Stevenson Meets Party Symbol WAR ROUNDUP By GEORGE A. MCARTHUR SEOUL, Korea \#?—A roaring ar- tillery duel today held at bay Chi- nese infantrymen threatening a vi- tal-Korean peak guarding the an- cient invasion route to Seoul. Fight- ing slackened elsewhere as the biggest Red offensive im a year neared the end of its second day. In Seoul, Gen. James A. Van Fleet, -U. S. Eighth Army com- mander, said: “The Eighth Army has stopped all: attacks without any penetra- tion of its main battle positions. Action has been limited to out- Posts, and the enemy has been clobbered in that area. “The troops which have partici- pated in the current action are as elated over the good shooting as I am. Morale never has been higher,” , And U. N. negotiators postponed indefinitely the armistice talks at Panmunjom. Top U. N. officials stressed that the talks were not necessarily at an end. AP correspondent Milo Farneti reported from the front that the Associated Press Photo GOVERNOR ADLAI STEVENSON of Illinols speaks a few words into the ear of a docile donkey after he arrived here today to make one of a series of speeches in Michigan.

It had changed hands 12 times in 42 hours of almost continuous fighting. White Horse, and nearby Arrow- head ridge, guard the sprawling Chorwon Valley and the gateway to the South. The peaks have been the main target of the Red of- fensive. Farneti said the battered rem- nants of a Red battalion were dug in on one slope. South Koreans by just off the peak on the other side. Big guns of both sides pounded the crest ceaselessly. The hard-fighting South Koreans fell back from the ridgeline shortly after “noon. Chinese reached the top, and were driven off by ar- , tillery. The savage battle still was | raging. ; Farneti said the Chinese may | have lost as many as 3,000 men in | the White Horse-Arrowhead sector | alone, Allied big guns ripped into one | group of 1,000 Chinese reinforce- | ments. Spotters said half the Reds | were killed or wounded. The Chinese assault force that smashed up White Horse today was powered by a wedge of 300 men who. charged with bayonets bared. Another 700 Chinese were right be- hind. At the crest the opposing sides closed in hand-to-hand fighting with grenades, bayonets, gun butts and fists. The South Koreans held off the Red infantrymen but had to give ground when the big Red guns opened up. When the Chinese reached the crest, Allied guns be- gan a withering barrage. There were bitter battles on a smaller scale on Arrowhead, Fin- ger Ridge, and at other isolated points across the 155-mile battle- front. Wherever the infantry clashed, Allied and Communist artillery joined in. In the 24 hours ended at 6 p.m. yesterday the Communists had fired 93,600 rounds—almost double their previous high for a single day. The Communists also brought | tanks into action near White Horse and again near Kumsong, French troops on Arrowhead fought off about 450 Chinese before dusk last night. More Reds pushed into the valley between’ White Horse and Arrowhead just before midnight. A French counterattack drove them off. Fighting flared for nine hours around Finger Ridge. Refugees . Western Germany Now Near Total Of 10 Million; Fifth Of Total Population By BRACK CURRY BONN, Germany (#—What ff all the people in New England ‘were homeless refugees? Western Germany faces a com- parable problem with refiigees there now nudging the fantastic total of 10 million. This is,over a fifth of the total population. Amerircan and German als see these millions of ‘anded people as a potential tinderbox for a social explosion. Already, failure to integrate the refugees into the life of West Ger- many has led to a wave of dis- content. Large numbers of refugees are threatening to take the law into their own hands and march into more prosperous areas of West Germany unless their plight is eased. The West German government is so alarmed over the flood of refugees that officials recently made a heart-breaking decision: | to tell the East Germans to stay put under Soviet oppression. In a special broadcast beamed to the East, the government said ¢ the CAPT. C. W. BEAN Bean has 10 : ears all East Germans except those lives are in danger must “hold ‘on to the earth of the fatherland” and keep up a core of resistance against communism, Government officials say West- ern Germany has spent the equiva- lent of six billion dollars since 1945 on the care of refugees. The United States has chipped in additional millions. Still the plight of the refugee in Germany is desperate, The government says: “In spite of enormous sums spent ... only 35 per cent of them have become fully integrated, smother 45 per cent have been provided with some kind of work but are far,from feeling integrated, while the re- maining 20 per cent are still with- out work and without hope of be- coming integrated in the future.” The bulk of the refugees—8,200,- 000—consists of Germans herded out of areas east of -the Qder- Neisse line or from such countries as Poland, Hungary, Romania and Naval Stati Czechosloyakia, In addition, there are some 1,700,000 who have bolted to the West from Soviet-occupied East Germany or East Berlin. One of the chief causes of the misery of these new citizens is their uneven distribution, Ameri can officials say the refugee pop- ulation is mainly concentrated in the agricultural states of Bavaria, Schleswig-Holstein and Lower Sax- ony, In Schleswig-Holstein, 37 per cent of the population are refugees. While these agricultural states are overcrowded by job seekers, mahy industrial regions are short of labor. In the industrial Ruhr, the shortage of miners long has plagued the coal industry. The obvious solution is to trans- plant the unused refugee manpower to the available job opportunities. But this has proved difficult to carrry out. . During 1951 only 95,000 refugee: were shifted from agricultural to industrial states. A shortage of funds and housing is holding up large-scale resettlement. nm fire West, an Official U.S. Navy Phot at to do when 2 fire occurs Says test fire-fightin men on earth are in Key West.
