party of progress. It rejects the whole theory of socialism and big gov- ernment as reactionary and de- | structive of human liberty. “It proposes to resume progress, stimulated and assisted by govern- ment, without governmental con- trol and regulation. It promi: to reduce expenses and cut taxes.” Taft cited Eisenhower’s goal of cutting government expenditures to $70 bilion next year and to $60 billion in fiscal 1955, compared | with $85 billion proposed by Presi- | dent Truman for this fiscal year and the same next year. Taft esti- mated the move would mean a tax reduction of 13 per cent in 1954. “The hope for increased produc. ! Admit Slaying | PHOENIX, Ari. (® — A cattle | rancher has confessed the strange | killing of a Yaqui Indian woman suspected by her neighbors of be- ing a witch, Sheriff Cal Boies said today. Boies identified the rancher as | Joe S. Chaves, 42, Mesa, Ari “Sure I killed her,” Chaves was quoted as saying. “She was a witch. “She sprinkled powder on my wife back in 1942 and she started to go blind. Doctors, healers and all the others couldn’t help her.
