Page 8 Reds Knock U. N. Troops Off Hill By GEORGE A. McARTHUR SEOUL, Korea (®—North Korean Reds knocked U. N, troops off a tugged peak northeast of the Punchbowl today as the Commu- nists shifted their ground assaults from the Western to the Eastern Front. Allied warplanes continued their day and night pounding of Red targets. U. S. Sabre jets, flying protective cover for Allied fighter- bombers, destroyed four MIG15s and damaged seven Sunday, the U, S. Fifth Air Force said. The air battles produced Amer- ica’s 20th jet ace, Capt. Robinson Risner of Oklahoma City and faised the record September bag of MIGs to 51 destroyed, three Probably destroyed and 49 dam- aged, Maj. Frederick C. Blesse, top jet ace in Korea with eight MIGs, says pilots set the new record be- | cause “we have run into MIGs almost every mission this month.” He disclaimed knowledge of any w “gimmick” designed to im- Prove the Sabre’s performance. It was announced in Washington Fecently that a new device would soon be tried out on the Sabres in Korea, but Blesse told a news conference, “I haven’t used any- thing on my aircraft that I didn’t have on my first mission.” A top Air Force spokesman said, however, that a “new gimmick” was in the theater but he would not confirm or deny that it was actually being used. The infantry battles along the Eastern Front marked a change of pace for the Reds. In recent weeks they have concentrated nearly all their efforts in the West. The Communists poured heavy mortar and artillery fire on the U. N. defenders and seized the Crest of the peak in a pre-dawn attacking Allied troops battled up the southern slope to within a few hundred’ yards of the top this afternoon. On the Central Front, Chinese Reds failed in another attempt to capture a hotly contested knob on Finger Ridge. Two full companies of Chinese reeled back under a pun- ishing Allied artillery barrage. Smaller probes and patrols flared all along the 155-mile battlefront. Old Baldy and Kelly Hill, blood- soaked friction spots on the West- ern Front, were uneasily quiet. Battle-hardened veterans of the U. S. 2nd Division recaptured Old Baldy early Sunday. By nightfall the Americans reported only light | harassing fire from the Reds. For every ton of iron produced in a blast furnace, about 4 1-2 tons "of air are used. THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Monday, September 22, 1952 THE WORLD TSDAY By JAMES MARLOW WASHINGTON — Sen. Nixon might not be in his present situa tion—having to explain the $18,000 fund donated by fellow Californ- ians—if Congress had listened to President Truman and Sen. Morse, Oregon Republican, more than a year ago. They suggested Congress pass a | law requiring members of Con- gress and all other government employes receiving a salary of at least $9,000 or $10,000 a year to list in a public record any other income or financial help. If Nixon had had to list the $18,000 collected for him for po- litical purposes, there would be no news or surprise now in the fact that the fund existed. This public record, at the same time, would have provided Gen. Eisenhower with more information about the man he picked his running mate. Truman made his suggestion Sept. 27, 1951, in a message to Congress. Morse has been intro- ducing a bill for the same purpose since 1947. Congress gave Truman the same treatment it has been giving Morse for five years: a good chill. Al- though they spend a sizable amount of time investigating other people’s financial dealings and disclosing them publiclymembers of Con- gress have shown small enthusiasm for disclosing their own. The President said the legisla- tion he suggested would prevent “improper conduct” and ‘“‘unfound- ed “suspicions.” He set his message to Congress at the time a Senate subcommittee of which Nixon was a member, was | investigating charges of poitical influence in government loans. At that moment the chairman of Tru- man’s Democratic party, William M. Boyle Jr., was before the com mittee. The President said the public record on income and financial help should be made not only by members of Congress and employe of the executive agencies, but also by judges, admirals, generals and even national party officials (which would have included Boyle). But Sen. Millikin, Colorado Re- publican, called the message ‘‘hog- wash” and a “cheap political trick.” A quarter of Britain’s national wealth was shot away or lost by bombing during World War II.

NEW YORK ® — Two escaped convicts were shot to death yester- day in a furious gun battle with police after leaving a trail of ter- ror across part of Pennsylvania into New York City. A detective was mortally wound- ed in the hail of submachine-gun and pistol fire. The third member of a despera- do trio was captured unhurt as 31 | policemen blasted their way into the apartment where the fugitives were hiding with three Negro women. Joseph Nolen, 26, and his brother Ballard, 22 — two gun-crazy bad men from Harlan ounty,Ky. died in the roaring five minutes of close-range fite. Detective Philip Lamonica, 45, shot three times in the chest,died in a hospital a short time later. Detective Nicholas Cotter, 34, was seriously wounded Captured was Elmer Schuer, 21, of Chicago, who broke out of the Lewisburg, Pa., federal prison with the Nolen brothers on Sept. 10. They had been serving long terms for bank robbery. There was an ironical twist to the captures — the trio never in- tended to come to New York. After their escape, they wanted to head for Scranton, Pa., but took a wrong road turn in a stolen car When they found themselves head- ed for New York, they figured they might as well “lose themselves in the crowds of the big city,’ police said. Schuer told police about the trio’s movements. Schuer admitted, police said, that the trio stole a dozen weapons from a Bronx gun store last Monday and looted a Bronx bank of $12,670 in | a daring daylight holdup the next day. A vast manhunt had been pressed for the three men since they escaped from Lewisburg. Ter- rorizing a large section of Penn- sylvania, they held a family of seven captive for 19 hours while they hid in their home, stole money and at least three cars, and stabbed a private-duty policeman. New York police, converging on a seventh-floor apartment in down- town Manhattan shortly after Sat- urday midnight on a tip that the fugitives were holed up there, found the place barricaded. The fugitives were surprised in a tryst with three Negro women, all of whom were seized and held as material witnesses. The apartment bore evidence of a drinking bout. Police said an unidentified suitor of one of the women — Arlene | Ball,32 — gave the information that led to the desperadoes’ hide- out. | A burst of gunfire — including | machine-gun blasts from at least one of the fugitivess — met the HAL BOYLE SAYS By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK # — The British | have just announced a breathless | discovery—breathless beer. They treat it with a chlorophyll | process and (it says here) the beer | tastes as good as ever—and no | matter how much you drink even | your mother-in-aw can’t smell it on you. But the English chemist who} disclosed they had married beer | and chlorophyll might as well save their breath if they intend to brag they have something new.
